I do not own Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima does

It had been a few days since the celebration of the new team and the new S-class mages. Levy woke up the day after the party only to be scolded and given the same punishment as the others, no missions for 2 months, no S-class trial and no participation in the GMG and she was also made to apologise to Lauren in front of the guild and to mean it, plus also apologise to gajeel for thinking so low of him. Levy still didn't like the idea of them together but kept it to herself not wanting to aggravate the master anymore.

The guild was still on edge but lively as ever and it seemed a certain group of people knew there was something was occurring within the next three days, Lauren's 20th birthday.

Mira's P.O.V

I was secretly planning Lauren's birthday party, after Laxus came to me for two reason's one of them being his sister's birthday and the other was how he had could tell Lucy he loved her. I squealed when he told me he loved her and I could just picture the wedding, the babies, oh my mind was running wild. I did help him with both issues. Lauren's birthday party was going to be huge and something I know she'd like plus I want to see her in an elegant gown, she's always in jeans and shirts with her jacket, and considering I was giving her the make-over and Lucy was choosing the dress as her present it was going to be fantastic.

We are throwing the party on the night of her birthday and the excuse to get her wearing the dress is that it's a mission the requires ballroom dancing, and it will be a masquerade ball party in Lauren's honour. I had given team silver-gold the job of keeping Lauren away for the next few days while I organise the party and have the guild help set it all up. I already had the cake all ready and Erza even promised not to touch it and so did Natsu. It was a large Chocolate cake, with dark chocolate icing and with designs of roses and elegant designs made out of mint cream surrounding the edges of the cake, it was a master piece. Now all we had to do was get the dress for the birthday girl and our presents, plus our own attire, it was after all it is a masquerade ball.

Lauren's P.O.V

I had my suspicions the guild was up to something considering my team wouldn't even let me go to the guild, and now Lucy was taking me out dress shopping. "Oooooh this is nice, and this one oh and this one, ok Laurie go try all three on and show me each one" said an enthusiastic Lucy, the dresses where stunning and expensive, plus I didn't think they would suit me, I wear short party dresses and even then that's a rare occasion.

But I grabbed all three dresses and heading for the changing room, I decided to try on the red dress first, the dress was beautiful, long and a slit ran up to my mid-thigh it's sleeves reached down to my elbows. It was lovely but I wasn't sure it was me, I walked out to show Lucy who agreed and ushered me back in to try on the next dress which was black and strapless with two slips this time both on either side, but I found it clashed with my jet black hair.

Lucy of course agreed and again quickly ushered me back in, I didn't even realise the next one until I saw myself in the full length mirror. I gasped, a beautiful light blue dress ankle length, tight around the chest but flowed down to my ankles, the middle of the dress had a black ribbon sewed into it and the back was left open until it reached just above my butt and the sleeves were on the side, resting just below my shoulders and where small and made out of silk, it was magnificent.

"Lauren what's wrong?" called Lucy, "nothing it's just I think I like this one" I called back out, I walked out and Lucy gasped "oh yes, yes, yes! it's perfect!" she shouted happily jumping up and down, I never thought I'd ever wear a dress like this, ever. I went back into the change room and changed back to my normal clothes; jeans and a red tank-top with my white jacket thrown over the top, Lucy paid for my dress saying it was a present for me for my birthday and a thank-you for helping her get so strong.

Later that day Gajeel took me out on a date, our first date was really great, a nice dinner at a simple restaurant nothing too fancy, just how I like it and then we walked around the park before we went back to his place where I was still staying while this whole drama was happening. Today's date was at the beach which sounded heaps of fun and it was a double date with Laxus and Lucy. Lucy and I were Laughing as the boys just sat down in the sand, we quickly rid ourselves of our summer dresses, mine was white and Lucy's was pink. Lucy was wearing a black bikini with gold swirls on it, definitely from the celestial world. I watched my brothers jaw drop at his girlfriends beauty while gajeel just kept staring at me with lust, my bikini was a bright red string bikini, Lucy and I laughed and ran down the ocean with the boys chasing after us.

~time skip: The day of Lauren's birthday~

The last few days have been great and today was just as good, gajeel cooked me breakfast in bed as a birthday treat, then Lucy and mira took me out shopping, but it was now late in the afternoon.

Lucy's P.O.V

"Okay Lucy grab the make-up and call cancer, we got a make-over to do for this 'mission'" said mira, she loved the dress and we agreed cancer would do Lauren's hair and mira would do her make-up. Lauren was already dressed in her gown and mira had brought her mask, it was baby blue and was outlined in black. Mira got to work using simple shades of blue and silver for her eye-shadow and a touch of lip-gloss and she was done, simple but amazing. I called cancer out who styled her hair into a bun letting tendrils of hair fall out of the bun in curls and her bangs were curled as well. When we finally let her look in the mirror she froze. "What's wrong is it bad" asked my spirit, "no, it's amazing, I...i look like my mother, elegant" she answered tears nearly escaping her eyes, to which mira ordered her not to cry and to Lightning teleport to the guild in 10min so we could leave for the 'mission'.

We all waited inside dressed for the party and the sound of lightning striking the ground was heard outside, Lauren stepped through the doors and we yelled out 'SURPRISE' all at once, she was so shocked she actually said 'kya!'. The presents where all given out and Virgo took them to gajeel's place where she could open them, the giant cake came out and to our surprise Natsu behaved himself and didn't fight with gray or anyone. We all sung happy birthday to Lauren who was trying to hold back tears. After cake we all went off to dance, well natsu didn't because he couldn't no matter how much lisanna begged. Jellal even turned up without the mistogan disguise because thanks to Lauren he was cleared of his crimes and so was meredy. Different guilds had all come to celebrate her birthday which was amazing. Now all I needed was Laxus to dance with me because Gajeel and Lauren where already dancing.

Laxus's P.O.V

I watched my sister dance with Gajeel, and a part of me said she looked like our mother being all elegant. It was good seeing her smiling and laughing with all the different guilds, and Gajeel looked funny too so that was a bonus plus flame-brain actually wore nice clothes, not a suit but nice clothes, it was priceless. But out of everyone Lucy was the most stunning in her strapless black dress with little gems decorating the chest part of the dress, a long slit up the left side of her dress made its way up until it reached mid-thigh, her long blonde hair in gentle waves, she was smiling and laughing with mira and freed.

"Care to dance beautiful" I said bowing slightly, it was cute to see her blush, but she grabbed my hand and I walked her on the dance floor. "You look handsome Laxus" she said grinning, her eyes sparkled behind her black and gold mask. "And you miss look absolutely magnificent", we danced for a while which was boring but it kept Lucy happy so I dealt with it, time to put mira's plan into action. I walked Lucy up to the second floor "Laxus is something wrong" she asked doing that head tilt thing she does "No nothing's wrong its just- I love you Lucy heartfillia" I blurted out well there goes the plan, I watched as her eyes widen and then she grinned, I hope this was good "I love you too, baka" she said gently, I wrapped my arms around her holding her close. So mira's plan was worthless, damn demon woman made me work for her help, and yet Lucy does love me and mira made me do ridiculous chores to get her help.

Gajeel's P.O.V

I hate dancing, why did the demon woman chose a ball room style party, oh wait that's right because Lauren likes masquerade parties. I could hear the whole conversation with sparky and bunny-girl. "Looks like sparky just told bunny he loves her" I said to the beautiful girl dancing with me, "about time he did, I was about to force him to say it" she laughed.

"Hey Gajeel?" I looked down at her again "even after all this drama with my father is over do you think we could still live together?" she asked, completely catching me off guard, I wanted to but I didn't think she did, this girl was full of surprises "yeah, why not, we're already use to living together, plus your place is cool and secluded" I answered back, okay so maybe I just like the whole modern thing and the fact the house was huge.

"So your moving into my place then?" I nodded in consent to her question "um pantherlilly just left with a purple exceed" I turned around just too see two tails go out the door, so he does have a girl then. "That means we have the place all too ourselves then" I said as I pulled her closer to me and to get my meaning across more I kissed her neck and bit her ear. "hmmm well I for one want to go home, you coming gajeel?" she purred out. I followed Lauren outside and wrapped my arms around her, I hated travelling by lightning but it was quick.

And done another chapter. Next chapter will be the last lemon and it's between gajeel and Lauren (obviously!) I'm only doing the two lemons because that's all I feel is necessary in this story. Hope you like the chapter
