Oooh, the wedding is finally here! :D Now I need to figure out what'll happen at the after party… Well, poop. Lol, I'm writing this at night time… (AKA 1 in the morning) so, enjoy my laziness~

Disclaimers: I do not own Fairy Tail or Hiro Mashima

Claimers: I own Maemi and MaemiXNatsu, Lol

"Are you ready Evergreen?" Mirajane asked the light brunette curiously, as she worked her way around the large, white wedding dress. It looked simply dazzling. "You look wonderful!" Mirajane giggled. Evergreen held a light blush.

"I guess I'm ready… And… Thanks," Evergreen replied and thanked Mirajane. Evergreen turned to the few girls that were invited inside. Lisanna, Lucy, Levy, Bisca, Asuka, Erza, Wendy, and even Maemi were the only ones that were allowed inside. Well, Mirajane included, as she was the maid of honor. "I guess I should thank all of you… And pleasure finally meeting you Maemi."

"Your welcome!" The girls said in unison.

"Pleasure finally meeting you as well, Evergreen! Congrats!" Maemi said soon after. Evergreen smiled at her.

"Thank you… again."

"Your welcome, again!" Evergreen stepped down from the small, circular stage and began to talk to both Mirajane and Bisca. Wendy entertained little Asuka while her mother was talking to the bride. Maemi, Lisanna, Lucy, Levy, and Erza all gathered in a small circle. They examined their friends' dresses.

"Wow, you look amazing in that Levy!" Lucy gasped in delight.

"T-thanks!" Levy had been wearing the dress she chose out days ago. The simple, skinny-strapped dress. It was dark grey, and shined a bit. "It's one of the dresses Mae-Chan and I got from the store a week ago!"

"Ah, I see." Lucy looked over to Maemi. "I'm guessing you got that at the store as well? It looks way more expensive than a regular, casual dress."

"Uh…" Maemi started off with a blush. "This is Levy's actually… But it doesn't fit her apparently, so she lent me it…"

"And you may keep it Mae-Chan, you look just as amazing as Evergreen does!" Levy told Maemi with an excited squeal. The dress had no straps, it was knee-high, layered with many shades of velvet, red, and gold, almost like a sunset. It was more velvet at the bottom of the dress, more red in the middle, near the waist, and finished in a bright golden color at the top. It also had a shiny silver ribbon, and was looser at the back. It only showed half of the back. She wore black dress shoes, and had her hair in a simple, high bun with a red rose in the center of the bun. She was obviously wearing the necklace that Fairy Tail gave her, and the friendship ring Natsu gave her.

"But Levy-!" Maemi began to protest, but Lisanna interrupted her.

"Keep it, Mae! We all know you want to!" The short-silver haired girl chimed.

"Fine…"

"Yay!" The girls squealed. Naturally, Erza didn't. Her dress was literally armor… It was part of 'The Knight', just the belly wasn't showing, and there were no wings. She looked amazing in it. Lucy wore a white, long dress, that had a blue stripe both horizontally and vertically near her breasts. Her shoes were most likely brown. Lisanna wore a similar dress to Mirajane's main dress she usually wears in the guild. Little Asuka wore a cowgirl-related dress, Mirajane had a dress that looked like Demon-related colors… and it was short as heck.

Bisca wore her usual black dress, it was just a little longer, a bit past the knees. "Well, I guess we should head out…" Erza stated bluntly.

"Why?" Maemi asked curiously.

"Well, I figure that some of your dates are out there…" A small, evilish grin crawled against Erza's face.

"Oh shit…" Maemi gulped as Erza walked her outside of the dressing room, the other girls following quickly after. Most of them didn't know who Maemi was asked out by anyways. Obviously, they wanted to also make sure the boy was safe… After all, Erza is really quick when angered. When they got to the main hall of the church, Levy ran over to Gajeel quickly. Lucy and Lisanna remained behind Erza and Maemi.

Gray saw the problem Maemi was in, and had to distract her somehow. He looked over at Cana, who had lost her dress and was drinking heavily before the wedding. He snuck over to Cana. "Hey Cana?"

"I am not going with ya Gray…."

"I know that! But I need you to distract Erza so Natsu can stop hiding behind me to get to Maemi…"

"Maemi was asked out by Natsu-?"

"Keep it down, geez!" Natsu whispered viciously from behind Gray's back. "It's hard enough being a Ninja behind Stripper here…"

"Worse ninja ever…" Gray muttered. "Anyways, can you help us?" Cana looked at Gray, and probably tried to imagine Natsu the best she could at the moment, and nodded.

"Yeah, yeah… Buy me some whiskey later…"

"Why?" Gray asked.

"'Cause I might need it after being lectured by Erza."

"Fine… Wait, why do I need to buy it?!"

"Because Natsu's not alone." Natsu grinned widely behind Gray.

"Heh, I win Fullbuster."

"Shut up…"

The plan was to get Erza over to Cana without seeing Natsu. Well, that part of not seeing Natsu was Natsu's idea. The plan began. "Hey Erza!" Gray called out. "Cana's drinking! And she has no formalwear for the wedding!" Erza immediately got ticked and stormed over to the area of which Gray was pointing at. She had left Maemi behind, letting Natsu run his ass off to her, tackling her to the ground, and ending up on top of her. The two of them blushed and they both quickly got back to their feet.

"Heh, sorry about that Mae…" Natsu apologized while blushing.

"I-It's fine Natsu…" Maemi accepted his apology, also blushing as well. Lisanna and Lucy froze in realization as they quickly figured out Natsu was the one who had asked her to the wedding. They remained frozen white, just as white as Lisanna's hair. "Let's sit down quickly before comes back to smash you into a pulp…" She laughed nervously, grabbing Natsu's hand. They sat in the second row, closest to the wall. They both shrunk down below the seats when Erza returned, Cana in her grasp.

"Eh, Maemi where are you?!" Erza asked frantically when Maemi's bleach blonde hair couldn't be seen. She spotted Lisanna and Lucy frozen, and nudged both of them in the shoulder, unfreezing them. "Where did Maemi go?" The two of them looked at each other, and then shrugged, deciding to spare the two their lives. "Hm, I'll figure it out after the wedding." Erza sat 3 rows behind them. Maemi and Natsu sighed quietly in relief, but remained hidden, aware of the fact almost no one else was sitting behind them.

"This is kind of like Hide-N-Seek in a way…" Maemi said with a soft giggle. Natsu looked at her confused. "Remember? When we were younger, we sometimes played Hide-N-Seek in the guild, and Erza was always It, because she had the easiest hiding spots?" Natsu perked up a little more as he remembered.

"Oh yeah, I remember that! Erza never found us. One time, I think, we got the same spot… She had to send out a rescue party I think…" Natsu snickered quietly.

~FLASHBACK~

Maemi ran to a box on the lower floor, and opened it and jumped into it. Right as she closed it, it popped open and Natsu jumped into it as well. "Natsu!" She squeaked out quietly.

"I had this spot first Mae!" He complained quietly. Maemi face palmed.

"Natsu, I had this spot a few seconds before you did!" Maemi argued.

"Nu-uh!"

"Yea-huh!"

"Nooo…"

"Yeaah…"

"Nope!"

"Yep!"

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"No.'

"Yes-! WAIT WHAT?!" Maemi laughed as Natsu accidentally said yes. "You tricked me." He frowned.

"Can you please go find a different spot-!"

"99, 100! Ready or Not, HERE ERZA COMES!" Erza announced loudly as the two hid in the box nearby.

"Never mind…" Maemi whispered to Natsu. "You can stay I guess…" There wasn't much space in the box, so they didn't sit shoulder to shoulder, but cheek to cheek. Maemi puffed hers up as she was annoyed on how Erza couldn't find them. "How many times have we played this game today?"

"Like 8 times… This is the 9th," Natsu replied.

"Well, I think we're gonna remember this one…"

"Why?"

"Erza just sent out a rescue party to search for us." Natsu began to laugh.

"Should we get outta the box?"

"Nah…" Maemi yawned widely. "I'm too sleepy…" She began to doze off. "You can if you want…" She fell asleep. Just how tired is this girl? Natsu considered getting out of the box, but stayed in it. He didn't want her to feel lonely if he left. He too eventually fell asleep.

Later, around 4 hours later, Master Makarov opened the box, finding the two youngsters sleeping cheek to cheek. He smiled softly at the two, and managed to get both of them out of the box. He had Gildarts bring them both home. He dropped Maemi off first, and finished the night by dropping Natsu off at his place. Gildarts ended up crashing right outside of Natsu's house.

END OF FLASHBACK

Natsu and Maemi laughed quietly. "I remember kicking Gildarts that morning so hard, he never forgot what kind of power I have!" Natsu bragged out quietly. Maemi bonked him in the head gently.

"No bragging, Dragneel," She giggled. She felt someone poke her head gently.

"Mae-Chan… It's beginning…" Levy whispered. Maemi looked up and saw Erza nowhere in sight.

"Oh… It's safe Natsu. And it's beginning."

"WHAT?!" He shot up, pulling Maemi up as well. He looked eager to watch it.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen. Today, we are here for the gathering of-!" The priest was interrupted by the master.

"WAIT!" Master Makarov screamed out. The entire guild turned to him in great confusion.

Cliffhanger. LOL. O3O Holy poop, I don't think I'm gonna write much on this end of it… YOU THINK OF THE QUESTIONS YOURSELF IM TOO TIRED.
