"How about this one?" Lucy chirped as she came out of the dressing room, spinning in the sleeveless number, the billing poofy skirt flying around her gracefully.

Natsu looked up with a smile, his eyes full of warmth. "This is the best one yet."

"Lu-chan, you look so pretty!" Levy smiled. Wendy and Charle nodded in agreement.

"Although you should make the bridal veil shorter, it doesn't look very good like that," the white cat remarked.

"I guess you're right Charle." Lucy held up the price tag and winced. "I love this dress, but it's the priciest out of all the ones I've tried on."

"Don't worry, we can help you pay for it," Erza said warmly.

"It's fine Erza! You guys don't have to do that! I'll just buy a cheaper one, or try to get a discount..."

"No, we insist," Levy piped in.

"We can't let you walk down the isle in anything else!" Mira agreed

Lucy looked down, blushing lightly. " You guys are amazing," Lucy began to tear up. "I couldn't ask for better friends,"

They all joined together for a group hug; after a couple seconds Lucy pulled away.

"Now, we just have to get Natsu's suit adjusted, and figure out our food situation."

"I can handle the food," Mirajane offered.

"That's great! Your cooking is always amazing Mirajane!" Lucy bubbled.

"Now all we really have to worry about is whether Natsu has gotten a ring yet," Charle smirked.

"Oh I have," Natsu lied, "I just don't want to show anyone yet."

"Oh Natsu," Lucy didn't catch the lie and walked over and planted a kiss on her fiance's cheek.

Natsu smiled, but the look in his eyes was pained. Crap! How am supposed to buy a ring when I can barely afford a veil?
