Her True Talent

Lucy sighs as she glances around her class, it seems like Levy and Natsu will not be in the same class with her. Guess she will be all alone then. Class is starting, her teacher introduced himself as Professor Bickslow.

Lucy felt really lonely since no one is sitting beside her while the others have their own seatmates. Just as Professor Bickslow is about to start the class, Gajeel came in and mumbles, "Sorry, Prof. Got distracted on my way to school just now." Professor Bickslow nods his head, "You're forgiven, Redfox. Next time please arrive the class on time." Gajeel nods before heading towards his seat, which is at the back.

That's when he spotted Lucy and a grin makes its way to his face. Lucy smiles back and gestures to the seat beside her. Gajeel sits beside her without hesitation. Usually, he sits alone at the back. He refused any offers from his fan girls to sit beside them. And when the girl keeps persuading him, he turns them off abruptly with a 'You're annoying'.

The fact that he can sit beside Lucy somehow makes him feel comfortable. Lucy whispers excitedly, "Gajeel! Thank Mavis you are here. I thought I will be so lonely!" Gajeel smirks back, "Me too, bunny-girl. You still admire that author really much, huh?"

Lucy exclaims, "Of course! Mavis Vermillion is a great author! She's brilliant, gorgeous, beautiful, intelligent…" Gajeel snorts, "Okay I get it, don't list out all of them. Knowing you, you could probably go on and on until the next day." Lucy gives Gajeel a playful punch on his shoulder before returning to listen to her class. Biology lecture will be more fun with Gajeel by her side.

Suddenly, something brushed Lucy's leg, making her suppress a small squeal. She immediately looks down to see a black cat rubbing itself against her leg. She froze, knowing that no pets are allowed in school. But when she saw the cat gazing at her beseechingly with its glowing brown eyes melt her heart instantly.

Lucy carefully places her bag on the floor under her desk and pretend to search for something. Gajeel asks, "What are you doing, bunny-girl?" Lucy remains bending forward (To avoid making Gajeel see the black cat) and replies, "J...Just finding my notes." Gajeel raises his eyebrow, "You make notes?" Lucy stammers, "Y...Ya sure, why not?"

Gajeel said dryly, "You are the first person I've seen making notes for Biology." Lucy squirms slightly in her seat while holding the cat so that it doesn't run away (Which it has attempted to for more than ten times). Lucy replies, "Urm...Well...Levy-chan makes notes too." Gajeel blinks, "Oh wait, shrimp does... Well, it's not like I have biology class with her... Hey, are you alright?"

Lucy froze and squeaks, "Y...Ya, just... My bag's kinda messy and..." Suddenly, Professor Bickslow coughs and said, "Gajeel Redfox, please pay attention to my class when I'm teaching." Gajeel grunts and looks at the teacher while he resumes class.

Lucy heaves a sigh of relief and using her handkerchief, she lays it flat inside her bag and gently carries the black cat inside her bag. She prays to herself, 'For Mavis's sake, please settle down!' Luckily, the cat seems to like the place and after patting the handkerchief down with its feet, it lays down and sleeps. Lucy smiles and resumes her class.

Gajeel frowns and asks, "Your notes... Have you found them?" Lucy replies nervously, "Urm... No, I guess I left them at home..." Gajeel nods but blinks in confusion when he saw a paper lying on the floor between them, "Bunny-girl... Is that your notes?" Lucy hurriedly picks it up and smiles, "Yes it is, guess I brought it after all!"

Gajeel peers at the paper and comments, "Wait... Those are what Prof taught us just now..." Lucy squeaks, "I...Is it?" Gajeel sweatdrops, "Don't tell me you have forgotten you're doing notes and..." Luckily for Lucy, the bell rings at the moment. Lucy packs her things up quickly and said, "I gotta go meet Levy-chan, bye!"

Lucy meets Levy at the secret garden, which they like to call it. Levy cried out, "Hey, Lu-chan! You're finally here! How's your day? I've missed you so much!" Lucy smiles at her best friend, "I missed you too, Levy-chan! I have a class of biology with Gajeel just now. The lesson's plain boring, but having Gajeel as a seatmate is kinda fun."

Levy frowns, "You're seatmates with Gajeel..." Lucy asks worriedly, "Is anything wrong?" Levy laughs it off and sparks another conversation with Lucy, "Lu-chan, have you heard?! Zeref is going to publish another book called "The curse of Ankhseram"! I will definitely buy it as soon as it is published!"

Lucy gasps, "Oh that's awesome! I will buy it for sure. His most popular book "Book of END" is so awesome! Have you read it? The characters…" Soon, they both end up in their world of books and spent the recess happily while chatting.

Lucy has another lecture of Physics. Luckily, her teacher is absent and she got to talk to Gajeel more. They are in a middle of a conversation about their lives before Gajeel asks, "Hey Lucy, Urm...H...How's…your brother Romeo? Still happy as always?" Lucy gapes at him to which Gajeel shifts in his seat uncomfortably, "W…what?"

Lucy exclaims, "You just stuttered! AND, you called me and my brother by our NAME! What's wrong with you?!" Gajeel groans, "Oh come on, do you really want me to call you by your nickname all the time?" Lucy argues, "You are the one who proposed it! I've been telling you the whole time NOT to call me that name yet you did not even bother me! And now, you're actually ASKING ME if I wanted it? Seriously! What is wrong with you?!"

Lucy proceeds to shake him back and forth to make sure he's wide awake and place her hand on his forehead to check his body temperature. Lucy frowns, "You seemed wide-awake... And your body's temperature is alright..."

Gajeel growls, frustrated, "Oh come on, bunny-girl! Stop that!" Lucy at once cried out in relief, "Oh thank Mavis you're back! I was so worried! What happened to you?" Gajeel mutters, "Whatever" After a few minutes of silence, Lucy asks softly, "Hey Gajeel, what time do all members of Blazing Bright arrive the music room?"

Gajeel ponders, "Let's see…about 2:50 to 3:00. Some of them arrive there early, why?" "Urm…do you think I can go there earlier? I kinda want to check the room out properly, it seems cool, you know. I never really get to try out those instruments." "Yeah sure, do you want me to go with you?" "No! I mean, I would prefer it if I go there alone." "If so, I suggest you go now since it's 2:30." "Right, thanks, Gajeel!"

The blonde excuses herself from the teacher before she runs to the music room (Actually, the teacher is threatened by Gajeel's hard glare…...but let's get back to the story). Lucy arrives the music room to find it empty, 'Perfect!' She throws her bag across the room before sitting at the piano.

Truth to be told, she knows how to play her piano well. Her mother taught her before. She skims her fingers over the keys, feeling the warmth in them. She can only play the piano at the Heartfillia Estate. Silver-san has always allowed her to play since it is her piano, after all. Lucy did not move the piano to her new house as she doesn't have enough space.

She misses the feeling of it. She always does play and sing, singing all her emotions out. She played a few keys and her face broke off into an ear-splitting grin. She plays a tune that she made, called "River flows in you".

It's a relaxing song which always makes her feel at ease and remembered the good times with her family. She ends it softly before starting another tune she made, called "Reminiscent". That song has more of a flow to it, making it sounds elegant and graceful. She felt her heart combine with the piano as she plays the tune. She can't help but smile the whole time.

When she finished, she looks at her watch, showing her she still has 6 minutes left. She can still play at least one more song. She chooses the song she made with lyrics, a song called "Behind these hazel eyes" which she creates after she read a book about drama, tragedy, hurt, and romance. She begins to sing softly,

Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore...
Anymore...

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Lucy finishes and is preparing to stop playing until she heard a way too familiar voice rings out, "That's absolutely stunning" Her heartbeat stops for a second there before she turns a 180 degree to see Natsu Dragneel there, his arms crossing as he leans against the wall. She would have blushes by his appearance if she hadn't been afraid of being caught.

She avoids eye contact as Natsu approaches her slowly and asks softly, "Who do you dedicate this song to?" Lucy answer just as softly, "A character of a book" Natsu smiles at her to which she ignores and remains silent. Natsu finally broke the silence, "Why, Luce?" Lucy winces as he just asks the question she's been terrified of. She averts her gaze instantly.

Natsu frowns, "Lucy..." Lucy gives up instantly at the strong gaze and the pleading sound. She sighs, "Look, Natsu. I'm really not confident in myself. I don't want to be the reason that gets all of Blazing Bright down. I played badly, I'm really nervous when I'm on stage, I really can't…" Natsu hugs her as she sobs, "I…I'm sorry."

Natsu looks at her with a serious look, "Luce, I'm not forcing you... Do you want to join Blazing Bright?" Lucy wanted to just shake her head but stops almost at once as she saw Natsu's serious face. He whispers, "Please think about it carefully." She knows what he wants alright. He wants her to choose a decision that she won't ever regret. She thought about the consequences as Natsu awaits her reply.

She wants to join the band, she wants to have so much fun with her friends and music. It's what she always dreamed of, to become a member of a popular band. She wants it. But at the same time, she doesn't think she can do it. She really doesn't want to bring the whole band down, that would be even worse. She doesn't know what to choose at all.

She closes her eyes as she inwardly seeks for Mavis and her mom's help. In a flash, she remembers her mom's wise words that are exactly same as the books of Mavis Vermillion, 'Lucy dear, always listen to your heart.' And that made up her mind. Her heart is screaming at her to join the band, and have more confidence in herself. And for once, Lucy Heartfilia is going to listen to her heart and makes the right choice for herself.

She replies softly, "I... I want to join in." Natsu smile, "Then you're in! I know you won't disappoint us. Even if you do, try harder next time. You've joined in Fairy Tail, Lucy, you are one of our family now, do you best and I'm sure you will make all of us proud of you."

Lucy smiles as tears begin to form in the corner of her eyes, "Yes!" Natsu chuckles, "Well then, let's get back to practicing." Lucy turns around to find all her friends standing there, staring at her with a frown, making her froze in surprise. All of them look at her in mix emotions, but Lucy could sense hurt in it.

She looks down and mumbles, "Sorry, everyone." Levy whispers, "Lu-chan…" Levy steps forward and embraces Lucy into a hug. Erza joins in the hug and said, "It's okay, Lucy. I know how you feel; It's hard to know you're being accepted into something this big while you think of yourself as someone with a small standard. But now you're one of us, you've got to think differently! It may seem hard in the beginning, but you'll do great! All of us are here to help, never forget that, Lucy."

Lucy whispers, "And what if I do bring the whole band down?" Jellal smile at her, "We won't mind, and I'm sure you will learn from the experience and do better the next time." Lucy frowns, "And what if..." Gray interrupts, "Just stop with the 'What if', have confidence in yourself! Even if you don't, we still believe in you, Lucy."

Lucy smile as a tear escapes from her eyes. She whispers, "Thank you." She dries up her tears and asks, "So…...urm…...what do you all do to practice?" Levy gestures at Natsu before bending down and collects her Science textbook which she threw at Natsu yesterday (Thank God there's no Science today, she has forgotten to collect the book again).

Natsu said, "As the Grand Tournament is coming, we will be making new songs... Does anyone has any idea?" No one speaks up, making Natsu sigh, "Then just try to make a song, the others will join in afterward."

Lucy nods and sits back on the piano playing some random chord progression that's in her mind. Gray and Natsu play some strings of notes with their guitar, Loke and Jellal play their electric guitar, Erza plays her violin while Gajeel plays his drum, Lucy frowns, she knows some great chord progression, but right now her mind felt extremely empty.

Suddenly, a meow sounded. She froze and snaps her head towards the sound. In fact, everyone did the same. On the center of the music room, the black cat that was previously in Lucy's bag has escaped and is now sitting on the floor licking his fur.

Gray asks slowly, "Is that a cat?" Natsu comments, "He looks just like Happy." Levy cooed, "Aww~ How cute!" Loke states, "It would have been better if it's a tabby cat..." Jellal sweatdrops, "Urm... I'm sure the windows and doors are locked... How did this one come in?" Erza said angrily, "Cats are not allowed inside the school, just who..."

Lucy instantly rushes to its side and explains, "No don't! You see, it's actually a cat I found in class today. I kept it inside my bag so that it won't interrupt the class..." Erza looks uneasy, "Well... I... I supposed you aren't to blame..." When suddenly, Gajeel cried out, "My cat! So there it is!"

Everyone stares at him as if he's crazy. Lucy argues, "I found him first! How can he be your cat?" Gajeel snaps, "I found him on the way to school and brought it to school. I didn't realize he had escaped." Loke stood there, dumbfounded, "You like cats?" Gajeel grunts, "Why not?" Natsu whispers quietly to Gray, "I'm sure this isn't Gajeel... Maybe he's someone in disguise... to blackmail us or whatever... Let's just pretend to be his friends and give him a sudden attack, what do you say?"

Gray sweatdrops, "That's exactly what I said yesterday... But I agree with you. So how do we attack?" The black cat suddenly escapes Gajeel's hold and pounce on Erza's shoes while scratching it to his own will. Erza trembles in anger while everyone froze in horror. Gray exclaims, "Is he suicidal?! I mean he can sense danger better than us, right?"

Erza pulls out her katana and aims it at the black cat, "How dare you! Defying the school rules and scratching my shoes too! PREPARE FOR DEATH, YOU WORTHLESS CAT!" To everyone's horror, Erza begins to swing the sword about, trying to slash the cat. Gajeel shrieks, "Stop it, you mad woman! He's my cat! Don't you dare..."

He didn't get to finish his sentence when Natsu and Gray pounce on him, "Got you! Trying to disguise as Gajeel, eh? What is your true intention?" Gajeel cried out, "GET OFF ME, YOU MORONS! MY CAT!" Surprisingly, the cat defended himself pretty well and dodges all Erza's attack.

Natsu mumbles, "What do you know, he's not suicidal..." Erza smirks sadistically at that, "Oh? You know how to dodge my katana I see. Well then, I will just have to..." Ignoring Gajeel's cry and protest, Erza is about to step on the cat's tail to pin it on the ground and slash it when Lucy steps in and rescue the cat.

She pleads, "Nee-san, please stop trying to kill this innocent cat. It's not his fault that he got carried here." Hearing Lucy called her 'nee-san' was enough to calm her down. But instead, she declares, "Then it's Gajeel's fault who brought it to the school. GAJEEL, PREPARE YOURSELF!"

Gajeel tried to escape but failed with Natsu and Gray pinning him down. Erza points her katana at him and declares, "YOU WILL EXPERIENCE HELL FOR DEFYING THE SCHOOL RULES." Gray adds, "AND for disguising as Gajeel." Gajeel protests angrily, "I TOLD YOU I'M GAJEEL, IDIOTS!"

Before Erza can damage Gajeel, Jellal who pities Gajeel's situation, places his hand reassuringly on Ezra's shoulder, "Erza, calm down! You shouldn't be wasting the school's money to call the ambulance for him, just forgive him. And for you both, Gray and Natsu, I'm sure this is Gajeel all right..."

Erza calmed down instantly and stammers with a blush on her face, "Y...You're right, let's get back to practice..." Natsu and Gray look at Gajeel and frowns, "Now that I see it... It DOES seem like Gajeel..." "You're right, no one can pierce so many piercings as him..." "And his rough attitude..." "And his evil-looking eyes..." "HOLY SHIT! IT'S GAJEEL!"

Levy sweatdrops, "You guys just realize it now?" Natsu sigh, "Seriously, wasting our time for this... Let's get back to practicing, guys!" Gajeel swears his revenge against Natsu and Gray in that minute. But not before thanking Jellal for saving his life and Lucy for saving his cat.

Back to practicing, Lucy frowns as she does not have any idea. The others are playing quite well, though some do sound weird. Suddenly, she heard Natsu getting up and goes to a room that she hasn't noticed.

With curiosity filling her, she got up to follow him. Natsu, hearing Lucy's footsteps, turns around and instantly smiles, "Hey Luce" "Hi Natsu…what is this room for?" "It's our small dining room. I don't really have anything in mind, I thought I should go get a drink for myself. What do you want, Luce?"

Lucy waves her hand in front of her and laughs nervously, "I just want to check out the room, that's all." Natsu chuckles, "I mean what beverage would you like, Luce?" "O... Oh, I would like a hot chocolate with a little warm milk and marshma…never mind, hot chocolate would be fine."

Natsu, instead of placing the cup in the coffee machine, pulls out a pack of cocoa powder and make it himself. He puts in 2 cups of cocoa powder, fill in the warm water and finishes with a touch of milk, creating a shape of an autumn leaf, making Lucy gapes at him in awe. He somehow got out a pack of marshmallows and adds some to it. Lucy's eyes instantly brighten up, that is just perfect!

But when Lucy is about to accept the drink, Natsu slowly reach it to himself, making Lucy's heart drop, 'Oh…of course he will only do it for himself…' But Natsu just chuckles and said, "I'm jus kidding. Here's your order, milady." Lucy blushes as the warmth returns to her heart, "Th…thank you, Natsu."

She takes a sip before sighing happily, "That is soooooo delicious!" Natsu smiles, "You're welcome, Luce. You know, you really should wear that dress often. It's really nice on you." Lucy blushes slightly, "No... I don't think it suits me..." Natsu blinks in confusion, "Why not? You looked beautiful in it."

Lucy shakes her head in disagreement, "No way, I'm not beautiful. Erza-san and Mira-san are, as well as Cana and Levy-chan." Natsu stares pointedly at her, "Honestly Luce, you are the most beautiful person I've ever seen!" Natsu has a tint of pink in his cheeks as he confesses that.

Lucy blushes too and is about to respond until a voice interrupts them, "Come on, lovebirds. Stop making-out and go make a new song instead!" Lucy blushes a brilliant red and turns to see Gray standing there, smirking. Natsu rolls his eyes, "Look at yourself before jumping into conclusion, Fullbuster!"

Gray look at himself before yelping to see his shirt missing…... again. Lucy sighs, "Seriously, Gray. You should stop your stripping habit. It's getting worse." Gray shot her an apologetic glance but Lucy yelps, horrified, "Gray! You're seriously not doing that in front of me!" Gray frowns and looks down…... his hand had unconsciously trying to strip out of his pants. He cried out in astonishment, "I swear I don't know it!" Natsu moves to cover Lucy's eyes from behind, making Lucy blush at the sweet gesture. Natsu hiss at Gray "Put some clothes on for god's sake!"

Suddenly, a voice joins them, "Hey guys, exactly what took you so…..." ...

...

...

Gray felt his soul left his body at the person in front of him. Of all people, it just has to be Erza Scarlet.

Erza yells out in frustration, "GRAY FULLBUSTER! Exactly what do you think you're walking around SHIRTLESS?! And IN FRONT OF MY POOR SISTER TOO! Prepare to die, you heartless bastard!" Lucy could hear a sound of Gray's crying and shout of help, and strangely, a sound of metal crashing all over the room…'Oh, it's Erza's katana' Lucy thought as she shudders at that thought.

She heard Natsu whispers shakily, still covering her eyes, "You may not want to see this AT ALL, Luce. Let's go." Natsu leads Lucy out before uncovering her eyes. The first thing she saw is the other members looking at them, frowning. All of them have a worried stare but all of them instantly calm down when they saw Lucy, SAFE from the demon and the horror scene. Levy sighs in relief to see her friend safe, but her skin jumps out in fright as another shriek of Gray sounded. Levy sweatdrops, "Poor Gray..."

Minutes later, Erza and Gray exited, Gray looking absolutely terrible. He whimpers, "I'm terribly sorry, Lucy, I really didn't mean to do that in front of you!" Lucy helps him up and smiles, "It's fine, Gray. I'm quite used to it now."

Erza's eyes widen, "You're used to it?! GRAY! DON'T TELL ME YOU…" Gray cried out, "I really didn't, Erza, please!" Lucy holds Erza back and said, "Gray didn't strip in front of me, Erza! Calm down, nee-san!" Erza, hearing Lucy calls her 'nee-san' again, places her katana back, "Of course, my little sister, I trust you 100%." Gray sighs in relief and gives Lucy a grateful smile. All of them get back to practice as Lucy, once again struggling to find a rhythm or melody. Suddenly, she heard Natsu getting a melody and begins humming. She stops and gazes at him.

Natsu strum a cheerful rhythm and soon everyone in the room is stopping whatever they're doing and turns their attention towards him. He started two bars before singing softly,

You're insecure,
Don't know what for,
You're turning heads when you walk through the door,
Don't need make-up,
To cover up,
Being the way that you are is enough,

Gajeel and Jellal have joined in his rhythm, Gajeel playing the drum while Jellal plays the electric guitar.

Everyone else in the room can see it,
Everyone else but you,

Natsu gaze at Lucy passionately making the blonde blushes while he continues to sing,

Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh, oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
If only you saw what I can see,
You'd understand why I want you so desperately,
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
You don't know,
Oh, oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh, oh,
That's what makes you beautiful

Right now, Loke has joined in as well, leaving Lucy, Erza and Gray to stare at him in amazement.

So c-come on.
You got it wrong.
To prove I'm right
I put it in a song.
I don't know why
You're being shy,
And turn away when I look into your eye-eye-eyes,

Everyone else in the room can see it,
Everyone else but you,

Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
If only you saw what I can see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately,
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,
That's what makes you beautiful

Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na [x2]

Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,

You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,

Natsu sings so passionately making Lucy blushes harder as his gaze never left hers. It's almost as though he's singing it for her. She felt touched at that thought. She couldn't help but smile at him as Natsu smirks back,

Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
If only you saw what I can see,
You'll understand why I want you so desperately,
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe,
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're beautiful,
Oh oh,

That's what makes you beautiful

Natsu ends with that, making the whole room burst with applaud. Gray cried out, "What the hell man? When have you ever have the ability to make a song so beautiful yet so fast?" Erza said shakily, clearly shocked, "Natsu, I've never recalled you making a song so fast yet touching. You've even done the lyrics!"

Levy gapes at him as she shakes Lucy's shoulder, making her dizzy, "Lu-chan! What did you do to Natsu?" Lucy cried out, "Levy-chan, stop it!" Levy ignores as she gaze at Natsu in pure amazement.

Suddenly, a ring of a watch can be heard as Gray cried out, "Finally it's time! Let's go to the Silverspark's cafe, gang!" Lucy asks, "Really?" Erza nods, "That café is the best, you've got to try it, Lucy!" All of them pack their bags before leaving with Gray, but not before patting Natsu on the back at his amazing work.

They left Natsu and Lucy as they pack their bags ever so slowly. Before they left, Natsu smirks and whispers at Lucy's ears (a habit…I guess), "That song's for you, Luce. You're beautiful." With that, Natsu exits leaving Lucy blushing a shade of dark red. He calls out innocently, "Come on, Lucy! Gray and Erza don't like to wait!" Lucy grabs her bag and cried out, "Coming, wait for me!"
