CHAPTER FIVE:

THE ART OF DRESS STEALING

"Welcome back…" A scream shoot up, just as she began, behind Violet who, being Violet, went to investigate leaving Josh to announce by himself again.

"That was Violet and I'm Josh. Tonight we are going to host the Battle Phase of round two in this nice, lacrima air conditioned hotel." Josh pointed behind him at a large, fancy hotel that had rolled out its red carpet. Flashes of camera and screams from fans spiked as Fairy Tail walked out of a shiny Black Limo. Violet was standing next to a strange site. Lucy Heartphilia was shamelessly kissing Sting Eucliffe by the refreshment table set up for the reporters who had to stay outside. "Tonight one of the most epic battles of history will be streamed live to the Dom Flau in Crocus and to every screen in Fiore. Tonight is a team sing off. Now we are going to Violet who is going to tell us all about the judges."

Violet stood with her back to the camera watching as Lucy kissed Sting. Tears were streaming down the woman's face, she wanted to kiss Sting. Then Lucy pulled away. "I've got it!" She exclaimed in triumph causing Violet to come out of her stupor of jealousy and awe.

"What do you have?" The announcer asked anxious to know why in Earthland would Lucy be kissing Sting; they were on enemy teams after all.

"He took my cupcake and called me fat." Lucy held the pink glitter cupcake as though it were a trophy. "I don't look fat, do I?" Lucy and Violet looked at the Celestial Mage's dark blue dress. Rhinestones glittered from the bodice and down the feather skirt of the sleeveless gown

"No you look like a princess. Who are you wearing tonight?"

"LILY from his new line Clothes."

"Who?"

"Well, he is an old friend of mine and actually I'm working to model the line he has been working on, No."

"Is he a new designer?"

"No, he has been on the market for a year now. Um...I think you're supposed to do something." Lucy pointed to the the red faced Josh. He was tapping his foot angrily and caused Violet to cringe away at the site of him.

"Since we have no time for judges now, we are going to announce the rules of tonight's events." Josh stormed into the camera's view. "The team in first place will chose who they sing against and then the next available highest ranking team will choose, so on and so forth. After the teams chose who they will be competing against the judges will randomly draw a song. The teams have an hour to prepare their routines, costumes and learn the song." Josh and Violet began maneuvering through the crowds.

"The sing off will be between two teams with the same song. The team with the highest rank will go first. After, judging points will be reduced from the loser and added to the winner."

"If a team in eighth place is defeated no points are received or deducted."

"A team in seventh place defeat would reduce twenty-five points from the seventh place team and gives them to the winning team."

"Sixth place defeat would give and reduce fifty points."

"A fifth place defeat will give and reduce seventy-five points."

"For a fourth place defeat 100 point are deducted and given."

"And a third place defeat would give and reduce 150 points."

"If a second place team is defeat 200 points are awarded and taken away."

"A first place defeat would result with… a 250 point reduction and addition! Good Luck Sabertooth!" Violet looked concerned only for a moment. "Josh why are the scores so high?"

"Well Violet, that is because we multiplied the normal point reduction and additions by five to simulate that a five people were defeated, and since this is a team challenge five people are being defeated."

"That makes since." Violet stopped in a dark room with a bright light shining on a stage. Standing on the platform were the members of each team. "This looks crowded," Violet added to the large group. "So is anyone nervous?" None of the contestants heard her. "Hmph, LUCY KISSED STING!" That caught the attention of everyone in the room.

"Aren't we in a competition; why does it matter who I kiss?" Lucy pouted.

"No reason~" Violet sang as she skipped to center stage a spotlight followed her childish movements. "The judges will be choosing the songs soon, but right now the teams are choosing who they will be competing against. We are going to start with the first place team, Sabertooth." Violet stood next to the strange team made up of Minerva Orlando, Orga Nanagear, Rufus Lore, Rouge Cheney, and Sting Eucliffe. "Sting, how was it kissing Lucy?" Violet asked the unsuspecting blonde.

"It was okay I guess. How does this have to do anything with the competition?"

"My kissing was just OKAY!" Lucy screeched. "LUCY KICK!" The blonde woman carefully walked away from the fallen Sting.

Violet smiled triumphantly. "Orga, which team have you decided to face in this challenge?"

"Fairy Tail."

"Which one?"

"A."

"Okay, Sabertooth against Fairy Tail Team A." Violet then walked up to Ethan being the competitor in the challenge it was up to him to chose who they were going to face.

"Fairy Tail Team B." He said before even being asked.

"What made you chose them?

"First of all they are the next highest ranking team, so the amount of points we could gain is higher than the option of all the other teams." Wendy told her. The blunette was wearing a pastel blue dress with a sort of trail coming out the back.

"Secondly we just want to crush them." Lucy added, but Violet wasn't listening.

"Wendy, give me your dress!" Violet began to chase Wendy around the stage trying and failing most of the time to rip the dress off the unfortunate girl. Josh took over from there.

" Wolf Clan, who do you chose to compete against?"

"Lamia Scale is the next highest of rank, so we chose to compete against them."

"That leaves Blue Pegasus," Josh motioned to Ichya and his team. "to compete with Mermaid Heel." The team of five cloaked figures was indicated.

"Time for the judges to choose the songs!" Violet shouted from several feet in the air. Her feet were securely wrapped with a rope used for the curtains on the stage..

"Violet, how did you get up there?"

"I'm sorry she was chasing me." Wendy began to apologize profusely.

"It's okay Wendy." Louis walked over to his teammate. He smiled.

"Awwwww!" Violet coed from above them causing the shy Louis to begin to stutter.

"Why'd you have to do that; couldn't you see they were have a moment?" Lucy told Violet angrily.

"Sorry but it wasn't me." Violet told them. "It was her." All eyes went to Mirajane on Fairy Tail Team B.

"Ohhh."

"The judges' first randomly selected song for Sabertooth and Fairy Tail Team A…" Violet began announcing from her post hanging in the air by a rope. "On Top Of the World by Imagine Dragons. Josh, have you ever heard of that band?"

"Nope, the judges' random selection for Lumen Siderum vs. Fairy Tail Team B...Teenage Dream by Katy Perry."

"Seriously whose Katy Perry?"

"I told you I have no clue, just do your job."

"Oh right, next song, this one for Wolf Clan vs. Lamia Scale...Paradise by Coldplay. That name makes no sense."

"Finally, the song for Blue Pegasus vs. Mermaid Heel...Hello by Evanescence."

"Who are these people?!"

"Yeah, that last one was just weird." Josh looked at the judges. They simply sat staring at them.

"...Okay? Thanks for watching."

"The teams are going to prepare for their performance, and I'm going to get out of this rope."

"Here is a message from our sponsor. Salt Lamps, the first edible lamp, order today by speed mail. For a limited time only get a free copy of The Art of Dress Stealing by Violet Rose." Josh looked up at Violet.

"You wrote a book in five minutes."

"No silly, I have been working on it for a little while now."

"Oh." Josh began muttering to himself.

"Thanks for watching, I have to go, and Josh had to go take his medicine so he doesn't crazy again. Join us later for the rest of the battle phase." The camera flicked out.

Lucy: Really who is Katy Perry?

Happy: This chapter is still in flash back.
