(A/N)

Thanks so much for your support! I've come to the realization that I'm trying to push through this story, and that from here on out, I'm going to try to 'calm my tits', as some would say. Hakuna my tatas. Lol I hope that you enjoy this chapter! And thanks for the advice given!

It was here. It was finally here! Saturday finally rolled around, and I was getting ready with Levy, Erza and Mira. We were in the small bedroom that I call my own, helping each other do our hair and make-up. Our 'dates' were downstairs in the living room, getting ready. I say 'dates' because, technically, Natsu hadn't asked me to Prom. Sure, we were dating, but still. Every girl wants to be asked, right? I know I wanted to be.

We all did one last look in the mirror before heading downstairs. Levy was wearing a long blue dress that sparkled with every move she took. Erza wore a long black dress that had a slit up the right leg. Mira was wearing a long purple dress that flowed like water at the bottom. We looked hot.

The boys were waiting for us. Laxus was even there to take Mira, which surprised me. I didn't expect him to be the type for sweet, innocent Mira.

"Finally!" Natsu whined, but flashed us a smile. "Ready to go, Luce?"

"Yeah!" We all went outside and stepped into the limousine, girls on one side and boys on the other. We were headed to The Manor in town. It seemed to fit the theme properly, in my opinion.

The ride there was silent, making me slightly uncomfortable. I was glad when we all finally filed out of the limo. It was suffocating.

"Luce?" I looked over at Natsu, who had stuck his arm out for me."

Smiling, I linked my arm with his, walking up the staircase. When we entered the building, the loud music hurt my sensitive ears at first, but they got used to it quickly. We walked onto the dancefloor, and I couldn't help but gawk at everything. There were people everywhere, all having an amazing time.

"Alright, seniors! It's time to announce the Prom King and Queen!" A voice over the speaker said, earning cheers from everyone. "The Prom King is... Natsu Dragneel!" More cheers. I watched him go and get his crown. Of course he's Prom King. He's super popular! I knew I wouldn't be announced. I wasn't even nominated. "And last but not least, your Prom Queen is... Lisanna Strauss!" Well, shit.

I watched as she blushed and stood next to Natsu. Too close to Natsu. Her shoulder was touching his, and I could feel an animalistic demeanor come over me. "Now, it's time for the Prom King and Queen dance!" The man over the speaker said again, making me slightly growl. Luckily nobody heard it.

Everyone cleared a spot for the duo as they came to the center of the dance floor. Clenching my hands, I decided to go outside for some fresh air. If I stayed in there any longer, I might accidentally tear somebody apart. I went down the steps and sat on the last one, taking in a deep breath of the fresh spring air. I inhaled and exhaled repeatedly until I felt calm, then I made my way back up the stairs and into The Manor. When I got inside, everyone was dancing, and I couldn't seem to find Natsu.

I made my way through the crowd, trying to find him. When I finally did, I saw him fighting with Gray, who had begun stripping out of his suit.

"What'd you say to me, stripper?!"

"I said, you look like an idiot, flamebrain!"

"Ice princess!"

"Dragon snot!"

"Do we have a problem here?" Erza was glowing red with rage, her eyes glowing. I sweat dropped as the two males immediately stopped fighting and pretended that they were brothers.

"No, ma'am!" They shouted in unison.

"Good."

"Hey, Natsu!" I called out, figuring it was finally safe for me to make my way over to him.

"Oi, Luce! Where did you go?"

"Outside. I needed some air." I said, smiling.

"O-oh." Just then, a slow dance came on. "Nee, Luce, wanna dance?"

"I'm not very good at it..." I blushed, looking away.

"It's not that hard. C'mon!" He grabbed my hand and led me to the dancefloor. He put his hands on my waist and I wrapped my own around his neck as we began to sway side to side.

"Luce?"

"Yeah, Natsu?"

"I think... I love you." Natsu stared into my eyes, completely serious.

"R-really?" I was turning into a tomato, I knew it.

"Y-yeah..." He trailed off. I realized he was waiting for a response.

"I think I love you, too." I said, smiling as he broke out into a goofy grin.

And that was the first time I had ever said that to anyone besides my mother.

Another short chapter, I know. I'm super sorry. It seems that my allergy pills are making me sleepy, so I wanted to get this chapter out of the way before I conked out for the night. I hope you enjoyed!
