Chapter 7: The Ball

Lucy:
"Woah! Lu-chan you look incredible!" Levy exclaimed as she stepped into my room, it'd been over two hours since we all got back to the palace after the play. And after having a calming hot drink, some cake and seeing a therapist, Erza was fine too.
I was wearing a navy blue gown with gold trim that came to a strapless sweetheart shape around my bust, the skirt hung low with a slit up the left side and was laden with gems that had a starry effect.
My sleeves were transparent, gold, off shoulder puffed, extending down to my forearm. I wore three inch matte gold heels and my hair was wavy and loose, intricately curled, a navy blue bow tying it up into half up at the back, it was courtesy of Cancer.
I only wore light makeup, a dusting of powder, mascara and a touch of pink lip gloss, my nails were gold like my heels and sleeves. I blushed slightly at the solid script mage's comment,
"You look incredible too Levy-chan!" She was wearing a simple but sweet marigold dress, descending to her knees, a white silk ribbon secured her waist, long transparent trumpet sleeves protruded from her shoulders and five inch white sandals accompanied her look, with straps crossing up to her knees. To top it all off her hair was a beautiful blue mess with a gold headband wrapped around the bangs, and you could see her baby bump!
"I'm sure Natsu will be speechless" she commented slyly, I hid my face in my hands "Levy chan! Don't tease!...but do you think so?" I looked at her hopefully, she nodded and winked
"Of course, any guy who doesn't think you look drop dead gorgeous is insane!"
A loud knock sounded on the door followed by a redhead barging in
"Lucy, Levy! Get downstairs already! It's starting!" She barked, I turned to face Erza, she looked me up and down in amazement "Lucy why you look amazing in everything you wear?"
"Uhm I don-"
"THAT WAS A RHETORICAL QUESTION!" The raging Titania was in a black and crimson gown with an eastern vibe, it had a halter neck and the skirts hung flatly with a slit running down the side, the other side was attached to her wrist with a golden band, she wore jewellery and her scarlet hair was in a plaited bun, she looked beautiful. "You look great Erza!"
"Th- Thanks! Anyway, come downstairs!" She stuttered with a pink tinge in her cheeks, embarrassed and a little tipsy. Levy and I looked at each other and chuckled
"What's so funny!?" She snapped, requiping a sword, I screamed slightly and threw my arms up in surrender, as did Levy "Nothing! Sorry ma'am!" We cried simultaneously before running out of the room.
I picked up my skirts so I didn't trip and rushed along the hallway so Erza wouldn't rage at us.
"Lucy! Levy!" Wendy exclaimed excitedly from the bottom of the stairway, she looked very mature. Her lilac dress was trumpet shaped with bell sleeves and a sweetheart neckline.
"Hi Wendy!" I called waving cheerfully as I continued down the stairs. I looked around the grand room, and smiled as I watched the scene unfold.
Gray and Lyon had their foreheads smashed together whilst Juvia watched from the sidelines, Freed was shooing fangirls away from Laxus, The trimen were going around complimenting all the ladies, Ichiya was attempting to sing, couples like Elfman and Evergreen and Sherry and Ren were dancing, Quattro Cerberus were screaming "wild" and egging Cana to chug, Sting was offering drinks to strangers and Erza was having a flustered conversation with Jellal who had apparently decided to show up. Some thing's never change....how did Erza get downstairs so quickly?
My eyes finally fell upon a mop of pink hair. Natsu, surprisingly, wasn't cramming food in his mouth for once, he stood observing the room with a very bored expression. He looked handsome, he was wearing neat black pants, polished black shoes, a burgundy waistcoat over the top of a white shirt rolled up at the sleeves, and to top it off he wore his signature scarf.

I dusted my skirts, a smile forming on my face and I made my way over to him. "Nat-" I began to call out, but someone bumped into me and I toppled over, falling to the ground with a "pomf" sound as my skirts surrounded me.
"I'm awfully sorry mis- Oh, Lucy!" I looked up to see Luka standing above me, grinning and stretching out a hand. I took it and he hoisted me up with seemingly no effort. Luka was wearing a black suit with a grey waistcoat beneath, a white shirt with a navy blue tie complimented it, his hair was combed neatly and his face was clean shaven.
"Lucy you look beautiful..." he stated looking me up and down, my cheeks began to flush "aw, thanks Luka!" I laughed nervously, tucking a stray hair behind my ear.
"I believe I offered you a dance yesterday?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Natsu:
I was stood near the food table. Slowly edging closer, it's not like me to not dive in to the food as soon as I got to a shin dig like this but...I didn't wanna throw up on Lucy this time.
A string of dribble rolled down my chin as I stared longingly at the stuffed crab.
"Aw, thanks Luka!"
Lucy? I tore my eyes away from the steaming array of food and looked up to see Lucy speaking to none other than carrot top. A growl escaped my throat as I glared at him, then I noticed what Lucy was wearing...and oh boy did she look beautiful...
I began walking towards them.
"I believe I offered you a dance yesterday?"
Luka lead Lucy to the dancing area and they began to pace around the floor.
I felt something inside me sink, my breath tightened as I watched Lucy laughing at his jokes, dancing with him. I scowled as a fire began to grow in the pit of my stomach. He can't have her.

To be continued...
