Remember Me?

Chapter 9: Can You Dance?

Dogwonder: We're back! And my phone is being stupid! Ugh! Need a new one!

Audry: What's a phone?

Dogwonder: Oh yeah. They don't have phones where you're from. Well, a phone is an amazing device that runs on magic that can do basically anything.

Audry: I want one!

Dogwonder: But not mine, because it sucks! Let's just start.

I walked out of my room with Kettle and met Lucy on the stairs.

"Hey Lucy!" I greeted.

"Hi!" Kettle yelled.

"Hey."

I stopped in my tracks and looked closely at Lucy. "What's wrong?"

"I have to pay the rent soon, so I'm in need of money."

"Oh yeah. Rent. Forgot all about the paying part."

"What will I do with you?" Kettle shock her head.

"Well, we have to pay soon. I don't want to be kicked out!" Tears appeared in Lucy's eyes.

"Eh?! Um, it's okay Lucy! We can just go on a high paying job!"

"But what if there aren't any high paying jobs?!"

"There will! Don't worry! Let's go now and look!"

I grabbed Lucy's wrist and dragged her out of our building to the guild with Kettle right behind. I pushed open the door and we went directly to the job board. I randomly yanked a request off the board and handed it to her.

"Here! Look at this one!"

Lucy examined the request before looking up at me. "Really?"

"What?"

She gave the paper to me and I read it aloud. "You are to infiltrate a dance club where teenagers have been getting abducted and take out the boss. Reward 800,000."

Lucy looked at me expectantly.

"I don't get it."

"It's perfect for you Audry that's what." Kettle said.

"No. Infiltrating a dance club. I don't really want to try going undercover again."

"Looks like you've already picked out a job." Natsu took the paper from my hand.

"Wonder how much fish I could buy with that much." Happy drooled.

"We haven't exactly decided yet." Lucy said.

Erza came over and took the paper from Natsu. "This seems like a good job."

Gray, Wendy, and Charla walked over to us.

"So we're going on a job?" Gray asked.

"No one's listening." Lucy sighed.

"I am ready to leave." Erza told us with a huge cart stacked with luggage in hand.

"How?!" Lucy exclaimed.

We ignored her outburst and left for the train station. Once we got on the train did a pressing issue occur.

"Ugh!" Natsu groaned.

His face was turning green and was leaning out the window about to hurl.

"I don't remember Natsu having a problem with transportation." I recalled.

"That was probably before he became a dragon slayer." Erza said.

"How come you aren't sick though?" Lucy questioned.

"Maybe because of my self healing powers. That's probably why Wendy doesn't get sick too." I guessed.

"Either way we get to see flame brain here get sick." Gray smirked.

I glared at him. "Seriously? Shouldn't we be helping him?"

Erza punched Natsu in the stomach and he became unconscious.

"That's not what I meant."

"Poor Natsu." Wendy whispered.

We soon arrived at the station and Erza picked Natsu up. We went to the requester's house and woke Natsu up before we went in. Our team sat down and got more information on the job.

"Our daughter went to the club and hasn't returned yet." The father explained. "After that we looked into it and discovered there were more cases like it. We wish for you to put an stop to it."

The wife started crying and the husband comforted her.

"Of course." Erza agreed.

"But before you go it's best that you change." The husband added.

"Change?" Lucy asked.

"Well, right now you don't exactly blend in so it is best for you to change."

The man supplied us with clothes. Lucy changed into an short orange dress that tied around the neck with red high heel sandals and her hair tied up. Then, Natsu changed into a white polyester suit that had a high collar, a chain, and his hair gelled up. Wendy wore a pink dress that had long flowy sleeves with white knee high boots and her hair down. I was given an short light blue dress with a brown vest and open toe high heel shoes. Gray was wearing a red low button shirt with black pants. Erza changed into an short purple dress with white boots and her hair high up.

"What's with these clothes?" Natsu complained.

"These are what they wear at the dance club." The man said.

"We should be on our way now. Let's go." Erza told us.

We then left and went to our job location. The music was loud and lights were swirling. Teens were everywhere drinking, talking, and dancing.

"You are to blend into the crowd. Possibly we can attract their attention." Erza directed us.

We went our separate ways. I headed onto the dance floor and would occasionally glance to see how Wendy was doing. A guy then approached me and started to dance next to me. He kept checking me out and I tried to ignore him.

"Move it." Gray growled.

The guy glared at him before back off.

"Thanks. It was getting kind of weird." I admitted.

"And you didn't do anything about it?!"

Gray then sighed and shock his head.

"Can you dance?" I asked.

"What?"

"Just answer it."

"... Yes."

"Good."

I grabbed his hand and had him spin me. Then, started moving my body to the rhythm. Gray soon caught on. He grabbed my hands then slid me under he legs then back up which brought me into another spin. Pretty soon we had a circle of people surrounding us and cheering. Once the song ended we came to a halt. A man pushed through the crowd and approached us.

"There is someone who would like to talk to you."

Gray and I looked at each other before nodding. The man lead us to what he hoped was the boss, but not knowing what was waiting for us.

Dogwonder: I can't even dance in real life, so the dance scene is really bad.

But Gray is protective! Is he developing an interest or is it sisterly?

How is the story so far?
