Hello! I tried to make this chapter longer, don't know how i did... anyway, thanks to my 2 reviewers!
The guildhall, usually standing proud and regal, was decorated to the max in all shades of black, white, and red. As he continued inside, a large banner hung from the balcony that said 'Night of dancing fairys'. Red and white streamers decorated the banisters of the grand staircases , and even more were being hung at different places around the guild. Members were running left and right, making punch, decorating or just running around. In the middle of the flurry stood Mirajane Strauss, clad with a clipboard and pen. She was giving out orders to guild members, and occasionally turning into her Satan soul mode if they needed motivation . Laxus walked towards he location, dodging flying decorations and other things. As he approached her, her mouth widened into a grin . "Oh, Laxus! Could you please help me with something?" She said while clasping her hands together in a pleading motion. "No." He said bluntly. "Pleeeeaaasssseee?" She tried once more. "No." He wandered over to the bar, where he made himself a drink . Sitting down at a stool, he slung his favorite coat onto the surface of the bar. "Oh, Laxus..." He sighed and turned to her , expecting more pleading. What he wasn't expecting, however , was for Mira to be standing there with a photo. A photo of him and a girl. Upon closer inspection, you could see the girl was Lucy, and the position they were in was the same as that morning, when he had saved her. At the angle the picture was taken, it looked as if the two were engaged in a kiss. Laxus became very red, and quickly defended himself. "No, it's not what it looks like. She was falling towards the water, so I grabbed her. We weren't doing anything."he said, waving his hands in the air, so as to clear him of any wrong doings. "Now could you help me? If not, I may just accidentally drop this in the middle of the guildhall ..." she didn't even need to finish. Laxus was already bowing down in front of her, begging for anything but that. She giggled, and gave him a job. Gray had earlier made an ice sculpture of the Fairy tail insignia, but before he could carry it inside, he had been attacked by Juvia, who claimed she saw him hugging Cana. All he had to do was carry the sculpture inside. Easy,right? But the thing weighed a ton. Wakaba and Macao had already tried to lift it, and were laying in an exhausted heap to the side. Laxus struggled to lift the damn thing, all the while cursing he finally got it in there, however, Mira had him move it ten times, trying to see which place it would best fit in. When it was finally in position (which was the place he had originally set it down at, a few paces from the guild doors), it was 5:00 and Laxus was exhausted. He went inside to get another drink and plopped down into a chair. His thoughts wandered to the picture of him and Lucy. 'It really did look like we were kissing. Well, i guess that wouldn't be too bad... no, no I shouldn't be thinking like that.' Yet his mind still wondered, what would it be like to kiss the blonde? The chiming of the guilds clock inturupted his thoughts. He was quickly shaken out of his drunken stupor when he saw what time it was . It was 6:00 already?! Earlier, Mira had mentioned that the ball starts at 7 sharp. She had also added something else . Lucy was wearing a red dress to the event, and he should dress to match. When she had said this, he had blushed and denied that he felt anything for 'that blonde bimbo ' (though now he had regretted calling Lucy that). So, he sloshed down the rest of his drink, grabbed his coat, and headed out the guild doors. Walking towards the center of magnolia, he found a small store that had a selection of very fine tuxedos and dress shirts. Unfortunetly, all were very expensive. Well, If he was going to a fancy ball, then he might as well look like a million jewels. Laxus purchased a black tuxedo and a red, silk dress shirt with a matching red tie. On his way to his appartment, he passed the florist. Dozens of red roses were displayed outside, and in a moment he thought, 'should I get one of these for Lucy?' Yet he had already picked one out and purchased it. He continued on his way, shaking his head in disbelief. Since when was he this soft? He entered his house to get ready.
Muahahahahahaha! Cliffhanger! No, but seriously,I'll have the next chapter up tomorrow. Review!
