Chapter 24: Dance of Winter

Lucy's POV

The next thing I feel is warm hugs by the crew, and some slinging their arm over me. Even Gajeel gave me a small hug, must be Levy's doing.

After greeting all of the crew I feel Natsu sling his arm around me and drag me into his cabin. When we enter I sit down in one of his chairs scattered around the room. I still have the blanket around me saving me from the coldness of the outer world.

"Lucy..." Natsu mumbles.

My head then swishes around to face him ignoring his other things.

"Yes..." I stutter.

He then scratches the back of his head, so soon reveal a large untreated wound on is left arm.
I gasp and quickly run out the door hearing foot steps behind me.

"Wendy!" I shout.

The little blue headed girl came rushing out of her room.

"What is it Lucy!" She asked.

"Natsu has a large woun-" I was then forced to stop talking when a large hand was clamped over my mouth.

"Sorry Wendy, she's having issues and she's starting to see things" a voice like Natsu said.

This time I was lifted up and again was in Natsu's large cabin.

"What was that about!" He shouts starling me.

"But you need to be tr-"

"I don't need help!" He shouts again.

"Well now that's over, there is, well a dance tonight and the whole crew is wanting you to go, so will you?"

I just nod my head because I feel I can not speak, and I was right because I then fell onto the wooden floor feeling like my body is freezing into one large capsule.

I woke up to a warm atmosphere.

But it's the beginning of winter... I thought.

I move then to one side and felt something jerk up.
I could then see everything, it was all in black and white. But I then colors fill my eyes when I see a pink headed kid.

I sit up and give him a huge hug. I could also feel his heart beat faster and faster. I slowly let go of him but only to get a hug from him.

"I'm sorry..." He whispers into my ear.

"I'm sorry too." I say to him.

The hug is then released and five girls walk in, Levy, Juvia, Ezra, Wendy, and Mira and Juvia is holding a beautiful dress.

Natsu then walks out and the girls come and hug me to death.

"We got you this for tonight!" Juvia says clapping her hands together.

(Play music)

The dress was a silver blue wavy dress. With also some matching heels.

"I can't take this." I say.

"Yes you will Lucy... Now get ready it's almost time to go." Ezra says, and she was right I didn't see that they were all ready.

A few minutes of getting ready I step out into the snow with the other ladies.

"So why are we doing this?" I ask.

"Since we were gone we became more and more known about, so they're doing this for our return." Wendy says looking cute in her dress.

"Let's go before we are late." Levy says.

When we reach the place it's a beautiful mansion with green vines swirling up the walls.

As we all walk in I felt like Cinderella, Juvia looked like Ariel. Levy looked like Bell, Wendy looked like Alice, Ezra and Mira looked like Mulan and Merida. I felt like I was a Princess, I felt like we all were. When I looked around I saw that everyone had departed. I then walked down the stair case and watched as everyone stared at me.

Soon I was tapped on my shoulder, and when I turned around it was a little boy wearing a little tux.

"Um, will you dance with me?" He asked fiddling with his thumbs.

I smiled and nodded lifting him up and setting him down on my hip.

"Of corse I will." I said seeing his face light up.

I spun him around and around hearing him giggle once in a while. But when the song was done I settled him down on his feet only to find his father walking up to me.

"Thank you so much." The father said.

He then crouched down to his kid.

"How about you go find some of the other kids.."

"Okay!" The little boy shouted to then run off.

The man the stood up and took my hand and shook it.

"Again thank you, he just never had a mother, she died when he was born. And he's always been a Lady kid." The man said with a chuckle at the end.

But just those couple words brought tears to my eyes, that I then pulled the father into a hug.

"I'm so sorry that happen, I bring a prayer to you and always." I say back to him.

After a while they both left and I started to walk around once again.

Then I could hear a beautiful piano start to play and elegant song and it brought color into my life. I spun around and around until I bumped into someone.

"Oh my, I'm sorry." I then look up to see a tall man in a tux with the pinkest hair ever.

"Oi, Lucy there you are." He says with a toothy grin.

"Yup, can't leave yet." I say with a little chuckle.

"Well... Do you want to dance with me?" Natsu stutters.

I then take his hand and put it in mine as I drag him to the center of the ball room.

As I dance with him I see everyone join up with me... Juvia and Gray, Levy and Gajeel, Ezra and Jellal, and Mira and Laxus. After everything last year Laxus became part of Natsu's crew. However everyone give us the the glare and we all spin and end up with different partners. I then end up with Gray as my partner. Juvia and Gajeel and so on.

"This is fun, seeing you here." Gray said with a chuckle.

"Same to you..." I say to then spin off somewhere else.

After a night of dancing Natsu takes me out side into the snow. The snow like small stars falling out of a dark, endless abyss.

"It's so nice here tonight!" I said.

I run over to Natsu who looks like he is tired and pulled him into a hug.

"Thank y-" I was then cited off by a sharp pain in my stomach and I fell to the ground....out.

Natsu's POV

"Lucy!" I shout grabbing her and pulling her closer to me.

I look up at were the tragedy came from and it was... Rogue

"Why did you do that!!!" I shouted...

"Because..." He said.

Mwhahaha I'm evil I know, well sorry I didn't post last night cuz I had a school dance. And the reason I chose this song is because at the very beginning of my dance I requested it, and they never played it... Until the last slow song. I was so happy cuz I saw all my friends slow dancing with people I wanted them to date, then I'm over here not dancing at all. And I never did... Lolz
