Lucy sat tiredly in her desk. It had been a year since her fathers death and things were finally looking up for her. She had an amazing boyfriend as well as great friends, and not to mention Aquarius her mothers old friend who now watched over her. She had been getting over the horrific things she was put through in the years previous and has since gotten into a good college, which her boyfriend will also be attending in the coming year.

She may only be a senior in highschool now, but she feels like her life is pretty amazing.

The bell to her last class rang signaling the end of the day and she began to pack up her things. She planned on meeting Natsu later today which made her happy.

She sighed as she stepped into the warm spring air, happy that school is almost over. Summer would be arriving soon and that meant spending long nights with her boyfriend, shopping with her friends, driving to the mountains, or simple spending time with Aquarius. It all made her so happy.

Suddenly she could no longer feel the ground beneath her feet as she was lifted into a large white van. A small shriek of surprise escaped her and she attempted to break free from her capturer.

Although, to her surprise the people in the van were not evil men but instead all of her giggling friends with wide smiles on their faces. Erza was driving while the rest of the girls sat in the back with Lucy.

"What are you doing?!" Lucy giggled at the girls.

"Stalling" was Lisanna's reply.

"Shhhh we weren't supposed to tell her that!" Levy huffed in false anger.

"Juvia thinks we should stop talking otherwise Lucy might figure out what's going on," Juvia added.

"I agree" the red head driver began "and on another note, we are here!" She cheered before the doors were thrown open and Lucy was shoved out of the van.

She found herself standing in front of Fiore mall. One of the largest around.

Lucy gasped happily as she realized that they would be going shopping! "I realize we are going shopping. But what for?" Lucy asked the short girl beside her.

"Don't you remember? Gajeel asked Levy to Prom and she needs a dress!" Lisanna chirped.

Lucy remembered that quiet well actually. Gajeel decided to get all his friends from the football team and when halftime came they all held up signs that said "Prom Shrimp?" Levy was so excited that she cried. It was quiet the sight.

"Ok but why did you have to kidnap me? Why not levy?"

"Because we're going to get you a new dress. Not questions. Ok?" Erza cheered.

"Wait prom dress? But I'm not even going to prom and what about levy?! You guys are confusing me!" The blonde huffed before looking at Levy for help.

"Good!" She giggled. The other girls joined in as they made their way toward the mall arms intertwined.

Soon Lucy found herself standing in a dressing room pulling on casual dresses. She looked in the mirror at the one she currently had on. Levy had picked this one and it was obvious to tell. It was a flowy swing dress with intricate designs covering the entire thing. The sleeves reached her knuckles and flowed out in a bell shape. The sleeves had large oval cuts on the shoulders and had the same design as the dress. Over all it was cute, but certainly not her style. Most definitely Levy's though.

Lucy stepped out of the dressing room where her friends waited.

They all looked up and smiled. Before they could say anything though Lucy quickly looked at levy.

"You need to put this on! Like now!"

Minutes later Levy was in front of the group of girls, smile plastered on her face and the dress draped perfectly over her small frame.

"Get it." Erza commanded softly with a smile. Levy nodded happily and scurried back into her dressing room.

"Now come on Lucy! Go try on mine!" Lisanna beamed.

So Lucy stood back up with a grumble and headed back to the dressing room and pulled on the dress Lisanna had chosen.

It was a light lilac color. The top was covered in white lace all the way to her belly button, where the lilac material flared out and flowed softly ending at their thighs. At the top the lilac material ended a over her bust creating a sweetheart neckline but the white lace continued on until her neck creating small strap like things.

Once again this dress would look much better on Lisanna. It was even the wrong size causing her bust to show a bit more than wanted.

Lucy peeled off the dress and decided to put on Juvia's choice after telling her friends about the problem.

"Sorry Lis! It's way too small" she shouted lightly as she picked up the next one.

She picked up the simple dress. It was a strapless teal dress with a sweetheart neckline and a white Aztec design on the top. It was tight around the top but flowed towards the bottom. She slipped it on realizing that the color was just not flattering and would look way better on Juvia.

She stepped out of the room and gave it a twirl.

"That's Juvia's choice!" The girl chirped. "It's really pretty! I especially love the color!"

"You should have it then. I don't like the color." Lucy offered.

The blue haired girl shook her head. "No we're here for you,"

"That's too bad. I bet grey would love it,"

"It's Juvia's! Don't even think about taking it away like you tried to with me darling Grey! Give it to me!"

At that Lucy quick slipped the dress off and threw it to Juvia before scampering back into the dressing room.

Two more. She thought to her self.

The last two were hers and Erza's choices. She decided on leaving her own for last and putting Erza's on first. It was a simple long sleeved back dress with a tight top and a bottom that flared out. The edge of the bottom and the sleeves though had a sort of lace lining that made the whole thing pop even though it was simple. The sleeves reached just below her elbows and were tight to her arm.

Lucy opened the door and immediately her eyes fell upon a shocked Erza.

"That dress is gorgeous!" She beamed.

"Than you should..."

"I refuse! I will not buy a dress unless I know you are happy with yours!" Erza refused before Lucy could offer.

"Ok fine then. But once I find a dress you're trying this on wether you like it or not! And you too Lisanna!" Lucy demanded.

Lucy stood in shock at the dress before her. After trying on a few more she found one that stood out to her like gold in a river.

It was strapless with a sweetheart neckline. The whole thing was white with large red roses and leaves all over it. The top was tight and there was a thin black belt wrapped around her waist before it flared out into a flowy skirt.

"I think this is it you guys!" She cheered as she barged out of the dressing room. Various 'ohhhs' and 'ahhhhs' were heard as she spun around happily.

"Oh Lu! I love it on you!" Her small friend praised.

"I do too," Lucy giggled before turning to Erza and Lisanna " but now you two have to try on your dresses."

Hours later the girls are walking back to the van, bags in hand. Erza and Lisanna ended up getting dressed as well, and everyone got shoes to match their dress. After that they all went to get their nails done. Now they were taking Lucy back to her house for a make over.

When they arrived they hurried her into the house and sat her down on her bed. Lisanna and Juvia got to work curling her hair while Erza and Levy started on her makeup.

Once they were finished Lucy looked in the mirror and her perfectly curled hair and well done makeup.

"This is beautiful and all but... Why?" She asked Erza.

"You'll see soon," the red head responded.

By now it was eight and night and Lucy was surprised at how dark it was getting.

"Ok let's go!" Levy cheered as she grabbed Lucy's hand and pulled her down the stairs.

"Don't be gone too long crazy brats!" Aquarius called from somewhere in the house.

"I won't! Love you!" Lucy called back. A small 'ya ya' was heard before the girls shoved Lucy out the door and into the car.

They drove for a few minutes before stopping.

"Go get 'em tiger!" Levy cheered before pushing her out of the car and driving off.

"Wait!" Lucy yelled after them, but it was too late they were already gone.

Lucy turned back around to look at her surroundings.

Her eyes landed on a small candle sitting on the concrete in front of her. Curiosity got to her and she found herself following a trail of candles.

Soon she was led into the park until all of a sudden the candles ended.

She looked up only to gasp out of shock. There stood a pink haired teen. Dressed in a suit, holding a large bouquet of pink roses. At his feet were small candles spelling out the word 'PROM?'

YAAAAAAAA! Finally the end! I had so much fun writing this chapter like it honestly was the best. And I'm so glad to have finished my first story! Yaaaaa! Anyway thank you all so so much!

On a more serious note I have gotten a few reviews (yes more than one sadly) saying that the person has had similar experiences or that they have had the same thing happen to them as Lucy. This is 100 percent fictionaland I really hope that none of you have you face issues like this. If you do, know I am ALWAYS here to talk and that I feel that each and every one of you is important. Trust me, you are so much better than you tell yourself and you deserve much much better. If anyone at anytime needs to talk just please PM me. Like I said I'm always here to talk and it breaks my heart when I see that people are going through the exact same thing as Lucy. I just want to crawl through the screen and hug you so just pretend I'm hugging you right now. ... That was a good hug. Anyway, Trust me when I say things DO get better and people DO care!

On a lighter note... I am currently writing another story called The Things We Do For Love. So feel free to check that out. Once again thanks to everyone for supporting me and helping me finish this story. Love y'all so so much until next time! *hugs again*
