Lucy's POV
So today, Master Makarov has some big announcement to make. Apparently, everyone knows what's going on except me and the other guild member that haven't been here for a whole year. In other words, Juvia, Gajeel, Pantherlily, Wendy, Carla, and I were all clueless. Everyone in the guild is in front of the stage of the guild. I then see the lights swirl around the guild hall and they focus in on Makarov at center stage.
"Everyone, the time has come for Fairy Tail's favorite event of the year. Fairy Idol!" Makarov announces. The whole guild cheers. I swear this is the loudest they've ever been. "Now this year there are 4 stages. It's one stage per day. The first stage is Groups of 4 of your choice. The second stage is Pairs. The pairs with be drawn from a hat and the partners must be the opposite sex of each other. The third stage is also a solo, but you must play an instrument. It matters not what instrument it is. The fourth stage is the finals. The 2 finalists choose what they get to do. Now I will introduce this year's judges." The lights shone down on three other figures that were behind Makarov. "This year's judges will be Mirajane, Gildarts, and Erza!"
"I can't wait to see everyone perform." Mirajane states.
"Now you all have until tomorrow to practice, so get busy!" Erza yells. Everyone scatters all around the guild trying to find a group. I then see Levy run towards me.
"Lu-chan! Do you want to be in a group with me, Lisanna, and Juvia?" Levy-chan pleads. I don't know if I should do this. But since Juvia is doing it, how bad can it be?
"Sure. I'd love to!" I reply.
"Alright! Let's go over to the others at the bar." Levy-chan suggests. I follow her and I see Juvia talking to Lisanna. "She said yes!
"Oh boy! We're gonna rock it tomorrow!" Lisanna yells.
"But we still need to pick a song to sing." Juvia points out.
"I've got an idea. Why don't the three of you all sleep over at my house and we can pick a song and rehearse." I suggest.
"That's sounds like fun! The actual singing doesn't start until late in the afternoon tomorrow. So we should have plenty of time." Lisanna agrees.
"What time should Juvia be there by?" Juvia questions.
"I'll say about 6:30. But be careful that you aren't followed there by any competition. Mainly the guys." I say. We look over and see Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, and Laxus planning something.
Natsu's POV
This is gonna be awesome! My group from the competition is Laxus, Gray, and Gajeel. While we were discussing plans I overheard Lucy talking to Juvia, Lisanna, and Levy about the song they are going to sing for the competition. So the guys and I are going to sneak to Lucy's house and spy on them so that we have the upper hand for the competition. Gajeel and I brought alone Happy and Pantherlily for this supper secret mission. That night, after I see the Juvia, Lisanna, and Levy walk in together into Lucy's place, we all stand against the wall and listen in on the conversation. This is gonna be sweet!
Levy's POV
At around 6:30, Juvia, Lisanna, and I all arrive a Lu-chan's house. I knock on the door to her apartment and Lu-chan opens the door.
"Great, you're all here!" Lu-chan greets us and she invites us in. "Sorry about the noise, I was listening to some songs to see if I could find any that were good for the competition."
"Did you find any?" I question.
"Yeah, I found a few." Lu-chan replies.
"Where should we put our sleeping bags?" Lisanna questions.
"You can lie them next to my bed. I don't want to be the only one in a bed so I'll be sleeping on the floor too!" Lu-chan states. We all unravel our sleeping bags and we listen to different songs that Lu-chan thought were good for us to sing. I was facing the window when I saw the tip of a white wing. I knew who it was. That jerk! I can't believe he'd spy on us! He has better things to do than this like eating scrap metal or practicing with his own band! I walk up to the window.
"Levy, what's wrong?" Lisanna questions. I keep walking up to the window and open it and I hear a small gasp.
Gajeel's POV
I hear the smallest footprints walk up to Blondie's window and I know that it's Shrimp. Even though she's small she can get really, really angry. I hear the window open. I'm dead.
Levy's POV
I open the window and I see Pantherlily holding Gajeel up to the window and Happy doing the same thing with Natsu.
"Gajeel…!" That idiot! I wouldn't do this to him so why does he do this to me?!
"T-this isn't what it looks like!" Gajeel protests. Lucy, Lisanna, and Juvia all come up behind me.
"What the hell are you guys doing here?!" Lu-chan yells.
"We were just flying around and we heard a commotion coming from here so we got here as fast as we could!" Natsu explains.
"Yeah sure Natsu. I can tell when you lie." Lisanna states. I look over the edge a little more and I see Laxus and Gray up against the wall.
"It's not just them, Gray and Laxus are down there!" I yell as I point at the other spies. As I point out the spies, I begin to feel air under my feet instead of the ground. I start to fall out the window.
"Levy-chan!" I hear Lu-chan yell. I close my eyes and brace for impact. But before I could hit the ground I feel something wrap around my waist and then I am pulled into something. I slowly open my eyes and I see black. Am I dead?
"If you think you're dead, then you've got another thing comin'." I hear a voice say. I look up.
"G-Gajeel." I whisper.
"Oi, don't go jumping out windows." Gajeel teased.
"I didn't jump. I fell!" I yell back.
"Oh yeah you fell." Lisanna stated. I have a bad feeling about this.
"Right into Gajeel's arms." Lu-chan finished. The girls giggle and I can hear the guys trying as best not to laugh. I can feel the heat of my embarrassment flood my checks.
Gajeel's POV
I can see the color flood to the Shrimp's face and that doesn't help along with the fact that everyone is laughing.
"C-can you put me back in Lu-chan's room please?" Shrimp questions. I forgot that I was still holding on to her. I place her back in Blondie's room.
"Let's head back to my place and rehearse. The mission failed but we got a good laugh out of tonight!" Natsu yells.
"Shut up!" I yell.
"Wait 'til the guild hears about this!" Gray adds in.
"Shut up!" Shrimp and I yell at the same time.
"Look at that! They talk at the same time just like a couple!" Laxus yells.
"We are not a couple!" Shrimp and I yell again. I fly away and I don't look back. The guys follow close behind me. God, there all idiots.
Lisanna's POV
Okay, so beside the little Gajeel and Levy moment, everything is going out smoothly.
"Gray-sama, don't leave Juvia!" Well, almost everything. We picked out our song and we are gonna rock it tomorrow night!
The next day everyone at the guild hall was cheering for all of the participants. Everyone was really good. So we're up next and Master Makarov is about to introduce us.
"Alright. Our next group consists of Lisanna Strauss, Levy McGarden, Juvia Lockser, and Lucy Heartfilia. These talented young ladies are going to sing Wings by Little Mix, so let's give them a big round of applause!" Makarov announces. The curtain goes up slowly.
"Everyone, good luck!" I say.
"You too!" Levy states. The curtain rises all the way up and the music starts to play and we all start to sing.
Mama told me not to waste my life
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And if they give you shhhh...
Then they can walk on by
My feet, feet can't touch the ground
And I can't hear a sound
But you just keep on running up your mouth yeah
Walk, walk on over there
'Cause I'm too fly to care, oh yeah
Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
Keep talking, all I know is
Mama told me not to waste my life,
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly
(Hey, hey, woo!)
I'm firing up on that runway
I know we're gonna get there someday
But we don't need no ready steady go, no
Talk, talk turns into air
And I don't even care, oh yeah
Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
Keep talking, all I know is
Mama told me not to waste my life,
She said spread your wings my little butterfly
Don't let what they say keep you up at night,
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly
I don't need no one saying hey, hey, hey, hey
I don't hear no one saying hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
You better keep on walking
I don't wanna hear your talking, boy'd
You better keep on walking
I don't wanna hear your talking, boy'd
Your words don't mean a thing
I'm not listening
They're just like water off my wings
Mama told me not to waste my life
She said spread your wings my little butterfly (my little butterfly)
Don't let what they say keep you up at night
And they can't detain you
'Cause wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly
And we don't let nobody bring us down
No matter what you say it won't hurt me
Don't matter if I fall from the sky
These wings are made to fly
After the song, everyone cheered for us and the curtain dropped. Lucy, Levy, and Juvia all topple on me and we have a group hug.
"That was so much fun!" Lucy states.
"Juvia thought we were amazing!" Juvia adds. I hear footsteps coming towards us and it's Laxus and the others. I see Levy's face turn red after seeing Gajeel but I can't blame her. I bet she was scared after what happened. She almost wanted to drop out this morning.
"You guys did really well." Natsu compliemented.
"Thanks Natsu. I'm sure you guys will do awesome!" Lucy states.
"We better get going." I state. The four of us start to exit off the stage and into the audience.
"Alright everyone, this is the last group of the night so let's introduce them. We have Gray Fullbuster, Natsu Dragneel, Gajeel Redfox, and Laxus Dreyar singing Back for you by One Direction. As soon as I heard Master say that, we all started breaking out laughing.
Lucy's POV
I can't believe that the guys are singing One Direction! My stomach hurts from laughing so hard.
"Everyone we need to stop laughing!" Levy-chan yelled with laughing breaks in between. We heard the music to the song start and the boys started to sing.
Whenever I close my eyes, I picture you there
I'm looking out at the crowd, you're everywhere
I'm watching you from the stage yeah
You're smile is on every face now
But every time you wake up
You're hearing me say
Goodbye
Baby, you don't have to worry
I'll be coming back for you, back for you, back for you, you
Lately, I've been going crazy
I'll be coming back for you, back for you, back for you, you
I've never been so into somebody before
And every time we both touch I only want more
So tell me nothing's going to change yeah
And you won't walk away yeah
Cause even though every night you'll know what I'll say
Goodbye.
Baby, you don't have to worry
I'll be coming back for you, back for you, back for you, you
Lately, I've been going crazy
So I'm coming back for you, back for you, back for you, you
Right back for you
Right back for you
Right back for you
Lately, I've been going crazy
So I'm coming back for you
Yeah I am coming back for you yeah
Baby, you don't have to worry
I'll be coming back for you, back for you, back for you, you
Lately, I've been going crazy
So I'm coming back for you, back for you, back for you, you
Right back for you, right back
Right back for you, right back
Right back for you, right back
Right back for you.
Lately, I've been going crazy
So I'm coming back for you, back for you, back for you, you.
I can't believe I am about to say this, but the guys did really well. It's almost scary.
"They're probably our biggest competition at the moment." Lisanna states.
"Juvia agrees. But that's because they have Gray-sama!" Juvia goes into her own little world that no one dares tries to wake her up from it. I can see Master Makarov talking with Erza and the other judges. I see them hand the Master an envelope and Makarov walks up on stage.
"Alright. So I have just talked with the judges and we have 2 groups moving on to the next round. And those two groups are…" Makarov opens the letter. "The winners of the first round are…!"
