Laxus lived with his grandfather, after his father was deemed unfit to serve as Laxus's guardian. It had to do with him injecting something into his son as an experiment but no one knows what it was and was apparently harmless. However, if Laxus ever turns into a titan then everyone will know why. Also, Laxus's scar has nothing to do with his father. He got it while jumping on a trampoline and he accidentally scratched his eye on a tree branch when he was young.

Laxus' grandfather was also the principal at Fairy Tail High, and seemed to be joining into the party, which was held in his backyard since Laxus didn't want people in his basement, since that was his room.

Laxus had strung lanterns in between trees to light the place up, and he had even grilled some food to eat. The music wasn't loud enough to get neighbors angry, so everyone could talk over it without having to shout.

The party was going smoothly. The only complication so far was that Cana had brought beer. Laxus got rid of the beer, but when he came back out, Cana had more beer. Cana was unstoppable. No one could defeat her and her drinking tendencies.

Jellal stood near the house, at the back of the party. He felt extremely awkward, mostly because he had no idea what to do.

"Having a good time?" Laxus checked in on Jellal.

"Yeah," Jellal answered.

"Really? Cuz you don't seem to be doing anything," Laxus replied.

"I've never been to a party like this before," Jellal admitted. "Back at Tower of Heaven, I would have gotten detention for going to a party like this."

"Outside of school?" Laxus asked.

"Yeah," Jellal replied. "It sucked."

"Well, anyway," Laxus continued. "Maybe you should hop onto the dance floor."

"I can't dance," Jellal replied. "And I'd look like a fool dancing by myself."

"Ever heard of Billy Idol?" Laxus asked. "Or his song 'Dancing With Myself'? Well Billy Idol says in his song, 'Well, there's nothing to lose, and there's nothing to prove, well, dancin' with myself'."

"Yeah, I'm not going to listen to Billy Idol," Jellal replied.

"You can't just not listen to Billy Idol!" Laxus protested. He was about to continue when the gate to his backyard swung open.

"I'm all fired up!" Natsu shouted as he bursted into the backyard.

"Natsu," Lucy groaned as she flowed in behind him.

"Come on Lucy, let's dance!" Natsu grabbed Lucy's hand.

"Wait!" Lucy protested as Natsu dragged her towards the dance floor. Following behind Lucy and Natsu, was Gray, Juvia, Levy, and Erza.

"You invited Erza," Jellal squeaked out in a small voice.

"Yep," Laxus replied. "And there's your dance partner. Now go get her, tiger!"

Before Jellal could protest, Laxus pushed him towards Erza who was scanning the party as Juvia had dragged Gray to the dance floor, and Gajeel was talking to Levy. Jellal tripped on the grass and fell flat on his face right in front of Erza.

"Jellal!" Erza exclaimed at the sudden sight of a falling Jellal.

"Sorry," Jellal apologized as he pushed himself off the ground, his face full of grass. "I got pushed."

"Are you alright?" Erza asked, helping Jellal up.

"Yeah," Jellal replied. That left an awkward silence. Jellal glanced over his shoulder at Laxus, who was frantically trying to motion for him to ask Erza to dance. Erza wasn't noticing the scene that Laxus was making, so Jellal took the chance to follow through Laxus's advice, "So, uhm, Erza, d-do you wanna, I don't know, dance? I guess?"

Though Jellal couldn't see, Laxus was face-palming him for his beauty and grace at asking Erza to dance with him.

"Sure," Erza agreed, actually in shock because Jellal had actually asked her to dance.

As Jellal and Erza strode towards the dance floor, Laxus leaned up against his house and watched.

"I feel as though I've forgotten something," Laxus said to himself. "Eh, it's probably nothing."

Actually, it wasn't nothing. As soon as Jellal and Erza began to dance, Jellal felt as though he was on a merry-go-round in a tornado. Erza wasn't called the 'Dancing Demon' for nothing.

"Uh, Erza?" Lucy took a break from dancing with Natsu to get her friend's attention.

"What?" Erza broke her concentration and Jellal went spinning off into the bushes. "Oh! Jellal!"

Jellal woozily stood up in the bushes, his whole world spinning.

"Are you okay?" Erza asked Jellal as she rushed over.

"I'm fine I just-" Jellal was pretty good at riding spinning rides. However, he couldn't hold his stomach after dancing with the Dancing Demon. Jellal turned around and released the contents of his stomachs into Laxus's bushes.

"I don't think that's good for the bushes," Natsu said as he joined the crowd around the two.

"Oh right," Laxus said as Mirajane joined him by the house. "I forgot to put on the slow song. I also forgot that Erza was the Dancing Demon."

"How could you forget?" Mira asked Laxus. "She spun you into the gym wall during the dancing unit in gym!"

"I've tried to forget that," Laxus replied.

"Well, we'll have to try again," Mira sighed as she watched Jellal throw up. "It'll be harder now because they'll both be more reluctant."

"Eh," Laxus shrugged. "I bet that it'll take them a week."

"How much money are you putting on that bet?" Mira countered.

"Forty bucks," Laxus replied.

"I bet that it'll be over a month, and we'll have to meddle again to get them together," Mira betted.

"Alright. The bet's on."
