"Get serious you guys!" Jellal scolded the laughing boys. "We need to be ready for the next concert."
Natsu, Gray, Loke and Gajeel laughed.
Jellal sighed. "How about we practice a song or two to warm up."
The boys glanced at each other as if to say 'I don't know..'
Natsu smiled.
"Sounds good enough."
Gray through him a mic.
"Let's do it!" Loke yelled. He grabbed his guitar.
Gray picked up his guitar.
Gajeel grabbed his drum sticks. "Geehee."
The boys looked at Jellal.
"Ready when you are." Gray said.
Jellal sat behind his keyboard in satisfaction.
"3.2.1..."
Lucy stared in wonder as the beat of the music started.
Wait a minute.
She heard this somewhere before...
But she could've sworn she never heard any of their songs. She didn't even know about this band before she met Natsu!
She smiled as memories of the song flooded her mind. She used to sing this all the time when it first came out.
How weird of her to not remember it...
[Natsu]
Merry go round.
In a world of turning dreams
I'll never forget the side of your face,
before welcoming the morning
The pace of the music started to pick up.
The girls made sounds of amazement as Lucy stared at the boys in wonder.
[Natsu]
"I never want to see your face again" She said over her shoulder.
tears running down your cheeks..
It always seems like your going to,
drown in the waves of unpredictability.
You probably had to endure your tears.
Natsu looked at Lucy.
"You're a strong person." Is what everyone says, overestimating you.
And before you knew it
"You lost sight of the real you.." Lucy finished.
The help-mates light which should've shone on you has gone
The truth and lies of that time,
are all erased.
Merry go round.
a world of turning dreams
I'll never forget the side of your face,
before welcoming the morning..
Gray and Loke highfived Natsu as he finished.
Lucy watched in wonder.
Why would Natsu look at her like that during the song?
It's so weird.
Huh? Is someone calling her?
"Lucy! Lucy!" Levy nudged her.
Lucy blinked and turned to the group.
"Huh?"
"We were asking if you'd like to sing a song or something." Mirajaine smiled.
Lucy looked around the room for another person named Lucy. Seeing none she pointed at herself and scoffed.
"M-me?!"
The girls nodded in excitement.
"Juvia would like to hear Lucy-sans vocals."
Lucy crossed her hands and thought about it. "I don't knowww..."
"I'd like to hear it too." Loke smiled.
Lucy furrowed her eyebrows in thought.
"Pleeeeasee." Natsu begged.
"...mmm fine. But not because you asked me too!" The blonde blushed.
The girls highfived each other in success.
Lucy stood up in front of them as they watched eagerly. She was starting to get a little nervous actually..
Natsu gave her a small smile.
She smiled back feeling a little more confident.
Alrighty then..
[Lucy]
Please, please can you keep my secret?
In the sparkling mirror, just what kind of image do I reflect.
As future waves its inviting hand at us,
just what kind of things will happen from this point on.
What you see is not the everything.
Looks can be deceiving!
Even if I get absorbed in something, thats alright,
Without getting lost, I wanna try.
I want to honest with my feelings.
But there's always one or two little secrets I'd like to keep to myself.
Because, my secret makes my heart ache a little...
Lucy looked timidly at the crowd.
Mirajaine smiled. "What a nice song."
"And a great singing voice." Erza commented eating a slice of strawberry cake, as the others agreed.
Natsu grinned. "I didn't know you could sing like that Lucy."
She laughed nervously. "I don't see it as a talent. "
Jellal smiled. "Well you should. You have a great voice."
"Thank you."
"Hey does anyone want any drinks? I'm going to the kitchen." Gray offered as he sat up.
"I want strawberry! "
"Water...sorry."
"Ice tea!"
"Ice tea would be nice."
"I want ice tea too with lemon!"
"Orange Juice."
"Water."
"I want flaming cheetos!"
"I want icecream.."
Gray tsked. "What the hell you guys I'm not a waiter!"
He sighed and turned to Lucy. "What do you want?"
"That's alright I'm fine."
"Are you sure?"
She nodded. "I'm sure. I was going to the bathroom anyway."
"Alright then." Gray said going to the kitchen.
Lucy stood up and walked to the hallway.
She reversed and turned to the group. "Where is the bathroom?.."
Levy chuckled.
"Go down the hallway, make a right and 1st door to your left."
"Arigato muchacho!"Lucy grinned.
Lucy closed the door and turned on the sink, splashing some cool water in her face.
That felt nice...
It was starting to get a little hkt in there from all the stares she received.
She never was one to be able to deal with standing in front of crowds of people.
She loked at her face in the mirror.
But then again it was just 9 persons..
She dried her face off with a towel.
Lucy took a deep breathe and slalped her face.
Alright..no need to be nervous Lucy...just be yourself...you can trust everyone here too.
She opened the bathroom door.
Lucy's eyes widened as she was about to scream but a hand covered her mouth.
"Yooo." Natsu greeted with a grin.
Lucy pulled his hand off her mouth. " What the..Natsu! Don't 'Yooo' me! You scared the crap out of me!"
Natsu smirked. "Technically, I didn't. "
She flicked his forehead.
"Y-you know what I mean!" She huffed.
Silence followed as Natsu looked at Lucy.
She blinked.
He blinked.
She blinked.
He blinked.
Lucy started to get annoyed at this little game he was playing and started to walk away.
Natsu found himself holding onto her hand as shestopped walking.
"N-Natsu?"
He smiled.
"Yes?"
"Why are you holding my hand?"
"Why is the moon white?" He questioned back.
"But the moon is gray.."
"That's what they want you to think!"
"Natsu! Why were you here anyway?"
Natsu blinked and grinned goofily as he remembered. "Oh yeah! I wanted to ask you a question.
Lucy raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "A question?.."
He nodded.
He pulled her in closer and looked her in the eye seriously.
"You're that runaway princess aren't you?"
Here I am again! ^_^
Doesn't that song Lucy sang fit her situation right now XD.
Well atleast I thought so :3
Also, should I make a sequel to "Please don't remind me" and "What Animal Are you?"
See you peoples later :D
