~Sting's P.O.V.~

        "How do I look?" I asked nervously to my best friends.  Rogue, Yukino, and Frosch had come to my hotel room from Sabertooth when I asked for their help.

        "Whoa, you look..surprisingly formal," Rogue smirked.

        "You look very nice Sting-san!" Yukino grinned.

        "I think you look great!" Lector beamed.

        "Fro thinks so too!" Frosch added cutely.  I nervously picked at my collar.

        "You sure?" I asked, not entirely convinced.  I was wearing a white short sleeve dress shirt with a black tie, black dress pants, and black shoes.  Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do for my hair. "This might not be formal enough.."

        "Where is Sting and what have you done with him?" joked Rogue.  I couldn't help but stifle a laugh. 

        "I just think I might not be formal enough.." I said, looking at myself in the mirror.  Rogue put his hand on my shoulder.

        "Sting, you'll be fine," Rogue rolled his eyes at my nitpicking.  Lector and Yukino nodded in agreement while Frosch was not paying attention.  I weakly smiled.

        "Thanks buddy," I said.  I took in a deep breath.  "Well, here goes nothing.."  I walked out of the hotel room and to the park, where Jessie and I agreed we would meet.

~Jessie's P.O.V.~

        "Moh!  I don't want to wear this Erza!" I whined.

        "Tough luck Jessie.  You need to look good for this date!" Erza huffed from the other side of the curtain.

        "It's not a date!" I shouted, my face heating up in embarrassment.  I was quite glad that they couldn't see us since I was behind a dressing curtain.

        "Admit it Jessie, going to a fancy restaurant has to be a date!" Lexi giggled.

        "Shut up!" I fumed, my cheeks started to turn as red as Erza's hair.

        "Well, are you going to show us how you look or not?" Lucy asked anxiously.

        "Yeah, we wanna see how you look Jessie-san!" agreed Wendy.  I gulped.

        "Well, here goes nothing," I muttered under my breath as I opened the dressing curtain.  I was wearing Erza's purple dress that stopped at my knees, revealing my legs.  The neckline was lined with sparkly white diamonds and there was a light purple bow tied at the waist.  It was sleeveless, but I was also wearing a jacket that only went down to the bottom of my chest.  To compliment the dress were bright purple heels with glitter on them.  "Well?" I anxiously waited for my friends' responses.

        "Whoa..." they all said in unison.  "You...look....AMAZING!!"  They all started crowding around me.

        "This color really suits you!" commented Lucy.

        "The golden locket really stands out!" added Lexi.

        "Not to mention your blue eyes and white clip just really adds to beauty of it all!" nodded Erza, happy with her creation.

        "You look so pretty Jessie-san!" Wendy said in awe.

        "Thanks guys," I grinned.

        "Well, you better hurry up our you'll be late!" reminded Lexi.

        "Alright, bye minna!" I said as I ran out of my room (almost tripping with my high heels) and headed towards the park with the big tree in the middle.
