Chapter 18: Festival!

She jumped out of her seat and ran out of my house smiling, but my problem was that, was she smiling with happiness? Or sadness?

After she left the house I looked up to the moon that was shaped as a crescent, it shone its light into my eyes, it didn't hurt though it was just extremely pretty. "The day after tomorrow huh? I guess tomorrow I should just chill and wait until the festival" I mumbled to myself while getting into bed. I hugged my legs close to me and just hoped to myself that Fairy Tail won't be going to the festival. I fell asleep dreaming about the past as usual.

I wake up to find myself drooling and that I wasn't on my bed, I was on the floor. I got up and rubbed my eyes, I got changed into my usual clothes and walked outside heading for Fairy Tail. As I get to Fairy Tail I spot Wendy and Levy waving at me. I smile at them and run towards them, Levy nudges me with her elbow and softly says "You seem really happy, did something happen between you and Sting?" I looked off to the side and blushed without saying anything. Levy poked my cheek while Wendy held my hands, "Did he kiss you?" Levy teased. My heart skipped a beat when she said that.

"He did?" Wendy asked innocently. I just flushed red and slightly nodded, I heard Wendy and Levy gasp. "Not bad Lucy…" Levy smirked. "So there's a festival tomorrow, you want to go with me and Levy?" Wendy asked. "I would but I already made plans with Sting, sorry" I apologized while putting my hands together and slightly lowering my head. "It's okay Lucy! We understand, anyways we can see you and Sting together" We all laughed together.

"Hey everyone!" I turned around to see who was shouting, it was Natsu and he was on top of the table. "I heard there was a festival tomorrow! Let's all go together as a guild!" Erza screamed. I started to shake, what happens if they see me? Wendy notices that I was shaking a bit with fear "It's okay, if you go earlier than them and avoid them, it will be fine" She reassured me while putting her small hand on my shoulder "Thanks Wendy" I thanked her and hugged her.

"Do you know what you are going to wear for the festival Lucy?" Levy asked. "No not really, I was planning to just wear my regular clothes" Levy hit my on the head "You can't wear your regular clothes! You should wear a kimono!" I put my finger to my chin and thought about the kimono "A kimono would be nice, yeah" As we finished our conversations about what was going to happen tomorrow, the rest or Fairy Tail was planning what they would do tomorrow. I went home after our chat to go search for my kimono that I had long time ago.

When I got home I opened my drawer and looked at the back, there was a pink kimono, it had a variety of pink flowers scattered around it. The obi was a darker shade of pink, I also had some hair accessories to go with the outfit. I would have to tie my hair in a bun and there would be a flower pin tied to my hair.

After finding my clothes and arranging them which took quite a long time, I decided that it was perfect time to go to sleep.

When I woke up I quickly looked at my clock and it was already 12pm! "Wow I'm really loving my sleep" I mumbled to myself. I ate my brunch and had a long bath. Making sure that my hair wasn't a mess, I brushed it thoroughly for about twenty minutes.

Time skip

After taking a long time to put on my kimono and prepare my hair it was finally time for me to meet up with Sting here. I heard a knock on the door, I opened the door to find Sting in his yukata, it was grey and black. "Shall we go?" Sting asks while smiling at me. "Okay!" I giggle

When we arrived my face lit up with joy, the whole place was so beautiful, there were stalls for food and games, lots of lanterns, lots of pretty ornaments, there were just loads of beautiful things around me. I blush lightly from all the excitement. I feel warmth around my right hand, I look down to see that Sting was holding my hand, I blush. Sting pointed at the different stalls "Should we go?" I nodded and said "Yes!"

We went around buying different types of food and we played lots of games. There was a target shooting stall, Sting managed to aim perfectly and shoot this huge toy that was a really chibi looking cat. He handed the toy to me and said while hiding his face behind the cat "Here" I laughed and thanked him and giving him a peck on the cheek. He blushed and so was I but I was hiding my flushed face behind the toy.

I hear shouting and cheering coming from the back of us, I peek over to see who those people and it was Fairy Tail. "Shoot" I mumble to myself. I glance over at Sting and it looks like he notices them as well, "Go over to that stand and pretend to buy something" Sting whispers to me. I nod my head and jog towards the cotton candy stand. I was pretty far away from them now so I bought some cotton candy anyways.

"Hey aren't you Sting?" Erza pointed to Sting. He stops and turns around slowly with cold eyes. "Yeah, so what?" Sting says with disgust. "If you are here then Lucy should be with you, where is she?" Natsu points out. Sting sighs and looks to the side "She didn't want to come today, probably because of you guys" He lied. Natsu glares at Sting "What did you say"

From the corner of my eyes I see Asami, she had a violin case on her back, she spots me and waves to me and I wave back to her. She opens up her violin case and starts to play a familiar song, I pretty sure it was Bach Violin sonata no.1 in G minor. She plays elegantly, her hair slightly flowing in the wind under the glowing moon. It distracted Fairy Tail and loads of other people. Erza points to Asami and shouts "Everyone let's go and watch this amazing performance!" I cover my face as they run past me, I look back at Asami and she winks at me while smiling. I bowed my head to her saying thank you, I ran back to Sting. "I think it is time we go home, right?" Sting asks, I reply "Yeah I think we should"

When Asami stopped playing everyone started to clap and cheer for her. I looked back, she didn't smile once at her audience. As she left from where she was standing she slowly disappeared from sight.

"I have to thank her later" I happily said to Sting. "She cheated a bit to get everyone's attention, hahaha" Sting laughed. I was confused then I realized that she used music magic "By combining her skill and her magic together she was able to get everyone's attention, did you find it strange that Fairy Tail left me alone? That was because she was concentrating her magic towards Fairy Tail. It was also strange that most of everyone in the festival did not ignore her, a few people would usually just continue what they were doing but they didn't"

"Ah Lucy!" I hear a very cheerful voice, I turn and I see Wendy and Levy. "I see you're here with Sting!" Wendy said while smiling brightly at me. I blushed and shouted at the both of them "Ah you guys stop!" I blushed even harder. Sting looked very confused. "Anyways we will leave two to your lovey dovey moment, byeee" Levy teased. I sweat dropped and waved goodbye.
