Lucy's P.O.V
Jellal glared, "No. You're the one that's going to start getting upset. Because starting this moment, you're out of the team."
"Hey, Jellal Fernandes, are you nuts!?" Juvia asked angrily. I looked at Jellal, "Jellal, calm down! Calm down and-"
Gray cut me off saying, "You both can stop trying to force it. And Jellal Fernandes, that's exactly what I wanted." He stood up from his chair and went out the door.
"Gray-sama!" Juvia called out, running after Gray, leaving Jellal and I left inside the restaurant.
"I'm sorry. We just wanted to-" I looked down. Jellal cut me off, "No, let's go." He stood up from his chair but I set him back down.
I asked, "Do you know why Juvia and I are so involved in your problem?"
Jellal thought then replied, "Mm.. Juvia obviously likes Gray and you're close to him."
"True, But there's another reason. Y'know that Juvia transferred so she could go to the same school as her favorite idol." I said.
He nodded, "I heard that she was a fan of one of our school's seniors."
"But he suddenly stopped going to school cause his schedule changed, and it was as much of a reason for Juvia to stop going to school." I said and he nodded.
I continued, "Then.. She said she met you all. As long as it was you guys, she thought you guys could be great singers than the guy she liked. Natsu, Gray, Laxus, and you prepared for this event ever since your first year. That guy was also hired into a company through this event... so I wanted to lend a hand."
"You've.. never mentioned any of this before." He said. I replied, "Juvia and I may not have aspirations or specifically anything great yet, but we thought that if we supported you and your passion then we finally might have aspirations for ourselves."
"I really didn't know about all of this, sorry about that." He looked at me, smiling.
I giggled, "I thought you were going to be angry with me for setting this up. My ears didn't lie to me, did they?"
He just smiled then we walked out of the Pizza restaurant.
No one's P.O.V
Juvia called out, "Gray-sama!" Gray stopped walking to his motorcycle and looked at the bluenette.
"This issue doesn't involve just the two of you. You both shouldn't fight just because of the time with Sting. And when you came down here-" She said, looking down.
Gray cut her off saying, "I came here to see Lucy." Juvia looked up with tears in her eyes, "..Okay. Then how can you get out leaving her behind?"
"Even if I left, she knows how I feel. Think of all the times we spent together." Gray replied. Juvia asked, "Is Juvia nothing to you?"
Gray just stared and she continued, "Can't you see how worried Juvia is, and that's why Juvia set this up for you? Do you only care about Lucy?" Juvia then walked off.
Gray then went back to the place where he usually hangs with Gajeel and sat on a speaker, sighing.
Gajeel sat beside him and asked, "Gray, what's wrong?" Gray then asked, "What's up? Did anything happen earlier?"
"Jellal came to see me today, actually." Gajeel replied. Gray frowned, "Jellal?"
Gajeel said, "I don't think he knows how we got to be close buds."
Gray leaned on the wall, "I didn't tell him yet. Let's just prepare a performance ourselves, It doesn't really have to be for the huge event." Gray then noticed Gajeel's smile fade then he poked his arm, "You can't trust me?"
"No, that's not it." Gajeel chuckled. "Don't worry, everything will be fine! Let's practice again." Gray gave a smile.
Gajeel then nodded and they danced together, once they finished, everyone clapped and they did a fist bump.
Back to Jellal, Natsu, and Laxus in the practice room...
"What!?" Natsu and Laxus shouted in unison, slurping their bowl of instant ramen.
Jellal replied, "I was surprised too. I thought I could still handle it, since it already happened once. But hearing it all over again made me just as mad as last time."
Laxus said, "So, if you held back your anger before then we might've never gone looking for Gray again."
Natsu nodded, "Yep, that's true! Gray stopped coming to school after you guys had the fight, didn't he?"
Jellal asked, "But didn't Gajeel say he was going to meet him before?" Natsu answered, "He did."
"Gray was the one who brought Gajeel into the team. Is this happening again just like last time?" Laxus mentioned.
Natsu asked, "How did Gajeel and Gray first get to know each other again?"
"Aside from the fact from them saying "They always knew each other." I don't really remember either of them mentioning anybody else." Laxus said.
"Anyhow, Let's not drag this out and fix things with Popsicle breath tomorrow." Natsu said, leaning on the chair.
Jellal replied, "He was much more cold back then, it's embarrassing." Natsu got up, "Who cares? Just fix things already!"
Laxus chuckled, "Work it out, okay?" Then Laxus and Natsu continue to chug their instant noodles.
Moments later Natsu and Laxus went back to their homes, leaving Jellal behind and Lucy came to the room.
Lucy's P.O.V
As I arrived to Jellal's place, I saw him working on his computer. "What are you doing so persistently?"
"When did you get here?" Jellal looked at me. I replied, "Right now. Where are the others?"
"Natsu and Laxus already headed home." He said.
"How about you?" I asked. He replied, "I'm almost done, just a little bit more." I looked outside, "Looks like it's going to rain."
He asked, "Huh? What are you talking about?" Then suddenly a huge wave of thunder claps then a blackout occurs.
"See? I told you it's gonna rain." I said and he groaned, placing his head on the table.
I raised a brow, "W-what?" He sighed, "I didn't save my files.. It's a sign telling me to go, I'll just redo it tomorrow."
"Um, but, Jellal." I said then he looked at me, "Yeah?"
"Can you please make up with Gray? You don't have a lot of time to prepare for the event." I said.
He chuckled, "Don't worry." I frowned, "Huh?"
"Everything's gonna be fine. It's bound to." He gave me a smile then a huge wave of thunder claps again.
He said, "Well, we should hurry and head back home. Let's go, Lucy." I nodded then went home with him.
The Next Day...
No one's P.O.V
In the classroom Natsu asked Laxus, "Hey, hey, hey. Was there a time I hit on anyone besides Juvia?"
Laxus raised a brow and explained, "You don't even remember hitting on Jenny? She gave you a love potion cookie at the karaoke and you fell for her. I think you even chased after her for about three days after that. But she rejected you cause you're such a shortie~"
Natsu then laughed hard, ripping a piece of paper. "Oh really~? Haha, okay, totally not accepting cookies from her again!"
Gray then went inside a room then went to his desk, grabbing his stuff and packing it into his bag. Laxus said, "Oh, Gray. Dude, what's with you? Where you going?"
"Yeah, let's talk ice freak and when Jellal comes- Oh, he's here! Jellal, don't you have something to tell him?" Natsu said as he saw Jellal walk into the room.
Laxus then looked at Jellal, "Gray was waiting to talk to you, as it is."
Jellal replied, "Say what?" Gray then just stepped out of the room, frowning and ignoring all their words.
"Gray! What the hell!?" Laxus yelled then Natsu yelled, "Hey! Where you going Ice freak!?"
Natsu then walked to Jellal, "Hey, yesterday you promised! How can you send Gray- I mean Ice Freak off like that?"
"Promised what?" Jellal raised a brow. Laxus replied, "I know you're embarrassed to apologize like right away but-"
"I TOLD YOU TO STOP TALKING ABOUT GRAY, DIDN'T I!?" Jellal cut him off, yelling. Natsu then yelled, "JELLAL! IN SHORT YOU-"
Laxus stopped Natsu with his hand, "Natsu, just stop."
Lucy saw Gray walking off to his motorcycle, "Gray! What the..? Where are you going?"
He replied, "I told you. Like yesterday, Gajeel and I are going to prepare a separate performance."
Lucy asked, frowning, "If you take yourself out, what about the other members?"
Gray chuckled, "You still don't know? You're the only one I care about."
"Stop joking, Gray! Like you said, Jellal probably acted that way because he was scared. He's probably afraid that Sting might do better than him! But if you drop out-" Lucy said.
"He'll do fine without me." Gray replied. "How can you say that!? Y'know how much Jellal cares about you! You're overreacting, Let's just go-" Lucy explained.
Gray cut her off, "Let's say I'm overreacting like you said. What would I be saying to him right now? It'd be shameful. Just get inside, You'll be late." Gray then placed his motorcycle helmet on and drove off with his motorcyle.
Lucy just sighed and headed inside the school. During Recess time, Natsu and Laxus walked together without Jellal.
"It's kinda weird." Laxus said. Natsu asked, holding is curry bun. "What is?" Laxus replied, "Jellal."
"What about him? He's probably too chicken to apologize to Popsicle Breath!" Natsu said, chewing on his curry bun.
Laxus asked, "Didn't you see the look on his face? It wasn't the same Jellal we saw yesterday."
"No it's not like that! Since things have come up to this, then we should make them make up. Let's have Jellal chill out first then hurry up to compose the songs!" Natsu replied.
"Why is he yelling at Juvia!?" Juvia said, stomping angrily. Natsu ran to her, Laxus following. "WHO DARES TO YELL AT YOU!?"
Juvia crossed her arms, "Who else? Jellal Fernandes!" Laxus asked, "Why what did he tell you?"
"Juvia asked him if he was gonna finish the song you guys sang before then he got mad at Juvia! Juvia heard he told Lucy yesterday that he was going to fix things with Gray-sama.. What's going on with Jellal Fernandes!? He became someone completely different overnight!" She explained then angrily walked away.
Natsu and Laxus then found where Jellal was, then they ran to him. Natsu said, "Alriight~ Jellal, let's start composing the songs!"
He continued, "The song we used for the big event, and the title song for our first appearance. The ballad one too and-"
Jellal cut him off, "What do you mean title and first appearance? I can't even come up with the song for the event!"
"Say what?" Natsu gave him a confused look. Jellal said, "To top it all off, Gray gave me a freaking headache.."
Jellal then stood up then angrily walked off. "What's with him?" Natsu asked. Laxus replied, "He's just.. Jellal from the past."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Natsu raised a brow. Laxus said, "I knew something was off when he was talking to Gray. "
"So what you're saying is.. The Jellal that we talked to today wasn't the one from yesterday?" Natsu asked.
Laxus added, "Yeah, Future Jellal that traveled to the past with the both of us is gone." Natsu frowned, "Gone!?"
To be continued...
A/N: Chapter 3 is up! Sorry I didn't post it yesterday, I didn't feel well.
