{Erza's POV}

"It's Mavis and Zeref's anniversary!" Lucy exclaimed ecstatically. I was so excited about it too. I never realized it up until now. "What should I wear? What should I wear?" She asked herself frantically.

I rolled my eyes to this. "Calm down. You're not the one having the anniversary." I said as I sat on the bed and crossed my legs.

"Sorry. I was just so excited."

"Palpably."

"Guys!" Levy stood on the door with a frown on her face. "We've got a problem." Her worried face caused me to worry as well. "Mavis can't seem to find her dress."

"This is indeed an emergency." I replied.

"Well, what are we gonna do?" Lucy asked as her excitement dropped down to zero. She flailed her arms. It was her hobby when she was worried about something. "We can't let the party be cancelled. I'm too excited." Her sad face made Levy sigh. Levy sat down beside me and shrugged.

"It's not like we have a short time for preparing for the party. We have five more hours, actually. I would love to finish the preparations early though." Levy answered, looking up at the ceiling. "I guess we'd have to find it in every way we can."

"Oh, but the boys are the one decorating, right?" Lucy inquired.

"As much as I really hate to say this, I need to. The boys are gone because they need to get the cake, which is two hours away. They told me that we should replace them."

"Then how are we supposed to find Mavis's dress if that's the case?"

"I don't know. Juvia can't help because she's too busy preparing our foods for the party later." We all sighed. "Mavis is sulking at a corner." We can't let the anniversary be like this. We can't let Mavis sulk at a corner.

"For the second time, what are we gonna do?" I asked in a monotonous voice.

"Do you wanna build a snowman?" Lucy laughed. She was already like this after the night of the story-telling. "Kidding aside, why don't we just lend her a dress? I mean, we all have dresses, right? I can lend her some. I don't use 'em that much anyway."

Levy facepalmed. "I haven't thought of that. Thank you, Lucy. That's what we must do." Levy grinned. "Okay, peeps! It's time to work!"

Three hours later, Mavis wore a white dress with black dots. She looked elegant. Zeref and the boys haven't arrived yet, which was pissing me off. Right, one more hour before they could arrive. We decorated the whole room for three hours and dressed up Mavis. When that was done, it was time for our own preparation. The boys had already prepared themselves earlier than us, so everything was solved. They just have to arrive.

"I can't be happier than this. Thank you." Mavis gasped, her eyes brimming with tears. We all did a group hug. Just in time, Juvia came out of the kitchen and removed the apron. She smiled at us and ran to join the group hug.

"The food is ready. What happened when I wasn't around?" Juvia grinned.

"So many, Juvia." I chuckled. "It's time for you to get ready, though." We hauled her to the dressing room.

"You have arrived! Thank goodness." I glared at the five boys who was in the gate, panting. "Five more minutes. Come in before I get angry." They all scampered inside, sweaty. I scrunched my face in disgust, but not before looking at Jellal who was looking at me too for some reason. It took all my will power to not blush. His red and blue necktie suited him.
