"You want to make sure you get all the lumps out." Jude said. He made a special appearance at Lucy's school and was giving a demonstration of his baking.

"Hey, can I borrow a phone? My battery is about to die." Levy asked.

"Take mine." Lucy said as she handed her phone to Levy. Everyone appeared to be enjoying the class. Everyone except for Taylor of course.

"This is utterly ridiculous. Why would I want to cook this in the first place?" Taylor said. "I can just have my chef do all my cooking for me."

"Be sure you stir it up at the right speed." Jude said. "You want to be careful not too much spills out."

"And ruin my outfit? As if!" Taylor said. She seems to be the only one that isn't really enjoying this class and didn't want to learn anything from it. She stepped off to the side and made a phone call. Lucy was the only one that noticed and just knew she was up to something."

"Lucy, can you take this to the school's fridge in the cafeteria?" Jude asked as he handed a bowl of batter. "It needs to sit there for a while.

"Sure, Dad." Lucy said as she took the batter and headed out the class. When she was on her way, Stella flew out and wanted a taste of it.

"That sure looks good." Stella said as she tried to get a taste, but Lucy kept it away from her knowing there wouldn't be enough for the rest. Before they could do anything about it, an alarm suddenly went off.

"Is that the fire alarm?" Lucy questioned. Everyone was exiting the classes and wondered what it was about. When Taylor passed Lucy, she gave her a smug look.

"I hope it's just a drill." Jude said, but Lucy had her suspicions that there was something else going on. The fire department actually showed up. When there was no emergency, Macao and the chief of the fire department was giving everyone a lecture about it.

"So, someone decided that it would be funny to call the fire department when there is no fire." Macao said. "Let me remind you all about something important. False alarms are NOT a joke. It's a serious offense to the brave firefighters. If they're here dealing with a fake emergency, there could be a real emergencies where people really need their help. Does anyone like to confess?" Everyone was staying silent for none of them did it. Lucy had an idea who it really was.

"I'm sure it was Taylor. I saw her make a phone call." Lucy whispered to Levy and Erza.

"That's not really proof. Besides, she'll just use her father as a threat to get out of trouble as usual." Erza said.

"Excuse me, Principle Conbolt. Someone left the classroom earlier. It must have been her who made the call." Taylor claimed.

"Really? Who?" Macao asked.

"Let's see if she'll actually confess, Lucy Heartfilia." Taylor said as she was putting all the blame on her.

"Lucy... Do you have something to say to the chief?" Macao said.

"That brat! She's lying! I didn't do it!" Lucy said, but he wasn't buying it.

"Sir, it couldn't have been Lucy." Natsu defended. "Why would she interrupt her own father's lesson?"

"Plus, I had her phone. She couldn't have called anyone." Levy said.

"She also couldn't have done it because she couldn't have made the call in the short time between her leaving and the fire alarm." Erza said. It looked like their defense was working.

"Mr. Conbolt, I do have to go. I'll trust you to handle this." The chief said as he left the place. Macao still wasn't happy with what one person in the class did. Lucy just knew it had to be Lucy.

"I'm not letting her have her way." Lucy said. She was about to say something, but Natsu stopped her.

"Wait, Lucy. We don't know for certain it was Taylor." Natsu whispered. "Even if it was, she probably make it look like you're the bad guy."

"He's right. Let's not stoop to her level." Levy said.

"Well, since no one wants to confess their mistake, I'm assigning everyone to clean up duty." Macao claimed with everyone groaning for this. It's not fair to those who didn't do anything.

"Excuse me?! I don't think my daddy is going to like that I'm being punished for something I didn't do." Taylor said as she threatened to give her father a call. She knew that would get to him and it did.

"Miss Allard, you're off the hook." Macao said. Everyone groaned even more since Taylor managed to get out of it. They all had no choice but to just go with it.

"I don't believe this!" Erza said as she and Levy were upset with Taylor.

"I know. Natsu breathed in my ear." Lucy said with her being joyful. So missing the point. Since Taylor got out of cleaning, she just enjoyed being on her phone and enjoyed seeing everyone else miserable. She didn't seem to care at all. Lucy and her friends knew it had to be her and the fire alarm, but only one person can get the truth.

"Hey, Natsu. She'll tell you the truth. See if she really did it." Erza said.

"Gladly." Natsu said as thought this was unfair to everyone. He walked right over to her.

"Natsu!" Taylor called as she hugged him.

"Taylor, off." Natsu said as he pushed her off. "I want the truth, Taylor. Were you the one that called the fire department?"

"Of course it was me. So?" Taylor said as she acted like it wasn't a big deal.

"And it doesn't bother you that everyone is being punished?" Natsu said.

"Why would it? I did them a favor since they all liked getting dirty with that stupid baking." Taylor said. "How is it any different?"

"It's very different!" Natsu said with frustration. "Getting dirty while you're baking is fine. It's not fine that everyone is getting punished for what you did." Natsu knew Taylor wasn't the nicest person around. He's put up with it before, but not anymore. "Taylor, how long have we been friends?"

"Forever, of course." Taylor said in a flirty-tone.

"Well, I don't want to be friends with someone who treats people this way. You've got to be nice!" Natsu said.

"Nice?" Taylor questioned like she didn't know what that meant.

"Nice. You know, treat people the way you wanted to be treated. It's not that hard." Natsu said as he turned away from her. That had Taylor facing a dilemma. If she wants to keep Natsu around, she has to be nice to the people she doesn't like, and that's just about everyone.

...

Taylor

After school, Taylor just went straight home. All she did was just sit in her room and pondered what she was going to do. She doesn't want to lose Natsu, but she actually has to be nice to people.

"Is there something wrong, Madam Taylor?" Her butler asked. "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"It's awful, Wad!" Taylor cried.

"It's Juan." The butler corrected.

"Natsu said he won't be my friend unless I'm actually nice to people!" Taylor cried. "I don't know what to do! I wouldn't even know how to be her nice!"

"Perhaps I can help mademoiselle." Juan offered. "I could teach you how to be nice to others." He was offering, but Taylor wasn't convinced. "Well, I do have someone who might be able to help. I'm sure you remember Mr. Stuffy!" He said as he handed her a stuffed yellow bear with black buttons for eyes and a yellow belly. Taylor remembered that toy well as it helped her get through the best and worst moments of her life.

"Yes!" Taylor cheered as she hugged the toy like any child would. "Mr. Stuffy, you've always been there!"

"I'm always here for you, Taylor. I can help you." Juan said in a squeaky voice to pretend the bear was talking. "I think I have an idea that can show you're nice."

...

Lucy's Room

As for Lucy, she invited Juvia, Cana, Lisanna, Levy, and Erza over to her house. They acted like fashion models and saw all the creative activities that Lucy was working on.

"Lucy, you are so creative. These designs of yours are amazing." Juvia said.

"Not to mention these stories. They're pretty good." Cana said.

"I don't know about that, but I'm glad you guys really like it." Lucy said. All five of them were enjoying themselves until Lisanna's phone went off.

"Weird..." Lisanna said as she looked at her phone. "I just got an invite from Taylor to a party she's holding." That did sound really weird. It wasn't just her. Juvia, Cana, Levy, and Erza all got an invite as well.

"What is she up to? Why would she invite us to a party when she hates almost everyone?" Erza said.

"Maybe she feels bad about what happened at school." Juvia said. All of them looked at her like that was the dumbest idea ever. "I know, but what else could it be?"

"Knowing her, it has to be some sort of trick." Lucy said. "Besides, I haven't gotten an invite." The truth was that Taylor was hesitant. Lucy was the last person she wanted to invite, but Juan used Mr. Stuffy to convince her to do it. When Lucy's phone went off, she saw she was invited. "I'm invited? Well, no way I'm going."

"Hey, Gajeel texted me. Natsu's going." Levy said. That caused Lucy to quickly change her mind.

"Well... I guess I could go, but I have to disinfect my phone first." Lucy said. She just isn't too sure Taylor is doing this out of whatever kindness she does have in her black heart.

...

The Allard Hotel

Taylor invited everyone in her school to a party. She claims its her way of making up for what happened at school, but she felt like she was being forced to do this. She didn't like that all she saw as a loser was in her hotel.

"Mademoiselle, perhaps you should go down and greet everyone." Juan said.

"Greet them?" Taylor questioned.

"Just say things like "hello, welcome, glad you could make it" and maybe throw in a handshake." Juan suggested.

"Actually touch them?!" Taylor said as she thought that was so disgusting. She was hesitant to do that, but she saw Natsu come in with Gray, Lucy, and her friends. She knew she had to do it to please Natsu.

"Taylor, I think you should." Juan said pretending to be Mr. Stuffy, but she was afraid someone would see that.

"Okay! Just put that way John!" Taylor said as she pushed the toy out of sight. She took a deep breath and forced herself to do it. As for Lucy, she still couldn't believe that Taylor invited their whole class for a party.

"I'm still not buying this is all for real. This is Taylor we're talking about." Lucy said with disbelief.

"I know Taylor might seem a little rotten, but I've known her since we've been kids." Natsu said. "She can be nice. She just doesn't show it that often." Natsu might think Taylor's nice, but Lucy isn't so sure.

"Hi. Glad you could make it." Taylor said as she was greeting everyone. She detested all of it, but she forced herself to go through all of it. She kept greeting people until she came to Lucy. The two of them were unsure what to do. Taylor saw Juan using Mr. Stuffy to encourage her. That's why she held out her hand for a handshake. Lucy didn't want to, but she didn't want Natsu to think she's an awful person. That's why she took the handshake. "Glad you could make it."

"Thank you for inviting me." Lucy said. As soon as they did that, they pulled away from each other.

"We should have gotten video." Erza laughed.

"Don't rub it in." Lucy said. The party was on now.

...

Black Wizard

"A party hosted by my favorite nasty girl... The chance for some despair is strong." Black Wizard said. He knew it was only a matter of time until someone feels misery, especially because of Taylor. He wasn't going to miss this chance as he took an etherious in his hand and filled it with dark power. "Flyaway, my little etherious. Be ready to strike!" Being the only one he likes Taylor's nasty attitude, he knows a new villain will be formed soon.

...

Taylor's Party

Taylor was pulling out all the stops. There was a DJ, a ball pit, and a buffet all in the hotel's restaurant. Everyone was having a great time, but Taylor was hardly having any at her own party.

"Miss Taylor, perhaps you should check to see if everyone is having a great time." Juan suggested.

"Do I have to?" Taylor complained.

"Yes, you do." "Mr. Stuffy" claimed. Taylor didn't like that, but she put up with it. She walked over to one of her guests with her smashing her hands on the counter.

"Having a wonderful time?" Taylor practically groaned. He confirmed he did and just walked away. Taylor looked towards Natsu and he seemed pleased with her behavior.

"This whole thing is just an act." Lucy told the girls as she could see what Taylor was really doing. "She's only doing this to try and please Natsu."

"Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?" Levy said with her and Erza chuckling. While the party was going on, the etherious made its way in. All that it had to do was wait until someone felt negative emotions.

"Excuse me, Taylor." Lisanna said as she was being brave. "Where's the ice?" She asked as she held out a glass.

"I don't know. Go find it yourself." Taylor said. She succeeded in getting Lisanna to feel bad. The etherious flew its way to her, but Taylor saw Mr. Stuffy shaking his head and that Natsu was watching. "I mean... Let me get that." She took the glass and got Lisanna to feel better with the etherious flying off.

...

Black Wizard

"What happened? Where did those negative feelings go?" Black Wizard questioned as this did not go the way he thought.

...

Taylor

"Here!" Taylor said as she handed a glass filled with ice back to Lisanna. She hated it. She hates every moment of this, but she's willing to put it up to keep Natsu around. Everyone else was having a great time. Hibiki walked over to the D.J. and put in a request. Having no problem with it, he started to slow the music down with everyone slow dancing. Hibiki was actually being brave enough to walk over to Taylor and ask her to dance.

"Do you want to dance, Taylor?" Hibiki asked.

"Why would I?" Taylor said with disapproval. That appeared to have hurt Hibiki with the etherious being drawn in. However, she could see Natsu and Mr. Stuffy telling her to rethink what she said. "I know why. You're a great guy, Hibiki." She swallowed her pride and put up with it as she actually danced with him. That caused the etherious to back off.

...

Black Wizard

"What's going on?! Where's that nasty girl I can rely on?!" Black Wizard questioned as he couldn't comprehend what was happening.

...

The Party

Taylor felt like she was going to be sick dancing with Hibiki. Meanwhile, since Natsu was up for grabs, it was Lucy's chance. Knowing she wouldn't be brave enough to do it on her own, Erza and Levy gave Lucy a push in his direction and got his attention.

"Hey, Lucy. Wanna dance?" Natsu asked.

"Dance?! I... I..." Lucy stuttered as she didn't know what to say. Natsu just went with it as she grabbed her hand, placed it on his shoulder, put his hand around her waist, and took her other hand in his. The two of them danced around and Lucy felt like her dream was coming true. All Taylor did was just dance with Hibiki and watch.

"See? Taylor is capable of being nice. She just needed to put in a little effort." Natsu said. Lucy still wasn't sure if Taylor was capable of being nice, but she won't let it ruin her moment with Natsu. Erza and Levy helped out some more. As they danced around with Gajeel and Jellal, they got close enough to those two to get Lucy have both hands around his neck and have Natsu place both his hands on her hips. Natsu didn't get it, but he went with it as he placed his head on her shoulder. Lucy felt like she was at her happiest as her face turned red. She enjoyed the moment as she rested her head against him and continued to dance together.

"What?!" Taylor said as she could see what was happening and didn't like it. "That's it! Natsu should be dancing with me!" She pushed Hibiki away and went to put a stop to this.

"Mademoiselle, I wouldn't." Juan said as he tried to stop her.

"Move it!" Taylor ordered.

"Taylor, don't be selfish." Juan said with Mr. Stuffy and ended up showing it to everyone.

"Taylor still has a teddy bear?!" Gajeel said. A lot of people couldn't stop themselves from laughing. Taylor's reached her limit. She pushed Juan into the kitchen and is done being nice.

"I can't believe you! How dare you humiliate me like that!" Taylor said.

"I was only trying to help." Juan said.

"I don't need your help Jerry!" Taylor claimed.

"It's Juan."

"Who cares what your name is?! You're fired!" Taylor shouted and just stormed out with Juan feeling miserable.

"Perfect! I knew I could count on you!" Black Wizard claimed as he had the etherious fly in and entered Mr. Stuffy and put Juan under his control. "Debear, I'm Black Wizard. You were just trying to teach someone to be nice. If she won't be nice, let's make everyone else nasty. Since I'm really the only good one, could you bring me the miraculous of Celestria and Salamondra?"

"Of course, monsieur." Juan agreed and became the newest villain. With a party going on, Debear was going to have his own fun. He smashed the door open and everyone looked to him. Debear was in a black tight suit with his eyes glowing green. He also had Mr. Stuffy black and controlling it like a puppet with strings connected to his fingers.

"Miss Taylor, I think you forgot the entertainment." Debear said. Knowing this was trouble, Natsu and Lucy quietly snuck away so they could transform.

"What are you talking about?" Taylor said. Debear had the bear move on its own. It made its way over and grabbed a hold of Hibiki. When it grabbed him, Hibiki's eyes started to glow green. Hibiki suddenly grabbed Taylor and started dancing with her. "What are you doing?!" Hibiki was being a little too rough with her. As she was tossed in the air, a whip came and pulled her out of there.

"Mind if we cut in!" Celestria said as she and Salamondra showed up with everyone excited.

"I actually do mind." Juan said as he had Hibiki tried to attack them. Salamondra went past him as Celestria got a hold of Hibiki.

"Celestria?" Hibiki said as he didn't know what was going on. Salamondra tried his staff, but Debear jumped out of the way and jumped over to the buffet table. Celestria grabbed her whip and was about to throw it, but Levy grabbed Celestria's hair and tossed her to the ground. She saw Levy was under the villain's control. Levy tried stepping on her, but Celestria grabbed her leg and pushed her down.

"Celestria, what's going on?" Levy said. Salamondra tried attacking Debear again, but he jumped over him and laughed at their shortcomings. Celestria tried figuring out what to do. She looked around and saw the bear running around the room and knew what was really going on as she saw Debear control it.

"Salamondra, we're focusing on the wrong target!" Celestria called. "Get the bear! That's got to be where the etherious is!" Salamondra understood. He looked around and saw it near the ballpit.

"I got it!" Salamondra said as he jumped at it, but it moved out of the way and caused him to crash into it.

"Can't win if you can't catch my toy." Debear taunted. Celestria tried following the strings, but she couldn't see where the bear was. Reaching for her whip, she got herself ready. Suddenly, Salamondra grabbed her arm.

"Salamondra?" Celestria questioned what he was doing until she saw the glowing green eyes. "Oh no!"

"Let's try playing with fire." Debear said.

"Dragon Fire!" Salamondra activated his power and was going to use it on her, but Taylor actually acted.

"Back off!" Taylor said as she grabbed Salamondra's tail and pulled him away. Celestria grabbed a hold of him and tossed him into the couch with it burning to ashes. She saw the bear let Salamondra go and tried running for it.

"What happened?" Salamondra questioned.

"Okay. I've had enough." Celestria said as she was ready to end this. "Open the Celestial Gate!" Celestria used her powers and got a pair of Cancer scissors, but the bear jumped in and grabbed them instead. "Hey!"

"You shouldn't play with scissors, Celestria." Debear taunted as he laughed. However, Taylor stepped in again and ripped the scissors out of the bear's hands.

"Neither should stuffed animals." Taylor said.

"Cut the strings!" Celestria said. Taylor grabbed the strings and used the scissors to cut the strings with Debear loosing control. With it not moving anymore, Taylor used the scissors and tore open the bear with the etherious flying out. "No more evildoing for you, little etherious." Celestria activated her whip and twirled it around. "Time to de-evillize!" She threw her whip and got a hold of it. "Gotcha! Bye-Bye, little guy." She said as she released it. "Miraculous Starlight!" Once she got the scissors back, she tossed them into the air and the stars fixed Mr. Stuffy and any mess that was caused. Juan was even turned back. "Thanks, Taylor. That was actually nice."

"Did you all hear that?! Celestria said I'm nice!" Taylor said. Perhaps Taylor does have what it takes. Celestria even held up her fist at Taylor and they actually pounded it.

"Thanks, Celestria. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have one more piece of the party to get through." Taylor said as she had something else in stored.

...

Black Wizard

"You may have won this time, Celestria, but there's always another day." Black Wizard claimed. "Everything might seem nice now, but I will soon have you feel despair."

...

Taylor's Party

"Now, let's see how all the macaroons turned out." Jude said. Taylor actually invited Mr. Heartfilia to come over and finish the lesson he had interrupted.

"It was really nice of you to invite Mr. Heartfilia, Taylor." Natsu said. "I'm glad to see you're made more of an effort to be nice."

"Thank you, Natsu. Does that mean we're still friends?" Taylor said.

"Yeah." Natsu claimed.

"Great!" Taylor cheered as she hugged Natsu. Mission accomplished for her.

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave since you fired me, Miss Taylor." Juan said as he was ready to leave.

"What are you talking about? You're not fired. I was just blowing off some steam." Taylor said. Juan was actually glad to hear that. Perhaps Taylor really does have what it takes to be nice. "Now, I can go back to being me." She said as she checked out all the macaroons. "Dumb. Ugly. Bland. Heartfilia, I don't even need to taste yours to know how awful they are." She said as she walked by and Lucy growled with anger. She knew things were too good to be true.

"Well, at least she proved she's willing to make an effort to be nice." Natsu said as he walked over to Lucy and Lucy couldn't stop grinning. "Mind if I have one?" He reached for one of Lucy's macaroons and had a taste. "Taylor doesn't know what she's talking about. These are great."

"Glad... Gla.. Glad you..." Lucy couldn't get her words together as she liked Natsu enjoyed it and actually had fun at the party. As for Taylor, perhaps she has what it takes to be permanently nice.
