Author's note ~ Hi everybody! I figured I would write a Fantasia chapter because I haven't seen it in any of the stories I've read on here. Enjoy!

As always Fairy Tail belongs to Hiro Mashima

Chapter 11

Fantasia Lights

~ Time skip 2 weeks ~ Fantasia Parade~

It was getting darker, the floats were lighting up and lining up, and everyone was running around doing last minute checks on everything. Erza could be seen yelling from the first float, trying to keep the children in order. It was Freed, Mirajane, Lisanna, and Evergreen's job tonight to keep the children in line.

Lucy was waiting on top of her float waiting for Laxus to show, watching Romeo and Wendy argue with each other about their float.

"Do I really have to wear this?" An irritated voice came from behind her, Lucy turned and saw Laxus standing there in the clothes Virgo had picked out. The clothes were similar to what he normally wore, just more elaborate for the parade. The top was a sleeveless black shirt, like normal, but it had a golden dragon embroidered into it, going across his massive chest, with light lacrimas set into the design. He was wearing a pair of black pants with two golden dragons embroidered down the sides, also with light lacrimas in the design.

Oh how I wish we weren't in front of the entire town and Guild right now... The things I would do to you... Lucy could feel a slight tingle between her thighs, and she squirmed around trying to get rid of the feeling.

"Oi Blondie! I thought you said I was the only pervert around here." Laxus called over to her with a sly grin.

"Shut it Pervert!"

"Takes one to know one. Are you sure you can work with me like that?"

"I've got no choice now, do I?" Lucy stood and her dress flowed around her, and she heard Laxus inhale sharply as she stood. Lucy was wearing a pale gold, strapless, empire waste dress with a sweetheart neckline. The top was studded with almost a hundred tiny light lacrimas, the light illuminating her wavy hair, which fell loose down her shoulders and back. The skirt was made of a gauze-like material that almost floated around her, the front just reaching her knees while the back floated down to the floor around her. Lucy looked at Laxus and gave him a coy grin.

"Either your pants are too tight, or you have really earned your nickname, Pervert."

Laxus turned away quickly and sat down on the edge of the float. Damn it Blondie. Don't you know how badly I want to take you to the nearest empty room when you dress like that? As he st there cooling down he saw the floats at the front start to move, and heard the cheer of the crowd as the children made their way down the path of the parade, signaling the start of the parade. He felt a light tap on his shoulder and turned to see Lucy holding out her hand for him.

"You ready?"

"Ready as ever." He took her hand and walked with her to the center of the float, avoiding the water that ringed the platform in the center. Laxus watched as Lucy took out five of her Zodiac keys, and as their float began to move she summoned them. There was a flash of light and before them stood Leo, Aries, Scorpio, Aquarius, and Libra.

"Everyone ready? Do you remember what you have to do?" The spirits nodded and Aquarius made a remark about Lucy getting a boyfriend as they all got into place. Lucy took his hand and gave it a squeeze as the crowd let out a cheer at the sight of them, it was now or never.

"Gravity Change!" Instantly everyone but Libra, who was on the platform, started to float. Laxus watched Lucy focus her magic and she produced a soft golden aura around her. He looked around and saw all her spirits had auras around them too. Leo's was a bright yellow, Aries's was a soft pink, Scorpio's was a flaming red, Aquarius's was a bright blue, and Libra's was a deep green. He concentrated and soon small bolts of lightning were racing across his body.

"Okay, now Aquarius!' At Lucy's signal the water that was on the float began to swirl into the air in intricate patterns around them and above the crowd. The crowd gasped in amazement as the marble sized light lacrimas in the water started to light up, looking like tiny stars.

Laxus watched from mid-air as Scorpio took Aquarius's hand and began to slowly dance in the air, and he looked over and saw Leo do the same with Aries. He turned to Lucy and held out his hand. "Shall we?"

"Of course." She took his hand and started to dance the dance they've spent the last week practicing. As they danced above the float Laxus let some of his magic flow out, leaving trails of sparks where he had been. He heard the crowd gasp as Leo made the lacrimas pulse in different colors, but his attention was on his partner. Lucy seems so happy right now. Her nickname across the kingdom is true, she really is the Light of Fairy Tail. He took her hand and twirled her around, sending out sparks and causing the crowd to cheer.

"We are getting close to the end. Are you ready?"

"Yes. Leo, Aquarius now!" The water that had been swirling around the crowd went into the air above them, the lacrimas shining brighter with the help of Leo, and formed the symbol of Fairy Tail. Laxus then held his hands high above his head, sending sparks into the water. The crowd watched in awe as the sparks hit a lacrima, changing its color, bouncing off and hitting another, repeating the process. The effect was stunning, the Symbol was shining so brightly, glittering with every color imaginable.

"Okay, now Aquarius! Libra get ready!" Laxus watched as the water rose higher into the sky, then exploded. "Gravity Change!" He watched as the lacrimas fell in slow motion into the cheering crowd. They look like multicolored falling stars. He looked over and saw Lucy smiling in the soft light.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" She spoke softly.

"Yes, it truly is. You have so much power to be able to pull this off. Five Zodiacs at once, that's amazing."

Lucy grinned at him. "No, seven Zodiacs is amazing, five is pretty easy now. I believe it's time to end this show." She nodded to her spirits, and one by one they disappeared, and as Libra left they landed lightly on the platform. Lucy waved to the crowd, and still holding Laxus's hand she bowed, dragging him along with her.

As they neared the storage area for the floats he remembered Erza's warning, his two weeks were up. Lucy was standing there, in the dimming lights of the float and the lights on her dress, just gazing at him. When she realized she was caught she tried to turn away, and he saw the blush creeping up her cheeks.

"I heard everything that you told Erza the other day." Laxus whispered to her softly, and heard her gasp. "I remember the few weeks after that happened. I would have come back sooner but I knew that you needed time after everything that happened. If I had known about your feelings for me I would have come back sooner. Hell, I wouldn't have left you after you got out of the hospital. In fact, I don't want to leave you... ever." Lucy turned to face him and he saw a few tears trying to escape her warm brown eyes.

"Laxus, working on this float has been almost like a dream, and we've gotten closer because of it. You can have any girl, so why me?"

"Blondie, listen to me, because I'm only going to say this once. I don't want any girl because they will never be you, and you are the only girl I want. I have loved you for so long I can't stand it anymore. I want to be next to you, through your tears and your smiles. You are the only one I want to be with, even if it's only for a day, a month, a year, or the rest of our lives. All I'm asking for is a chance, so will you giv-"

Laxus was cut off by Lucy's lips melting into his. He pulled her closer, wrapping his arms around her, but she moaned lightly and pulled away.

"What are you doing?" He asked with a light laugh.

"Unless you want the entire Guild to know about us right..." Lucy trailed off as she realized they had made it into the storage area, and that some of the Guild members were grouped around them with amused smiles.

"Well its about damn time!" Gray yelled out from the crowd, followed by wolf whistles.

"Hey what's going on here?" Someone pushed their way through to the front and Laxus saw Erza emerge from the crowd. She gave him a curt nod and turned around. "Hey! Don't we have a party to start?" The crowd cheered and made its way to the Guild hall.

Lucy looked up at Laxus. "Are we going?" He nodded and she took his hand and made their way to the Guild.

~ Time skip six hours ~ After the party~

Laxus looked around the Guild, most of the members had either passed out from drinking or from brawling. He looked down and saw Lucy curled into his side, and he gently shook her awake.

"Do you want to go back to your apartment?"

She looked up at him with sleepy eyes, nodded and started to get up.

"Do you need help?"

"Nuuhhh... I can walk... I think..." She tried to walk and stumbled into someone. He reached out and grabbed her before she could face plant on the floor. "Ooohhhh... I guess I can't walk..." Lucy let out a light giggle.

"Here, take my arm and I'll walk you home." Lucy took his arm and they made their way through town in silence. After a few minutes they reached her apartment. Something didn't smell quite right and it had Laxus on edge.

She turned to him, and standing on her toes she lightly kissed his cheek. "Thank you for walking me home."

"I'm guessing it's too soon for me to stay over?" He couldn't get over the feeling that something was wrong.

"Yeah... I'm drunk so it wouldn't be any fun." Lucy winked and went into her apartment. He heard the soft click of the lock as she closed the door. As Laxus stood there trying to figure out what had him on edge he heard a muffled scream and a crash from Lucy's apartment.
