Over and out, I.

It was a bright sunny day in Magnolia. The guild was peaceful and everyone was going about their own work. Lucy and Levy chit-chatted at the guild bar. Mira listened in on their conversation whilst serving Erza some strawberry cake. Make note, it was a five layered strawberry cake. Cana joined the girls at the bar with a barrel of beer right next to her. Happy was flying around with a fish in his mouth. Wendy and Carla were busy talking to Romeo. Team Raijinshū stood near the request board, trying to find a good request for them to do.

Levy, in mid-conversation, asks," Lu-chan, where are Natsu and Gray? I didn't see them come in today."

"Why would I know where Natsu is?" replies Lucy nonchalantly. Mira smirked at how Lucy only considered answering only about Natsu.

"Why wouldn't you know? You guys are oh-so-close anyways."

Lucy blushed and was about to say something but was interrupted by a loud crash, followed by another thud. Followed by shouts and a stream of curses. You guessed it. Natsu and Gray had gotten into another brawl.

"I'm so gonna win this one."

"Oh yeah? FLAME BRAIN"

"ICE PRINCESS"

"SQUINTY EYES"

"DROOPY EYES"

Lucy face palmed. "Well, Levy now you know where they are."

"Haha, maybe I shouldn't have asked." Levy said, sweat dropping at the commotion they were making.

The fight continued with them going all over the guild. And soon the two idiots began throwing things at each other. Bottles, barrels and what not. Erza was happily eating her cake and hadn't noticed the two. Before she could take another bite, Natsu had flung a chair at Gray, who dodged it. The chair had landed spot on her cake and been smothered by the chair's impact. Well, you can imagine what happened next. "Next time, I won't be so easy on you guys" said Titania, glowering at Natsu and Gray.

Kneeling down on the ground, the two boys with bruised faces, replied "Aye Sir!"

Just then Lucy strolled up to them. She sat down on the table next to the boys and began to complain about how she doesn't have money to pay rent this month.

"We haven't gone on a big paying mission in so long. How am I supposed to pay my rent now?"

Beaming, Erza showed Lucy a mission flyer. "I believe this solves your problem, Lucy."

Lucy took the flyer from Erza's hands and read it.

"Well it says that we guys are supposed to help arrange a huge carnival in the city of Novatia."

Happy landed on Natsu's shoulder, as he snatched the flyer from Lucy. Happy exclaimed, "2,000,000 jewels just for a carnival!"

Gray said, "Well, why not go ahead and do it. All of us need the cash anyways."

*Skip to arrival at Novatia*

The four mages with their exceed were escorted to the Town Hall. From the building a plump, short moustached man emerged. He walked up to them and a grin broke out on his face.

"You guys must be from Fairy Tail. We've been waiting for your arrival."

They smiled awkwardly as they were confused as to who he was. The man realized and said, "Oh! Where are my manners? I'm Novatia's mayor, Julio Mckinney."

Erza smiled and introduced all of them.

Lucy stated, "I believe if we get on with job right now, it'd be easier for everyone."

"Yes and before you begin, I'd like to inform you that there will be a dance ball on the last day of the carnival so I wish for you guys to attend it as well," said Julio.

Erza and Lucy grinned at each other. And so the job began. The boys worked extremely hard as they had to do most of the heavy work. Finally everything for the carnival was set up. When they finished, the people of the town cheered for them and Julio reminded them about the ball. Erza had decided to go with Gray which meant Lucy had to go with Natsu. Happy had also found another exceed in the town that he could go with.

Lucy was extremely excited. She'd been to several balls at the Heartfilia mansion but they'd be nothing compared to the one that she was going to go to now. She was glowing with ecstasy. On the other hand, Natsu looked like he was gonna die. He knew how much Lucy was looking forward to this and he knew that Erza would kill him for upsetting her but there was one teeny tiny issue. Natsu had no idea how to dance. Obviously he didn't really care much about going to the ball and looking like a fool but seeing Lucy sad about not having someone to dance with was what killed him inside. He didn't know what to do.

*On the day of the ball*

"Lucy hurry up and get dressed. What are you even waiting for?" said Erza.

She walked into the room Lucy was sitting in, only to see a scowl on her face.

"Hey, what's wrong?" asked Erza, soothingly.

Lucy replied, "I haven't seen Natsu all day. What if he doesn't show up?"

Erza clenched her fist and angrily said, "He's so gonna get it if he doesn't. So put a smile back on your face and get your dress on."

Lucy smiled and thought to herself, 'She's right. Nothing's going to happen if I just mope around. Natsu will come.'

Well, that's what Lucy thought but now she was at the ball all alone. She sat near the food table in her gorgeous pink dress with a scowl on her face. She'd asked Gray about Natsu but he just shrugged and said that he hadn't seen him all day too. Lucy sighed. She had been looking forward to this a lot and now it was ruined. At least her friends were having fun.

"The last dance of the night will begin in five minutes so get in position everyone," announced Julio in his booming voice.

Lucy was just going to get up and leave when the doors of the ball room flung open. Natsu walked right in with his handsome grin. He was dressed in a black suit with his signature scarf. He had a bouquet of roses in one hand and was looking around for Lucy. Lucy was dumbstruck. Natsu finally found where Lucy was, standing in a beautiful pink ball gown.

Natsu scratched his head and said, "Sorry I'm late?" He offered her the flowers which she gladly accepted. He extended a hand and said, "May I have this dance, milady?"

Lucy beamed and took his hand. She chastised him asking where he'd been. Natsu responded, "Well, I didn't know how to dance and I knew you were looking forward to this a lot. So I ran off to find help. Luckily I found a lady who taught me some basics for the dance and I've been practicing all day. I wanted this to be special to you, Luce."

"Natsu…" She hugged him tightly, his arms snaking around her waist. Erza, Gray and Happy saw this and were smirking off in the distance. They knew about this all along.

And so the dance began. Natsu and Lucy swayed slowly to the beat and at the end of the dance he kissed her softly.

And that was the fourth time she felt his love.
