"Welcome to Fairy Tail Academy's Halloween festival!" Erza yelled into the microphone at the school's assembly building.

The students cheered excitedly. Natsu, in an old English styled vampire costume, and Gray, as a mummy, pulled onto strings at the stage. Confetti, strings, and balloons fell from the ceiling. The students cheered louder and began the festivities. Levy made sure everything was in order, the decorations, the events, the fireworks at the end. Since the school was open to everyone, Gajeel invited his little sister Wendy to the festival. She had on a cute fairy outfit. The two did not look related at all. She was small with dark blue hair and super cute. Gajeel was the total opposite of her.

"You look so cute Levy," Lucy commented. Since Natsu was a vampire, Lucy was his victim as a princess with blood dripping down her neck from two fake bite marks.

"You too, Lu. Love the blood."

"Thanks, Natsu wanted to use actual animal blood, that idiot. So I made some myself."

"Nice. I'm going to look around. I'll meet you guys later for the fireworks."

Lucy agreed and the two friends separated. Apparently all the couples in Fairy Tail Academy were matching. Levy was dressed as Red riding hood, while Gajeel dressed as the big bad wolf. Levy secretly drooled as his exposed six-pack was always in her line of vision. Not that she would ever admit it to him. Jellal was a pirate, while Erza played a sexy mermaid/siren. Juvia dressed as an undead Egyptian princess to match Gray's mummy theme.

Levy saw other amazing costumes. Elfman was Frankenstein and Evergreen was the bride. Lisanna dressed as a black cat. Freed as a prince, Bixlow as a Knight, and Laxus came to the festival as well, dressing like a King. Mira, with her bugling belly, dressed as Laxus' beautiful pregnant Queen. Lucy's twin brother, Sting, went as a zombie, his girlfriend, Yukino went as a witch. Gajeel's other sibling Ryos, or Rouge, went as a ghost.

"This is going very well." Erza said as she surveyed the school.

Levy agreed. "According to Gajeel, over $2,000 were made already. People are truly enjoying themselves."

"Good. Now you have to enjoy yourself too. Everyone has the night off." Erza ordered.

"Seriously?" Levy asked.

Erza nodded then ran over to Mira, who placed her hands on her belly. The two former rivals, now best friends spoke happily to one another. Jellal and Laxus joined the conversation. Levy was truly happy for Mira. She stared at the large diamond ring her on left hand. Maybe one day, Gajeel will give her that same happiness.

Too soon to be thinking about marriage. Speaking of her boyfriend, Gajeel was walking towards her with a hoard of stuffed animals. Wendy, Rouge and Juvia walked by his side.

"Babe, look at what I won." Gajeel said.

"Hey, half of those are mine." Wendy commented.

"I'm just showing them off." Gajeel stated.

"Have you seen my Gray?" Juvia asked Levy and Gajeel.

Levy shook her head. "Last time I saw Gray, he and Natsu were bickering over whose costume was better," Levy informed her.

Juvia nodded, greeted Rouge and Wendy and ran off in search of her beloved. The rest of them wandered around the school checking out each new event. Levy's class did a haunted café theme. The food was great. Lucy had her maid and butler create the majority of the food. Gajeel's class was in charge of a haunted house. Wendy and Levy held onto each other, screaming. Gajeel took pictures, while Rouge shook his head.

Each classroom stuck with a great Halloween theme. One class did a play about different myths of certain creatures of the night. Gajeel loved that one. He even laughed and howled when they spoke about the wolf man. The audience cackled. Levy hung her head in shame. After the play was over, the sun was setting. Rouge decided it was time to take Wendy back home.

"I don't want to go!" the small girl said.

"We have too. Mom will kill us." Rouge replied.

"I'll call mom." Gajeel said. He removed his cell from his furry pants pocket, and began calling. He stepped away once their mother answered.

"I'm surprised you are actually dating him," Rouge said to Levy.

Levy looked baffled. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, my brother is a great guy, but he's such an ass. His mind is completely elementary. His philosophy is 'mess with the girl until she becomes your girl'." Rouge explained.

Levy giggled showing she knew what he meant and agreed with him. "I guess he succeeded."

Rouge smirked. Or maybe smiled, since he doesn't do much of that. "He needs someone like you Levy. That stubborn male is a pain, but please take care of him," Rouge said sincerely.

Levy stared at her boyfriend's brother. Rouge was serious. Wendy nodded in agreement with her brother. She took it a step further by welcoming Levy into the family. Just in time, Gajeel returned, stating that Wendy could stay until nine. They continued their adventures. Rouge and Wendy witnessed, first hand, the craziness they had to deal with in school every day…what Levy had to deal with.

All the boys competed for the best costume contest, held by Erza's class. The judges were headmaster Makarov, Laxus and Mirajane. Jellal didn't join the competition because he was hosting the event. Many males joined the contest. It was not limited to just the students. Even Lucy's twin, joined. Levy, Rouge and Wendy joined the other females. Cana turned to Rouge.

"You're not competing?" she asked.

Rouge shook his head. "I'm a ghost, not very original."

"Most of these costumes aren't," Levy said.

Lucy laughed. "Sting got disqualified. Yukino, go cheer him up," she teased, winking at her possible future sister-in-law.

The shy white haired female walked towards her sullen boyfriend. The blond male hugged the life out of her, while he cried over his loss. Sting then went over to Rouge and he cried on his shoulders as well.

"Rouge and Sting have been best friends since middle school," Lucy explained to Levy.

"Rouge introduced Yukino to Sting," Wendy added.

"Rouge's not dating anyone?" Levy asked.

"A senior. Her name is Kagura, but I think he's dating Minerva too. She's also a senior. But Kagura goes to an all-girls school. Minerva goes to their school," Wendy said.

Rouge's a secret playboy? Huh, who would have thought?

"I think those girls are just after him," Lucy said. "That's what Sting tells me." Lucy pays attention to the contest again. This time her boyfriend lost. Natsu cursed out everyone, then ran to Lucy. He placed his head on top of her chest. His favorite comforting spot. Lucy pushed him. "Jerk!" she yelled. She walked away with Natsu running after her.

Levy and Wendy stayed to see if Gajeel was winning. Surprisingly he was. He, Elfman, and another male were the last three. The third male was Asian with slick black hair and matching eyes. His skin was pale and he had three triangular tattoos on each side of his cheeks. He was dressed as General Shang from Mulan, and he looked really good.

Cana yelled out the guy's name: Bacchus.

"Who's he?" Levy asked.

Cana turned to Levy smiling like a bright sun. "My boyfriend."

Levy's eyes widened. "Whoa, that's the older man you were telling us about? He's hot."

Cana beamed. "Isn't he? We met at a bar." Cana laughed. "We competed over a drinking contest. He won, but I ended up winning. He asked me out that same night."

"He doesn't care about your age?" Not bothering to lecture Cana about her habit of underage drinking.

"Nope."

Levy looked up at the audience. Elfman lost. Now it was Bacchus and Gajeel. In disbelief and to most women delight, the men flexed. Cana continued to yell out her boyfriend's name. Levy decided to be a supporting girlfriend and copy Cana's movements. After careful deliberation, a winner was chosen. Gajeel! The school members cheered. Cana ran to her man, but he was glad to have lost to a formidable opponent. They vowed to defeat each other next year.

Levy hugged her man, so happy that he won. That night, Gajeel walked Levy home. The two holding hands. He carried his trophy in his other arm. It had the school's symbol, a female fairy with long flowing hair and a short dress. It was covered in silver. And the engraving on the bottom had the school and the competition name.

"Did you have fun?" Gajeel asked.

Levy looked up at him. "Of course! Did you?"

"Duh! I won!" he showed off his trophy for the hundredth time.

Levy laughed. "Yes, yes. But I mean, in general?"

Gajeel smirked. His signature expression when he's about to tease Levy. "Anytime I'm with you, it's always fun."

Levy pretended to not feel happy about his comment. What is he doing to me?
