Lucy passed by many posters on her way to biology. Student Council had officially announced the dance that would be held on, surprise, surprise, Valentine's Day.

The blonde slumped in her seat. It had been almost two weeks since Gray told her about magic. She actually hasn't talk to him since then. It wasn't the magic part that bothered her. The dream she had was freaking her out Lucy couldn't look at him without blushing; forget talking to him.

"Hey," Mira said as she sat beside Lucy. Gray wasn't at school yet, so the seat was free. "We need to talk to you." Lucy looked up and saw Erza standing in front of her table, Levy beside her.

"About?" Lucy questioned.

"The dance!" all three girls yelled at once.

"Lucy, it is in two weeks. You need to start thinking about who you are going with," Mira said more calmly.

"What if I don't want to go?" Lucy crossed her arms.

"You do because I saw you do. Now, who do you want to go with? If there single, Mira will make it happened," Erza said, slamming her hand on the table.

"I don't want to go," Lucy said again. She had three years of wearing dresses, so she was good.

"I'm thinking either Natsu or Gray," Levy thought aloud.

"But Natsu might want to go with Lisanna," Erza though back.

"Lisanna said she might not go with anyone. She might just help Elfman and I," Mira added. The three matchmakers thought for a minute.

"Who do you want to go with? Of course, if Natsu goes with Lisanna, you have to go with Gray," Erza asked Lucy.

"I don't want to go with anyone!" Lucy yelled. She always hated being matched with someone.

"I think Gray might be the best choice. Natsu isn't a defiant yes. I know Gray will want to go with her," Mira completely ignored the blonde.

"Yes, but if Natsu agrees to go with Lucy, he wouldn't go with Lisanna," Levy pointed out.

"That's a good point. I know Lisanna wouldn't get upset about that," Mira added.

"But who would Lucy have the most fun with?" Erza asked.

"Natsu eats like a pig, but they wouldn't have food there so it isn't a problem. I guess that makes the two even. Who looks cuter with Lucy?" Levy asked. The three thought again.

"Here Gray comes now! We will set them both beside Lucy and see!" Mira said happily. Erza grabbed Natsu and Gray. The two stood beside Lucy, really confused. The three thought some more.

"I can't decide!" Levy whined. The other two agreed. The teacher came in, so everyone went to there seats to start class.

Lucy whistled as she entered her house. She didn't know why she was happy, but she was. If anything, she should have been sad. Layla told her the night before that she was going to return to the estate to talk with Jude an empty house is nothing to be happy about.

Lucy screamed when she entered her living room. A man was sitting on her couch. She wasted no time in running to the phone. The man ran up to her and grabbed the phone.

"Lucy, calm down!" the man yelled. Lucy looked up and smiled.

"Loke!" she yelled. She turned around fully and hugged him. "I need to show you something." Before Loke could ask questions, Lucy grabbed his hand and ran upstairs. They reached her room. Loke closed the door and sat on her bed, watching her looking through her closet.

He room was a little warm, so Loke opened the window. A nice breeze swam about the room.

"I found it!" Lucy said happily. She handed Loke a little box.

Gray walked into his room and plopped on his bed. His phone vibrated. Mira had sent him another text. He was pretty sure she sent him about three hundred that day, all telling him he needs to ask Lucy to the dance. He was planning on it anyways, so he didn't need three hundred reminders.

Gray stood up and walked over to his window. If Lucy's was open, he would jump over and ask her. If not, he could always use the door. Luckily, it was open. He was about to jump through, but he realized Lucy wasn't alone. A man a little older than them stood beside Lucy. He had bright orange hair.

Lucy handed the man a small box. He opened it and smiled. He didn't take the item out, though. The two hugged for a few seconds too long for Gray. He thrust his window open and jumped through.

Lucy heard a thud and let go of Loke. She looked over by her window and saw Gray. Loke seemed to go into attack mode. He moved in front of Lucy and went into fighting stance.

"Loke, it's fine. That's Gray, a friends from school. He also lives next door," Lucy explained. Loke stood up normally and stepped aside.

"Who's this guy?" Gray asked, nodding his head towards Loke.

"My name is Loke. I'm a-"

"Friend! He's one of my friends," Lucy interrupted. She really isn't want Gray to know he was one of her servants. "So what made you stop by?" Lucy changed the subject.

"Layla asked me to come stay with you while she was away." Gray's eye twitched.

"You could have stayed at my place," Gray said. He really didn't like the idea of Loke staying with Lucy. It's even worse that they were alone in the house.

Lucy shrugged and turned back to Loke. She grabbed the box and pulled the item out. It was a necklace.

"You always said Leo was your favorite Celestial Spirit, so I got you a necklace with his symbol on it." Lucy smiled and handed it to Loke. He smiled back and put it on. Gray was once again unhappy.

"Thank you. I'm going to go start dinner," Loke said. He left the room and closed the door.

"Mira wanted me to give this to you," Gray said. A large envelope magically appeared in his hands. Lucy took it and opened it. She quickly closed it.

"I'm not opening it," she quickly said. Gray reached for it. Lucy turned around. The two wrestled around for a few minutes before Gray got it. He opened it up and laughed.

"A dress catalog?" he asked. He didn't see the big deal.

"She wants me to go to that dance. I've told her a million times that I'm not going, but she insists," Lucy sighed.

"So you don't want to go?" Gray asked, a bit of sadness in his voice. Lucy shook her head. "You sure?"

"Why do you care?" Lucy snapped. She cursed mentally. She didn't want to sound mean.

"I don't," Gray mumbled. Lucy's eyes widened.

"You weren't asking because you wanted to go with me, were you?" Lucy teased. She realized he did, so she had to tease him.

"I never said that!"

"But you thought it." Revenge was sweet.

"I'm going home," Gray mumbled. He turned around to leave, but Lucy stopped him. She grabbed his arm and turned him around.

"I'm just teasing you," Lucy said as she hugged him.

"Yes," Gray sighed.

"What?" Lucy looked up at his face, trying to figure out what he meant.

"I did-"

"You two better not be fooling around," Loke said as he opened her door. Lucy blushed and stepped back at least ten feet.

"Loke!" Lucy yelled.

"We aren't back home, princess," Loke said. He laughed and left the room. Gray was really mad now. He called Lucy princess. You don't do that unless something is going on. He suddenly felt guilty for almost asking Lucy to the dance. In his defense, he didn't know she had a boyfriend.

"What's wrong?" Lucy asked.

"Nothing," Gray mumbled. He jumped back through the window.
