"Mommy are the snacks ready?" Lucy asked as she was frantically dusting things, getting ready for some guests. After Lucy go home from the mall Natsu had called out out of the blue:

Yesterday

"Luce?" Natsu asked .

"Yeah." Lucy answered wondering why Natsu was calling at such a late hour.

"Maybe he's asking me to the dance." Lucy wondered.

"Well, can we have the festival meeting at your house tomorrow?" he asked innocently. Lucy's heart dropped.

" Oh, why can't we have at your house?" Lucy answered with a question.

"I'm so stupid, he's got so many girls he could ask, why would he pick me." she thought.

"Well you know my family's kinda of weird, you and Gray are the only one's who have meant my family." Natsu said "Pretty please." Natsu beseeched

"Oh, ok I guess you can have it here." Lucy answered

"Yesss, I knew I could count on you Luce."Natsu cheered.

"Ok see you tomorrow." Lucy said as she yawned

"Luce wait." Natsu said. Lucy's heart began to race. Was Natsu about to ask her to the dance.

"Yeah." Lucy said all excited. There was a pause.

" ...Make sure to have lot's of snacks because me and the guys will be hungry." Natsu said In his usual cheery voice.

"Ok." Lucy said then she hung up she couldn't bear to stay on the phone any longer.

"Why am I getting my hopes up, no one will ever ask me to the dance." Lucy said to herself in her defeat.

Lucy walked in to kitchen and pulled out some Oreos and milk and began to eat as she sulked.

"Lucy dear what wrong with you?" He mother asked her with a worried look on her face as she sat down next to Lucy and picked up an Oreo.

"Oh nothing." Lucy said trying to put on a poker face.

"Lucy I'm the woman who carried you for nine months and gave birth to you so I know when something's bothering you." spoke Lucy's mother as she gave her daughter a soft gaze.

" Jeez, can I keep anything from this woman." Lucy wondered

"Mom have you ever asked someone out." Lucy asked her all knowing mother.

"Yes I have, the boy I asked out was actually your father. I was a little older than you are know. You father was the cream of the crop, the best looking boy in school but because of family matters he was not allowed to date. You could have said I was pretty popular with the guys, many of them asked me out but I refused because there was only one guy I had my eye on and his name was Jude Heartfilia. One day I mustered up the courage to actually talk to him, but when it came time for me to ask him out I couldn't speak. Usually, I was good at talking with guys, but with your father I couldn't even make a proper sentence. Just when your father was about to walk out I shouted out " Jude Heartfilia will you go out with me?". He turn out and nodded his head like the cool guy he was. After I asked him out I felt like a rock had been left of my heart, but it was smooth sailing from there your father was actually in arranged marriage but let's save that for another day." Layla completed her tale.

"Wow mom even though you were scared, you still went through with it." Lucy said with amazement in her face.

"Yep you wanna ask out Natsu don't you?" Layla said examining Lucy face.

"W-W-What w-whyyyy would you think that?" spoke trying to keep her true feeling hidden in her face.

"Ok well if you not going to tell me I'm not going to pry but it's late so you should get to bed and remember to hide the cookies so your father won't find them because he is on a diet." Layla said getting up out her seat and walking out the kitchen.

Lucy hid the cookies in the box that said "Bland Bran" knowing her father would never touch it. Then she turned off the light and walked upstairs wondering if she should or should not ask Natsu to the dance.

"What if Natsu waiting for the right time or maybe he going out with someone else. I might look stupid asking Natsu out because the guy usual does that. I should wait for the right time." Lucy concluded

"Ding, Dong, Ding." ran the bell.

"Mom I get the door." Lucy yelled to her mom in the other room.

She open the door, Natsu, Gray, and Lisanna walked in and she closed the door behind them and lead to the living room.

"Hiya Luce." Natsu said happily.

"Hi Natsu, Gray. Lisanna I didn't know you were coming." Lucy greeted them.

"Natsu invited me." Lisanna replied

"Ok, where are the other...s" Ding,Dong,Ding. Lucy walked to door and let in Loke, and some other boys she didn't know. After a couple minutes everyone was situationed in a seat. Natsu began the meeting. "Ok everyone as you know the school festival is beginning Friday. We need to have the best booth ever. So let the ideas fly." Natsu said picking up the a brownie my mom made.

Loke was the first one to shout out "Let's do a maid cafe."

"But were guys." Lucy heard someone say.

"I may be we can do a butler cafe." Lucy suggested

"Great idea Lucy, Lisanna write that down." Natsu replied

"How about a bake sale." said Grey

" Ugh who wants to bake." Lucy heard some murmur.

"I really like that idea, I can help bake." Lisanna said writing it down.

"Let's not do anything." Lucy heard someone yell

" Come on guys show some spirit." Natsu said stuffing another brownie in his face.

"Let's have the girls dress in bunny costumes." Loke suggested. Only he would think of that.

"Yet." Lucy heard a the boy agree.

"I don't know." Natsu said "Will you girl be okay with that?" Lucy froze can she dress like that for people to see.

"Yeah I'm fine with it." said Lisanna" How about you Lucy?" Lucy remain the quiet.

"UMMMMM II don't know ifff II wwould llock gggood in it?" Lucy said quietly looking down at her hands.

"Oh course Luce you good in anything." Natsu said smiling at me. The blood rushed to Lucy's cheeks.

"I think Natsu just want to see in a bunny costume Lucy." I a big boy with spiky black hair replied, I think his name is Gajeel. " Natsu didn't you say that they turn you on." he finished

Natsu blushed and begin to laugh."When did I tell you that."

"Forreal they turn you on ?" Lissanna asked looking at Natsu with interest.

"Let's get back on subject." Natsu said avoid her question.

"I can't think of anything else." someone complained.

"How about we all our idea to gather to make and bakery/butler cafe and the girls will pass out wearing bunnies costumes." Natsu said eating the last brownie. Lucy was still unsure bout the idea but didn't protest. Everyone else nodded their head in agreement.

"So whose going to the dance ?" Asked Gray

"I'm going to the dance with a hottie from class 1-F." Loke said bragging. " Natsu who are you going with?" He continued.

'Ya Natus who are you going with?" Someone yelled out. Natsu looked uncomfortable. He looked at me then looked down.

"I have to use the bathroom. " Natsu said getting up and walking out the living room.

Lucy looked a the the brownie pate it was empty she guessed she could refill it this could be her chance.

" I'm going too refill the snacks." Lucy told them as she got up but then Lisanna walked over to her and said " No let me do it." Lucy felt she should protest because Lisanna was doing something nice so she handed he the plate nodding. Lisanna walked out. After minutes Lucy remembered that she didn't show Lisanna where the kitchen was or where she hidden the snack from he dad. So she made up her mind to go show just in case she got lost on the way there. Lucy heard whispers coming from the kitchen it was Natsu and Lisanna.

"Ummm Natsu will you go to the dance with me." Lisanna said twirling her fingers. She was blushing and looking down at the floor.

There was a pause and finally Natsu spoke. "Ummmm I guess nobody asked me but you." Natsu said. Lucy wanted to scream but she stayed quiet and hide. Lisanna run over to Natsu and gave he a kiss on the cheek. Which just angered Lucy. Natsu just stood still and gave Lisanna a weak smile.

"Is this jealousy?" She thought to herself. Lucy decide to walk in she looked at both stony face trying showing no expressions.

"I just came to make sure you weren't lost." Lucy said to Lisanna.

" Ummmm hey Luce those brownies were delicious." Natsu said rubbing the back of his head.

"I didn't make them thank my mom." Lucy snapped as she turn around and walked out.

The rest of the night Lucy was in a bad mood Nutsu tried to give her hug good bye but she refuse.

"I shouldn't be mad at him it me who was to slow to ask him." She told herself but she had to take her anger on someone right. Lucy laid her head and her pillow wanting to cry but the tears just would come out.

At the Dragneel house Natsu sulked in the house wondering what he did to anger Lucy. Wendy snapped him out of his thoughts to ask him "Did you ask her?" Natus shook his head no.

"Why doesn't anything go right?" He wondered but little did he know this was the least of his troubles.
