Hey guys, so I think this chapter is going to be a little longer than my other chapters cause I have been wanting to write this SO MUCH! For the past week. So I hope you like it, please leave a review and Chow!
Fairy Tail High
As Lucy ran at top speed out of the coffee shop, her friends sat at their table, shocked. Never had Lucy run out like that, however she did normally leave earlier than today. Natsu was the most surprised out of all of them, not only because she had knocked him to the floor in her rush, but also because he had seen something in her bag that caught his attention. He never would have guessed why she would have that in her bag though.
"Well... that was... sudden?" The pinkett said, after Lucy had run out on them.
"Yeah..." Levy replied, a little sad that she didn't know where her best friend was going.
"Wait, didn't she say she was going to be late? Maybe she has a job?" Erza stated, trying to remember if Lucy had ever mentioned anything about a job before.
"Yeah, that's right. And as far as I remember, she has never said anything about a job," Loke mentioned, as if he was reading Erza's mind.
"Maybe she's embarrassed cause she's working at a club or something," Gray said as he drank his ice coffee that Juvia always bought for him.
"No way! Luce would never do that!" Natsu yelled, thinking much higher of Lucy then the others, though he had no idea why.
"I'm with Natsu on this one, bunny girl is way to... how do I say this... innocent to work at a club," Gajeel said, clearly having other thoughts that he could add but decided against it.
"Yeah, Lu-Chan would never do that! And besides, if she did wouldn't she have to wear scampy clothes? Lu-Chan would never do that! The most she will wear is a skirt and that's on a good day," Levy chimed in, trying to defend her close friend.
"I wouldn't put it past her if I were you," a certain raven haired boy continued, knowing it would only escalate from there. "But if you are so sure that it isn't something she would do, how about we put a little wager on that?"
Lucy had been running ever since she left the shop. She had barely made it in time and ran into the small cafe.
"Sorry I'm late Mr. Clive! I got caught up with my friends," Lucy explained, making Gildarts Clive, the owner of the cafe, just smile as a response.
"It's fine, your not really late, in fact your 10 minutes early!" He laughed at her loss for words. She frantically looked from her watch to the clock realizing that she was, in fact, early. She would normally leave her friends right now instead of 10 minutes ago.
"Oh, wow!" The blonde exclaimed, then quickly ran to the back to prepare for work.
Flashback the night before. Lucy's Apartment
"I have started to stay with my friends for a bit too long," Lucy laid in her bed, half awake, talking to herself. "If I start to stay any later, I'm going to be late for work. Oh! I got it!" Lucy stood up and marched over to where she kept her watch. She then proceeded to set it so it was ahead by 20 minutes. "May be a bit of an over kill, but it should get me to work, with enough extra time to let me warm up!" She then closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Present time, at Coffee Shop
"What do you mean bet?" Natsu was now intrigued, standing up from the floor and sitting where Lucy previously was.
"What I mean is, if you guys are so sure that Lucy wouldn't work at a place like that, then lets make a bet. If she does work at a club, then you have to dress up like your character from Wizards VS Monsters for a whole week!" Gray said, quite sure he would win.
"And what if you're wrong? Then what?" Natsu asked, practically saying that he was in.
"Then... you know what, you choose, it's not like you are gonna win anyway," the raven haired boy leaned back in his chair, linking his arms behind his head.
"Fine, if I win... you have to do me a favor, no matter how big it is, when I say that it's time!" Natsu smirked, knowing that Lucy would never work in such a nasty place.
"Deal!" Gray put his hand out for Natsu to shake, which he took then turned back to the rest of their group.
"Hello everyone! My name is Lucy and I will be entertaining you tonight!" Lucy spoke into the microphone that she always kept in her backpack so she wouldn't forget it when she went to work. "This first song was written by a great band called Coldplay and it's titled Viva La Vida. (A/N! I don't own this song, though it is my favorite. I would write my own songs for this if I didn't suck at writing so badly. Also, if you guys don't like having to read through lyrics, tell me in the comments and I won't do that anymore.)
Lucy brought her guitar up so both of her hands could reach where they needed to be. She had placed the microphone in the stand and began to strum the chords she knew so well.
I used to rule, the world.
Seas would rise when I gave the word,
Now in the morning I sweep, alone.
Sweep the streets I used to own.
Lucy loved this song. She felt a connection with it cause when she was little, she was always happy easily, all because of her mother.
I used to roll, the dice.
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes.
Listen as the crowd would sing,
Now the old king is dead, long live the king.
One minute I held the key,
Next the walls were closed on me,
and I discovered that my castles stand,
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand.
Lucy would run up to her mother whenever she had a problem, and her mother would comfort her, and make her smile. Her mother was her world, and she loved her so much.
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing.
Roman Calvary choirs are singing.
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield my, missionaries in a foreign feild.
For some reason I can't explain.
I know Saint Peters will call my name.
Never an honest word,
But that was when I ruled the world.
Her mother passed away however due to an unknown illness. Little Lucy felt so lost and hurt that she didn't know what to do anymore.
It was a wicked and wild wind.
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums.
People couldn't believe, what I'd become.
Revolutionaries wait,
For my head on a silver plate.
I'm just a puppet on a lonely string.
Oh who would ever wanna be king.
After the funeral, her father blocked her out, making her feel as if it were her fault. She had lost her world, her rock, and worst of all, her mother.
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing.
Roman Calvary choirs are singing.
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield my, missionaries in a foreign feild.
For some reason I can't explain.
Once you go there was never,
Never an honest word,
But that was when I ruled the world.
Lucy grew up practically on her own, besides some of the maids that kept her company. She learned to cook and took a large interest in reading, due to not much else to do.
Oooaaao
Oooaaao
Oooaaao
Oooaaao
As she approached 17 she was fed up with it. She couldn't stand getting blocked out or ignored anymore. So she ran away.
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing.
Roman Calvary choirs are singing.
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield my, missionaries in a foreign feild.
For some reason I can't explain.
I know Saint Peters will call my name.
Never an honest word,
But that was when I ruled the world.
She now lived in an apartment, alone. Not counting Natsu who would sneak into her house constantly and surprise her. She paid the rent with her job and loved the outside world much more than back at the Heartphillea Estate.
Oooo
Oooo
The audience cafe fell silent for a moment, before erupting with applause making Lucy blush. She hadn't even noticed that she had tears rolling down her face until after she had finished singing.
Back at the Coffee Shop
"Your bet seems like it would be pretty solid, if you hadn't forgotten one important detail," Levy said with her arms crossed and l feeling like she was going to face palm.
"And what would that be?" The pink haired boy asked, clearly confused.
"What if she doesn't have a job!" She practically shouted, making Gray and Natsu sit there for a moment, then slam their heads on the table.
"How could we have forgotten that!" Natsu asked, frustrated.
"Cause you're stupid?"
"Cause you don't think things through?"
"Because you jump to conclusions?" The others responded, making Natsu gain a large vain on his temple.
"Shut up!" He said then buried his face in his arms.
"Well they are correct," Jellal stepped in making Natsu ease a bit, knowing that him of all people wouldn't make fun of him.
"So how were we even going to figure out where she worked anyway?" Gray asked, making Natsu look at him like he was an idiot.
"Follow her when she left tomorrow, Ice-Brain," was all he responded before they were in an all out fight.
"Ash-Head!"
"Stripper!"
"Flame-Brain!"
"Ice-Princess!"
"Hot-Head!"
"Icicle!"
"Toaster-Oven!"
"Freeze-"
"Knock it off!" A furious red head shouted, getting the two to behave and sit down in their seats.
What did you think of Lucy's Job?
Is she going to find out about the bet?
And when will they invite the boy's to their "Reward" that they were promised if they passed!?
Thank you for reading, one of the jokes in this was given to me from my editor, PshhAnonymous. Please leave a review and Chow!
