Lucy was running after Natsu like she usually did, yelling at him to wait for her. He had said something about smelling a dragon but she had no idea what he meant by that. She eventually made it to a small crowd that had gone silent while the people in the middle talked about something. She pushed her way through and her eyes landed on Natsu, Happy, a man with blonde hair, a man with black hair, a red cat, and a green cat with a pink frog costume.

She made it as the red cat had started to say something; "You see, Natsu and those other two were raised by dragons which makes them first generation Dragon Slayers. Laxus and that guy Cobra from Oracion Seis had lacrima placed inside of them so that makes them second generation Dragon Slayers. Sting and Rogue here were raised by dragon and had a lacrima placed in them. That makes them the thirst generation hybrid!" The little red cat explains cockily. Sting? Where has she heard that name before?

Sting glanced up after Lector had finished explaining about all the Dragon Slayers and his eyes widened. He had heard that the Fairy Tail mages returned from the island but he never expected to actually see her. But there she was, standing in all her glory. "L-Lucy... Lucy Heartfilia?" He asked quietly, but loud enough for her to hear.

Lucy tilts her head in confusion and nods. How did he know her name? He did look oddly familiar though. That scar above his right eye was nagging at her memory. She suddenly gasped and a slight blush appears on her cheeks as the blonde man runs up to her and hugs her tightly. "U-Um.."

Sting let a large smile spread across his face. "It's me, Sting."

Her eyes widen as realization crosses her. She pulls back and stares into his eyes. Was it actually that little boy she had met all those years ago? The blonde hair, the deep blue eyes, the cocky smirk she saw when she first arrived, the damn scar, of course it was him! "Oh Sting! I'm so sorry I disappeared all those years ago! You look so different now I didn't even recognize you!" She exclaimed happily as she wrapped him in another hug. She heard someone clear their throat and turned to look at Natsu, releasing Sting from the hug. "Oh, right. Natsu, this is Sting. We were really close friends for a while before we disappeared on the island." Before Natsu had time to answer though, she grabbed Sting's hand and ran off with him, Lector quickly following, leaving a gaping Natsu and a confused Rogue.

Sting stared at Lucy with a small smile on his face as she was telling him stories about what happened after she returned from the island as they sat at a small café, each of them with a cup of coffee in their hands. He wasn't really paying too much attention to what she was saying though, something about an Infinity Clock. He could only pay attention to how beautiful she actually was. He never noticed before when they were friends all those years ago, his innocent eleven and twelve-year-old mind not catching on to how sexy she actually was. Her golden hair had gotten a little longer then what he had last remembered, almost reaching her waist. Her chocolate brown eyes that he could easily get lost in if he wasn't carful. A cute nose that was above two plush pink lips that he could easily devour. A slender neck and an amazing chest followed by a pinched waist and delisously flared hips. Finally finished off with long sexy legs that he could just imagine wrapped around him as she screamed his name in pleasure. He was getting hard just looking at her in that low cut sleeveless belly shirt and small vest.

Wait. What was he doing? This was Lucy for gods sake. His old best friend and savior. He couldn't think of her in such a way, but he couldn't help himself. He never realized before how gorgeous she was. Sure, he's been with some woman when he got older, losing his virginity at seventeen and sleeping with plenty of girls after that. He remembered a few girls asking him to go out with them but he never agreed, only actually wanting to date one woman. And that woman was sitting in front of him, talking about how she was so happy to finally see him again. Yes, he will admit he had a slight crush on her at the age of twelve, but who wouldn't? She was so sweet and charming. She still is.

"So that's basically it. What about you? What did you do these past seven years?" She asked him with a bright smile, noticing he was lost in thought so she reached over and waved her hand in front of his face. "Sting?"

Sting shakes his head and clears his throat. "Sorry, was just thinking about something you said." When she gives him a look that said she was waiting for something he gives her a questioning look before remembering what she asked him. "Oh right. I didn't do much really. I found Lectors egg right after you went to the island. I was really excited for you to come back so we could hatch him together but when I found out that you disappeared I was devastated. A few months later he hatched and I raised him by myself. I would protect him and he would always defend me when people talked shit. A few years later I met Rogue and Frosch and we became friends. We were going to join fairy Tail while we waited for you and Gajeel to return but then we met someone and they brought us to Sabertooth. We joined and then four years later we found out that you returned and I was very happy, I'm not sure how Rogue was though. I think he just wants to really fight Gajeel." He chuckled.

Lucy gives him a sad smile. "I'm so sorry I made you wait all those years." She places her hand on his, giggling at the small blush on his face as she did so. "You really do look different though. If we were going by looks, technically you would be older than me. You're nineteen right?"

Sting nods. "Yeah, and the way you look you should be seventeen right?" He smirks and she nods. "Does that mean I get to call you shorty and kid now since I'm taller?"

"No way! You may be older by looks but I'm actually twenty-four." She crosses her arms and pouts.

Sting laughs and adjusts his vest. "I'm still taller though old lady." He grins as her face goes red in anger and embarrassment.

"Don't call me that you weirdo!"

"Anyways, are you in the Grand Magic Games this year?" He asks as he takes a sip of his forgotten coffee, wrinkling his lip a little in disgust as he realised it had gone cold.

She nods happily. "Are you?"

"Yup. But only eight guilds get to go through after the preliminary round so let's see if you make it through. I know I will." He smirked cockily to which she rolled her eyes at.

"You may not look the same but you still have the same attitude." She sighs with a small smile.

Sting shrugs. "That was a long time ago for me. I still remember the day we first met though." He smiles at her.

Lucy raises her eyebrows in surprise. "Really now? Even after eight years?"

"You bet. I could never forget meeting someone as amazing as you." He chuckles at the small blush on her cheeks and remembers his first time seeing her in person.

Sting was running through a forest, fear etched on his boyish features. He glances back to the dozen or so dark mages running after him. He was fighting two of them when all of a sudden more appeared and started to attack him and he ran. He had magic and could control it but he still wasn't extremely powerful. He was eleven after all.

His foot catches on a root sticking out of the dirt and he lands face first on the ground. He hisses in pain as he realises he sprained his ankle. He holds onto his right ankle and glances up to see that the mages were now surrounding him.

"You're dead now you little bastard!" One of them yells and runs at him with a sword.

Sting shuts his eyes tightly and waits for him to strike. When it never came, he opened his eyes and watched as all the mages were looking off to the side. He looks to where they are looking and his eyes widen as he sees a blonde girl standing there with a whip coiled around the sword and a snarl curling her lip. 'Is that...'

"You guys are really low. Picking on a child like this. I need to teach you a lesson." Lucy says angrily and snaps her whip, sending the sword flying into one of the mages' chest. She smirks as the man screams and falls lifeless to the ground. She calls out Taurus as the men run at her. The bull starts to take on half of the mages while Lucy took on the other half.

Sting stared in awe as he watched the girl fight. 'She's amazing.' He thinks to himself, watching as she takes down the last one.

Lucy walks over to the blonde boy on the ground and kneels in front of him. "Are you okay?"

Sting nods his head. "That was awesome!" He watches as she moves her bangs from her face and notices a mark on her hand. "You're from Fairy Tail? That means you must be Lucy if you can summon spirits!" He says excitedly.

Lucy giggles. "Yup, that's me! What's your name?"

"I'm Sting Eucliffe!"

"Oh? Nice name you have there, Sting. Can you use magic?" She tilts her head, wondering why a bunch of mages would go after a kid.

Sting nods and grins widely at her. "I'm a White Dragon Slayer!"

Her eyes widen slightly at that but then a soft smile crosses her features. "Is that so? That's really cool. So where do you live so I can take you home to your parents."

Sting then looks down sadly. "I actually don't have a home. I never knew my parents, I only knew Weisslogia - my dragon. I've honesty just been living in the woods after he disappeared."

Lucy hugs him tightly to her. "You poor thing, would you want to live with me?" She pulls back to look at his stunned face.

"R-Really? But you don't even know me." Sting blushes when she smiles brightly at him.

"Your name is Sting Eucliffe and you're a Dragon Slayer. Sounds to me like I know you." She giggles.

He sits there for a while, not sure what to say. After a while he finally decides to answer. "Fine.."

"Well I should probably go. It's late and the rules say that we have to be at the hotel before midnight." She sighs as she stands from the table and reaches for her wallet.

Sting places a hand on her arm. "I got it." He smiles and digs in his pocket before placing a few jewel on the table. When she smiles at him in thanks, he offers his arm to her. "I'll walk you."

She giggles and places her arm in his. "Wow, maybe you actually have matured. Such a gentleman now."

Sting chuckles and they start walking to her hotel in comfortable silence. He couldn't remember the last time he was this happy, probably when he first got Lector. But this time was different than when he got Lector. His heart was beating like crazy and it took everything in him to keep a blush from forming on his cheeks. He could easily tell that his little crush that he had on her all those years ago was growing into something more. Not quite love but he could tell that he would do just about anything to make her his. They arrive at her hotel and a smile crosses his face as she gives him a tight hug and walks inside. He was ecstatic. He felt a tug on his pants and looked down at a confused Lector. Oh right, he forgot he was with them. "Yes?"

"Sting, why are you hanging out with a rival guild member?" The little red cat asks.

"That's the girl I told you so much about when we were younger. That's Lucy." Sting says and picks him up when he nods. "Let's get back. It's almost midnight."

Sting was nervous. His guild made it past the preliminary round the night before but he didn't know if Lucy had made it. He would be finding out in a few minutes and he was anxious. He heard his name being called and he turned and saw that Rogue was motioning him to follow them as their guild was called. He takes a deep breath and follows them out, putting on a smirk as they left the area and into the arena. He saw that they were the first ones out and leaned against a wall with his arms crossed as he waited for the other guilds to be called. He held in the smile that wanted to creep on his face as he heard them call Fairy Tail. He secretly glanced up and had to hold in a groan. Lucy was going to be the death of him with all of those sexy outfits. Her skirt was so short that if she bent over even the slightest then he would get a look at those beautiful round cheeks. He wished he could grab them. Well, he wished he could grab all of her. He noticed that she was waving at him and he gave her a smirk. He saw her smile and turn to talk to her team and he sighs. He's a goner.

He raises his eyebrows in surprise as they call for a Fairy Tail B team. Lucy looks back over to him and he gives her a questioning look, to which he received a shrug from her. He's never heard of a guild having two teams before. But this was Fairy Tail after all, so it was to be expected. It seemed that all of the powerhouses of Fairy Tail were there, including all of the Dragon Slayers that were a part of the guild. Except Wendy. He wondered why she wasn't there. He obviously was not about to walk up and ask. Maybe he would ask Lucy if they met up alone again.

The guilds went to their stands as the first match was starting. Rufus had participated in the first round while Gray and Juvia from Fairy Tail went into the first round. He thinks it was called Hidden, he wasn't really paying attention. As the round went on, he stared at Lucy secretly. He couldn't seem to keep his eyes off of her. She was watching the round with hope in her eyes, probably rooting for Gray to win.

In the end Rufus won while both Fairy Tail teams ended in last. He felt kind of bad for her but it's not like he could control who won. He watched as she tried to comfort Gray and had to hold in a growl as he pushed her away and ran off. What a prick.

He perked up though as they announced that Lucy would be fighting. He hasn't seen her fight in a long time so he was excited. He didn't show it obviously, but he was. He watched as she had a fierce look on her face when she entered the arena. She looked so sexy like that, he felt his member twitch as she cocked a hip to the side but his excitement soon left as a creepy looking red head entered as well. Yeah, no thank you. They started the match and his eyes widen when she summons two spirits, one who he recognized as Taurus, the bull who helped save him all those years ago. He was surprised, she was never able to summon two spirits at once before. He was proud of her.

As the match went on, the red head had started to overcome Lucy and wrapped her hair around her wrists and ankles. He had to clench his fists tightly to hold himself back so he wouldn't jump down there and Holy Ray her ass as she threatened to burn her over her guild mark. He noticed Natsu run over to the rest of their guild and grab a chunk of long red hair sticking from the ground and burn it. So that was why Lucy wasn't fighting back. The bitch threatened to hurt that little girl. He held in a smirk as Lucy got free and called upon a spirit. He bit his lip and felt his pants tighten when her spirits turned into Lucy with only a towel on. He wanted to rip out the eyes of every male here but he held himself back and just watched her. Damn she was hot as hell. He watched as she turned her blushing face toward him and he smirked at her, causing her face to turn a deeper red.

She started chanting a spell that he's never heard of before and the attack hit her dead on. The red head fell to the ground, and Lucy raised a fist as a large smile appeared on her face. She won. Damn she was so much stronger than she used to be. Everyone cheered for the blonde woman and she skipped her way back to her stand while the medic took care of the Raven Tail girl. Another round started between two guilds he didn't really care about and he left his stand, ignoring the questions his team asked.

He walked down the long hallway with his hands in his pockets as he thought about the battle. She was amazing. It was like watching a beautiful dancer preform enchanting moves. He grunted as he bumped into someone and heard a small squeak and a thud. "Watch where you-" He went to glare at the person but stopped when he saw it was Lucy. He quickly helped her up and apologized.

"It's fine, I wasn't watching where I was going so I should be the one saying sorry." She chuckles and scratched the back of her head. "Oh! Did you see my match? I won!" She says excitedly.

He chuckles and nods. "Yeah, you were amazing. You've definitely gotten stronger."

"You think so?" She blushes and fiddles with her fingers.

"Absolutely. Also I wanted to ask you something. Why isn't Wendy on one of the teams. I mean, she is a Dragon Slayer after all." He asks.

"Oh, she was on our team but she didn't make it to the hotel in time so we have Elfman instead." When he gives her a questioning look she giggles. "He's the super buff guy with white hair."

He nods slowly and crosses his arms. "I should probably head back, the next match is about to start and I want to see if my team is fighting. Maybe one day I'll get to fight you!" He laughs and walks away, leaving an annoyed Lucy. He makes it back and sees that Orga was fighting some kind of dog thing. He laughs as Orga wins in a single hit. "Hey Orga! Couldn't you have made that a little more entertaining?"

Orga grunts and walks over to the guy with a pumpkin on his head and takes the mic. Uh-Oh. He stated singing and everyone groaned. After a bit the pumpkin guy takes the mic back and Orga walks back to the stand. "How was that?" The green haired man asked.

"Uhh, good?" He asked more than answered to which Orga took as a compliment.

The next round started and it was another Fairy Tail member. It was one he hadn't seen before and he looked really creepy. He had a hat on that shadowed his eyes and a mask that covered over his nose so there wasn't really much skin on his face showing. He had bandages on his arms and legs and rugged clothes. Were those sandals? Who wore sandals regularly?

Sting sighs as he watched the fight. It was interesting since the guy was fighting a wizard saint but if it wasn't for that then he would have no interest in the battle at all. His eyebrows shoot up to his hairline as the mystery guy falls to the ground and bursts out laughing. Was this guy on something? He then covers his mouth and starts screaming. Okay yeah he definitely was on something. He eventually was knocked out from whatever he was doing and Jura was declared the winner. He wasn't sure what just happened but he didn't care, the day was over which meant he could see Lucy again.

He leaves as they announce that the day was over, quickly making his way to the Fairy Tail side. He steps around a corner and sees Lucy talking with her team as everyone else from the guild talked with one another. Someone noticed that he was there and then everyone went dead silent. He clears his throat and shuffles awkwardly. "Lucy."

She stops talking with Erza and turns to look at the blonde man standing at the entrance to their stand. "Oh, hi Sting!" She says happily and jogs over to him and gives him a large hug, to which he returned.

Everyone stared in shock, except Natsu who looked annoyed. "Why are you being so friendly with a rival member?" Gajeel grunted and gave Sting a once over.

"Because they're in love!" Mira exclaimed excitedly with hearts in her eyes.

Lucy sweat drops. "Um no Mira, we're just old friends. To me I haven't seen him in months but for him he hasn't seen me in years."

"Lovers reunited!"

"Mira, stop it please." Lucy mumbles with a small blush. "Come on Sting, let's go for a walk." She grabs his wrist and walks away with him, rolling her eyes as she heard the white haired demon squeal.

They make it to a park and sit on a bench, enjoying each others company in silence. "Y'know," Sting started and looked at her with a smirk. "You looked really good in that towel." He laughs as she punches his shoulder and starts yelling at him for being a pervert. "I'd say I was kidding so you would stop hitting me but I just can't. Any guy with eyes would agree."

She pouts at him with a huge blush across her cheeks. "Whatever you pervy Bee." She giggles as he gawks at her.

"That's pretty rude, Blondie." He grins at her as she glares at him. He knew she hated being called that, especially by another blonde. She would always complain about how a certain 'Stupid Sparky' would always call her that and never called her by her real name. They talked for a while after that, lots of laughing and blushing while they talked for a few hours. Sting noticed that the sun had gone down now and he stood. "We should probably head back before your team murders me." He chuckles and offers his arm to her.

She smiles and slips her arm into his. "You're right." They start walking towards her hotel in a comfortable silence. It was always like this with them, they didn't need words to enjoy each others company. They make it to her place and she hugs him goodbye before disappearing behind the door.

He sighs happily as he made his way back to his own place. His life was pretty great at the moment. His guild wasn't perfect but he had four amazing friends. Lector was always by his side -not this time but usually he was-, Rogue always gave him good advice and kept him in line, Fro was oblivious but fun, and finally Lucy; she was perfect in every way. She always found a way to make him smile and she was his oldest friend and savior. He finally made it to his place and enters, waving at Rogue as he passed by him.

"You were out pretty late this time, Sting." Rogue states as he stares at him.

Sting stops and gives him a lazy shrug. "What's your point?"

"Master isn't going to like it when he finds out that you are hanging around with a Fairy." Rogue crosses his arms.

"I don't care what he thinks." Sting growls. "Lucy is my friend." He walks into his room and shuts the door behind him. He gives a heavy sigh as he takes off his clothes, leaving him in only his boxers. Sometimes he wished that Sabertooth had a different master. Jiemma was cruel and only cared about himself, he didn't even care about his own daughter until she became strong. He flops on to his bed and yawns before his eyes start to droop. Sleep finally overcame him, filling his mind with pleasant dreams.

A twelve-year-old Sting made his way into the kitchen of Lucy's apartment early in the morning at the first smell of bacon. "Mornin' Blondie." Sting yawns as he sees Lucy cutting some fruit.

She points the knife at him with a glare. "What did I tell you about calling me that? I already have that stupid Sparky calling me that."

Sting holds his hands up with a chuckle. "Okay okay, sorry." He takes a seat at her table and looks down a little sadly. "Today is the day that you go to the island right?"

Lucy nods as she places the knife in the sink and adds a generous amount of food on to Stings plate before handing it to him and taking a seat beside him. "Don't look sad, I'll be back before you know it. I'll only be gone for a few days. A week tops." She giggles and ruffles his hair.

"What if you get attacked and the island disappears!" Sting exclaimed worriedly.

Lucy laughs and grabs her own plate of food. "That'll never happy. I won't ever leave you."

Sting looks up at her with a pout. "Promise?"

"Promise." She gives him a warm smile.

Hey guys I decided to change up the games a little bit as you can tell. It will all eventually still end the same way though so don't worry. Hope you liked it, love you all!
