To say that Bella was bored was an understatement.

The man Jura stood there staring at her.

"well if you are not going to make the first move" bella said and disappeared from sight as she cloaked herself and carefully moved around the arena ignoring the alarmed shocked gasps and whispers as they tried to figure out where she had gone.

"where did she go?" The announcer questioned

 In fact she was in plain sight. Bella watched Jura, from what Mirajane told her about him, this guy was able to control the earth.

Bella knelt down to the ground and placed her hands to the ground.

She could feel the movement as he looked for her. 

Ever movement could be felt. Quietly she willed the earth to obey her as vines shot up through the ground and grass shot up covering the field surrounding them.  

Carefully she moved through the grass as it parted a way for her.

she walked in the direction that he was at.

Feeling the ground move she moved the the side quickly as a large block shaped piece of earth shot up.

Bella closed her eyes and willed the earth to stay still as she continued her way through the maze of grass. 

It didn't take her too long to find Jura. She stayed back enough to watch him, but far enough away to remain undetected. 

"why are you hiding?" he asked as he looked around.

Bella refused to answer. that was one rule to remember when trying to sneak up on a person.

Never make a sound. 

*one chance, make it count* she thought as she pulled out a blow dart and a dart that was laced with a sleep toxin.

Carefully raising it to her lips.

*this may not be enough to put him down. but it will slow him down at least* she thought as the dart streaked through the grass and his the man in the back of the neck. 

Jura brought his hand to the back of his neck surprised and pulled the dart from his neck and stared at it in surprise. 

Bella quickly moved from her spot and relocated to a different spot.

She could tell the toxic was beginning to work as he began reacting to it, fighting to stay awake.

a pillar shot up from the ground on the opposite side of the field.

She carefully walked up behind him.

She gave a whistle. 

He turned around surprised but not before Bella stabbed something right into his stomach causing him to drop to the ground unconscious. 

Bella sighed a little bit and made the grass go back down into the earth revealing the two of them.

The stadium was quiet as they all tried to process what had happened. 

Bella turned and walked away from the unconscious man. 

"we-well i don't know what just happened, but...it is clear who the winner is here folks" The announcer said hesitantly as Fairy tail erupted in cheers.

Bella went back up to the Team B and was greeted by a squealing Mirajane who hugged her tightly. 

"How did you do that?" Laxus asked. 

Bella held up the dart. "sleeping toxin" she replied with a shrug. 

"that's it?" Gajeel asked. 

"uh huh," bella replied with a shrug. "Mirajane told me he was able to...more or less control the earth, that could have turned into a huge battle, but the point of this round was just to defeat him. I defeated him without using up my strength and energy by literally, just out smarting him. He didn't expect it." Bella explained. 

"well it is a win for us" Laxus said with a shrug not really caring as they left the stadium and went to the motel. 

Bella walked up to the bar and was immediately given a cup of beer.

"i was going to ask for a glass of water but ok" she mumbled as she took the drink as she shook her head and walked over to a table with Mirajane. 

"you know it feels good to be the one getting served every once in a while" Mirajane said with a sigh as she sat there relaxing.

Bella raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to her. 

"oh really" Bella asked flirting in a teasing way. Mirajane realizing what she said and blushed.

Bella laughed at her reaction and took a drink from her cup.

She could feel the tingling automatically.

Bella put a head phone in her ear and put her music up.

She was still able to hear everything around her but she was thoroughly enjoying the music at the same time.

After a little while of drinking and just hanging out with Mirajane everyone was back at the motel. 

"Alright listen up now that all you brats are here! I'd like to make a toast. today we lost and you know what that means don't cha? Tomorrow climb to the top, because Fairy tail never backs down and will not start now!" Makarov yelled completely drunk.

"THE GREATEST GUILD IN FIORE IS US!" he hollered causing every member in fairy tail to cheer out. 

It hit Bella like lightning.

This was a group of people that she could live her life with.

This was a guild that she could hang with. Win or lose this was a family.

She felt excitement rush through her as she downed her drink.

She was sure she had plenty to drink but they continued to come and she didn't have the heart to stop it. 

"You guys are going to turn me into an alcoholic!" Bella exclaimed after her 3rd glass.

"hey Bella what are you listening to?" Macao asked seeing her jamming out in her seat. 

"my music" Bella replied. 

"Music? what type of music. We wanna hear" Waccaba said. 

Bella looked over at them but then shrugged. "got any speakers?" she asked.

about half an hour later bella's music was blaring through speakers that the bartender had found.

Bella was up on the table dancing and jamming out to the music.

Anyone drunk was cheering her on while the others were either dancing alone or trying to get drunk. 

"I seriously don't think this is a scene for little kids" Lucy commented. 

"My life isn't a scene for little kids" Bella called down to her. 

"We put Aska to sleep already, Romeo is watching her for us" Bisca said to lucy.

"thank god for small miracles." Lucy sweat dropped.
