Author's Note: This is the last chapter, and also pretty long. Tell me what you think!


The guys arrived on the scene shortly after they departed from Natsu's house. Happy soared in front of them in his little black tuxedo. Natsu was the first to walk in, discovering that there had already been couples waiting. He spotted Elfman talking with Evergreen about what it's like being a man, Romeo and Wendy shyly interacting, and Bickslow and Freed, waiting for Laxus to show up. The men walked into Fairy Tail and got situated at the back, slowly forming a circle. "I can't help but be a little nervous, I've never been to one of these events before…" Jellal looked down with a small smile plastered on his face. The fire dragon lightly tapped the side of his arm, "Don't worry man, Erza will take care of you!" The blue haired mage looked up in confidence and quickly nodded his head. Gajeel laughed, "I hope that that shrimp appreciates all the effort I took in looking like this." Placing his hand on his mask that covered exactly half of his face. Natsu's mask was the smallest one out of all of them, as his only covered a portion of area surrounding his right eye. Gray relaxed coolly with his hands in his pockets while Laxus was sitting down with head leaning against his fist on the table. He sighed and took off his pointy headphones and left them to the side. "Whoever touches these is a dead man." Laxus looked at the circle, everyone heeded his announcement. Natsu began looking around, seeing all the decorations and newly input chandelier with hundreds of dangling lights. The tables all decorated with white cloth covering the whole thing, as well as the fact that they were all spread out to the side of the room, creating a dance floor in the center. I don't like the guild like this, it's too… formal… Salamander thought to himself. The rest of guys fell silent, as they witnessed the girls pouring into the guild hall.

"Welcome to Fairy Tail's First Ballroom Dance!" Announced the overly eccentric master above them. Everyone smiled at the master, as he continued, "Tonight, I want you all to have the night of your lives, as well the morning after of your lives." He gave a wink at the last part, making everyone chuckle silently. "Now, dance!" Ballroom music began to play upstairs, filling the room with sound. However, the men and women of Fairy Tail were still separated, as they marveled at each other. The space seemed to get wider and wider as no one dared approach the other side. Gray bumped Natsu, "Well? What are you waiting for flame head?" "I can't find Lucy." He replied to the Ice Make mage. Gray was going to help him look until he locked eyes with Juvia, noticing her deep blue colored dress, with her long wavy hair down; he was stunned at the way her body was molded into the dress, almost staring with his mouth open. "Good luck with that buddy." He muttered as he kept staring at Juvia. Natsu noticed and pushed him forward, hard enough that it forced Gray across the gap, landing right in front of her. "Hi Juvia, you look beautiful." The Ice Mage blushed, "C'mon Gray-sama, Juvia wants to start dancing!" She took his hand and rushed over to the dance floor, everyone else watched, but still no one made a muscle. "Ahhh screw it, c'mon shrimp!" Gajeel walked over to Levy and took her hand, making their way to the open level. Lucy emerged from behind Mira as Natsu's eyes widened at her appearance. Lucy was wearing a black dress with red streaking rising halfway up, almost looking like flames. Natsu walked over to Lucy, "C'mon everyone, grab your partners!" He shouted, causing all the guys to close the fissure. Lucy blushed under Natsu's gaze at her. "You look gorgeous Luce!" he gave her his million dollar grin. She smiled, still looking down. She then began analyzing Natsu, never seeing him dress so fancy, but recognized his classic attire right away. "You don't look so bad yourself, Natsu, but did you have to wear the scarf?" Natsu smiled, "Of course! I don't go anywhere without Igneel's scarf!" He took her hand and pulled her hastily to the dance floor. The dragon slayer stopped when he finally reached the middle, watching all the other couples dance a certain way. After scanning the scene, he then looked at Lucy, slowly moving both his hands down her side until he reached her mid-section. Lucy wrapped her arms around on top of his shoulders, enclosing his head. He began side-stepping slowly. Natsu is acting so different, more mature for once. She giggled quietly to herself, looking up and down his frame. "Am I doing this right?" he needed some confirmation as he kept side-stepping, watching his feet carefully. "You're doing just fine." Lucy said softly. "Wow, we need to get something to eat after this is all over, I'm starving!" I spoke too soon. Lucy sighed. Natsu slowly pulled the celestial's mage closer, feeling his heat emanate from his body. Her cheeks flustered as she kept staring down. She glanced up and noticed Natsu staring at her with a weird expression. "What?" Lucy stammered on her word, Natsu's grip on her became slightly tighter as he said, "I'm glad you're my partner." Lucy looked into his eyes as she slowly pulled his head down closer, before softly touching her lips against his. Natsu's eyes widened as he felt the softness of Lucy's parted lips. She pulled slowly, opening her eyes to see Natsu's reaction. Natsu was stunned, as he stopped dancing. Lucy was overwhelmed with embarrassment, but felt her being pulled into Natsu's embrace, as his hands rested on the back of her head and her lower back. "Lucy…" he whispered, sending chills down the spirit mage's spine.

The night progressed smoothly, Lucy and Natsu were sitting down to the fact that being in high heels was killing her feet, Elfman still going on about how ballroom dancing was very manly, and Juvia trying to squirm her way onto Gray's lap. Few couples were still on the dance floor, as the Exceeds still danced very cordially, Mirajane and Laxus danced with Mira's back to Laxus and his arms wrapped around her waist, and Jellal and Erza smiling at each other like no one else existed on this planet. "Okay my children, as much as I'd like to continue on, it is time for me to end this event. Do not fret though; we will have something like this again very soon!" Master Makarov held his hand up, the music ending on the last note. Natsu smiled at Lucy, "Alright Luce time to-" she had fallen asleep on the table they were sitting at. The fire dragon picked her up and cradled her in his arms, following in line behind everyone else trying to leave.

He made his way to her apartment, and opened the front door instead of using the other entrance he loved. Walking into her bedroom, he pulled the covers back of her bed and laid the blonde mage's still body down. He took off his tux, as it was bugging him the whole night, and set down across the floor to the side. The dragon slayer was getting sleepy himself, and decided to crash into Lucy's comfy chair.

Lucy awoke in the middle of the night, as she realized she had fallen asleep with her dress on. She glanced over at Natsu, fast asleep in her chair. She smiled quietly before getting up and walking to her bathroom to change. Natsu slowly woke up from the sudden noise, seeing as Lucy's bed was empty. He made his way to her bed, not thinking logically as to where his partner was. He tucked himself in and smiled happily. Lucy came back only to find the pink haired mage in her spot. She glared at him, but realized she was getting really cold in just her sleeping clothes. She decided to hop in bed with him, hoping she wouldn't regret it. Her presence alerted Natsu and he looked over at the blonde. "Oh, hi Lucy." She flinched as she turned over to look at him. "What do you think you're doing in my bed?" Lucy's tone shifted to scary, as her eyes turned into daggers. "I wanted to sleep here." Natsu calmly replied. Lucy sighed and then revealed a small smile. "I had a good time tonight, thank you for being my date." "I had a good time too." Natsu slightly blushed, remembering the kiss that had ensued on the dance floor. He touched his lips, then looked over at his partner. Her eyes had already closed, but her lips were parted slightly. No no, she's my partner! I can't… He thought to himself, still staring at her inviting mouth. She's asleep, I can just kiss her and then pull back really quick. Natsu leaned closer, before extending his neck to kiss her lips. He felt arms quickly wrap around him as she pulled him closer. "Natsu, I was waiting for you." She opened her eyes, kissing him more and more. Her tongue stretching from her mouth to his, twirling along his teeth. Natsu gripped Lucy's waist as he meshed his tongue with hers. Lucy let out a soft moan, pushing her soft breasts against his chest. He turned her over, still kissing her passionately with her head turned. She jumped when she felt something poke her butt. "Natsu…" she murmured, causing the dragon slayer to become red. "I'm sorry; I think I'm getting a little too excited." He moved one of his hands to her breast, and softly squeezed it. She moaned and involuntarily started grinding on his erection. He felt his control start fading, letting his instincts take over. Natsu dipped his head to the crook of her neck and started nibbling down her collar. She whimpered as she felt the dragon get harder against her, squeezing her chest even tighter.

The next morning, Lucy woke up abruptly, looking around her room, only to find that her view was hindered by the dragon slayer's chest. They were both completely naked, due to the affairs that transpired last night. He was my first… Lucy looked down blankly, hoping that she was his first too. She shook him gently. "Natsu, wake up." The dragon slayer stirred and groaned calmly, before slowly opening his eyes. "Good morning Luce." He said deeply, his eyes filled with satisfaction and contentment. "Last night was amazing." He continued. She looked at him with uncertainty. He held her closer. "I'm glad I got to share my first time with you." He murmured, almost causing the blonde to squeak. Her cheeks turned scarlet before letting out a small sigh. "You're all mine." "And you're all mine, my pink-haired dragon."

Natsu and Lucy began heading to the guild, both silent but filled with happiness as they held hands. They peered into Fairy Tail, everyone present, but a different atmosphere. "Hey fire brain." A shirtless Gray with an attached Juvia on his arm, greeted him. "Hey Popsicle." Natsu smiled. Lucy looked at both of them, readying herself to see them both fight. "Man, last night was amazing." The ice make mage affirmed, looking at Juvia to his side. "I'll say! I'm glad we were all there." "I'm glad we're best friends." Gray asserted before leaving off with Juvia. Lucy had a puzzled expression on her face, while Natsu just smiled.
