Chapter 10:
it was a few minutes before Gray was to pick Juvia up for the Fairy Tail dance and Juvia was quickly doing some last minute touch ups before the doorbell rang. Juvia ran to the door to see her boyfriend, Gray standing in front of her holding out a white corsage. Juvia sucked in her breath and took a look at Gray. He was wearing a dark blue dress shirt with the top button undone, black dress pants and a white tuxedo. In other words, to Juvia he looked breathtaking. Gray smiled and looked his girlfriend over. She straightened her hair and she wore a dark blue dress that ended at her knees. As he handed her the corsage and they headed over to Levy's room which was down the hall to see Gageel knock on her door. The iron dragon slayer wore a white dress shirt, and black dress pants and tuxedos. Levy opened the door and Gageel started having a nosebleed (If you didn't know this you can get a nose bleed from excitement and in this case gageel seeing a very pretty Levy). Gray quickly gave him a handkerchief saying he had a feeling this would happen to one of them. As the trio looked at the solid script mage their jaws dropped. Standing in front of them was a blue haired girl that was Levy. She was wearing a yellow dress that went down to her knees and she wore her hair down so it appeared longer. We all said hello and we headed to Fairy Tail, meeting up with Natsu and Lucy along the way. When we met up with the couple they seemed to match a lot. Natsu was wearing a dark red dress shirt with the top button undone and a black tuxedo and dress pants. Beside him stood his girlfriend Lucy who was wearing a red strapless dress that reached just below her knees and her hair was tied up with little strands hanging loose framing her face.
"Aww how cute! Smile!" Levy says as she takes a picture of the couple. When she finishes she states "Oh and Lucy I love your hair!" Lucy blushed. "Cancer did my hair," she whispered to Levy.
"Ooooh can I get him to do mine next time?" Levy exclaimed. "Sure!" Lucy turned to Juvia. Lucy greeted the water mage with a wave. "Hi!"
Juvia smiled back.
Natsu said "Uhhh if you girls will stop your chatting about hair styles or whatever then let's go to the dance already!" and he noticed Lucy looked hurt so he grinned and said. "Oh boy Lucy you look so pretty who did your hair?"
Lucy slapped him playfully and Levy and Juvia laughed. When they got to the guild they entered to see a room with blue and white everywhere! Blue and white balloons and streamers. It seemed that the theme of the room were those two colors. The group split up and went of into the guild with their date. After what seems to be an hour Mira and Fried go up onto the stage and called for every ones attention.
"Hello everyone we hope you are enjoying the Fairy Tail Dance!" the crowd cheered and Mira continued. "I would also like to congratulate the new couples of Fairy Tail!" and the spotlights fall on Natsu and Lucy, Grey and Juvia, Gageel and Levy, Happy and Carla, Cana and Makao and Romeo and Wendy.
"Also two more announcements!" Mira says with a wink at Evergreen and she just remembered that she never confessed to Elfman, who was across the room.
Damn! She is going to tell everyone I like Elfman! Well I better make the confirmation good. Evergreen says to herself as she slowly makes her way through the crowd to Elfman. Mira saw Evergreen making her move towards her little brother so she decided to say it.
"My dear friend Evergreen is falling head over heels in love for a certain boy and she is sadly to afraid to admit it so she asked me to tell him for her." Those words got every ones attention. Near the middle of the group stood Levy and Juvia shaking their heads in pity for Evergreen.
"Poor Evergreen, never will be able to stay in public after this." Levy smirked.
"But at least she got Elfman's attention!" Juvia said as Evergreen stopped moving and Elfman was looking at her.
"My friend Evergreen is falling in love with the 'man' of the guild, the one who has mastered his 'take over soul'! Ladies and gentlemen! Elfman, Evergreen loves you!" Mira exclaims. Elfman turns red in the face and turns toward Evergreen.
"E-e-ever is that true?" Elfman stutters. Evergreen looks down and nods. Around the guild every one is thinking the same thing.
Evergreen in love? Why does she look so shy? She is NEVER like that! Whoa a new side of Evergreen has been revealed.
"Elfman c-can I talk to you for a sec?" Evergreen says as she guides him to the back room and Mira snickered.
Oops! That's the lovebird room I set up for you two!
"And last announcement is coming from Azlack and Bisca!" Mira says as the two walk onto the stage.
"Well we just want to say a couple of things!" Azlack says. "Me and Bisca have been dating for a while." The guild gasps in shock as Bisca nods her head in confirmation. "And we have one more announcement I hope." Azlack continues and Bisca gets a confused look on her face.
"Bisca I have loved you for a long time and I want to be with you forever!" Azlack gets on one knee and produces a silver ring with the Fairy Tail sign on it. Bisca's face turns a light shade of pink.
"Will you marry me?" Azlack says and the guild turns silent and Bisca smiles wide.
"YES YES I WILL!" She says in delight and as they share a kiss as an engaged couple the guild claps. After that the dance just continues. Later everyone sits at a table and eats dinner. Later Mira goes back onstage and sing another song for everyone. Near the end of the dance Evergreen and Elfman come out of the back room sweating and smiling. (hee hee).
"Okay everyone! Me and the girls have been working on this little slide show for today and now we would like to show it in honor of the new couples!" Mira cheered and Juvia's face paled as the room dims. Soon a screen comes down and hangs from a wall and the song 'Rock City Boy .' starts playing. Little clips and pictures from every couple (except Evergreen and Elfman) confessing were shown. It started off with Cana and Makao then Natsu and Lucy, Romeo and Wendy, Gray and Juvia, Happy and Carla, Gageel and Levy, Jellal and Erza, Azlack proposing to Bisca and lastly a group picture. After about ten minutes the video ended. Everyone rose to there feet and clapped and cheered.
"HEY WHY DIDN'T YOU PUT YOU AND FRIED IN THERE MIRA!" Lucy yelled as in the video she felt very embarrassed.
"Well... I didn't want to be in the video?" Mira said
"THAT'S NOT A GOOD REASON!"
"I think it is"
"THEN KISS FRIED HERE AND NOW!" Lucy retorted with anger. Mira blushed slightly and quickly pulled Fried into a kiss. After everyone cheered and headed home. The girls bid their dates goodbye and bolted for the door only to be stopped by the boys as they pulled them into a room.
"Okay explain why one of you stalked us while we were confessing!" Gray demanded as he cornered Juvia.
"M-Mira who followed us when they got pictures and videos of Juvia and Gray-sama?" Juvia asked the calm white haired mage.
"Oh that... I got that from Lisanna she turned into a mouse and recorded it." Mira said gently. When she sees a frustrated Gray head towards the door she adds. "Oh and if you try to hurt her I will go Satan Soul" That stops Gray in his tracks and he walks back to Juvia. Mira smiles and decides to clear everything out.
"Okay Juvia and Levy recorded Natsu and Lucy, I recorded Cana and Makao, Erza and Juvia recorded Wendy and Romeo, Lucy and Levy recorded Erza and Jellal, Lily recorded Levy, Gageel, Happy and Carla, Lisanna and the girls from Fairy Hills recorded Gray and Juvia, everyone saw me admit to Fried, and I did Azlack and Bisca." When Mira finishes she hears a shout from Natsu.
"Oi Popsicle! Did you know your girlfriend recorded Lucy confess her love to me? That is invading our privacy!"
"Like I care! Juvia is the best and that's all that matters for me!" Gray retorts. "Lets go Juvia!" and with that the ice mage and the water mage leave the room.
Meanwhile Evergreen and Elfman were being congratulated by a whole bunch of other people. Elfman was grinning and yelling "romance is all about being a man!" and Evergreen was just gazing adoringly at him. Then she sighed sadly.
Elfman pulled her away. "What's wrong, Ever?" "Oh nothing really..." She closed her eyes and sighed again.
"Yes there is something wrong, real men can tell if their loves are upset!" Elfman said sternly. "It's just that... I'm afraid I might turn you to stone if you see me without my glasses... I don't want to be with you and yet have a boundary of glass..." She began crying but Elfman smiled.
"Real men won't worry about that if they actually love their ladies. And I love you Ever!" Evergreen looked up. "Elf - Elfman..."
Elfman shook his head when she tried to speak. "Listen, Ever. The moment you and I became partners for the Tenrou Island S-Class Exam, I began to love you. And I still do, I will forever," he said. Evergreen blushed as the man wiped her tears off her face.
"Even if you turn me to stone you can always turn me back. Real men don't mind being turned to stone by their wives" he said as he put one arm around her shoulders and led her back to the other Fairy Tail members. Evergreen blushed at the word 'wives' and wondered if her dream would ever go that far...
