Authors Note- I had this idea the other day and needed to write it up. So shoot me. It will kill me to write the ending but I will enjoy it as much as I can for the time being.

You like this and want the next chapter? Then please review~ :3

The lemon is in the other chapter too so if you clicked just for that then please review.

I kept as close to the film as possible, so if you have watched Moulin Rouge then it should be pretty accurate, if you haven't then I suggest you do.

R&R Please~ 3


The greatest thing, you'll ever learn is just to love, and be loved in return.~

The Moulin Féerie.

A circus and dance hall ruled over by the feared Master Makarov Dreyar, it's a kingdom of Earthly pleasures and home to the strongest, grandest magic you will ever see. Where the rich and powerful can play with the most beautiful creatures of the magical world. Of course at a price.

The most handsome and strongest of all these was the man I loved.

Gajeel Redfox.

He sold his strength and aid to the highest bidder, and for the rich countesses and even Princesses he entertained them more than just by strength. His powers were known throughout the whole of the kingdom, and as inexperienced as I was I could understand why they called him:

The Iron Dragon.

And he was just one of the stars of the Moulin féerie.

I first came to Magnolia one year ago. It was X784, the summer of love. The clumsy beginning to the Magic Revolution and I had travelled from far away just to be a part of it. Magnolia was not as my father had said: "A haven for sin, weakness and drunks." In every street lay musicians composing a sweet melody, painters and writers working away, creation magic being displayed, weaker magic being shown off to civilians. All dwellers of Magnolia, a particularly magical speck in the Fiore Kingdom, were known as the Children of the Revolution and then there was me, Levy McGarden, travelling to this wonderful place with my Solid Script Magic not only to inprove my skills, but to write a wonderful novel. At this time, I had no idea the novel would be of my life. Yes, I had come to live a penniless existence, I had come to write of magic, truth, freedom and most of all love. There was only one problem, I had never been in love!

Luckily, right at the moment a, heavily plagued with motion sickness, pink haired man fell through my ceiling. He was quickly joined by a incredibly large man dressed as a maid.
"How do you do?" The white haired man began, smiling awkwardly towards my shocked self. "I am Elfman Strauss, the one true man of Magnolia!" He declared. I giggled as the man pulled the pink haired one through my roof and over his shoulder. From the hole left in my roof I could see a blue cat with what appeared to be wings, and a girl with blonde hair, tied into a pony tail on one side with most of her hair still out. She smiled at me, and I remember it so vividly as that was when I met my soon to be best friend. Lucy Heartfilia.

"Natsu! You're causing too much damage!" Lucy growled, the cat beside her grinned.

"It's Lucy's fault!" The cat chimed in, causing my jaw to abruptly drop.

"Shut up you stupid cat!" Lucy smiled at me and began to apologise as the pink haired man woke up.

"Alright! That went well! Lets do it again Happy!" The one named Natsu roared, his fists lighting up with flames.

"Aye sir!" The cat sang.

On that day seven of my books sadly perished on that day, along with 67 pages of 'A historie of Fiore'.

She informed me that her friends and her were composing a play to show at the Moulin Féerie to display their combination of literature and magical power. However their writer had completely given up on them. It involved, her, the Dragon Slayer who was previously rejected from the Moulin Féerie because of the damage he had previously done to the building. Natsu Dragneel, the one who had fell through my roof. The one who introduced himself as Elfman was apparently a sibling of the famous Mirajane Strauss. That was it for their group according to Lucy. At this point the one called Elfman had found one of my poems... One that I never wanted to see the light of day. They shared it around the group, each of them stating that it was marvellous whilst I was restrained by the cat. How embarrassing...They proclaimed that I should write their play and come with them to pitch the idea to Makarov the next day.

"Uhm, has this girl ever even wrote a play before?" The blue and white cat named Happy asked whilst chewing a fish. I bristled under their gaze.

"Never... I've always wanted to try and write something though..."

"Well we can work together, Levy-Chan, I do a bit of writing myself!" Lucy called.

"Not that she ever lets any of us see..." Natsu groaned.

I spent the night with my new friends, drinking and discussing tales of how we ended up in Magnolia. And the next evening, I submitted to their pleas, I would go with them to the Moulin Féerie and pitch our display of literature mixed into displays of magic into one.

If I had not have submitted to her pleas I would never have met the man I would eventually love.

We all dressed like royalty on the night we were to enter the Moulin Féerie. Natsu, Elfman and even Happy suited up in top end tuxedos. Lucy had a simplistic red dress, that hugged her body snugly and emphasized her large bust. One that I found myself quite jealous of, however she had insisted that the most money would go towards my dress... They were desperate for me to look the part, so that I could gain an Audience with one of the legendary Dragon Slayers. The stress was probably the most expensive and elaborate dress I had ever worn. It's top half was a corset of a pale orange colour, it's body lined with an even lighter orange lace that lined the corset in an intricate floral bottom half had a long billowy train that would flow with a simple breeze. the front of the dress sat just above my knees exposing my pale knees and showed off my golden heels that I stumbled in. An outfit that, to this day, invokes such vivid memories. Though it paled in comparison to the other person due to meet Gajeel, the one with the platinum blonde hair and a diamond encrusted blue gown.

The Princess.

Princess Hisui of the Kingdom of Fiore.

God knows what she was doing in a place like Magnolia, but her presence was only there. When I originally admired the beauty strutting past me to the grand entrance of the Moulin Féerie I had no idea how intertwined our fates would be. Whilst being rushed through the crowded, well lit hall ways to the club I was destined to spend so much time with I had a vague idea about how immensely exciting it would be to see the most powerful magic in probably the whole world. Natsu and Lucy grabbed my arms and I was flung into a seat, they looked excitedly towards a stage and I questioned them of Elfman's whereabouts. Lucy merely pointed to a corner where the large man stood with two white haired girls who looked vaguely like him.

"His sisters~" Lucy smiled.

There was a drum roll at the centre of the stage, the immense room suddenly grew close to silence as the stage was drowned in darkness. The taller one of Elfman's sisters took the centre stage as Elfman sat beside me, introducing me hurriedly to his sister Lisanna as a harshly bright light was directed onto woman on stage and she did the most wonderful thing, she began to sing. Mirajane Strauss, rumoured to have one of the most beautiful voices in existence began to sing and everyone drew into silence simply to hear her. Elfman and Lisanna looked on proud as she continued her beautiful melody.

As she neared the middle of her song, a blue haired woman appeared in a thick blue coat, she was lit up with a blue light. She stood at the top of the stage and flexed her wrist and formed gallons of suspended to water and forming a beautiful shape in the air in time to the song Mirajane was singing. When Mirajane reached the end of her song a large applause and standing ovation was heard, the lights went off Mirajane and focussed on the unnamed blue haired woman who commanded more water out of her hands. She then threw this water out to all the audience and leapt off the stage. The entire crowd gasped most shielded their faces as her body disappeared into that of water, the loud roar of two men was heard.

"ICE MAKE: CAPTURE."

The lights shone onto a black haired man without a shirt, and on the opposite side they shone onto a white haired man of a similar attire. They froze the woman mid air and the audience swooned. The woman was now entirely made of ice, and slowly she was making it drip. The frozen ice around her acting like a ceiling to the audience beneath before cracking away and turning into snow. The woman burst out of the shell in merely a elegant white dress, the two men walked to take a hand of her's each and they all smiled. The audience roared in appreciation.

"May I please introduce, Juvia Lockser the Woman of Water, Gray Fullbuster our Man of Ice and our Special guest from Lamia Lyon Vastia!" Mirajane called and the three people took their bows. "Before we introduce the Raijinnshuu and their magnificent abilities. We a proud to present one of our most popular acts. The act that involves lightning, air and of course iron. Your favourite's the Dragon Slaye-" She began but was interrupted by the sudden strike of lightning. The entire hall was filled with a tangible silence. Some got up and walked to the exits, I found myself looking to Lisanna and Elfman who grinned.

"Laxus always makes a show..." Lisanna muttered with a sigh.

"The Dragon Slayers!" A hoarse voice yelled, the middle of the hall, where the lightning had struck. Once the smoke had dissipated, a man with with a loosely buttoned up shirt, blonde hair and a scar going across one of his eyes. The rumoured to be infinitely powerful, the Lightning Dragon Slayer, Grandson of Makarov Dreyar. Laxus. "Lightning!" At this point the blonde's hand lit up with golden bolts of lightning.

"Air!" A small voice called, all the attention was aimed skyward as a small girl, lit up by the stage lights, was carried down by a white cat with wings. "Sky Dragon's... ROAR!" A huge gust of strong wind consumed the audience, dislodging many people's hats and extensive hair styles. A large applause, and a few coos and a lot of people 'Aww'ing at the blue haired girl who I assumed to be Wendy Marvell. I saw Happy next to me go starry eyed at the cat who stood next to Wendy once she had landed beside Laxus. The fierce lightning Dragon Slayer smiled kindly at the girl as they looked at the entrance.

"Iron." A grunt filled the room as the door which we had all previously entered was completely destroyed by a sword attached to the body of the man I would soon know like the palm of my hand. His thick black locks, heavily pierced face and gleaming red eyes. He pushed past any stragglers by the door and nodded to the two Dragon Slayers in the centre of the hall.

"Tonight as you know is a rare chance for the audience to dance with their favourite members of our Guild." Laxus called, bringing a smirk to his face. "And I'm afraid it's Fairy's choice... Gajeel?"

"Hmph..." Gajeel huffed, "I'd have to go for that girl there... The one with Salamander..."

"I will beat Gajeel up so hard Levy don't you worry I-" Natsu began, standing up for Happy to hold him back.

"Shut up idiot this is exactly what we want!" Lucy hissed, and she pushed me forward. I stumbled off the chair and almost tripped over my heels and in the blink of an eye he was there. His red eyes looking down in concern as he stood me up right. The room was talking again, everyone claiming their partners but it was irrelevant to me. I was caught in his gaze and he chuckled slightly, still leaning down to be eye level with me.

"Gihihi... You're quite short aren't you?" He chuckled. It was at this point my face flushed and I looked to my left where Natsu and Lucy were signing for me to continue with this man. "C'mon, the Salamander ain't gonna touch me for a while, just me and you."

"I'm not short." I huffed, placing a hand on his out stretched one and another upon his broad shoulder. "Just... Shorter than you."

"Gihi..." He chuckled once more. "That makes you short then..." He stood up right and towered over me. "I might even lose you in this crowd, so don't leave my side."

"I-..." My face flushed again but this time with a smile. "Mmm" I nodded up at him as he lead me through some steps. "I actually w-was wondering if maybe we could be alone and-"

"Alone? You work fast shrimp... At bit more bold than I took you for." He chuckled leaning in close, his forehead against my own.

"F-For a d-display of my friends and I's l-literature and magic p-presentation..." I stammered as his breath caressed my lips. He gave me a wickedly devious grin and nodded.

"Oh a display? Let us go now then~" He smirked, grabbing both my wrists in one of his small hands and leading me away from the dance. I looked back at Natsu and Lucy who signed enthusiastically for me to continue, both of them with wicked smirks on their faces as Gajeel led me away from all I was familiar whilst holding me close to him. If I had only had known then, that tonight would be the start of the most wonderful, most terrible, most horrid yet most intimate stage of my life. I may have resisted, I may have protected myself from the heartache... But would I have relinquished the intimacy?
