Im back with a new chapter so enjoy!

No One's P.O.V.

Once Lucy and Natsu came back from their mini mission, the guild seemed to brighten up a bit since they were there to be entertaining, but everyone was still low on money and the guild was still a dumpy mess.

"So was the mission a success?" Levy asked Lucy as she watched Lucy drink a strawberry smoothie. Lucy took her mouth off the straw and her posture weakened.

"Yes and no. We managed to catch the animal rampaging through the village, but of course me and natsu managed to go a little overboard. They took our reward for repairs and practically kicked us out, even though we got rid if of the beast! How rude." She pouted and looked away from Levy. Levy giggled and pat lucy on the back.

"Don't worry, lu, you'll get that reward one day." Levys words didn't give Lucy any justice. That's when she got up and checked the board for another mission and one seems to have caught her eye. The mission stated that they were supposed to chaperone a ball and make sure a thief named Velveno wouldn't come buy to steal a priceless ring. Seemed pretty easy and it paid well. She ripped it off the board and ran outside to find natsu.

"Hey natsu, I found a good job for me, you, and happy. Of course Gray, Erza, and Wendy can come too." Lucy shoved the paper in his face and he read it. He held up a thumbs up and nodded.

"Seems like a good job to me. So, when should we go?" Lucy skimmed over the paper one more time before her hands curled into a ball, crumbling the sides of the paper.

"Probably never."

"Huh?"

"It says we should learn how to dance just in case we need to blend in for some reason." Natsu looked confused.

"So what's the problem?" Lucy grit her teeth at the density of the fire Dragon Slayer.

"You dunce, if you can't dance, you shouldn't get the job. The last time I checked, both you and I cant dance." She momentarily thought back to the night fairy tail had a small dance competition out of boredom. Lucy and Natsu came in dead last, even pantherlilly danced better than them.

"Oh." Was all natsu said. He gazed at the irritated fire that gleamed in her eyes before her facial features brightened.

"Levy! She came in second behind Erza. She could teach us the bare minimum." They got levy to come outside and help teach them basic dance moves to get by.

"Okay, we'll do a simple waltz, alright? Natsu take one of Lucy's hands" natsu hesitantly grabbed Lucy's hand in his. Her hand was small and delicate compared to his giant scarred and caliced hands. "Okay, now lucy, put your hand on his shoulder." Lucy used the hand already used by natsu to try and put it on his shoulder, which awkwardly tilted his hand backwards.

"Ouch, Lucy you're breaking my hand!" Lucy dropped both hands and apologized. Levy face palmed.

"Lucy, you're other hand..." She looked up from her face palm to see an embarrassed Lucy. Lucy's face heat up as they started to attract a crowed.

"W-well, how the hell was I supposed to know? You didn't say specifically what hand."

"It was a little self explanatory!" Levy yelled. She took a deep breath after realizing she raised her voice. "Just use your other hand." Lucy put her other hand on natsu's shoulder and waiting for further instructions.

"Now natsu, put your other hand on Lucy's upper back." Natsu did so without speaking. He was kinda in internal turmoil. He and Lucy hadn't been in this kind of situation yet so this contact was so different. He did manage to keep a straight face through most of it.

"Now that that's over, Lucy and Natsu, just step from side to side and sway a little bit. It's not that hard. You could also turn as you step to." They did as they were told, but it wasn't a smooth as levy describes it.

"Ow, my feet!"

"Don't kick me, I didn't mean to."

"Well, stop stepping in my-"

"Ouch!"

"Whoops, sorry. Payback's a bitch though."

"You guys-" levy tried to intervene as their argument worsened. Lucy then stopped and dropped both of their hands and moved away from natsu.

"You're impossible! I can't have you as a dance partner, you keep stepping on my feet." Lucy crossed her arms. Natsu's anger flared up and started to fight back.

"Well, maybe if you weren't so fucking uncoordinated, I wouldn't be stepping on your feet!" Lucy opened her originally closed eyes and sharply turned to face him, her glare anything but angelic.

"Don't fucking cuss at me like that! Maybe If your feet weren't so big I would have been coordinated."

"Look who's talking!"

"Guys!" Levy screamed at the top of her lungs. Both Dragon Slayers stopped their argument to look at levy. She was panting to having scream that loud. She stomped up to them and proceeded to chew them out.

"You two act worse than a married couple! Both of you suck at dancing so there's that. I'm here to teach you to dance before tommorow night, so buck the fuck up and dance!" Levy was heaving and glaring.

"Levy, did you just-"

"Seems like squrt isn't as innocent as I first thought." Gajeel chimed in. He pat Levy's head and sat in the bleachers with happy and Romeo and the rest of the guild. They were all schocked with levy's behavior that they kept quiet.

"Hmph, now get back in position you two, we have a lot of training to do." Natsu and Lucy grumbled but grabbed each other's hand, eventually forgetting their petty quarrel. It was around a half an hour before the others got bored. Mocao went up to Cana and held up his hand.

"May I have this dance?" Cana set her beer barrel down and grabbed his hand.

"Only if you can handle it." Wakaba said something about it not being fair which made Macao laugh in victory. After that, everyone was finding dance partners. Juvia was about to ask gray to dance before Erza beat her to the punch.

"We shall dance, gray." She didn't wait for a reply and grabbed his hand out of his pocket and started violently spinning him. After he was dizzy enough, she started to aggressively dance with him, making him nauseous. Erza felt a glare from the back of her neck, but brushed it off, as she was having too much fun. In the far corner, Mira managed to find laxus pushing away freed's face.

"No I won't dance with you."

"But laxus-"

"Hey laxus, wanna dance?" Mira asked. Laxus rolled his eyes, but grabbed her hand to dance, leaving freed sobbing as bixlow pat his back.

"Don't worry buddy" Bixlow's babies mimicking him. Further away, jet and drop were attempting to ask levy to dance.

"Just so you know, I don't want to dance." Gajeel turned away. Levy seems offended by that statement."

"Well, who would want to dance with a brick wall like you?" They both faced away, backs turned to each other.

"Hey, levy do you want to dance?" Both jet and drop asked. They looked shocked and turned to each other and started to pick a fight.

"Why would she dance with you, you'd probably eat her." Jet started.

"You're too ugly to dance with." Drop countered.

"Well, if you insist." Gajeel had said after grabbing Levy's hands and swaying them back and fourth. Jet and droys jaws dropped.

"What are you talking about? I never asked." Levy looked away.

"So weird..." Romeo said as he, Wendy, and happy stood off to the side.

"Yeah." Happy munched on a fish.

...

They had Elfman and Warren join the mission for back up since warren could use telepathy to help communicate to one another if any found Velveno. They shortly met with the women getting engaged and her father and they talked about the mission requirments, pay, a few other simple things.

"Come on Lucy and Wendy, let's get ready for the dinner we were invited to by the king." They stepped on a round platform that acted like a elevator and took them up to a changing room. The ride made lucy sick to her stomach, but she held In her breakfast. They stepped I the changing room together and began to change into nicer outfits.

"I still don't know why I have to bring this dress. It's honestly not as cute as my others and it shows a lot of skin." Lucy whined, pulling us the top of the dress to cover her assets more. Erza put her hands in her hips and looked in the mirror before answering.

"That dress is plain so you don't stand out and it happened to just show a lot of skin. You don't have a lot if dresses that are plain except this one." The dress was the maroon one which had a giant slit on each side of the dress so it showed the side of her legs. The back was completely bare and the only thing holding up the dress was a flimsy peace of fabric that wrapped around her neck.

Lucy sighed and took her time in the mirror, admiring that she did look good in the dress. "Still, it's just so inconvenient. I really need to go shopping but alas, natsu and I didn't get any money from our last mission." All three girls stepped out if the changing area and got on the round platform to join the boys at the table. They all chowed down on the food which made Lucy jealous.

"How dare you guys eat without me." Lucy sat down and grabbed the biggest piece of food she could find and stuffed it in her mouth, which surprised the princess and king as well the the boys. Except natsu.

"So manly." Erza slammed her silverware on the table and glared at lucy. She had her cheeks full of food, which made her look like a chipmunk.

"What?" She asked as she swallowed hard so her food could fit down her throat.

"Don't be so vulgar in front of clients, it's anything but manly." Elfman shivered and kept his eyes his food. Wendy smiled at the princess and the king as an apology. The understood and everyone went back to eating. It was around an hour later when people started to come. Warren, happy, and Carla went behind the building with a lacrima ball as a security camera, watching for Velveno which proved to be hard since he had the power to make himself like literally anyone.

"Hey natsu, everything fine so far?" Happy touched Warren's arm to communicate to natsu. Meanwhile natsu was in the corner if the ball, looking suspicious at anyone.

"So far..." He trailed off, happy heard Lucy's voice on the other end scold natsu.

"Don't just openly glared at people. It'll attract unwanted attention." She walked away and then she was suddenly pulled away by a random guy, getting pulled into a dance. Natsu watched as it happened and was absolutely livid. You could see the heat radiating off of him. The thought of Lucy dancing with anyone but him had him in a jealous frenzy.

"It's getting hot in here, huh?" A girl said to another. The other girl pulled on her collar and nodded.

"It seems to get worse by the minute."

To be continued...

That's all for now
