For the new song they changed the singers from Sting to Rogue and the style of the music became more soft and sincere. Perfect for couples who needed a slow dance as an excuse to get close. Gray and Juvia made their way to the center of the floor with their hands still linked together. Without parting, he moved his free hand to hold her waist and she moved hers to rest on top of his shoulder. When Rogue started singing they began to dance.

"I wandered around,
And finally found
The one for me.

Be my angel tonight,
Be my angel tonight."

Out of a dream,
With the light of the moon in your eyes
You give to me
Such a wonderful feeling inside

It's true, I would soar over mountains so high
With you, I'm as free as a bird in the sky
In the sky."

Juvia had never been the dancing type. In fact she had been rather clumsy on the subject and for moment she waited for herself to trip up and fall but she didn't. It was like her body moved in perfect sync with his. Soon she forgot how nervous she was and found herself feeling very calm, safe, happy, and strangely nostalgic. This all seemed so familiar to her, she had danced like this with him before, she was sure of it. But when? She didn't know. All she knew was when she was with him she felt safe and happy which she had not felt in such a long time.

"Be my angel tonight,
And we'll capture the stars
Be my angel tonight,
And together we'll fly away
On the wings of our love
Be my angel tonight."

The whole time they danced Gray couldn't stop gazing at her beautiful face and he held her as if she was the most precious thing in the world. He couldn't help himself. In his eyes she was indeed an angel, his angel and he had spent an entire lifetime looking for her. Now that he had found her he could only hope that she would accept him once he unveiled his heart to her. If she didn't then he didn't know what he would do. Of course he would respect her decision but to not have her would hurt him so deeply. Especially since he thought that he had lost her forever.

From a distance Erza noticed the two of them and she recognized the way Gray was looking at the young governess. It was a look of pure love and devotion. Which worried her. If Gray was falling in love with Juvia and he couldn't be cured of being a vampire than what would that lead to? She was the only one who noticed this. Cana, Natsu, and Lucy couldn't help but see how he looked at her. But while Lucy was happy with this, Cana and Natsu were concerned.

When the song ended the band decided to take a little break and play a CD of theirs. Most of the guests just danced freely or helped themselves to the free drinks. All in all the party seemed to be going well. Unfortunately at that exact moment Ultear pulled up in her car. She stepped out wearing a provocative black dress that showed way too much cleavage and entered the house. When Natsu saw her he knew trouble couldn't be far behind.

"Um excuse me Miss Milkovich." He said approaching her. "I don't think you should be here. You weren't exactly invited."

"Like I care if I'm invited anywhere or not." She scoffed at him. "Where's Gray?"

"None of your business. Now beat it toots."

"Fine if you won't tell me, I'll just look for him myself."

"No you can't just-"

But she had already vanished into the crowd of guests.

"Oh man this isn't going to end well."

Meanwhile Gray had led Juvia outside on to the balcony. It was a very beautiful night. Calm and cool with a sky full of stars.

"Why did you bring me out here?" Juvia asked him.

"Uh no reason." He said nervously. "It's just pretty out here and I thought you would like it."

"I do. It is nice and the view is wonderful." She looked up at the starry night sky and then back at him. "Do you mind if I share something personal with you?"

"Sure."

"I don't know why but for some reason I feel like I can tell you anything."

"Well I'm very good at keeping secret. So feel free to confess or you know um...Whatever saying you use to explain revealing secrets."

Juvia giggled and then started to look very melancholic.

"The thing is I really like it here. Everyone is so kind and welcoming, Erza pretty much treats me like I'm a member of the family." She smiled. "It's been so long since I've been in a real family."

"I know that feeling."

"I told you that my parents died when I was just a little girl and after that I went to live with my uncle but...There's more..." She tried so hard not to let her painful past memories overwhelm her. "He treated me so horribly. I don't know why, I had never done anything to him yet he felt the need to hurt me. He kept me locked up and he tried so hard to break me but I guess I was lot stronger than I thought because I never stopped hoping that one day I would get away and finally my chance came. I ran and I never looked back."

"The fact that someone from your own family would do that you is appalling." Gray said in calm anger. "You're supposed to love your family and take care of them no matter what."

"I guess he just didn't have any love for me."

She looked away from him and down from the balcony. She let one tear slide down her cheek as she wondered why it was that her uncle just couldn't be kind to her. She thought it was pathetic that it still upset her to this day. She felt Gray's hand gently touch her cheek and she turned to look at him.

"How could anyone not love you?" He asked.

She smiled softly and blinked away her oncoming tears.

"You know out of all the people I've met and known here, you're the one I feel most close to." She confessed. "I can't explain it but I feel like I've known you all my life. When we first met I felt like I already knew what kind of person you were. That doesn't make sense does it?"

"No. It makes perfect sense to me." He said.

"I thought it would, that's why I told you."

For a moment the two of them just stood in silence and enjoyed the beauty of the night atmosphere. Gray took a deep breath and pulled a little box from his jacket.

"I have something for you." He said.

"Really?"

"I hope you like it."

He handed her the small gift. Opened it up and inside was the lovely music box he had showed her that time in the library.

"Gray this is Juliette's music box."

"I know and now it's yours."

"I can't accept this."

"Do you not like it?"

"Oh no I do. I think it's wonderful but this is a very important keepsake to your family. It should stay in your family."

"I think you should have it because I can't imagine giving it to any other woman."

"Thank you. I promise I'll keep it with me for the rest of my life."

She opened the music box and listened to it's tune again. Like before she had that feeling that she had heard it many times before and it gave her the most joyful feeling in heart. It made her feel like she was loved.

Seeing her so happy and looking so lovely, Gray just couldn't contain his feelings. He moved closer to her she was bit surprised by this but didn't move away. Not even when he leaned in.

"I might kiss you." He whispered when they were centimeters apart.

"I might want you to." She whispered back.

His lips brushed against hers, giving a soft but passionate and long awaited kiss. A kiss which bonded two lovers who had been apart for too long and finally found each other. It was like an unspoken promise that they would never let anything separate them again. It would be a touching sight to some but their only witness to it was disgusted by the entire display.

Ultear dragged her nails down the wooden pillar of the room and as she watched the couple kiss on the balcony. Just as they did all those years ago. It infuriated her that once again Gray was going to choose some pretty but powerless creature to share his wealth and status with. She just couldn't understand what he saw in Juvia. What did she have that seduced him into giving her his heart? Sure she had a pretty face but she wasn't rich, she wasn't a member of high society, and she certainly didn't have any power.

Nevertheless Ultear would not let them be together. Not in this life, not any life, not as long as she lived. She would not stand for this humiliation and he would regret rejecting her again. She would personally see to that.
