Oh wow, I am so sorry for not updating the past to days everyone! X.X I have been so busy that I didn't get the chance to come on and update my story! :( Thank you for being patient with me, I might be a bit slower on updates because so important things are coming up soon and I need to focus on all the work that is needed with them. :/

Anyways... I am now back with another chapter and I hope you all enjoy!

LD-Blue- Thank you so much for your support! And I am very happy that you like this story! :) Sorry for the wait with this chapter!

alycat63- Hehe, I like playing with Sting a bit. He has matured so much now! :) Anyways, I hope you like this chapter!

jmwilshaw1205- I'm glad that you like the story! I hope you continue to enjoy! :)

wquueu- Once again, I am sorry that you don't like this story. This is just an idea that I decided to expand on. Also, Lucy has shown great advancements in power and development in the Manga, and where she is now, she could become an S-Class Mage. It is true that Natsu and Gray are also deserving of the S-Class title. I do not disagree with that statement.

In any case, I have talked too much. On with the story! I do not own Fairy Tail!

Lucy chuckles at Sting's pouting expression before feeling a slight tug in her chest. Confused, Lucy turns and looks out the window, having the feeling that she was being watched. Seeing nothing, she turns back to the others to see them staring at her in confusion.

"What's the matter Lu-chan?" asks Levy, tilting her head slightly.

"Oh nothing… just thought I sensed something…" trails off Lucy as she looks at the time. "Oh Levy-chan!" she says suddenly, "We should probably head back soon so that we can make a strategy for tomorrow!"

Levy jumps up in surprise, "Oh, yeah we need to go! It's getting late!" Levy pulls Lucy up and starts tugging her out the door. Lucy throws some Jewel onto the table and laughs as she is dragged away.

"Cya round, Sting! Rogue! Looks like we gotta go!"

"Cya Blondie!"

"Bye Lucy-san, Levy-san."

"Bye-bye Fairy-sans!"

The Next Morning...

"Good morning you two!" cheers Mira as she jumps out at Lucy and Levy.

"Mira!" sighs Lucy exasperatedly, "Don't scare me like that!"

Mira chuckles, "Gomen, gomen, but you two are doing so well! After all, it's the last day and all that is left is the battle royale between you four!"

Erza, suddenly appearing behind the three girls, says, "I am expecting a great fight from you two."

Lucy gives a small start and sweat drops.

Erza too…

"We'll do our best!" cheers Levy perkily.

"Yeah, we were up all night trying to make a strategy!" says Lucy quietly with a small grin, "I figured the last day would be some sort of fight."

"You are going up against Natsu and Gajeel," says Erza as she appears to go deep into thought, "But knowing you Lucy; I know you have great strategies. Same to you Levy. So it should be a good fight."

The four girls smile at each other as the turn and head together to the arena where Master Makarov, Natsu, Gajeel, and the other S-Class are waiting.

Looking up into the stands, Lucy sees Sting and Rogue up in the stands once again and gives them a small wave and smile. They wave back and Lucy continues on her way happily.

Natsu looks at her with a small frown, which almost goes unnoticed by her as she turns to look at him.

"Hmm… I wonder what's wrong with Natsu?" She smiles at him brightly, which he soon returns.

Makarov gives a light cough, grabbing the attention of everyone in the arena. "Alright everyone, the time has come to judge the two mages who will pass on to S-Class!"

Mira and Erza walk forward to stand with Laxus and Gildarts behind Makarov as he continues, "Today, we have the final four competitors who will be battling it out in order to pass through! There are no rules, except to be fair and not kill your rivals!"

Natsu's and Gajeel's eyes alight upon hearing of the all-out battle, while Lucy and Levy begin to distance themselves from the two dragon slayers unnoticed. If all went according to their calculations, the two dragon slayers would immediately attempt to attack each other, leaving them out of the fight until later.

Then, when the two were worn-down, they would work together to knock them out. After all, an exhausted dragon slayer is easier to defeat then an energetic one.

"Is everyone ready?!" cheers out Makarov as he pulls a small magic gun out from somewhere.

The entire arena cheers, seemingly shaking the ground as Makarov slowly pulls back on the trigger.

"Begin!"

The shot rings out as both Natsu and Gajeel charge forwards, each using their respective Dragon's Roar. As the two get closer, they envelope their fists in their magic and begin to throw punches and kicks to each other's faces, arms, legs… anything they could hit.

Levy and Lucy grin at each other in the background as they watch the two clash.

So far, so good.

Up in the stands, Rufus chuckles as he looks at the two girls surveying the battle with calculating eyes.

"Those two are quite the clever opponents," he remarks to himself, "I must make note in my memory to not be on the receiving end of one of their plans."

"What are you mumbling about Rufus?" asks Sting.

"Oh nothing, just that those two girls are not people you want to anger."

Back with Lucy and Levy

"Hey Lu-chan," remarks Levy quietly as the two watch the dragon slayers fight it out in front of them.

"Hmm?" hums Lucy in response.

"How long did we estimate again until they realized that we were just watching?" Levy whispers as she dodges a stray Roar.

"Etto… I think it was about another 5 minutes?" wonders Lucy aloud, "So we should probably be on guard since you never know if they might notice sooner."

About 5 minutes later...

Natsu, taking a deep breathe, unleashes his roar once again at Gajeel and smirks when he sees that it made contact. "How's that Iron Freak?" taunts Natsu.

"Don't be getting cocky now!" yells Gajeel as he charges forward and delivers a sharp uppercut to his jaw.

"Tch, who said I was?" mutters Natsu. Wait a second… Didn't Gigi say that this is a battle royale?

If so… then where are Lucy and Levy?

Natsu turns his head to the side where his gaze hones in on the two girls looking at their fight with calculating expressions. Lucy upon seeing Natsu's stare, gives a small smirk and whispers something to Levy.

"We were right on the mark weren't we?"

Levy chuckles.

"Yes we were Lu-chan, they are being quite predictable."

And... Another chapter done! I hope you all liked it! Lucy and Levy are being quite devious aren't they?

Natsu: Hey! What are they planning!

Me: Now why would I tell you that?

Lucy: Yeah Natsu :3 Why would she tell you of our little plan?

Natsu: *shivers* She is being scary!

Me: Haha, good luck to all the remaining competitors!

In any case, that's all for now! Make sure to let me know what you all think! I hope you all enjoyed and I hope to see you all again soon!
