DISCLAIMER: Okay, so I'm only going to say this once—and I mean it. I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL. Characters are credited to Hiro Mashima. Plot is mine. Please respect our works. THEY ARE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES. Thank you.

SUMMARY: The newest band, Fairy Tail, was flying low. Gray was unmotivated. Natsu was a troublemaker and Gajeel was just rude. Thus, the management sends them to high school to learn a few things. A futile attempt? Or… 'The start of something new'?

WRITER'S BLOCK: I finished Another Shot at Love with much love from my readers and I realized I really liked writing after all. Can't seem to get this overactive imagination of mine under control so I'm starting a new fanfic which will have some singing and dancing. Strange, huh? But I hope you guys like it! R & R, minna! Love, love, love! 3

PS: Most of the songs in this fanfic might be just poems I whipped up. But if I do use real songs, I will make sure to give credit accordingly so please do not sue me!


-PROLOGUE-
Where the curtains are raised and the concert begins!

Excited chattering could be heard inside the pitch black hall. Glow-in-the-dark letters and shapes neatly glued into cardboards could be seen emitting their lights, spelling out names and words of extreme admiration.

Soon, blue headlights flooded the room and the smoke machine started, filling the stage at the center with fogs. Three silhouettes appeared, making the crowd grow ballistic as they screamed their hearts out.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The drumsticks were smashed against each other and the crowd was silenced as the pink-haired drummer started to hit the drums with much practice. He moved his head accordingly to the fast beat and the raven-haired teenager holding the electric guitar wearing a white suit and pants started strumming like crazy. His expertise made girls in the crowd drool and scream. He opened his mouth and started to sing the start of the song,

Hey, girl, tell me your name
Promise I won't bite
Just wanna know you
Just wanna spend some time

The teenager continued to sing as he played his guitar with ease. He stopped playing halfway and pointed to the crowd with a smirk on his face.

"Kyaaaa! Gray-sama!"

The guitarist stepped to the side as the bassist took center stage and started to show-off his skills on the instrument. He, too, wore white: a white sleeveless top with tattered sleeves and white pants. Unlike the guitarist, however, the boy gave of an indifferent aura, except for a smirk that was written on his face the whole while that he was on stage.

"Gajeel-sama, look here!"

The beat gradually intensified and the adlib for the drums came. The blue lights faded and a bright yellow spotlight focused on the salmon-haired drummer who still had a smile etched on his face. He sang the chorus together with the other two boys and their voices harmonized, giving off a very powerful sound.

I've been looking awhile
I can tell you're one-of-a-kind
No one is like you
You're my one-in-a-million find

"Natsu-chan! Marry me!" came a scream from the crowd. Natsu smiled and somehow, while still playing, took off his white vest and threw it to the girl, who fainted upon catching it.

The drums beat steadily, the guitar and bass played a unique melody that had captivated the audience; the trio sang expertly as they played and with one final strum, Gray Fullbuster breathed in deeply and sang the high-pitched ending.

"You're my one-in-a-million find-~-"

The music faded, the lights dimmed once again. The crowd screamed and cheered, even though the three had already left the stage. Silently, they went to the backstage as the MC spoke.

"And that was Fairy Tail, who had just debuted last month with their hit single 'One in a Million Find'—"

"What the hell was that?" Gajeel said, smirking at Gray who was suddenly sullen and annoyed. "Your voice wavered at the end!"

"Gray killed the ending," Natsu said, smiling half-heartedly. "We told you not to. You're so hard-headed."

"Wait 'til the old man hears," teased Gajeel.

"Boys!"

The three turned around and saw a short old man in a white suit approaching them. This man had silver hair and moustache and he wore a silly hat and even sillier shoes. On his left was a muscular blonde who had a scary scar on his left eye. On the old man's right was a red-head who was strict-looking and looked at Gray with a gaze that could kill.

"Jii-chan!" said Natsu with a smile. However, the smile faded upon seeing how serious the man's face was. "J-Jii-chan…?"

"Gajeel-kun," he started and looked up at the rough guy named Gajeel who was taken aback at the strict tone he gave off. Gajeel pouted, "You disrespected the director of the show and called him a 'half-assed bastard'."

"Well, it was true!" he hissed.

"That doesn't mean you could call him that, idiot!" said the man and stepped on Gajeel's foot. After this, he stared at the drummer. "Natsu!"

"H-Hai!"

"You pulled a prank on one of the crew and locked him up in the bathroom. And yesterday, you put salt in everyone's drink!"

"Th-They found out, huh?" said Natsu, sweat-dropping nervously.

"I told you to be civil!" exclaimed the old man and hit Natsu at the back of his head. "You guys are rising stars, don't ruin you reputation!"

"S-Sorry, old man…" Natsu said apologetically, scratching the part that was hit.

"Moreover," he said in the strictest tone he could muster as he stared at Gray, "I am very disappointed in you."

"Master, please let me," said the scarlet-haired woman behind him. She stepped forward and stared at Gray, her eyebrows meeting at the center of her forehead. Gray gulped. "What happened?"

"I was… I was out of breath…" he excused. "I was playing and running around at the stage so it couldn't be helped, right?"

"No!" she said, "You weren't breathing properly in the first place! I could tell just by listening to your voice! What happened to all that I've taught you?"

"So what?" Gray answered back. "It's not like the audience would find out or anything. They'd just think it was some sort of grace note."

"You ignorant fellow," said Erza who stared even more intensely at Gray. The boy had wished he hadn't spoken at all.

"Erza, you're such a worry-wart," said Natsu, putting a hand on Erza's shoulder. "I'm sure it won't happen again."

"It won't," the blonde was the one who spoke now and he looked at the three with a mocking smile.

"What do you mean, Laxus?" asked Gray.

"I've been hearing that aside from all of your blunders, you've also been skipping training and practice," said the old man. He crossed his arms and, with a displeased look, tapped his foot on the floor.

"They found out, Gray…" Natsu whispered to the raven-haired guitarist.

"Sh-Shut up, Pink!" Gray whispered back.

"That's why we've decided that you guys should be rehabilitated," said the master.

"Rehabilitated?!" they chorused. Somehow, it did not sound very fun.

"Yes," Erza said, "Time to learn the basics again."

"What do you mean?" asked Gray, who was already disapproving the idea. "What do you mean, 'rehabilitated'?"

"The three of you," said the master, "Are going to high school."


WRITER'S BLOCK (2): If you've noticed, when Gray was singing the end part, I wrote - and then '~' in the middle. It was the part where his voice wavered. Poor Gray, he doesn't seem to be taking things seriously.

Another thing, the lyrics of 'One in a Million Find' is mine so forgive me if it's not too good.

Other than that, any queries or suggestions, please PM me. Don't forget to R&R, okay?
