"Alright! Time to patch you up!" Jake yelled as Porlyusica and him began to bandage almost all of Elfmans body. Fairy Tail Team A was here along with Evergeen, Freed, and Lisanna who was sitting next to Elfmans bed. "It would appear that we may all have somewhat underestimated the power of your manly spirit. Your tenacity and uncanny ability to withstand even the harshest of beatings is unrivalled in our guild. This was an important victory and you've given us the momentum to keep winning." Erza said as I leaned on the wall behind them, this was their victory after all so I didn't want to intrude. "I don't know if I've ever heard such high praises from Erza before." Lucy said as she looked at Erza in awe while I looked at the mummy in front of me with a small smirk. "Well the big guy defiantly earned it, I'll say." Gray said as Natsu clutched his hand tightly while he smirked at Elfman. "You were totally on fire out there today man!" Natsu yelled as he had huge smile on his face while Elfman turned towards him. "Thanks guys...I'm starting to feel like I'm at my own funeral or something-Ngh!" Elfman said in a raspy voice while he groaned in pain when Lisanna put a wet rag on his head. "I don't know why anyone's surprised. Taking a beating has always been your strong suit." Lisanna said to us as she was trying to cheer him up a bit, but I knew someone was going to ruin it for Elfman. "Sorry bro! But that's a pretty lame strong suit!" Natsu said as he crossed his arms while I heard Jake laugh in the background. "SHUT UP NATSU!! YOU'RE THE EXACT SAME WAY!!" Elfman yelled as Jake chuckled a few more times while I sighed at them. "I think what you did out there today was super impressive Elfman!" Wendy said as she smiled at Elfman while I looked off to the side and closed my eyes. "I really do appreciate the kind words guys, but Wendy's gonna have to tag back in." "Right!" Wendy yelled as she nodded her head to Efman while I saw Porlyusica stand up. "Now this is all very nice, but you mustn't lose focus. Get back to the Games. You have to study your opponents if you want to beat them." Porlyusica said as she looked at the others with a straight face while Natsu looked at her with a smirk. "We definitely wanna beat them! See ya later!" Natsu yelled as he began to walk towards the door while he waved at Elfman. I walked out the door first as the others were behind me while Jake stood next to me. "Did you see Elfmans fight Star?" Lucy asked me as she smiled at me while she stood next to me. "Yea, I did. He foug-well took the beatings pretty strong. I've know Bacchus for awhile and I've never seen him go down. Elfman sure got stronger." I told Lucy as she smiled at me while I gave her a small smile. "So, Mira is suppose to be going up next?" I asked out loud as I looked at the others over my shoulder while they nodded their heads. "Yea, I wonder who she's going to face." Gray said as I nodded my head while I closed my eyes for a bit, letting out a long tired sigh. "What's the matter?" Gray asked as he stood where Lucy was while he gave me a worried look. "Just tired is all, though I don't want to miss anything." I told Gray as I rubbed my eyes while I looked down at the ground with a frown. 'It's more like I don't want Rabo trying anything with any of you. I fear that he would just come out while I'm asleep or something.' "Why are you so tired? You went to sleep early, since you weren't at the bar the other night." Erza said as she looked at me with a confused look while I sighed and pointed next to me. "This idiot snores too loud and I can't get any sleep with pig over here." I told her as I side glanced Jake while Jake looked at me in shock. "Whhhhaa!! I don't snore!! Maybe it's you!! You have no prof that it's me!!" Jake yelled as he pointed at himself while I gave him the 'oh really' look. I pulled out my little lacrima rock as I held it out in front of me while the others looked confused. "Why do you have a lacrima rock?" Lucy asked as she looked at the rock in confusion while I shrugged my shoulders. "This lacrima rock can record if I press a certain area. Look." I told them as I pressed on the bottom of the rock while a hologram of Jake came into view. In the hologram, you see Jake laying on his stomach while he snored loudly, so loud that probably the whole stadium heard it. "T-That's not me!! YOU COULD HAVE EDIT IT AND-" "Yea...and how am I suppose to do that on a rock? Your mouth is even open!!" I told Jake as I pointed at his mouth, which had a bit of drool on the side while the others began to laugh. "Okaayyy~! You've seen enough!!" Jake yelled as he took the lacrima away from me while Gray and the others laughed hard, I only chuckled a little. "You wanna laugh Star? Ok! Then laugh at this!" Jake yelled as he went inside his pocket and brought out two familiar pictures that I knew so well while my eye widen. "JAKE!!" Gray and I yelled as our faces turned a little red while we looked at the two pictures. "Awww! You guys are so-" "Don't even say it!! Jake!! I'm gonna kill you!!" I yelled as I ran at him, but Jake quickly put the pictures in his pocket while he ran near Lucy and Wendy. "HELP ME GUUYS!!" Jake yelled as he ran away from me while I jumped on his back and had him in a head lock. "Jake you dumbass! You're-" "Alright Star, that's enough." Erza said as she walked up to us while I glared at Jake and her. "You sleep in my room Jake, remember that when you suddenly stop breathing." I threatened Jake as he shivered slightly then smiled big at me while his ears slightly twitched. "YOU LOVE ME!!" Jake yelled as he gave me a bear hug, squishing me tightly while I hugged him back. "These are really good pictures Jake. They look like they were taken by a professional!" I quickly looked at Lucy only to see her, Wendy, Carla, and Erza looking at them with a slight blush on their cheeks. "Hey!-JAKE LET ME GOO!!" I yelled as I tried to get out of his bear hug, but he had a good grip on me while he laughed slightly at me. "Nope~! And thank you Lucy! They were just soo cute together! I couldn't help myself!" Jake said as he squished me harder while I growled and glared at him. "Awwww~ Gray~ You're blushing~!" Lucy teased as she poked Gray's cheek while I saw Grays cheeks turn even more red. "DON'T SAY THAT!!" Gray and I yelled while Lucy just laughed at us as I tried to push Jake away from me. "Here you go Jake." Lucy said as Jake suddenly let go of me, causing me to fall on the floor while he took the pictures away from Lucy. "Thank you~ Into the safe you go!" Jake yelled as he put the pictures in his pocket while he looked down at me with a smile. "Ohh~ What's this~? Is Star blushing~?" Jake teased as I glared at him while I crossed my arms over my chest, still sitting on the floor. "Leave me alone." I mumbled as I pouted like a child on the floor while the others laughed at me. "Tch." I looked away from them then smiled a little as I saw all their smiling faces while I felt my face soften a bit. "Getting close to your loved ones will only get them killed~" I frowned slightly as I heard Rabo's words in my head while I looked at them all smiling and laughing. "Staying with them will only bring death. You will kill them because of your misfortune. Your hands will be tainted with their-" "SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! I don't want to hear your lies!" I got up from the ground which made the others stop laughing while I glared at the ground, clutching my hands tightly. "We should go. We don't want to miss Mira's fight." I told them a little too harshly as I began to walk away from them while I stopped in the middle of the hall. "You know, I'll see you guys there later. I'm going to be out for awhile. Bye." I told them as I went into the shadow lands then reappeared in that beautiful lake while I sat on the big rock. 'He can't find me here.'
