Hi Guys! This is just a quick thing that popped into my head one day but if you really like it i'll try to continue it. Hope you like it!

~year X792, and the next GMG is coming up. No eclipse plan~

Master's P.O.V.

'Done! Finally got through all that council work! Now, next I have to…chose GMG members? Hmmm, yes, I should definitely consult the First about this. If we're to keep our rank as the number one guild in Fiore, we need to strategically think about this from the very start.' I walk out of my office and look around the guild for a particular ghost. Finally I spot her sitting on one of the roof beams, watching the guild with a smile.

"First Master," I call, gaining her attention. "Will you join me in my office? There are some things I would like to discuss with you." Mavis got up from her seat and walked/floated down to my office. I followed after, sitting the door behind me.

"What is it you wish to discuss with me Sixth?"

"I wanted your help in deciding the participants in this year's Grand Magic Games. I was thinking along the lines of a Dragon Slayer team with Erza."

"I believe victory would be most likely if we had a team with Laxus, Mira, Erza, Gajeel and Lucy." Her statement puzzled me. 'Laxus, Mira and Erza I ca understand, they are our S-class. Gajeel was S-class and definitely strong enough to handle most things, but Lucy? I know she is a strong mage in her own right and can mostly hold her own but there are people who could be better suited.'

"I understand the first four First Master but why Lucy? Wouldn't Natsu or Grey be a better choice?"

"I chose Lucy because I now she is stringer than she chooses to appear. Also, among other reasons, I have been personally training her."

"What?" I was shocked. 'Since when was the First training her? If Lucy has grown to be anywhere near the First's level, she could easily surpass most of the members of Fairy Tail!'

"Just how long has Lucy been receiving training from you Master Mavis?"

"11 months Tomorrow."

'Almost a year? I must be getting slack if its been happening this long without my noticing. I better get back in the loop.'

"All right then, who do you think would be best for the second team?"

"According to my calculations, Wendy, Nastu, Grey, Juvia and Cana would work best."

"Do you think it wise to put Juvia with Grey?"

"The power of feelings can outweigh my calculations. The feelings Juvia holds for Grey will cause her to have the courage to always get up and she wont allow herself to be defeated in front of the man she loves."

"Very true. I shall take these teams and announce them to the guild," I went out of the room and down the stairs to the ground floor, First Master following behind. I called Mira over and told her to get the attention of the whole guild focused on the stage. I then walked onto the stage, a small smile on my face as I felt Mira emitting a dark aura, successfully gaining everyones attention. I clear my throat and all eyes turn to me.

"I have been discussing with the First Master on the participants of this Years Grand Magic Games" At this point cheers broke out and Cana started collecting bets. Once things quietened down again I continued.

"Like last year we will have two teams. In Team A, Laxus! Mira! Erza! Gajeel! And…" I paused prolonging it a bit."Lucy!" The hall shook with cheers. "In Team B!" I shouted, issuing silence. "Natsu! Grey! Wendy! Juvia! Cana" Again cheers rang around the hall. Then Natsu's voice rang out over the noise.

"Hey Ji-chan! How come Luce is in Team A with all the strong people and I'm with Ice Princess?" Murmurs coursed though out the room.

"For once Natsu asked a decent question, Why Lucy?"

"Yeah? I mean we all know that she's strong but wouldn't it work better with someone stronger?"

"That Natsu," I said, "is something to ask Master Mavis." All eyes turned to her as she stepped forward.

"I have gone through any possible combinations and my calculations that these are the most suitable teams. Also I know that Lucy is more than capable of handling this for two reasons; one, I have personally been training her for the past 11 months." This caused a few murmurs and surprised sounds. "What is the second reason First?" Mira asked, a gossip loving look on her face. "The second reason is that she is my direct descendant."

Full five minute silence

(Lucy goes and hides under a table in the corner.)

"What?" I shout in unison with my guild.

"I am the Great-Great-Grandmother of Lucy Eloise Vermilion Heartfillia."

"So thats why Luce is so smart!" Natsu exclaims.

"Where is the Princess?" Erza shouts in a maid suit causing the people near her to white out or in Macao and Wakaba's case, have a nose bleed and faint.

Lucy P.O.V.

'I know its a shock to you guys, hell it took me a full day to process it! But is all this fuss really necessary?'

"Where is the Princess?" I heard Erza shout.

"Eeeepp!" 'shoot' I cover my mouth with my hand. 'I hope she didn't hear that! I don't think I can handle a fangirl Erza!' I hear footsteps move towards me and I close my eyes. They get louder then stop. I peek through my lashes and realise with relief it's not Erza. I peek up and to my surprise I see Laxus standing in front of the table I'm under, his back to me.

"Oi!" I hear his growl out. The guild instantly freezes.

"Why are that lot of you fussing like this? So what if Blondie's Mavis's descendant? I'm Macarov's descendant? You guys don't treat me any different so why change things for her? How is that fair? Just stop and think! How would Blondie feel if she was suddenly treated differently? Eh?"

"Laxus is right. Lu-chan is still Lu-chan, no matter who she's related to."

'Levy'

"Yeah! I mean, Bunny girl has alway been strong we just don't see it. Take Phantom Lord, no matter what I did to her, she didn't cry or scream out. At the Tower Of Heaven, she stayed strong and defeated Juvia when she was being controlled and had double her normal power. At Fantasia, she managed to defeat Bixlow with only her own power, plus at the time he had an endless supply of dolls. During the S-class exam on Tenrojima she defeated one of the 7 kin of purgatory, plus it was her spirit that defeated a second and joined forces with her. In last years Grand Magic Games, she survived the torture of both Flare and Minerva. Do I really need to go on? We only see her as not the strongest because of her appearance and personality, also not that many of us have ever seen her fight seriously."

'Gajeel'

i see various members nodding in agreement some with surprise when they realise that i really am strong if i did all those things.

i stayed under the table a while longer as the crowd dispersed, congratulating the other participants. I saw laxu move to sit down next to me. Slowly alter ensuring Erza was no longer in the room, I got up and out from under the table and moved to sit next to laxus's imposing form.

"Thank you for that before."

"No problem, i know what its like for people to treat you differently because of who you're related to." He turns to look at me. "Lets win the Grand Magic Games!"

Ok, so after writing this far i feeling i need to continue this so I'll update when i can. i think I'll put a poll up for possible pairings. Thanks for reading!
