Hi guys! Thanks so much for all of your reviews! They made me so happy=D All of your guys' supportive comments make me so happy, and thanks, if there is a sequel it probably will be about Sting and Lucy.

Lucy POV

I yawned widely and rubbed my eyes. I was a little tired, because of last night, when Sting had taken me to his 'special place'. I grinned at the memory, happiness blooming in me. "Have a late night with Sting, neh, Lucy-chan?" I heard a chirpy voice. I turned and smiled lazily at Sammy. Her orange hair seemed particularly bright this morning.

"Yeah." I replied without thinking. A brief look of surprise crossed Sammy's face, and then she grinned impishly.

"Oh?" My eyes widened as I finally realized what she thought had happened and I blushed profusely.

"N-no! I didn't- we didn't- um, nothing!" embarrassment was creeping through my body, and I was desperate to try and tell her I, well, that I hadn't slept with Sting, but my mouth didn't seem to want to co-operate.

"Don't worry Lu-chan, you don't have to hide it. It's nothing to be ashamed of." I could hear a teasing lilt in her voice, and her grin widened even more, if possible.

"N-no! Sammy! That's not-! I-I'm a virgin!" This time she doubled over in laughter and I covered my mouth in horror. Had I really just yelled that out-loud? I wanted to sink into the ground. I felt a pair of hands snake around my waist and a familiar warmth pressed itself into my back.

"That's very good to know." I heard Sting murmur in my ear. He'd heard. Great. I could feel the red creeping down my neck. Sammy had finally managed to get her laughter under control, and I looked at her helplessly. She managed to hold my eye for a second before bursting out laughing again. Some help she was. I struggled out of Sting's arms and turned to face him, though I was too embarrassed to look him in the eye. I opened my mouth to speak, but just before I did, a loud voice boomed through the air.

"Ladies and Gentleman, boys and girls, welcome to the fourth day of the Grand Magic Games!" A loud cacophony of stamping and cheering followed, and I turned to look at the crowd that had gathered today, who were eagerly yelling out. "Ok! Well, today, for the first event, we will be having some battles! There's a twist though: they will be tag-team battles!" Another ring of cheers and shouts followed.

"They are just like regular battles, but both people from a guild have to be defeated for the opposing guild to win. And, the first contestants are from Fairy Tail! Mister Natsu Dragneel and Gajeel Redfox! Fighting against them will be...Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney from Sabertooth!"

xXx

I felt Sting's warmth on my back disappear and I looked at him. Grinning widely, I pulled him into a hug. Withdrawing, I smiled.

"Good luck! I know you can win! Do your best Sting!" He smirked then turned and walked into the arena. Rogue passed me and I grinned at him too.

"Good luck Rogue-kun!" He nodded.

"Thank you." I skipped over to the exceeds and frowned. Lector looked...really anxious. I knocked him on the shoulder lightly and smiled.

"Hey, don't look so anxious. Sting and Rogue are really strong. There's no way they'll lose, right Fro?" Fro blinked up at me then nodded enthusiastically.

"B-but Lucy-chan. You don't know who they are. Those two are Gajeel...and Salamander."

"Salamander?"

"Yeah. Sting has a score to settle with him." Though he was talking to me, Lector's eyes never left Sting's figure. Seeing that his anxiety hadn't eased, I decided not to push him.

xXx

Sammy skipped over. "Come on Lu-chan, let's cheer louder than anyone!" I glance at Lector, who's eyes still hadn't left Sting, and then nodded.

"Yeah. Wooh! Go Sting! You can do it!" Sammy joined in. Just then, a gong sounded for the battle to start. I watched as the two teams stared at each other calculatingly. "Yay! Go N-" Natsu. I'd been about to say Natsu. I paused, and Sammy glanced at me questioningly, then shrugged her shoulders and continued cheering. What? Why had I been about to say Natsu? I stared at the pinkette in question as he launched into multiple attacks against Sting. He seemed to be overpowering him. A flurry of emotions blurred through me. Pain. Hurt. Sadness. Love. Wait, love? I didn't love him. I knew I didn't. I barely knew the guy. And yet...he seemed so familiar. Why?

xXx

"I love you, Luce. I'll love you and protect you forever." "I love you too, Natsu. Forever and always." My eyes widened and I clenched my fists tightly. "Luce! Let's go on a mission together!" "Okay!" Where were these coming from? "Natsu?! What are you doing in my apartment?!" "Sorry Luce, I just wanted to see you tonight. Can I stay over?" "Fine...but you get the couch!" "I know! I wouldn't try anything anyway!" "Whatever!" "I wouldn't, Luce, I love you too much." My breathing was coming hard now, but I barely noticed. Why? What's going on? I...know him? How? And then it hit me like a ton of bricks, and my legs almost gave out.

xXx

I remembered my training before the Grand Magic Games. I remembered the Spirit King, and how he'd said that he'd erase one person from my memory. And, for some reason, I now remembered Natsu. "Lu-chan?! What's wrong?!" I was pulled from my reverie abruptly, and my head snapped to the side to face Sammy. She was looking at me worriedly.

"S-Sammy." My voice was barely above a whisper. "I-" I cut off as a huge explosion came from the arena. I watched the lacrima-screen as the dust cleared, and my mouth dropped in shock. "N-no way." Natsu was standing there, while Sting and Rogue lay on the ground, defeated. Sting had been...defeated? Hearing sobbing, I looked at the exceeds. Lector was crying.

"I'm sorry, Sting. I'm sorry." Fro just looked shell-shocked, much like how I felt. I drew a shaky breath and smiled at Sammy.

"I'm fine, really."

"Ok..." She said doubtfully. "Well, I need to go try to calm the guild-members. No doubt they'll be outraged by this loss."

"'Kay, bye."

"Bye." I turned to Lector.

"Hey, Lector, it's ok, alright? It's not your fault. Sting will be ok. He's strong." Though I was meant to be comforting Lector, I felt like I was trying to convince myself more than Lector of my words. Lector sniffed and looked at me.

"You're wrong, Lucy-chan. Sting wanted to beat Salamander to for me. He promised when we first met that he would grow strong for me so he could protect me. He said that, to prove his strength to me, he would defeat Salamander. I already knew he was strong, but he still wanted to do it..." Not knowing how to reply to that, I drew Lector and Fro into my arms and let Lector cry into my shoulder. Fro began to cry as well.

"It's ok." I whispered. "It's ok..." If only I believed that.
