So sorry that I didn't update for so long, I moved to live with my dad. I'm such a bad author, I know, but here's the next chapter at least.
Lucy POV
"Lucy, I don't want you."
"We lie because you're so naïve."
"No one wants you around, you're not worth our time."
"Just leave and never come back!"
"Argh!" With a cry, I jolted bolt upright from bed, the voices of Fairy Tail members still echoing around in my head. What a bad dream. No, that was a nightmare. Even though all it had involved was people telling me mean stuff, it had filled me with such sorrow. To anyone else, that dream would have seemed normal, if a bit weird, but to me, it was like someone was slowly squeezing my heart. In an attempt to console myself, I told myself it wasn't true. They had cared about me. I didn't feel better.

Drifting out my room, I spotted Rogue. He looked really, clean and fresh. Damn. I suddenly realized how dirty I was. I hadn't had a shower in forever. Approaching him, I hesitantly asked where the shower was. After getting directions, I went and stripped down. Stepping into the shower, I shuddered as the cold water hit my skin, but nevertheless proceeded to scrub myself. It was only when I stepped out of the shower, feeling refreshed, that I realized I had no clean change of clothes. Crap. I didn't really want to go outside with just the towel, as it barely covered me up at all.

Deciding to go to stealth mode, I picked up my dirty clothes and crept into my room. Dumping them on the floor, I exited my room, feeling like a ninja. I peeked into the room next to mine. Seeing some drawers, I crept over to them, continually throwing glances over my shoulder. Opening them, I spotted a huge T-shirt. Pulling it out of the draw, I slipped it over my head and let the towel drop. The T-shirt came to about mid-thigh. "What are you doing in my room?" For a heart-stopping moment, I thought Rogue had spoken. Whipping around, I relaxed when I saw Sting. I don't know why, but he seemed much better to face in a Crap-I'm-Caught sort of situation as opposed `to the other stoic mage.
"Um, I didn't have any clothes." I mentally face-palmed at my stupidity. I'd acted without thinking, how stupid of me. He held up a shopping bag I hadn't noticed before and I rushed towards it, hurriedly thanking him then moving to my own room.

"Oi, Lucy-chan, I've gotta tell you about the Grand Magic Tournament. I forgot to last night." Chewing my food, I turned to him questioningly. It was about 2pm, of my first day staying with Rogue and Sting. After I'd gotten dressed, he'd presented some food he'd bought while getting my clothes and I took it gratefully. "It's well, a tournament." I sweat-dropped at the lack of information. "And um, guilds enter teams. You can enter two teams. You wouldn't have heard of it, since you've only been a mage for eight months, but it is taking place in three months. You have to do a series of different obstacles and depending on how well you do you are ranked. Usually, the top two are either Fairy Tail or Sabertooth. This is why we view each other as rivals. If you improve enough, the master might even let you enter. It's pretty competitive." I chewed on this information. Would I be able to compete against Fairy Tail? Deciding I would, I made the choice to become as string as possible. This was going to be fun.

"Gate of the lion, I open thee, Leo!" Loke appeared. After greeting him, I `got down to business. "Loke, I have to become stronger. No matter what. Please help me, I really need this. As strong as I can in three months." He studied me for a moment, then replied.
"Well, there is another magic that Celestial Spirit Mages can use. It's strange, because only Celestial Spirit Mages can use it, even though it isn't Spirit-Related. This is more "Celestial" stuff." My eyes widened was there really such a magic? "Y-yes! Please! Can you teach me? That would be great!" Loke's eyes softened and he smiled.
"Anything for you, Princess." He mock bowed giggling, I hugged him.
"When can we start?"
"Right now if you'd like."

"There are many different types of Celestial magic-that's what it's called. The first is black hole type. Like the name suggests, this mimics black holes. What you can do with this is actually manipulate space. For example, if someone was about to punch you, you could make two 'black holes'. One in front of you, directly in the punch's path, and one right in front of their face. What would happen here is that the punch would go through the first black hole and come out of the second, so that your opponent would end up punching themselves in the face. Size can vary, depending on how big you want to make. But this magic has its risks. For one, you have to be able to do it quickly. Also, it uses a tremendous amount of Magical energy unless you're well-trained. Also, if you don't do it properly, it could explode or something." My eyes widened again. Wow. "Also, you probably won't be able to master more than one type of Celestial magic before the three months are up, if you're able to master this at all." Taking a breath, I steeled myself. I could do this. I had to. To prove that I was as good as Fairy Tail.
"What are the first steps?" He grinned.
"Making a black hole is a good place to start. You have to concentrate extremely hard. You are altering space. Be strong. Let nothing get in the way of your training. Now, imagine a hole, pitch black and the size of your finger tip. Grasp the magic you feel and pull it forth. Control it. Stretch it into a hole." I concentrated. Hard. Harder than I've ever concentrated on anything. I tried to visualise this small seed of magic, but I felt nothing. Frowning, I tried again. The faintest flicker, like the light brushing of a spider web appeared, but I couldn't grab it. I barely knew if it was there or if I was imagining it. Sighing, I tried again. I had to get it.
Yay! Finished! Now, important note. The Tenrou incident never occurred(No one disappeared for seven years). Also, what is a cannon? I think it is following the story-line, but can someone please confirm it for me? And do you want me to talk about all of the training Lucy does(the whole three months) or should I fast forward it a bit?
