And ごめなさいGomenasai for late update.

His eyes widened at the 8 numbers on the note, and also noticed a small scribble
"To the lost puppy/stalker."
BOOM went his heart.
A clear voice spoke behind him, speaking rather clearly," The bills are 50 dollars, mister Dragneel."
Damn.

READY OR NOT

"Ring"

Lucy's phone ringed for the 10th time that day. Lucy Heartfilia, not a patient person, picked up the phone roughly, screaming bloody murder to the caller who she knew probably was the exact same person who had been calling her ever since the day before, before slamming her phone down on the new beside table near her dorm bed.

It had been just yesterday since she moved into her Collage dormitory, and is now starting on unpacking her stuff, but being super annoyed because of that stupid stalker. Natsu Dragneel, that was his name right?

Lucy put her last stack of clothing into the drawer near hers when she heard another loud ring of her phone. She impatiently threw her cardboard boxes at the dorm wall before answering her phone, this time not only screaming murder but threatening to call the police. Damn she should have put the phone in silent mode.

"Hi Lu-chan!"

Lucy hissed," WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU CALL ME FOR, YOU FUCKIGN STALKER! AND DON'T CALL ME LU CHAN! MY NAME IS LUCY! AND HOW DID YOU FUCKING GET MY NUMBER!"

The voice at the end of the call seemed to smirk as Natsu replied," You gave it to me don't you remember, Lu-chan?"

Lucy groaned as she grasped her phone between her shoulder and her ear while she went to settle her shoes. "God, stop calling me! And get rid of that stupid nickname you fucking bastard!" Eh? Where are those black kitty heels?

The voice seemed to have read her mind," Are you looking for your black kitty heels?"

Lucy narrowed her eyes," How did you know?"

The voice seemed to grin on the other end," Its smells nice. Did you put feet lotion?"

Lucy snarled, hissing as much as she can, "How. The. Fuck. Do. You. Have. My. Shoes."

Natsu replied," Don't you remember that day; you were at the club dancing? You and your silver mask entrance?" The voice seemed to smile more. "You and your challenge to me?" At that time, she seemed to hear a crunch from the other end, followed by his voice again," But I mean, what so special about this shoes? I mean, they are just shoes."

Lucy! Here, a gift for you! To show how grown up you are!

Thanks, mommy!

Lucy bit her lip," They are a gift from my mother you stupid bastard. Give them back!

"How, I teleport to your dorm?"

Lucy growled as she picked up her remaining shoes, lining them up in a row near the bench she got to put her shoes, her phone still stuck on her shoulder.

Those shoes were important. How careless of her to leave them there.

"Oh, about yesterday, how come you didn't come to the club by the way? I thought you said you would!" The voice whined.

"I said maybe bucko. But even so I wanted to go I don't have those black kitty heels! I need them!" Lucy explained.

"Uh huh. So what so special about those shoes?" The voice questioned and Lucy could sense the curiosity she had always hated. She gritted her teeth. She hated it so much. That voice of those who wanted to poke into her life.

"None of your fucking business," Lucy snarled into the phone and was about to end the call when the voice suddenly said something she could not catch.

"Wait what?!"

"I said, you have to come to the club tonight if you want your shoes." This time she was really pissed.

"FUCK YOU NATSU DRAGNEEL!" She screamed into the phone.

"Oh you want to fuck me?" the voice seemed to smile on the other end.

"Ew. Fuck no, bitch." Lucy spat into the phone.

"Hm." The voice kept silent for a while before replying," If you want those pair of shoes back then you have to come to the club tonight, or say bye bye to those shoes. I will add it to my ladies shoe collection!"

"You sicko!"She hissed.

"Well, I have a great fever for fucki-." Lucy clicked the end button before he could finish his last words.

"Ergh." Lucy moaned, rubbing her hands against the temples of her head.

She has no choice then. She sighed reluctantly as she glanced at the clock, before going to her wardrobe and pick a dress for the club.

At that moment, she heard the door open as she glanced from the side of the wardrobe

Oh yeah, her new roommate is supposed to come right now.

Her eyes fell onto the mass of bright blue hair that came through the door and surprisingly was shorter than her.

Wait…

Blue hair?

Her brown eyes met the blue eyes of Levy who stood at the door, her blue eyes filled with sudden shock and panic before she squeaked, trembling from head to toe," The-the silver mask lady!"

And at once, Levy crumpled to her feet, fainting right onto Lucy herself.

The night disco was again filled with bustling college students. And this time again, Natsu Dragneel was right in the middle of it all.

The music blasted through the large speakers that hung around the entire club as Mira took Levy's (who had not come yet) place as the DJ her skilled fingers spinning the discs while dancing lightly where she stood. Neon lights sprayed large spotlights on the dancing members of Fairy Tail.

And being the confident person he is, Natsu Dragneel knew she will be coming today.

He glance at Mira who smiled, right next to the discs she was spinning was a large shoe box containing the shoes that belonged to Lucy herself.

Natsu's eyes then fell on Gray who gave a lopsided grin, happy that Natsu is back. Natsu never felt so exhilarated before.

"Testing one two three…" Mira's voice spoke through the loud speakers as the music slowly died down.

The wreckage on the dance floor died down too as Mira flashed a brilliant smile and at once, everybody knew what is coming next.

"We will be having the special couple dance today!"

The club released a long term cheers and holler. Fairy Tail always is full of surprises. The on-goers in the club stopped everything they were doing and they reached out to the people they want to partner. Soon, everybody got paired up with the people they wanted to do. Elfman in the corner lowered the neon lights and soon the club was filled with the comfy dim pink lights. Mira flipped through her MP3 list and selected a slow dance song before she slipped back on the black monster beats with silver spikes protruding from the ends. She played the song while her fingers lowered and spun the buttons on the DJ table, as the music spun with slow dance beats.

The club turned into a soft comfortable place as nobody moved from their partners. And at that same moment, Elfman opened the door after hearing a knock on Fairy Tail's door, to find a flash of silver and gold before it disappeared into the darkness of the club, followed by Levy who sheepishly waved Elfman off.

Natsu Dragneel in the club stood alone near the DJ table as he glanced around in the club for the familiar silver and gold. She could be here any moment.

He leaned against the table, as the soft romantic music made him feel rather sleepy. His head banged slightly with the box containing her shoes as he glance sleepily in the darkness. He rejected all the girls who asked him to dance with her. He wants to dance with Lucy alone.

Suddenly, his sharp eyes caught sight of the familiar silver, before his eyes adjusting to the blond that ran around the disco floor.

He pushed through the crowd, a smile on his face.

It's her.

He reached out his hand, as his hands wrapped around a thin wrist and he smiled, looking at Lucy, dressed in a similar mini dress since that day. He pulled her in, as he swayed her to the soft music, smiling triumphantly at his prey.

Lucy clicked her tongue annoyed, as she glared at him, trying to pull away from him in frustration but he held on tightly. She did not shrug away, but her feet, adorned with stilettos slammed against his toes, hissing at him," Let. Me. Go."

He yelped before hissing back," Ow. Why the fuck did you do that?!"

Lucy hissed," I'm not here to dance! I'm. Here. To. Get. Back. My. Shoes"

Natsu smirked," A little dance won't affect it. I mean, you can those shoes back aft-"

Lucy spat in his face, and did not move anymore to the music," NO. I am not going to waste my time here for some small dance. I. Just. Need. My. Shoes."

She gripped his hands which were on her waist and pried his fingers off her hands. But he held on firmly as he whispered leaning to her. "Stop STOPPING! We are in a middle of a-"

"SLAP"

A clear stinging sound echoed in the club over the soft music that flowed. Everyone turned their heads to see the pink haired male with a stinging red hand print on his right cheek, where else the blond who stood infront of him had her hand raised, equally as red as his cheek.

Lucy rubbed her hand painfully at his strong jaw, and glanced around the club, before her eyes lay upon the shoe box on the counter. She walked to it with a hurry, her heels clicked annoyingly to the flashing dance floor, not noticing the large crowds glancing at her.

As her fingers pried open the top of the shoebox, revealing her black kitty heels, she grimaced, picking up the box, ready to leave.

Before a large hand grabbed her wrist and the persistent pink haired male did not let go this time.

She hissed," Let. Me. Go. Unless, you want another one."

Natsu used his other hand to rub his face, the mark no longer as red as before, revealing a raw pink colour as he did not let go still. But his face no longer held that smirk, but true resolution.

"Join us."

Lucy, confused, glared at him. "What?"

Natsu smiled. "Join Fairy Tail."

The entire club went silent, the music continued playing, but no one was dancing anymore.

They heard what Natsu said, and everyone once they got over their shock protested at Natsu's decision, especially Gray.

"Natsu Dragneel!" Gray shouted over the din and rushed to Natsu with pure anger in his eyes.

He pulled his friend up by the collar, as he spat in his face.

"Enough already! What is so good about this girl that you are willing to give up your spot, give up doing what you were supposed to do and now invite her in! Why the hell are you risking so much!?" Gray hollered, his black eyes were no longer friendly with his best friend.

Natsu did not flinch, as he pushed away Gray's hands swiftly, replying," You saw her dance, didn't you. Master agreed with my decision to make the Queen of Fairy Tail once she won. And if I won, she would be my woman. The results were equal that doesn't mean she cannot be my woman or be the Queen. It means she must join. You saw her potential didn't you? It fits right in to what we are planning! We NEED her." His hand gripped tighter around her wrist, as she glared at him.

Gray narrowed his eyes, before hissing," Well, she doesn't want to join. She even dared to hurt you and she even wanted to ruin our plans now, causing you to waste time. She is affecting EVERYTHING."

Lucy suddenly flinched; glancing at Gray's cold eyes as she suddenly went numb.

Those eyes.

She wiggled around, moving and struggling so hard Natsu glanced at her. Gray glared at her before both best friends heard her whisper. "Let me go… Now."

Natsu widened his eyes, as he saw beneath the mask; her eyes were rimmed with tears.

She screamed," LET ME GO."

Before she gave a large tug, not caring the pain she felt from the friction as she ran out of the disco club, releasing herself from Natsu.

Natsu called out to her, before being pulled back at Gray.

"We DON'T need her. We are already good enough WITHOUT her. Don't go and waste time on someone who is not willing to join even."

But this time Natsu did not reply, only giving Gray a punch in the jaw, releasing him from Gray before he ran out of the club too.

"LUCY!"

Natsu pant, but to only see an empty road in front of the club; before he ran through the alleys and pavements, looking for the blond.

Not knowing a girl was crying in a hidden corner, her face was buried in her knees, as she let her hair cover from the world outside. She sobbed, as mascara rolled down her face in droplets, her hand rubbing the right side of her face, her silver mask in her hand.

"Never..."

Those eyes. She bit her lip so hard she could taste a tiny bit of blood spurting out on her lip gloss she had spread on her lips. She flinched so badly as those eyes unlocked her past, and as her horrible past flows into her mind, she cried even more rubbing her shoulder hard, shivering badly, as she screamed a soundless cry. Her pain was indescribable, but no one was there for her and she doesn't want anyone to be there for her. No body. The right side of her face hurt as bad as she clawed into it, gripping the rough lines which curled and burn on her face as she screamed, pain was excruciating.

"Dance…. I cannot… dance…anymore… Its hurts so bad…"

But she cried even more, curling herself up more.

"But I can't stop loving dance…"

Natsu could not find her, not that night. So he thought of finding her today, as he entered Collage.

He searched the library for the girl, to meet the same bunch of girls from then as he brush them off, looking for the girl more desperately.

Why was she crying? He bit his lip.

Was it his fault she cried? Or was it Gray's? He thought as he ran through the hall way, skipping his lessons again. He wanted to know more about her.

Alot more.

He wants to protect her from anything.

He never felt like this before, but her existence was something different from love, something deeper. She was mysterious, she is cold, yet she smiles the most beautiful smile when she is happy, she cries, over mysterious reasons he want to know, so he can protect her from them. He wants to hold her right now.

Lucy did want to go collage.

But she could not skip it, after all her Collage fees are using her own money to pay.

She bit her lip, gripping her school bag tightly as she entered the collage doors. Her eyes still feel wet from yesterday and her face hurts so much. She let her hair cover the right side of her face again as she walked through the hall ways to her locker. She did not talk to her roommate, Levy this morning leaving before she woke up, heading ot the coffee shop nearby and hanging around there till now.

She wanted to avoid everything, she does not want to talk to anyone or anybody and she most definitely don't want to see that boy. Natsu Dragneel.

He got so close to know about it… Why can't he stay away… She gritted her teeth in anger.

But… She rubbed her wrist… He was somewhat nice... She unconsciously thought as she opened her locker.

Suddenly, a mass of sticky goo and mud came tumbling out, as she barely dodged it, staining her top in the morning and her jeans. She glanced up to see her books drenched with black ink and all destroyed to the point. She clenched her locker tightly. This is happening again…

She closed her locker to hear at the same moment a loud echo of giggles and snickers. She looked to her left so see those girls from the library that day pointing and laughing at her.

One of them, the one who was clinging on to Natsu's arm that day exclaimed loudly, while the people passing through saw her. "Oh My GAWD! She looks like she pooped in her pants! And moreover she sticks! Ewww! Not toilet trained whore? Or yeah, a whore is a pig! PIG!"

The people passing could not help but laugh slightly, all glancing at her.

Lucy calmly locked her locker, about to walk off, passing by them.

The girls narrowed their eyes at her before one of them walked to her and pulled her back roughly.

"Hey! We are talking to you you know. Are you deaf bitch?"

Lucy did not reply again, as she brush off that girl's hands and walked away.

The girl grit her teeth, kicking her in the back with her heels. Lucy winced as the heels pierced her back. She fell to the ground before looking up, to see the girls sneering down at her, their arms akimbo.

"This is for hanging out with Natsu Dragneel, you ugly bitch."

Lucy hissed," I. Have. Nothing. To. Do. With. Him."

The girl sneered," Yeah right, like I would believe a whore like you."

Lucy glared at her. " What are you, high schoolers? Childish much?"

The girl glared at her as she pulled Lucy up by the hair, sneering. "Bitch. Fine, if we are like high schoolers, let's PLAY…"

Natsu sighed as he lay sprawled on his desk. Gray was sitting right in front of him, but they were not exactly speaking.

He glanced out of the window, when he received a message from a "pal" of his from Fairy Tail.

He opened the message, reading "Come and meet me at the staircase near the library now. I have info on her."

He closed his phone, slightly grinning, knowing now he will get a clue about her whereabouts now.

He raised his hand asking to use the washrooms, before leaving the lecture room with his hands buried in his jean pockets and a smile on his face.

"Thump!" Lucy slammed against the wall, but unlike her high school years, this cannot be compared with her pain before. She was lifted up by a monstrous girl who held her up with her single buff hand while the girl who kicked her before hissed in her face. "Is this not fun enough?"

Lucy spat, her face remained calm though. "Such childish methods. You are such a sensitive woman who bully people because you got rejected."

Lucy hit the nerve as the monstrous girl gave Lucy a kick after she dropped onto the ground. The girl who kicked her with her heels snapped her fingers, as the gang produced a still smoking cigarette. She gave it a puff before flicking the lighter to burn the smoking tip more.

"You little bitch… always hiding beneath that fringe on yours. You are such an ugly pig that deserves nothing but a scar that will remain there forever." The girl sneered before signalling to the monstrous girl to hold her still while the gang of girls surrounded her as her hair flowed down her face.

Lucy suddenly got a bad feeling before she glanced up, the eye on her right side of her face glanced through the hair at the girl tipping up her chin, as the cigarette seem to head straight for her….

No no no.

Lucy started to struggle, as the girl finger her fringe which covered the right side of her face, before blowing puffs of smoke at Lucy's face.

"Let's see what is under this annoying fringe… You suicidal bitch." She whispered softly.

Lucy suddenly heard a scream, and realise it was hers.

The girl pressed her cigarette against her face, but she felt something wrap tightly against her mouth to surpress the agonizing holler that escaped.

She could only watch the girls face laugh and sneer at her face as tears rimmed her lashes, before she watched their faces turn into horror as their screams of laughter turn into gasps and disgusted looks. She could do nothing but close her eyes.

"Oh my gawd… what the hell is wrong with her face."

"yeah, it looked like it got burned and melted like a candle!"

"Eww…. Nowonder she is such an ugly whore, she had such an ugly scar!"

Lucy heard those comments before, but she could only close her eyes and wanted this to be just a terrifying nightmare she can wake up from.

Someone, please bring me somewhere else… Anywhere but here… Lucy whispered as the girls dropped the cigarette on her hair as their taunting became more vigorous than ever.

One of them produced another cigarette, but this time deciding to pour it into her mouth as she hung limply, her whole body felt immobile as she could not move, her memories were unlocking as fast as it could, before her body shivered so badly she felt her cold face disappear, revealing the emotions she was trained not to show.

Suddenly, a loud shout was heard as loud stampeding came down the stairs nearby as the girls glance up in horror. Lucy however was too weary all of a sudden did not see that someone but to only fall to the ground as the grip around her arms disappears.

But before her head cracked against the ground, familiar warm hands grabbed her shoulders, as she looked up to see that familiar shade of pink hair before she smiled, never before was she so relief as she recognized her saviour.

Just before she lost her conscious and fell into darkness in her mind.

Did I say there isn't much dance? LOL, I acutally meant not very much dance. I can't miss out a dance in the club :D And if you read my Natsumi and Lucia story, you will realise that I actually told you guys beforehand about the Ready Or Not plan in the latest chapter :P And I am super sorry but I maybe stopping this momentarily this due to the extra adventures I have in mind for Natsumi and Lucia LOL, I hope you guys will forgive me!

Sorry but the next update may be in coming in a while, because exams are near :x

But here's the preview for the next chapter :D

Natsu smiled while the music continued to blast. He held Lucy's hand, and together they swung off to the next move. Tonight was a beautiful night.

Lucy asked" So Fairytail isn't just a club but also a dance group? So you guys do mob dances here and there?"

Natsu grinned as she felt him tug her waist closer to him as the music came to a stop. She immediately slammed her heels on his shoe. He released a loud yelp as he brushed his nose gently against hers.

"Seriously?" He whined as she banged her forehead against his.

Lucy smirked as she let go of his hands. "So that's all Fairy Tail does?"

Natsu pulled her back in again," No, much more."
