Chapter 10~ The 'Goodbye' Ball ll

Wendy and Romeo walked on to the dance floor. Romeo placed his hands on Wendy's waist, and Wendy wrapped her arms around his neck. Wendy had a blush on her face and stared down at her feet. Romeo brought her head up, so they that they gazed into each others' eyes. "Keep your eyes locked on mine. I'll guide."

Wendy nodded her head. The music started, and couples begin to fill the dance floor. They begin to dance to the music, keeping eye contact the entire time. Wendy soon placed her head on Romeo's shoulder, and whispered a loving "Thank you…" They moved as one, as if they had practiced time after time.

They continued to dance, as more and more couples left the dance floor. Soon they were the only ones on the dance floor. They could here the 'Aw's' coming from the crowd. The song came to a stop, they began to draw stares. Romeo led Wendy out onto the balcony. They sat down on the bench outside. Romeo grabbed her hand while it was n the bench. She turned her head over to Romeo and looked lovingly at him. He leaned in and kissed her, and she kissed back. They pulled away. Romeo grabbed both her hands, "Wendy, I…"

Wendy cut him off with a kiss on the cheek. "Me too."

Romeo gave her a peck on her forehead and they looked into the night sky, as happy as they had ever been. When suddenly fireworks went off in the distance.

Mira and Laxus were out, in the gardens. There were others around, some families, singles, and other couples. Laxus grabbed on to her waist and picked her up and spun her in a circle. "Fresh air is so nice!" Mira exclaimed.

They ventured in to apart of the royal gardens where guests were not allowed to go. Mira wandered over to a bunch of lilies that were in the center of the garden. Laxus wandered over to some roses, and picked one. "For you, my lady." He handed a rose to Mira.

Mira placed the rose behind her ear and giggled, "Never thought I would see the romantic side of you. I like love it."

He pulled her close and they locked there eyes together. "I'm glad you do, because I love being romantic with you."

"I never would have thought you liked me in the slightest. I…um… never would have guessed. Growing up you got colder and colder towards me." Mira looked towards the ground and the flower began to fall out of her hair.

Laxus pushed the flower in to her hair an brung her head up. "I had to keep myself from you. I didn't want to commit to you before I know I could be faithful and not always out of town on missions to get stronger to take the guild down. I'm over all of that now. Now I just want you. To love you, and hold you, and just be with you."

Tears right began to fall from Mira's eyes. She smiled and leaned in to kiss Laxus. Right before they kissed, he asked, "Do you want to be my girlfriend?"

"You tell me…" Mira kissed him and he kissed back just as loving.

"I'll take that as a yes." They continued to kiss, as the fireworks started.

Sting and Yukino went over to the table to get some punch. A little boy was playing tag and bumped in to Yukino and spilled punch all over Yukino's dress. "I need to change."

"Yeah, I…um… here." Sting took his coat of and gave it to Yukino. "Let's get you to your room."

Sting and Yukino walked to her room. They went into the room and Sting sat down on her bed. Yukino walked in to the closet and chose a new dress. She walked out. Her dress was whit with long sleeves with shoulder cut outs. It had a lace belt and had net over the bottom." Yukino walked over to Sting. "Could you…uh… zip me up?"

Sting got up and walked over to Yukino. "Of course."

Yukino pulled her hair out of the way. Sting grabbed the zipper an began to pull it up. Around halfway through, it got stuck. "It's stuck."

"Pull it down and try again." And so he did. Still didn't work. Sting traced his fingers on her back. "You are beautiful. I just need you in my life. Yukino, will you be mine?"

"Who said I wasn't? I am. I love you." He wrapped his arms around him.

"I love you too." He placed a kiss on her back. Yukino turned to look Sting. They looked at each other as if no one else was alive, like no one else mattered to either of them.

They kissed. Sting placed his hands on her back and pulled her zipper up. "I got it." Just as they separated, fireworks went of in the distance.

Erza and Jellal watched as Wendy and Romeo danced in each others' arms. Erza walked of in to the hall and looked out the window in to the night sky. Jellal noticed that Erza was leaving and looked around and saw her leaving. Jellal ran after her. He stood next to her and looked out the window with her. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." She took a deep breath.

Jellal turned to look at Erza. "You're not. I know you. You have tears streaming down your face."

She turned to Jellal. "She grew up. Wendy is all grown up now. She doesn't need me anymore. She was a child when we welcomed her to the guild. Look at her. she found…love with Ro…Romeo… and…" She broke into tears.

Jellal grabbed Erza and held her. "Shh. I's okay. Just because she grown up, doesn't mean she doesn't need you. There are so many things she hasn't gone through. So many things she needs to experience. You'll be there, to help her through all of it."

She continued to cry in to Jellal's shirt. The music came to a stop. Erza looked up towards the party. She looked towards Jellal, who was also staring at the door. She whispered a quiet "Thank you."

She leaned in to give Jellal a kiss on his cheek. Jellal looked towards Erza and they ended up kissing. They pulled away blushing. They looked at each other once more and both leaned in and kissed. Suddenly, a loud bang from the fireworks pulled them apart. "I love you. Erza placed her head on his shoulder. "I love you, too."

Back at the guild…

"Ughhhhh!" Lisanna yelled.

"Lis, you okay?" Kinnana picked up some glasses off the bar table.

"NO! Mira got to go to the ball. She asked Mira, and You. She even asked Cana, of all people." Lisanna was pissed.

"Hey. I am a better Lady than you." She was drunk.

"Sure. Why not me! Natsu is there. He probably looks so handsome, and he is with Lucy!" She clenched her fist in rage.

"You don't know he is with Lucy." Kinnana handed Macao a drink.

Lisanna rolled her eyes. "Oh, please. He clearly has feeling for her. Why can't Natsu love me?. She clearly did something to him."

"Lisanna you are jealous. That is so obvious." Wakaba walked up to the bar.

"Sure I am. And you're just sober 20-year-old man." Lisanna rolled her eyes.

"He isn't lying, Lisanna. You are. You need to except he doesn't like you. It's been over a year, and he has-"Lisanna slapped Kinnana across the face, pushed her down, and then stromed out of the guild.

Cana rushed over, and fell over. "God damn you Wakaba! Why do you always pass out drunk!" She got back up and got to Kinnana."You okay?"

"I'm fine." Kinanna got up off the floor. "She has been acting strange these last couple of months."

"Yeah, she got more violent, started to yell and dresses more protactive." Cana got Kinnana a bag of ice.

"You are in a bra." Cana handed her the ice.

"So? I've always been like this. It was after that job she took to that place on the outskirts of Fiore. You know what mean, right? That area that no one goes near Crocus." Cana sat down on a bar stool.

"Yeah…"Kinnana got back to work

Elsewhere…

"Now would be a good time to start the plan." A mysterious person spoke on the phone.

"Of course, Lady Sparrow. I'll let the master know."A voice responed back.

"Good." The mysterious person hung up the phone. "Soon everything will fall in to place."
