Act 1 (Performance) The curtain rises!

The stage is set with an expensive couch and chairs. There are walls draped with art work and bright colors. Erza, Master Makarov, and Loke enter on stage. Master Makarov is wearing a suit. Erza is in a fancy dress. As for Loke he looks like a butler. Master Makarov and Erza took a set on the couch. Loke on the other hand started his butler duties.

"Erza there are only four sunrises and four sunsets. I think today is going to be a great day! Too bad the days are taking too long to get here." Makarov complained crossing his arms.

"Don't worry the days will become faster during the night. Soon the night will be here when we can have our family reunion." Erza replied looking into the distance like she was daydreaming about the reunion.

"Go, Loke and send the invitations to the reunion! Be quick about it!" Makarov said motioning Loke to leave.

"Yes sir!" Loke responded doing a respectful bow then left the stage.

"Erza, my dearest family member, we will have a good time at this reunion!" Makarov said smiling at Erza.

Guildarts, Lucy, Natsu, and Gray enter on stage. Guildarts is wearing a brown trench-coat and jeans. He is practically dragging Lucy on stage. Lucy was wearing a purple dress. Gray was wearing some dress pants and a dress shirt with ruffles.

"My good friend Master Makarov!" Guildarts said walking up the master.

"Oh thank you Guildarts! Old friend, what is the news?" Makarov said shaking his friends hand.

"You see, my friend, my daughter is supposed to be getting married to Gray. They have already given each other gifts and so on. But there is a problem, she refuses to marry him. She is my daughter of my own flesh and blood! Can you please give me permission to kill her?" Guildart said angrily waving his hand at Lucy.

Lucy rolled her eyes at Guildarts. Makarov put on a straight face. Erza on the other hand was in shock.

"Lucy, what do you have to say? You should treat your dad with the utmost respect. After all he is half of the reason you are living. He shaped you into who you are. He thinks Gray is a fine gentleman." Makarov said turning to Lucy.

Lucy uncrossed her arms and looked at Makarov with pleading eyes.

"So is Natsu!" Lucy argued.

Guildarts looked furious and it took Erza to hold him back.

"In your fathers eyes Gray is more worthy for your hand in marriage." Makarov said defending Guildarts.

"Only if my dad looked through my eyes and saw things the way I see them." Lucy frowned and looked at her feet.

Makarov walked over to Lucy. "You must try to look at it through your dad's eyes." He responded.

Lucy looked at Master Makarov with sad eyes.

"Master Makarov, dear family friend, please excuse me. I don't know why I have this much courage nor do I know how my modesty suits me. Dear family friend may I ask, what is the worst that will happen to me if I don't marry Gray?" She asked curiously.

Makarov thought for a second then sighed loudly.

"You have two choices. You can die or you can become a nun. Dearest Lucy question what you believe in. Do you think you can become a nun? Do you think you can enclose yourself from the world of men forever? You will never have kids and you will be in constant prayer and chants. You would become like a rose. You would live with the thorns of virginity and will live with alone." Makarov finally responded.

Lucy's facial expression lightened. "So I will grow, live, and die. Don't we all? I will become a nun as long as I don't have to marry Gray."

Makarov looked at Lucy with a confused look on his face before he said "I will give you a month to think about it. Don't be rash! Are you willing to take up the sisterhood? I am sorry my dear but I don't see you as a nun. Marry Gray darling. You don't want to die."

Lucy nodded and took in the words Makarov just said. At this time Gray was running his fingers through his hair and Guildarts looks like he was ready to kill Lucy. Erza looked like she was ready to hit Guildarts in the back of the head if needed.

Gray walked up to Lucy and looked her in the eyes.

"Besides, Lucy, what is so great about Natsu? I should become your husband!" He said looking at Lucy intensely.

Natsu walks onto the stage. He is wearing the same thing as Grey but he has his signature scarf around his neck.

Natsu walked over to Lucy who looked happy to see him. Gray gave Natsu a death glare.

"You have Guildart's approval Gray. I have Lucy's approval! Why don't you go marry Guildart?" Natsu said in Lucy's defense but in his as well.

"You are right Natsu! Gray does have my love and what is mine is his. That includes my daughter. That is why she shall take him as her husband." Guildart said glaring at Natsu.

A smile formed on Grays face and Erza awkwardly played with her air. Lucy looked hurt. Natsu looked he was struggling to keep his cool.

"But I have as much as Gray and maybe even more in riches. Besides I love your daughter even more than Gray can ever love her. Why can't I be her husband? Besides Gray already has another woman's heart. He has the heart of Juvia." Natsu argued.

"I have heard about Gray having Juvia's heart. Come with me Gray and Guildart and we will discuss this in private." Makarove said motioning Erza to follow him.

With that Erza, Master Makarov, Gray, and Guildarts left the stage leaving Natsu and Lucy behind. Lucy sat down on the couch and had the saddest look on her face. Natsu looked at her and frowned.

"Lucy what is wrong?" Natsu asked Lucy sitting down next to her.

"They won't let me marry you." Lucy said not looking up.

Natsu looked over at his friend and grabbed her hand. She looked up at him reluctantly.

"I love you Lucy. Nothing is going to change that. Besides the course of true love never did run smooth." Natsu said reassuring her.

"You are right. It is destiny for us to be together. We are the classic star-crossed lovers." Lucy said looking at her hands.

Natsu put one of put his arm around Lucy pulling her closer to him. She leaned against him. Natsu's face lit up and he smiled a brilliant smile.

"Lucy, I have a plan. You see I know a woman who has no one. She looks after me like I am her own child. We can run away from this stupid law and go to her house where the law can't touch us. When we get there we can be married." Natsu said excitedly.

"Natsu that is a brilliant idea! I love it! Tomorrow I will meet you so we can run away together. Thank goodness Cupid shot me with his arrow and showed me to you." Lucy said smiling then gave Natsu a hug.

Natsu laughed happily and returned the hug. Lucy let go along with Natsu and they both smiled.

"I promise I will keep my promise to you. Look there is Juvia." Natsu said standing up to welcome the water mage.

Juvia entered the room with a panicked look on her face. She was wearing a green dress.

"Juvia my friend! How are you? Why are you here?" Lucy asked running over to her friend and giving her a hug.

Juvia smiled and returned Lucy's hug. When they released the panicked look returned back to Juvia's face.

"Hello Lucy. I am looking for my beloved Gray. He loves you and your sparkling eyes and your pretty hair. Why can't I be like you? In fact why can't I be you? There is nothing I want more than Gray's love." Juvia explained.

Natsu and Lucy gave Juvia a sympathy look.

"It's not my fault. I frown upon him and yet he loves me." Lucy said looking annoyed.

"My smiles can learn from your frowns." Juvia said with jealously.

"I yell at him and he still loves me." Lucy said with her hands balling into fists.

"I wish he would love me." Juvia said looking sad.

"The more I despise him the more he follows me." Lucy said rolling her eyes.

"Why does he hate me? I am just want his love!" Juvia exclaimed.

"It's not my fault he loves me! Juvia, you can have him." Lucy said putting her hands in the air.

"What do you mean?" Juvia asked confused.

"Lucy and I are going to run away tomorrow evening. You will be able to have your love. We will be in the woods away from the law." Natsu said laughing.

"I wish you the best of luck with Gray. Juvia I hope you find your happiness. Until tomorrow my love, Natsu. I can't wait until then!" Lucy said smiling.

"Until then. I feel the same way." Natsu said hugging Lucy.

The two broke apart and left the stage. Leaving Juvia alone.

"So they are running away. I must tell Gray. He will be so thankful to me. He might even give me the light of day! I can't wait until tomorrow!" Juvia said smiling.
