This type of story is so fun to read. I always wanted to write a songfic, I do not own any of these songs. I did not write them, neither do I sing them. I do not own Fairy Tail either. I own nothing but a cat so….enjoy.

Lucy Heartfilia was one of those kids in school that no one knew. She was never bullied per say but she was completely ignored, she never talked to anyone and no one talked to her. It was the middle of Junior year, still never talked to anyone.
This year though, her councilor suggested she take a musical class since she couldn't make any art for the life of her. She needed an art credit to graduate and Lucy didn't have one yet. The class was called Music 101, she thought that she would just be learning about music's history. In the beginning it was, and she enjoyed it a lot.
Lucy loved to sing, she thought she was good at it, but she didn't want other people to know. Her life was very private since she didn't talk to anyone. The blonde girl didn't want anyone to know her family life, so far, its been working.
Its been 3 weeks since the start of the school year. She walked to school from her small studio apartment, later explained why she lives alone. Her sling backpack was pink, but she also carried 2 books in her arms. Her plaid skirt flowed in the light wind as did her blonde hair that was half down. Her tall socks kept falling, but she thought it looked cute. She reached her locker, number 394, when she heard some loud noises from down the hall.
The group of kids, that she knew, were rough housing again. Natsu Dragneel, Gray Fullbuster, Gajeel Redfox, and Jellal Fernandes were standing together near the music room, Natsu punched Gray in the head while Gajeel just laughed at them. Jellal was just leaning on the wall reading a book.
Lucy just shook her head at them, they did this every morning since freshman year. She thought they were funny at times, but she kept to herself. No one talked to her so why should she? She walked to her first class, which she had with all of them. She sat in her usual seat, in the back near the window. First period was her music class, she opened her notebook and started to write her next chapter of her novel before the bell rang.
The teacher, Mr. Gildarts, walked in and started writing on the chalkboard 'Music Project', Lucy was confused. Were they going to write a paper on music? Maybe they were going to make something or maybe write their own songs, she couldn't wait.
"Okay, we are going to do something new today. This project will make some of you interact with each other. You can either be in a group or by yourself, you will sing a song. This will be 20% of your final grade." Lucy's eyes widened, this is not what she thought would happen today. She did not want to do this, but she couldn't fail. She worked too hard to get where she is, she couldn't fail now.
The class erupted in applause, this school was always so positive. Natsu was the loudest as always, "Ah yeah! I'm going to beat all of you!" he shouted with a fist in the air.
Gildrats closed his eyes and rubbed the crown of his nose. He sighed, "No, Natsu this is not a contest. It's a project, if everything goes good then maybe we could continue this project the whole year." He commented while setting his papers on the desk.
The whole class whispered to themselves as Lucy looked down at her notebook. What was she going to do? She was not going to join any group, no one was even looking at her. Solo it was.
"Today's class, we will just pick groups and talk about what song you will sing. The presentation will be in Friday." Gildarts said while giving out a piece of paper. "The song has to have something to do about you or your group. We need to learn more about each other."
"But Gildarts, we already know each other." Gray commented as he smacked Natsu in the back of the head. Erza Scarlet, who sat behind them glared at the two but said nothing. She usually broke their fights up. Levy McGarden just giggled at the two while Gajeel grumbled beside her.
"Not everyone." He simply stated while just looking at his folders. Everyone was looking around to see who he was talking about but fell flat, no one knew who he were talking about. Lucy just ducked her head down. Of course, they wouldn't know. She should be happy that no one knows her but it also kind of hurt.
"Who?" Lisanna asked, sitting next to her sister and brother, who were equally confused. The tall, red-haired man just shook his head at the question, not saying anything.
The class was dismissed after that. All the students walked out of the class murmuring to each other about what song they were going to pick. They were all excited, except for Lucy Heartfilia. She was at her locker thinking what song she was going to pick maybe she should think this through.

Thursday came fast as everyone was preparing for tomorrow, almost everyone has picked a song and was practicing out in the field. Gildarts thought that was a better idea than staying in the classroom. Natsu had joined in a group with Gray, Gajeel, and Jellal. Erza had a small group with Levy and Juvia. The Strauss siblings had also joined together as a family team. Even Laxus was having fun with this assignment with his posse, Bickslow, Evergreen, and Freed.
Everyone was having fun with each other, singing and getting to use their instruments. Everyone except Lucy, she still hasn't picked a song, but she thinks she knows which one she was going to sing. She was sitting behind some bleachers doing some homework from another class. All she needed for this was the acoustics of the song and herself, what did she need to practice for?
She was listening to them practice and they were really good. She brought her knees up to her chest and buried her head, this was going to be so embarrassing for her. Gildarts called for the class, so he could talk to them. Lucy walked over slowly, everyone else was already over there. She was in the back of the circle, unseen by the other students.
"Now, we will have this class in the auditorium for better performances. It will be at 9 o'clock." Everyone cheered, they were so excited to perform. All except for the blonde.

Lucy got to her apartment after the day she had. She was looking through her music on her laptop when her rescue dog, Plue, ran under her feet. "Plue, I gave you treats. You can't have anymore." She giggled while rubbing his head. He stuck his tongue out at her and licked her knee. "Okay Plue, which song should I do?" she asked playing the first song, Plue whimpered and his ears dropped. "Okay, okay. What about this one?" she played a different one. He barked and wagged his tail.
"Wow, I like this one too." Lucy used the acoustic version, put it in a USB for tomorrow. She looked at the time and saw she was going to be late for work. She quickly feed Plue and grabbed her uniform before running out the door. "Love you Plue!", said dog barked before the door slammed.
When she arrived at the restaurant, Lucy ran passed the manager who just shook his head. After 10 minutes she came out in her waitress uniform, an orange dress with white letters spelling 8-Island.
"Lucy, you're late again." Bob told her as he handed her a booklet.
"I know I'm sorry. I had a thing, I had to do. I won't do it again." She told him as she was looking at the map to see what section she had. Her boss had no idea she was 17, she was 16 when she started. They would have never hired her if she told him that. So, telling her that she was in high school was totally out of the question. She needed this job, so she could still live in her own.
Hibiki walked up behind her and looked over her shoulder, "You have section 5 tonight, you better hurry beautiful. There's already people in your section." He commented, Lucy just pushed him back with her shoulder. The dirty brown-haired boy just laughed.
Lucy put on her happy face and walked to the group of 4 adults, it looked like a double date to her. "Hi, my name is Lucy. I'll be your waitress tonight. what would you guys like to drink?"
The night came to a close when the last customer left, and they locked the doors. Lucy was cleaning the last of the tables when Ren came to sit on the table she just cleaned. She looked in his eyes and glared, "What did you want Ren?" the blonde crossed her arms.
"I want your number, but I know you would just blow up my phone." He turned his head away from her "I mean you are beautiful," Lucy smiled at that, "but not the most beautiful." He finished. Lucy threw the towel at him and stormed away to change.

The day has come. Friday, Lucy was standing at her locker, a quarter till 9 and she just standing, staring in her locker. She did not want to do this. Although, at the same time, she did. Maybe she wanted friends, at least someone to talk to. However, she didn't want things to change, change sometimes didn't make it better.
Lucy could hear the students in the auditorium setting up and talking, this was it. She walked in and sat in one of the middle seats to wait her turn. Her hand was wrapped around her bag so tight, she was nervous. The first group up was Mira, Lisanna and Elfman. The three siblings were setting up when Mira walked up to the mic and started to sing. Elfman played drums.
The two girls had mics, so I guess they both sang. (Whoa Oh – Aly & AJ)
Lisanna started to sing with a soft voice, everyone started to get up and cheer for them. "Life is good, I can't complain. I mean I could but no one's listening. Your image overwhelms my brain. And it feels good, good, good."
Some even started to dance; Lucy just stayed seated and watched while the whole class was going wild without a care in the world.
"Now, I'm rolling my window down. I love the wind, but it hate the sound. You're like a tattoo I can't remove, and it feels good, it feels good." Mira's voice was rougher than Lisanna's, but it sounded smoother; their music flowed together and Elfman was super good at the drums making the sounds of each note just stream through the crowd.
"Like a roller coaster ride, holding o by knuckles like, whoa whoa." Shifting their shoulders up every time they sang the last word.
The two siblings were great together, like they have been doing this their whole lives.
"Can't believe I'm like." Lisanna sang with Mira singing, "Up and down and side to side. Every inch of me is like whoa, whoa."
They started moving around the stage moving with the music around them. "In the morning it begins again, feels like I'm falling, better strap me in. I think I'm running out of oxygen and it feels good, it feels good."
Singing the chorus again, the sisters made an 'x' on stage to switch spots and smiling like no one can stop them.
"My inhibitions are weakening to like the whole situation. I can't help but lose control" Lucy really liked Mira's voice; she didn't know the white-haired, older sister was so good.
"No inner friction that I cannot seem to break." Lisanna was quieter, maybe still shy about being up there, the girl did keep brushing her hair behind her hear.
Both girls sang, "It feels good, it feels good. I'm holding on, I'm holding on." Elfman was nodding his head in to the sound and smiling. Everyone was dancing and having so much fun.
They finished their song as the two girls laughed and hugged each other; the applause was overwhelming and loud.
"Good job girls," Elfman glared at Gildarts, "and Elfman. You were, very manly." He quickly added. Elfman walked with his sister talking about how manly they all were. "Alright Laxus, you're up!" he yelled.
The group of 4 started up the stairs, Bickslow was jumping up and down. Evergreen was tuning her bass while Freed stood by Laxus, who was adjusting the mic. "Go Laxus!" Mira yelled out, said man winked at her.
"Go Bickslow!" Lisanna yelled out too. She just wanted him to be included. He stuck his tongue out at her.
"Go Evergreen!" Elfman bellowed out but she was not having any of it.
"Shut up you, big oaf." before she shyly smiled at him. the big man just laughed and sat down next to Mira.
Freed started out his guitar riff, while Bickslow started on drums. Laxus started to bellow out the beginning of the song. Everyone knew this song, it was a classic, they just didn't think that he would sing this song. (Thunderstruck -ACDC)
When Laxus actually started singing, he was really good. Everyone in the crowd started screaming 'Thunder' as he was singing along. Freed was dancing around with his guitar while Evergreen stood where she was but with a smug smile on her face.
"I was caught, in the middle of a railroad track. I looked around and I knew there was no turning back," even shaking his head as if he was looking around.
"My mind raced, and I thought what could I do? And I knew, there was no help, no help from you."
Bickslow was banging on his drums with his tongue out and smiling. "Sound of the drums, beating in my heart. Thunder of guns tore me apart. You've been,"
The mohawked man on the drums beat his snare, "Thunderstruck."
The tall blonde walked across the stage holding the mic in his hand, "Rode down the highway. Broke the limit, we hit the town. Went through to Texas, yeah Texas, and we had some fun." Nodding his head and winking at the crowd, girls swooned. Lucy looked to Mira and saw her blush, odd.
"We met some girls, some dancers who gave a good time. Broke all the rules, played all the fools."
He kicked his black boot on one of the speakers and leaned over to the crowd, "yeah, yeah, they blew our minds. And I was shaking at the knees." Straighten and actually shaking his knees. "Could I come again please, yeah them ladies were too kind. You've been, Thunderstruck."
Freed had a small guitar riff, he was really good, you would have never guessed that he would be amazing at this; Lucy was definitely amazed.
Laxus repeating the same lines, "Thunderstruck. It's alright, we're doing fine."
When they were finished Laxus dropped the mic and walked off stage. His bandmates just looked at him, they had no idea he was just going to walk off. They all got up very quickly and ran after him, everyone laughed and cheered for them.
"I was going to say good job, but I guess that's not needed." Gildarts stared at the empty stage.
"You bet your ass, its not needed!" he heard Laxus from back stage, all Gildarts would saw was 'Language' but nothing else. Lucy brought up her knees and started to hide, these people were good. How was she going to compare to them? "Erza, Levy and Juvia!" he called out.
All three girls went up to the stage but didn't get any instruments. Looks like they were all singing, the music started to play and everyone looked up to see Erza start out the song. (Single Ladies – Beyoncé)
Erza sang first, repeating the lines, "All the single ladies." With Levy and Juvia reiterating back to her.
Oh my god, they were actually dancing, like in the video. How long did the practice this? Every guy in the room was watching closely. Lucy only ducked her head, she had second-hand embarrassment for them, but they didn't seem to mind dancing at all. "Up in the club, just broke up, I'm doing my own little thing. You decided to dip and now you wanna trip cause another brother noticed me." Levy was really good, better than the blonde thought a bookworm like her would be.
At least they were wearing appropriate clothes, or else this would not be very proper for schools. Yet, the girls looked like they were having the time of their lives. They broke apart and Juvia stuck both hands out, evenly, "I'm up on him, he up on me. don't pay him any attention. Cause I cried my tears for three good years, you can't be mad at me."
Levy and Juvia are really flexible, there is no way Lucy could do any of that. She wasn't even going to attempt any of that. Erza looked very determined for some reason but would smile every so often at the two beside her, like they were life long friends. Lucy wished someone would look at her like that. The girls sang the chorus of the song as Lucy stuck her head further in her knees.
Erza was front and center with her hands on her hips, "I got my gloss on lips, a man in my hips, got me tighter than my Dereon jeans. Acting up, drink in my cup; I can care less what you think, I need no permission, did I mention? Cause you had your turn, but now you gonna learn, what it really feels like to miss me."
Setting her hand on her chest and winking, they contained through the chorus. Levy switched with Erza as they danced around and got to the front of the stage, "Don't treat me to these things of the world," Roaming her hand in the air, "I'm not that kind of girl, your love is what I prefer, what I deserve. Here's a man that makes me then takes me and delivers me to destiny, to infinity and beyond."
Beside her, Juvia stood close, "Pull me into your arms, say I'm the one you want. If you don't, you'll be alone and like a ghost I'll be gone."
They formed a line and delivered the last chorus with a snap of their hips at the end.
The girls were out of breath, but they finished, and everyone seemed to love it. Dancing and singing, really good, Lucy was doomed. Almost all the kids started clapping and screaming their names. "Great job girls!" even Gildarts was clapping. Lucy groaned to herself while hiding her face in her knees.
"Next we have Nab, do us proud Nab." While nab climbed up on stage and grabbed a mic stand. He tall man gave him a thumb up and started to sing. (Eye of the Tiger – Survivor)
"Risin' up, back on the street Did my time, took my chances went the distance, now I'm back on my feet Just a man and his will to survive."
His voice cracked at every word and everyone just cringed, Lucy took a short breath as a gasp left her mouth.
"So many times, it happens too fast you trade your passion for glory. Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the-"
Gildarts had to stop it, he was so out of tune and off beat that it was killing the classic song. Everyone booed him as he just hung his head and walked off stage. He could have said no to the project, but he did take this course. Lucy felt bad for the guy, what if that happened to her? Her eyes widened, it might.
"Natsu, you guys are up!" Gildarts was jotting something in his notebook, while the whole group of guys ran up and with so much energy.
"I see, saving the best for last. Good plan Gildarts." Natsu commented as he got the mics for him and Gray up.
"You aren't last Natsu." Was the only thing he said while Lucy just stared wide eyed at their teacher. Why would he do this to her? Make her last, the nerve of that guy. Everyone else was just looking around trying to find out who else was left. Lucy just curled up in a ball, at this point, she wondered how she was even still on the seat.
The music started playing regardless of what Lucy felt, her stomach was in knots and all she could think about was that she would be up next.
Jellal started out with the humming as Gajeel pounded his drums. (Pride – American Authors)
Natsu was a great singer, probably the greatest in the class. "My home don't feel the same, last year flew by goodbye to the good vibes. What we thought were the best times, nights out with the people I love."
He was standing by the mic with one hand on the stand and the other in the air, "Now, I'm lost in the neighborhood that raised me, praised me, made me who I am. But my father was twice the man and now that pain's resurfacing."
Lucy had to admit he looked like he was having fun and just a tad bit handsome. Everyone was cheering and screaming, it was a small class with big mouths. "Brooklyn don't feel the same, maybe I'm the one who's changed or the one to blame. Another drink down the drain, ten more before I get on that plane. I swear I knew just what to say."
Lucy watched as Natsu closed his eyes and licked his lips, "It's all there on the tip of my tongue, but I done feel good enough for anyone, but I won't fold."
Together with Gray they sang, "I know cause I got this feeling!"
Nab looked like he was feeling better as he was dancing with Max from another class. It seems like Natsu had some fangirls after him, Lucy cringed as one of them screamed his name right next to her ear. "I ain't ever giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride." As Natsu was singing the chorus, he took the mic stand off the floor and stuck it between his legs.
Standing upright, "Pushed out of the family tree. Upside down, but it was a good life. I fell hard for the wine id France." The pink-haired teen spun on his toes until his mouth to the mic again, "I didn't call you back cause I was learning to dance. And just who I'd become. It's all there on the tip of my tongue. Wish I was good enough for anyone."
He stood holding out his hands above his head and singing the chorus, hopping around the stage.
The music stopped except for Gajeel's drum, Natsu, Gray and Jellal sang this part together. Everyone was clapping to the beat of Gajeel's drum. They were having fun. "Like a fish out of water, do I belong here? But I'm never gonna lose, I'm never giving up my pride. I'm lost in the ocean, like a note in a bottle."
"But I'm never gonna lose, I'm never giving up my pride." Natsu was smiling at Gray and then sang through the chorus while still hopping on his toes.
Jellal ended the song with his humming and everyone cheered, Natsu held up his arms in triumph. Gray just laughed as Jellal had a small smile graced on his face; Gajeel had no expression at all. Now Lucy was very nervous. "Lucy." Was the only word that Gildarts would say, she hesitatedly stood up while everyone looked around for someone named Lucy.
"You're messing with us Gildarts, there's no one named Lucy here." Gajeel hollered out, the red-headed man just pointed to the stage where Lucy took her spot by the mic. Now everyone knew who she was. She was so nervous, she didn't even look up at them. She was just waiting for the music to start but she heard the murmurs of some of the students.
'She's pretty.'
'How come we've never seen her before?'
'I wonder what she's going to sing.'
She smiled a little. Then the music started. (Blown Away – Carrie Underwood)
"Dry lightening cracks across the skies. Those storm cloud gather in her eyes. Daddy was a mean old mister." She closed her mocha eyes, thinking of her own father. "Mama was an angel in the ground." A picture of her mother flashed in her eyes.
"The weather called for a twister, she prayed, blow it down. There's not enough rain in Oklahoma, to wash the sins out of that house, there's not enough wind in Oklahoma to rip the nails out of the past."
It started out slow and everyone was waiting for her chorus, it was good, but it wasn't something to dance to. Now people were cheering for her. Lucy almost faltering in her singing by sheer shock, but she held it together. They loved every part of this, Lucy thought they were just joking but they seemed to really enjoy it. "Shatter every window till it's all blown away. Every brick every board, every slamming door blown away. Till there's nothing left standing, nothing left of yesterday. Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away."
Standing tall again, Lucy gripped the mic stand tightly, "She heard those sirens screaming out, her daddy laid there passed out on the couch." The blonde didn't know when she closed her eyes but when she opened them, she saw the wide eyes of everyone, focused on her.
"She locked herself in the cellar, listened to the screaming of the wind. Some people called it taking shelter, she called it sweet revenge." Shifting her feet again, she snag through the chorus with screams filling her ears, she moved her hair behind her ear.
When it was over, everyone stood on their feet and clapped and cheered. Even Gildarts was clapping for her. She wanted to cry but that would not really look good right now, even if one tear fell down her face.
"That was amazing!" Gray yelled out.
"We want more!" Natsu screamed out, louder than Gray.
"No, Natsu. The class it almost over. Good job Lucy" he smiled at her while she walked off the stage and was swarmed by the students. Everyone wanted to know more about her but then the bell rang, everyone groaned and started to collect their things.
Lucy was getting her bag while Natsu walked up to her, "Hey, I'm Natsu." He said with a smile that showed his big canines.
Lucy looked at him and smiled softly, "I know, we've been in this school since freshman year." She stated but Natsu looked shocked. "We can walk to history together." She asked shyly as she rubbed her left arm with her right one.
"How did you know I had that next?" Now he was really confused. Lucy just rolled her eyes at him.
"I have it too." She started walking to the class as Natsu ran after her, being shocked.
"Um, would you like to sit with us at lunch?" he asked abruptly. She looked over at him with wide eyes but turned back forward. She gripped her books tighter. Was he just messing with her or did they really want to know more about her?
"Sure?" she really didn't know how this was going to go but what harm could it do? She saw as Natsu whooped and threw a fist into the air. Then he ran ahead of her but stopped to grab her hand and pulled her along with him. "What are you doing?" she yelled out while trying to keep up with him.
"Making friends." Is all he said while he smiled at her while still running. Almost running passed the class, what has she gotten herself into?
So, first chapter done! I hope you all enjoyed it. I enjoyed writing it, I tried to make it a little funny. But till next time! Read and review please! Had to change a few words and take out that Lyrics because people are assholes, so here we go. Tell me if you still like it.
