"MINNA!" Mira roared over the cheers and ruckus the 12 members of Fairytail who turned up for the party, were making in her home. "First of all happy New Year everybody!" Mira said as she raised her glass, which was followed by 12 more raised glasses and cheers. "Secondly! In the spirit of celebration I have Organised a little game for all of us!" "Noooooo" came the collective groan from the members of the party. "And this is why no one turned up except us." Gajeel mumbled in the corner.

"SHUT UP AND DO AS I SAY!" Mira bellowed in her satan soul voice before converting back into her smiling self. This shut everyone up and they looked at her, gulping nervously.

"Alright now that there are no complaints, let me explain the rules of this game to you. You guys are going to break up into sets of two depending on the names I call. Now each pair will get a map with an 'X' marked at different point and they will all follow the path that I have marked precisely to get to the 'X'. Well you can't go off course even if you try, thanks to Freed." "That 2 faced liar! No wonder he didn't come!" Bixslow shouted angrily.

Mira just giggled innocently and continued, "In the spirit of fairness however I will be participating as well so don't get too bent outta shape. Also the 'X' will be a present for you guys. The exceeds don't have to ply unless they want to." Mira said and turned her head towards the 2 exceeds, who shook their head vehemently before sprouting their wings and flying to Wendy's house, leaving the she-demon and her evil schemes far behind them.

Mira giggle again and continued, "Alrighty then, The challenge is that there will be runes all along ur path telling you to do different things or answer different questions these runes are similar to the ones used during the 'battle of the fairies' so I'm sure you all know how it works." Everyone let out a reluctant 'yes'.

"Alright! So the one who collects their gift and comes back to the house first wins! Now, Let's get started shall we!" Mira said excitedly. "Ok first of we have Gajeel and Levy!" She called out and handed them a map. "Lissanna and Bixslow are next." Bixslow snatched the map, muttering betrayer the whole time while Lissanna tried to calm him down. "Next is Natsu and Lucy." They just high fived and took their map, announcing that they would win for sure! "Laxus and I are next" Mira said taking their map. "And finally Gray and Juvia." She handed an ecstatic Juvia the last map before smirking at the group. She truly was an evil genius.

"Alright group! From this moment on we are all enemies! May the best pair win! And Start!"
