Chapter 12: Rehearse Day
Normal POV
Classes were already over and Lucy was waiting at the front gate for Gajeel to come through
As soon as she saw him she made eye contact and he walked over to her. They both were silent at first.
"I'm sorry Gajeel" Lucy looked down "you were only worried about me yet I hit you"
"I guess I deserved it. I opened my mouth to much and made you remember something scary" Gajeel exhaled "I'm sorry as well"
"Are we good?" Lucy smiled
"We're good" he laughed
"Good because me and Rogue need you to come to a rehearsal studio so we can make sure we can play the song nicely"
"Okay when are we going?"
"Now. I just need to find out where one is" Lucy took out her phone
"There's one but we have to take the bus"
"Alright. I'll call him" Lucy took out her phone
Gajeel eyed her keychain "oh? When did you get that?"
"Umm… Today…"
He stared at it for a long time "it reminds me of that kid…. Umm….Natsu Dragoneel"
Lucy froze "ha…. You don't say….." She looked through her phone not looking up at Gajeel who was eyeing her
She put the phone up to her ear "Hey Rogue, my brother says he knows where a studio is"
She listened then spoke again "yeah meet us at the bus stop"
"Tell him to get my guitar in my room" Gajeel said
"Gajeel asked you to get his guitar in his room"
She smiled "okay thanks, see you there!" Lucy hung up the phone and put it in her pocket
"He's gonna meet us there, along with Sting"
"Alright good" Gajeel started walking out of the gate "let's go then"
"Ah Lucy!" Levy ran up to the two siblings. She hesitated as she saw Gajeel
"Hey Levy what's up?"
Gajeel just stood there silently watching the little blue haired girl
"All of us girls will be going to the mall tomorrow after school, and I wanted to invite you" she laughed "you know what they say. The more the merrier"
"That's so nice! I would love to!" Lucy hugged Levy "oh. And I finished my song. I'll let you see it first"
She clapped her hands together "that's great! I can't wait"
"Maybe I Can even get you backstage passes to my concert" Lucy winked at her
"Wow! Really!?"
"I would love for you to be there Levy. Maybe you can sit with Gajeel and his friends….Though I wouldn't want you to be a sheep in a wolves den so maybe we could invite another girl"
"…sure" she looked at Gajeel who was leaning against the wall
"Alright then, see you tomorrow?" She hugged Levy a last time and then ran over to Gajeel who got off the wall
"Ah! Umm…" Levy tried to speak and they turned around. She caught Gajeels gaze and hesitated then she just smiled "See you tomorrow"
Lucy waved and they went on there way
Levy just watched Gajeels back as he walked away.
Lucy POV
"Wow she was acting a bit weird"
Gajeel just continued walking beside me "She's always been that way towards me"
"Hmm?" I looked at him "Well a lot of people are scared of you. She'll get used to you" I gasped "I still haven't joined a club! I totally forgot"
"What have you been doing these past 2 days?" Gajeel sweat dropped
Well I skipped school and before that I slept….. But I can't tell him that
"I should join your club!"
"Is that really a good idea? I'm in the NL club with Sting, Rogue, Laxus….. That monster….." He sweat dropped "Anyhow, we really don't have any other girls in our club because they are too afraid to join and I wouldn't want you to be around guys all day"
"Guys are easier to deal with then girls. Most of the girls I met start drama, that's why I have a hard time connecting with girls more than boys"I laughed "and I already hang out with those 3 so it should be fine ne?"
"Suit yourself" he laughed and patted my head
"Oh yeah!" Gajeel turned towards me at my sudden outburst
I got on my tippy toes and kissed his cheek "That will make the pain go away. From what happened later"
I saw his face turn pink "hey…. I told you not to do that!"
"Ah it's fine. It's fine as long as it's you Oni-san" I smiled as he grumbled under his breath
"Love you too" I laughed
Normal POV
"Man you guys sure walk slow!" Sting said as they approached him
"Shut up Stingy" Lucy walked past him Which gained a chuckle from Laxus
"What are you doing here, Laxus?" Lucy looked at him confused
"No reason, just wanted to tag along"
Lucy just turned her head to Rogue who was handing he brother his case. Now that she noticed, Sting was also holding his Guitar case too
Lucy smirked "please try to keep up with us Sting, and don't mess up"
Tick marks appeared all over his face "I never mess up when it comes to playing. I'm the best!"
"Well, then you'll be playing the main guitar notes and Gajeel will handle the base"
He smirked "Fine with me!"
"Just please don't kill me with your singing" Laxus said
"please don't ruin my singing with your negativity" Lucy stuck out her tongue
"You better be careful blondie. Do that again and you might end up with another tongue attached to it" Laxus smirked
The bus arrived and let off passengers. Gajeel and Rogue walked to the doors and got in.
"Hm…" Lucy stared at him questionably and looked at Sting who was on the verge of laughter
Gajeel yelled from the bus "hurry up and get on before it leaves!" He sat down inside. The three of them got inside and sat in empty seats. Gajeel and Rogue were sitting beside each other, Sting was a seat ahead but was still talking to Gajeel. Then Laxus and Lucy were 3 seats up since the other seats were full
Lucy looked at him still confused "really though. What did you mean? I don't understand?"
"Should I show you then?" He suddenly lifted up her chin so she could face him and he licked his lips
She froze and started shivering. Her eyes full of fear. Laxus quickly let go and backed up.
"Oi.. Are you okay?" He stopped smiling "I'm sorry. I should get Gajeel right?!" He got up but was pulled back down by Lucy
"Don't get him… I don't want him to worry anymore. Just stay put" she laid he head on his shoulder, hiding her face from everyone. "Sorry about this. Just let me stay like this for a second"
His face heated up "What's wrong do you not feel well?"
"No it's not….. It's not that….. It's my stupid fear. Just make sure you don't do something like that without warning me ne?"
"Yeah, OK" He looked down at her confused but didn't want to dig to deep into it so he just stayed silent.
Lucy POV
We got off the train and we were walking down the busy street full of cars and people. I happily walked alongside my friends.
"It's right there" Gajeel pointed to a nice looking building that was really tall and looked like a hotel but on the front it said 'REHEARSAL STUDIOS" in bright red letters
We walked in an were greeted by a young looking man with brown hair and pale green eyes
"Hey! You looking for a room to rehearse" he smiled at us
"You bet! How much?"
"$15 an hour. You can write your names here, and I'll give you a room on one of the top floors" he winked at me
"Really? Thanks a bunch!" I signed the book and then passed it to Rogue who started to sign it
"Have I seen you before?" The guy asked me staring me up and down
"Maybe you saw me in a magazine"
He gasped "That's right! Your that Celeste girl. You came from America! I saw you on t.v. When I visited my Aunt"
I laughed at his reaction "yeah! I came here recently. I'm going to start making music here now. Of course I might go back to America once in a while to visit"
He took out his phone "Picture?"
I giggled at him and nodded. I put up a piece sign as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder. He took the picture and immediately looked at it
"This is great! I can't wait to show my Aunt, she would be surprised"
I just smiled and laughed. Then Sting had to interrupt our talk
"Are you done?" He growled
What's wrong with him?
"If so hurry up and give us the key" he handed the boy the book as he scurried to take it. Then handed him the key.
Sting just walked off along with the other guys. Gajeel was glaring at the boy making him sweat bullets "top floor. Room 6"
"See you later" I waved and caught up to them
We got into the elevator "I've never really thought about it a lot but you pretty famous huh Lucy" Gajeel said
I nodded "yeah…. And it's only gonna get worse" I sweat dropped "when I was in America I couldn't even go to the store without having the paparazzi being next to me or a crowd forming around me. That's why I didn't go to school"
"Sounds rough" Laxus said from the back
"Yeah. I was usually just walking around the industry building, talking to other celebs. Sometimes I would sneak out with my 3 friends and we would go places together, it was fun. We had to wear disguises." I laughed "I want to have as much fun now before that happens again"
Gajeel laughed "Well I'm still here if you want to go somewhere" he smiled
"By the way. Do you guys have anything to wear? For when we are on stage?"
"we don't even know if we will be picked yet" Rogue said
"We will, because our lyrics our perfect" I smiled at him "trust me"
"Then I guess we have to get clothes then" Gajeel said
"Ugh. I'm gonna be playing dress up with you?" Sting complained
"Shut up!" I rolled my eyes at him
The elevator stopped and we started walking to the room
Normal POV
"Anyways You guys can pick the theme. I'm not really to picky on what I wear" Lucy laughed
"Yeah when she was small she used to dress up into EVERYTHING" Gajeel rolled his eyes
"It was fun!" Lucy argued back
"Sounds like something a Cosplayer would say" Sting joked
"Cosplay queen" Laxus laughed
Lucy angrily yelled "don't contribute to what that narcissist says"
"Nice one!" Sting highfived Laxus
She glared at them then turned to Rogue and Gajeel for help. Gajeel just laughed awkwardly and Rogue just kept his poker face. With no help she just sighed "whatever!"
"I found the door" Rogue said standing next to it
Sting walked up with the knee and unlocked it, then they walked inside. It was a fairly large room with a mini stage and a couple of couches along with a table in case they wanted to take a break
"Wow pretty impressive" Laxus sat down on one of the couches and put his feet up on the table
They all put down there stuff and unpacked their instruments. Rogue took out the music and they began to study over it a few times before they actually began to play.
Timeskip: After They Practiced
Lucy POV
I exhaled loudly "I'm beat"
"You?" Laxus laughed "you barely did anything"
"Shut up!" The Elevator opened we got out
I walked up to the front counter with the key an turned it in. There was a older looking lady at the front desk now. She looked down the list of names.
"3 hours? That will be $45" she stuck her hand out as I took my card out from my bag
"Charge from this" she swiped my card then handed it back to me
"Have a nice day" she smiled kindly at me
"You too" I said as I left
"Do we still have to look for clothes? I want to home" Laxus complained
"You didn't have to come!" I stopped myself from hitting him
"We can try that store" Gajeel was ignoring us and pointed to a pretty good looking store across the street
"Ok then we can hit that first" we walked up to the place where you cross to the other side of the side walk
The light turned green and we walked across quickly. We walked in and walked over to the boys section. They started looking around.
I stood next to Rogue who looked like he was having a bit of trouble.
I giggled "need help?"
He sighed "I'm not really good at this stuff"
"It's ok" I eyed him up and down "let's see….."
I looked through the the clothes and pulled out a pair.
"Try this on?" I smiled
We walked over to the fitting room and he went inside as I patiently waited
"Rogues in there?" Laxus approached behind me and I nodded.
Gajeel and Sting came up behind us with their clothes "Got our stuff"
"Then hurry and try it on" I pushed them in their fitting rooms
Normal POV
All three of them opened the curtain simultaneously and stepped out
"How is it?" Gajeel asked adjusting his collar awkwardly
He was wearing a dark red long sleeve dress shirt that was left unbuttoned a bit. For his pants, they're re black and were a bit loose but still fit on perfectly
Rogue had on the outfit Lucy picked for him which was a dark blue button up color shirt that faded out to be white at the bottom. Then he had on gray pants to match.
Sting on the other hand had on a pale yellow V-neck with with a red flannel tied around his waist. He had on loose kaki pants and he rolled up one side to be just under his knee.
Lucy just stared at them wide eyed, unable to speak, but while she wasn't, all the lady customers were staring and whispering among themselves
Lucy cleared her throat and then smiled "you guys look great! Isn't that right Laxus?"
He ignored her and put on his headphones
Sting walked up to Lucy "have you fallen for me yet Blondie?" He smirked
Everyone got a tick mark on their forehead "AS IF! Stingy!" Lucy stuck her tongue out at him
"Why didn't you pick out something, Lucy?" Rogue asked
"I was just gonna wear something I have at the house" Lucy smirked "That's unless you wanted to see me dress up" she winked at him making him have a tint of pink on his cheeks
"Oh so I can't flirt but you can?" Sting rolled his eyes "your playing favorites"
"Are you jealous?" Lucy laughed "it's more fun teasing Rogue to be honest, but maybe you want me to surprise you some time too?"
"You DON'T have to surprise him anytime" Gajeel angrily said
Lucy laughed even harder. "Whatever if you guys want to see me dress up in something then I will"
Gajeel had a evil glint in his eyes and he smirked "You will wear what we pick out?"
"Yeah sure. As long as it looks nice"
If only she knew the things the boys were thinking… Including her own big brother
