Konnichiwa, minna! I'm REALLY SORRY that I haven't updated for a while, I was really busy! Really! So SORRY! And, this chapter may seem a bit uneventful, but I promise the next one will be so much awesummer! Anyways, TYSM for reviewing, I passed 100! Honestly, I was NOT expecting it when I started, I was thinking even going up to 50 was a miracle! Anyways, enjoy this chapter, even though I found it slightly boring :P

Disclaimer: I don't want to rub it in, but yeah, I don't own Fairy Tail! Hiro Mashima does XDD! AND HE IS AN AWESOME MANGAKA!

"WELCOME, TO THE GRAND MAGIC TOURNAMENT, DAY 1! As there was a little… commotion between the teams yesterday, we didn't get to announce the names of the people in the teams! (that's a lie, I actually forgot to mention it =.=) From Sabertooth: Sting, Rogue, Minerva, Orga, and Rufus! From Fairy Tail Team A: Natsu, Gray, Erza, Wendy and Lucy! From Fairy Tail Team B: Laxus, Juvia, Cana, Mirajane, and Gajeel! From Blue Pegasus: Ichiya, Hibiki, Eve, Ren, and Nichiya! From Lamia Scale: Jura, Lyon, Sherry, Chelia and Toby! From Mermaid Heel: Kagura, Arania, Beth, Risley,and Milliana! From Quatro Cerebus: Nobarly, Yaeger, War Cry, Rocker, and Bacchus! Last but not least, the mysterious guild that suddenly shot up in the ranks, Angel Snow! There is: Snow White, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Odette, and Maria!" (just saying, apart from Angel Snow, the rest of the people are actually from the canon! If you forgot about them, that's okay, cuz I did too ^^ until I researched a bit XDD)

Everyone sweatdropped at Angel Snow's odd names, Maria being an exception. But seriously, fairy tale names?

Pumpkin ignored everyone's looks and continued talking. "Today's program consists of the four battles, and the… FOREST HUNT! Us judges will be choosing who will participate in the battles, but you are free to choose whoever you want to go in the events! The battles, which will be in a moment, are quite simple. There is only one rule: keep fighting until one is unable to fight any longer, or they give up. The afternoon will be the forest hunt, a survival type game where there are traps and beasts lurking EVERYWHERE! The objective is to collect as much magical stones as you can, you can steal other players' stones as well! There are no rules, except no outside interference. That is all! The battles will now commence! TODAY'S FIRST BATTLE WILL BE: BLUE PEGASUS, NICHIYA VS. LAMIA SCALE, LYON! AFTER THAT, WE WILL HAVE: FT TEAM B, CANA VS. MERMAID HEEL: ARANIA! THEN, THERE WILL BE: SABERTOOTH, RUFUS VS. QUATRO CEREBUS, NOBARLY! FINALLY BEFORE NOON, WE WILL HAVE: ANGEL SNOW, ODETTE VS. FAIRY TAIL, ERZA!"

And then…

Lucy payed little attention to the battle between Nichiya and Lyon. It was rather pitiful, to have the inexperienced cat go against a skilled mage like Lyon. Of course, after two years, Nichiya had improved a lot more in his 'parfume magic' with the help of Ichiya, but it was still no where near the level of the ice-make mage. She sighed and sat back, thinking about the afternoon event's 'Forest Hunt'. It seemed like déjà vu, surviving in a forest with traps and dangerous creatures. I am sooooo participating in this one. The 'Forest' is my specialty, after all. She was brought back to the present with the loud announcement that Lyon had won the battle. That meant Cana was up next, so Lucy decided to move closer to Fairy Tail to cheer with them.

The fight was slightly better than the last one, the two mages were on pretty even ground for the first five minutes. That was, until Cana got caught in Arania's spider web-magic. The balance was tipped, and FT Team B was in a very bad position. Arania toyed with the poor card mage as she tried to wriggle free from the sticky web, but to no avail. Every one from Fairy Tail cheered ferociously, even the usually bored Laxus was staring at the match, clenching the railing tightly (no Laxus x Cana here =.=, just Laxus loves Fairy Tail XDD). But there seemed to be something wrong with Cana. She didn't seem as strong as usual?

Cana managed to get a trembling finger onto her cards. She pulled some random ones out, and shouted, "Tower, Lightning, and Shadow! STORM CAGE!" The sky around the arena darkened and Lucy could hear the rumbling of thunder. Then… CRACK!

The whole of Fairy Tail… no, everyone's jaws dropped. Cana… MISSED HER TARGET? Was this yet again interference from the outside? Cana had looked quite weakened before the fight as well… well, that's what they thought until Cana spoke up. "Damn, I guess I shouldn' ta had that drinkin contest with Bacchus earlier… ugh… huh? Where's my booze?" Everyone fell anime-style, that BAKA CANA! Fairy Tail groaned as they watched the drunk mage wobble around. (yeah, I'm sorry if you're all disappointed about Cana, even I am :/! But I wanted to make someone lose first)

The last two matches didn't even last five minutes. Rufus had 'memorised' Nobarly, and the match was already sealed at the beginning. It was the same for Erza vs. Odette. Odette had started prancing around in his beautiful, silky, blue dress which Lucy had recommended. He waved to his 'Aneki', and had not paid attention at all, which resulted in a crushing defeat. He didn't even show his magic yet, and Erza KO'D him out of anger.

And then…

It was noon, so FT Team A decided to grab some food to eat before the Forest Hunt started. Lucy was happily munching on a veggie roll, her teammates beside her. It wasn't long before Natsu and Gray had started a fight again, with a distressed Wendy trying to calm them down. Erza, Lucy, Happy, and Carla all ignored the three loud mages, and everyone else who was in the restaurant evacuated in a panic. That was, until they started using magic. And almost froze/burnt Lucy. The two idiots didn't notice what they had done, whilst Wendy rushed forward to help her friend.

"Oh, my! Lucy-san, are you okay? Here, I'll heal y-"

"No need, Wendy. I need to go teach those two assh*les some manners."

Wendy sweatdropped as she watched the seriously pissed off blonde get up, cracking her knuckles, and made her way to the fighting mages. The two, as if sensing a dangerous presence, stopped fighting to see a demonic figure heading towards them. They gulped and backed away slightly, realising the severe mistake they had just made. "L-lucy… we can… er… we're n-not f-fighting!" Gray stuttered, reluctantly putting an arm around Natsu. Natsu mirrored him, and managed to quack out an, "Aye!" Lucy gave them a sparkly smile.

"Lesson 1… never. Waste. Your. FOOD!" she screamed the last word, and lunged at them. Before the two boys could react, the felt an impact on their stomachs and were thrown backwards by the force of Lucy's kick.

"Lesson 2… don't. Fight. At. A. RESTAURANT!" she roughly grabbed them both by the collars and flung them across the room.

"Lesson 3… let. People. Finish. Their. Frigging. LUNCH!" Wendy and Happy winced slightly as the out of control girl kicked them hard straight in the face. The ice and fire mage were both lying on their stomachs, and were about to get up, when… "Ouch!" They both gasped, as Lucy sat on Natsu, and slammed her feet (she had steel boots on) into Gray.

"Hmm… have you learnt your lessons now?" The beat up mages nodded vigorously, afraid of the demon-like girl towering over them. She glared at them for a couple more seconds, before giving a sharp nod. "Good to know. I hope you don't interrupt my meal, EVER AGAIN."

Lucy stood up and headed towards a random table, grabbing an untouched pie, before sitting back down next to Wendy. Erza, who was eating a strawberry cake throughout the whole incident, nodded at Lucy in approval. "I see you can discipline them properly now, Lucy. Good job, you can take over for me when I am busy." Everyone sweatdropped at that, even Lucy.

And then…

Everyone was assembled at the arena yet again for the afternoon event, Forest Hunt. The arena was already set up so it was a giant forest with various types of trees and bushes. Pumpkin cleared his throat, and spoke into the microphone. "And now, we have the afternoon event… Foooooorrrrreeeeest Huuuunt!" People clapped and cheered, anticipating the event that was about to start. "Before we start, let's review the rules and aims, shall we? The aim of Forest Hunt is to collect as much magical stones as you can, using whatever method you want. Be careful, since you're in a forest, beasts can be lurking ANYWHERE! And don't forget the deadly traps we set up around the forest! Well, we aren't responsible for your deaths… hehehe… ANYWAYS! TEAMS, PLEASE CHOOSE A MEMBER TO PARTICIPATE IN 'FOREST HUNT'! Send them out when you are done, and we shall START!"

Lucy watched as Gray and Natsu started arguing for who will participate. Lucy, who had her mind set on entering the event, slapped them both on top of their heads. She closed her eyes for a few seconds, and when she opened them, the two mages shrieked in terror. Lucy had the scariest expression on and her glare penetrated the both of them. They shivered slightly as the furious girl towered over them. "I'm going in this event, so bug off. Or it won't be pretty." The two nodded their heads vigorously, the both of them hadn't forgotten the 'scary Lucy' incident a moment ago.

Lucy smirked as she watched Natsu and Gray cower in fear. Heh. My win. Stepping forward into the arena, she heard the loud cheers and yells of 'good luck!' from Fairy Tail. She crouched down, prepared to run as soon as Pumpkin announced the start.
