When the girls left the dressing room, they headed straight for the ball — which they were almost late for. They ran in there and met up with their dates. The boys noticed that the others from fairy tail also had a date with them. "How'd you guys get a date?" They all asked in unison.

"I was about to ask you that!" They said in unison again. "Stop coping me!" They, once again, said in unison. They ended up butting heads and getting into a fight with each other. "So~ how did you guys get dates?" Erza asked the girls, leaving the boys' banter to themselves.

"Well. . . There was this candlelit dinner waiting for Gajeel and I when we went out —" her voice got cut off by gasps. "That happened to me too!" Lucy screamed. "I was just walking normally, but then all of a sudden, I was at a candlelit dinner with Natsu." Lucy explained. "That happened to me too!" Juvia yelled.

"For me, there was this street lamp randomly appearing with only one light. It was so strange." Wendy said. "That happened to me too!" Erza yelled. "Wow! We all had the same thing, but how?" Levy questioned. "I don't know. . ." The others admitted.

They then heard a stifled laugh coming from behind them. The only two people that were there were, Mira and Cana. "Cana, did you do this?" Wendy asked. "Do what~" She slurred, she was drunk again. "It couldn't be her. She's too drunk to care." Levy remarked. They heard that laugh again and turned in the other directions.

Suddenly, all the pieces fell into place; it was Mira. She was the match-maker and the only person who would do all this just for some ships. They glared at her while she just nervously laughed. "He he, bye!" She ran off.

The music playing before stoped and turned softer.

The sound of it washed away any whispers and conversations between those who weren't dancing. The music caused the ones who were dancing, to immediately change their forms. Thanks to mira, all of her ships ended up dancing together, by a mysterious push that just happened to collide them together.

Nothing out of the ordinary. Totally.

They all danced on the floor, perfectly in sync with each other. Their dancing looking perfectly coordinated, even though some of them — Natsu — have never danced before. Everyone who wasn't dancing looked in awe at how the small, dimly lit candles illuminated the area, light slighting brushing against their faces and hair.

The soft smiles on all their faces, how their snails actually reached their eyes. A real, genuine smile of them having fun. And, for the first time in the history of fairy tail, it was quiet. That was the part that shocked everyone even more. They were too busy, as they were entranced by the eyes of the person they were dancing with.

"It's so quiet. It hasn't been like this since the transfer students came." Hermione said as she and Draco danced. They were one of the few couples that weren't part of the infamous guild dancing. Their particular pairing shocked a lot of people, a mudblood and a pure blood. Who would've expected?

Throughout the entire dance, the couples; Natsu and Lucy, levy and Gajeel, Wendy and Romeo, Erza and jellal, Gray and Juvia, Mira and Laxus, hermione and Draco and Harry and Ginny, were staying perfectly together.

"They truly do look beautiful." A spectator said, still entranced with everyone else at their beauty when they're dancing with each other.
