Hello, everyone! Labor day weekend is finally here! School gets in the way of Anime and Fanfiction! Here is the next chapter, enjoy! Please Read and Review!

Disclaimer: *Phone recording* I do not own Fairy Tail...

Lilica's POV:

"Hey, Lilica, is there is something wrong?" Sting questioned, with a worry look on his face, "Cause you looked a little spaced out."

"Huh? I'm fine, Sting, thank you," I replied politely. I can't tell him what's got me worried. He's definitely trustworthy, but I just don't like to confine in almost complete strangers. I also don't even know if there really is something wrong. My instincts tell me that something's off, but it could completely be a false alarm, right?

"Let's go to the ball," I suggested, looking at my mother, and then to Sting and Rogue, my Ryos. Wait, since when was Ryos, mine? I don't love him like that right, but he is so handsome...

Rogue's voice brought me back to reality again. I can't focus. Unbelievable! Before Rogue came, I would never zone out on conversations. He said, "Let's go, or else we're going to be late."

We walked to the Summer Ball. It was only about 10 minutes away from my house. My mother would never ride a carriage if she could walk there. I really don't mind the walk. It's refreshing and I bet the Rogue and Sting are happy too. I believe both of the suffer motion sickness, like Natsu.

"We're here!" my mother said, with a cheery tone? She was smiling, but her tone sounded fake. Rogue probably noticed it as well. Mother is quite a good actor, but I am even better. Rogue, when he was Ryos, can even tell when I'm lying!

Sting's POV:

She doesn't sound so happy, Yuki-san, that is. Although, I can't always read Rogue's emotions, it is easy for me to tell if someone else is lying. Well, most people. For example, I can read Yuki-san, but I have a hard time reading Lilica-san, for some reason. Is she also really emotionless like Rogue on the inside? Is she pretending, or not?

I looked at Rogue, and saw him looking at me and then at Yuki-san. So he noticed that something is off, too.

Rogue's POV:

When Yuki-san said "We're here!" I noticed that something was off. She wasn't happy at all. She was pretending the study room, too. What really is going on here?

Yuki's POV:

I hope they didn't notice me faking. I don't think Lilica did, but the dragon slayers were looking at me. They must have realized. At least, Lilica hasn't. My plan hasn't gone very well, but I know that it'll work out, as long as Lilica is oblivious of what's going to happen.

Lilica's POV:

My mother was pointing at the huge mansion. The ball was going to take place there.

I have already made my decision. I will leave this place and join Fairy Tail, even though they're the worst guild now. I will wait for Luce to come back! I haven't shown my true self to my mother. Today, I'll show my mother who I truly am. I'm not the smiling girl she always had known. I'm not the girl that doesn't know anything. I know everything! She just doesn't know what I'm capable of. I have been thinking of leaving for a few months now, but I made my decision after seeing Rogue and Sting as partners. It reminded me of Team Natsu and Luce.

I need to get out of here. I can't pretend anymore. I can't act like I'm happy all the time. I am and will always be a cold person even though I hide it. The reason the heiresses don't like me is because I hide my coldness through a smile. Even though I say it happily, my words sting. I always know what to say to make them shut up.

We walked into the mansion, and walked through the front doors leading to the Summer Ball. When we entered, everyone suddenly got quiet. However, the silence did not last long. After a few moments, I heard whispers about me, again, but this time more and more people were whispering.

"Why are they are whispering," inquired Sting, looking confused.

"Because the popular girls hate me," I answered.

"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to..." Sting said, averting his eyes.

"Don't worry about it!" I said, with a genuine smile. However my smile faded when I saw a familiar girl walking towards me.

Rogue's POV:

"There you are, Lilica. You're late. What's with the dress. It's so ugly. You're just popular with the boys because you're pretty. However, with that dress, nobody would ever look at you, you know," a girl called out, smirking. That girl's voice is so irritating! She's just like Minerva!

She does not have a right to mock anyone! Especially my Lilica! Wait, she's not mine! What's wrong with me? Ever since coming here, I've shown more emotions I had ever shown in month! It has only been one day! Why?

I opened my mouth to retort, but Sting beat me to it.

"You're just jealous," he stated, looking at the girl.

It was then the girl actually acknowledged the presence of us.

"It's the Twin Dragons of Sabertooth!" she exclaimed, pointing at Sting and I.

"Wait, why are they speaking up for...," she began, looking suspicious after processing Sting's words. "...You go and hired the Twin Dragons because they are the best mages! How dare you!" she continued, pointing an accusing finger at Lilica. "Aren't you a fan of your sister's lame guild? What was it called again? Oh, it's Fairy Tail, right? Get it, tail? Just like their name they come last!" she added mocking Lilica.

I looked at Lilica, seeing how she would take this. What happen next definitely surprised me. I thought she would cry but she...

I know that it's a cliffhanger. What do you think she did? Stay tuned for another update either tomorrow or on Monday! Please review!
