Well I'm not sure where this came from and I told myself I shouldn't juggle different stories but if I don't listen to others what are the chances I listen to myself? Sigh… Stupid me. I do get writers block easily from a story I just updated so I think it's a good solution to have different stories to keep myself from getting bored.

I'm not really positive how long this story will be but I thought it be original to the many fics posted like hourly on this site. I hope this will be original…

Well here goes ahem… I do not own Fairy Tail or the characters of Fairy Tail, nor do I wish to make profit for this story.

Early one autumn morning the day started like any other for every other citizen that lived in Magnolia. Well except for some. Near the edge of the town next to the local fishing docks laid a dancing studio called Dancing Hearts. Situated upstairs was a joined apartment to the studio. It was charming and sweet owned by woman who was just as charming and sweet, Lucy Heartfilia.

As we peer into the apartment this autumn morning the young woman woke up early to get her tasks done before her clients arrived. As she slumped out of bed and dragged her feet to her kitchen to put on her favourite appliance in the house, the coffeemaker. As she waited for the machine to brew her miracle juice she peeled off her clothes and jumped into the warm inviting shower. She stood there a while to let her sore joints soak. Once she pried herself away from the shower she changed into her tights, jersey and ballet shoes. She combed her damp blond hair and twirled it into a dancer's signature bun. Once satisfied with her appearance, she although too eagerly dashed to the kitchen to make her coffee.

That was her regular routine for who knows how long. Three years ago when she first came to Magnolia she was 21, her ambitions were set to be a young entrepreneur. It was indeed a hard challenge. Her father had disapproved of her not going overseas to study with the best choreographers, so asking for money to open a business was a challenge for the young blonde. She was one of the best instructors in Fiore and has been given a variety of opportunities to work with successful studio entrepreneurs or offered to perform nationally and internationally. She turned them all down just for one small, although thriving, business.

The sun was peaking over the buildings of Magnolia, it was slowly reaching the bottom half of the building. It was 6:00 am and Lucy walked down to the studio to start her personal warm ups. The light from the sun reached the lower half and blindingly shun on the polished wooden floor. Turning the blinds downward she could see the studio without being blinded from the morning sun. She sat on the floor with her legs outstretched and her toes pointed. Her flexibility was impressive as she placed her legs in a horizontal position and stretching her arms and torso down the middle. Getting up she walked over to the beam and placed a leg at a time, her face moves slowly to her knee keeping her leg straight as possible. Particularly when she does her left leg she winces slightly. Next she was turning her ankles in circles and pointing her foot in front of her. Putting on right hand on the bar she outstretched her left arm over her head and repeated the motion with the other arm.

As she continued with her stretches she heard the studio open and close she looked towards the door and smiled to see her friend and fellow dance instructor.

"Morning Loke. Welcome back." She said.

The orange haired man smiled back and set his kit near the changing room. "How have you been without my help Lucy?"

"Perfectly fine! I don't know why you were so worried when you left." She said leaning against the bar folding her arms.

"Because you work yourself half to death." He said with an annoyed expression.

"Nonetheless you shouldn't worry about me on your honeymoon." She grumbled.

"Aries was worried about you too you know" he smirked at her.

Lucy placed her hand on her forehead wiping the sweat off form her warm up. Loke proceeded to the men's changing room to dress into his gear (which sounds manlier than tights).

"Oh you would never guess who Aries and I ran into!" he yelled from the changing room.

"Santa Claus" Lucy joked.

"The quarter Jewish part of me is offended" he said with a teasing voice.

She rolled her eyes at his humour and replied seriously "Fine who did you see on your honeymoon?"

"Yukino Agria"

Lucy was taken back a little, she was hesitant to answer but,

"How is she?" she asked

"Pretty well actually, although… she really misses her partner."

"…Her partner misses her back" she said with a small smile, her eyes downcast and voice low.

Loke walked out the dressing room and saw the young blonde thinking. He chuckled a bit and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"You know you both made good decisions. She's happy, your happy with what careers you chose."

"I didn't choose anything. I decided to play the coward and stay behind." She said in a angry low tone.

Loke frowned at his partner "Are you upset you didn't do what she wanted to achieve? Is being here doing what you love cowardly?"

Lucy listened to his point and smiled. Her face lifted from the floor to the orange haired man. "You know I hate it when you cheer me up in less than 5 minutes. Are you sure you're in the right profession?"

"If you're asking me to be your personal shrink, I deny." He joked.

She shrugged his hand off her shoulder and punched him playfully in the arm. Lucy looked over to the wall clock which read 7:15. Her first clients would come in another 45 minutes. But she would have to warm up with Loke because the clients requested tango lessons and Lucy always prepped for each of her lessons. Lucy went to fetch her red flowing dress for the practice and lesson. Unfortunately she forgot her changing kit upstairs.

"Darn, wait a minute I have to get my kit." She told her partner but was abruptly stopped.

"How's your leg this morning?" he asked in a serious tone.

Her eyes flickered to her left leg and sighed. To be honest the coming winter would be difficult on her leg but she thanked the celestial beings that she had such a caring partner. The look on her face told Loke everything.

"Where is it?" he asked smiling.

"Near my bedroom door." She said smiling back.

The young man jetted off upstairs to receive her bag and came back in a flash. She took the carry on and changed into her Red Latin dancing dress. The slit was on her right hand side revealing such a muscular thigh and calf. Her dancers legs were one to be proud of, she had been dancing since she was a little girl. So no doubted if she were to kick you, you would take flight to Edolas.

Lucy walked up to the mp3 player on the wall and played the set track. Lucy and Loke go into one of their familiar positions. As Loke rested his hand on her back she countered by holding his arm and both holding each other's hand. As the rhythmic music started Loke lifted Lucy into the air as to start the routine. Once landed straight away Lucy followed Loke's fast feet work, leading her around in circular motions. Her feet as well as following her partners flicked in different rhythmical patterns. As he would do the same. He spun her fast and recoiled her back in an attitude like manner. The two were in harmony as they danced in quick movements. As the song ended the two were breathless. A slow clap formed behind the pair by the entrance door. The two turned around to see a young pink haired man with a cocky smirk plastered on his face.

And I know someday that'll turn out. You'll make me work, so we can work to work it out. And I promise you, kid, that I give so much more than I get. I just haven't met you yet.

Not a big chapter I know. But the next one will be longer! My next update will be "Salamander the great" then "Same outcome". I'll try keep that pattern going.

For all the fans a review will be appreciated and a vote on my poll for "Same outcome"

Thanks for reading!
