It's been two weeks since Natsu and the others have come back from Tenrou Jima. 'Cause Lucy Heartfilia, the one and only celestial spirit mage of Fairy Tail, doesn't want to be a hindrance anymore, so she went on solo missions to get stronger. Now she's on her way home from the last mission. The young woman is totally lost in her thoughts when she suddenly trips. Before she falls into the river beside her, a pair of strong arms catches her around the waist. Surprised she turns around to face two crystal clear, blue eyes. "Are you alright?", the handsome guy in front of her asks. She can fell her face heading up.
"Yeah, thanks! What's your name? I'm Lucy, Lucy Heartfilia."
"Nice to meet you! I'm Sting Eucliffe. Wanna grab some ice cream?"
"Sure! Count me in"

"I'd like a cup of vanilla ice cream with strawberries, cream and melted chocolate, please!"
"Give me the same without strawberries, but with pistachio ice cream!"
"Thanks!"
Carefully they go over to a table beside the window and start to eat their ice creams.
"Oi, Blondie! Let me have a strawberry!"
"You should have taken strawberries if you wanted some!"
"You're right, but come on! Why should someone as handsome as me pay for a strawberry?" he smirked like hell.
"No! Pay for them yourself!"
"Alright, you win …. Sir, I, the great Sting Eucliffe of Sabertooth, want some strawberries on the house!"
A terrified look crosses the owners face before he runs up to their table with a huge mountain of strawberries placed on a plate. "Are these enough Mr. Eucliffe? I could bring you more if you want me to."
"No, those are enough. Now get lost!" he commanded with a scary voice.
"Uhm, Sting you're scaring me and why don't you pay for your berries?"
"Well first of all … I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you, but that's me I never pay for the extras. I'm Sting Eucliffe, the white dragon slayer of Sabertooth's awesome Dragon Slayer Duo and well, a little red cat called Lector is my partner. By the way are you from a guild too?"
Uh shit! Sabertooth and Fairy Tail are enemies! What should I do? I was about to fall in love?! "Well, please don't get mad, but I'm kinda…" Because she's out of words she shows him her guilds tag.
"So you're a Fairy … are you weak?" Now he's curious.
Slowly she drops her head onto the table. "Yeah, I'm one of the weakest sadly… I hate it 'cause I slow everyone down, so I went on solo missions to get stronger"
While Sting is scratching his head he suggests "You know, I could train you if you like"
"Really? I'd love it!"
"Are you sure? My training is going to be hard for you, you know. I won't spare even if you're a girl 'cause I hate weaklings!"
"Al right!"
"We'll meet tomorrow at the train station in Magnolia at around 10 am, got it?"
"Sure, I don't mind. Bye Sting, till tomorrow."
"Bye, Lucy!"
*time skip*
AT SABERTOOTH STING POV
Come on, you're the great Sting Eucliffe. You absolutely can't fall for a weak fairy! "Sting-kun are you alright?" a worried Lector asks.
"Of course! Want to go on a trip tomorrow?"
"Yeah~! Where to?"
"It's gonna be a surprise and let's take some food with us. I'll give you the details later!"
"Can Fro come too?" a little green exceed within a pink frog costume says.
"Well …. Rouge?"
"It's fine with me, but you don't have to take her with you" (I want Fro to be a girl ;))
"Mhm, I guess it's alright. You can tag along"
"Fro's happy! Does Fro need anything for tomorrow?"
"No, let's meet around 9 am at the train station, ok?"
"Fro agrees! Fro says goodbye for today. Cu tomorrow!" Without another word Rouge and Fro head home and so do Sting and Lector.
On their way home Sting tells Lector about the beautiful blonde Fairy, he meet this afternoon and explains that he agreed to train her. "I think that she will be pathetic" Sting ends his explanation.
"You want to train a FAIRY?! She's not worth your time after all you're Sting Eucliffe the strongest mage of Fiore!" Lector exclaims.
"You're right but I've already agreed moreover I suggested it. I can't back down now, I mean I've got a reputation to lose … "
