Hi everyone! Look, I'm updating :3 Was anyone else heartbroken when Fairy Tail wasn't updated this week? I was like, ='''''(I time skipped one week so don't get confused Enjoy~

Lucy POV

Nervousness bubbled up inside of me. It was the first day of the grand magic games, and I didn't know how I would cope. I felt like I had gotten stronger, but I hadn't really tested my abilities in an actual fight. I'd sparred against Loke Sting and even Rogue, but it wasn't the same.

xXx

The teams gathered. The preliminaries were about to take place and a…pumpkin head was explaining the rules. Why? What was with his head? Deciding to ignore his…unusual appearance, I listened intently. It appeared that we were supposed to find a way through a spinning labyrinth. The first eight teams to make it would advance, whilst the other teams would be out. I frowned. How were we supposed to do that?

xXx

We ran into the labyrinth. "How do we find our way?" I looked at the others. Then I glanced at Rufus. He was quite an enigmatic man, with a mask on his face. In spite of the fact that he had long hair and left it down, he didn't seem girly, more…refined somehow. I knew that his magic was to do with memories, and this included memorizing things.

"Yo, Rufus, can you memorize the way?" I glanced at Sting, then back at Rufus.

"Judging from what I saw on the outside, I already know the way." My jaw dropped. Was this guy seriously that powerful? Wow.

"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up." That was Orga, a huge man. Now don't get me wrong when I say huge; he was all muscle and no fat. My stomach fluttered at the thought of how easily Rufus had been able to find the way. Would I be able to keep up with these guys? I decided I had to. "Wait, I need to speak to Lucy-san."

"Me?" Why? I wonder.

"How well have you mastered your ability? Do you think you could make a black hole to get us there if I guided you?" I stared at him. Could I? That was asking a lot. I'd tried stuff like that before, and it had worked, but it had completely drained me.

"Um… I might. I'm not really sure to be honest." He pointed in a random direction.

"There. About one hundred metres in that direction. Do you think you could handle it?" Nervously, I gulped. I had to do this. This would prove to my team that I was strong enough to be their comrade, but if I could pull this off, it would give me a bit of confidence. Taking a deep breath, I nodded.

"I'll try." He pointed in the precise location and I tried to visualise two black holes, one here and one a hundred metres in that direction. I sensed the first one appear in front of me, and as Sting was about to step through it I stopped him. I still hadn't made the second one strong enough. I was sweating, but after a few seconds, I nodded my head in confirmation. They were both up. Breathing raggedly, I stepped through my black hole. As soon as I felt Orga (the last to come, or rather, strut through the black hole) appear, I let the black hole blink out of existence. I was too tired to do anything, but after I regained my breath, I looked up. There was a sign right there. The word on the door read 'Goal'. Sting slapped me on the back.

"Nice Lucy, you did it!" I managed a weak smile but was too drained to do anything else. I'd done it! I'd made a human sized black hole a hundred metres away! The others were already running towards it. I tried to follow as fast as I could but I stumbled. Noticing this, Sting scooped me up and carried me to the door, which was about ten metres away. We burst through it, and pumpkin head was there.

"Congratulations! You, Sabertooth are the first team to make it! And in a whopping time of only 2:46 minutes! Amazing!" I blinked. That has been quite quick. Rufus had told me how to get there, I'd made the black holes and we'd appeared in front of the door and come through. Wow. Rufus and Rogue kept cool expressions, Orga just smirked and me and Sting grinned, though mine was much wider. We'd done it! And I'd been a big help. I wasn't useless and I didn't get left behind (well, I kind of did but Sting had picked me up and that wasn't the point).

xXx

I was sitting next to Sting and Rogue. It had been about twenty minutes, and everyone was still waiting for the last team to arrive. Finally, I heard the doors crash open. I looked up to see a pink-haired boy rush through the doors. "Haha, I bet we're the first team to make it, right Pumpkin-san?" I sweat-dropped at his ignorance. Mr Pumpkin replied.

"Nope, you guys just barely made eighth place." His expression was comical. It was a mask of exagerated depression. I tried, but couldn't supress a giggle. He glanced at me and then did a double-take.

"L-Lu-chan?" I frowned. Then I noticed his crest. He was part of Fairy Tail. Strange, I didn't remember him. The first team of Fairy Tail I had promptly ignored, even though they kept shooting glances my way.

"Who are you?" My voice came out harsher than I'd meant it to, but it was ok I guess. After all, this gut was a part of Fairy Tail. Before I knew what was happening, he'd rushed up to me and pulled me into a tight embrace. "W-what are you doing? Get off!" I felt his arms disappear and glanced at Rogue and Sting appreciatively. They'd pulled him off of me and shoved him, so that he'd fallen sprawled out on the ground.

"What are you doing? Luce, it's me, Natsu! And why are you with Sabertooth, they're a bunch of idiots!" My eyes narrowed. No one called my family idiots. Even if they were from my former guild. By now, everyone had fallen silent and was staring at the two of us. This boy, he was getting on my nerves.

Natsu POV

I stared up at Lucy in shock. When I'd called Sabertooth idiots, her expression had changed from confusion to anger. Why? Why wasn't she happy to see me? I know I hurt her bad, but she didn't eve acknowledge my presence, it was as if she didn't know me! This saddened me. My heart ached. I regretted spending that night with Lisanna so much. Lisanna was a nice girl and great mage, but it was Lucy that I loved. I'd spent many nights crying myself to sleep, unable to stop the tears that assaulted my eyes when I thought of my beloved Celestial mage. "Lu-chan? What's wrong?" I wasn't just referring to her angry expression; I was also talking about why she was acting how she was to me, like she didn't love me, like she didn't like me, like she didn't know me. I loved her so much, and the way she was acting now was making my heart throb with emotion. Why? Lucy, why are you acting like this?

Ooooh, and the person that Lucy forgot is revealed! The story won't be word for word compared to the manga, because I have a limited time on the computer and I don't have timeto re-read it. Hope you're enjoying it, don't forget to fave and review!
