The morning after was their day off. They would receive the rankings and a new challenge that evening. When the girls woke up, Levy was gone. They stormed into the boys room, but they didn't know where she was either. It took all morning, but eventually Gajeel found her, sitting at a small cafe, reading a book.
...
Of course she was. He stormed up to her and slammed his hand onto the table, scaring a few passerbyes in the process.
"Where have you been? All of us have been worried sick and looking for you all morning." Gajeel scowled. Levy didn't even look up from her book.
"I've been here. Reading. I wanted to read somewhere quiet," She emphasized quiet. "because I knew I'd never read in peace around you guys. I sent you and Lucy a text." Gajeel checked his phone. Sure enough, one new message, plus a message from Lucy saying not to worry. Levy finally looked up from her book. She deadpanned. "You didn't even check your phone?" Sighing, Levy closed her book and stood up, totally undeterred by the difference in size. She pointed a finger at his chest.
"Stupid people can not notice a message. But only a select few can walk around all morning without checking his phone. You can't storm in here saying its my fault you were an idiot. Just leave me alone, ok?" She walked away, leaving a dumbstruck Gajeel staring at the place her finger had touched his chest.
Levy walked until she almost ran into multiple people, then she decided she'd better get her head out of the clouds. She found a bench on the outskirts of a nearby park, and opened her book again, getting completely engrossed in the romantic love story. She was so entranced, she didn't notice the frisbee that almost hit her in the head, nor did she notice two men behind her calling her name. She was only knocked out of her reverie when a hand placed itself on her shoulder.
"Levy?" A familiar voice asked. Levy turned around, only to be met with a tall figure with orange hair, and another figure that was slightly… err…. Larger than the former.
"Jet? Droy? Oh my goodness! It's you!" She jumped up and rushed around the bench to hug her old friends. "What are you guys doing in Crocus?" She pulled away and smiled at the two men.
"We were on a job! We were on our way back to Magnolia today." Droy answered. "You look great Levy!" Levy smiled and hugged them again.
"What are you doing here, Levy?" Jet asked.
"Well, about a year ago, I joined a band… and we're participating in the Grand Music Games this year!" She said cheerfully.
"Really? That's awesome Levy!" Jet enthusiastically grinned.
"Thanks! Hey, today's our day off, and its almost noon, why don't we all go out for lunch? My treat!" Levy offered. Jet and Droy shook there heads.
"We can't let you pay for us! We just got paid for our job, so it'll be our treat, ok?" Droy insisted.
He was currently sitting on a low branch of a tree. He wasn't spying, of course not. He was just making sure she would be ok, that's all. So it was a totally normal reaction to growl possessively when those two clowns walked up behind the small girl.
…
Wait was she hugging them? Who the hell are these walking fashion disasters? He was sure they would never see the light of day again.
…
Wait, what? Where are they going? Shit. Should he follow, or should he just let it go. Ha, like hell he was going to let it go.
…
Wait, again… Why did he care? What gave him the right to judge these two guys who were obviously the Shrimps friends?
…
Oh, shit. He knew why, he just didn't want to admit it.
…
Shit.
Levy ate a wonderful lunch with the two men, catching up with them on life and her band stuff.
"So you guys travel around a lot?" Levy asked her friends, stirring her tea. Jet nodded.
"Yeah, we take a lot of different jobs everywhere, so we get a lot of cultural experience too."
"Thats amazing! I'm so happy for you guys!" Levy beamed, Jets heart melted. She checked her orange watch. "I'm so sorry guys, but i have to get back to the Inn in twenty minutes, or Erza will kill me…" She stood, up, Jet and Droy standing up with her.
"It's ok, Lev, we enjoyed catching up with you! Seems you got a a lot on your plate with this band stuff." Droy placed a few jewels on the table to pay for lunch. Levy chuckled.
"Yes, I really do. It was so good to see you again." She hugged them both and started to walk away, but sent a smile and wave behind her shoulder. They waved back.
Levy made her way to the Honey Bone Inn, and she was almost there when she got a text from Lucy.
From Lucy, 1:30 pm:
Where are you?! We have to leave in 10 min!
To Lucy, 1:32 pm:
I'm almost there! I had lunch with Jet and Droy
From Lucy, 1:33 pm:
Jet and Droy? Why were they in Crocus?
Levy didn't respond, as she was about to walk through the door of the Inn. She walked up to their room and was bombarded by Erza.
"Where have you been? We have to leave in five minutes!" Levy smiled sheepishly and shrugged.
"I'm sorry, I had a late lunch." Erza sighed.
"Alright, but you'd better not be late again. Now where is Gajeel?" She asked murderously.
"I'm right here." Said missing man walked through the door, arms crossed and a equally murderous look on his face. "Lets go."
"Welcome to the second elimination of the Grand Music Games! Is everyone comfortable? And here we go!
"In last place is…. Blue pegasus! I'm sorry but please exit the stage. Now we have only four bands left! In fourth place is Quatro Cerberus! Third place is Lamia Scale! Second place issssssssssssssssssssss…"
Everyone was holding their breath. Chapati waited a good minute before completing his sentence.
"Sabertooth! Which means The Fairy Tones and the Metal Armada is in First Place! Congratulations!"
Gajeel and Natsu high fived, Lucy and Levy hugged, Juvia also hugged Gray, and Jellal and Erza shook hands, the formal bastards.
Across the room, Erza noted a black haired woman smack two boys upside their heads. The blond one looked like he wanted to fight back, and the dark haired one remained stoic.
Erza was torn from her observant nature when Chapati's voice rang through the studio again.
"This week's challenge is a bit different! There will be no elimination this round, but the points you score go to whether you get eliminated next round! The bands will be working together! Lamia Scale will work with FTMA, and Sabertooth with Quatro Cerberus! The two teams will pick a Disney song to rehearse and perform! Get to work you guys and good luck!"
A/N: I know, no song, but there will be a Disney song in the next one! Please review I need ideas and motivation! Love you guys! You should totally go check out my other ongoing story, Holidays! Like right now!
Also, I don't own Disney!
