Chapter Sixteen: (Part Two) Magic Dance Ball

So here's the second half I promised you. I'm sorry that it wasn't posted sooner, I had my Meningitis injection and was ill because of it O.o then I hadn't had a computer since.

~The Idiot Ninja

You said nothing to him. Instead you just stared at him, unsure on what to say.

"What the hell is this?" Gray asked, not trying to hide the loudness of his voice.

"Well, you see its a long story." You told him.

"Your not a he...your a she. Does anyone else know?" He questioned, cutting you off.

"Mira, Lucy, the two twin dragons of Sabertooth, Loke, Virgo and Cancer." You mumbled.

"What the hell, Loke knew before I did?" Gray asked, full of surprise.

You'd noticed he'd stopped being as angry as he was at first, you wondered what he was thinking.

-Gray's Thoughts-
What the hell? Why did Loke have to know before me? I know I'm suppose to be angry with him... I mean her, but...I cant bring myself to. I need to stay away from her for a while, I need to think. Why has she been keeping a secret like this? Why lie about who she was? Has she lied about anything else? How will I be able to trust her again.

Again, you didn't answer him. He stared at you before turning away, leaving you stood there, alone. You stared after him.

'Is he going to tell everyone? I hope not, they deserve to hear it from me.' You thought repeatedly, growing worried.

Just as you were about to follow after him, you was pulled away by Natsu.

"Hey (male name)." He sang, grinning.

"Hey, Natsu." You replied.

You stared at him, he was wearing the same as you, just bigger and he had a waist coat over the top. You smiled up at him.

"What was that about? Gray stomping off I mean?" He asked you, cocking his head to the side.

'Did he hear everything? Does he know?' These ran through you head as you began to panic.

"Erm, I don't know." You answered him quickly.

He stared at Gray, pouting in annoyance. He then resumed his usual self by smiling at you. Then he began to drag you out of the changing area. You tried to resist but he swung you round, so you were facing Wendy.

"Hi (male name)." She sang.

"Erm, hi Wendy." You responded in confusion.

"I'm just going to cast Troia on you and Natsu, since we will be on moving platforms. I'm not sure if transport effects you but its best to be safe." She explained, generating a sphere of energy between her hands, touching your temples before doing the same to Natsu.

You diddn't feel any different. You used to suffer from severe motion sickness but then that spell came along and you were fine of any moving  vehicle. That was one thing you were going to miss.

You were pulled from your thoughts when you were dragged away from Wendy.

"Get changed Wendy." Natsu shouted to her.

~Mini Time Skip~

You were all ready to go. Erza flung open the curtain, revealing herself wearing a long purple dress, going down to her ankle, a long slit travelling up the front, stopping below her crotch. The straps were thick and crossed across her chest and wrapped her neck. Around the bottom of her dress was the patterns of red roses with white and lilac patterns behind them. Her hair was up in a  loose bun, leaving her fringe and bangs down. On her arms where white gloves which travelled up past her elbows and on her forearms.

Wendy was dressed in a pink dress which flared out slightly, frills sitting on the bottom of it. Around her shoulders was a velvet red shawl over her shoulders with a white fluffy trim and a pink bow holding it together. She had white gloves on which stopped just above her wrists. Her hair was up in two ponytails on each side of her head, held up in two light pink bows. Her fringe was left down and her bangs were spiralling down, framing her face.

Lucy donned a red dress, going down to her ankles, a slit travelling up her thigh. Her hair was styled in its usual way except with a ribbon which matched her dress. Her dress showed her back, the straps hung around her neck, leaving her back exposed.

Lucy, looped her arm with yours and pulled you along with her. You then heard a voice in your head, Warrens voice.

"You guys need to walk around the ball room, look out for anyone who looks suspicious." He said.

You shook your head, trying to shake the voice from your head.

"(Male name) that won't do anything. Warren uses Telepathy Magic." Lucy told you, giggling slightly.

You blushed in embarrassment before Lucy dragged you into the crowds of masked mages. You begin to blend in with them, loosing the others easily. Eventually you bumped into Gray. You almost fell backwards but he caught you by grabbing onto your arm, pulling you back onto your feet.

"Watch it , err, (male name)?" He asked unsure on what your real name was.

"Sorry. Oh and it's (female name)." You told him, looking down to your feet.

He exhaled deeply, about to walk off and leave you but you stopped him, grabbing onto the back of his shirt. He turned to look at you and to tell you to let go but he stopped himself. He looked at your face, your eyes were welling up, on the verge of crying. He stepped back, shocked before pulling you to the edge of the ball room, near a curtain to hide you both.

"I'm sorry Gray. I never wanted to lie to everyone. I never expected to get so close to everyone. I thought that I would never have to tell anyone but then I met you guys. You ruined my plans." You sobbed.

"Why?" He asked you simply, handing you a issue he had hidden in his pocket.

You took it from him, wiping your eyes, then blowing your nose. You stared up at him again.

"If I didn't Orlov would find me. I needed to pretend to me a boy to protect myself and Lily. Why would Orlov find me when I dress as a boy when he's looking for a girl." You bawled.

He simply stared at you, unsure on what to do. After watching you weep for a while longer, he grabbed your shoulders, pulled you towards his chest and wrapped his arms around you. Your eyes shot wide open in surprise but soon closed as you hugged him back, trying not to cry.

"(Male name).....what are you saying?" You heard the voice of Erza say from inside you head.

You pulled away from Gray, looking around you. From within the crowds you saw the horrified expressions from Natsu, Erza, Elfman and Wendy. They must have heard you through Warren and his Telepathy magic.

"Oh god no. You werent suppose to find out yet." You whined as you ran  towards the entrance. You ran outside, hiding away in the bushes. While hiding there, you sat and cried silently.

A commotion could be heard from inside. The sound of a fight. Then a man was being escorted out of the building. He had an oval face, crazy-looking eyes, an afro and slightly pointed ears. He also had a thin mustache that joined with his spiral beard. He was wearing a checkered shirt with a cigar in his mouth.

You figured he was the guy Velveno you came here to get. You was glad that he was caught, now you could go home and hide. You curled yourself up into a ball, hugging your knees and ducking your head down between them, exposing your neck.

"(Female name)?" You heard as you felt a excessively warm breath on your neck.

Your head sprung up, focusing your red puffed up eyes on Erza, Natsu, Gray, Wendy, Warren, Happy, Elfman, Carla and Lucy. Natsu was hovering over you, causing the warmth on your neck.

"Yea?" You croakily managed.

"We understand. Lucy explained all she knew to us." Erza spoke kindly, smiling lightly.

Tears streamed down your face again, this time you were lightly smiling. Lucy crouched down next to you and pulled you into a tight little squeeze, reassuring you that everything was going to be ok.
