A/N: Hey guys sorry for taking so long I've been busy and my editor has been even busier so I had to go and post without her review, so sorry for any mistakes and such. I tried to make it longer but I also wanted to post a new chap as soon as possible. I will try to update more often :) As always reviews appreciated!

"Alright looks like we're done here!" Erza announced triumphantly. They had just finished compiling the results which they turned into statistics.

"Yeah everything looks good to me." Kagura felt a little disappointed. She didn't have many other excuses to see Erza other than Stats class. Maybe she could invite Erza to go see a movie with her, or is that too obvious?

"You know… there's this Halloween party this weekend- I don't know if it's usually your thing but the football team is going, it should be fun."

Kagura was ecstatic about the invitation for one second until she remembered. "Uh well...I already have plans with a friend."

"Oh okay that's cool. What are your plans?"

"Well usually my friend who is also my roommate, Millianna and I watch a scary movie. Sometimes Beth or Risley- they're girls from the field hockey team- will come too if they don't have other plans."

"That sounds like fun. The invitation still stands though, if you want to bring your friend Millianna or anyone else. It's a big party so basically the more the merrier."

"I'll see what Millianna thinks, thanks for inviting me though Erza."

Erza responded with a smile. "Yeah, no problem. Just text me if you decide to stop by. I'll see you in class!"

Kagura watched for a second as Erza walked off towards the football field, red hair swaying as she walked.

Kagura walked into her dorm room and saw Millianna on her bed painting her nails. She looked up when Kagura walked in.

"Hey Kagura what's up."

"Nothing really, you?"

"I broke a nail, it was pretty tragic!"

"Yeah I'll bet." Kagura replied sarcastically Hey so...I got invited to this Halloween party, and the invitations pretty much open for anyone. If you're interested we can go. I know we usually sit in and watch movies. Which ever you want to do." Kagura didn't want to switch plans or make her friend go somewhere she didn't want to go, but she also wanted to go because Erza would be there.

Millianna's eyes got really big and then a smirk spread across her face, "What is this? Who are you and what have you done with Kagura Mikazuchi?"

"Well, you know I just got an invitation from someone-"

"Does this someone have a nice ass?"

It's not necessarily that Kagura didn't want to share, she was just nervous about saying something that would get Millianna all worked up. Kagura didn't have crushes often but when she did Millianna got really into it.

"Arguably the best ass at the school."

Millianna let out a gasp that could almost be considered a shriek. Here we go, thought Kagura.

"Who's the lucky lady? You haven't talked about anyone since we got to college."

"W-well you see here's the thing… I don't know if she even likes girls." Millianna's face fell from mischievous excitement to concern.

"Oh well… just be careful ya know? I'd hate to see you get emotionally invested and get hurt when she isn't gay."

"Well it's not just lesbians that like girls…"

"Yeah, as a bisexual I know that. But maybe I can get some intel! Who is it?"

"Well it's- her name's Erza."

"Erza? Like Erza from the football team?"

"Yes."

"Yeah she's hot! I don't know though I think I remember her having a boyfriend at some point... but that doesn't mean anything."

"That's for sure." Kagura herself had some boyfriends early in high school, before she realized why they never worked out, "But even if she doesn't feel the same way, friends are always nice to have."

"For sure. So I think we should go! And we'll scope her out and see how it goes."

"Alright, but I don't have a costume."

"You know what I might have one for you." Millianna went over to her closet and dug around for a couple seconds and she came back out holding the costume.

"Oh no."

"I can't believe you made me wear this."

"You look great!"

"I'm cold."

Millianna apparently only had 2 costume choices. Millianna was wearing black cat ears, painted on whiskers, and a black crop top with a black skirt. Kagura however was left with a pink bedazzled bikini top and a skirt with a green fish-scale pattern. The skirt was knee length with frills to give the effect of a mermaid's tail. Millianna had done her makeup and used green and blue eyeshadows.

"Well you look hot. Maybe Erza will think so too."

Kagura had texted Erza and gotten the address to the party, a town-house apartment just off campus that was rented by the Dean's daughter who apparently has quite the party animal.

Kagura was nervous as they walked up to the front of the house. Millianna knocked on the door and it was answered by a scantily clad brunette who clearly already had quite a bit to drink.

"There's a 5 buck cover charge for alcohol doll."

"Oh well uh." Kagura was embarrassed by her lack of knowledge on college life. She dug around in her purse but came up empty, and Millianna hadn't even bothered to bring a purse.

"It's okay Cana, I got them." Erza appeared as a pirate wearing knee high boots a brown skirt, a red corset and a white flowy top. On her head she had a tricorn hat with a red feather sticking out.

"By the way Cana, what exactly are you supposed to be?" Erza asked.

"Drunk." The girl she now knew as Cana replied. She shoved a solo cup of beer in Kagura's hands and one in Millianna's.

"Guys this is my roommate, Cana. Cana this is my friend Kagura and her friend…"

"Oh yeah Erza this is my best friend Millianna. Millie this is Erza."

"Very nice to meet you."

"Oh! You guys totally match. Like, a pirate and her mermaid ya know?" Kagura could feel her face slowly getting warmer as she gave Millianna a look that could have burned a hole in the side of her head, but Millianna wasn't looking.

"Ohh there's Juvia looking very hot and very alone. Better time than any to make a move! I'll see you guys around." Millianna walked away with the most mischievous look on her face. Kagura knew what she was doing and couldn't have made it more obvious. Luckily Erza seemed oblivious.

"You know I don't think I've ever asked, what is your major?" Kagura felt so stupid for asking the most typical question of all time, but she wasn't the best at small talk.

"I'm a Criminal Justice Major."

"Oh what do you want to do with that? Be a police officer?"

"Maybe, or maybe even FBI. I want to protect people who can't protect themselves. How about you?"

"I'm Pre-Law, so I'm going to be a lawyer. But it's my dream to be the first Asian Supreme Court Justice."

They talked for awhile about life and school.

"So how's the field hockey team doing?"

"Well honestly not so well. I think morale is a little low. No one comes to the games and we don't get much funding. No one is interested in women's field hockey unfortunately. I've been trying to boost up everyone's morale before our game against East Fiore U-"

Suddenly they heard Cana yell: "Okay guys who wants to play Kings!?"

"We should play!" Erza said, "I actually haven't played in awhile."

Cana announced the rules, "So every number had a rule associated with it. We go around the circle and one person at a time picks a card and we follow the rule of that card."

Essentially it was a game designed to get everyone involved drunk. 6 was chicks, 5-guys, and when someone pulled a 4 the last person to hit the floor with their hands drinks. Every card had a rule like that associated with it. Kagura's least favorite was the Jack Card- Never have I ever. But by the end of it Kagura was feeling pleasantly buzzed, and felt like she had formed connections with many of the people from the football team and cheerleading squad who were playing.
