Hi guys, I'm so sorry that i was not able to upload a new story. It was swamped this week , so i was unable to write a chapter, but hopefully this makes up for it. I read all reviews, and sometimes your thoughts help me write a better story so REVIEW and tell me what you think and what might happen next.

Everyone wore different clothing for the festivities. Everyone was dressed in black and gold clothing to match. The main group consisted of Lucy, Mira, Erza, Natsu, Laxus, and Gray, they will be competing in this year's Grand Magic Tournament and they all headed to their hotel. The group arrived yesterday in the city of Pergrande Kindom, it was one of the largest cities in Earthland and the newest location for the Grand Magic Tournament. Lucy wanted to explore the city, seeing how sorcerer weekly continuously raved "Pergrande City" as a must see. When they all arrived from the train, they were surprised to see the city so desolate, there wasn't anyone on the road and many of the shops seemed to be closed. Lucy was wondering what was going on, but instead of exploring the city they headed to their reservations. The group all slept in the same room and quickly got settled in, Lucy didn't know why the city was so empty, but decided she might have better luck at night.

Lucy waited for her friends to fall asleep so she can go explore the city by herself. She was upset to see how this beautiful city had almost no one on the streets, and as she continued walking she noticed a group of shady characters following her. She tried to avoid them by going through open places to close knit corners, but when they blitz at her surrounding her she asked.

"What do you guys want", Said Lucy in an upset manner.

"What do you think we want?" said the taller male, with his tongue licking his lips.

Lucy could tell this gang was completely drunk and their intentions were not pure, but all she could do was smile because she knew these guys would be getting their asses handed to them by her. She pulled out a silver key from her pocket ready to summon her trusted canine, but before she could do anything she felt flames appear out of nowhere. A circle of fire appeared around her in a whimsical mist. She was scared she was going to burn, but by the time the fire reached her, it was completely doused and her enemies on the floor. It was Natsu , who wiped out her opponents.

"Are you okay Lucy?" Natsu asked worried.

"You know I could have handled them myself Natsu, but thanks" said Lucy annoyed.

Natsu just scratched his head and laughed at the celestial mage.

"Well if you want, you can join me in exploring the city, it may be nice if someone accompanied me", Lucy asked with one of her lips quivering.

"Of course Luce", said the glad dragon slayer.

They wondered the town constantly looking at the pretty sights, they were enjoying each other company and they were constantly laughing at each other, until they saw the palace. It was gigantic and the sight halted the two mages.

"The Magic Tournament starts in two days, do you think you will be ready" asked the dragon slayer.

"Don't worry about me, I got some surprises up my sleeve, and I won't let down Fairytail like last year, I trained and I'm a new person now", said Lucy confidently.

"I know your strong Lucy, but I miss the days that you would rely on me", said Natsu looking down at the floor.

"Nat-su", whispered the celestial mage.

"Well whatever Luce, you haven't seen me at my best" said Natsu with a giant smile and his arm in the air.

Lucy smiled and let out a small laugh. The sun was coming up and both mages were shocked that they spent the entire night goofing off. A shadowed figured quickly moved away from the castles top window. The two mages were being watched the entire time.

(The next morning)

The city was a buzz, the entire city had risen and the Fairytail gang couldn't believe that this many people existed in the city before, seeing how it was a ghost town. Lucy and Natsu were still in their beds, seeing how none of them woke up because of last night. Erza had to physically flip both Natsu and Lucy's bed for them to get off of their mattresses. They were both tired, and Natsu was still in his pajamas, but Erza forced both of them to change. Today all 7 teams had to go to Pergrande Capitol and sign their guilds in. Heading towards the Castel Lucy noticed that the insides resembled a colosseum on the inside. It contained many seats all around and a huge field on the middle ground with many balconies and towers. As Fairytails team arrived, Laxus pointed out how they were last to arrive to the stadium.

"How nice of you guys to join us" said a female voice that no one has heard of before.

Everyone was now facing the north tower, where the voice came from. There stood a gorgeous female, she has pale with lavender eyes and light blond hair that falls past her waist, which she kept tied at the end with a bow. She had no pupils, her iris was a light purple color and she wore a gold crown with a giant spike in the front and two equal spikes adjacent to it. Every guys eyes were locked onto the princess beauty, she was breath taking, and she wore a pink Kimono that was made by the finest material. She was stunning and that's when Lucy hit both Natsu and Laxus on their heads, smacking them down.

"You guys shouldn't drool", said the angry celestial mage.

Both men were now on the floor rubbing on their newly made injury.

"Now that you have all appeared, I am here to explain a few things for this year's Grand Magic Tournament. The Chairman has been put on leave due to recent incidents, and he won't be hosting this year's events (He's dead, last chapter). I will be the Chairmen this year, and we are making changes, more of these matters will be explained during the games, that is all", said the new chairman of the Games as she quickly left the balcony and went inside her castle.

Everyone was baffled, what has happened to the pumpkin king, but no one really cared seeing they were too happy to see there long forgotten friends. Blue Pegasus quickly went to Mermaid Heels side, as Saber tooth came to talk to Fairytail.

"So are you guys ready to lose this year again", stated sting.

"Why you little..", shouted Natsu, who was being held back by Erza.

"Can't we all just have fun this year ", explained Mirajane.

"humpf", stated Rogue.

"Let our actions do the taking, tomorrow the Grand Magic tournament starts, and we will see whose best in Earthland", stated the peppy blond.

"We will see about that", Raven Tail leader explained as he walked by the two teams.

All the teams were now looking at each other, not as friends or enemies but as competition.
