Levy P.O.V

"Levy-chan!" I heard in a far distance. All my friends were here but only one other person that would call me that was.

"Droy?" He was dressed in a button up striped boy and white shirt in a pair of kaki overalls.

"I finished visiting Jet in the slammer. Have you had any hope in finding a guitarist?" My smile faded. I've been having so much fun with my friends I haven't had the time. I perform with Platinum 5 tomorrow.

An elbow rested on my head.

"Get on stage shrimp. Time for us to perform." I shook his elbow off my head.

"Us?" He crossed his arms batting his eyes into mine. Sighing he continued.

"You need a guitarist. I'll fill in this once." For some reason a smile formed on my face.

"Arigato." His hand hovered on mine pulling me toward the stage.

Droy's hand landed on my shoulder.

"Levy-chan. Is this really ok?" His gazed switched from me to Gajeel.

"He saved me. I owe him. In a way he is helping us out. Don't you think?" Droy fell silent but I still felt the uneasiness from him. I understand Gajeel is intimidating but he cares about me.

Droy sat down at his key board while Gajeel tuned his guitar. A server at the casino handled the drums. Everyone in the casino listened in on us.

Lisanna P.O.V

I clapped for Levy and slowly intwined my hands together.

Is what Laki showed me true?

Someone nudged my shoulder.

"Lisanna you should take this chance. Lucy seems occupied by the game of poker." I stared over and noticed a competitive aura coming from all of them while Natsu smiled wickedly.

"I don't like the feeling it gives off." I joked a little scared.

"Ugh just go." She pushed me.

Natsu P.O.V

A male joined right beside me as I watched the game go on. So far Lucy has the most chips.

"She's good at this." Bixslow noted. I became irritable.

"Why are you over here?" I shoved my hands in my pockets with my words a little harsh. Cold. He seemed taken aback not to my surprise.

"I just came to watch Lucy man. Chill out." He smirked which made me upset. I stepped closer placing my forearm on his chest.

"She's my girlfriend. She doesn't need any other fans." His cynical smile fell and he's a turned a little confused.

"I know that man. Jeez" I used my arm to push him back sending him stumbling.

"Then back off." My voice rising in aggravation.

"Natsu shut it. I'm trying to concentrate." Lucy, with her eyes glued to the cards, told me.

"Listen to your girlfriend." Bixslow agreed and I rolled up my sleeve ready to punch him. A petite hand gripped my bicep.

My face softens.

"Lisanna?" She smiles sadly with her eyes telling me no.

Rolling back down my sleeve I faced her. Bixslow relaxed.

"Natsu. Do you want to join me at the slots? I never really played them before." She asked in a low tone. I needed to get away from this guy anyway.

"Sure." She clung lightly on me as we walked over to the slot area.

Lucy P.O.V

My eyes softened in mild jealousy as I saw Natsu and Lisanna walk over to the slots.

"Heartfilia-san." The woman glared to me. I jumped.

"It's your go princess." The tall man pinched his cigarette in between his lips. We switched up from poker to slap jack.

I tossed out a queen and the next person tossed out a jack. I was too slow and all the chips went to the mafia boss looking guy.

"Lucy-san." Bixslow called me. I broke my concentration to answer.

"What is it?" He noticed at how I was losing and motioned me to get up.

"No swappies." The woman pouted. The mafia boss guy held his hand out.

"Let's let him be." The tall man blew a circle of smoke to Bixslow who only slicked his Mohawk down.

Ten minutes passed and it was amazing how fast he collected the chips and cards. Eventually he game ended with us winning.

"Thank you!" I hugged him tightly and he hugged back lightly. When I pulled away, I gladly took the money from the others.

"Nice game blondie." The tall man smirked and I bowed to them.

"Thank you and I promise my pink-haired boyfriend will not bother you guys again." The lady chuckled.

"It was hilarious how he approached us. Saying 'my gf can beat all of you at this game!' And we gladly took up the offer." I scratched my head nervously.

"I-is that so?" The mafia man stood up. He was surprisingly kind of tall.

"I like a good challenge. May we meet again. Miss Heartfilia." I grinned.

"Of course."

Erza P.O.V

Jellal and I were sitting at a round table where a masked man was doing card tricks.

Jellal was not very good at this so I helped him from time to time.

We had to find the Jack in the three cards. Once the masked dealer finished, I knew where it was right away.

"The one on the left." I whispered to him and he nodded.

"The one on the left." He spoke in his normal husky confident tone.

The masked man smirked.

"Aren't you tired of asking her what the answer is?" The man asked and I was bewildered at his sudden inquiry.

The man.......

Pulled out a gun and pointed it at Jellal.
