~Band of Bonds

Chapter 14

I froze. Looking at the sight before me reminded me of something that I read earlier….

Flashback~

I was walking to the radio station to inform my fans that I was fine when all I heard was squealing.

"Omigod! I can't believe that Sunny at Midnight is going to hold a dancing and singing completion! I am so going to perform just as a chance to win." An aqua blue hair girl said.

"Don't worry Aoi! You are a great singer and dancer as well! I am sure you will at least make it to the finals and might even win!"
"Are you sure Dia? There are some really good dancers in Magnolia…. That is why it is known for its performers…." The so-called Aoi said.

"You will do fine." Dia said.

Wait a second. Sunny at Midnight? Dancing and singing contest? Why didn't I know about this? Oh wait, it might have to do with my hiding for nearly two weeks….

Flashback end

So this is what they were planning. I should have known that it would be something like this…. Of course knowing my friends there is no telling on what they were planning. I finally unfreeze just as Juvia is about to ask what I'm guessing is if I am okay.

"Guys why did you bring me to Natsu's event?" I asked in a serious voice.

"It's a secret!" Levy said with a goofy grin.

"That's it I'm out."

"Wait Lucy! Just stay for a little while." Erza said grabbing my arm and pulling me back. Did I ever mention how strong of a grip she has?

"Fine…. But only 30 minutes…" I said now feeling a little embarrassed.

"Yes!" They all said as they dragged me to the crowd.

Why did I do this again?

It is finally time for my plan to go into action. I walk up on the stage and cheers greet me.

"What a wonderful performance! I hope you all enjoyed this! Now it is my turn to perform." I said as the lights dimmed and the music started. I looked to my right and left to see the guys performing with me. As I was dancing I decided it was time for the final part of my plan to be put into action.

"I am so sorry but this doesn't right. Is Lucy Heartfilia here?" I saw the audience look from side to side to see if the famous Lucy Heartfilia was in sight.

"Lucy? Are you out there?" Now I was starting to get desperate as my breath started to become uneven like I was about to hyperventilate.

"And what if I am?"

"Then bring yourself up here so we can dance."

"And why should I?"

"So you can show the crowd the new dance moves we came up with." I replied with a smirk causing her to have a look of surprise.

"Fine but only so I can show the crowd how much of a better dancer and singer than you are." She said with a mischievous grin. She started walking up the stage and grabbed a cordless microphone and hooked it around her ear bringing it into place.

"Fine by me."

And the music started.

I walked up on the stage regaining the confidence I once had. The music started and I couldn't help but move to the beat. It was an amazing sensation that I hadn't felt in a long time.

"Come on Lucy I know you can do better than that!" I heard Natsu taunt me.

"You aren't doing that good yourself. What about when I saw your first opening concert and you were trying to impress me?" I countered earning an 'Ooooooh' from the audience.

"Well played Lucy but what about when we had our first dance session? You did better then. Are you trying or are you just rusty?"

We then danced a little more and I tried a little harder. I guessed the crowd could tell because the cheering got louder sand Natsu got a little quieter. Okay I know I'm not fooling anyone because Natsu could never be quiet and we all know that.

The music stopped and next thing I knew I was facing Natsu with our chest and face no more than an inch apart. We were both breathing heavy and I could feel a little twinge in my heart. I looked in his eyes and saw and emotion I had never seen. It was a mixture between guilt and happiness.

But what could he be happy about?

"Lucy I am so sorry." He said in the microphone that hung from his ear to his mouth making it heard all over the huge alley we were in. Just by looking in his eyes I could tell that he sincerely meant it. I wasn't one to hold a grudge other than on my father and he knew that. He also knew how to ensure I would enjoy my first night out of the house. By dancing. Even though I am a lead singer of a band my passion is dancing and he knows this.

"Thank you Natsu. I have decided to forgive you." I said as we stood in that same position.

Then he did one of the most unexpected things that I would have expected. He grabbed my chin and kissed me. I was most definitely shocked at first and I think he noticed but I slowly sunk into the kiss.

The crowd of course reacted with a bunch of 'Awwws' and our kiss soon broke. But you know the best part about kissing Natsu? It is always like our first kiss over and over. He kisses never gets old. His smiles never get old. His personality never gets old. And that is why I love him. He is the love of my life and even though I tried to bottle up those feelings for him I will always love him.

Hey guys! Sorry I didn't update sooner but I left the state for the first time! In thirteen years of my life I had never left North Carolina. So my brother graduated from basic training and we had to go pick him up from Fort Benning in Georgia. It was the longest car ride of my life! Okay but back on topic. The last chapter is arriving :( It will probably be the next chapter. Sorry for such short notice! Forgive me! Over and out~
