I arrived at the auditorium. Again, it was only a few people. More than last time though: Loke, Lisanna, Lucy, Natsu, Mira, Laxus, Gajeel, Levy, Jellal, Erza, Juvia and I.

"You little brats," Markov started. "Are going to display your new powers to us." awkwardly Loke and Lucy exchanged a slight glance. "Natsu Dragoneel!" Markov boomed. Natsu smiled and stood up, patting Lucy's head before walking up to the stage.

"What is your power?" I yelled. All eyes were on him as he erupted into flames.

"My dad said it was Dragon Slayer Magic," Natsu yelled through the fire; which soon dispersed.

"Lucy Heartfilia!" Markov called, checking stuff off on a clipboard. Lucy looked uneasy as she stood. She flashed a look at Loke and he nodded a bit. She sighed and walked up to the stage after giving Natsu a hug. The blonde took in a deep breath and I was utterly confused. She took out a golden key and placed it near the floor.

"Gate of the Lion I open thee: Leo!" Lucy called. A blinding light surrounded us and suddenly Loke appeared on the stage, standing with his arm over Lucy's shoulders. Natsu- who now sits beside me - stiffened. I smirked and watched as she flicked the key. Loke disappeared and came back standing next to me.

"My magic is called Celestial Spirit magic," Lucy explained. "Many people want it, because only one person in the world has it. That is me." Natsu was getting anxious, he wanted to go up there and help her, and he hated that Loke was with her, technically everywhere. I knew that.

Lucy pulled out another key and pointed it and chanted, "Gate of the Bull I open thee, Taurus!" Soon after a cow-looking human thing appeared next to her. Surprisingly Taurus said something I never expected to hear.

"Lucy-san!" he cooed, "You have such a nice body." Natsu stiffened beside me, bouncing in his seat anxiously. I took in a sharp breath to resist the urge to burst out laughing.

"H-He can't talk to her like that!" Levy whispered leaning her head on Gajeel's arm.

"Nope," Gajeel agreed. "Gihe, Salamander looks like he agrees as well," the gruff voice sounded from behind us. Juvia and I anxiously exchanged a glance.

"Shut up, dammit!" Natsu murmured sinking down in his chair attempting to resist dragging the blonde off the stage.

"Taurus, t-thank you," Lucy thanked him and waved her key. "Bye!"

"Ja'ne, Lucy-san!" he echoed as his figure faded off.

"Thank you, Lucy," Markov said with a smile.

"You're welcome," Lucy responded curtly before stepping down.

"Gray Fullbuster," Markov called.

Crap! I thought. Screw it, I'm just gonna make some ice sculpture or whatever. I trudged up the steps and stood on stage.
"I have magic that allows me to create things, used in combat to make swords or beings to help or assist. Sort'a like Lucy's." I explained. I don't know how I knew this, but I did.

"Well come on," Natsu yelled, his arm around Lucy as she leaned against him. "Show us!"

"Calm down Flame-Brain, you sat there in your seat having an anxiety attack thinking about Loke and Lucy," I yelled back smirking. "I'm glad to see you have calmed down."

"Shut up!" Natsu yelled while Loke looked uneasy and Lucy sat there giggling.

"Ice Make: Shield!" I chanted, holding it up to try and deflect Natsu's large fire ball heading towards me. Of course, it flippin' melted.
