Escort Services (Lance Knighthunter)

Job:

Lance sat on his bed in the guild as Lea walked in with a letter "Dad you got a letter in the mail!" she said with a smile as she handed it to him . Lance took the letter and opened in only to have a smile appear on his face. It was a letter from a girl he had previously went on a 'Date' with for a job in Era.... well.... before it was destroyed. He looked at the Letter and began to read:

Dear Lance,
I would like to that you for the wonderful night that you gave me in Era. I saw you fighting in the recent events that happened there and I wanted to make sure you were alright and not dead. Anyway, Thank you for making me be less rude and have a smile on my face again. With thanks, Julie. PS: You have really come up in the world!

Lance put the letter down and smiled "Who is Julie?" Lea asked, cocking her head a bit as she did. Lance laughed a little "Well Lea, The story goes like this..." he began.

The beautiful blue sky and the bright sun shone down on him Lance walked the streets of Magnolia. The streets were unusually busy that day but it came to a surprise to him when a girl came up and asked him a question "You don't look all that rich, but you will have to do I guess.... You wanna go to a ball with me?" she asked in a kind of rushed but rude tone. The girl had beautiful blonde hair and green eyes as well as a pretty good body. Lance stared at her for a second then burst out laughing "Wow you must be really desperate! Sure I will go with you." he said with a smile as the girl handed him a card with a straight face "I didn't like that joke... anyways here the place were the ball is taking place." she said then walked off.

Lance looked at the card and sighed "I kind of wanted this week to be not busy but one job wont hurt I guess..." he muttered as he went back to his room in the guild to pack his bags for Era.

The night of the ball came and Lance found himself standing in front of a tall building with shiny lights on it and when he walked it got even more beautiful. The inside was lit by candles and a chandelier hanging down from the ceiling "Wow..." Lance muttered as he looked around with a childish gleam in his eye until a voice was heard behind him "Took you long enough to show up!" the girl said as he turned around and scratched the back of his head "Sorry about that..." he said with a smile. The girl shrugged "I guess we can dance now..." she muttered as she grabbed his hand abruptly and pulled him onto the floor.

Lance slowly danced "This is the first time I have danced in a while..." Lance said shyly as the girl stared at him with some interest on her face "Really?" she sounded interesting for a second then immediately turned back to her normal self "I don't need to know that..." she muttered and looked away from him.

Lance grimaced "What's wrong with you..." Lance thought in his mind as he kept dancing.

Lance kept dancing with the girl in silence until he couldn't take it anymore "You never told me your name miss and I would like to know the person I am dancing with." he said with a smile. The girl didn't turn her heads to look at him but instead just simply said "Julie..." she said in a quiet tone. Lance smiled at the name "That's a nice name Julie..." he told he and she quickly blushed "Sh-shut up!" she said immediately but with a feint smile. Lance was surprised that she hadn't finished dancing yet.

It silent again but this time Lance asked her a deep question "Say Julie, what happened to make you so rude and mean?" he said quietly and he could tell she was not happy with the question as her face scowled and turned red as she grabbed his hands tighter. "Please tell me..." Lance asked her in a pleading tone "I want to help you..." he said, and that's when she snapped.

Julie turned on him just like that "I don't need any help!" she said as she let go of his hands and tears filled her eyes "My mom died and no one can change that!" she said as she ran outside crying. Lance stared at her as she left and closed his eyes "So that's the reason..." he muttered as he chased after her. As he chased after her images of his childhood played in his mind and how his family got murdered by his uncle. Lance couldn't let this chance go to waste... He head to find her and fast.

When he finally found her she was in an empty street with her head up against the wall crying. He approached her quietly and placed a hand on her shoulder "I think I get you now..." he muttered as the girl turned around but didn't look at him "How could anyone like you get how I feel?" she said through her tears. Lance just smiled and continued "When I was younger my family got killed by my uncle..." he said quietly. The girl still didn't meet his eye so Lance put his hand on the side of her face and gently nudged it so that she was look at him "Don't think about what happened in the past but instead think about your future and how you want to live..." he said with a calm smile as she looked at him in the eyes and hugged him "Thank you... Lance..." she said quietly and as she pulled away a smile had appeared on her face and Lance nodded "No problem..." he said as he took her hand "Lets go back to the ball now." he said as he walked her all the way back and they danced through the rest of the night with smiles on their face.

"Oohh so that's who she is." Lea said with a smile as she sat next to Lance on his bed "I thought she was another one of my moms." Lea said with a sly grin as Lance's face went red "You have no moms!" Lance said embarrassed and put the letter down on his side table. Lea got up and laughed "Come on Dad, I know who you like!" she said and Lance started to walk out of the room "You are just to shy to tell her!" she called out "I am not!" he yelled as he was heading down the stairs.

Lance walked outside on the streets of magnolia as he did just like that day he met Julie for the first time and he smiled as he thought about the time in Era and how it was a life changing experience for him as well as Julie.
