For the past few weeks, I had been training with Levy for the Grand Magic Games.

There was one week until Master Makarov would choose the teams.

"Lucy, stop worrying about me." She laughs and hold a hand up to take a break. "We both know that I won't be chosen for a team."

"You don't know that." I smile.

We go inside of her house and she pours me a cup of tea. I swirl the liquid around my cup and sigh quietly. All this time, Jasper had been back with my mother, some kind of royal business. No doubt, I missed his company.

"Do you miss Jasper?" Levy asks me, almost reading my mind.

"Huh?" I look at her, snapping out of my daze.

"I guess I don't even need to ask you. Your face is readable enough." She smirks at me.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I say in a sing-song voice and walk out of her kitchen.

"Don't lie to me Lucy!" She yells out after me. "When's he supposed to be back anyways?" She sits beside me on the couch.

"Not for awhile. I don't think he'll even be able to participate in the games." I sigh. Having Jasper on one of the teams would raise our chances on winning.

"That's too bad," she sighs along with me. "We could use some strong wizards."

"I agree. By the way, how has Fairy Tail done in the past years?"

"Well, second to Sabertooth. That was last year." I nod, urging her to go on. "We haven't gotten through the preliminary events for any of the other years." She says quietly.

"I'm sure we'll come in first this year." I raise a thumb up and smile. She smiles back.

-a week later-

"Hey Natsu." I sit at one of the seats at the bar.

"Hey Luce. Ready for the announcement?"

"Yeah. I'm really excited." Right as I said that, Makarov motions everyone to gather around him.

"Thank you everyone for joining me this afternoon. I'm sure you all are excited to hear my chosen team." He says with excitement.

"I guess he's not choosing two teams this year?" I look over at Natsu, who is staring intently at Makarov.

"I suppose not," He says with interest and then turns to me. "Besides, there's only one spot for first place, right?" I nod, and turn my attention back to Makarov.

"This year I have chosen: Erza Scarlet, Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfilia, Gray Fullbuster, and Lisanna Strauss." He says. I nod, noticing that Jasper was not called, due to his absence. I assured myself that if he was here, he would be called. I sigh as well, knowing that with Lisanna on my team, there would be an overflow of unwanted drama

"Nice job Luce! Not like you needed to worry anyways." He laughs.

"Thanks." I laugh back.

Sitting on the couch back at Jasper's, I felt myself feeling very lonely. I sigh and look around.

"It feels so different without you here." I chuckle and look around. I lay down, and close my eyes, staring up at the ceiliing "Hey Lucy!" A head leans over the couch in front of mine.

A/N: I can't believe I'm already at chapter 10. Thanks to all of my lovely followers for leaving reviews and stuff, I really appreciate it.
