She's wearing an off-shoulder gown, the color of the top is white with a cerulean flower and an embroidered pink flower with brown branches. The gown's sleeve has three layers of lace attached to it that reach her above the elbow. The color of the bottom is a mixture of blue and violet that has cerulean and white flowers. Lucy's hairstyles have curly hair at the tip of her hair and braided with delicate-like flowers and dark leaves, Lucy's bangs are straightened and let down in front of her face to shape her delicate cute face. Finishing the look with a pair of royal blue heels, wearing a light lip gloss, Lucy does not need to wear any kind of make-up as she has a natural beauty.
"Woah." – is the only thing that can come to their mouths.
"I didn't know what to wear so I picked whatever was packed." - she said grabbing a strawberry to eat.
"Is it bad?" – Lucy asks, looking down pouting and sulking as she assumes that she does not look good in her outfit for the ball.
"NO!" – they shouted at the same time, realizing what they just did, all of the guys blushed hard in embarrassment and shyness.
"Who made that dress, princess?" – Louis inquired.
"That's a secret." – she swallows another strawberry then brings a finger to her mouth indicating an 'ssh' symbol.
"Well, let's go Akito-san, a ball waits for our arrival, your family must be worried now and wondering if you'll be coming."
"Alright." – he chuckles, moving away from the full-out frozen bunch gesturing his arm for the girl to hold like a gentleman.
"I will bring her back not too late."
"Have fun! I'll take care of Happy when he comes back without you here, bye and enjoy!" – Ema shouted over watching the two disappear in the elevator doors after getting a wave out of the enchanting blonde girl.
Lucy got into Akito's car as he opened and closed the passenger door, Akito walked towards the driver's seat, then drove away from the Asahina residence to their destination. They drove off in a comfortable silence to the right destination, Lucy watched as the lights lit up in the city before glancing at the sky. It was incredibly beautiful and bewitching as she zoned out identifying each constellation and was happy to find Loke, Virgo, and Capricorn. After half an hour, they've finally arrived with many fancy rich cars in their surroundings, this one area. Akito opened Lucy's door, gesturing for her hand as he helped her out.
"So, what is this ball necessarily for?" – Lucy got out sliding her hand in the crook of Akito's arm as she fixes her dress.
"It's for my eldest brother who is going to pick from a line of girls for a potential partner." – he sighed helplessly, truth to be told, Akito would rather be in the hospital doing what a doctor should do at this hour of the day.
"I mean now you got yourself a date, Akito-san." – Lucy grins making him slightly blush and turn away hiding his blushing cheek. 'Despite him being serious most of the time, it's cute to catch him off guard'.
"You can just call me Akito, there's no need for formalities." – he said as they walk through the white mahogany doors, once they did, they were already greeted with many stares. Lucy straightened up her posture like how her ethics teacher taught her when she was still under Jude's care. She's completely used to these kinds of events from back when she was the Heartfillia heiress and a crown princess.
"Is my dress too much?" – Lucy asks as they started to walk to a group of distinguished people.
"You look beautiful, it's fine they just never see me come to parties like this or bring someone with me as a partner." – he chuckles making Lucy blush with a beaming smile at him.
"There you are, Akito, I didn't think you'd come." – a tall man with a beard and mustache said, wearing a dark blue suit, with a woman who was clinging onto his arm, wearing a big poufy dress with a thick frosting of make-up.
"Of course, I'd come... (Akito sighs before gesturing his hand towards Lucy) ...this is one of my friends, Lucy Heartfillia."
"Please to meet you both." – Lucy releases her arm to curtsy generously at the two.
"What a beautiful dress you have on, it's not too much but not too little, my name is Haruka Satami, the girlfriend of the man right here." – the black-haired woman with green eyes said smiling.
"My name is Eiji Okumura, Akito's father." – the tall man grins as he looks down at her.
"You sure you ain't his girlfriend?"
"Dad!" – Akito scowled blushing all over getting Lucy to giggle before pulling her away from the chuckling couple to dance with her on the dance floor in the middle of the ballroom. Lucy kept trying to get her partner to loosen up a little and have fun throughout the night. People have come up to them often to compliment how good we looked together.
"Woah, to who could think you can get yourself a date, Akito." – A man interrupted us dancing as we pulled to the side, taking a good look. He is a man who looked like Akito, but this man has an appearance of a smugly and arrogant guy. Taking a glance at Lucy's date for the night, it seemed he didn't like his brother even one bit.
"This is my friend, Lucy Heartfillia..." – Akito gestured as Lucy felt the man's eyes roam to her body, perverted or maybe lecherously, Akito notices Lucy's uncomfortable state as she steps closer to him, and Lucy is holding Akito's arm quite tightly. So, he steps forward a little to cover his brother's view from Lucy.
"And this is my eldest brother, Daichi Okumura."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lucy." – he tried to grab Lucy's hand, but she dodged it by saying; That's not a necessary action. This act infuriated Akito's brother as he gritted his teeth silently. 'He's like Loke, but this feels worse in a sense', Lucy thought negatively.
"It's nice to meet you too, Daichi-san..." – Lucy curtsied before taking a glance at his brother who was openly glaring at Akito.
"I wish you happiness in your future partner."
"It would be nice if you were my future partner." – Daichi said as he tips Lucy's chin before Akito grabs her away from him.
"I wouldn't advise you to do that." – Akito stated coldly, getting Lucy shocked at the sudden coldness and stiffness in his voice.
"Oh?" – Daichi raised an eyebrow in amusement, feeling the spark between them as Lucy quickly decided to intervene so it wouldn't cause too much of a scene at the ball.
"Please excuse us." – Lucy bowed smiling, dragging off the heated Akito to a table, and sat down.
"I'm sorry you had to see that." – Akito rubbed his temples as Lucy took his hand into hers, intertwining it.
"There's no need to apologize, it was interesting to meet your family, even your pervert and jerk of a brother." – Lucy smiles softly at the blushing man.
"Plus, I practically came here on my own volition, so now let's go and have fun. Don't let your ass of a brother ruin our night!" – Lucy cheered which made Akito smiles widely showing his charming face that catches some women's attention.
It's Monday and many classes are currently decorating the school for the festival, while choosing the student committee for the class, they have put their input into what they could have. Finalizing on a café and getting measurements for each one, all they had to decide is a theme...
"Why not try a royal theme, we did a maid last year." – a student suggested thinking of Lucy as their princess or maybe queen and Ryosuke as their prince or king.
"That sounds nice, especially since we have both the prince and princess of the school in our class." – a girl's sparkling eyes gesturing to the two sitting next to each other, looking bored as they play a tic-tac-toe.
"But we also need something to attract others." – a guy sighed.
"It could be hard for the girls to walk in dresses."
"That can be too classy...how about something scary."
"Scary and attractive? What will go for them?"
"How about a vampire café then?" – Lucy questioned, catching everyone's attention.
"Why do you suggest a vampire café, Lu-chan?" – Ema asked
"Well, we want something that can attract others while being a monster, vampires are known to be one of the good-looking creatures out there. We can interact with our customers in a dark mood to match the tempo. I can deal with the outfits and such since it's in a few days, I'll ask for help from my family back at my home place." – she tilted her head.
"Alright, I guess we can take it to a vote, who here I..." – before the president can finish all hands shoot up making the girls giggle.
"Are you sure you don't need help, Lucy?" – Ryosuke questioned, looking over the blonde girl.
"I already gave a mental note to Virgo, so it'll be done by tomorrow." – she chuckles crossing her arms.
"Now that I think of it, I think Fuuto is performing somewhere in the week for the festival, so many other schools were invited for this year's school festival." – Yuusuke joined the group as the class started to decorate and create things.
"A-Ano Lucy-sama..." – a girl whispered getting the blonde's attention.
"Yes?"
"I...I made some s-strawberry cookies f-for you." – she stutters, holding out a bag filled with cutely shaped strawberry cookies.
"Uwaa! Strawberries!" – Lucy shouted with sparkling eyes as she jumped up and down, hugging the girl, saying a 'thank you' with a peck on the cheeks, she automatically dived in leaving an exploded blushing girl.
"Yummy!"
