WARNING: THIS CHAPTER WILL BE SHORT. I APOLOGIZE READER-(CHAN/SAN/KUN).

Disclaimers: I don't own Fairy Tail or Hiro Mashima.

Claimers: I won Maemi. cx And the wedding. And Red.

Maemi laughed. Gray was explaining what happened between him and Natsu while she was gone. Surprisingly, she had finished the ice-cream quickly, letting her hold her stomach and laugh like a maniac. A few customers stared at her, but mostly focused on the ice-cream. "Wow, you guys seriously fought during that?"

"Yeah!" Gray laughed. "But what all of us found really cute and confusing was this: Erza said "Kyaa!" once!" Maemi stared at him, as if he was lying. "What, I'm not lying! You can even ask Happy, Natsu, and Lucy!" Maemi smiled at him.

"I'll be sure to ask them as well then!" Maemi's laughter died down slowly. It ended up as a breathe only minutes later.

"So, who do you think will go with you to Evergreen and Elfman's wedding…?" Gray asked her, acting as if distant.

"I don't know. Whoever I know, and whoever asks me!" She chimed. Gray blushed slightly. He looked away quickly before she could see his blush. "Eh, something wrong Gray?" He couldn't see it, but he could tell she was staring at him worriedly. "Gray?" She repeated.

"Listen, we've known each other for… a really long time right?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Well, I was wondering if-!" Gray was interrupted by someone bursting through the door.

"Mae-Chan!" The someone squeaked.

"Levy-Chan?" Maemi stared at the small blue-haired girl, watching her as she blushed hard. "What's wrong, Levy?"

"G-G-Gajeel…" Maemi looked at her, confused.

"Who's Gajeel…?"

"He's an Iron Dragon Slayer… His exceed is Pantherlily, the black one," Gray summarized. "It just so happens Levy has a crush on him somehow…" Gray added lowly.

"Ah, I see. So, what's the problem, Levy?" Maemi hugged her friend.

"T-there's no problem… It's just…" Maemi stared at Levy. "Gajeel asked me to go with him to Evergreen and Elfman's wedding!" She said quickly, blushing a little harder. Maemi gasped in relief.

"Congratulations then, Levy!" Maemi squealed. "Wear something REALLY pretty, okay?"

"T-that's kind of why I'm here… I-I need help picking out a dress…" Levy looked at the ground.

"Oh, okay! I'll gladly help!" Maemi turned to Gray. "Sorry Gray, but can you tell me later after I help out Levy?"

"Sorry about this Gray, I understand if you wanted to tell something private to Mae-Chan-." Gray cut Levy off.

"Nah, it's fine. You two go have your shopping spree, and I'll go back to the guild after I finish this ice-cream up…" Gray said, sounding relieved. The girls smiled at each other.

"Thanks Gray!" Maemi smiled.

"No problem…" He sighed. He watched the two girls run out of the ice-cream shop, giggling. Gray slumped back a little. He should've said something earlier… He was too caught up into the conversation with Maemi, that he almost forgot about asking her to the wedding. Who knows how long those two might be in the dress store?

"You really let your girlfriend have a lot of freedom, huh?" A boy asked him from behind. Gray glanced back, blushing.

"She isn't my girlfriend…" Gray replied lowly. He blushed a bit more. "Though, it'd be nice for her to be my girlfriend…" He sighed.

"Good luck with that, she's pretty cute. I'd imagine loads of boys knocking down at her door before the wedding or something like that," The boy replied, smirking. Gray glared intensely at the boy. He quickly finished up the ice-cream and smacked him. Surprisingly enough, a fight started.

Meanwhile, with Levy and Maemi… They walked around the vast clothing store. Hats, blouses, skirts, belts, boots… So many clothes! The girls stared at it in awe. They looked at each other, then the large store. They slowly entered it, admiring it's greatness. A short, stubby man in his middle ages popped up in front of them.

"Hello ladies!" He cooed. "Welcome to my store! We have all of the latest fashions, especially in the undergarment section!" Maemi leaned over towards Levy.

"This guy is a complete perv, do we need to go shopping here?" Maemi asked, annoyed with the perverted older man.

"Sorry, Mae-Chan, but this is the only store with really cute dresses," The bluenette apologized quietly. She raised her voice a little. "We're not interested in the undergarment section…" Levy replied to the older man. "Just the dress section…"

"Ah! That is near the undergarment section!"

"I thought it was near the shoe section…" The older man froze in realization, as if acting as if he had forgotten.

"O-of course! Allow me to show you the way-!" He was interrupted, and hit in the head by Maemi.

"I'm sure we can find our way ourselves, right Levy?" Maemi turned to the other girl, who nodded in response. "See? Now, let's go Levy-Chan." Maemi grabbed Levy's hand and marched past the now knocked out manager. "Jeez, next time, let's kill him, okay?"

"B-but Mae-Chan!"

"I was joking about that Levy…" They continued to walk down the huge halls and walkways. Multiple, huge sections were passed until they finally reached the huge shoe department, next to the giant dress section. "Holy cheese balls, this is AMAZING!" Maemi yelled. They giggled as multiple customers kept staring at the loud girl. They kept their eyes on her as she ran into the dress department, with the small Levy trialing behind. They stared at the wide variety of dresses.

They searched the house-sized department for almost an entire hour without saying a word to each other. They met up in the middle of it. "Did you find any dresses you like, Mae-Chan?" Levy asked her, carrying a few dresses. Maemi nodded as she continued to search for a few more that were her size, as all of her old clothes don't fit her anymore. "Has anyone asked you to go with them to the wedding…?" Levy asked her softly. Maemi sighed.

"Nah, not yet. I must not be cute enough, like you Levy." Levy blushed and froze at the comment.

"A-ah! You are cuter than me, Mae-Chan! It must just be the boys are too shy to ask you!" Levy declared, keeping her blush. Maemi sighed again, picking a dress off of the rack.

"Nah, you're cuter Levy. The small size adds an extra effect," Maemi paused, and then quickly added: "No offense to you of course!" Levy smiled.

"None taken." An explosion went of in the distance, but was clearly in the mall-like store.

"What the hell was that?!" Maemi asked wildly. She gazed towards the entrance. Black smoke flew up, with many multitudes of screams. "…Fuck," She sweared.

OwO Maemi sweared? That's actually expected. ^u^ So far, NatsuXMaemi is winning. Cx I dunno about the rest.

QUESTION TIME:

1. Who do you think the boy was?

2. Is it okay since this seems very short? O v O

3. How did you react to Gajeel asking Levy to the wedding?

4. Did you like the pervy old guy I made?

5. What do you think happened to the mall in the end?

Sorry this is so short, I didn't have much inspiration for this chapter. ^^; But anywho, mind start voting on the poll? I plan on choosing who ends up with Maemi soon…

Also, I decided I'll also do confessions at the end of the chapters so…

CONFESSION 1:

When I posted the first chapter of this, I had no idea on what the story and plot would be.

CONFESSION 2:

This was going to originally going to be OCXNatsu or OCXSting. Lol. Funny confession.

CONFESSION 3:
