No One's P.O.V

Mira knocked on the door and waited patiently for it to open. "What's taking them so long?" Master complained, crossing his arms on his small chest.

"Be patient Master." Mira began in her sweet usual tone. "They still might be asleep." A few seconds later, the door was opened by Jellal.

"Master!" Jellal acts surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"Came to check up on you brats..." He trailed off, walking past Jellal and enters the living room.

"Hm..." He begins to walk around the couch, crouching down to see if there was anything under there. "Nothing seems to be unusual here..." He trails off.

"Gramps!" Natsu appears from the hallway, like a child waiting to open his Christmas presents. "You're here!"

"Yeah I'm here! Did you brats cause any trouble?"

"Hm... Not that I could remember." Natsu ponders, making the small man sigh in frustration. Slowly the rest of the gang came spilling into the room.

"Master." The red haired girl greeted in her usual tone. "How was your trip from the guild?"

"Good." He replied. But before he could say another word, the younger white haired mage ran into the room.

"Natsu~!" Lisanna exclaimed, jumping into his arms. Natsu stood frozen and felt rather uncomfortable as he greeted the girl with his usual smile.

The only problem was that his usual smile, wasn't the same smile he greeted with Lucy. I mean yeah, he was her friend. He loved her like a sister, but sometimes, she always acted a bit too flirty with him.

"I haven't seen you awhile~" She continues, after she parts from him. "Yeah... What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see you of course!"

"Okay! Okay!" Mira interrupts, slightly annoyed. She never liked NaLi at all, even if it was her sister.

"Us girls should get back to the hotel." She begins.

"Why sis?" Her sister asks innocently. "Why can't we stay--"

"We can't!" Mira exclaims rather loudly, quickly thinking of a reason. "It's because....we're going out tonight!"

"We are?!" The rest of the gang exclaims in a whiny tone.

Mira nods, satisfied with her reason. "That is why we need to go!"

She looks at the girls, who we're in still in continuous chatter. "Now!" She barks, a dark aura immediately surrounding her. The girls screamed in horror and rushed out the room.

Her head darted to the boys who flinched at her glare, "Meet us downstairs." They said nothing and just silently nodded. "Good~!" She walks out the door. "Don't forget to wear the clothes on your beds!"

Lucy's P.O.V

I felt the strings in my heart being tugged roughly... Why?

"Lu-chan? Are you okay?" I flickered my head to Levy's voice. She was holding up two outfits on either hand and gave me a worried look.

"I'm fine!" I reassured. "Now you were saying." She sighed and approached the bed, to where I was sitting. "Lu-chan.." She began. "I've been your friend ever since you had joined the guild and I know when you're having trouble. Now tell me -- what's been bothering you?"

I felt nervous yet relieved at the same time. "I honestly don't know... I think I was--" I sighed heavily, still trying to figure out my own thoughts.

"Lisanna's a nice girl, I mean it, really. I just don't know why I felt so hurt when she..." --when she hugged him... I processed the thought in my head. Ah.. So I was jealous...

"-- but it's not like we're dating or anything!" I was met by a moment of silence. "I... I said that out loud... didn't I?" I slowly said. Levy replied by nodding her head at me.

"So you were jealous huh..." She analyzed her data rather quickly. "Apparently so..." I chuckled nervously.

"Well, I may not be Mira or anything-- But the only way to stop being jealous is to confess." I gave her a weird look and scoffed loudly. "That's not going to happen! I mean first of all, I don't want to die of a broken heart. It's obvious that he only treats me as a friend and nothing more."

"Dude! Everyone knows that you two like each other! No excuse me, I meant head over heels for each other! Even the readers know!" She gestures to a certain direction.

"Who are you talking to?" I ask. Levy gives me a stern look, "Stop changing the subject!" I groaned in annoyance.

"Just confess already!"

"Why don't you confess to Gajeel then?"

"It's cause he doesn't like me..." She replies sheepishly.

"Same goes for me then!" I replied.

"No, he really doesn't like me..." I could see a flicker of sadness flash through her face. "Why, what happen?"

"This morning he was avoiding me like crazy, I didn't know why."

"Okay. I'm not saying to confess -- But I think you should talk to him. I mean he is your friend as well and you deserve an explanation."

She presses her lips together, "Okay... Though it'll take me awhile to muster up the courage." She laughed which made me laugh as well.

I heard the door being knocked which made us immediately silent. "Guys! It's me, Mira! Open the door!" Levy was the first to get up from the bed as she opened the door.

Mira came in wearing traditional clothing. The bottom portion of it was a skirt that reached down to her ankles and the top portion was basically like a long sleeved but the sleeves drooped down about half a foot.

"What the--" I stopped mid-way and continued bobbing my head, staring at her dress-like outfit. Mira giggled, slowly spinning around, "You like it?"

"It's so pretty~!" Levy began. "But why are you wearing that...?" I knew that she already knew the answer to her own question, but I guess like me... she asked anyways.

Reading my mind, Mira smirked mischievously, letting out a slight chuckle. "What do you think~?"

Almost simultaneously, Levy and I let out a groan that made Mira grin even more.

Erza's P.O.V

"Erza?" My head snapped to the right as I hear someone calling me. Juvia's face was full of concern as I turned to look a her.

"Is Erza all right? Juvia's been meaning to ask ever since the party last night."

I gave her a tight smile, "Yes, I'm alright. Thank you for asking."

"Well okay... If Erza says so..."

Lucy, Levy and Mira entered the living room, interrupting my conversation with Juvia. "This feels so uncomfortable!" Lucy exclaims, pulling down the bottom skirt. She was wearing a similar dress to mine but different colors.

"You look so pretty, Lucy-san!" Wendy awed, standing up from the couch a little too quickly. The tight dress caused her to lose her balance and fall back to the couch. "Whoops.." Wendy smiled sheepishly. "Act like a woman for once, child!" Carla exclaimed, crossing her arms. I laughed at the childish act.

"Okay, girls! Let's head downstairs now!" Mira announces.

"Wait! You haven't even told us where we're going...!" Levy says. "I know! That's the point!" Mira winked, opening the door.

I stood still, with the rest staring back at Mira. She turned around, "Don't just stand there! You don't want your soulmates to wait for you~!" She walked ahead. "Come on!"

I was the first to move and slowly everyone followed. For once, I'm a bit thankful for all the crazy places that we've been dragged to so far. I hope I can use this night to patch things up with Jellal, and get to the bottom of what really happened last night. And maybe even finally show my real feelings for him...
