Gray and Lucy walked to the ice rink and knocked on the door. A middle-aged man with a potbelly stomach and glasses opened the door.

"Yes?" he asked.

"We're the wizards from Fairy Tail. We hear your having a problem with vandalism?" said Gray.

The man, who later introduced himself as the owner, ushered them inside. He showed them around the rink and described what sort of destruction had been done. The rink appeared in tip top shape now but apparently he had opened the store to find skates thrown about rink and threats written on the glass enclosures with ketchup from the snack bar. The owner had at first chalked the whole incident up to a random act but the same thing had happened two nights later.

"Well, don't worry. If they try anything again tonight, we'll be waiting for them." Gray shook the man's hands before he left.

Once they heard the door close behind him, Gray turned towards Lucy and grinned. "This place is perfect, I love ice skating. Do you know how?"

Lucy nodded and with some light convincing, the two wizards went to the skate rental room and got a pair of skates. Gray couldn't help but feel that there was something eerie about the large, empty ice rink. Oh well, he thought. You couldn't really ask for a better job/date than this. He was completely in his element. Now was his chance to show off some of his sweet moves.

Gray glided onto the ice and skated backwards a little. Lucy followed suit, albeit, a little more wobbly. "No fair. You're an ice wizard," she called out laughing. Gray smiled and dashed off around the rink at a quick pace. When he got back around to Lucy, he dug his skates into the ice and skidded to a stop. Lucy squeaked and shielded herself from the spray of ice.

"There's no way I can keep up. I'm having trouble just standing here."

"No problem, I'll help you."

Gray held out his arms and Lucy fumbled for him. She grabbed his arms and skated forward slowly while Gray glided backwards.

"See, you're not half bad."

"Yeah right," she laughed.

The skated a few laps and Lucy started to feel her confidence grow a little. "Okay, let me try it without the training wheels."

Gray reluctantly let go of Lucy at which point she promptly fell on her butt. "Ouch," she exclaimed, rubbing her rear.

Gray tried to hold back his laughter and was helping her up when loud music started blaring through the speakers and the disco ball hanging in the center of the ice rink began rotating.

"Are you doing this?" Lucy asked.

"No, looks like we might have company."

The couple started to move off the ice but Lucy had become nervous and was having more trouble moving. Suddenly, a hotdog shot through the air and hit her square in the face. The shock of the projectile made her lose her balance and she went down again.

"Hey," she shouted. "Who threw that?"

Gray looked around but didn't see anyone. Suddenly, another hotdog was flying towards Lucy. Gray, being the heroic man that he was, jumped in front of the hotdog, taking a direct hit from the mysterious meat substance.

"Whoever's doing that, it isn't funny," he called out. The music stopped and they waited in silence for the intruder or intruders to make their next move. Suddenly, dozens of hotdogs, burgers, and French fries descended upon them in a fast food barrage. Gray even thought he saw a basket of nachos whiz by. The ice wizard artfully dodged the attack, looking around wildly to see who was casting the spells.

"Oh man, this is a new outfit."

Gray looked down. Yes, there had indeed been nachos and now Lucy was wearing them. Nachos cheese dripped down from her head and landed on her shoulders.

"Uh, maybe Virgo will have something nice for you to change into later," he offered.

Gray had given up on having Lucy skate off the ice and instead, scooped her up in his arms. Once they had gotten off the ice, the couple quickly started to remove their skates. Gray had just gotten his off when Lucy starting screaming.

"Gh-gh-ghost!"

The celestial wizard grabbed his arm with one hand and pointed above him with the other. Gray looked up. Above him was a translucent white figure. It was only about two feet tall and looked suspiciously like a miniature version of the Staypuff Marshmallow Man.

"That thing? That can't be a ghost."

The soft-looking creature flew up into Gray's face.

"Boo!" it shouted in a childlike voice.

Gray jumped back, surprised that the little guy could talk. He regained his composure and swatted at the spirit. Sure enough, his hand slid right through the little bugger. The ghost laughed and flew away.

"Hey get back here," Gray shouted.

Lucy was cowering behind him. "How are we supposed to fight a ghost?"

"I'm not sure it is a ghost. Besides, it's a spirit right? You control spirits."

Lucy blinked up at him. "You're right." She stood up and dusted off her skirt. "There's probably someone controlling it. This looks like a job for Fairy Tail's number one celestial spirit!"

Lucy pulled out her Lion's gate key. "Open the door of Lion's gate!" she called out.

Gray sighed. Sure enough, Loke appeared before them. The celestial spirit ran up to Lucy and took her hands in his. Gray couldn't help but notice that Lucy blushed a little.

"Lucy, what's wrong? What do you need me to do?"

Lucy pointed to the little white ghost that was now dancing on top of the disco ball. "Stop that spirit, he's destroying this place."

Loke looked up at the little spirit and smirked. "What, Gray couldn't handle Casper?"

Gray scoffed and looked away. "You know what they say, fight fire with fire. Or in this case, fight a pest with another pest."

Loke frowned at Gray. "What's wrong with you? You're treating me like Natsu. Speaking of Natsu, where is he?"

"He's not here. It's just Lucy and me on this mission."

Understanding crossed over Loke's face. "Ah, I see," he said giving Gray a sly wink.

"Are you going to help us or not?"

The little ghost was back at the snack bar, rustling through the garbage. Loke dashed over to him and bonked him on the head. The spirit fell to the floor and started crying.

Loke looked sympathetically at the little guy. "Maybe I was too hard on him. Now you just need to find out who's summoning him."

The three guild members ran outside. Two teenage boys with spikey hair and pimples were standing there laughing. When they saw the trio, they bolted. Gray and Loke chased them down, tackling them.

"Hey man, get off me," one of the kids shouted.

"What are you guys doing vandalizing the ice rink?" demanded Gray.

"Man, the store owner's a jerk. He kicked us out last week."

Gray took the silver key from the taller boy. They called the local authorities and soon, the two juveniles were carted off.

"Thanks Loke," Lucy said.

"Anytime." And with a pop, he vanished.

Gray turned towards Lucy. "Well, that didn't go too bad. Sorry your outfit got ruined."

"No problem, that was kind of fun." She grinned up at him, melting his heart.

"Hey Lucy, I wanted to talk to you."

"Yes?" She looked up at him with sweet amber eyes.

"Do you wanna be my girl?"

Lucy smiled and jumped up, wrapping her arms around him. "Of course!" She kissed him.

"Hey Lucy…"

"Yes?"

"Do you want to try one of those cute celestial outfits?"

Luffy fan: Hope you liked it. This last chapter got a little goofy but it was fun to write!
