It's during the Grand Magic Games and Y/N is fighting in the Fairy Tail Team. Her mysterious powers remain hidden for the time being, but the crowd is no less intrigued by her. Little did she know she also was being watched by a certain white drago...
When I finally make it back to the bar it's dark. When I enter the bar, I see a small group of Laxus, Gray, Juvia, Mirajane,and Erza gathered around Gramps who is sitting on a stool at the bar. Natsu is tied to a pole with Wendy, Happy, and Carla trying to calm him down.
"Okay I know Natsu can be irritating," I laugh, "but is it really necessary to tie him up?" The group turns back at me. Their serious looks cease my laughter. "What?" I question, "What happened?"
"Lucy's been captured for no goddamn reason, that's what!" Natsu shouts as he struggles with the ropes. I glance at Erza for a more detailed answer.
"You have a lot to catch up on, Y/n," she sighs and closes her eyes. Gray sits me down on one of the nearby chairs and kneels in front of me. He, Gajeel, and Wendy, explain the mass dragon grave they found and how Wendy was able to conjure one of their spirits. This ghost told them of the dragon civil war and how the original dragon slayers came about. It continued to explain how the slayers then turned on the dragons that gifted them with their power.
"One of the most deadliest amoung these slayers," Gray spoke, "was a man, named Acnologia." I can only stare at him. Acnologia?! The same drgaon who-
"Tell her the best part," Gajeel interupted. Gray sighs.
"I'm giving her time," he gowls back, "She can't handle everything at once." The Iron Dragon Slayer scoffs at him.
"I don't give a damn, "I say sternly, glancing between Gray and Gajeel, "Somebody just tell me."
"Fine," Gajeel spoke up, "Acnologia transformed into a dragon after using to much Dragon Slayer Magic." He pauses. "And that's the fate of every Dragon Slayer," he explains, not being able to look me in the eye, "Regardless." His last word pierces through my chest. Did he mean regardless of my God Slaying Magic? I mean I couldn't expect that to save me from something like this. Oh God. Suddenly Gray strokes my arms.
"Hey," he soothes, "Breathe." I do as I'm told, hoping it will help me relax. I lean my head back and fill my chest.
"Wait." I snap my head back down. "What does any of this have to do with Lucy?"
"Oh, " Wendy pipes up, "One of the generals found us and took us to a large magic device he called 'The Eclipse Gate'." She takes a moment to remember. "He mentioned it took a celestial wizard and all twelve Zodiac Keys, " she continues, " So when the guards came to arrest the general, they assumed Lucy and the other girl, Yukino, were accessories."
"But she didn't do a damn thing!" Natsu flames, like literally, and breaks out of his bindings. "We need to stop flapping our gums and do something!" He begins to pitch a fit, but Gramps squashes him with his enlarged fist.
"Simer down," he commands. " A member of our family had been taken against her will," he continues, "believe me, we all want justice." I could feel the tension rising inside the bar.
~Time Skip~
"This is what we have all been waiting for folks!" the announcer shouts over the speakers. I hear the crowd cheer louder than they ever have before. "Today one guild will become the winner of the Grand Magic Games, "he continues, "And proudly hold the title of the Strongest Guild in all of Fiore." The audience loses it. "Today we have a special guest, Mato!" More clapping and whooping can be heard. "You're usually down in the arena," the announcer continues.
"Yes, but today," the orange pumpkin squeals, "is the Final Battle!" I thought the crowd gave it their all before. I was wrong. I have to cover my sensitive hears.
"Aw come one," Gajeel taunts, "It ain't that bad." I glare at him. He'd only joined the team because Natsu went of on the secret rescue mission Master gave him.
"Says the guy with a headband over his ears," I scoff. He growls at my comment.
"It's not a headband!"he shouts at me, "It's a bandanna!"
"What's the difference?" I tease.
"One's cooler!" he shouts irritated.
"Oh I see," I respond and he huffs at me, "The headband is 'cooler' because you can twin with Levi." My words sounding innocent in their taunting. Gajeel's mouth hangs open at my observation. "Am I wrong?" I question teasingly. He simply crosses his arms and turns away from me. I can see a tinge of pink on he cheeks. I can't help but giggle at his reaction.
"And now in first place." I chime back into the announcer's words after our little squabble is over. "The guild that's making a historic comeback after literally falling off the map seven years ago, "he continues, " Let's welcome Fairy Tail!" As we walk more towards the end of the tunnel, the more clearly I can hear the brash crowd. I growl as we enter the arena. Though my expression softens when I see the bright lavender smoke we walk through. I look up to see my Flare howling and whooping right along with Happy, Carla, and Lily. The sight makes me laugh. Suddenly I am reminded of the aftermath I witnessed yesterday at Sabertooth. I glance over to their booth, where there is only the small pink covered exceed, looking adorably yet heartbreakingly sad. I can't lose focus. "There she is folks, Y/n L/n," the announcer broadcasts, " The one who single-handedly took down the Twin Dragon Slayers from Sabertooth!" The crowd grows loud again. Wait are they cheering for me? "Seems we have a new fan favorite!" The announcer's voice blasts over the speakers. No way. Me?! My hands cover my mouth. Their cheers almost bring tears to my eyes. I never would have thought in a million years that the same girl who grew up a freak on the streets could stand in front of a crowd would cheers for her. I feel a firm hand on my shoulder.
"Enjoy this kid," Laxus avows, "This is your moment." I glance back at him, catching Erza's eyes in the crossfire.
"Yes, I agree." She nods.
"You deserve this," Gray beams as he picks me up from behind and swings me around. I playfully scream at him, smiling the whole time. My skirt flares out a bit at the spin of my body. I actually dressed up for the occasion. My best armor outfit.

"What's this folks," the announcer illustrates with a suspicious tone, "Do I sense a romance between Y/n L/n and Gray Fullbuster?" The audience coos at us.
Oh. My. God.
He didn't just say that. That did not just happen. Juvia is going to kill me. Though Gray seems un-phased by his words as he continues my twirling torment. When Gray puts me back on my feet, he brings my body close to his, hugging me tightly. He places a hand on my cheek. I hear the audience 'aw'.
"Gray, "I ask, "What are-" I'm cut off my Gray's lips crashing down on mine. Okay don't freak out. Don't freak out. Don't. Freak. Out. Your childhood friend just decided to kiss you in front of the entire world. Heh...
WHAT THE FUCK GRAY!!!
He breaks the kiss and smiles at me. Still holding me by my hips as we walk further onto the field. My eyes are wide and I feel my cheeks flush. I glance up to the Fairy Tail booth to Juvia, who I expected to be giving me the death glare. Surprisingly she wasn't even watching the field or the lacrimas. She was staring directly at Leon. Like not even trying to hide it. Okay well one problem down, about ten more to go. My eyes drift to Sting, who is scowling at Gray. Fuck! It looks like Gray just made the White Dragon Slayer's number one on his hit list. Wait, why would Sting even care. I'm just being stupid. The only thing he's jealous of is how Gray and I make a cuter fake couple than him and Minerva.
"Seems that we have a new power couple in play folks, "the announcer broadcasts over the speakers.
Little did I know, he was right. He just had the wrong couple.
