Disclaimer: I own nothing

A horse-drawn carriage scurries down the road at a full gallop. Lucy Heartfilia sat inside the carriage along with a woman that resembled her mother sitting in front for her.

"Smile Lucy dear, you always look best with a smile." Layla Heartfilia spoke to her giving her a kind smile. Tears started to fill her eyes as she looked at the woman in front of her.

"Mom." Lucy whispered and hugged her mother. Layla stiffened shocked by Lucy's action but then gave in to the hug. "Where are we going?" Lucy asked as she hugged her mother.

"Silly we're going to Loke's home for the party today. Have you gone mad Lucy?" Layla laughed as Lucy let go of her mother. Lucy sat back in her seat clutching her light blue dress.

Once Layla and Lucy arrive at the Leo's estate the garden party is lively. Both girls approached Lord and Lady Leo with a smile.

"Finally! We had thought you'd never show. Lucy, Loke is waiting to dance with you." Lady Leo says as she pushes alice off and turns to Layla.

"Do you realize that it is in well past hour! Now we will have to rush everything."Lady Leo says looking at Layla with her cruel eyes.

"I am sorry. We...." Layla manages to say before Lady Leo interrupts her.

"Never mind!" She yells before rushing off. Lord Leo turned to Layla ready to apologize.

"Forgive Celeste. She has been planning this for as long as I can remember." He sighs. "If only Jude was here."

"You have my condolences, Lady Layla. I often think of your husband. He was a man one could only wish to be." Layla smiles as she thinks of her husband. "His way with money something I'll surely never have."

On the dance floor Lucy carefully watches her partner with curious eyes. Loke had yet to flirt with her which was extremely rare. What exactly was going on here?

"Lady Lucy have you ever danced before. Honestly I would've thought better from a Heartfilia." Loke sneered looking down at Lucy. Lucy couldn't help but chuckle at the way he moved.

"Me? Have you seen your dancing? I think it's way worse than mine." Lucy laughs picking up the pace causing Loke to failure. A smile finds its way to Loke's face but disappears as his eyes meet his mother's. Alice's smiles fades as a thought came to her mind. 'Where was Natsu?'

Lucy dear, let's take a stroll through the garden." Lady Leo said as she jerks Lucy away, and into the rose gardens. Lady Lep steers her through the garden walking quickly.

"Do you know what I've always hated about my son?" Lady Leo speaks with her tight grip on Lucy's arm. "He's always out with so many women every... "

"Idiots! I specifically asked for red roses, and what do the gardeners do? They plant white!" Lady Leo complained.

"Well you could always dye the roses red."Lucy chimed in.

"What a weird thing to say. Come along." Looking at Lucy strangely Lady Leo hurries along the path. Suddenly there is a jingling sound almost like a bell. Lucy sees something pink dart past.

"Did you see that?" Lucy asked looking at the shaking bushes.

"See what?" Lady Leo asked looking at Lucy with a annoyed face.
