Oh My GOODNESS! I just realized that I forgot to put in Lisanna's performance! Fudge... I don't feel like rewriting though so oh well. I hope last chapter wasn't that confusing. Reviewers didn't say anything though so, I guess not? Hahaha.

*Also, to skymaiden1, I saw the video and it WAS cute, sweet, and it went well with the song. I hope I watched the right one though. There was quite a few.

The songs I chose for this chapter are English so I hope you like them. I'm sure you'll like one of them though. I'm positive!

Anyways, thanks for reading it! I now present to you, The Prince and The Peasant Chapter Ten!

ENJOY!

..."...Number eighty-two and number three come on up!" The crowd went crazy with excitement...

-xXx-

After everyone settled down and the judges discussed what to do, Mrs. Aquarius went forward.

"Alright you little brats, we decided to keep the original rule. The four winners here have to battle it off with their performance and one of you will be voted off since there can only be three winners." Students started to cheer again until a contestant spoke up.

"Hey, hey! But what if both of the guys from the music section win? There's only one of us in the Sports section and the Other section!" Banana dude said.

"All is fair in love and music kid. Now shut up." Mrs. Aquarius said obviously annoyed.

"That's not how the saying goes. It's suppose to be wa-"

"Alright! Let's start! Rock, paper, scissors for who goes first or whatever" She said, ignoring banana guy, making him angry. The four played and got the order. Banana dude was up first, second was the black prince, then the swimmer, and last was the angel. Guess angels don't always get the good luck.

At this time, the students were given a piece of paper. After everyone has shown their talent again, the students would write down the name of the person they liked most out of the four. Then, they would be ranked.

-xXx-

The banana's performance was actually amusing. He didn't put on any music, but while he was carving, he made a rhythm. He would bang the tool he was using on the ice in different ways or tap his feet on the floor. It made a weird but cool sound while it echoed in the auditorium. He definitely knew what to do to get attention from spectators.

After him came the black prince. He didn't bring his guitar this time though which piqued some people's curiosity of why. He inserted his cd and the song started. When he sang, some girls started melting and blushing. Some people thought, 'He must like someone to be able to sing a love song like that.' In some parts of the song, he did small dance moves. He sang 'Angel with a Shotgun'. A song with so much emotion and the person who was singing it sang with such confidence in his voice. It made a really nice sound in people's ears.

The swimmer actually had to quit before she started her show. She said something about too much people falling in love with her? Or something like her beloved would be too jealous and that she only needed him, no one else? No one really understood her mumbling, but passed it as dropping out of the competition.

So up next was angel girl. However, should they still call her that? Her outfit was definitely not suppose to be worn by angels. She wore a dark orange mask this time; almost red but not quite. She had a red strapless top that stopped a few inches above her belly button so it looked kind of like a bra. She had black stockings that almost reached her red, pink skirt and she wore the outfit with red heels. She looked...daring. The guys drooled over her and the girls were somewhat impressed by her looks.

She put in her cd and sang. It mismatched her completely. She sang 'Fall For You' by secondhand serenade. She looked like a devil but the way she sang...it was still angelic. It seemed as if she were an angel possessed by a demon but the demon couldn't take over wholly. You could tell she put in a lot of effort even without looking into her eyes hidden behind the mask. Just listening to her voice, you could almost hear her soul singing.

-xXx-

The slips of paper were turned in to the judges. It was already past eleven and the students were being sent home. Since it was Friday, the ranking wouldn't be announced until Monday. So, until then, no one was allowed to say who they were or what number they had just in case someone wanted to sabotage the person for personal reasons.

The gang met up after changing in their practice rooms and went back to the castle. They talked about what they thought of the Talent Competition and the contestants.

"I thought the guy who puked everywhere was pretty funny." Levy said while giggling.

"W-where'd you hear that from, shrimp? Aren't you part of the music section?" Gajeel asked her.

"Yeah, but I just happened to be on a walk because it got loud in the auditorium when I spotted the Other section and saw the whole mishap." Gajeel blushed and stayed silent.

"It sucks that right after Lisanna got back, she got sick with the flu. I'm sure she would have done a dance routine with me." Mira sighed while she looked at her watch for the time.

"Yeah. I feel bad for leaving her there at the castle by herself." Elfman said.

"She wasn't alone. She had Capricorn and Wendy with her. Besides, she wanted us to come here to the competition." Lucy said trying to cheer the Strauss siblings up. There was a bit of traffic so it took longer to get home and everyone fell asleep in the big van. Though, Lucy stayed awake with Natsu.

"Hey Luce?" Natsu asked.

"Hmm?"

"W-what did you think of the guy everyone is calling 'The Black Prince' ?" He said in a weird stuttering voice.

"What do you mean? He's okay I guess. I don't even know him so..." Lucy looked at him in a questioning manner.

"Hehehe. Guess your right." He yawned and his eyes felt heavy. Soon he was sound asleep on Lucy's shoulder.

"H-hey! Natsu? Ugh... The idiot's sleeping." Lucy said as she looked at his face that had a small smile. She took her hand and brushed some stray hair out of his face.

Good night, Natsu. She thought as she soon dozed off into sleep as well.

Done! My wrist hurts from typing in bed. Hahaha. Sorry by the way if you thought I meant to leave out Lisanna. I didn't. She's a really nice person and I like her. I kind of dislike it when people say they hate her. I mean, why? I don't really understand. But who am I to judge? I like NaLu best. So, I guess in a way I'm the same? Just not a hater. Hehe. :3

I hope you liked this chapter. Also, if it seemed like I rushed their performances, I kinda did. I felt lazy today. =_="

MY FAVORITE SONG IS 'FALL FOR YOU'! I just love it. Don't ask me why cause I don't know either! Hahahahaha. Haaaaaaah. (Awkward laughing)
