Apologies for not knowing this was actually the entire plot of Lemonade Mouth. (Which I do not own.)
Summary:
A stupidly different group of people are put in detention together. And what happens? They all become FRIENDS. And form a BAND. ...and why did this awful writer decide to write such a cliche story? (May of may not have swearing).
I do not own: Fairy Tail(Hiro Mashima), Ignorance(Paramore), Angels(Within Temptation), Sick of it(Skillet), and any other songs I use!
~Lucy's POV~
"SHIT, I'M LATE FOR MY FIRST DAY?!" I shouted running out the door. I sprinted across the playing field and opened the doors, panting. I ran to my first class, art, with Scorpio. I ran inside just before the bell rang and sat down, breathing a sigh of relief. "You just made it Lucy! For your first day, I'm letting you off with a free period! Yeah!" Everyone was excited about that.
"Hey Lucy, watcha late for?" Natsu threw a crumpled up piece of paper at me. "Not now." I growled. He had bullied me ever since first grade, so as long as I was in school. I got out my song writing notebook thinking about the lyrics to my latest song.
Well you treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
I tapped my finger slightly to the beat.

I stopped and closed the book and sighed, the song was almost finished. I looked around at the classroom to see Flare, (I already know almost everyone because I've seen them in years before), she was always called retarded. It's not her fault she is a bit… different. I should become friends with her, in my opinion, she seems nice. Then again, my opinion is pretty messed up.
I made some more changes and finished the song by the end of the period. The rest of the morning went by in what seemed like a flash, and before I knew it, Natsu was picking on me in the lunchroom. And I… went a little overboard. "Hey Luigi, what's THIS?" He held up my song book. I tried to grab it, but he wouldn't let me. "Maybe I'll just look at all your awful songs!" I gasped, and did the first thing that came to mind.
I spun around and lifted up my left knee, lashing out with my right leg in a flash. Next thing I know Dragneel's on the ground and I'm getting a weaks worth of detention. Nice move, Lucy! I sighed and sat at an almost empty table. The only one there was Flare.
"Hi Flare…" I said sitting down. She looked up surprised at me with her head tilted to the side and wide open eyes. "Blon...die?" I nodded my head and she blinked. "I thought we could be friends." I said with a smile. She scrunched up her eyebrows and nodded her head. We ate lunch together with bits of small talk, I didn't mind the way she was. I was off to a good start at Fiore Academy.
~At Detention (Because I'm lazy!)~
I look around to see Minerva, Zeref, Gajeel, and surprisingly, Flare. I sat next to her with a questioning glance. She smiled. "I like to come here… The spirits let me." The spirits are what we nicknamed the teachers. "Since when are you all buddy-buddy with Lucy?" Asked Minerva. I smiled. "I sat by her at lunch today. I wanted to be her friend." She looked a bit surprised.
Zeref stayed quiet, staring at the floor. He would've been staring at a desk, but someone *cough*NATSU*cough* got in a fight with someone in the detention hall and is being prepared at the moment. We were currently in the music room. I got out my song notebook, and opened it. "Is that the book you beat up Pinky to get?" Flare questioned. Everyone looked at me surprised again. "Err… well… I didn't exactly beat him up… but yes. This is the book he took." Gajeel and Minerva looked at me in amusement. "So, what DID you do to him then?" Minerva asked.
I rubbed the back of my head and sighed. "I gave him a tornado kick to the face." Gajeel started laughed, along with Minerva, Flare, and Zeref even cracked a small smile. I smiled before reopening my book and giving it the last finishing touches.
I started humming the tune of the song, tapping my feet to the beat.
(Humming, Singing)
If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
Well I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle
A mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore
Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me
Well sentence me to another life
At this point, I hardly noticed Flare strumming a bass guitar to the beat.
Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
Cause you know we're not the same (no)
We're not the same (no)
Oh we're not the same
Minerva was drumming on the drums and Gajeel strummed a guitar
Yeah the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good (hey)
It's good (hey)
It's good
Zeref slipped over to the keyboard and played a melody to the music. I smiled and started singing in full-swing.
Well you treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
This is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person but you can't take it
The same tricks that, that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Well now I can fend for myself
Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
Cause you know we're not the same (no)
We're not the same (no)
Oh we're not the same
Yeah we used to stick together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good (hey)
It's good (hey)
It's good
Well you treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
They all noticed the song was almost over and worked together perfectly to complete it.
Well you treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess I'll go
I best be on my way out
I whispered the last line and the others stopped perfectly. I looked around to see them all at their instruments and realized… THAT. WAS. AWESOME! "Gihi. Didn't know you could sing, bunny-girl." I rubbed the back of my head, nervously laughing. Zeref stayed quiet, but had a small smile on his face.
"LULU THAT WAS GREAT!" Minerva practically jumped on me and squished me to death with a hug. "Can't… Breathe…" I said and she stopped. "Is it OK if I call you Lulu? And you can call me Min-min!" I smiled and nodded my head. Flare came over and we sat down, Zeref sitting quietly but paying attention.
"I think we should form a band!" Minerva said. "I will join the band if blondie joins." Flare said looking at me. "Well… I guess we could try…" I said, tapping my fingers together as my self-consciousness kicked in. "Gihi. We'll just have to get in detention a lot." Gajeel said. I snorted and questionably looked at Zeref. He hesitated, but then nodded his head. "YEA! Now we need a band name!" Minerva shouted.
"Something with Dragons?" Gajeel suggested, because we all knew he had a fascination for fantasies like Fairies, Dragons, Mermaids, Magic. I shrugged my shoulders. "How about the Fairies!" Minerva suggested. Gajeel looked horror struck because of the girlyness. I giggled and shook my head. "Phoenix Wings?" Flare suggested. I tapped my finger on my chin. "Almost. Something like that, but phoenix is a firebird and would make me think of… him…" I growled out.
"Woah, calm down bunny-girl!" Gajeel said with a smirk. "Dark Angels." Zeref said quietly. His voice surprised me. It sounded soft but powerful, gentle yet confident. He spoke quietly, almost a whisper. It wasn't girly, but… soft. I nodded my head. "I like it." I said, smiling. "Cool, I think its pretty bad*ss." Gajeel said. "It sounds really original… it fits us." Minerva said. Flare nodded her head, and we all smiled like idiots.
"Well… I actually have a song for that i think…" I said, searching through my book. And there it was, it had lyrics with meaning behind them. "I have a perfect one we should practice." They looked at me. I held up the book with the page opened to see the song. "Angels." I said. They read the lyrics and nodded.
I put the book back in my bag and smiled. "So, where are we going to practice? I can't get detention here all the time." I said. "You can just walk in with me, blondie. They'll let us just stay there." I nodded my head. "But what if they move it back to the other room? We could do the bass and guitar easily, but I don't feel like lugging around a drum set." Minerva thought a bit before speaking up. "We could go to my home. I already have a drumset there and I'm guessing you have instruments by the way you all played." They nodded, and I checked the clock. 10 minutes to go.
"Detention is almost up. Min-min, you live in your own house, yes?" She nodded and said "Yep." I nodded and silently questioned where everyone else was placed. Gajeel was in Fairy Tail, Zeref was with me in the weird kids group, and Flare lived at her own house because it wasn't far from the school either.
(There were Fairy Tail, Sabertooth, Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, and the last one, Slyther-Haha, just kidding. The last one was called Love & Lucky.)
Zeref always had a gloomy aura around him, but it was slightly less gloomy. I made it my personal goal to hear him more often, and gave myself an award for getting a response out of him. I nodded my head and stopped at my door to nod a good-bye, and he nodded back. I smiled and went into my room to complete my AGONIZINGLY LONG homework.
