:P Just gonna "wing it" in this chapter.

Chapter 25

"Rivalry"

I kinda knew that this was going to happen anyway, but I was still was pretty shocked. I took a glance at Dad, and he seemed happy because he was kind of smirking. I looked at Storm, and he looked shocked. Luna's expression made it seem like he didn't really care. And Nalu-

"Agh!", Nalu stormed to her room and slammed the door. She's angry?

"Congrats Mom.", I said smiling trying to get her mind off of Nalu's reaction. Clearly it didn't work because she still had a frown on her face.

"I hope it's a boy.", Natsu said grinning.

"I'm just hoping he/she won't be annoying.", I stated.

"I'd like to have a younger brother.", Luna thought out loud.

"I'm not sure what I want.", Mom said.

"I'll be right back.", I said remembering about Nalu. I went to her room and knocked on the door. I suspect she knew it was me because she opened it straight away.

"Hey Soupy..", she said laying back on her bed.

"Are you okay?", I asked sitting on the bed by her feet.

"Yeah."

"You ran to your room right after Mom said the news. Think about how you would feel if your daughter ever did that."

"But I'm never going to get married.", she stated like it was obvious.

"I'm pretty sure you're going to marry that Yuri guy-", she shot me a warning glare, and I quickly stopped talking. "Anyway.. Why don't you want a little sister or brother?"

"I don't know.."

"You don't?"

"I guess that the new baby is going to be the cutest now, and I won't really be anything special in the family anymore."

"Your worried about that? Seriously? You're always going to be my favorite sister even if the baby ends up being a girl. I promise that, okay?", she smiled and nodded. "So how's school.", I asked.

"Rosie is nice as always with Starla being rude and annoying, and I don't see Yuri as much as Rosie and Starla because he's in 8th grade.", Nalu said.

"I guess that means I'll see him if he goes to my high school.", I laughed while thinking about the plan to get Nalu and Yuri together.

"You better not do anything or else!", she glared at me, and I gave up on the plan.

"Fine.."

"Thanks Soupy!", she smiled and shoved me out of her room. The best start to being polite.. not. I decide to walk back to everyone, and of course Dad and Storm are having their little fights while Mom is yelling at Dad to stop being immature. Luna is laughing at them, and I just sigh. I walk in between Storm and Dad and in a stern voice, like Erza, I say, "Stop." They both stop quickly, and Dad goes to Mom while Storm is trying to sneak his way over to Luna away from me.

"I guess I really did scare you this time!", I declared my victory. Storm immediately walked back to me and frowned.

"You didn't scare me. It was your dad who did."

"Sure..", I rolled my eyes.

"How's Nalu?", he asked.

"Well we talked, and she's fine now.", I answered smiling.

"That's good. I should probably go cuz it's 8."

"Bye.", he kissed my forehead and left. I'm glad Dad was distracted by Mom, so he couldn't yell at Storm for kissing just my forehead. Yay!

The next day I was in homeroom, and Anna was as happy as ever. She glared at me as Storm and I sat in our seats. I just ignored her and paid attention to the teacher.

"Hello everyone! There's a new student I would like to introduce!", a petite girl who looked a lot younger than us, walked into the room. She had light purple hair with silver eyes, and she was wearing a blue sundress. It seemed she was barefoot for a strange reason.

"Hi, my name is Misty.", she shyly said and took a seat in the empty desk in front of me. Lucky me! She's seems really nice.

"Hi. I'm Nashi.", she turned around and smiled.

"Nice to meet you. You're name seems familiar somewhere.."

"My parents are Natsu and Lucy Dragneel, so maybe that's it."

"Oh yeah. You're a dragon slayer like me."

"You're a dragon slayer?", I asked.

"Yes. I can manipulate water.", she answered.

"I can use fire."

"I don't really like fire all that much..", she mumbled loud enough I could hear.

"How come?"

"Oh, no reason.."

I frown and just continue to concentrate on the teacher.

I feel as if something is off from that Misty girl. She seems suspicious. Or maybe she just doesn't like me. e-o

I'm in the magic class, which is my second to last period before school ends for the rest of the day. We're outside and everyone is supposed to battle against each other, of course we're not going to be going overboard. At least we'll try not too. The first pair is Storm against Lorie. Of course I'm cheering on for Storm mostly, but I have to partly cheer for Lorie because he is my friend also.

I look around the room and see Misty. I was about to walk over to her..

"Hey Nashi.", I turned and saw Eric.

"Hi. Have you seen the new girl?", I asked.

"Yeah. She seems a bit off."

"Well she uses dragon slayer magic so maybe that's it."

"Maybe. Who are you cheering on. Storm or Lorie?"

"Obviously Storm.", I giggle a bit.

"Then I'll cheer for Lorie since no one else will.", he grinned and walked away. I looked where Misty was sitting again except she wasn't there. That's strange..

"Hello.", I turned to see Misty smiling. I almost jumped out of surprise.

"Er.. Hi.."

"Who do you think is going to win?", Misty asked. I've seen Storm fight, and he held up pretty well with Dad. Though, Dad and Loke were probably going easy on him because they didn't want to go overboard. I haven't seen Lorie fight. I'm somewhat curious to see what power he is capable of.

"I'm not sure."

"I bet I could beat both of them.", she said confidently. She seems like a completely different person than when she was first introduced as.

"I don't know what kind of power Lorie has, but I'm for sure definite that I would win against Storm."

"And why is that?"

"I just know.", I said not being entirely honest.

"I'm pretty sure I would win against you. Water would be impossible to win against for you.", Misty stated.

"Nah. My flames can make water evaporate if they're hot enough. Nothing's impossible unless if you believe so.", I said.

"Then prove it by battling me here in front of everyone.", she smiled.

"Wait.. What? We don't know if the teacher is going to pick us."

"I asked her if we could fight actually. She seems to like me.", the hell? Ms. Crankypants doesn't even like people. She said so herself!

"Ok..", I responded puzzled.

[Storm's P.O.V.]

I was about to battle with Lorie, and I already knew he was going to be a challenge. He literally has the power of the celestial world with him! I was trying to find Lorie before we were going to fight, but I was interrupted when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I already knew who it was and frowned.

"What do you want Eric."

"I was just going to say good luck. No need to be rude.", he responded.

"And why would you do that?", I turned and glared at him.

"I just talked to Nashi, and she was she's cheering on for you."

"Well of course she would cheer for me.", I answered. It made me feel better that Nashi said that because she probably wouldn't say it to my face. He just shrugged and walked away.

[Flashback]

It was the time when Natsu gave us detention. Nashi was sleeping, and I was bored looking at the clock. I think it was after a century when Natsu said, "Detention over." Everyone quickly got out of the classroom wanting to escape boredom, and Natsu walked over to me.

"She's taking to long, and she gets cranky when she gets woken up. Can you take her home?", I was about to respond, but when I turned my head to look at him, he was gone. I shrugged and was about to wake her up until I saw Eric walk in.

"Hi Eric. Sorry about punching you."

"Whatever. Because your her boyfriend, I'll tell you this: I like her, and I don't plan on losing."

"W-What?!", I stated befuddled.

"We're rivals starting now.", he walked out the room in a flash leaving me confused. So he did try to kiss Nashi? I probably shouldn't tell Nashi about this..

I shake the thoughts out of my head as I see Lorie enter the room. The room is special because magic can not damage or break it. Also, you can't see out but you can see in, so Nashi and everyone else could see us but we can't see them.

"Hey Lorie.", the reason everyone really wants to win is because this is basically a test. So if you lose the match, you have failed a test. Which wouldn't go well with my report card.

"Hey Storm."

"I haven't seen your magic before. I've been wondering what it was."

"I've heard that you have ice-make magic.", we heard the countdown start, and when it was finished I did the first attack.

"Ice make, Lance!", I launched a line of ice towards him, and he quickly dodged.

"My turn!", he smiled brightly. "Regulus Impact!", a ray of light came towards me, and I quickly did my ice-make magic.

"Ice make, Shield!", a light blue shield covered me, and the attack had no effect. So he uses his Dad's magic..

"Ice make, Dragon!", a large dragon came towards him, and he sent a ray of light that shattered it. Without waiting for him to attack, I send another attack. "Ice make, Hammer!", a hammer dropped, and he started rubbing his head.

"That really hurt you know!", he yelled at me.

"I know.", I grin, and he grins back. He ran to me and shouted with light growing in the hand.

"Regulus!", he punched my face pretty harshly, and I could already feel a bruise.

"Ow..", I said rubbing my cheek. "Ice make, Arrows!", I released a bunch of arrows, that were made out of ice, at him. Surprisingly he didn't dodge fast enough and actually got shot by a few of them.

I heard a familiar cranky voice come up over the speakers. "Time's up. You both get 50%", DAMNIT! I forgot about the time limit. Well.. Hopefully Dad won't be that mad at me.. Heh..

[Nashi's P.O.V.]

I was kind of disappointed that the time ran out because Storm probably would've won if he did another attack. Molly was on my right, and Jared was on my left. "Who were you cheering for Molly?", I asked her because I already knew Jared's answer.

"I guess Lorie.", she answered.

"Listen up! The next pair to fight is Nashi and Misty.", Cranky said. I turned to Misty, and she smiled mischievously. I really have a bad feeling about this.

Now you guys know what Eric is up too , I wanted to add another person in so here is Misty, the water dragon slayer. Do such things exist? Yup. Please R&R if you like this or want to give any suggestions. Thanks for reading!
