[00:02] ---
    Work! Work!
[00:07] ---
    Let's see...
[00:08] ---
    Natsu! How about this one?
[00:12] ---
    Whoever catches the fugitive, Velveno,
[00:16] ---
    shall receive 4,000,000 jewel!
[00:18] ---
    That's great! I'm broke right now,
    so that totally fits the bill!
[01:54] ---
    It's settled!
[01:56] ---
    It's not just up to you to decide!
[01:59] ---
    Well, we need the dough, too, so why not?
[02:03] ---
    This Velveno is an escaped convict
[02:05] ---
    that Gray set out to catch
    a long time ago, isn't he?
[02:08] ---
    Although if I recall right, the reward
    at the time was 400,000 jewel!
[02:12] ---
    He must've gotten valuable
    these past seven years...
[02:15] ---
    Who's the client?
[02:17] ---
    Um... It says Count Balsamico...
[02:20] ---
    That's a sour name!
[02:22] ---
    Like balsamic vinegar!
[02:24] ---
    Balsamico?
[02:26] ---
    Hey, I heard that Velveno
    guy is gonna show up
[02:29] ---
    at the Balsamico family's magical ball.
[02:33] ---
    Magical ball?
[02:35] ---
    It's a ball that's held once every seven
    years and only wizards can attend.
[02:41] ---
    I believe it's next Saturday.
[02:43] ---
    Then let's go to the ball
    and capture Velveno!
[02:48] ---
    Yeah! I'm gettin' fired up!
[02:51] ---
    Let's head out!
[02:52] ---
    Yeah!
[02:53] ---
    Wait a sec!
[02:55] ---
    If you're gonna participate in a ball,
    you'll have to practice dancing!
[03:00] ---
    Dance?!
[03:05] ---
    Magical Ball!
[03:09] ---
    We'll start with the basic steps.
[03:11] ---
    Okay, hold my hands.
[03:13] ---
    Jeez, this is a pain in the ass...
[03:19] ---
    What are Natsu-nii and Lucy-nee trying to do?
[03:22] ---
    Social dancing!
[03:24] ---
    Social dancing? What's that?
[03:27] ---
    Ow!
[03:28] ---
    Sorry 'bout that!
[03:31] ---
    So it's a game where you
    step on each other's feet...
[03:33] ---
    I don't think that's the aim...
[03:35] ---
    Social dancing is where a man and
    woman pair up and dance at a ball.
[03:41] ---
    Huh...
[03:44] ---
    That looks like a fun game!
[03:46] ---
    It's not a game!
[03:47] ---
    Let me do it, too!
[03:49] ---
    You just disqualified yourself!
[03:53] ---
    Gray-sama is going to dance
    flirtatiously behind Juvia's back...?
[03:58] ---
    If it means being able to dance with
    Gray-sama, Juvia will strip, too!
[04:04] ---
    I was once known as the "Dancing Demon",
[04:07] ---
    so if you want to learn social
    dancing, leave it to me.
[04:08] ---
    Erza!
[04:10] ---
    Requip!
[04:11] ---
    All right, Natsu! Let's go!
[04:13] ---
    Nah, I'll pass.
[04:15] ---
    No excuses! Dancing is all about...
[04:18] ---
    ...fighting spirit!
[04:21] ---
    I'm gonna throw up!
[04:23] ---
    Anybody who dances with Erza always
    gets sick to their stomach.
[04:26] ---
    You can see why she was
    called the "Dancing Demon".
[04:30] ---
    I guess I'll have to be the one
    who teaches Natsu how to dance.
[04:33] ---
    No, I'm gonna take a little break...
[04:37] ---
    That's it, Natsu! Let your shoulders relax!
[04:40] ---
    I can't take any more!
[04:43] ---
    How can an adult be that delicate?!
    And you call yourself a Man?!
[04:47] ---
    Elfman, you're up next!
[04:51] ---
    A Man... gets sick!
[04:54] ---
    Is this social dancing? It's lovely!
[04:57] ---
    Shall we dance?
[05:01] ---
    I'd love to.
[05:06] ---
    Huh! Wendy's great at dancing!
[05:10] ---
    But why is she dancing with Warren?
[05:13] ---
    Shall we dance?
[05:16] ---
    If you insist...
[05:18] ---
    Let's you and me try dancing, too!
[05:20] ---
    Sure! It looks like fun!
[05:24] ---
    Would you give me the honor
    of a dance, young lady?
[05:28] ---
    Of course.
[05:29] ---
    Yesss!
[05:31] ---
    Bastard! Taking advantage of
    this chaos is playin' dirty!
[05:33] ---
    Shut up and get outta the way!
[05:36] ---
    Dad...
[05:37] ---
    Hey!
[05:37] ---
    W-What?!
[05:39] ---
    Just so you know, I ain't gonna dance!
[05:41] ---
    Well, nobody's asking you to!
[05:45] ---
    Levy, dance with me!
[05:48] ---
    What the hell?! I said it first!
[05:49] ---
    I was first!
[05:50] ---
    It was me!
[05:51] ---
    No, me!
[05:54] ---
    I guess I have no choice if you're
    gonna be like that about it...
[05:57] ---
    But, I didn't say anything...
[05:59] ---
    What the hell is that?!
[06:01] ---
    When it comes to dance, I'm the master!
[06:03] ---
    Visitar, your dances are
    something else entirely!
[06:06] ---
    To be frank, you're just in the way here!
[06:09] ---
    This has become a big fuss
    right under my nose...
[06:13] ---
    But... somewhere along the
    line, I lost my partner!
[06:17] ---
    You called?
[06:19] ---
    No, I sure didn't!
[06:21] ---
    Huh... You're really good at dancing.
[06:24] ---
    As a member of the Heartfilia family,
[06:26] ---
    you need to be raised as a
    proper lady, Lucy-sama. Thus...
[06:30] ---
    Yeah, yeah. But I think this
    is a little overkill...
[06:33] ---
    That matters not. Let's take
    it from the top once more.
[06:42] ---
    And this is Balsamico
    Palace, home of the client.
[06:48] ---
    We made it!
[06:50] ---
    So the magical ball's gonna
    be held in this palace, huh?
[06:54] ---
    It was farther away than I thought.
[06:56] ---
    That can't be helped. We're
    doing it for the dance!
[06:59] ---
    You shouldn't have tagged along
    if you're only doing it to dance!
[07:05] ---
    May I ask who you people are?
[07:07] ---
    She's a real dish!
[07:09] ---
    There's no need to mentally shout that!
[07:12] ---
    Who are you?
[07:13] ---
    I'm Aceto, daughter of Balsamico,
    lord of this palace.
[07:19] ---
    That's a name you'd probably
    bite your tongue saying!
[07:21] ---
    Warren!
[07:23] ---
    I'm Natsu of Fairy Tail!
[07:26] ---
    We've accepted the request
    of your father, the Count.
[07:31] ---
    In that case, I'll show you in.
[07:33] ---
    This way, please.
[07:38] ---
    I'm Count Balsamico, the client.
[07:44] ---
    He's not only got a sour name...
[07:46] ---
    His face is sour, too!
[07:47] ---
    Clam it, you two!
[07:50] ---
    Getting down to business, it's
    a little more complicated
[07:54] ---
    than what I wrote in the request.
[07:56] ---
    Let us hear the details.
[07:58] ---
    It's about the apple of my
    eye, my beautiful daughter...
[08:02] ---
    What was her name again? Tonguebite-san?
[08:04] ---
    Aceto!
[08:06] ---
    My apologies. Please continue.
[08:09] ---
    Actually, my daughter's husband will be
    decided at this evening's magical ball.
[08:14] ---
    What?! Her husband?!
[08:17] ---
    For that purpose, I've got a ring that
    only comes out once every seven years.
[08:21] ---
    It's a precious ring that
    the Balsamico family
[08:23] ---
    has handed down from
    generation to generation.
[08:26] ---
    Then Velveno has his eye on the ring?
[08:29] ---
    Indeed. In truth, Velveno went after
    the ring seven years ago, but failed.
[08:35] ---
    As a result, though, the husband
    selection process was ruined.
[08:38] ---
    But with a face like this, even disguised,
[08:42] ---
    wouldn't Velveno be easy to catch
    if he tried to sneak into the ball?
[08:45] ---
    He uses Transformation
    Magic and Magical Drain.
[08:49] ---
    Magical Drain? What's that?
[08:52] ---
    It's a truly troublesome form of magic
    that lets him copy the magic powers
[08:57] ---
    of whatever wizard he touches
    for a short period of time.
[09:00] ---
    Huh! That ain't too shabby!
[09:03] ---
    I want you to combine your powers
    and protect the ring from Velveno!
[09:08] ---
    Then capture the scoundrel
    and send him back to prison!
[09:13] ---
    We've got you covered!
[09:14] ---
    We won't let you down, sir!
[09:16] ---
    And just to make sure, if we catch Velveno,
[09:19] ---
    you'll follow through with what
    was written on the request form...
[09:21] ---
    Indeed. I'll pay 4,000,000 jewel in cash.
[09:25] ---
    Yesss!
[09:27] ---
    Cash! Right when I need it the most!
[09:35] ---
    Perfect-ebi.
[09:38] ---
    What if I'm so cute that
    somebody proposes to me?!
[09:41] ---
    Lucy, are you ready?
[09:45] ---
    Why are you in serious mode?!
[09:48] ---
    Work or not, this is the
    minimum amount of decorum due
[09:51] ---
    when participating in a ball.
[09:54] ---
    Do I look okay?
[09:57] ---
    Wendy, you look super cute!
[09:59] ---
    But I'm a little embarrassed...
[10:03] ---
    Come on! The ball's curtain is going up!
[10:07] ---
    We're getting up on stage, too!
[10:09] ---
    Erza is into this as much
    as she was acting that time!
[10:13] ---
    Okay! I'll do my best, too!
[10:15] ---
    But first I have to cast Troia on Natsu.
[10:25] ---
    Warren, anyone here seem
    like they could be Velveno?
[10:29] ---
    I used a surveillance lacrima
    to investigate the whole place,
[10:32] ---
    but there's no sign of him at the moment.
[10:35] ---
    We'll let you know the second
    we spot a suspicious character!
[10:38] ---
    Until then, try to act naturally.
[10:42] ---
    Where are Natsu and the rest?
[10:44] ---
    There they are!
[10:46] ---
    Lucy and the others are here, too.
[10:48] ---
    Then why don't we blend in with
    the other guests and dance?
[10:52] ---
    Th-That's... Man!
[10:54] ---
    What are you nervous about?!
[10:56] ---
    Still, is Velveno really going to
    show up at a glitzy place like this?
[11:02] ---
    All we can do is look for a suspicious
    guy without ruffling any feathers...
[11:07] ---
    Hey there, baby!
[11:11] ---
    No frownin' now! C'mon, cut the rug with me!
[11:16] ---
    Some suspicious guy just
    invited Erza to dance!
[11:19] ---
    Check him out!
[11:21] ---
    Gotcha.
[11:23] ---
    Fine.
[11:25] ---
    Poor guy...
[11:28] ---
    I figured...
[11:30] ---
    That the guy?!
[11:33] ---
    The world is spinning!
    I mean, more than usual!
[11:36] ---
    You don't have enough spirit!
[11:38] ---
    About Erza, we, uh...
[11:40] ---
    ...don't have to worry about her.
[11:42] ---
    Shall we dance?
[11:44] ---
    Y-Yes!
[11:47] ---
    Now someone asked Lucy to dance!
[11:49] ---
    He's suspiciously good-looking!
[11:52] ---
    You should check him out.
[11:54] ---
    So Lucy's next...
[11:56] ---
    Let's go!
[11:58] ---
    Since you won't take "no" for an answer...
[12:01] ---
    ...we have no choice but to dance!
[12:03] ---
    What the hell's your problem?!
[12:05] ---
    We didn't ask you!
[12:07] ---
    Alright! I'll handle this...
[12:09] ---
    May I have this dance?
[12:13] ---
    Man! This is what a Man is!
[12:16] ---
    I'm so happy I was born a Man!
[12:18] ---
    It's fishy for a beautiful woman
    like that to go up to Elfman!
[12:22] ---
    If she's Velveno, she probably intends
    to drain Elfman's Beast Soul power!
[12:28] ---
    The woman who asked Elfman
    to dance is suspect!
[12:31] ---
    We're on our way!
[12:35] ---
    How dreamy!
[12:54] ---
    Elfman! Let Gray take over!
[12:57] ---
    Forget it!
[12:58] ---
    What?!
[13:00] ---
    When you're in love, the bigger the
    obstacle, the more fired up you become!
[13:03] ---
    And that is precisely...
[13:05] ---
    ...a Man!
[13:10] ---
    Time for a new partner.
[13:12] ---
    You're a pretty nice-looking guy yourself.
[13:14] ---
    Being a guest here at the magical ball
    must mean you're a wizard, too, right?
[13:19] ---
    What kind of magic can you use?
[13:21] ---
    Oh, my. Before asking a lady about magic,
[13:24] ---
    it's proper for a gentleman to say
    what kind of magic he does first.
[13:29] ---
    Unfortunately, I have no
    interest in being a gentleman.
[13:32] ---
    Oh? In that case, I'll show you mine first.
[13:36] ---
    Ice Make Swan!
[13:40] ---
    She uses the same kind of
    Ice Make Magic that I use?
[13:43] ---
    Alright, it's my turn!
[13:45] ---
    Ice Make Kite!
[13:54] ---
    Okay, how about this?
[13:56] ---
    Ice Make Polar Bear!
[14:01] ---
    Ice Make Prison!
[14:05] ---
    I love when it gets intense like this!
[14:08] ---
    Ice Bazooka!
[14:10] ---
    Me too! Ice Cannon!
[14:15] ---
    If you'll excuse me...
[14:19] ---
    You two, that's enough!
[14:23] ---
    It looks like things have gotten
    out of hand, as usual...
[14:28] ---
    Aceto-san has come out!
[14:57] ---
    Aceto, it seems that you're so beautiful,
    no one dares ask you for a dance.
[15:01] ---
    Your dazzling beauty is too Manly!
[15:04] ---
    Although I'm a woman...
[15:06] ---
    Excuse me. May I have this dance?
[15:10] ---
    Why not?
[15:15] ---
    Ah! Why is Erza dancing?!
[15:18] ---
    Don't ask me!
[15:20] ---
    Um... Would you care to dance?
[15:23] ---
    S-Sure...
[15:28] ---
    Who the hell is that little kid?!
[15:30] ---
    He's way too young for her!
[15:33] ---
    Relax!
[15:34] ---
    The ball's over at midnight
    and it's nearly that time.
[15:43] ---
    W-What the...?!
[15:45] ---
    It begins at last!
[15:47] ---
    What begins?
[15:50] ---
    The unveiling of the ring.
[15:51] ---
    That giant grandfather's clock
    only opens once every seven years,
[15:56] ---
    releasing a device that displays the ring.
[15:59] ---
    And following Balsamico family
    tradition, whatever man
[16:02] ---
    can obtain the ring from there has
    the right to propose to my daughter!
[16:07] ---
    The man who gets the ring...?
[16:15] ---
    What's going on?
[16:16] ---
    I'll investigate!
[16:17] ---
    I'll go with you!
[16:20] ---
    Okay! Those of you men who would propose
    to my daughter, go for that ring!
[16:26] ---
    If you're a Man, propose!
[16:29] ---
    What would you even do if you proposed?!
[16:37] ---
    The boy Wendy was dancing with!
[16:39] ---
    Are you alright?!
[16:41] ---
    A guy with an afro grabbed
    me right before I came in!
[16:44] ---
    Velveno!
[16:46] ---
    Then the person who's with Wendy is...
[16:50] ---
    Wendy! That guy is Velveno!
[16:54] ---
    Transformation Cancellation!
[17:00] ---
    Roar of the Sky Dragon!
[17:10] ---
    You've all witnessed me, Velveno,
    taking the Balsamico ring!
[17:14] ---
    Velveno...
[17:16] ---
    You! Return that ring!
[17:18] ---
    This is finally getting interesting!
[17:20] ---
    I'm your opponent!
[17:23] ---
    Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!
[17:26] ---
    Iron Fist of the Fire Dragon!
[17:28] ---
    Say what?!
[17:32] ---
    Roar of the Fire Dragon!
[17:34] ---
    Fire Dragon's Roar!
[17:41] ---
    While we were all dancing,
    I drained your power, too!
[17:46] ---
    Then your opponent is me.
[17:48] ---
    Gray! Elfman! Keep Aceto-dono safe!
[17:51] ---
    Leave it to me!
[17:53] ---
    Man!
[17:54] ---
    Requip! Purgatory Armor!
[17:58] ---
    Requip! Purgatory Armor!
[18:05] ---
    It's no use!
[18:06] ---
    I've already copied the magic of
    every member of Fairy Tail here!
[18:14] ---
    Perfect! I've always wanted
    to throw down with a copycat,
[18:18] ---
    just to see how far he can take it!
[18:21] ---
    Hold it right there, boss. I didn't come
    here tonight to brawl with you guys.
[18:25] ---
    Wha...?
[18:26] ---
    I failed last time, but have waited
    patiently these seven years...
[18:33] ---
    ...to propose to you, Aceto.
[18:39] ---
    Propose?!
[18:42] ---
    We've been chums ever since we were kids,
[18:45] ---
    but I've always been madly in love with you!
[18:50] ---
    I allowed you, the son of a servant,
    to be my daughter's playmate!
[18:54] ---
    Have you forgotten that debt?!
[18:57] ---
    Ever since you drove me out of the
    mansion, I came back again and again
[19:00] ---
    to visit Aceto, but every time, you used
    the difference in our social positions
[19:04] ---
    as an excuse to turn me away at the gate!
[19:07] ---
    Papa, I never heard about that!
[19:09] ---
    Never mind! Hush your mouth, daughter!
[19:12] ---
    For a while, I accepted your
    reasoning and gave up on Aceto.
[19:17] ---
    But because of that, my heart grew
    wild, I got involved in crime,
[19:22] ---
    and before I knew it, ended up in prison!
[19:26] ---
    What's he goin' on about?!
[19:28] ---
    Wait...
[19:30] ---
    But every minute I was in jail, I regretted
    not letting you know how I felt!
[19:37] ---
    That's why I broke out, so
    I could take this chance
[19:40] ---
    that only comes around
    once every seven years!
[19:42] ---
    And this is the second time for it!
[19:52] ---
    Aceto, be my wife!
[19:59] ---
    How romantic...
[20:01] ---
    N-Nothing!
[20:04] ---
    O-Of course she refuses!
[20:09] ---
    Yes.
[20:13] ---
    Yes?!
[20:15] ---
    Aceto!
[20:17] ---
    Velveno, I've been waiting
    all this time for you, too!
[20:21] ---
    Really?!
[20:22] ---
    You'll really become my wife?!
[20:26] ---
    Except...
[20:28] ---
    You'll have to turn yourself in
    and pay for your crimes first.
[20:34] ---
    I'll do it.
[20:44] ---
    Wonderful!
[20:46] ---
    Hah?
[20:47] ---
    It's like a fairy tale!
[20:48] ---
    I'm moved!
[20:50] ---
    There you have it.
[20:51] ---
    Yeah! That's being a Man!
[20:54] ---
    I don't know about this...
[20:56] ---
    Let's wish these two luck
    with a round of applause!
[21:09] ---
    Well, I have to go.
[21:11] ---
    I swear that I'll wait for you...
[21:13] ---
    Yeah. And I swear I'll come back for you.
[21:23] ---
    Um... About the reward...
[21:25] ---
    There's no way I'm gonna pay it!
[21:29] ---
    All right! I say we dance
    the rest of the night away
[21:32] ---
    to pray for Aceto-dono's happiness!
[21:34] ---
    Yeah!
[21:44] ---
    What a way for it to turn out...
[21:52] ---
    I hope someone proposes
    to me like that someday!
[21:56] ---
    Lucy...
[21:59] ---
    I...
[22:03] ---
    I ate so much I'm bloated, so I'm goin' home!
[22:06] ---
    O-Oh, is that right?
[22:09] ---
    Come on, don't be like that! Hang
    out a little longer with me!
[22:14] ---
    C-Cut it out!
[22:16] ---
    1-2-3! 1-2-3! Stop stepping on my feet!
[22:20] ---
    The Troia ran out...
[22:22] ---
    L-Let me off!
[23:55] ---
    Jeez, when are you gonna get
    used to transportation, Natsu?
[24:01] ---
    That's why I warned against this!
[24:03] ---
    You knew this job would involve having
    to get on some transportation, right?
[24:07] ---
    W-What's happening? It looks like
    the whole world is spinning!
[24:10] ---
    It's not the world that's
    spinning, Natsu, it's your eyes!
[24:13] ---
    Next time: The Truly Evil Jiggle Butt Gang!
[24:16] ---
    Oh! B-Butt...
[24:18] ---
    Huh? Your behind?
[24:20] ---
    What are you talking about?
[24:21] ---
    Butt... My butt is spinning, too!
[24:23] ---
