I very much appreciate all of it! Input very much appreciated, so, without further boring intro, I hope you enjoy!

"Bye bye Erza, Levy!" Lucy called, waving as her friends walked away, before turning down the hall. "Ah, why not?" she thought, grabbing another handful of prom posters. As she walked, she offered the papers to anyone that passed, and stuck some on the walls as well. "Lucy!" she froze, and turned. "Sting!" she smiled at the spiky haired blonde. "How are you?" she asked. He smiled slightly and shrugged. "Pretty good... The posters... They look good!" he commented, gesturing to the papers in her arms. "Starry night... Should be great!" "Oh, thanks!" she mumbled, looking down, a bit embarrassed.
(Around the corner, Erza and Levy stopped, hearing their blonde friend talking to the soccer player. )
"Oh Sting! Here are your two tickets to Prom!" Lucy remembered, pulling the two remaining tickets from her pocket. "Thanks Lucy... Actually, I was thinking.." Lucy looked up at him hopefully, tilting her head to indicate she was listening. "Would you, you know, want to go to the prom with me?" She instantly brightened, until he continued. "Like carpooling. I thought since we lived so close... you know?" Levy could feel her friend deflate, and Erza probably would've beat him up if Levy didn't grab her arm and shake her head. "O-oh.. um, i guess you're right..." Lucy murmured, looking at her toes. "Oh, uh, here you go then.." Sting said awkwardly, handing her one of the tickets. "See you then?" he questioned, turning. She nodded and he lifted his hand as a goodbye as he trotted away. Levy and Erza emerged from around the corner, and Levy automatically grabbed her friend's shoulders and hugged her, Erza standing and glaring at anyone who stared at them as they let their friend sob quietly in the middle of Hall B at Magnolia High.

"Have you seen that sophomore Wendy recently Laxus?" "Yeah man, she's really pretty, that one. Couldn't stay away" he laughed with his friends. From the corner of his eye, he saw Mira waiting quietly. "Oh, hey Mir!" he called, turning. "Laxus, could we talk for a minute?" Mira said, stepping towards the tall blonde. He nodded, and she turned. She was pretty sure she heard a catcall or two but she ignored it.
He followed close behind her as they entered the garden. "What is it Mir?" Laxus persisted. "I found this Laxus.. in your car.." she held up a dangling gold earring, blue eyes reflecting hurt. "Oh... That.. I... Drove the girls softball team to an after game party! Yeah, one of them must have lost it" he lied quickly. "O-Oh.." the white haired girl murmered, not fully convinced. "Yeah Mira. I love you, don't worry babe! Here I'm dropping by at eight. Be ready." Laxus said, holding Mira's arms to his. She searched his eyes for a second before nodding. "Okay" she replied, and Laxus turned and walked back towards the school. Once he was out of sight, she dropped back against the wall of the nearby toolshed, looking at the earring again. "Was that really what happened?" Mira wondered gloomily, eyes brimming.

Lucy rummaged through her closet as Erza and Levy sprawled across her bed. "I was so sure he was just going to beg you to go to prom with him, you know, something fancy or the like!" Levy whined, rolling back and forth across Lucy's pink comforter. "Yeah, I just can't believe..." Erza muttered, adjusting her glasses slightly. Lucy sighed softly. "It's okay I guess.. It's too bad now anyway." Levy looked up at her sadly, and Erza reached up and patted her shoulder. Lucy smiled a bit to brighten her friends and shoved Levy over onto the floor, taking her spot, laughing as a spontaneous pillow fight started, an enraged bluenett yelling the whole time.

Mira waited nervously in her room as she looked at the clock. 8:10. He was late. Hugging a pillow to herself, she looked down at her dress. "I wonder if I just wasted my time.." she sighed, standing. The sound of tires squealing on the drive downstairs made her stop, and she heard her brother open the door.
"You're late," Elfman said curtly. "Oh, about that. Sorry, the traffic was bad." Laxus replied. "Men aren't late." was all he said, before turning. "Wait."
Mira stood quickly, brushing off any signs of her near-coming tears. Running a brush through her long white hair, she heard her brother knock. "Come in Elfman!" she called softly, and he opened her door, eyes seeming to ask her if she was alright. Mira simply nodded lightly, smiling as she passed her brother. "I'll be home soon," she called to him, gently descending down their white marble staircase to the door. Laxus stood, dressed in a more formal blue shirt, and black dress pants. Offering his arm, he led her to his car, opening the door for her. She stepped in gracefully, and waved to Elfman, who smiled back and slowly closed their front door.
As they drove, a peaceful silence filled the car, and Laxus seemed to have no intention of breaking it to say where they were going. As the pulled into the parking lot of Magnolia high, Mira looked at him, surprised, but said nothing. Laxus opened her door, and smiled a bit. "This way." He led her to the Prom shed, and slid out a key. Unlocking the door, he pulled it open for Mira. "Wow.." her eyes grew wide, struck by the beauty of the room. Placed on the floor was a purple picnic blanket, a small wicker picnic basket resting on it. Surrounding the whole entire room were many, many sparkling candles, glowing like stars. "Laxus.." she murmered as he led her to the blanket. Setting out two drinks, and reaching for the food in the basket, along with a small box of chocolate-covered strawberries, he looked into her eyes. "Mira, will you go to Prom with me?" Blinking back silvery tears, she nodded. "Laxus... Yes. Just, yes!" She cried. They sat, and together ate while a small cd player played soft piano from a hidden corner.
"Laxus.. It's time.. My curfew, we need to go." Mira cried, looking at the time on her phone. "Oh, right.." Laxus muttered, packing up the picnic basket. Grabbing everything, Laxus closed the door, and slid the key back into its place, leaving one small candle flickering with life.
