Author's note: Ok, I got a request last chapter for an intermission. I wasn't planning one but the request gave me the idea of showing gang after that big scene. Well, here it is!
And there's a hint of Jerza in this chapter, te hee! Also, since 3 chapters of Fairy Tail came out, what the hell, I'll release a new chapter and release chapter 11 next week

(Please note: I don't own fairy tail and beauty and the beast)

Chapter 10: Intermission

The curtian fell on the stage and the house lights began to glow. People were starting to get use to the sudden change.

"Ladies and Gentlemen," said Makarov over the speaker "We will be taking a short intermission so the cast have some time to relax." People began to get up from their seats and check out the Fairy Tail shop so they could buy some Fairy Tail items.

Levy was back stage sitting on a wooden box and began to remove the flat shoes she was wearing and rubbed her foot. They were aching in those shoes.

"LEVY!" two familliar voices screamed. She looked up only to see Jet and Droy making their way over to the young girl.

"Hey guys," Levy replied. They sat down next to her and started hugging the young bookworm.

"You're amazing!" Jet screamed.

"The crowd loves you!" Droy said cheerfully.

"T-thanks guys." Levy said uneasily.

"What's wrong?" Jet asked with concern.

"N-Nothing." replied Levy "I'm going to find Lu-chan, I need to speak with her." Levy soon got up and left the room to find Lucy. On her way, she past by Erza making out heavily with a hooded figure. Levy figured the hooded man was this Jellal guy she heard so much about. Eventually, Levy found Lucy who was back stage chatting with Natsu.

"Hey, Lu-chan." Levy said.

"Hi Levy!" Lucy said happily.

"Lu-chan, can we talk? It's important." Lucy looked at Levy with concern.

"Sure Levy." Lucy said. They walked to a private room in the guild and shut the door.

"What's wrong?" Lucy asked. Levy fell back onto a chair in the room.

"I-I think I'm in love with Gajeel!" Levy blurted out. Lucy looked at her blue haired friend, stunned. She thought Levy just had a simple crush on Gajeel, nothing like this.

"A-are you sure?" Lucy asked.

"This play is making me realize feelings I never knew I had for him!" Levy cried "I mean, yes, I do have a crush on him, but spending all this time with him these past few months; I really fell hard for him. That look on his face when I came down the stairs for the dance scene, I never saw him like that before in my entire life! It was like he completely forgot how to breathe!" She put her head in her hands at that moment. "What am I going to do Lu-Chan?" Lucy walked over to her love-sick friend and sat down with her, patting her on the back.

"I admit it Levy," Lucy began "I saw the way he's been looking at you these past few months, it's obvious he feels the same as you. Maybe; after the play, you should confess how you feel." Levy looked at Lucy that moment, Wide-eyed with shock.

"A-are you nuts?!" Levy screeched "What if he doesn't feel the same as me?! He'll probably think I was joking and laugh it off."

"You don't know until you try." Lucy reminded her. Levy felt that Lucy was right, she didn't know unless she tried. If worse comes to worse, her and Gajeel will just move past it like it never happened.

"O-ok." Breathed Levy "I'll tell him at the after-party, when were alone."

Meanwhile, Gajeel was back stage in his normal form; eating iron so he could refuel for the rest of the play. What was up with me during the dance scene with the shrimp? He questioned himself My heart wouldn't stop pounding like that. Hell shrimp; what are you doing to me? At that moment, PantherLilly walked over to the Iron Dragon Slayer and sat down with him.

"Good job out there Gajeel," PantherLilly complimented "You and Levy are killing it out there!"

"Thanks Lilly." The iron dragon slayer replied solemnly.

"What's eating you?" asked Lilly.

"The shrimp. I don't know, it's like every time I see her, my heart is ready to come out of my freaking chest! When I saw her in that ball gown, I-I don't know, I just wanted to hold her forever when we were dancing. I didn't even want that moment to end! I don't know what it is Lilly. What do I do? This could ruin the show!" Lilly smiled when he heard Gajeel say this, it was about damn time the man admitted his feelings for Levy.

"You're in love Gajeel." Lilly replied. Gajeel looked at his Exceed companion with questioning eyes. Him? The tough Iron Dragon Slayer in love? Was that even possible?

"She wouldn't want someone like me." Gajeel moped "I pinned her and her two mindless drones to a tree in the middle of the park for Mavis's sake!"

"But she forgave you." Lilly pointed out. Gajeel looked at the cat, wondering where he was going. "Just tell her how you feel. I wouldn't be surprised if she feels the same. Trust me, during your fight with Sting and Rogue, when you caught Rogue; she was so happy, she was hugging me to the point I couldn't breathe! It's obvious she loves you as well. The play brought out those feelings more then you expected."

"Speaking of the play," Gajeel interrupted "why is the freaking intermission in the middle of the scene where they find out I do exist?"

"Don't know." Shrugged Lilly "I guess it was to leave a cliff hanger." At that moment, the lights back stage began to flicker, a sign that the play was going to resume where it left off.

"Better get in place." Gajeel said. He then scarfed down the rest of the iron he had with him "See you on stage Lilly." Lilly nodded at Gajeel.

Levy suddenly noticed the flickering of the lights and gasped.

"I got to get going!" she screamed "This is going to be a very big scene! It has to be perfect!" Levy thanked Lucy again for her advice and ran out the room onto the stage where she last stood. Laxus was already in position and helping a few people with remembering their spots.

"Ready?" he whispered to Levy. Levy nodded.

"By the way," he added "Good job so far, you're freaking killing it!"

"Hey," she said "look who's talking; Mr. Dragon Hunter." Laxus chuckled at the little nick name and got into position, at that moment, the curtains began to rise. It was time to resume the story.
