May I just start with HOLY CRAP! I asked for suggestions with a poll and you guys reviewed that thing like it was your job! Thank you guys so much! You have no idea how much it means to me that you like my writing so much! Out of all the suggestions that I got, I have come up with new inspiration for more chapters so hopefully I will be able to continue for a while, as long as school doesn't get in the way. Yet again though, THANK YOU! I will be using a suggestion from "Dark Shining Light" for this chapter that is having couples. Now I'm not going to go into detail on this cause that would spoil my plan for it but trust me, this will most likely be pretty funny. Yet again, thank you guys for reading, I hope you like the story and Chow!

The Stick Game

The gang has just finished a non-existent mission, meaning that the customer had cancelled the need for them to come after they had already set off on their way. So now they were staying in a hotel room, with the normal group… plus 3. Jellal, Romeo, and Charela, who decided to tag along this time and see how they did their missions. So now, they all were sitting in the living room, with 2 extra roll out beds off to the side.

"Alright, so this time, we are going to try a new version of 'The Stick Game' that I picked up at a random game store yesterday. Is everyone okay with that decision?" Erza questioned, holding a small bag labeled "Partner TSG." Everyone murmured in agreement, knowing it was a better idea to not argue with the red head.

"Great! Now, the way the pairings will be decided is by us all drawing a stick, and once everyone has picked one, they will receive a telepathic communication with a random person in the room. They will have to decide on the actions people take together, if they cannot agree however on an action without breaking into an argument, it is immediate disqualification and that pair will have to face punishment together. Other than those rules, it's the same old game we are used to. You give up, the rest of the group decides what the punishment you get is, and your partner is off the hook. Is everybody ready?"

At this point, no one was paying attention. They were all busy looking at the person they wanted as their partner, and discussing things through facial motions and hand gestures. The only one that showed any attention was Jellal, who was hoping to get Erza as his partner anyway.

"Considering there was no response, I'm going to take that as a yes. Okay everyone pick a stick," Erza announced, and everyone did as instructed, and started the game by saying the well known words, "Let the game, begin!"

'Hello?' Lucy thought, looking around the room for her partner.

'No! Not love rival!' Juvia thought after hearing Lucy's voice in her head.

'I'm not your love rival! I have Natsu!' Lucy thought-shouted, making Juvia untension from across the room.

'Good, because if Juvia found out you were going for her Gray-Sama while you were dating Natsu, we would have a large problem.'

'Yo! Who's my partner!' Natsu thought, only to be greeted by the one voice he wished he wouldn't have heard.

'Shit! I'm paired with you flame-brain!' Gray thought in a very agitated voice and balled his fists, glaring at a lamp so the rest of the room didn't know who his partner was.

'This is going to be difficult...' Natsu thought, sighing and lying his head in Lucy's lap.

'H-hello?' Wendy thought, inwardly hoping she was paired with Romeo.

'Oh! Hello Wendy! It's Erza,' Said redhead thought, slightly sad but happy about her partner.

'Let's do our best to work together Er-Chan okay?'

'Deal!'

'Yo! Who's my teammate?' Romeo thought, hoping it was a certain bluenette in the room. Strangely enough, it was a bluenette, but not the one he was expecting.

'Oh, hello Romeo-Kun. Odd that we are a pair is it not?' Jellal thought, knowing that his chances of being paired with Erza were slim since the beginning.

'Oh yeah! Totally!'

'Okay, who is my partner?' Charla though, hoping it was anyone but-

'Charla! Do you want a fish?' Happy thought-shouted. He had either wanted Natsu, Lucy, or Charla.

'No I don't want your fish! We need to be focused, therefore, we need to work together and have you NOT trying to flirt with me,' She angrily thought, causing Happy to frown in disappointment.

'Whatever you say, Charla!'

"Now," Erza stated, making everyone's eyes fall on her, and not the random objects they were staring at to avoid making eye-contact with their partner. "We will draw sticks like usual to decide what group receives the power first."

Everyone reached in and took another stick, and Lucy and Juvia felt the power flow through them.

'Alright Juvia, now we have to work together on this. Okay?' Lucy asked, obviously worried that Juvia would make Gray kiss her or something.

'Okay… but can Juvia at least have Gray-Sama kiss Juvia!?' Juvia gave her most pleading thought-voice to the main concern her partner had.

'No Juvia. If you do people will guess that you are the person and we will lose the power. Besides, if we do lose the power, someone is bound to say that to draw suspicion away from their partnership,' Lucy explained, making Juvia gasp into her thoughts at the sudden realization.

'Juvia sees now why she always got guessed when she would ask Gray-Sama to kiss her! Okay, what if we made Natsu have a bromance moment with Gray-Sama. That would draw suspicion away from both of us. Is Juvia incorrect on this?' Lucy untensioned, happy that Juvia understood and didn't blow up at her for not allowing her to kiss the ice-make mage.

((A/N Warning: I kinda accidentally made Gray like a little girl in this but bare with me cause it's actually pretty freaking adorable.))

'That's brilliant Juvia! Okay, Natsu and Gray, bromance moment, go!' As soon as Lucy thought those words, due to the fact that Juvia suggested it and Lucy commanded it making it an agreement, Gray stood up, and walked over to Natsu, losing his clothes along the way.

"Natsu, I need some help," Gray spoke in a low, almost seductive voice.

"What with Ice-Princess?" Natsu got down on one knee like he was a knight in shining armor, pledging his allegiance to his kingdom.

"My chair isn't comfortable, can I sit in your lap instead?" Gray questioned, making the pinkette on the floor stand up and sit on the couch, leaning against an armrest.

"I don't see why not?" At that, Gray came and cuddled into Natsu's lap, laying his head on the dragon slayers shoulder and tucking his legs so they were on the couch.

"That is adorable," Lucy thought, earning a nod from the girl crossed the room. "Alright, time to do something with Romeo and Wendy. What if we had Wendy go sit on the floor and pretend to build a sand castle, and Romeo help her!?" At this Juvia agreed and the two were on the floor patting air.

"Awww! Juvia thinks this is even cuter! But not as cute as her Gray-Sama!"

"They are pretty adorable. Okay now-" and Lucy and Juvia felt the power drain from them.

Who got the power? Find out whenever I get around to writing again. Sorry about being a week late guys. I am going on a school trip this week, otherwise I would have gotter this out sooner, but I have been busy cleaning, packing, and getting homework in so I have barely had any time to write. So I get back Friday, and so I may be able to get some more stories out when I get back. Anyway, thank you guys for reading, I love you guys, and Chow!
