Lucy's POV
After sending the letter, Juvia and I went to my apartment to get ready for karaoke. After many fatal attempts to get me to wear a dress, the blunette finally gave in and let me wear jeans, but insisted that I wear a black, low cut tank top instead of my usual baggy sweater. She stuck with her usual navy blue dress and belt, but put her hair up in a messy bun and decided against wearing her hat.
I put my hair in a French braid and slipped on my glasses while waiting for Jellal to pick us up. Since the karaoke place was halfway across town, and he didn't trust me not to back out, he insisted on driving us there and back.
I heard honking noises and watched as Juvia opened the door. Jellal was impatiently waving at us from his truck, while Gajeel had claimed the passenger seat. I sighed and grabbed my guitar case. We climbed into the bed of his truck and nodded at him to drive. Before he did, however, he called back.
"We have to pick up the others since they don't know their way around town!"
I groaned but didn't complain, knowing that it would just be a waste of time. Once Jellal set his mind to something, nothing would stop him. Unfortunately, this was one of those times.
Gajeel turned up the radio on the way and all four of us ended up singing along. If you could call it singing. We mostly just shouted the words and made fun of each other for messing up the lyrics. By the time that we pulled into the hotel, Katy Perry decided to join the party.
Juvia and I looked at each other grinning. Jellal and Gajeel jumped out of the truck and stood back to watch the show. None of us noticed the four celebrities that walked out of the building. Juvia and I started singing along to the song.
There's a stranger in my bed
There's a pounding in my head
Glitter all over the room
Pink Flamingoes in the pool
We started dancing around in the back of the truck and laughing.
I smell like a minibar
DJ's passed out in the yard
Barbies on the barbeque
This a hickie or a bruise?
Jellal and Gajeel began to clap along with the beat while Juvia and I continued to sing badly and out of tune.
Pictures of last night
Ended up online
I'm screwed
Oh well
It's a blacked out blur
But I'm pretty sure it ruled
Now the guys were up there with us. Gajeel laughed at Juvia while Jellal spun me around. Both of them shouted "Damn!" with the song as Juvia and I started the chorus.
Last Friday Night
Yeah we danced on tabletops
And we took to many shots
Think we kissed but I forgot
Last Friday Night
Yeah we maxed out credit cards
And got kicked out of the bar
So we hit the boulevard
Last Friday Night
We went streaking in the park
Skinny dipping in the dark
Then had a ménage at trios
Last Friday Night
Yeah I think we broke the law
Always say were gonna sto-op
Whoa-oh-oh
This Friday Night
Do it all again
This Friday Night
Do it all again
Juvia and I were mimicking the actions in the song while Gajeel and Jellal cackled in the background.
Trying to connect the dots
Don't know what to tell my boss
Think the city towed my car
Chandelier is on the floor
Ripped my favorite party dress
Warrants out for my arrest
Think I need a ginger ale
That was such an epic fail
Pictures of last night
Ended up online
I'm screwed
Oh well
It's a blacked out blur
But I'm pretty sure
It ruled
Again, the boys shouted "Damn!" Then they joined Juvia and me in the chorus while dancing like madmen.
Last Friday Night

The guys started shouting. "T.G.I.F!" repeatedly while pumping their fists in the air. Juvia and I giggled before joining them. When that part ended, we all played our invisible instruments and flung our hair around for the instrumental part.

At the end of the song, we heard cheering. I turned to see four figures clapping and whistling.
They were here.
Natsu's POV
I chose not to show the others the letter. But while we were preparing for Erza's friend to pick us up, her words kept rolling through my mind. She was here, in Hargeon. I had proof now. Who cares if she wanted me to call of the search? Lucy had made contact with me for the first time in seven years.
When we got outside to wait, a truck pulled out in front of our hotel. There were two guys sitting in the front seats and two girls in the bed of the truck. They were also playing their music way to loud. But hey, no one was complaining.
When Last Friday Night came on, the guys hopped out and rushed to the back to watch the girls. Both girls started dancing and singing badly. It actually looked like a lot of fun. Upon closer look, Jellal was one of the guys. At some point, Jellal and the other person ended up in the back singing and dancing with the girls.
Levy who was standing on my left, started laughing and swaying to the beat. On my right, Ice Princess was clapping his hands along and Erza was merely grinning.
After the song ended, all of us gave them a round of applause. Jellal looked over and raised his hand in greeting. The man standing next to him had long black hair and a lot of piercings. He nodded at us but said nothing. I turned my gaze over to the two girls. One had long blue hair and blue eyes. When she saw Gray, she straitened and brushed her hair away. But what caught my attention was the girl next to her.
Long, blond hair was pulled back into a tight French braid and big round glasses were place right over her eyes. But I could clearly see that they were a warm chocolate brown. When I caught her gaze, I saw something in them. It seemed like…panic. And a bit of longing. But whatever I saw disappeared and the girl looked away.
Jellal was the first to speak. "Erza, Gray, Levy and Natsu, I would like you to meet my friends. This is Gajeel," he gestured to the piercing guy, "Juvia," that was the blunette, "and last but not least, our birthday girl Ashley."
So her name was Ashley? I studied her further and realized that she looked very familiar. A lot like…
I turned towards Erza, excitement plain on my face. She shook her head. I knew what that meant. We need to be sure before we confront her. It might just be someone who looks a lot like Lucy, not Lucy herself.
I nodded and turned back to the girl. She was listening to something that Jellal said. I tuned myself back in to the conversation.
"I made some reservations for the Karaoke place not far from here. Are you all ready to go?" Jellal asked us. We nodded and he jumped down. Erza stalked passed me and climbed into the passenger seat without another word.
Guess she calls shotgun.
The rest of us settled in the back. I was sandwiched between Stripper and Levy. Metal Freak, Juvia and Ashley all sat across from us. Time to strike up a conversation.
"So…do any of you guys sing?" I tried.
Iron Face looked at me and grinned. "I do."
Juvia and Ashley burst out laughing.
The blunette looked at me. "Gajeel is an awful singer. Ju-I mean I swear that that last time he sang, it started World War lll."
Ashley nodded. "Take cover."
Gajeel glared at them but didn't deny anything, which led me to believe that he knew exactly how bad he was.
I noticed a case by Ashley's feet. "You play guitar?"
She froze and Juvia said. "Duh, she spent four years with you."
Gray, Levy and I all immediately looked at Ashley. The blonde's eyes widened and she turned to look at Juvia.
Juvia, realizing her mistake, opened her mouth to fix it. "U-Um." She stuttered before surprising all of us by bursting into song.
You got your keys
But where you goin?
The third degree
Just isn't workin
'Cause you walked out without
Asking me to go
And if I followed you home
Would you be alone?
I checked your phone
'Cause it was beepin
Are you alone?
I know your creepin
'Cause you walked out without
Asking me to go
But if I followed you home
I hope you're alone
I'm three steps from the edge
Whoa!
Don't push me over it
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
Every girl is capable of murder
If you hurt her
Watch out you don't push me any further
Any further
You're not the only one
Walkin 'round with a loaded gun
This little girl is capable of murder
'Cause you hurt her
My hands are clean
Not yet a killer
Ain't I your queen?
And did you tell her?
'Cause you broke down
All my shoulda known betters
And I followed you home
Throwin sticks and stones
I'm two steps from the edge
Whoa!
Don't push me over it
Don't you know?
Don't you know?
Every girl is capable of murder
If you hurt her
Watch out you don't push me any further
Any further
You're not the only one
Walking 'round with a loaded gun
This little girl is capable of murder
'Cause you hurt her
Murder
Don't you know you should never treat a girl like that?
Got a good alibi
And my bags all packed
Don't you know you should never treat a girl like that?
'Cause the next one's gonna
Have the hammer pulled back
Every girl is capable of murder
So watch out you don't push me any further
But you f*** hurt her
Every girl is capable of murder
If you hurt her
So watch out you don't push me any further
Any further
You're not the only one
Walkin round with a loaded gun
This little girl is capable of murder
Hey
This little girl is capable of murder
'Cause you hurt her
She finished her song and we clapped, completely forgetting about what happened just moments ago.
"Wow, Juvia. You are really talented!" Gray complemented her.
She blushed. "Thank you."
At that moment, the truck stopped. We had arrived.
