The night of the dance rolled around faster than expected. Lucy had agreed to attend without fuss if she could go alone. To their dismay, everyone agreed. Gray had tried to few times to ask her, but he was always interrupted. Luckily, Ur called Child Services and worked everything out, so Lucy could stay.

"You look amazing!" Mira cooed. Lucy blushed and looked away. She had her green dress on, three-inch black heels, and her hair down. All her friends had amazing dresses on, their boyfriends ties matching. She even saw Lyon and Sherry on her way to her friends. Sherry had a pretty silver dress on.

"You do look rather pretty," Danny said with a smile. It seemed like he was always finding ways to compliment her. Lucy thanked him and looked around.

"Looking for me?" Arms wrapped around Lucy's shoulders.

"I was making sure everyone was here," Lucy lied. Gray laughed and let her go. She turned around and looked at him. His tie was...gray. She mentally face-palmed. Of all colors, he had to pick gray.

The music started playing. The normal lights were shut off and replaced with neon lights and a disco ball. Tiny hearts hung from the ceiling of the gymnasium. Everyone started to dance. Well, Lucy stood there awkwardly, not really sure how to dance at a party. About half the dance went by before she figured it out.

"Lucy," Danny said. She turned around and saw Danny standing a little too close. he shrugged it off, thinking he wanted to make sure she heard him. "There's a car waiting for us outside." Her eyes widened. What was he talking about? She wasn't in audience much longer. "I was hired to bring you back to your father."

Lucy turned around to run. Danny grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back. "By any means possible," he whispered in her ear. She struggled against his grasp. He slowly started walking away with her. Gray noticed and followed.

"Let me go!" Lucy cried. Danny smirked and kept walking. He really didn't understand what was so hard about this job.

"I would suggest letting her go," Gray said. Danny turned around and laughed.

"And what are you going to do about it?!" Gray held his palm out, his fist on too. Lucy's eyes widened. "I don't know what you are trying to do, but it won't work!"

Danny threw Lucy on the ground. He ran towards Gray, two daggers forming in his hands.

"Require magic!" Gray shouted. He quickly dodged he blades. "Ice Make: Lance!" Danny held out his hands and the ice shattered. Eight ninja stars appeared between his fingers. Gray quickly made a shield to dodge them. One hit him though. It felt like a chainsaw ran three him.

"What the hell!" Gay cried. Blood soaked his sleeve.

"I don't use l magic. I manipulate molecules. I happen to have an Infinity Pouch attached to my belt!" Danny yelled. A piece of ice flew past his head. It didn't come from Gray.

"What the hell do you think you're doing! Both of you!" Lyon yelled. Gray flinched.

"I'm completely a job. Gray is sadly attempting to stop me," Danny smirked. Gray stood up and formed pa sword of ice. Every swipe was dodged. By now, the music stopped and everyone was watching the battle.

"Oxygen splitting sphere!" Danny summoned. Gray's face slowly turned purple. He suddenly couldn't breathe. "I've dispersed the oxygen molecules in a sphere around your head. How do you like it?" Lyon quickly punched Gray in the face, breaking the sphere.

"Ice Make: Eagles!" Lyon summoned. Fifteen eagles flew at Danny's head. He shattered them all. All the students started to panic.

"Natsu, take Lucy and run! Jellal, Mira, Lisanna Gajeel, Erza, clear the area!" Gray ordered. They all quickly did so, confused out of their minds.

"You're not taking her!" Danny yelled. He three two daggers at Natsu, who froze. He saw a flash of red hair. Erza had caught the blades!

"Ice Make: Prison!" Gray shouted. Danny was trapped in a prison of ice. He quickly shattered it.

"Ice Make: Lion!" Lyon yelled. The lion roared and attacked Danny. A cord wrapped around the cat's neck. Electricity flowed and the beast shattered. The same cord flew for Gray next. Erza jumped in front and blocker it with her daggers.

"Erza!" Lucy gasped. Erza quickly handed Narsu the weapons and went to help clear people.

"Exploding needles!" Danny roared. Needles shot out at Lyon and Gray. Their clothes were wripped to shreds. The two grabbed hands.

"Ice Make: Tomb!" they shouted in unison. A giants box of ice closed around Danny. He grew smaller every second.

"Disperse!" The ice exploded. The two ice mages quickly made a shields to cover all the innocent students.

Two cords wrapped around Lyon and Gray's leg. Electricity flowed. The last thing Gray saw was Lucy behind dragged away, screaming his name. He collapsed on the ground. Danny had knocked stunned them.

Students screamed and called the police. They looked around them. Ice shards, weapons, and ruined party decorations lay everywhere. Within minutes, ambulance lights filled the area. Lyon and Gray were quickly taken to the hospital.

"Wh-where am I?" Gray asked, lazily opening his eyes. Bright lights filled his view.

"You're at the hospital, Gray." The voice sounded familiar, but something was off about it. The person was definitely mad about something. He turned his head and saw a familiar face. Ur. "You know, I'm not sure whether to hug you in relief or punch your brains out for being so reckless! How could you? You know better than to use your magic in front of people!"

The events of the previous night flashed through his mind. Lucy! Gray sat up quickly. He winced in pain as an IV was ripped from his skin. He didn't care. He stood up anyways, stippling all the cords from his body. A few alarms started going off

"Dammit, Gray!" Ur yelled. She tried to push him back on the bed. He struggled with all his night. Pain ripped brought his body as wounds were opened. He also felt a little dizzy; he lost a lot of blood.

A few nurses came in. They tried their best to lay Gray back down, but they couldn't. The one nurse finally decided to do things the hard way. His shoved a needle in his arm. Everything started to go blurring for Gray.

"I have to...save...Lu-" Gray collapsed on the bed. Giving him something put him to sleep was the only option. Ur sighed and sat back down. She watched all the nurses put the IV back in his arm. They had to bandage him, too.

Honestly, what was she going to with him?
