Hermione gasped as they landed. It was beautiful! The Mall had a glass roof, so they could see all the stars in the sky, and everything was so bright and...sparkly!
"Okay'" Lucy said. "Quick introductions, for those of you who don't know one another - Hermione, Erza, Levy, Wendy, Chelia, Juvia, Minerva, Lisanna and Cana." She pointed at each of them in turn, but the girls barely had time to acknowledge each other before several other spirits appeared. One was a stunning blunette with a fish tail, another was a cute pink-haired girl dressed in a woolly dress, and the last was a striking asian girl in a belly top and genie pants.
"Aries! Aquarius!" Lucy greeted the first two, hugging the startled sheep girl, and bowing towards the mermaid who huffed in response, but looked pleased.
"Libra!" Yukino said, her greeting slightly calmer than Lucy's, and embraced the third women.
Lucy turned back to the girls. "Okay, these are some of the spirits that Yukino and I have contracts with, and they'll be joining us today!" The blonde said excitedly.
Having finished all the introductions, the expanded group set off, determined to find the perfect outfits.
5 hours, several cups of coffee and a few tidal waves later, the girls entered their last shop. All of them had their dresses except for Hermione, and they were determined to find her one before they left.
Lucy clapped her hands, grabbing the others attention. "Okay, ladies," she said. "We need a dress for Hermione. Having discussed the matter with her over our last coffee break, I can reveal the requirements: first of all, it must be full length. Second, it must be navy blue to match her guild mark. And finally, it must be gorgeous enough to drive Rogue crazy!" Her enthusiasm distracted the girls from the last bit for a moment, but then they realised what she had said.
"WHAT?!" They all screamed in unison, except for Juvia.
"Juvia thinks that Hermione and Rogue make a good couple," she stated, and Lisanna lost her startled expression and nodded enthusiastically.
"Yeah! They're both kind of bookish and really smart, and they just compliment each other so well!" She said.
All the other girls murmured in agreement, and Minerva walked over to a tomato-red Hermione and smirked at her. "Have a little crush on Rogue, do we?" She said slyly.
"I-ah, um...just. Maybe." The brunette finally admitted, and much to her surprise, instead of teasing her, Minerva squealed, and ran off to find the perfect dress.
"What was that about?" Hermione wondered aloud, and Lucy grinned.
"She gets rather...excited about other people's love lives. And she gets super into it as well, so don't be surprised if you find yourself locked in a cupboard with Rogue, or something," the blonde said casually.
"Locked in a cupboard?!" Hermione squeaked.
"Yeah, that happened to me and Gajeel a few days ago," Levy said, blushing as everyone turned to look at her. "I, ah, did I say that out loud?" She asked awkwardly.
Hermione and Lucy wore matching evil grins. "Why, yes, dearest Levy. You did. Now, what's this about?" The blonde said, moving closer.
The petite blunette blushed and tried to back away, but the demon duo cornered her.
"Well, um, Minerva might have found my diary, and she might have read a bit about a certain dragon-slayer. And then she locked us in a cupboard. That-that's all that happened" she said, shifting uncomfortably.
"Oh, is it now? What really happened in the cupboard?" Hermione asked, and Levy blushed even more violently.
"Some...stuff," she said evasively, and Lucy rolled her eyes.
"Be more specific!" She said, poking her friend.
"Well, uh, he askedmetobehisdatetotheyuleball!" Levy said in a rush, and both girls squealed.
"Thank god for Minerva!" Hermione exclaimed, and the girl in question reappeared.
"What about me?" She asked, but her question was never answered, because Lucy spied the dress she had over her arm.
"Oooh! Let's see!" She said, and snatched the dress up, holding it out.
It fell to the floor in a wave of shimmering blue fabric, with pale gold edging along the hem and neckline. It had short sleeves made of stardust silk, which were semi-transparent with a golden tinge.
Lucy squealed. "It's gorgeous! Rogue is going to lose it!" She said, jumping around like a lunatic.
Hermione blushed, but rolled her eyes at the blonde's antics.
Now that they had finally found a dress for Hermione, the girls went back to Earth and got some well-needed rest.
A/N - Hah, Lucy ships them now - imagine her reaction when she finds out they're actually going to the ball together! A little bit of GaLe for all you shippers out there! As always, reviews are welcome •^_^•
