Natsu POV~
Third quarter was about to start and FT was ahead by three points.
We where in position and I was gonna play all the way this quarter. We stayed in position as the referee had the ball in the middle.
*Whistle*
Gajeel caught it and passed it to his team. In this case he passed it to Alzack. They started jogging towards us while we positioned ourselfs in our area. I was infront and as soon as Alzack passed the center line, I sprinted towards him and started guarding him. He looked suprised for a moment but passed the ball. But as soon as he let it go i grabbed it and ran to the basket since the mayority of the player's where on this side of the court, giving me an open area.
In the way i was blocked by Bickslow so I decided to do a quick crossover. I slowed down and leaned right to look like i was going to run in that direction. He did the same and I reacted by quickly moving left with the ball and ran past him and did a hook shot.
Lucy's POV~
"Sugoi!!!! Did you see that!?"
"The guy has skill!!!"
"I know right! Weird I didnt notice him till now..."
"He looks oddly familiar too! But I cant put my finger on it."
I looked at the group of poeple talking behind me and sighed loudly catching their attention.
"Of course he looks familiar. He's Natsu Dragneel for peeps sake!!!" I excalimed.
"Really?!?!?" They and a few others exclaimed.
"It was pretty obvious!!!! The spiky pink-"
"SALMON!!!"
"-hair, slightly tann skin. I mean c'mon!!!" Levy exclaimed next to me.
They looked at Natsu for a moment and nodded.
"That does look like him. But why is he playing with Saberthoot?"
"Coach Taurus didn't want him in his team because of him being a smarty pants, so he decided to prove him wrong by playing with ST." Erza said and they nodded.
"That doesn't sound fair that's for sure. We'll make sure to cheer him on so coach will let him play for our school!" A girl said and the others from FT high shouted in agreement.
I smiled and turned back around to the game to see Natsu looking at us.
He grinned and went to position with ST. 'Guess he herd us. He and his amazing hearing.'
I then took a glance at FT and noticed Gajeel was looking at Levy.
I turned to her and tapped her shoulder. She looked at me.
"I think Gajeel's looking at you." I whispered to her and she gasped slightly. She turned her head to look at him and he immediately turned around.
"Dont mean to intrude but, did Gajeel just adverted your gaze?" Erza asked. I looked back at Levy to see her with sad eyes.
She let out a sigh and slumped in her seat.
"He's been avoiding me ever since the sleepover at Natsu's for some reason. He never looks at me anymore or t-teases me. I-I don't know w-what I did wrong either." She said tears starting to form in her eyes.
I looked at Jellal to see him looking at her in guilt and holding back like he wanted to tell her something. He caught my gaze and returned to watching the game.
'What is it that you're hiding Fernandez...'
Back to Natsu's POV~
Back in position, FT had the ball with Freed who was jogging towards us. He then passed it to Alzack when he was guarded by a guy from ST.
Alzack ran towards the basket and jumped to shoot but was blocked by Dobengal who also jumped. Alzack smiled while throwing the ball behind him only to have Gajeel grab it and dunk it over Dobengal.
"Not bad Metal face." I said looking at him with a small smirk.
"Gee Hee! That ain't half what I can do Salamander." He said smirking and going to position.
We had the ball now. A guy from ST took out the ball and passed it to me. I started walking towards FT with the ball when that guy from FT sprinted towards me to guard me.
I then started playing with the ball, passing It between my legs repeatedly as he tried to grab it.
I smirked as I saw him with a bewildered look.
I then spoted Rogue and passed the ball to him and ran to the basket. He nodded understanding what I was planning and threw the ball my direction. I jumped and grabbed it and just as I was about to slam it Gajeel apeared in the air infront of me with a smirk.
I returned the smirk while I grabbed the ball with one hand and put it behind my back and threw it making it over him amn straight in to the basket.
We both landed and I saw the surprise in hia face and the whole FT team. Coach, Gray and Gajeel's face was the funiest tho.
"Go Natsu!!!"
"That's our Nerd!!!"
I smiled as I herd some of FT 'and ST' students cheering for me.
It's only been a whole minute wich is weird. It feels like more but im not complaining.
FT took had the ball now and Gajeel was walking towards us with the ball. He passed it to Alzack who was about to shoot but was guarded by Rogue. Alzack then backed away a bit and passed it to that guy from FT whos name I still dont know. He went to the basket and jumped but I sprinted towards him and before he could I block him by hitting the ball towards a guy of ST.
He grabbed it and started running towards the opposite basket as well as the other players.
He then stoped as he was being guardes by Freed. Passed the ball to me and located Rogue who was at the three shot line.
I swiftly passed it to him and he grabbed it and successfully made the basket.
The game kept going on and on. Points and more point by each team. Some of the shots where blocked or missed but that didnt stop neither of the teams.
Dobengal isn't the type to do distance shots so he always thre closer to the basket. Three random guys of ST also did a few baskets Rogue did a bunch of them too. I did most of them tho. Not trying to be cocky but I want to play for FT. The only way I can do that is to show coach Perv what I've got.
FT is also really good. Freed was more of a three shot thrower while Bickslow was a hook shooter. Gajeel also did a lot of shots while the guy that used to bother me and Alzack did closer shots.
The quarter was a bit slow but we made a good amount of points so.
Right now it was 69 to 73 ST in the lead by one point and.
Rogue had the ball and was jogging towards the basket. We 'me and the rest of ST' where getting in position.
Rogue passed the center line and passed the ball to one of ST guy's who passed it to Dobengal who was a bit closer to the basket.
He then ran closer to the basket and passed it back to Rogue who was at the three point line when he was guarded. I then sneaked my way to the front and Rogue saw this. He threw the ball towards the basket but it wasn't gonna go in so I jumped and dunked the ball when it was next to the hoop.
*Whistle*/"TIME OUT!!!!!!!!"
The quarter ended and at the same time, coach Taurus asked for a time out.
I looked at him to see him looking at me. He motioned his hand to come over to him.
"Nani?" I asked and he moved closer, towering over me.
"As your coach I command you to play in FT! You're moooooore of a basketball player then I thought. " he said and I put on a poker face.
"iie."
"EH!?!?!?!?" He and the FT player's yelled.
"Ch-chotto Natsu-san. I thought the purpose of you playing was to make him change his mind about you not playing and then play with them." Sting said apearing next to me. 'He also has good hearing'
"Yeah well I changed my mind" I said crossing my arms. Then I looked at the coach with a big smirk. "Unless he's willing to beg."
"No way! You're asking me to put my pride at risk!?" He exclaimed angered.
"What about the schools pride? Don't you think that'll be more affected?" Max asked and the coach still shook his head.
"What will the girls think of me?!?!" He said and we all sweat drop.
"We're not into you, you big pervert!!! Now let the Ner- I mean Natsu play!!!" We turned to see everyone looking at us.
"Yeah let him play!"
Soon everyone was yelling at the coach to let me play. I was just looking at everyone with wide suprised eyes.
"...Min'na..." I whispered feeling a wave of happiness come over me. Then I felt an arm over shoulder.
"Looks like they're warming up to you Flame Brain." Gray said with a big smile. I gave a big smile myself.
"Fine! Please play for us! Represent your school! I'm sorry for thinking you where to 'Nerdy' to play! Mooooo!!!"
"Hhmmm...I don't know. ST treats me nicely compared to you. Will you guys be nicer?" I said and was received by a punch in the head and the aanother arm wrap over my shoulder on top of Gray's. "Itte!"
"That ain't happenin' Salamander. You alredy have a win 'cause coach let ya play so don't think you can get some'n else from that." Gajeel said with a smirk and I pouted but nodded. But a smile crept his way into my lips.
"Fine. Let's play! I'm all fired up!!!" I yelled excitedly.
I went to change uniforms and came out with white baskeatball uniform with black and red lines. (A/N: Didnt know what colors to put so I just used KNB one's)
We went to the court and everybody started cheering.
It was me, Gray, Gajeel, Laxus and Loke vs. Sting, Rogue, Rufus, Orga and a random guy.
*Whistle*
We caught the ball with Laxus and he pased it to Gajeel who ran towards the basket with us close behind him.
He then passed it to Gray who was at the three point line. He then was guarded by Rufus.
Gray then did a quick spin and ran around him and made a shot. I was close to them so I herd them do a quick chat.
"I don't remember you being this good Fullbuster."
"Time's change Rufus. I never loose twice."
'What was that about?'
Now ST had the ball. Rogue was jogging his way towards us and when he reached us he moved quickly almost like a shadow.
He then passed it to Sting who dunked the ball.
Now we had the ball again. I took it out and passed it to Gray who jogged his way to the center line. He then passed it to Loke so he could make a three pointer.
Loke was about to shoot.
"KYAAAA~~~!!! GO LOKE~~~!!!"
And then he stopped mid way as he looked at some girls on the bleachers that where cheering for him. He then dropped the ball while making his way to them leaving us dumbfounded in our spots.
"WTFLOCK LOKE!?!?!" Gajeel yelled as Loke flirted with the girls forgetting the game.
"I'll handle this." Laxus mumbled sprinting to the ball before a Saber member could and swiftly did the three point shot.
"You idiot!!! Come here!!!" Gajeel yelled grabbing Loke by the collar and dragging him back to the court.
"I'll talk to you girl later. Please make sure to cheer me on. I dont think I could play without hearing your beautiful voic-"
"Ehhhhhhhh shut up!!!" I said slaping him behind the head.
The game kept going and neither team was giving up.
The intensity of the game rose as their was less than a minute left in the last quarter. Sixteen seconds to be more exact. We where all breathing heavily as we gave it our all this last quarter.
88 to 90 and FT is still behind by two point's. Their isnt time to play two shots but only one. So we had a lot of pressure.
"Ikuso! Fairy Tail!" Laxus yelled.
"YEAH!!!!"
16...
ST had the ball and where heading our way with Rufus.
15...
He passed the ball to Sting who passed it to Rouge. Rogue was at the three point line but was being guarded by Loke.
14..
Rogue passed it behind his back to some ST guy who was at further back but was the only one that could recive the ball because of our high defense.
13...
The guy looked around to see if there was someone free.
12...
Then he passed it to Sting who managed to get away from me for a bit.
11...
Sting ran to the basket and did a shot. I jumped like him and was able to touch the ball causing him to miss.
10...
"REBOUND!!!" Coach yelled as Gajeel caught the ball under the basket and passed it to Loke who then was guarded.
9...
"Loke!!!" I yelled and he passed me the ball and I took a quick glance at the clock.
8...
I started running as fast as I could to the basket hoping that I could make it.
7...
'Kso! Im not gonna make it!' I thought noticing that I wasn't even half way to the court yet. And with no one infront it was up to me.
6...
'There isn't any more time to get there. Only one thing left to do...'
5...
4...
I then stopped still a few inches behind the center line and threw the ball to the basket.
3...
I closed my eyes as it all fell silent as the ball approached the basket in slow motion.
2...

------------------------------------------------
*Buzzer sound*
I heard the buzzer but I didn't dare to open my eyes. After a few seconds I herd loud screams coming my way making me think the worst. Then I was tackled to the floor by a bunch of bodies.
"Itte! Gomenasai!!! I know It's my fault that we lost but I didn't think you guy's would be so brutal about it!" I said opening my eyes to see my team on top of me looking at me with confused faces.
"What are you talking about Flame Brain? We won!!!" Gray said getting up and helping me up.
"...Eh?" I said with a shocked/confused face and glanced at the point board.
91 to 90
"That was a nice shot." Laxus said and I still had a shocked/confused face. The fact that he said that made me more shocked.
"We...did it?...OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
YEAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" I yelled from excitement and started jumping out of happiness with the team. Except Laxus and Freed. They just walked away with smiles.
Then I was tackled again but by a lighter 'kinda' body so this time I was able to hold my ground with the person that was infront of me.
"Congratulations!!! You did it Natsu!!!" I looked down to see Lucy hugging me while giving me a big smile.
I blushed massively but put a grin on my face as I wrapped my arms around her too.
"Arigatou Luce!!! I said then I averted my gaze to the benches with big hopeful eyes. Then a look of disappointment coverd my face as I looked down to Lucy who looked at me worried.
"Where's Zeref-nii?"
------------------------------------------------
Now I'll say again. Hope you enjoyed!
I did it extra long just because!
Since I finally got the basketball scene wich costed me a lot of time done, I xan get to the other stuff!
Happy Holiday!
God bless!
