Chapter 4
Parties, Games and Very, Very Confused Mages

Juvia's P.O.V

Well, I can certainly say that was a disaster.

You see, when Wendy arrived at the guild (along with Lydia and Reiki) we immediately got to work. Streamers, banners, desserts and food. But for some reason, this guilds gotta go overboard.... Meaning: glowing, floating lanterns that change colors, a ginormous, colorful dance floor and lots and lots of money spent on food.

Now, the actual party was awesome! Dancing, laughing, Lydia even gave a speech! It felt like a home, it was perfect.

It's what happened afterwards that really was disastrous.

Lydia announced that we will be performing in the Grand Magic Games, which means we will most likely be against Fairy Tail. The contestants for the games will be me, Rin, Wendy Cassandra and Lucy. Sierra wanted all her new members in the games so that she can show off the skills we've earned from our training.

Then, Sierra looked around, "Also, these games.... It's been suggested that you make an alliance with your closest friendly guild... For us, that's Fairy Tail. I'm sorry guys, I know you have a history with them-"

"Juvia thinks it's fine."

Wendy and Lucy nod, "Yeah, we've got you guys anyways." Lucy agrees, smiling.

Sierra nods and grins, "Then it's settled! We need to go and form the alliance...now."

Our smiles immediately drop.

"Alright everyone, let's go!" Everyone marches out the door, the walk feeling like an eternity. When we finally reach the guild, Sierra walks up to the doors and pushes them open.

Immediately, the entire guild looks up and me, Lucy and Wendy hide behind the other members of our guild. Natsu walks up, clearly trying to find the leader....good luck with that, Natsu.

"Who's your leader?" Told you...

"That would be me." Sierra, at the front, raises her hand. "Now, if you'd only let me pass, then I could maybe speak to your master about a guild alliance?"

"Do you have that authority?" Erza asks, also walking over.

Sierra laughs, "Of course! What do you think? This is my entire guild, Shock Wave, and I'm the master! So yeah, I've got that authority! Now, as I was saying about letting me pass...."

"Your the master?! Your so...young."

Sierra narrows her eyes, uh oh... "Who said that?" Her eyes scan the room and land on Gray. She walks over to him and lifts him by his shirt, "I'll have you know I worked long and hard to put my guild together. So don't treat me different than any other master. I want respect, for both me and my guild-"

"Yeah! Whoohoo! Go get'm!" Cassie and Jack cheer.

"Except for those two." Gray nods his head and she drops him, then turns to the stunned guild. "Come on, where's your master?"

They point her to his office and she leaves, leaving the rest of us here with Fairy Tail. They haven't noticed us yet though.

"Hey! I challenge you to a duel!" Natsu points to someone random, and it just so happens to be Rin. Oh no...

He scoffs, "Sure, whatever."

"FIRE DRAGON RO-"

"Nope." He lifts two hands and a wave of water hits Natsu. "Learn to read an opponents magic, learn the elements too." He tilts his head. "Water snuffs out fire, simple as that. That's the only reason I can win against you."

Over in the corner, I try not to laugh. So do Wendy and Lucy, however, Jack and Cassie don't have as much restraint. They're practically rolling around on the floor, laughing so hard that they're gasping for air.

"Hey! Don't laugh!" Natsu growls, now soaking wet.

"Oh yeah? What'ya gunna do about it, huh?" Cassie challenges.

Natsu charges at them, but ends up going through them and hitting a wall. The real devious twins are in the rafters, laughing their butts off again.

Except, now, the guild can clearly see the girls in the corner. At first, they just stare....

".....LUCY!"
".....WENDY!"
"......JUVIA!"

They all yell at the same time, before tackling us in hugs. We squirm and kick, but it doesn't seem to work.

"THEY'RE BACK!"

"WHERE WERE YOU GUYS?"

"HEY!" Sierra, from the second floor balcony, slams her hand against a wall, making the whole building shudder. "HANDS OFF MY GUILD MEMBERS!"

"Yours? They're our guild members!" Natsu yells.

"No, actually-"

"They're ours! They went missing! You must have kidnapped them!"

"Juvia thinks-"

"Get'em!"

"SHUT UP YOU FRICKIN' IDIOTS!" Lydia growls, "Back, back, all of you!" The guild backs away from us.

"They came to us, while they were upset. They tried to hide it, but we knew they were! Now, we tried to make them feel at home, we didn't ask any questions, we did our best! But now I'm pretty sure I know why they came to us, it was because of your guild, wasn't it?"

"No it wasn't!" Natsu yells.

"You don't remember?" Lucy asks him quietly. He looks over at her in confusion.

"What you did?" Wendy asks Carla.

"What all of you did?!" I yell. "We didn't like that! I didn't like that! You attacked us!" I shake my head in disbelief. "You attacked us, with your magic, and you're saying you don't remember?"

"I don't believe this." Wendy shakes her head. "You can't expect us to just forgive you!"

"No, we didn't...I.. Lucy...?" Cana asks.

"It's true, you did do horrible things to us. We can't forgive you." Lucy shakes her head.

"It's them, isn't it?!" Natsu points to Sierra, "They tricked you! We're gunna get revenge! You'll come back then, right Lucy?"

"No."

"Juvia?" Gray asks.

"Never."

"Wendy?" Carla questions.

"Not gunna happen."

"Well, no guild alliance then! We'll leave!" Sierra jumps off the balcony and onto the ground. "Off we go!!!" She marches out the door, the guild in tow.

"We're gunna get you back! We're going to show our guild members that we care! Because we're family!" Natsu declares.

Sierra spins on her heel and marches up to him. "Yeah, you're right. You are family, but, you're also not the boss of those three hurt girls back there." She stands straight in front of him and stares him down.

"If they want to come back to their family, they will. But you can't decide when, or even if they will. It's their choice, people get their own choices. While I may not agree with them not forgiving you, I don't disagree either. What I'm really mad about is that you blame us, you blame my family. And Lucy and Juvia and Wendy are a part of that family, so it is their choice to stay or leave."

She pauses, locked in an intense stare down.

"Not yours."

She spins on her heel again and marches out the door.
