No one's P.O.V
"We've definitely.. gone back to two years ago." Jellal said, The two then gaped at him.
Gajeel and the other dancers finally finished their dance as everyone clapped at their performance.
"Good song." One of the dancers high-fived with Gajeel. Once the dancers started to walk home, The three walked to Gajeel.
Jellal looked at him and said, "Gajeel." Gajeel saw the three, "Yeah?"
The three gave him a confused look, especially Natsu. "You have no idea who we are?"
Gajeel chuckled, "Of course I know you three. You guys are famous, I heard so much about you from Gray."
"All the freshmen want to join your team." As Gajeel mentioned that, Jellal gave a small smile at Natsu & Laxus. "Yeah."
Natsu then announced, pointing at Gajeel, "Okay, starting today, you join our team. Go to practice."
"You never said any of that two years back." Laxus mentioned.
Natsu frowned, wanting to hit him. "Yeah, yeah I know. I just wanted to imitate Jellal!" Laxus then slapped his stomach.
"Thanks guys, but I can't give you an immediate answer. I have to go meet Gray, See ya." Gajeel then ran off.
"Bye." Natsu said as he and Laxus waved, their smiles turning into frowns.
The three then went to a bench to talk about what's going on. Natsu asked, "What the hell's going on here?"
Laxus replied, "I'll say." Natsu then thought and said, "Do you think it's a secret camera prank?"
"Secret camera?" Laxus gave his pink-haired friend a confused look.
Natsu said, "Maybe the rest of the members and Gramps teamed up to trick us."
"To call it a secret camera prank is too realistic." Jellal mentioned. Laxus then asked, "Wait a sec, We're not even trainees yet?"
"Does that mean we have to go through the backbreaking auditions all over again?" Natsu added.
Natsu then saw Juvia, "Hey Juvia!" but she pushed him off, angrily stomping to Jellal. "Jellal Fernandes! How could you!?"
"Weren't you too mean to Gray-sama yesterday?" Juvia asked. Jellal raised a brow, "What do you mean by that?"
Juvia pouted, "Gray-sama did that because of you jerks." Natsu looked at her, "The hell did he do to Pervy Popsicle?"
"Three of you are going to play dumb like this!?" Juvia then frowned. Jellal mentioned, "Where's Lucy?"
Juvia answered, "Lucy? She went to her job at the bar." Jellal nodded.
"Why are you changing the subject!? You're really not going to apologize!?" Juvia yelled.
Jellal stared at the ground as she yelled, "Juvia knows Gray-sama has a bad temper, but he didn't do it on purpose!"
Laxus whispered to Natsu, "Lucy and Juvia didn't travel back with us?" Natsu just shrugged then the three walked off.
As the three were walking, Natsu asked. "What's going to happen to us?"
Jellal answered, "We'll still have to think about it. I even have no idea what's happening."
Natsu then added, "Think about what? We're basically screwed."
"Hey. You little!" Laxus pulled Natsu's ear, dragging him to the side.
While in pain, Natsu asked. "Do you remember what happens? Anything that comes to your heads?"
Laxus then thought and said, "Wait. It's right about now when he shows up."
"Laxus-nii!" A black-haired teenage boy came with a short dark blue-haired girl beside him.
Laxus then held his shoulder, "Romeo!" Natsu asked, "What the hell took you this long!?"
Romeo gave a confused look, "But who are you?" Laxus, Jellal and Natsu's eyes widened.
Jellal then thought of a solution and looked at Laxus, "That's right. You're the boy you said you're close to."
"Ah! Romeo, say hi to Jellal and Natsu!" Laxus pointed to both of his friends.
Romeo added, "I already met Jellal-nii." Laxus scratched the back of his neck, "Uh, did you? Yeah, you did!"
Laxus then asked, "But where are you and Wendy going?" Romeo's eyes widened, "You guys know Wendy?"
"Wendy, do you know Laxus-nii?" Romeo asked the bluenette. "No, it's my first time seeing them." She answered.
Laxus added, "I've met her before, she's your girlfriend."
"Huh? We just started dating today. H-how do you know?" Romeo asked, confused. The three then looked at each other.
Natsu then gave a toothy grin, wrapping an arm around Laxus. "Laxus' quick on the uptake."
Romeo nodded, weirded out for a bit then he asked, "But when can I join your team?"
"Yeah, when was that?" Laxus asked, chuckling. "Hurry and let me join!" Romeo begged.
Jellal nodded with a smile, "Okay then." Romeo then mentioned, "You're coming to see my concert tomorrow, right?"
"Concert? Of course! I'll bring everyone with me." Laxus chuckled, patting Natsu's head.
Romeo smiled, "Okay, I have practice so I'm gonna go." He then walked off with Wendy.
Jellal sighed, "That's right. This was our first meeting with Romeo."
"Then we're the only ones who traveled back to the past?" Natsu asked. Laxus answered, "I guess so."
The three left the school to eat in a small cafe and ate a little bit of pie and milkshakes.
Jellal mentioned, "If we really came back to the past, and if this is before the event.. Shouldn't we be practicing by now?"
"What do you mean? We'll go on stage and they'll scout us because of our performance. We should just have fun right now~" Natsu answered.
Laxus added, "No! Have you seen what happens in the movies?" Natsu answered while stirring his milkshake with the straw, "Nope."
"Our future changes depending on what we do now." Laxus explains.
Natsu asked, "Changes? We kinda already know what happens so how can things change?"
"That's because everything had a cumulative effect, you idiot." Jellal said, staring at Natsu.
"Does that mean we have to go through the tiring trainee years all over again?" Natsu asked.
"Wouldn't it be easier now if we've already been through it once?" Laxus added.
"Maybe we can find a way back before that." Jellal said.
Natsu grinned, "If we can't avoid it... Let's at least enjoy ourselves~ Aren't I easily convinced?" Laxus and Jellal then went outside the cafe while Natsu stayed inside for a bit.
Laxus asked Jellal. "Do you remember winning any numbers?" Jellal answered, "We're technically minors anyway, so.."
Natsu came out of the cafe and Jellal said, "I knew he wouldn't be able to buy it."
"I forgot I'm still wearing a school uniform." Natsu grinned.
Laxus mentioned, "It's not like you remember the winning numbers anyway."
They sit down once again on a table outside the cafe. "It's too early to be disappointed. How about betting in sports?"
Jellal sighed, "I'm amazed by how your mind works.." Laxus then asked, "Do you remember any game scores?"
"No, nothing~" Natsu chuckled then said, "I should've studied stocks the past three years."
"Quit complaining." Jellal said. Natsu said, "I can't believe we can't take advantage of this situation."
Then Natsu saw a couple of people walking, "Oh! Aren't they..?" Jellal then said, "I saw them before."
"Aren't they friends with that girl you once went with on a blind date?" Laxus asked. Natsu nodded, "Right! Right, that's them!"
"I think we went on a three on three outing once. You guys think that was today?" Laxus thought then asked.
"Should I go talk to them?" Natsu asked then Laxus nodded.
When Natsu was about to go to the girls he saw Juvia, "Hey Juvia!" and as always she pushes him off.
"Why aren't you guys at practice? Come on!" Juvia asked. Laxus added, "Why did Juvia show up here? Maybe it wasn't today."
"Wasn't it around this time when he started to like Juvia?" Jellal asked, drinking his milkshake. Laxus answered, "I believe so."
Then Natsu, Laxus, Jellal and Juvia went to the practice room. Natsu said, "Wow it's weird that everything's the same."
Laxus nodded, "That's what I meant, It all feels like it was yesterday."
Juvia frowned, "What are you guys doing? Is this an act? Juvia thinks the three of you set this up! Hey, you think Juvia will let you guys get away with this!?"
Jellal then sat down on the chair near the piano in the room. Juvia started yelling, "Jellal Fernandes, how long are you going to say that you're thinking it over!?"
She continued to yell, "It's been two months and you still haven't done anything! And you Natsu, you always goof around and keep blaming Jellal on not composing anything yet!"
Jellal started to play the piano, playing a sweet melody of a song he composed in the future called, "Innocent Love".
Juvia then stopped yelling and just stared at the three boys, confused. Jellal then gave a sign for Natsu to sing.
Natsu then sang, "The tears won't stop, You were my first love. The reason why we broke up is because you were my first love.."
"The unforgettable places and promises we've made, I can't see you there anymore.." Jellal sang while playing the piano.
The three imagined Gray singing the next line, "I know, I know, I know~"
They remembered Romeo's sweet voice, "Even though it was puppy love, I know that even though I'm young, the pain is the same. I'm saying that breakups are unfamiliar."
Natsu sang, "You were my first love. I was clumsy with you. The love I'm grateful for.. Ooh~" Laxus started his rap part,
"It hurts more than I can imagine. Looking at our pictures, I hope for your happiness. "I loved you from the start.", "I treasured you a lot." I'm always sorry that I didn't say those words earlier. They're shameless words but, I want my image to still remain as fresh as a first love in your thoughts. I want to do this just to not make our regrets go further. The tears keep falling down, down, down, down, but I'm fine. I'll hold them back, back, back, back, don't forget me."
Laxus finished his rap and Juvia looks at them and Jellal finishes playing the piano as well and Natsu gives a toothy grin.
Juvia asked with a surprised expression, "When did you guys do all this?"
She then hugged Natsu and he blushes, "What's with you guys? When did you compose this?"
Juvia then heard her phone ringing then she answers, "H-hello?" Natsu then goes to the two saying happily, "Did you guys see? You saw, right?"
"Lucy, where are you now?" Juvia says on the phone. "Juvia just hugged me!" Natsu says.
Laxus added, "But that never happened in the past." Jellal then mentioned, "I didn't compose Innocent Love this early back then."
"Wait, does that mean we can pass all those auditions?" Natsu asked with a grin. Jellal replied, "One thing for sure is that we wouldn't waste all that time worrying."
Natsu and Laxus then did a high-five feeling excitement. Juvia then asked, "Jellal, Can Juvia see you for a second?" Then Jellal and Juvia walked outside the practice room.
"Where are we going?" Jellal asked. Juvia said, "Just be quiet and follow Juvia. Ah, why aren't you picking up your phone?"
Jellal replied, scratching the back of his neck, "Oh, my phone? I didn't know my phone rang."
Juvia asked, "Both Natsu and Laxus too? All of you, seriously. Juvia's letting you guys off for today."
She walks away, Jellal followed her and asked, "Where are we even going?"
As for Natsu and Laxus they stayed in the practice room, sitting on the couch.
Natsu asked, "We probably don't have to go through the difficult trainee stuff again, right?"
Laxus shrugged then chuckled, "Probably." Then they both did a brofist.
Natsu suddenly said, "Hold on. That's not the issue. We can always be number one on the music charts!"
Laxus gave his friend a confused look. Natsu suggested, "We can take all of those hit songs and release them ourselves!"
"Wait, I don't think it's that easy. If we mess with the past then our future will also be messed with." Laxus explained.
Natsu gave an evil chuckle, "So? What if it does?" Laxus frowned, "It could be scary for us to take other people's music."
"Haha~ What kind of funny nonesense is that?" Natsu laughed loudly.
"Have you ever heard of the "Butterfly Effect"?" Laxus asked. Natsu answered, "Nope, never heard of it."
Laxus explained, "It's a theory that a single occurrence, no matter how tiny, can change the course of the universe forever."
"It probably ain't real." Natsu shook his head. Laxus said, "Still. It's bad to take what's not ours, y'know."
Natsu pouted, "I guess so. But using our own song is fine right? We're just pushing it out earlier than usual."
"I don't think it'd matter too much.." Laxus said.
"Right? But where the hell did Jellal go? We have to compose the rest of our songs." Natsu asked, mentioning Jellal & Juvia.
Lucy's P.O.V
I usually went to work after school since it was the time I already started working, so I decided to go to the bar.
"Hi, I'm here!" I greeted, opening the door, finding my boss on the chair again watching basketball, looking all messy.
"Ah, Lucy. You're here early. Come watch the game with me!" He said, eating a Popsicle.
He shouted, "Shoot shoot shoot! Shoot shoot shoooooot!" Then he ended up frowning, "How can you miss that!? Oh man!"
"Sir. Right before the game finishes, the opposing team shoots the last ball and your favorite team loses." I said, walking away.
I sat on the bar chair as I look at my phone, writing on my phone diary about the events that happened.
Then my phone suddenly rang. "Hello?" I answered. Juvia said on the phone, "Lucy could you please pick up Gray-sama? Juvia will make Jellal apologize to him."
I smiled, "Where will I take him?" She answered, "Just in the Pizza restaurant."
"Alright. Bye." I hung up and went to pick up Gray, Juvia usually doesn't want me to be near him but this is rare.
I dressed up and went out of the bar to go to Gray's house. I rang the doorbell and he opened, "Oh, hey Lucy."
"Gray could you come to the Pizza restaurant with me?" I asked and he replied, "Uh, sure."
So we walked to the Pizza restaurant together as I opened the door, Gray saw Juvia and Jellal on a table, he didn't look so happy.
"U-uh, Gray, let's sit there!" I pointed to the table where Juvia & Jellal were sitting. He just nodded and we sat on the chairs.
Moments of awkward silence later, Juvia said, "Hey! How long are you guys going to keep this up for? Let's have some pizza first."
She giggled, looking at Gray, "If you have something delicious, It'll make you feel better."
Gray ignored her and asked Jellal with a glare, "Why did you want to see me? What do you have to say?"
Jellal just stared so Juvia said looking at Jellal, "Ah you told Juvia you were too harsh on him! And you wanted to apologize, right?"
"Is that so? That's great, Gray." I said. Gray asked Juvia, "Does he look like he wants to apologize? Does he want advice?"
Gray glared at Jellal once again, "Your inferiority complex is why you feel so sensitive about him."
"Gray!" I frowned. Jellal said angrily, "What did you just say?"
Gray continued, "You never cared about other people, but you always lose your cool when it comes to him. You think he's way better at composing songs than you are, You think he's more talented than you are-" Jellal cut Gray off, "Stop it and shut up."
Gray smirked then chuckled, "Look, you're about to lose it again. Why? Are you upset because I hit a sore spot?"
Jellal glared, "No. You're the one that's going to start getting upset. Because starting this moment, you're out of the team."
To be continued...
