Author's Note: I do not own neither Fairy Tail, nor do I own Beauty and The Beast.

I sat out under the warming sunshine, smiling to myself while looking around. Seems like a pretty good day. I thought to myself. It was pretty chilly seeing as to how it was nearing winter but standing under the sun it was a nice chilly. There was people all around me, passing by while I sat on the town fountain, listening to the water. I had my new boom in my. I'd read the book probably millions of times before, but it was so entrancing. I moved back a little on the edge of the fountain and pulled my legs up under, looking down at my book. The librarian, a nice old man, had given the book to me, because of how many times I'd read it. One I was finally comfortable with my position so I opened my book and began to read.

I had finally gotten to the part where she met "prince charming" but she wouldn't really know that until chapter three. I went to stretch and I suddenly noticed there was some guy staring at me. I narrowed my eyes and sighed when I realized who it was. Laxus. He was so full of himself and it seemed to me that somehow he'd gotten it into his big fat head that I was going to marry him, which I certainly wasn't. He got with a woman, treated her like trash, then left her, still for some reason unknown, wanting more. I wasn't about that life, and I didn't understand the girls who were.

He seemed to catch my eye because now he was walking towards me behind him. I quickly got up and started walking away.

"Hey! Levy!" I groaned and stopped.

"Yes Laxus?" He walked in front of me and smiled.

"Hey there beauty." I tried my best to smile.

"Is there something that you needed? I'm very busy..."

He picked my book out of my hand.

"With what? Reading? Levi, it's about time you got your head out of those books and paid attention to more important things... Like me! The whole town's talking about it. It's not right for a woman to read. Soon she starts getting ideas... Thinking." He threw my book in the mud and I glared at him while he smiled at me. I stooped down and grabbed my book, wiping the mud off it.

"You're simply primeval." He grinned, making me wonder if he even know what that word meant. He put an arm across my shoulder, continuing to grin.

"Why thank you, why don't we go to the tavern and talk about it?" I shrugged his shoulder off.

"No thank you, I have to go help my father."

"Heh that man needs all the help he can get."

"Don't you-" There was a sudden explosion like sound from the direction of my house and and Laxus burst out laughing. I fought the urge to slap him across the face and ran home.

When I finally reached the house I was more then happy not to see it on fire, or even worse in a million peices. I mean as far as I could see everything was alright... I hurried to my father's workshop and sighed with relief. The room was smoking but my father didn't seem hurt.

"Father are you okay?" I rushed towards him worriedly.

"Yes, yes I'm fine. I just forgot to add something to this darn thing and I just about got myself killed." I sighed.

"At least you're okay." He nodded and jumped up from the small stool he was sitting on.

"Ah yes and good news I just need to add that last thing and I think I'll be able to enter it into the contest!"

"Oh really? That's amazing!" He smiled.

"Righto it is, it would be even more amazing if I won! Would you mind helping me with this so I can get it finished before sundown?"

"Well why would you need to get it finished by then?"

"So I can get to the convention on time of course!"

"You're leaving tonight?"

"Oh right... I forgot to tell you..."

"It's alright."

"Are you sure? I feel so bad for having to leave you home..." Right, he had to leave me home because there was no room on the carriage for me with the invention on there. To be completely honest I didn't like that he was going alone. With him being so absent-minded and everything I just couldn't help but worry that he'd get lost.

"Yes, I'm sure! This will be good for you father."

"Oh great! I knew you'd understand."

"Let's finish this up then."

By sundown the creation was done and my father was of to the convention.

"Goodbye Levi! Stay safe!" He said, looking behind him to wave at me.

"You too father! I love you!"

"I love you too Levi!" He smiled back at me one more time before rushing off into with our horse Natsu. After he was gone I walked back into the house and munched on some bread absentmindedly, contemplating what I would do the next day. Deciding on going out and reading again, I went into my room and got ready for bed, hoping that I wouldn't have the dream again.
