Chapter 1

It was just another ordinary day for Lucy, she woke up in the small abandoned apartment that she had made her home for the last few months and got dressed. She did her hair in her trademark half-up style with a blue ribbon, put on her sleeveless, dirty white dress shirt with a blue cross in the middle and a blue skirt with her brown, tattered boots.

She took a quick look at herself in her old, but surprisingly not cracked, mirror. She had been living on the streets ever since she was 10 years old. Her parents had been in a terrible car crash and sadly, not come out alive. She looked so much like her mother. The same beautiful blonde hair, the same big, hazel eyes, and the same bright smile.

The sounds of cars going past had shaken her from her daydream, but not before a single tear had escaped her eye. She hurriedly wiped her cheek and stood up from the floor. 'No point thinking about that now!'

"Plue!" Her frown was replaced by a large grin as her dog came running toward her with a piece of paper in his mouth. She never really knew what breed he was, but she never really cared, he was once her mother's, and she loved him with all her heart. "What you got there boy?" she asked, puzzled

She grabbed the piece of paper from the small, white puppy and held it to her face.

"Attention music lovers," she read aloud, "Auditions for a female singer/guitarist for the band 'Glitter' held this afternoon at central park. Those wishing to audition are to come today at 1:25pm with a song prepared. Ages 17-20.''

"Pun puun~!"

"Glitter?" she had heard about them, briefly. She would occasionally walk past a group of giggling girls talking about how hot they thought the lead singer and drummer were, or swipe a magazine off of an unsuspecting citizen. They looked like the typically rich, famous, stuck up band with egos the size of Jupiter. She would have refused, but she knew she really didn't have a choice. It was getting harder and harder to produce enough money to feed Plue, let alone the both of them.

She would often sing at the park in the morning for tips, go into town in the afternoon to pick up a few watches or handbags left hanging around and buy whatever food she could with the money she had earned that day, then finally, before returning home, she would trade whatever she managed to get her hands on that day for money that she would set aside for a rainy day.

She wasn't happy that she stole things from people, but it really was the only way. Unless… Unless somehow… she managed to get into this band! They make lots of money, so it would make her life a lot easier, besides, apparently there are dorms at the recording studio that let the artists stay for a small amount of money.

Lucy practically flew out the door after taking a quick glance at her old, batted up digital clock sitting on her dusty bedside table. 13:23, it was a 5 minute walk to the park, but maybe if she ran…

Lucy got to the park with seconds to spare. She was panting heavily and could barely breathe, but she had managed to make it. She controlled her breathing and stood up straight, she had to look professional.

'Come on Lucy! You can do this!' she prompted herself.

After giving her name to the people at the entrance she was given a number and told to wait there. There were so many girls and it seemed like hours until Lucy finally heard her number being called through the speakers.

"Number 777! Can we please have number 777, Lucy Heartfillia on stage please! I repeat, number 777, thank you."

She quickly made her way up to the stage and strolled up to the microphone, surprisingly swiftly despite the fact that her stomach was in a knot the size of Fiore.

"Lucy Heartfillia?" Said a beautiful woman who she assumed to be Erza Scarlet. She had easily memorised their names due to all the screaming fans waving around giant posters of them.

"Y-yes." She stuttered, suddenly feeling a whole lot more self-conscious.

"Proceed." Erza stated bluntly, but gave Lucy a warm encouraging smile, almost like she could sense how uncomfortable she was. Then again, anyone who looked at her could tell she was out of place. While all the all others girls had dolled themselves up, caking themselves in unbelievable amounts of make-up and wore expensive-looking designer clothes, there stood Lucy, adorned in ruffled and grass-stained clothes, shoes that looked as if they were about to fall apart from under her feet, dirt behind her ears and no make-up whatsoever.

She silently cursed at herself for even coming up here. She could have easily walked away. They would go on as if they had never even heard her name and she could continue her not-so-sanitary daily routine. But it was to late to go back now, and she wasn't going to run away like a coward.

'Mama, Papa, I promise you, I will become someone you can finally be proud to call you daughter!'

"I'm not
You average type of girl
I'm gonna show the world the strength in me
That sometimes they can't see
I'm about to switch my style
And soon things may get wild
But I will prove I can conquer anything
So from my head to toe I'm taking full control
I'll make it on my own
This time
(Better watch me shine)

Better watch out
Going for the knockout
And I won't stop
Till I'm on top now
Not gonna give up
Until I get what's mine
Better check that I'm about to upset
And I'm hot now
So you better step back
I'm taking over
So watch me shine

So Get ready
Here I come
Until the job is done
No time to waste
There's nothing stopping me
Oh
But you don't hear me though
So now it's time to show
I'll prove I'm gonna be the best I can be
So from my head to toe
My mind body and soul
I'm taking full control
This time

Bet you don't think I can take it
But my mind and body are strong
Bet you don't think I can make it
It won't take long
Bet you don't think I can take it
But my mind and body are strong
Bet you don't think I can make it
It won't take long
Now watch me shine...

Better watch out
Going for the knockout
And I won't stop
Till I'm on top now
Not gonna give up
Until I get what's mine
(Until I get what's mine...)
Better check that I'm about to upset
And I'm hot now
So you better step back
I'm taking over
So watch me shine
Watch me...
Watch me shine...
Watch me"

The band sat there, stunned by this mysterious girl. Her voice was amazing. So full of emotion and she had been able to hit all of the notes perfectly. As she was walking away, Natsu thought he saw a tear stream down her face, but brushed it off as a trick of the light.

'Number 777 huh? Looks like things just got a whole lot more interesting.'
