Going Crazy

Chapter 5

This is kind of weird. I never thought I would be entering a couples dancing competition with Sting. I decided to show him my own apartment, when I opened the door he nodded his head when we stepped inside.

"Does the apartment Rogue and I are renting look the same? Because this place is nice man!"

I blush a little at hearing that and I don't even know why! "Yeah, I think they're all the same."

We walk into the kitchen and I pull out a couple of drinks for us. We won the games, so why not? I remembered Sting wasn't a part of fairy tail after we won, but he gladly accepted his own glass.

I shyly pulled a loose strand of hair away from my face after cleaning up. I brush off my skirt and I'm about to suggest going back, when I hear a very familiar and unsettling sound from in my bedroom.

"Oh no." I groan as I roll my eyes and dash into my bedroom.

Natsu was crawling into my bedroom through the creaking old window.

"He out of my house you creep! How many times do I have to ask you to stop doing that? Or at least come through the front door!"

In no time Sting was at my side wondering what was going on.

"Does he normally do this?" He asks. I shake my head yes.

"Listen guys, I was just coming over to check on y-" he paused after falling to the floor with a thump.

I sighed after helping him up. "I wanted to make sure Sting kept his greedy hands to himself!" Natsu neared his teeth.

I stopped Sting from shooting his retort. "I'm sure he wouldn't steal anything of mine, Natsu."

"I wasn't talking about your things I was talking about your own self." Fire erupted from his hands.

"Whoa guys! Remember this is my house we're in...." I nervously tugged Natsu away.

"Natsu!" Happy came crashing through the window and onto my bed.

"You too?!" I shouted at the blue cat.

"Natsu! Lector and Frosch say they wanted to ask Rogue and Sting if they could go to a couple's dance competition with Carla! I've got to ask her first! Let's go!" He flew out of the window.

"Wait up little buddy, did you say dance competition?" Natsu followed after.

I shake my head. "One of these days they're going to discover I've border up my window. Or I've moved away and they'll crawl in an terrify some poor and innocent person."

Sting laughed. "If you really want him to quit bugging you, put a couple of traps at your window."

Hmmmm, why had I not thought of that before?

...........................................................

When we made it back to the guild a thought hit me abruptly. I still needed to find a dress for the competition! They wouldn't let us in if we weren't dressed up for it!

I ran to Levy and she agreed to go shopping with me. I had been talking quickly and I don't think she understood why I want to go shopping, but I think she just heard the word and that made the decision.

We were in the store looking through racks of expensive looking dresses. I couldn't decide on any of them. They were all beautiful, but none of them are really my style.

"So, are you getting all gussied up for a date?" Levy asks.

"No. Well, kind of I guess? I'm going to the couple's dance competition."

"You're going too?!" She looked at me I excitement.

I had forgotten Levy might be going with Gajeel, there's no telling what Gajeel will do though, he might go with her he might not.

"Why didn't you tell me? Who are you going with? Natsu? Gray? Loki? Or-"

"Levy, I'm only going because I need the prize money to pay for my rent." I say.

"Oh," she looks a little confused. "Who's the lucky guy?" And she snaps back to curious, happy ol' Levy.

"You're going to freak out a little bit at this. It's not who you think it is-"

"I'll bet it's Natsu! I always knew you two would make a cute couple! I am a NALU shipper after all!"

I had no idea what the heck she was going on a bout. NALU? We that supposed to be our ship name? That's so embarrassing! I mean, me and Natsu?.........l

"Actually I'm going with Sting." She freezes in the middle of her rambling and stares at me and scratches her head.

"It's not like we are actually going on a date or anything, we're only doing it because we think we can win and use the money to pay for our rent."

"You guys are living together now?"

"What? No! Well, Rogue and he are going to buy the apartment next to mine, but they're not living with me!"

My eyes land on a beautiful blue dress with white ribbons and Levy and I both fall in love. There's another right next to it that looks exactly the same only its white with blue ribbons.

"We should totally wear these!" She exclaims, grabbing the white one off its hanger.

We try on the dresses and Levy and I check ourselves out in the mirror. Levy's dress looked super cute on her! The blue ribbons complimented her hair and the white brought out her eyes.

I thought I looked absolutely stunning too. The light blue was simply dazzling and the white ribbons looked adorable. I was planning on putting one in my hair to tie up a hairstyle or something.

Once Levy and I had taken off our dresses and bought them, we were just about to leave when I saw two familiar faces outside. I gasped when I saw them headed towards the store's direction.

"Quick, hide!" I grabbed Levy by her wrist and pulled er behind a long rack of dresses.

"Why? What's going on?" I covered Levy's mouth with my hand to stop her from giving us away.

I heard the door open and the cashier ask them how he could help them.

"I'm looking for something a little, formal?" It was Sting. No doubt about it.

This was so embarrassing! What if he saw me here? I'd have to quickly run it and hope he and Rogue don't see me.

Before I could explain to Levy what I was about to do, I heard the light latter of footsteps approaching. A small creature wearing a pink frog suit crawled beneath the dresses. The thing nearly gave me a heart attack, even though it was absolutely adorable.

"Hi, my name is Frosch!" Frosch. That was Rogue's exceed!

"Awe!" Levy squealed.

"You're adorable!"

"Thanks!" Frosch bashfully looked away.

I heard Rogue's call for Frosch and I knew this wouldn't end happily for me.

"Levy, come on!" I tried to drag her towards the door but she was too busy talking to Frosch.

"We came here to get Sting a new outfit for his date!" Frosch smiled.

"Awwwwe." Levy cooed.

"Come. On!" I grunted from behind them.

I finally manage to pull Levy to her feet and we ran out in a hurry, carrying our things.
