*Lisanna's p.o.v*
Almost all of the preparations for tonight's party were ready, all we needed now was everyone to arrive. Only slight problem was that the newest couple of fairy tail were adamantly denying that they weren't really together. Even though Romeo had called Wendy his girlfriend a few hours ago.
"But you were holding hands and Romeo stood up for you," I pointed out to the young pair as I set up the food and non-alcohol table. "He even said the G word."
"I tripped and Romeo-kun grabbed my hand so I wouldn't fall and hurt myself." Wendy protested, her face blazing.
"Of course I'd stick up for Wendy shes a great nakama," Romeo mumbled while blushing himself. "That was...that was just me putting my dad in his place."
"I don't buy it," I said firmly causing them to sigh in defeat. "But anyway what's the problem you like each other right?" They nodded in union while looking in opposite directions.
"As more than simple nakama?" I injured raising my eyebrow. They nodded again still not looking at each other, or me.
"Well then you're a couple," I sang and left the two blushing mages to their own devices as I hurried back to what I had previously been doing, setting up the food table and getting Bixlow to go pick up some cakes from town as Mira-nee and I couldn't bake enough in time for the party, especially with Erza due back any moment now.
"Where is master?" Erza boomed from the door followed by a sheepish looking Jellal. Speak of the devil!
"Welcome home Erza, Jellal." I called and waved as did everyone else. "Masters in his office with Laxus go right up."
"Thank you Lisanna," The requip mage said politely before heading up the stairs leaving a baffled Jellal by the door. He had been with us almost a year now but was still extremely shy whenever he was in the guild. Completely unlike our other new member Meldy who chatted and partied just like everyone else.
"Yo Jellal," I shouted over to the blue haired mage gaining his attention so I could wave him over to me. Luckily for him he came of his own volition and didn't require me to haul his ass over to the bar.
"Um yes?" He asked taking in the hustle and bustle of the hall.
"I need you help," I smiled holding up an arm full of decorations that needed putting up.
"Okay my I ask why?" He asked clearly puzzled by all the commotion. Did the poor guy not know party preparations when he saw them? Scratch that he probably hadn't seen much of any party planning before now.
"We are having a party to celebrate Wendy and Romeo becoming a couple and I need your telekinesis magic to help me put these up." I smiled, trying to make my newest nakama feel more at home here, it didn't appear to be working. How on earthland had Erza convinced this guy to physically join us?
"So..where do you want them?" He asked and I pointed to all the high places not many people without telekinesis or a magical flying cat, could reach and he set about his work silently. He really was trying hard to be Mystogan's replacement, aside from the whole avoiding the guild like it contained the plague thing, he barely talked to anybody either.
I'd heard from Meldy that Erza and Jellal had almost kissed just before last year's games but then he'd pushed her away and lied about having a fiance, the idiot. Apparently is was some nonsense about not allowing himself to love a person who walks the path of light or what not. I'd basically called it a load of bull crap and Meldy had agreed with me on that point. She had also told me how Jellal was really deeply in love with our Titania and I knew visa versa Erza was also madly in love with him...but they were guild mates now and Jellal was still being stubborn about everything. What the hell did I need to do to get them to just confess to each other? Same goes for every other couple here...wait I'm having a sense of deja vu I've had this same internal ramble before...
"She's not a man!" Rang through the guild followed by a loud smack sound...Ah geez what had my big brother done now to upset Evergreen?
"But it's manly to step up ones relationship when and where it's needed," Elf-niichan protested rubbing the back of his head.
"Wendy is a girl you muscle brained buffoon," Evergreen yelled waving her fan around.
"I know that you stubborn woman!" Elfman said backing away from the fan. Evergreen may not look it but when she wanted to she had a hell of a wallop to her, which was part of why I thought she would make a great pair with Elf-niichan. That and the fact they were both smitten with each other, but were too damn stubborn to just fess up and be together. I watched as the two proceeded to have a pissing contest, much like Natsu and Gray's just minus the fist fighting, god this guild was hopeless at times.
"Yo lovebirds quit the married couples spat would ya, we're trying to sort a party out here and we don't have long left till it starts," Bixlow bellowed from behind me, quite literally making me jump out of my skin. When had he snuck up on me?
"We're not married!" They both yelled in unison turning to face Bixlow with a look that screamed we shall kill you! I giggled as I felt Bixlow wrapped his long arms around me and pull me into his warm body before burying his face in my neck...The rat bastard was using me as a shield!
"Hey! Just who do you think you are using as a shield?" I grumbled but feeling any annoyance in me disappear as I felt his lips press into the space where my neck meet my shoulder. The scene though had served its purpose of making Elfgreen, as the guild called them, back off in embarrassment at what was happening before them.
"Hmmm my lovely girlfriend," Bixlow murmured into neck. Oh that felt nice I thought before my face turned beet root red as I remembered where we were. Crap why did he always make me feel like this in public places?!
"You'll pay for that," I growled playfully pulling away so I could turn and face him.
"Oh I plan too," Bixlow grinned and allowed his tongue to roll out showing off his fairy tail mark...I wondered yet again what he could do with that appendage if we were alone? No now was not the time to be thinking of perverted things! I had a party to sort and other things to handle as well.
"So did everything go okay?" I asked cryptically as I noticed both Gajeel and Laxus were hanging around and I really didn't need them to over hear my plans.
"Yeah smooth sailing all the way," Bixlow replied pulling me into a hug.
"Well then I have to go get changed for the party," I winked at him and extricated myself from his arms before I started to make my way towards Mira-nee's office on the second floor where my party clothes were.
"Can I join?" Bixlow called after me wistfully. He was probably enjoying the view. I turned my head just in time to see a large paw of a hand grab hold of Bixlow's collar and haul him away to where Elfman and Freed were sitting. haha the perv got caught!
"Maybe next time," I called sweetly to the man still in Laxus's clutches and saw his cheeks momentarily colour before he returned to his usual cocky grin.
"I'll hold ya to that babe!" He replied before I made it to the top of the stairs and hurried to get changed, seeing as there were only 15 minutes before the party started. I struggled out of my usual t-shirt and shorts that I wore to work and pulled out my brand new party outfit, which I thought looked amazing on me. Lucy and Juvia had agreed to when we'd bought it in the shop a few days ago but I'd never imagined I'd get to wear it so soon.
I shimmied my new pale baby blue dress over my curvaceous frame before tying the strings around the back of my neck. It was one of those boob tube type dresses but with a hoop in the top that held two pieces of material that turned it into a halter neck. I applied a pair of silver strappy high heeled sandals and just a touch of makeup, I also added small silver clip studded with blue gems to my hair. Giving myself a last once over in the mirror I decided I looked as good as I could and hoped Bixlow liked it, before taking a deep breath and checking the time...What?! It's 20:15 already how on Earth land had I taken half an hour to get ready? Oh dear I'd better get back down stairs asap. I opened the door and started to make my way down the stairs taking in the pounding music that had already started. Mira-nee had decided to hold a disco party where the entire guild could celebrate Wendy and Romeo's new relationship but it could also serve as a way for everyone to let their hair down and have a good time too. No-one had objected so it had been simple to set up.
I took in the sight that hit me as I got halfway down the stairs, the hall looked amazing even if I did say so myself the lacrima ball was shooting of different coloured lights in all directions, a large space had been cleared in the center of the guild to act as a dance floor and already people were dancing. All the girls looked amazing seeing as we'd decided to all dress up tonight, apart from Wendy who hadn't wanted to change but I think she had been kidnapped earlier on by Levy and Lucy to get a makeover. We'd hired some professional bar staff to work for us just for tonight so that every member could enjoy the fun. Thank you Master for suggesting that! As I continued taking in the guild I spotted Cana and Juvia at a table set back towards the guild doors and decided to make my way over there and have a chat. I was waiting for Mira-nee and Freed to re enter the guild before I set my real plans for tonight into action.
"Hey Cana, Juvia," I called as I made my way to them. "What do you think?"
"You and your sister outdid yourselves this time girl," Cana beamed at me before pulling a barrel up to her mouth. Yeah Bacchus really was her soul mate, only man on the planet who could take her in a drinking contest and win.
"Juvia agrees you have done a really great job," Juvia said giving me a small smile.
"It was easy really lots of people pitched in, so I can't take all the credit." I explained taking the seat next to the water mage.
"By the way Lisanna has Bixlow seen what you're wearing?" Cana asked, giving me a once over that made me blush.
"No why?" I replied feeling self conscious and was starting to worry about what I was wearing.
"Cause you look amazing," Cana winked at me causing me to blush even harder before having a wonderful idea to get my own back.
"Has Bacchus seen what you're wearing?" I teased leaning in to prop my elbows on the table in front of me. Her face showed how shocked she was that I knew about her relationship before she replaced it with a smug grin.
"He will later when he gets here," She laughed taking another swig of her barrel.
"So you're finally ready to let the guild know are you?" I inquired seeing as that guy had ruined my plans for her and Laxus. I sure as hell wasn't going to let any little detail slip me by from now on.
"Yeah and when will I get a better chance than a party to celebrate a new couple," She cackled before standing up and making her way towards the dance floor swaying her skinny jean clad hips as she went.
"Who is Bacchus again?" Juvia asked from beside me. Whoops almost forgot about her.
"You remember the guy who drank Cana under the table and who Elfman beat last year at the games," I said turning my full attention to the water mage. Wow she had really gone all out tonight, and looked marvelous. She was wearing a sea blue wrap around dress that showed her figure to the best advantage (but didn't look like she was being overly exposed like some of the other girls dresses, mine included) and to top it off she had a pair of black knee high boots to finish it off. She had also pulled her hair back using a big hair grip, but had left a few strands down to frame her face. I'm serious how could Gray turn this girl down, she was a knock out.
"Juvia where did you get that outfit?" I asked totally changing the subject.
"Erm Lucy-san took Juvia shopping the moment she heard there was going to be a party...Is it too much?" The shy water mage whispered looking down at her lap.I had almost missed what Juvia had said over the music.
"She did right and you look fabulous," I said giving the girl a hug. "Hey I have an idea, do you want to grab Gray's attention?" At the mention of her beloved Gray, Juvia's head shot right up to look me square in the face.
"How can Juvia do that? Gray-sama has made it very clear that he does not wish to be with Juvia," The girl pouted. "Even though Juvia followed everyone's advice and 'backed off'." The heartbroken look on her face made me furious at how stupid my childhood friend was and he claimed to be smarter than the pyro!
"Well I think I spotted Gray at a table towards the dance floor and he was sitting with Bixlow, Laxus and Loki, so maybe some dirty dancing could gain his attention?" I suggested watching as the girl in front of me thought it over, looked for Gray in the crowd, thought it over some more and then returned to staring at her lap.
"Juvia does not know how to...dirty dance," She confessed looking embarrassed by her lack of knowledge about certain areas of life, she was just so adorable!
"It's simple really you sway your hips from side to side with the beat of the music and let you hand roam from your hair down over the rest of your body..like what Cana's doing," I said pointing towards the card mage who took sexy to a whole new level, damn her. Juvia turned to watch her friend and looked like she was about to have a brain aneurysm poor thing.
"Ju..Juvia...coul..couldn't...possibly," She stammered looking horrified at the very idea. Thinking about it Juvia really was the most modest out of all of us.
"Well you could always dirty dance with me? Most guys like a little bit of yuri anyway," I suggested taping my finger to my chin in thought, and that way I'd have Bixlow's attention even if just for a few moments before he got back to ogling every other women around. "Oh wait a minute why is Loki here?" I asked remembering that I'd seen him sat with Gray. But I was sure Lucy hadn't arrived yet unless I'd missed her?
"Juvia doesn't know, maybe he decided to join in the fun while Lucy-san is getting ready," Juvia replied taking the chance to change the topic.
"Hmm I think he's here to flirt...poor Aries we may have to point that out to Lucy when she arrives," I sighed at the spirits cheating antics. "Anyway you never answered my first question: dance with me or on your own? But remember how the guys fell over the confidence and sexiness Erza showed when we were on tenroujima in her nurse outfit...Maybe some girl on girl is what he likes too," I chuckled darkly as I saw Juvia's face change from reluctant to fired up at the memory of how Erza had become a romantic rival in that outfit.
"And Lisanna-san is sure that this would hold Gray-sama's attention better than Erza-san's nurse outfit?" Juvia asked with fire in her eyes.
"Most definitely," I smiled grabbing hold of Juvia's hand and heading to the dance floor before the girl changed her mind.
*Juvia's p.o.v*
I let Lisanna-san lead me towards the dance floor already starting to regret my choice, I had no clue how to be sexy or how to grab a males attention without stalking him. The only time I had been in a club was when I had dated Bora-san...that was it. I'd seen many women dancing and been flirty and sexual in that club all trying to gain the males attention, all I had to do was copy them and I should be okay. Closing my eyes and losing myself to the beat would work too, or from what I'd seen that worked. Then I remembered something else I'd seen that night that seemed to drive men crazy.
"Erm Lisanna-san," I called over the music and tugged on her hand and managed to stop her.
"What's wrong Juvia?" She called back to me over the incredibly loud music, the dragon slayers would need ear plugs to stand this.
"Juvia was wondering if Juvia could maybe kiss you at some point or make it look like she did," I explained feeling my face light up at the suggestion. This was way out of my comfort zone
"Juvia that is a wonderful idea...but lets just make it look like a kiss okay," Lisanna-san replies her eyes lighting up evilly.
"That would work for Juvia," I smiled back letting the girl finally drag me onto the dance floor, the music was so loud I could barely let myself think.
I spotted Gray-sama a couple of tables behind where we were now positioned and he was watching Cana-san with hawk like eyes, I did not like that one bit. I would not be outdone by that drunk hussy! This time I took the lead and swayed and shimmied with Lisanna-san till we were almost on top of Cana-san. Who when she saw us, gave a devilish smile before looking back at Gray-sama's table and licking her lips...did this woman know no shame she already had a boyfriend for pete's sake why did she have to go after MY Gray-sama too! Digging up all my courage and limited knowledge of what I needed to do, I put my hand on Lisanna-san's shoulder and pulled her in closer to me letting the music decide the rhythm my hips moved at, for her part Lisanna-san seemed to be getting into this and had moved her hand to the top of my hip and looked me dead in the eyes winking in a reassuring gesture. This whole teasing a man thing was pretty fun and maybe it wasn't so bad if I let my hair down once in awhile. I quickly darted my gaze towards Gray-sama's table to see if he'd taken notice and felt a jolt go up my spine when I saw that the entire table was watching us with jaws wide open and ogling eyes...score!
"Nee Lisanna-san?" I whispered shouted leaning my head right next to her ear. I doubted she would hear me otherwise.
"Hmm Juvia," She whispered yelled back.
"Juvia thinks it might be working," I giggled into my friends ear before pulling back, away from Lisanna-san to sway sexily on my own running my hands over my torso and hips for a moment, to let Lisanna get a quick peek at the boys. She grinned wolfishly at me as she noticed her own boyfriend walking over to us in a hurry...oh dear I guess I'd lost my partner.
"You've got moves girl," Cana whispered into my ear wrapping her arms around my mid rift in an intimate way that normally would have made me die of embarrassment. "Can I borrow them for a few, my man just walked in and I wanna drive him wild." She giggled into my ear. Why not it did seem to be driving the men crazy and I was all about helping my nakama out if it meant one less rival for Gray-sama's affection.
"Okay," I said turning in her arms to wrap my arms round her neck and returned to my earlier rhythm. I was surprised at how bold I was being, this wasn't like me and I definitely hadn't drunk anything...this side sort of myself scared me, but it was a necessary side needed in my long battle to make Gray-sama my own.
After a couple more minutes of our dancing Cana broke of to go solo again and let Bacchus enter the fray seeing as he really looked like a dog drooling over a bone. Who could blame him Cana was in every sense of the word beautiful. I decided that instead of continuing on my own I needed a drink and a slight rest, it was hot out here. A wonderful idea struck me as I made my way to the edge of the dance floor, I looked at Gray-sama's table and saw that his eyes were still glued to me and that made up my mind, plan sexy Juvia start.
"Is this seat taken?" I asked Gray-sama using my sexiest voice taking the seat next to him and angling myself so he could clearly see me cross one leg over the other and lean forward so he got a nice view of my cleavage, remind me to thank my ex love rival later for this trick later.
"Um...No," Gray-sama gulped taking in the view and liking it from what I could tell.
"I'm glad," I said forcing myself not to let my usual third person habit slip in here. I didn't think he realized who I was yet so I didn't want to give the game away. Suddenly out of nowhere a drink mades its way in front of me, it startled me for a moment before I looked up to see that it was Loki looking at me love struck.
"Thanks for the drink Loki but are you sure Aries would approve of this," I winked as the lion paled somewhat at the mention of his girlfriend, before turning my attention back to Gray-sama and taking a sip of my drink. This feeling of been sexy and in control was amazing I could really get used to it..maybe this is how my Edolas counterpart feels even though I didn't know much about her. Only what Lucy-san and Natsu-san had told me.
"Are...you a member here?" Gray-sama asked taking a gulp of his own drink. Okay now I think it was safe to be myself again.
"Don't you recognize Juvia, Gray?" I pouted batting my eyelashes at him in an attempt to mimic Lucy again, this sex appeal thing could sure be useful no wonder she used it all the time.
"Ju...JUVIA?!" Gray yelled pointing at me before toppling backwards off his chair in shock making myself and Laxus-san burst out laughing. I leaned forward and offered my hand to the man I loved, who accepted. As I pulled him up I made sure to place my mouth by his ear for good measure.
"Like what you see," I whispered teasingly into his ear watching him shiver at my words.
"Y...yes," was his reply and that was all I needed before standing up from my chair, dropping his hand, grabbing my drink and leaving coping how Cana had left us earlier...swaying my hips like a sex kitten and having the delicious feeling of Gray-sama's eyes watching me leave!
