"These games are so chaotic!" I exhaled deeply, stretched my arms behind my head as I wandered along the moonlit street.

"You're the one who wanted to be in it so bad!" May said.

I shrugged, grinning at my exceed companion cheekily, "I know! It's fun! ...But chaotic."

May snorted, "Oh, well. Personally, it was hilarious watching you get attacked by ice pigeons!"

I whipped around to glare at my partner.

"They were EAGLES! And they HURT!" I protested.

"I know." She replied airily, "I take pleasure in the pain of others."

"You are so weird, May."

"Why thank you. Hey, isn't that Rogue?"

(Admin: *smirking*
Skie: Screw you.
Admin: *more smirking as I hold up a SkiRo flag*)

I followed her gaze down the silvery park to see the shadowy figure of Rogue staring out over the town, leaning against a tree. He seemed to be patting a cat- wait no. A frog? Or was that a cat dressed up as a frog? It looked like the thing I had seen him talking with on the first day of the Games.

May landed on my head.

"I think that's his exceed companion. I saw it during your battle. It's a green cat with a pink frog suit. I think it's name is Frosch?" she informed me in a quiet voice.

I glanced up at her, not sure if she was joking, then strolled over to the Sabertooth wizard.

Naturally, I stumbled over my own feet, and ended up face-first on the grass.
Rogue stared at me as I picked myself up, swearing under my breath. I could tell he was trying not to chuckle.

"Hey. Whatcha doing all the way out here at night?" I asked as casually as possible, cheeks burning scarlet with embarrassment.

"I could ask you the same thing..." The dark-haired male replied, like that was all the answer he needed.

"Oh yes," I said sarcastically, "10/10 answer. So descriptive."

The shadow dragon slayer snorted and put his exceed, Frosch, on the ground, where May was standing, looking up at us.

"So, I've been meaning to ask you..." Rogue sighed. I tilted my head slightly, curious.

"Yeah?"

"In the first event of the Games... The spell you cast..." He said, "The one that paralysed the other team...?"

I nodded, "Ohh. Yep. Stardust, you mean?"

He nodded, staring at me quizzically, "Why didn't you use that at the start? It would've made the fight easier..."

I sighed, fiddling with the hem of my skirt.

"That particular spell... It doesn't have a high success rate..." I explained, "More times than not, it backfires on me, and I'M the one who ends up paralysed for half and hour. I didn't want to risk it and become useless for the entire battle."

Rogue nodded in understanding, but didn't say anything.

We stood in silence for a while, staring out at the moonlit town, and leaning against the tree.
It was so peaceful until a certain brown furball decided to employ everything she had learned from Mirajane about shipping.

"You two should totally kiss," May stated, fighting to keep a straight face. My face went red.

"May!"

"Fro thinks so too!"

Now Rogue was blushing too, face hidden by the had he had just face-palmed with.

"Ha! Yes! I got him to show some emotion! Ha!" May crowed victoriously.

"May, you devious little furball."
