~PLEASE READ NOTE AT THE END OF CHAPTER~

Back at Fairy Tail~ (No one's POV)

Fairy Tail has changed drastically due to Lucy's leave. Everyone turned somewhat opposites of what they originally are.

Gray wasn't stripping unconsciously.

Erza didn't want to even look at her strawberry cake.

Mirajane didn't match make.

Cana stopped drinking.

Levy stopped reading as much as before, saying that it would remind her of Lucy.

Lisanna felt guilty of the whole thing.

Happy stopped rolling his tongue and was the opposite of what he was named for. He wasn't happy at all. He was sad and depressed and rarely visited the guild.

And Natsu was the absolute worst. He stopped picking fights with Gray and he knew it was his entire fault that Lucy left the guild, her family, that she loved so much. Lisanna would try to cheer him up, but to no avail. He was depressed and would sit at the table near the very end corner of the guild.

The master could not handle the depressing aura emitting from the guildhalls. What happened to the happy-go-lucky guild he once knew?

Lucy's disappearance is what happened.

He couldn't handle it anymore, he had to do something. And with the Grand Magic Games coming up in a matter of weeks, the state of the guild was a no-go.

He got up from his seat and walked out the door.

He stood at the balcony, (I think that's what its called, ya' know, the platform with a railing that overlooks the first floor? Nevermind.) Ready to make an announcement.

"Alright you brats!" He started. The guild members raised they're heads to look at their master. "With the GMG just weeks away, I have decided on this year's team. This year will only have one team since there is a new rule." The guild master glanced around the guild, making sure everyone was listening before continuing. "Natsu Dragneel, Lisanna Strauss, Erza Scarlet, Gray Fullbuster, Wendy Marvell, and Elfman Strauss as substitute." Everyone, now pumped up for the games, congratulated the participating members.

Back to Sabertooth! (Lucy's POV)

"Listen up you ungrateful brats, Frost and Minerva." Master Jiemma started. "The GMG team is decided and here are the members: Sting, Rogue, Rufus, Minerva and Frost and Yukino as reserve." As he finished his little speech, he turned and walked back to his office.

"Well, shit." I said as realization hit me.

"What's up?" Sting asked me.

I scratched the back of my head and smiled sheepishly replying, "I don't have any money and I don't have place to stay."

At this moment, Rogue walked up to us and raised a questioning eyebrow.

"You could stay with us?" Rogue said. Well, more like asked. I thought about it for a while.

Well? What about it? Fang looked up at me. His tail swishing from left to right in boredom. I pursed my lips together in thought. If I stayed with them, it would be free since they did own the house.

I smiled a sincere smile and replied, "Sure, that would be great! Like old times. Except, I expect more personal space this time!"

Rogue's POV

I could feel my cheeks heat up a bit at seeing Lucy's genuine, beautiful smile. It has been so long since I last seen that smile. She was really happy, not faking to not let others worry, but really seriously happy.

"Then let's head there now to put your stuff." Sting suggested.

And with that, we headed out the guild doors and made our way through the streets.

"Hey guys, what's GMG?" Lucy suddenly asks us.

"Hmm? GMG? Oh, that's right you were in the time skip, weren't you? (A/N in chapter 1 I said that Sting and Rogue were the same age as Lucy, but just forget that and pretend that they were 7 years younger than her, okay? Okay.) Well, the GMG, or Grand Magic Games, were made up to find the top guilds in Fiore. You compete in a series of events, which if your guild wins will earn points. The guild with the most points at the end of the games will be entitled as "The strongest guild in Fiore"." Sting answers.

"Master said something about it being a few months away. If that's true, are we supposed to be training?" Lucy asked.

"Yep. In a few days time. We always start training 3 months before the games actually start."

I heard Lucy groan in annoyance. "But I'm perfectly fine without training."

"Well, it's a must. Master's orders."

She sighed before complying. "Fine…" she seemed to have drifted into deep thought as she stared into nothingness. She then whispered something I couldn't hear even though I was a dragon slayer.

Normal POV

"Fairy Tail, get ready to meet the other Lucy. The one you never got to meet."

OMG I got so many reviews… TT^TT I'm sooo sorry for such a long time. AND the short chapter! I have supplementary classes after school on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. And I also have tuition for 3 hours on Monday, meaning I only get free afternoon on Wednesday. I can't type on the weekends since my brother is an ass and comes back from his boarding school and won't let me even touch the computer.

What's more, I have a butt-load of homework err' day and PSLE is coming up. EXAMS ARE ON TOMORROW! TT^TT I DON'T WANNA! It's the prelims tomorrow and I might fail! Anyway, ON WITH THE REPLIES:
