This is my first fan fiction story, which I'm pretty proud of. I have more than half of the story completed, but i only loaded the first part as I try to make the rest of it even better. I suck at grammar so please be nice, and I would love it, if you guys could review the story. Maybe I will continue to add or make changes to the story, depending on what you guys say. It get's a lot better after this, i swear...also I do not own Fairy tail, if I did then i would be rich..lol

All of Fairytail bowed their heads in shame as the final scores appeared on the magical lacrima screen. It read all the final scores of the grand magic tournament. "In first place winning the grand magic tournament with a perfect score of 90 points (seeing how each day there was a challenge and a battle except for the fifth day, and with each battle only being worth 10 points) SABER TOOTH!" the announcer proclaimed.

Score board:

1st place Saber Tooth

2nd place Raven Tail

3rd place Fairy Tail A

4th place Lamia Scale

5th place Mermaid Heel

6th place Blue Pegasus

7th place Quatro Cerberus

8th place Fairytail B (disqualified) the judges found out Mystagon was Jellal, after his fearsome battle with Erza

The announcer proclaimed how Saber Tooth wiped out its competition like every year, and how 1st place won a handsome reward and a gold trophy, while second place will get a small compensation for silver and third place will just receive a small bronze medal.

The Fairy Tail guild was left out, and they desperately needed to win the competition or at least place at second, to win the money that they owed. While Makarov, still being happy about his guild's accomplishments, he just couldn't bring a smile to his face.

As the stadium was being emptied out by the thousands of people, there was some small talk about how Lucy managed to shoot down any chance Fairy Tail had for winning. Throughout the competition she lost every battle and or challenge that she was asked to do, unlike her members who would at least tie, win, or at least get some points in their challenges.

As the guild headed back to their land in Fiore, Lucy could not stop, but over hear a certain take over mage, who whispered awfully loud. Lisanna kept going on about, if only they would of had someone else other than Lucy participate. If they had ANY body else they would have least gotten 2nd place. Then she went so far to say a little kid can do a better job.

Lucy was in the background trying to fight back her tears, until a certain blue haired mage yelled at Lisanna.

Levy told Lisanna, "that's not fair and most of the time Raven Tail cheated", (with no hard evidence, Raven tail could not be blamed).

That's when one scarlet haired mage said "I agree with Lisanna to an extent, Raven tail did cheat ,but even when they cheated the rest of the group still managed to pull through, except for Lucy".

With those harsh words, Lucy could no longer hold her tears in, and distanced herself away from the group.

When they finally arrived back home, Lucy knew what she had to do, she needed to get stronger. Yes, she was hurt from what Lisanna had said, but the celestial mage knew she was the weakest of the group, even elf man managed to come through in the tournament. He won his battle with the leader of Quatro Cerberus. She knew the only way to get stronger was to get away from her friends, who would most likely do all the fighting in the missions. She usually was there for defense; defense which most of the time they did not need. But she loved her nakama (family), she couldn't leave them. That's when she saw all five of them in a table. It was Lisanna , Gray, Erza, Natsu and happy all laughing.

She walked over to hear what all the commotion was all about, that's when the pink haired mage, said, "Hey Luce, come over here we need to talk to you". He said in a joyful manner.

Lucy started to walk over to her team until she came to a sudden stop. She noticed Lisanna's arm wrapped around Natsu's left arm, holding on to him as they were lovers. She then proceeds to walk towards the group.

Lisannas started to say "how would you feel if you took a break for a little bit, while I do a couple of missions with these guys?" she said in a sadistic tone.

Gray then said to Lucy, "when we were kids, we always wanted to do job's with each other, but never got the opportunity"

Erza then interrupted by saying, "think of it as this, you can get more money for rent instead of sharing the total reward with all of us, and you could also get stronger this way, you're always complaining how weak you are", she said this without trying to sound condescending. That's just how the armored warrior was.

Lucy just stood there, as the tears rolled out of her eyes.
