I'm high on chocolate! Let's start Part Two: The Day of the Masquerade Ball, right now!

DISCLAIMER: Angelheartz does not own Fairy Tail.

I looked in the mirror and saw a stranger. That stranger looked right at me and moved exactly the way I did. She had long, curly auburn hair and wide azure orbs. She was Lucy Heartfilia in disguise. Yes, that's me! Add the purely white outfit and I'm a whole different person.

"I look like that person!" I pouted. "I'm jealous of her because of that... Well, it's not like I have any other dress I prepared. Oh right! I have this dress in the burgundy... that I used too much. People will recognize me right away." I sat down and placed my hands on my lap. I gazed at my hands. "I almost forgot the mask and the gloves!"

I rummaged the bag Natsu handed to me and brought out the silk gloves. I slid them on and stared at the amethyst-studded white feather mask. I noticed that the gold engravings were true. I clutched it to my chest.

'Thank you, Erza, Gray, Happy... Natsu.' I closed my eyes and let his name float in my thoughts.

"Natsu, huh?" I blushed. "I'm going to tell him later... or maybe not. I don't have time to worry about that. I can come up with things to say, anyway. I'm a writer, I can do this!"

I looked at the clock and I noticed that it was almost ten o clock in the evening. The meeting time was supposed to be ten-thirty.

"Crap, I'm running late!" And I ran to the Sola tree.

Upon reaching the venue, I hurriedly put on my mask, straightened my gown, and entered. I never expected that heads would turn towards me so abruptly and that they were so focused on me, or rather, my disguise. As I passed by, the people mumble statements like: 'beautiful', 'cute', 'lovely', 'graceful' and lots of other wonderful words. But then, a boy with black hair and amber eyes approached me.

"Wow. You're—" The stranger began but my fury cut him off.

"I'm quite the beauty, is it? I look like friggin' Aphrodite, you know, the goddess of love? I'm beautiful yet I can't get the attention of the person I like so much!" I clamped my hands over my mouth, seeing him taken aback by my words. "I'm sorry, I let my voice rise and... I'm sorry, I've been through a lot lately."

He placed his hands on my shoulders. "It's okay, I've been thinking about lots, too. Anyway, I'm going to look for my date. Ciao!" He walked away, but then a flying blue cat blocked his path. I was curious why Happy was talking to that guy so I eavesdropped. Happy told him: "You were talking with your date awhile ago."

He walked to me again and apologized. Music started to play.

Each day by my window

I watch him as he passes by

And I say to myself

I'm so lucky he's so fly

"Shall we dance?" He stretched his hand out and I accepted. We walked beside the Sola tree, hand-in-hand. Warmth radiated from his hand and it spread to the places where he touched me.

To have a boy like him

Is truly a dream come true

Out of all the girlies in the world

He belongs to you

'He's definitely Natsu.'

He placed his left hand on my waist and we joined hands, which sent goose bumps all over my body. I placed my right hand on his shoulder and swayed with the music. I blushed when he twirled me towards him.

But it was just my imagination

Running away with me

Tell you what, it's just my imagination

Running away with me

"What's with the gentleman act and who told you how to dance properly?" I asked. He turned pale.

"Erza did."

I grinned at him. "Aww... you poor little thing."

His eyes met mine and then we found ourselves staring at each other in the middle of the dancing couples.

Then I felt heat spread on my left arm.

"Aaaaaaaah!" I screamed.

Cute, right? The song that was used isn't mine, either. The title of the song is 'Just My Imagination' by Lenny Kravitz.
