Dragon Slayer Queen

The Grand Ball (Chapter 8)

~Saeko Pov~

I was getting dressed with the girls trying out different dresses, I couldn't pick on. It been to long since I wore on, I feel so embarrassed and I don't really like that feeling. "Saeko come on! Pick a dress already, any longer you'll make us late." Aya complain and I puffed out my cheeks. "Well sorry~! It's been too long since I wore a dress! I haven't wore one since...my mother...died." I sighed as the girls looked at me. "Saeko I'm sorry I didn't mean-" Aya started but I cut her off.

"it's ok...don't sweat it's fine just help me find a dress." Aya and the girls nod as they help me find a dress. "Here Saeko!" Wendy and Ezra holding a sparkling blue and silver dress with a matching bow and necklace and Mira and Lucy holding a red dress with a matching red ribbon with two orange rose flowers. "They're both pretty but...they're not really my type a style." They sighed as Aya put a beautiful purple dress with a matching scarf in my face. "Aya...omg! Aya you know me so well, I love it!!! Thank you!!!" I cheered as I hug my soft fluffy exceed. "You're welcome. Now go get changed." I nods as I left to get dressed. I came out in the dress, looking at the girls blushing lightly. "Oh my gosh! Saeko you look amazing!" They girls squealed. "S-so do y-you girls." I said flushed. "Well we should get going girls" we all agreed and left.

~Time Skip~

We walked inside and everything looked amazingly beautiful, the king and Hisui had the place done beautiful. I looked around seeing around mingling with others. "Girls lets-" I looks around seeing they're not with me. "Eh?! Those jerks they ditched me...even Aya too!" I grumbled as someone took my hand. "You look beautiful, my love." I turn and look up at the person who compliment me. "T-thank you, sir...Lyon!?! Eh...um you look handsome." Lyon smiled. "Thank you, so Saeko would you like to dan-"

"Saeko!" Cana run up to me pulling me away. "Come on Saeko let's have drink!" I looked back at Lyon. "Sorry Lyon! Ok Cana I'll have a few." I said as she stopped dragging me and start drinking. I looked to see Ezra, Lucy and Mira having small talk, Wendy and Carla near the buffet table, Lilly, Happy, Lector and Aya chatting well mostly Aya chatting while the three are blushing and glaring at each other which made me laugh. Someone got some competition going on to win Aya's heart...hehe! I looked over to my left to see Gray shirtless which made me blush. "Saeko." I looked over to my right to see a two people from Sabertooth.

"Hey Rufus and Orga, what up?" I smiled. "Uh we wanted to apologize about what happened at the games...do you forgive us?" Rufus stated. "Oh...hehehe I have to think about that..but can you two meet me outside when the ball is over and bring the dragon slayer twins with you." I asked well more like a demand and they nodded. "Thank you." I kissed their cheek before walking up to Gray. "Hey Gray would you like to dance and don't say you don't know how to dance cause I saw you dancing with Wendy earlier." I smiled as he blushed and take my hand leading me to the center. "Congrats on the win in the games you did great so did the others." Looked up at Gray as he twirled me. "It was no big deal...uh...um..you look lovely and beautiful in your dress." Gray said with a small tinted blush which I didn't notice cause I was to busy feeling embarrassed.

"Eh...r-really..are you sure...it's been so long the I have wore a d-dress." I started to worry. "Yes Saeko, I meant every word." I blushed. "T-thank you." I said as I walk away to chat you my exceed and probably tease her a little. "Hey Saeko, I saw your scene with Lyon, Rufus, Orga and your dance with Gray." She said with a smirk and I blushed. "Y-yea...so what if you did..now hush! They're gonna announce the king soon so...later." I smiled as I walk away but only bumping into Hisui and Lucy. "Hisui! You look stunning!" I smiled hugging her. "So do you, Saeko! I think the guys think so too." Hisui said with a small smirk which made me frown. "Awe...not you too!!" I whined which made them laugh. "But it's true Saeko!" They both said in union and I blushed. "Saeko!" I looked to see the Blue Pegasus boys running over here. Crap! "Ahh! Huh...s-sorry but I gotta run!" I said quickly and ran seeing them right behind me.
