"Loui!" Makarov said, marching into the dining hall. Lucy and Natsu both turned, as Lucy swallowed her biscuit. Lucy and Natsu seemed to have come to a truce, and lately, they have been getting more and more friendly towards eachother. It was a miracle, truly, but it still has been a glorious time, befriending the fiery and stubborn Natsu Dragneel of Fairy Tail. Natsu has noticed that Lucy and him seem to click on every topic. Being good friends with Natsu Dragneel in the band will get you a lot of points, and you have a good percentage of surviving more.
"We've decided that we're going to have a play in Crocus!" Makarov said. "I've signed you guys up. You're going to be playing for a bunch of rich Crocus residents!"
Lucy felt her stomach churn. "A-already?" Lucy stuttered. Makarov nodded. "Natsu! Loui will be your second vocal singer, as you are the melody already," Makarov explained. "Fair enough," Natsu said. Natsu got up from his chair, motioning for Lucy to sit up again. "If you screw up, you're dead!" Natsu said. His tone was scary, but he smiled teasingly. Lucy laughed nervously. "I'll come by to see how you guys rehearse," Makarov said. "I have to go visit someone."
"P-please," A beautiful woman said, holding a sick child's hand. "Don't give up." A single tear rolled down her pale cheek, as she grasped the child's hand. The child weakly smiled, putting her small hand ontop of the woman's. Cameras clicked in every corner. "Miss. Strauss," The mother said, trying not to cry. "She always wanted to be like you." The mother trembled, dropping her white handkerchief. The Strauss woman sobbed. "I-I'm sorry," She said. "I-I think I need to go outside." The cameras followed her every move, as the cameras flashed on every part of her. The Strauss woman walked out of the building, as people stared at this woman sobbing, as she walked to her van. The Strauss woman let out one final sob, as she wiped her eyes. She smiled deviously. "The Pixie of Crocus?" She said. "Don't make me laugh." She giggled deviously. She walked towards a van. "I hope that child wasn't contagious," She said, falsely worried. "It would be bad for Lisanna Strauss to be sick, wouldn't she?" She opened the door to her van. "Yo, Elfman," She said. "Pass me a tissue!" There was no reply. "Elfman? Tissue. Do you not know what that is!? T-I-S-S-U-" She was interrupted by the tissue box being thrown at her face. "Elfman!" She screamed, after recovering from the hit of the tissue box. "Urusei, so fuckin' noisy," A crabby voice said. Natsu opened his eyes slowly. "Who the fuck are you?" "Do you not know who I am!?" Lisanna screamed. "I'm the Pixie of Crocus!" Natsu took off his sunglasses. "Ahhh, you're that pixie?" Natsu said. Lisanna frantically nodded. "I never heard of you, fake pixie," Natsu said. Lisanna scoffed. "And who are you?" Lisanna said. "Me?" Natsu said. "Oh, I'm Natsu Dragneel of Fairy Tail. A pleasure-" Natsu coughed as he went on. "To meet you, fake pixie." Lisanna's blue orbs flew open. "That? You're that Natsu Dragneel?" Lisanna said. She held out a pen and the tissue box. Natsu looked at her, with a mean glare. "Pardon me! I want your autograph!" Lisanna beamed. Natsu grunted and took the pen. Score points for my beauty and kindness, Lisanna thought as she smirked. Natsu glided the pen across the tissue box. Lisanna sat back in her seat. Natsu gave the tissue box back to her. "Oh, my very own Fairy Tail tissue box, signed by Natsu Dragneel himself!" Lisanna said. "Don't get your hopes up, fake pixie," Natsu said. Lisanna furrowed her eyebrows as she slowly looked down. Frantic writing was scrawled ontop of the tissue box. It read, Get the hell out of my van. Lisanna scoffed. "I need a drive, so drive me," Lisanna said. She patted the driver's seat. Natsu snorted from the rear seat. "Can you not read?" Natsu raised his voice. "Get the fuck out of my van!" Lisanna huffed as she opened the car door. "Natsu Dragneel of Fairy Tail," Lisanna said. "You will pay for this." She slammed the car door. She walked towards a running Elfman. "Lisanna!" He panted, as he hauled to a stop. "We were looking all over for you!" Elfman's eye darted behind Lisanna. "The Fairy Tail van!?" Elfman screamed like a girl. "I need an autograph!" Lisanna took the tissue box out and shoved it in his hands. "Is this good enough?" Lisanna rudely snapped. She walked towards her own van. Elfman hugged the tissue box. "Wait up, Lisanna!" He said happily.
Natsu walked into the room, as Lucy played the keyboard as she closed her eyes, with headphones on. She began to recite the few notes on the paper, as she sung quietly. Natsu's eyes widened, as he looked at Lucy's beauty. He shook his head. "You're doing it wrong," Natsu said. Lucy opened her eyes, seeing Natsu's arrival. "Look," Natsu said. He walked over. "N-no, it's fine really!" Lucy said. Lucy stepped back, as Natsu got into her personal space. Natsu turned, as he pointed at the notes. Lucy blushed immensely, as she felt her heart pumping. Lucy sniffed Natsu. "Excuse me," Lucy said, as Natsu turned towards her, still close as hell. "Did you go and spend time with your girlfriend?" Natsu stared at Lucy. "That fake pixie isn't my girlfriend," Natsu said. "Excuse me?" Lucy said. "Nothing. Focus." Natsu said quite sharply. Lucy put her headphones back on, as she sang the last few notes. Natsu stared at her, feeling his heart starting to beat. Natsu looked away in the other direction, as he tugged at the collar of his shirt. "My, it's hot," Natsu said. Natsu rarely said anything was hot, because he liked the heat. It reminded him of the passion while he wrote his songs. "I find it c-cold," Lucy said. Natsu turned around, staring at Lucy's fumbling fingers. Natsu went behind her, as he wrapped his arms around Lucy. "U-UM!" Lucy chittered. "Is it warmer?" Natsu softly said. I am not gay. I am not gay. I am not gay. Lucy nodded. They stood together in an embrace. Gray tightened his grasp on the pillar, as he watched Natsu and Lucy embrace. "Natsu.." Gray whispered, eyes filled with tainted rage.
