Hello, hello. Hi, hi. I'm not going to go into much detail for most of the tournament. I want it to go quickly so we can get more into the juicy bits!

Just so you know, I don't ship Erza and Gray or Lyon and Juvia. It just felt more natural to pair them up that way. The only couple I really care about is NaLu. But I tried putting in little plugs for everyone out there.

Also, I apologize for the sloppiness of my writing. I will be editing and updating the chapters as this story goes along. Hopefully, I can get my laptop back up and running!

Thank you km28ave for reviewing!

Erza and Gray pulled off a win against Lisanna and Mira after a longer than expected struggle. Droy and jet were easily and embarrassingly defeated by Juvia and Lyon. Levi and Gajeel secured a narrow win -mostly due to Gajeel's iron grip on Levi (haha, get it?)- against Evergreen and Elfman, Elfman being punished sternly by Evergreen afterwards. And Lucy and Natsu were victorious in their match against Bisca and Alzack, even though their teamwork was amazing, it still couldn't beat out fairy tail's most compatible team. There was a short break before the semi finals could begin, which Natsu used to go boast and argue with Gray on who was going to win while all the others were congratulating each other on a good match.

The semi-finals would pit Erza and Gray against Juvia and Lyon and Lucy and Natsu against Levi and Gajeel. The first match was about ready to begin and you could feel the tension and electricity in the air as soon as the Lyon and Gray were face to face with each other, making Juvia totally lost in Gray-sama world. 'Juvia wants gray-sama to win...' Were her thoughts as the match officially started, making the battle closer to a forfeit, with Erza easily taking the win. Gray and Lyon went straight to bickering. It was Lucy and Natsu's turn to face Levi and Gajeel now as they got back into the water, Lucy re-mounting her partner as he and Gajeel threw various insults and promises at each other. Lucy silently apologized to Levi before they heard the horn sound signaling them to start. The girls were pretty evenly matched, so it would be mostly up to the guys to keep them from falling. A few minutes passed when Levi suddenly Sneezed, releasing her hands from Lucy's and wobbling around making Gajeel step back a bit to keep her from falling backwards, unfortunately landing his foot on a crab. He yanked his leg forward along with his body, Levi being yanked along with him. She attempted tried to take hold of Lucy's hand to keep from falling forward, but she missed! Reaching blindly for anything else, she grabbed the side of Lucy's bathing suit top, slipping it off as both her and Gajeel fell into the water. Lucy screeched, covering herself and the men of Fairy tail looked on with hearts in their eyes. "Lu-chan, I'm sorry!" Levi came back up, but as Lucy and Levi noticed the top was no longer in her hand. Levi laughed, a bit embarrassed that she lost her friends top, as Lucy only screamed some more. Natsu, of course was totally ignorant of what had taken place, simply laughing as he claimed victory over Gajeel. So Lucy smacked him on the head, making him look up at her "don't look up you idiot!" she smacked him again. "Let me down!" She struggled against Natsu's grip on her legs successfully freeing herself and splashing into the water. She came back up and hit Natsu for a third time "Help me look!" She commanded. Natsu was confused "Why'd you take off your top?" "I didn't!" Levi and Gajeel snuck away. "It was pulled off, now look!" She shoved his head into the water before going off to look in another spot. "Here you go, Lucy!" Natsu came back with a piece of seaweed and a bright smile. "That's seaweed!" She angrily snatched it from his hand and hit him with it. They searched all throughout the break, enlisting friends for help, but to no avail.

"Lucy lets go! The final match is starting, we have to beat that stupid Icicle!"

"There is no way I'm doing anything until I find my top!"

"We're gonna forfeit if we don't go, now!"

"I don't care!"

Natsu ran to shore and grabbed his T-shirt out of his bag and ran back, "here, wear this!" He through the shirt at Lucy. She stared at it with squinted eyes before looking back at Natsu. "... It's white." She said with a hard voice. "Yeah, so?" "It's see-through when wet, idiot!" "We don't have time for that!" He dived under the water and came under Lucy, holding onto her legs as he raced over to Erza and Gray. When they got there, Lucy let out a huff as she quickly wrapped his shirt the long way and tied it around her bust so you couldn't see through it, knot in front. Natsu and Gray glared at each other and Lucy gulped audibly in fear as she looked at Erza.

Lucy would've probably bean easily defeated by Erza in the first minute were it not for Natsu keeping her up. It was intense and pretty serious, until... "Ouch- HEY! You just stepped on my foot!" Gray accused Natsu. "Did not! You probably stepped on your own foot!" Natsu shouted back. "I'm not as stupid as you, flame-brain!"

"Ice-perv!"

"DUMBASS!"

"BASTARD!"

suddenly, Erza and Lucy were squished against each other as Natsu and Gray were forehead to forehead, shooting different expletives and insults, the chicken fight forgotten. It was on now. They both dropped their team mates and starting flailing about, throwing punches that soon escalated into magic, the ocean going from frozen over, to boiling hot. Erza requiped her swords, and aimed them at the pair, when other mages rushed in to join the fight, angry at the ice and fire mage for ruining their good time. And chaos ensued. Lucy escaped the constantly changing ocean and stood wearily at the shore, a large sweat drop over her head 'I knew this would happen...'
