Hey guys. I'm back with a fast update. School starts in a few for me, so I'm trying to clear the beginning part of the story as fast as possible. Leave a review if you can, coz that would be really awesome.

Cheers! :D

Ultear

"Jeez it's getting pretty boring in here," I muttered. It was a regular afternoon and I was waiting behind the bar, retweeting tweets from my twitter account on my phone. The diner usually wouldn't get customers at this time. I really wished I could go to McDonalds and get myself a nice vanilla milkshake but I had to stay here. Duh.

That's the problem when your dad owns three restaurants in town. You instantly get a part-time job as a waitress.

I guess it's cool that I get to eat here for free and my friends too, but if I even took a step into another pizza restaurant like, say Dominoes. I bet my parents would never forgive me for life. That majorly sucks.

I glanced at my reflection on the metal sheen of the table. My black hair was pretty messy, and my lipstick smudged. Well there's no one in here, let alone a hot guy. Not gonna give a damn.

Just then the bell dinged and the door opened. Someone walked in. I looked up.

Oh gosh.

A guy walked in. He wore a cotton fitting shirt that had folded long sleeves. You could practically see the outline of his abs. And some trousers and moccasins. He had the prefect face. A ten out of ten. He didn't look like a teenager, but he looked, twenty? That didn't matter.

Okay. Time to go rock.

I grabbed a menu from the counter and walked towards his table. I handed him the menu and smiled. "Welcome To Milkovich's," I said, coyly.

He smiled. "Afraid I don't need that. Just need a coffee. Black. And one of those cheese sandwhiches you guys are famous for," he said in a deep voice.

Oh. My God. That is so damn hot. "Right away," I said, smiling and blinking my lashes, I turned and walked towards the counter.

"One cheese sandwhich set!" I yelled to the kitchen. I then went to the bathroom and fixed my hair and makeup.

Five minutes later I was carrying the coffee and sandwhiches. "Here you go," I said, setting the cup and plate on the table.

He looked at his sandwhich. "Hey, there's an extra here," he said, pointing. "It's on me," I said, winking. He raised and eyebrow, and then laughed. "Righttt. Thanks," he smirked, before digging in.

I walked back to the counter, thinking that I nailed it. I was on the clouds.

"Really? He's gotta be at least thirty," A voice to my left said.

That sounded all too familiar. I whipped around. I was right.

It was her. Erza. What the hell is she doing here? And she was accompanied by her friend. That girl. What was her name? I reeled to think.

That's right. Lucy. Jellal totally trashed her leg that day at the party.

"What makes you come here, Scarlet?" I said, raising my eyebrow.

She laughed. "Just catching up Milkovich. And by the way, didn't you see his hand?"

What was she talking about?

She pointed at Hottie. "His hand. He has an engagement ring, honey," she said, matter of factly.

I looked at his hand, which was currently holding his coffee cup. It was true. The silver band was wrapped around his finger.

I was both disappointed and pissed at the same time. She won, again.

"Sharp as ever," I said sarcastically.

"Course. No hard feelings. But anyway I came here to talk to you about something else," she said, taking a seat at the bar. Lucy followed suit.

"If this is about Jellal, I'll be continuing my job, thanks," I said.

"It isn't. Anyway I am so over him," she said, rolling her eyes.

Lucy raised an eyebrow. I had the feeling not.

"Yeah so what is it?" I asked, wanting to get Erza's face out of sight as soon as possible.

She showed me her cell. It was a webpage. "Read it," she said.

I took the phone and read it. The first two words that caught my attention. "PROJECT SUPERSTAR"

Wasn't that that reality show on TV? The famous one? I scrolled down.

"PARTICPANTS ABOVE 16 AND A MIN. OF 3 IN A GROUP," the slogan said.

I handed her back the phone. "So what has this got to do with me?" I asked.

"We need you. You can play bass," she stated simply.

I stared at her. Then I started to laugh. Was this her idea of a joke? Then I looked at her. Her face was dead serious.

"You can't be actually serious. You're forming a band. What?" I said completely shocked and amazed.

"Yes we are. If we win this we get to go to L.A. Hollywood. We could be famous and making music," she said enthusiastically.

L.A? Hollywood?

I didn't share this with anyone but I had always thought going into music would be totally cool. Even now I didn't have any particular ambition for my future. Finals were after the summer break. I didn't know what to do.

I hated to admit it, but Erza had totally offered me something I'd like. As much as I disliked her, it was a pretty rad idea.

"I mean, a band? But…" I was at a loss for once.

Erza came over and patted my shoulder. "I know you like music, and I'd really like to patch things up with you. No more hate between us," she said smiling.

Wow. She actually said that. But I was warmed. I smiled.

"Well, I guess…okay?" I said.

Erza squealed and hugged me. Lucy grinned. "Thank's Ultear, you're the best!" she cried.

Woah. That was totally unexpected.

She let go. "I'll add you in the Whatsapp group. When we get the rest of the members, we can start practicing!" she said.

"Who are the rest?" I asked.

"Juvia Lockser. And we're finding someone for the keyboard," she said.

Juvia Lockser? Woah that girl is good. She'd be great.

"Hey, I think we should get Wendy Marvel as pianist," I suggested.

"They both stared at me. "Wendy Marvel?" they asked.

"Yeah. That girl who's a little short. Long blue hair. In the ensemble?" I said.

Erza frowned. Lucy eyes widened, on the other hand. "Oh my god, that's her? I heard her playing yesterday. That was some amazing playing," she recalled.

"Yeah, her," I said.

"Why didn't you tell me yesterday?" Erza said, shaking Lucy.

"Sorry sorry! I didn't think! Stop shaking me Erza!" Lucy yelled.

Hottie turned around, obviously annoyed at the commotion they were both making.

Well I didn't care anymore.

'We'll go get em tomorrow. See you tomorrow!" Erza said, waving.

"Bye Ultear," Lucy said cheerfully.

They left, excited as monkeys who had just gotten a whole stack of bananas.

I stared after them, deep in thought.

Damn, what have I gotten myself into?

Erza

Juvia was pretty great about the whole band thing. She agreed almost immediately, saying that she was also planning on entering in the first place. She just needed a band.

"But the band found me," she said, jokingly.

So now Lucy and I just had to find Wendy Marvel.

Wendy

I sat outside the teacher's room. My mum was inside, talking with my subject teachers. They were discussing my 'zero improvement in grades' and 'lack of social interaction'.

Seriously, the last thing I wanted now was my teachers discussing my social life.

Give me a break. I just wanted to play the piano. Nothing else. And for my age, I still looked ten years old. Thus the lack of social interaction.

Hmm, maybe I'll go sneak into the music room to play a little.

I got up and made my way down the hall and down the steps, walking towards the music room. I peered inside. It was empty.

Great. I opened the door and ran joyously towards my beloved piano.

I opened the lid. The sight of the white and black notes enlightened me. I started up on a few scales and arpeggios. Then I played some of my favourite pieces.

I was really enjoying myself. The world blurred out of vision. I was in my world. Nothing could interrupt that.

The door banged opened.

I jumped out of my skin. I stopped playing and turned around. Two girls were bending down, catching their breath. The blonde looked up, heaving. "You have no idea…pant pant…how long…we have been looking for you…pant pant," She said.

Oh my god. That was Lucy Heartfillia. The popular girls squad. Why on earth was she looking for me?

The red head looked up. "Wendy Marvel right? We heard you playing and ran four floors up here," she said, panting.

It was her. The Erza Scarlet. Popular, beauty queen, socialite of the school. Her boyfriend's dad owned a recording company in the US.

And she knew my name. Ran up four floors because she heard my playing. Mum would be proud. My social life was at an all time high. Apparently.

"We need you in our band," she said.

That's it. I am done. My life has been fulfilled.

"B-band?" I said, softly.

"Yeah! We're starting a band, and we heard you're awesome at the piano. You could be great on the keyboard!" Lucy said, all smiles.

"Uh…I suppose…that would be great…" I stuttered.

"Great! Give me your cell number, I'll call your number. Save it," Erza said, whipping out her lavish white iPhone.

"Um…" I rattled the numbers. A few seconds later my mobile rang. "That's my number. I'll add you in the whatsapp group. We really look forward to playing with you Wendy. We're gonna be awesome," she said grinning.

"Uh…if you don't mind…is it just the three of us in the band?" I asked.

"Nah. We've got Ultear Milkovich, and Juvia Lockser," Lucy said.

Woah. I knew for a fact Juvia was good. And she was also incredibly nice. Ultear, not so much, but we were in ensemble together.

"That's…great…" I said.

I heard my mum yelling. "Wendy! It's time to go!"

"Um…I gotta go. See…you," I said awkwardly. I ran out the door.

They waved, pumping their fists in the air.

As I left, I had no idea my life would change forever.

Hope you liked the update. Leave a review please! Thanks :DD
