-Prologue (Part 1)-

It was that time of the year again. Band Camp. And every year, the Fairy Tail High School marching band (AKA Fairy Regiment) gets their asses kicked at the brutal two week camp. Two weeks in the hot sun, learning drill and marching around while being yelled at by the band directer or one of the many techs if you get out of step or messed up. Two weeks cut off from the rest of the world at a place used for a summer camp in the earlier month of the season... Cabins, lake, and all. Two weeks of hard core training to keep the four year title of "Best High school Marching Band in the State" running.


"Hey! Everybody shut-up!" Makarov yelled over the sound of almost 100 screaming high school students.

"Come on Makarov! We all haven't seen each other all summer!" Someone yelled, wanting to socialize a little longer.

"I said shut-up! You all can talk later!" After a minute or two more of yelling at the rowdy teenagers, they finally calmed down, sitting at the picnic tables around the pavilion next to their friends. "Thank you, well... Welcome to Band Camp!" Everyone cheered, whooping, hollering, and whistling, until Makarov calmed them down once more.

"As most of you know, Band Camp will last two weeks," He started "For the first 3 days, half the day everyone will be learning basic drill and the other half you will be split into your sections to work music, the next two days everyone will be split up all day. The rest of the first week will be used of section party's." he said causing everyone cheered, "Hush! The whole second week will be spend reviewing music and putting drill with the music."

"When do we find out our section leaders?!" someone is the crowd of teens cried. "And when will drum line placements be announced?!" A gruff voice yelled over everyone else talking.

"I'm getting there! But before that, any questions?" when no one spoke up Makarov smiled and held up a piece of paper, causing everyone to fidget with excitement and nervousness. "This sheet has everyone's placements, each section's section leaders, each persons cabin number, and where each section will be when we split up to work music. It will be hung outside the canteen this afternoon at 2:00. Lunch is at 12:30 and dinner is at 7:00 and the kickoff party is form 7:30 to 11:00. Since camp doesn't officially start till tomorrow you have the rest of today to get reacquainted with everyone, but no wandering off the property unless you want to wear a tracking bracelet for the rest of camp!" Some upperclassmen knew first hand that that wasn't a joke.

"For you freshmen and new students, this pavilion is the center of the camp, the lake is to the north, the pool is to west, the canteen and the cabins are to the south, and there are hiking trails in the woods to the east, the soccer field where we learn drill is in between the pool and the cabins. If you don't know forget how to get somewhere look at the floor." Everyone looked down to see the giant map to the camp painted on the floor. "There is also a game room on the top floor of the canteen, mini-golf next to the lake, and a blob on the lake. The Canteen also separates the boy's cabins from the girls's, girls on the left, guys on the right. Everyone understand?" Everyone nodded. "Good. Well welcome 2014 Fairy Regiment, to the hardest two weeks of the year!" With that Makarov climbed down from the table he was standing on and walked away. Everyone else soon followed his example, scurrying off to different parts of the camp with their friends.

Free Time: 10:00-12:30

Levy looked down at her schedule again, she had no idea what to do for the next two and a half hours. She didn't feel like swimming or mini-golf, and she couldn't go to her cabin and read cause her bag that has all her books in it was locked up in the Canteen's basement with everyone else's belongings and instruments (minus the drum line's drums and pit's equipment) until it was time to move into the cabins. 'I guess I could go for a jog on one of the hiking trails,' she thought.

Running always cleared her head and calmed her down, and after today, she needed to calm down. Levy wasn't a very outgoing person, she was shy and kinda awkward, so being the new kid wasn't easy for her at all. She hadn't made any friends yet, but she didn't really mind, she was kind of a loner anyway. At her old school she had very few friends due to the fact that she never really talked to anyone, she spent all her free time studying or reading instead of socializing. But as soon as she found out she would be moving, she made a promise to herself to be more open, and to try and make more friends, so far though she wasn't keeping that promise.

An hour had passed and Levy was still running through the woods on a worn path that weaved its self through the trees. She kept her eyes down, watching the path closely so she would trip over one of the numerous rocks or stumps that covered the forest floor.

Thunk

She fell flat on her butt. Dazed, she looked up expecting to see a tree in her path, but instead saw a person flat on their butt just like her.

"Oi! Watch were you're going would ya!" The person growled rubbing his noes, his eyes tightly shut.

"Sorry!" she squeaked shuffling to her feet. The boy finally opened his crimson eyes looking up at her from the ground.

"Eh, I guess it was my fault too," he said getting up and brushing the dirt off his pants. "So shorty, what are you doin' all the way out here?" he asked

She puffed her cheeks, she hated when people made fun of her size. "I was running, and if you don't mind, I'd like to get back to it," she said with more courage than she thought she had. The boy just smirked.

"Sorry Shrimp, but I suggest you go the other way,"

"Why?"

"Cause lunch starts in half an hour and you'll never get back in time goin' that way,"

Levy pulled her phone from her pocket and looked at the time. 12:00.

"Oh crap," she said under her breath.

"Camp ain't that far of a walk, come on," He said turning and walking in the direction he was going when they ran into each other. She stood still for a minute, contemplating whether or not to go with him.

Finally deciding to go she ran to catch up with him.

"I'm Gajeel by the way," he said after a few minutes of silence.

"Levy," she replied quietly.

"Your new right?"

"Yes,"

"I saw you at drum line tryouts, you a freshman?"

"No, I'm sophomore, I just transferred from Magnolia High,"

"Cool I guess. so whatcha think about band camp so far?"

"It's insane... At my old school, camp lasted on week, an it was only for half the day,"

Gajeel laughed, "Well you can't be the best high school regiment in the state without a lot of practice,"

"I guess your right..."


Lunch at the Canteen : 12:30-1:00

The food served was way better that Levy expected, everything tasted homemade. She was going to sit alone, but Gajeel insisted she sit with him and his rowdy friends. She didn't say anything the whole time, just watched as they all argued about who was stronger.


Free Time/Move into Cabins: 1:00-2:00

Finally it was almost time to move into cabins, Levy just had to wait until 2:00 when everyone's positions were announced along with cabin numbers. As she was leaving the Canteen though, to maybe wander in the woods instead of running through them, she was stopped by Gajeel.

"Hey Pip, you got a cell phone right?" He asked.

"It's Levy... And uh, yeah... Why?"

"Cause I want your number, duh,"

Levy was surprised to hear that, she only had a few contacts in her phone, and all most all of them were family members. "Um, okay..." she said awkwardly as he pulled out his phone and handed it to her, telling her to type her number. She carefully looked over each number, making sure they were right, and handed him him phone back.

"Cool, I'll text ya later, see ya squirt," he said running off to meet his friends.

Levy wandered around the camp after talking to Gajeel until it was finally almost 2:00.


Placement Posted Outside the Canteen: 2:00

Levy quickly made her way to the Canteen to see a crowd already there. She could see white papers hanging up all around the outside of the building, and could here random snippets of what people were saying like "Yes!" and "Aww man" or "Dang, maybe next year". She walked over to were one of the papers were and waited till some of the people standing in front of it cleared away. She examined the paper nervously.


Yay! Chapter one! (Don't kill me...)

This and the next chapter are the prologues, the story doesn't officially start until the third chapter (The first day of Band Camp).

The next chapter should be up in about two weeks (You can thank homework, after school band practice, and robotics club for that...)

Please tell me what you thought... I'd really appreciate it...

Byyyeee!
