Chapter 4

"Lu-chan, you're so slow!" Orga said as he watched Lucy struggle with his luggage. Orga smiled in amusement as he watched the Celestial mage carry four huge bags in her hands. She resembled a helpless puppy, and Orga just knew exactly how to irritate the blonde Celestial mage so much. The Lightning God Slayer whistled happily as he and his teammates headed to the train station.

It was finally the day before Grand Magic Games. The mages were super excited! They had trained for this event, and they were absolutely thrilled.

"You could just ask for help you know." Rogue appeared beside the Stellar mage and took two of the bags Lucy was holding. Sting and Rufus also followed and took the remaining bags she was carrying, leaving her with nothing. Lucy sighed at their actions and walked alongside Minerva, Yukino and the exceeds.

"Ahh! That's not fair! Lu-chan lost in our drinking match. I get to boss her for the whole day." Orga whined at his teammates actions.

Flashback:

It was the two days before the Grand Magic Games and the Sabertooth mages were busy cheering on the contestants this year. They had organized a party to boost the participants' confidence for the event. Everyone was now preparing a massive amount of alcohol for the drinking contest, and Lucy had been dragged into it somehow.

"You can do it Lucy-nee!" Minerva cheered as Lucy seated beside Orga, Rufus and other members of the guild.

"How did I get dragged into this?" Lucy sweatdropped and sighed as she looked at the alcohol that was in front of her. Orga had somehow persuaded her that if she beat him in a drinking match, he would stop bothering her for a whole month. Orga was the king of teasing and annoying Lucy, so she accepted his proposal. She obviously needed a break from him every now and then.

"Ready .. and Go!" Yukino declared. As soon as they heard the signal, everyone had immediately started drinking. The white-haired mage laughed and cheered everyone on as soon as it started. After a few drinks, Lucy and Orga were the only ones left drinking, much to everyone's surprise.

"I am *hic* so not *hic* going to lose to you *hic*. Why are you *hic* wearing a dress? *hic* Min-chan, when *hic* did you dye your hair green? *hic* Why did Sting and Rogue become cats? *hic*" Lucy said with a very flushed face. She was drunk and was already hallucinating, but she didn't stop drinking. Her determination to beat Orga didn't falter. The Stellar mage chugged her 43rd mug of alcohol, and so did the Lighting God Slayer.

"Lucy you're funny! Just give up!" Orga drowsily said as he obnoxiously patted Lucy's head. The drunk blonde tried her best to balance herself from drowsiness but was easily knocked out when Orga's massively huge hand landed on her head. She fell back from drowsiness and was easily caught by Minerva, who was very irritated at Orga because he dragged Lucy into this mess. Yukino was beside Minerva, the white-haired mage was busy aiding the passed out Rufus.

"See! I won! I am the greatest!" Orga said as he laughed at the unconscious Lucy.

*BAM*

"Stupid Slayer." Sting and Rogue muttered as they whacked the Lighting God Slayer's head. The Twin Dragon Slayers were irritated at the fact that Orga just made their Lucy-nee drink alcohol.

"Let's go home." Rogue said as he dragged the unconscious Orga by the leg outside the guild. Sting on the other hand was carrying Rufus like a sack of potatoes and trailed behind the Shadow Dragon Slayer. Yukino walked beside Minerva, who was piggybacking Lucy.

End of Flashback.

Orga groaned when he noticed that his teammates just completely ignored him and boarded the train without him.

Crocus, Fiore

For quite some time, the Sabertooth mages had been strolling around Crocus. Sightseeing was their top priority for the day before they had to check-in at the hotel they had been assigned to. The mages were walking down the stone path when they heard voices.

"Really? I thought they were dead! They were missing for 7 years." Two middle-aged women chatted as they passed by in front of the Sabertooth mages. They noticed Lucy tense up immediately, she didn't want to remember any of what happened in Tenroujima. Zeref. Acnologia. They were simply too painful.

"Look Lucy-nee! The clothes in that shop will undoubtedly fit you perfectly!" Minerva nervously said trying her best to cheer up the blonde from painful memories. She pulled Lucy, Yukino and the two cats towards the shop and disappeared in an instant. The others sweatdropped, it was so obvious that Minerva wanted to cheer Lucy up but at the same time, everyone knew that the dango-haired mage was obsessed when it comes to dressing up the Celestial mage.

Pink curtains, frilly dresses, and overly flowery walls greeted Orga, Sting, Rogue, and Rufus as they entered the shop. There was no way they were going to stay at this store! All four had now turned their backs and was ready to leave the girly store when a white-haired Celestial mage suddenly blocked the exit. She had her arms spread out to indicate that they cannot leave the shop just yet. The four looked at the white-haired mage with a frown. They adore Lucy, but being in a shop like this shatters their pride. They were eager to leave as soon as possible.

When the four of them turned around, Minerva's eyes sparkled. This could only mean one thing. 'Lucy.' They all thought and sweatdropped at Minerva. The Blonde Celestial mage was incredible; she was the only one who could tame the dango-haired mage. Everyone, including Minerva, feels the same way. Lucy had made a positive difference in their lives. It only took losing her once for them to realize how much she means to them.

"She's just too adorable!" Minerva said as she tried her best to calm down. Yukino nodded in agreement, having chosen the cutest outfit for the blonde Stellar mage with the purple-haired mage.

As if on cue, Lector and Frosch dragged a blushing Lucy out of the changing room. The blonde Celestial mage was struggling to free herself from the grasp of the two exceeds. She was too embarrassed to let anyone see her in that condition. She was already in front of her teammates before she could say anything to the two cats. Oh Dear!

When they saw the blonde Stellar mage, everyone gasped in awe. She wasn't just cute; she was stunning! Yukino had chosen a pink frilly sundress with white linings that reached her knees for the blonde mage. Minerva had accessorized her dress with a pink sun hat and a stunning star necklace. Everyone blushed at how enthralling she was.

The blonde Celestial mage shifted her gaze to her teammates, who were all staring at her. Their piercing gaze made her feel more embarrassed. She blushed and immediately squatted down like a child and hid her face using her hat. She had no idea what those stares meant, she was so perplexed. She wanted to run away from them.

Before Lucy could even stand up and run back to the changing room, a hand had adjusted her hat, making her face visible to everyone. When she looked up, she noticed that Sting was the owner of the hand. The Light Dragon Slayer gave her a friendly smile. When she looked behind him, she noticed that everyone else was also smiling at her.

"Lucy-nee. You once told Rufus that it's not nice to hide your face, you're doing it right now. You look absolutely pretty." Sting pouted as he pulled Lucy up.

"I agree with Sting. Lucy-nee is pretty. This shall be recorded in my memory." Rufus said with a smile.

"Fro thinks Fairy-san is beautiful!" Frosch chirped happily.

"I agree with Frosch." Lector goofily smiled.

"Lucy-nee is really beautiful." Rogue smiled as he patted Frosch's head.

"Lucy-sama should not hide her face." Yukino happily implied.

"Yeah. You look cute." Orga continued.

"See? It isn't that bad Lucy-nee. C'mon, we already paid for that." Minerva smiled as she held her hand out to Lucy. The blonde Stellar mage was on the verge of crying. How she loved these guys so much. She accepted the dango-haired mage's hand.

"I love you guys." The blonde said as she wiped a tear away.

"We love you too." Everyone happily replied as they led her out of the shop.

The Sabertooth mages had plenty of time to kill after checking into their assigned hotel. Everyone agreed to go their separate ways and meet up later that night at the hotel. Yukino and Minerva, who were obsessed with dressing up the blonde celestial mage, had decided to hit every clothing shop in Crocus, planning on buying more clothes to dress Lucy in. Orga had decided to unwind in a café, dragging Rufus along for company. The Twin Dragon Slayers scoured Crocus for the other GMG competitors, wanting to be ready for anything. And lastly, Lucy was with the Twin Dragon's exceeds and was strolling around the area.

"Fro really thinks that Fairy-san is pretty." Frosch stated. The green exceed looked at the blonde Stellar mage who seems to be lost in her thoughts. She was looking down at the ground, her face hidden behind her hat, avoiding everyone's stare. The blonde was overjoyed with what happened at the shop; receiving such compliments from them made her feel warm and fuzzy, but also embarrassed. As she smiled at the thoughts, a pink flush crept up her cheeks.

When Lucy returned to reality, she noticed that two specific exceeds were no longer walking alongside her. When did she lose them? Oh dear. Sting and Rogue are going to be mad at her if anything happens to any of the two. How on earthland does she lose two cats in just a matter of seconds? Instead of panicking, she was calm; she carefully looked through the crowd and saw a tint of pink and red. She saw a happily distracted Frosch chasing a harmless butterfly, Lector following behind the green exceed.

As the Celestial mage was slowly gradually catching up to the two exceeds, someone had accidentally bumped into her causing her to lose sight of the two. Trying her best to find a way through the massive crowds, she found herself a few meters away from a huge fountain in the middle of town. She figured that the exceeds were probably waiting for her near the fountain.

As the Stellar mage examined the fountain, she did indeed saw two exceeds sitting near the fountain talking to someone.

"We'll wait for Lushi here. Don't cry." As the red exceed tried to calm the crying green exceed down, a white-haired mage had seated beside them.

"What's the problem?" The white-haired mage said as he patted the crying Frosch. The two cats looked up at him confused, and the mage smiled in return.

"We are waiting for our partner. We wandered off and she lost track of us." Lector said at the white-haired mage.

"That's a very irresponsible thing to do. Your partner must be so worried!" The white-haired mage chuckled at the two exceeds.

"Fro is sorry Lector-kun." Frosch said with a teary-eyed expression. The white-haired mage smiled at the sight of the two caring exceed.

"So you are Fro and Lector? Nice to meet you. I am Lyon Vastia." The two exceeds nodded at his question and acknowledge his name.

"So, how long did you know your partner? What does your partner look like?" Lyon asked out of curiosity seeing as the two cats were waiting patiently for their partner.

"More than 7 years. She rescued us with our Dragon Slayer partners. She is super nice and we love her so much!" Lector happily started. 'He sure gets talkative when it comes to their partner.' Lyon smiled at the exceeds words.

"She has a White Sabertooth guild mark on the back of her right hand; she has long golden hair and brown eyes. Right now, she's wearing a pink frilly dress, a pink sun hat, and a star necklace around her neck. Her name is L-" Before Lector could even finish his sentence, a girl that matched the red exceed's description ran towards them and hugged both exceeds.

Lyon watched with fascination in his eyes as he saw the two exceeds cheer up instantly. The girl caught his interest. She seems awfully familiar.

"You shouldn't wander off like that. What if something bad happens to you?" Lyon heard the girl said, he chuckled and noticed the White Sabertooth guild mark on the back of the girl's right hand while she was patting the two cats in front of her.

"Fro is sorry." Frosch said to the girl. Lyon couldn't see the girl's face but knew she was smiling from under that hat. As the girl laughed, it was like music to the ice mage's ear. His lips curved into an uncontrollable smile, and the sound of her voice made his heart race. What is causing his heart to race? The ice mage hadn't even seen her face yet, but she had already made her feel this way.

Lyon was a little surprised when he noticed the blonde had already picked up the two exceeds and was now face to face with him. The blonde was facing down at the ground as she faced him. He still couldn't see her whole face, half of it was covered by her pink hat, only the mouth area of her face was visible from Lyon's perspective.

"Thank you so much mister." Lyon noticed the star-shaped necklace that dangled around her neck as she bowed to him as a sign of thanks. A blush tinted his cheeks, but luckily the girl couldn't see his face at all. She was really nice. Just like how Lector described her.

She had already left before the white-haired ice mage could even ask for her name. His gaze scanned the crowds carefully, but there was no sign of a blonde. He clenched his fist and looked down at the ground, dejected. A tint of silver captured his eyes, it was the blonde's star necklace.

"Who are you?" He whispered as he picked up the necklace from the ground.

Hotel,

"Where could she have gone?" Rogue impatiently said as he paced back and forth in front of the door waiting for a certain Celestial mage. Everyone was feeling the same, they were worried at the Stellar mage. It was already late and everyone except Lucy and the exceeds were already gathered at the hotel. Lucy is strong, but they just can't help but worry about her and the two exceeds.

The silence filled the room as they watched the door with bated breath. A few minutes passed, and finally! She arrived with two exceeds trailing behind her. The Stellar mage smiled as she carried large plastic bags.

"I'm back! Sorry it took a while, but I bought us dinner." Lucy bowed down to her teammates as an apology for being late. Everyone was touched by her actions, she's so thoughtful. Whoever marries her will be the luckiest person on earth.

Minerva intently watched the blonde Stellar mage as she placed the plastic bags on a small table. The blonde-haired mage looked different somehow. Is there something missing? But what is it? The dango-haired mage ignored her thoughts and brushed them off as she unpacked the food from the plastic bags.

"Lucy-sama isn't wearing her necklace." Yukino commented as she noticed Lucy's bare neck.

Minerva shifted her gaze towards Lucy's neck. She knew she felt something was missing from the blonde. So it was the necklace!

"Necklace?" Lucy questioned as she placed her hand on her neck. Nothing was there. Her eyes widen from sudden realization. Her necklace was gone. Did she lose it somewhere? Maybe it fell in town? The Stellar mage ran towards the door, she was about to grab the doorknob when a hand stopped her. She looked up at the owner of the hand, it was Minerva. The purple-mage shook her head. It was already late, retracing her steps could take all night. Everyone needed to rest.

"But it was a gift from all of you. I have to find it." Lucy looked at her with pleading eyes. Minerva shook her head and smiled.

"It's okay. Let's buy a new one when the Grand Magic Games finishes. We'll get matching pairs for everyone. Sounds good?" The purple-haired mage replied. The blonde sadly nodded as they proceeded to where the others were eating.

Lucy soaked herself in the tub as she remembered every moment that had happened this day. She got a dress and a necklace from her teammates. She remembered thanking a person with whom the exceeds were conversing. She sadly didn't see the person's face due to the freakishly huge hat that obstructed her eyesight from everyone. She smiled when she remembered how the exceeds kept talking about their new friend.

Too preoccupied with her thoughts, she didn't notice the commotion that was happening outside the bathroom.

A massive Sky Labyrinth had appeared in the sky, and it was enormous. Everyone was perplexed as they stared at the thing. What was its purpose? Bright lights turned on and a projection of a pumpkin mascot attracted everyone's attention.

The pumpkin wore a striped red and white shirt with a dark green cape. He also wore a pair of black trousers, navy blue boots, white gloves, and a green wizard's hat. He introduced himself as Mato. He explained to everyone that only the first 8 guilds who complete the Labyrinth can officially participate in the Grand Magic Games tomorrow. He then started to tell everyone about the rules and mechanics of the Preliminary Event.

After explaining everything, he was ready to start the event. The sudden realization had hit the Sabertooth mages! This is bad!

"Ready? In 5…" Mato slowly started counting backward.

"Sting! Rogue! Rufus!" Minerva shouted out as she jolted towards the bathroom. The three mages knew what this meant, they had exactly a couple of seconds to get everything ready for her.

"4…"

The Light Dragon Slayer dashed to the closet and took a black cloak. Lucy's keys and whip were snatched from the table by the Memory-Make mage. And the Shadow Dragon Slayer had rummaged through the blonde-haired mage's bag and taken the closest thing he could find, the Celestial mage's bikini, the same bikini she wore on Mt. Hakobe.

"3…"

*BANG*

Lucy jolted up from surprise! She shifted her gaze towards the source of sound and saw Minerva holding a towel in her hands standing on top of a broken door that was now on the floor. She was confused at the purple-haired mage's action, what was happening? Before she could even ask, Minerva abruptly wrapped her in a towel and carried her like a sack of potatoes heading out of the bathroom.

"2…"

Minerva arrived with a toweled-up Lucy in her hands, the guys blushed at the sight of the Celestial mage. The moment the dango-haired mage snatched the bikini from Rogue's hand, every male had turned their backs at the scene. Yukino and Minerva immediately stripped Lucy out of her towel and quickly changed her into her bikini.

"1…"

"GO!" Minerva and the pumpkin shouted simultaneously.

As soon as everyone heard their purple-haired teammate yell, they had sprinted into action heading towards the Sky Labyrinth. Sting had immediately carried the confused Lucy in his arms, the moment the signal was declared.

"Good luck everyone!"Orga, Yukino, and the exceeds cheered as they watch their teammates step on the platform heading towards the huge Labyrinth.

The Light Dragon Slayer ran beside Rogue, Rufus, and Minerva. Everyone laughed as they saw Lucy tighten her grip around Sting's neck. The Stellar mage's expression indicated that she was completely perplexed by what was going on right now. Everything was in disarray. Mages from different guilds were fighting each other, some ran for their lives, while some were thrown out of the Labyrinth.

Within seconds, they had reached the inside of the Labyrinth and Sting placed the blonde Stellar mage down on the ground. Eventually, Minerva explained everything to Lucy about the Preliminary Events.

Rufus, Minerva and Lucy followed the two Dragon Slayers as they lead them to the finish line. Sting and Rogue somehow managed to acquire the Pumpkin's scent and was now heading towards it. Every step they take, the scent grew stronger and stronger.

"Do I really have to wear this cloak?" Lucy whined at her teammates. She peeked from the hood of her cloak and saw her teammates nod at her pitifully. She pouted at them and let out a small 'hmmph.

Master Jiemma clearly instructed that the Stellar mage shall not reveal her face until the end of the Games, much to Lucy's disappointment. The Celestial mage definitely understood Master Jiemma's reasoning. She knew that the master and her teammates would have less time to spend with her if the fairies knew that she was participating as a member of Sabertooth for the Grand Magic Games. How clingy of them. Well, she was gone for 7 years. She can't blame them for missing her too much.

Lucy chuckled at her thoughts. Man, she really loved both Fairies and Sabers. Her grin widened as she saw the finish line.

"Here are the results for the Preliminary Rounds Kabo~!" Mato announced as cheers from thousands of people were heard everywhere.

"At the last place! We have Fairy Tail!" He first started. Both cheers and boos were heard from the crowd as Natsu, Gray, Erza, Elfman, and Wendy entered the arena.

"At 7th place! Quatro Cerberus!" he continued.

"6th place! Mermaid Heel!"

"5th place! Blue Pegasus!"

"4th place! Lamia Scale!"

"3rd place! Raven Tail!"

"At 2nd! What a surprise! Fairy Tail B Team!" Mato said with a smile. Everyone was so confused as why there was a B team. The pumpkin then explained that guilds were allowed to enter two teams this year, that was the reason why there were so many participants, and that they had to arrange a preliminary round.

"Lastly! In the first place, we have Sabertooth yet again!" The pumpkin announced as the Sabertooth participants made their way to the arena. Everyone was smiling as the crowds cheered from all around.

"Yaay! Sting-kun!" Lector shouted from the crowds. The exceeds together with Yukino and Orga were sitting with Master Jiemma and the rest of Sabertooth. They were cheering them on and was really hyped that they received first place yet again.

Mavis smiled as she noticed that a certain hooded Stellar mage had become a participant in the games. All Sabertooth members were hugging the certain mage from happiness. She was obviously loved by the Sabers. Makarov had followed the first's gaze after noticing her smile. He looked around at the scene, puzzled as to why she was smiling at the Sabertooth mages. Wait, Sabertooth? Could it be? He looked at the first master with hope in his eyes.

"Yes. It's her." Mavis said figuring out Makarov's inner thoughts. Makarov smiled, he was happy that she was having fun, that she was safe. Any parent would be glad to see their child happy.

A certain white-haired mage from Lamia Scale had been searching through the crowds for a certain blonde-haired mage. He had ignored everyone ever since they had entered the arena, he was so busy searching for the Sabertooth girl that his eyes never noticed a certain water mage that was fawning over the so-called 'Gray-sama'. As his eyes searched for the girl, his gaze landed at the two exceeds who were cheering for the Sabertooth mages. She wasn't with them. He smiled at the sight of the two cats as he and everyone returned to their guilds' assigned stations.

The five happily returned to the Sabertooth station as they watch Jiemma happily nod in satisfaction. The master was happy that they were number 1, but it really didn't matter anymore because Lucy was already reunited with them. He smiled as he watched Yukino, Orga and the two exceeds hug the five participants and happily chatted with them.

As everyone broke from the hug, Lucy excused herself from everyone. Before anyone could even ask, she and two certain exceeds were already gone.

"Where is she going?" Minerva said annoyed as she together with everyone watched the blonde's retreating figure. Obviously, the purple-haired mage didn't want her to wander around who knows where.

"Let her be." Jiemma chuckled earning him a pout from her cute dango-haired daughter.

"Ne.. Lushi~ Are you sure everyone will like this?" The red exceed asked as he carried two plastic bags in his hands. Lucy smiled at the red exceed. The two cats had accompanied her in buying refreshments and snacks for everyone in the guild. The Stellar mage was really happy for everyone's support and wanted to thank them by buying snacks. All three smiled as they headed back to their station.

The two exceeds had already reached their stations with the bags in their hands while Lucy was still so far away from them. The Celestial mage certainly lagged behind due to the fact that she was carrying three heavy plastic bags in each of her hands, trying her best not to damage the delicate plastic bags.

Lucy's cloak dangled behind her back revealing her white bikini with pink floral patterns. Her hands were occupied with six heavy bags that swayed back and forth with each step she took. She came to a halt when she felt the bags about to rip. The Stellar mage sighed and set the bags down on the ground.

"Onee-san. Would you like some help?" Lucy turned around at the sound and saw the pink-haired girl from Lamia Scale. Before the Stellar mage could even reply, the Sky God Slayer had already picked up two of the bags on the ground and supported its base knowing that the bags were about to rip.

"There you are Sherria! I've been looking everywhere for you." A familiar voice ringed through Lucy's ear.

"Lyon-sama! Great timing. Let's help Saber nee-san! The bags are about rip." Sherria happily said to Lyon. The Ice mage's ears perked up the mention of Sabertooth. Was it destiny? He quickly picked up the two bags and followed Sherria closely behind. He clearly remembered the events from yesterday, he wanted to see her. There was something about her that was beyond amazing. Without even realizing it, a grin had formed from his lips.

Lucy smiled at Sherria and Lyon as they headed to Sabertooth's station.

As soon as the three mages arrived with the bags, everyone started thanking her.

"Lu! Thanks so much for the snacks."
"Lu! You don't know how much this means."
"You're too kind."

Lyon and Sherria looked at each other when they heard the hooded mage's kindness towards her guildmates. They were astounded by how much she adored her guild, and how much everyone adored her in return. When they saw the girl being surrounded by hugs from everyone, they dropped the bags on the bench and began walking away. Lyon took one last look around and noticed two happy exceeds waving at him. He returned the smile and began walking back.

The two Lamia Scale members were about to walk away when they were stopped by a pair of hands. It was the Saber girl they had helped. She stepped forward and stood in front of the Sky God Slayer. Lyon saw the hooded Saber thanking Sherria and giving her a bottle of soda and some snacks.

"Thank you Lu-nee!" Sherria chirped as she hugged the mage. The blonde mage patted Sherria's head in return.

Lu-nee, as Sherria would call her, approached the Ice mage and held out her hand. Lyon's eyes widen in shock at the sight of her hand. He saw the White Sabertooth guild mark located at the back of her right hand. He found her, it was really her.

The Ice mage's hand trembled as he accepted the bottle of soda and snack from her. He wanted to see her face, to hug her, to tell him who she was. He wanted to scream at her for making him feel this way about her! But not a single word came out, he just stared at her hoping to catch a glimpse of her face.

"Thank you for helping me Lyon-san." The celestial mage said. He couldn't see her whole face because of the cloak she was wearing, but he saw her lips turn into a smile. That smile again. Why did his heart beat faster after hearing her say his name?

Lyon reached for the necklace in his pocket, he had kept the necklace just in case he met her again. It was definitely fate! There she was in front of him. It was his chance. But before he could even pull out the necklace; Sherria had already said goodbye to the blonde, and dragged him with her.

"Wait Sherria!" Lyon said with a panicked voice as he was being dragged back to their stations. He saw the hooded Saber wave goodbye to them.

"Lu-nee became prettier Lyon-sama." Sherria smiled happily while she dragged the Ice mage with her. Apparently, due to the Sky God's Slayer's height, she saw the mage's face very clearly from under the hood. Lucy didn't really mind, in fact, she was happy that someone other than Sabertooth had seen her face.

Lyon sighed in defeat. Sherria's so lucky to have seen her face. But wait- did she say she became prettier? Did Shierra knew her before? He was going to ask her about this later. I guess returning the necklace will just have to wait.

After those events, the First day of the Grand Magic Games has officially started!

-Chapter 4 Fin-

Omake:

Minerva arrived with a toweled-up Lucy in her hands and immediately snatched the bikini from Rogue's hand. Yukino and Minerva immediately stripped Lucy out of her towel and quickly changed her into her bikini.

"1…"

Everybody was frozen at the scene. They didn't have enough time to turn around, Minerva and Yukino were too fast. Blood had rushed out of everybody's noses as they watch the naked Lucy blush from embarrassment.

"Min-chan! You idiot!" Lucy shouted and whacked Minerva in the head.

"GO!" Mato shouted excitedly while the Sabertooth participants watched the dango-haired mage lay on the ground with a huge bump in her head. Poor Min-chan.

-Omake Fin-

A/N: We had a full load of requirements and it was exam week, so I didn't get to update. In the original series, Lyon first met Juvia in the GMG games and claimed that it was love at first sight. But in my version, he never noticed her because he was too busy searching for the mage who owns the necklace. Tell me what pairing you want to see next! See you in the next chapter!
