Music used for this is Titanic Third Class Party.

In the morning Natsu decided to take things a little easy and stop by a town to just relax. This particular town happened to be the same one where Erza had lived with Pastor Makarov so she decided to spend her time there visiting him. Gray, Natsu, and Lucy decided to show Juvia around the town, allowing her to see some of the sights there. They visited many shops, stands, and buildings. Every spot they went to Juvia just looked at it with her blue eyes full of wonder and amazement, she had just never seen so many things like what was in the town.

"She sure does like to stare at stuff." Natsu said as Juvia stared up close at a vase that was being sold at a stand. She looked at as it was precious gold or silver.

"Considering where she's from can you blame her?" Lucy asked. "Unlike us she doesn't see this stuff everyday."

Just then a young boy and his pet dog walked by them. The dog was very big and hairy and when it caught hold of Juvia's scent, it sensed that it was not a creature of this world and it curiously headed toward her while barking loudly. Frightened by the large and very loud animal that she had never seen before, Juvia ran and hid behind Gray fearfully.

"Hey what's wrong?" He asked her.

She pointed to the dog that was walking toward them. It chased her around Gray, determined to get a better smell of her scent so it could figure out just what kind of person she was.

"Hey, hey, take it easy Juvia. It's only a dog." He told her.

"What's a dog?" She asked clinging to his arm. "And why is after me? Does it want to eat me?"

"That's right, you've probably never seen a dog before."

"Copper bad dog! Get down!" The boy said trying to get his dog to calm down. "I'm sorry about him. He's very excitable but he won't hurt you. He just wants to say hello."

Once it got a good whiff of Juvia's scent the dog realized that despite not being from this world she was a good person and posed no threat to the boy he was protecting. So he gave Juvia a lick on the cheek and left with the boy.

"It's okay Juvia, dogs don't eat people." Gray assured her.

"Then why did it lick me?"

"That's just a dog's way of saying hello. To humans, dogs are pets. Most of the time they're very friendly."

"Why was it chasing me?"

"It probably never smelled anything like you before." Natsu said. "Dogs have stronger noses than humans."

"Do all human pets act that way?" Juvia asked.

"Happy doesn't." Natsu said. "He's relatively calm when he smells someone new. But he's just as loyal and protective as any dog."

They continued walking through town until they reached the town square where musicians were getting ready to play music.

"Would you like to dance when the music starts?" Lucy asked Natsu.

"Sorry I don't dance." He declined.

"Oh come on it's fun to dance."

"Maybe it's fun for you but it's not for me."

"Oh please. I haven't danced with anyone since I was a kid."

"No way. I'm not dancing and there's nothing you can do-"

"Oh shut up and dance with her." Gray interrupted and he shoved Natsu causing him to bump into Lucy and get into a position where his arms were around her waist. He blushed and so did she.

"Okay...I guess one dance couldn't hurt."

She smiled and took him by the hands leading him to where everyone else was partnering up. Gray turned to Juvia.

"Do you wanna dance too?" He asked her.

"I want to but I don't know how." She answered. "I never have."

"I'll teach you." Their hands joined and they got into position. "My mother taught me how to dance and she always said that dancing isn't just steps, she said that it was a feeling in your heart and if you trust it the world will fade away, all you'll hear is music and all you'll feel is..."

He trailed off when his eyes met hers again and he suddenly started to get nervous.

"Is...Is...Is love."

Juvia blushed and smiled upon hearing him say love. When the music started he quickly snapped out of his nervous feeling and proceeded to teach her.

"Just follow my lead." He told her.

"Okay."

The music was wild, playful, and exciting. Everyone was clapping, laughing, spinning, and jumping. Lucy was taken by surprise by this. She wasn't expecting the music and dancing to be like this. Although it was familiar to her, she wasn't used to hearing it. The music she and dancing was accustomed to was more quiet and refined which she enjoyed but it never really gave her the feeling of an adrenaline rush.

Natsu and Gray on the other hand, this was the kind of music and dancing they had known their entire lives. Natsu remembered the first time he learned to dance. It was Easter, he was ten years old and he, Gray, and his fatherwere visiting Erza at the church. Pastor Makarov was holding an Easter party after service and everyone was dancing including Erza. His father and Gray had decided to dance with two of the nuns there, Natsu had wanted to just sit out but Erza wasn't having any of it. She grabbed him by the arms and jerked him on to the dance floor where she forcibly taught him how to dance.
He wouldn't admit it but in the end he enjoyed dancing with Erza and right now he was enjoying dancing with Lucy.

"Having fun?" He asked the blonde.

"I guess but I'm having trouble keeping up with the music." She said. "It sure is fast."

"You just have to move faster than the music." He told her.

"How do you do that?"

Natsu gave her a mischievous grin and looked over at Gray.

"Hey Gray, Lucy wants to know how we can move faster than the music."

"Oh does she now?" Gray asked with an equally mischievous grin.

"Should we show the ladies how we do that?"

"Why not?"

"Hold on what are you doing?" Lucy asked.

"You'll see."

With that said, Natsu and Gray moved themselves and their partners into the back of the crowd where there weren't that many people and there was much more space. Then after each of the young men gave their young ladies a wink they took them by their hands and started to spin around and around.

"No Natsu! Stop! I'm getting dizzy!" Lucy laughed.

"You wanted to know how to move faster than the music." He chuckled. "I bet no one's ever danced with you this way?"

"No." She was trying so hard not to smile or laugh but she just couldn't help herself. "This is a whole new experience for me. Maybe we should stop."

"No I don't think so."

"What?!"

"Hey you brought this on yourself! You made me dance so now we're going to dance til we drop!"

"Oh no!"

She said that she wanted to stop but truth be told she was having the time of her life at the moment and so was Juvia. True her feet hurt terribly from the intense moving but she was enjoying having her hands in Gray's so much that she ignored the pain.

"So this is what dancing is like." She said.

"Do you like it?" Gray asked her.

"I love it! I feel like I'm flying! No wonder you humans love to do this so much!"

They danced and danced until Natsu accidentally lost his footing and fell over pulling Lucy with him and crashing into a nearby fish stand.

"Are you guys okay?" Gray asked.

Natsu and Lucy only looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"We're okay." Lucy said trying to keep her laughter under control.

"My fish!" The man at the fish stand shouted when he saw the huge mess of fallen fish.

"Sorry about that sir." Natsu said standing up and then helping Lucy to her back on to her feet.

"You will pay for this!" The man said as his face turned red with anger.

"I'm sorry sir but we're a little short on money."

"Then you'll work it off!"

"But sir-"

"It's either that or I turn you other to the authorities!"

While the man angrily confronted Natsu, Juvia looked over to see that among the spilled fish there were also some oysters. She picked one of them up and using her special merfolk powers, she opened up the oyster.

"Excuse me sir will this pay for the damages?" In her hand were two white pearls.

"Whoa! Are those real?!" The man said examining them.

"Yes sir." She said.

"In that case it's a deal."

He took the pearls from her and allowed Natsu and his friends to leave.
