Levy rushed behind Mira, and I just nervously followed. We reached the front door and Mira rushed to open it, but to me, it felt like everything was going 1,000 times slower. She pushed the dial on the doorknob clockwise, unlocking the door, then slowly placing her hand on the doorknob, twisting it to the left and pulling it towards her. Once the door was opened, it revealed three boys, all of which I had seen at Natsu's practice. The first one I recognized was obviously Natsu, to the right of him a guy with long black hair and piercings lining his eyebrows and nose. Gajeel. Then to the left of Natsu was a guy with blond hair and a scar in the form of a lightning bolt near his eye. All of them were dressed very different.(A/N: No idea was dudes wear to dances :P). Gajeel had a suit on while the blond guy had a dress shirt a tie and dress pants, and Natsu wore the same except without a tie and with a leather jacket placed over him. Suits him. Natsu's eyes finally met mine and his eyes widened. Crap! Did I screw something up already?! I immediately broke the stare, shooting glances anywhere but him, but my eyes didn't want to cooperate. I glanced at Levy and she was blushing like crazy. I can't wait to tease her about this later! All of a sudden a hand pushed against my back, throwing me out the door, basically landing on Natsu. I looked up at him to see his face was blank. How is he so calm about this? I then looked around to find the same thing had happened to Levy and Gajeel. That means. I shot daggers at Mira with my eyes, as she just smiled warmly,

"Go on! You guys are being too quiet!" I looked back up at Natsu to see that he was looking down at me, smiling his signature toothy grin.

"C'mon Luce! Let's go!" he cheered, grabbing my arm, and pulling me down the stairs. I started blushing harder as he pulled me down the sidewalk. Wait, the sidewalk?

"Natsu, are we walking to the school?" I questioned. I have no idea how far School is from Mira's house.

"Of course!" he looked at me as if the answer was the most obvious in the entire world.

"How far is the school from here?" I asked again. All of a sudden his look changed to a nervousness, slowing his pace and releasing my hand.

"Ummmm, 30 minutes walking," he answered, scratching the back of his neck with his free hand. My eyes widened in shock at the time he had stated.

"Natsu! It'll take us forever to get there, why can't we just take a car?" I pushed, annoyed at his stupidity. He shrugged,

"Cause I have terrible motion sickness. And can we please stop mentioning the word car," his face began to turn green as his cheeks puffed up.

"Your puking just thinking about it?" I tried to act annoyed, but I couldn't stop myself from giggling.

"Hey! Don't make fun of my pain!" I doubled over with laughter. He crossed his arms over his chest. My laughter slowly began to die down as he gave me a sort of death stare.

"C'mon, let's start walking," I offered and he nodded.

Outside it was near sunset, the colors of rainbow painting themselves over the once blue horizon in red and orange. We had only been walking for about 15 minutes, but walking 15 minutes in what I swear to be the most uncomfortable pair of heels to ever exist. And they were barely a 1/2 an inch tall. I've never really worn a dress of heals, except for the occasional parties my family held when I was younger...let's not talk about that. I swear I'm gonna take these off. I stop in my track and begin to pull off the heels when I feel something warm on my leg and back pull my of the ground. I flinch a bit when my body is pulled off the pavement and my eyes are met with a pair of slanted eyes. I jump up a bit, flustered.

"W-why!" I stutter out, nearly yelling towards the end. A smirk played onto his lips,

"You looked tired," he explained, his grin widening. My face grew bright red and my cheeks warmed up. Crap, I'm blushing. I flailed my arms around, which were formed into fists and yelled,

"Put me down!"

"Sheesh," he breathed, still smirking. He placed my feet back on the ground, my feet starting to ache again. Maybe I should've let him carry me... "Are you sure you're OK?" he asked. He must have noticed my pain.

"Yeah I'm fine," I forced out.

"Here, get on my back," he offered, gesturing behind him. I blushed and compliantly walked behind him, draping my hands around his neck, jumping up so he could his hands around my legs. (A/N: Piggyback) I blushed harder and thankfully he couldn't see. I rested my head on his shoulder as he continued walking. I wanted to sleep so badly, but then I would be all groggy once we reached the dance. Nope! Sleep is for the weak! I let out a small inward laugh at my thoughts, my eyes slowly beginning to droop downward.

(A/N: Added in more fluff so that this seems less like a filler. Sorry for the wait, I was having terrible writer's block when a friend of mine gave me a small fluffy idea! BYE BYE WRITERS BLOCK, SEE YOU NEXT TIME I FINISH A MAJOR PLOT POINT! Anyways, I'd like to thank all of you for the support I've been getting for this book-fanfiction-thingy, seriously, you guys are AWESOME! See you guys in a few days, or maybe a week or so. Depends really. Though I'll try my best to bring it to you as soon as I can! Hope I could make you smile! BOIIIII)
