Lucy's POV
The lights are hot, and the crowd looks like they want to eat me.
"Hi Michelle! Been a while!" I say, smiling at the innocent looking interviewer.
"Hi Lucy! How have you been?" She asks politely, the chairs were sitting are uncomfortable and hard, it was staring to hurt my ass. And I have 15 minutes of this shit. I smile back at Michelle and say,
"I've been great! Just got off set of my new movie!" I say with fake excitement.
Michelle smiles and winks at the cameras
"We're all so excited for it!" Michelle turns back to me and says,
"Lucy, do yo have any news for us at all?" She asks, I know what's coming next,
"Like a boyfriend?" She asks, gathering a gasp from the crowd. I roll my eyes and say,
"No Michelle, I am way too busy for someone right now, and plus I have bigger things to do." I say, not liking where this was going.
"Alright, alright, so how's the charity work going?" She asks
"Good! We are actually having a gala in a couple of months! Anyone who donates is welcome, " finally getting into something I was interested in made me happier, this dress was way too hot and I had too much hair spray in my hair.
"This charity means a lot to me, Homes for loved ones is very special to me." Without going farther, I knew I had already let the cat out of the bag.
"What does this charity mean to you Lucy?" Michelle asks, shit, you fucked up
Without explaining all of my dark past in front of millions of people, I slowly start to cover.
"Well, my charity works with homeless and abused children who need a place to stay, we provide housing and support to anyone who needs it." I sigh in satisfaction with my answer.
"Lovely, sadly that's all the time we have for you Miss Hartfilia, thank you so much for coming, see you all next time!" Michelle says, turning to the camera
The cameras click off and the set manager yells, "that's a wrap!" I sigh as the lights shut off and the audience starts to file out of the room. Michelle turns to me and says,
"So good to see you Lucy! See you next time!"
We stand and I hug her, I smile and wave to her as I walk off set.
I open the dressing room to find the girls waiting for me.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCY!" They all yell in unison.
I smile at them and look around the room, shitty streamers were hung off the mirror and on chairs, there were ballons haphazardly thrown on the floor, and in the middle of the room was a plastic card table with a pink cake in it. Erza was wearing one of those pointy party hats, while the others had kazoos, Juvia had a ballon taped to her hair, and Levys glasses were coverd in streamers.
"Guys! You didn't have to do anything for me!" I say, embarrassed by their actions, Mira stands and says,
"Ha, Lucy were gonna have a birthday party for you, then we're going to a club to party!"
I laugh at them and say,
"Alright! I can't believe I'm 21!" I smile and laugh.
Suddenly they strip off my clothes and put me into a small black dress, going just past my mid thigh. Levy does my makeup, making it smoky and gorgeously dark, Juvia puts my hair up into a updo, that makes it look like a rose, and Mira cuts the cake. We all eat and get each other ready in the dressing room.
You know Lu-chan, you don't have to do this, I can get ready all by myself." Levy complains as I pull a new dress over top of her,
"Non sense Levy! I'm going to make all the boys want you!" I reply, hoping Levy finds someone again after that annoying little jerk Rogue broke her heart.
"I dunno guys, maybe I'll just stay in and read." She sighed.
"No Levy, we are all going!" Juvia says, jumping up out of her seat on the couch, her blue curls bobbing. Juvia had recently gotten out of a shitty romance with some asshole named Lyon.
"Yeah! It's Lucy's birthday!" Erza says, walking over to Levy with a light green dress.
Levy sighs and says, "alright guys."
Everyone smiles at the fact that Levy has finally been defeated.
After about an hour of eating strawberry cake and getting each other ready, I looked back towards my comrades. Erza had her scarlet hair down, the straight lines of perfection flowing down her back, her dress was silver, like armour, it was backless and went just bellow her knees, the neck line gave a generous amount of bosom, her make up matched her dress, the delicate curves only made by Levys delicate fingers, and high heel boots that made her almost 6'0, compared to her normal 5'6 height. Mira had a light pink strapless dress that hugged her curves, Her hair up in a classy ponytail, her makeup was minimal but resembles a light day in the city, pink lipstick and shimmery eyeshadow. Her kitten heels white and sparkly. Juvia was wearing a dark blue silk dress that emphased her large breasts, it shimmerd so, it made the dress look like running water when she walks, her long curly hair down and waving down around her like a waterfall. Levy was wearing a short, very short light green dress. Her blue hair hung wildly all around her face, her makeup was lovely, blue cat eyes and nude lip gloss, the heels she was wearing made her 5'3 body look 5'7, it emphasized her lovely legs and butt. I look down at my own body. The short black dress flowed out at the waist, and ended at my mid thigh the sleeves were lace, so was the back, I could feel the cold of the room keeping a grip on my back, my makeup was dark and mysterious. My lips were blood red.
"All ready to go?" Mira asks the group
"Yup!" We all say
We all gather into a cab outside the studio. It's almost 12:00 am, and the streets are still bustling.
"Grand magic tournament bar please." Mira asks the driver,
handing him a wad of cash. We all stumble into the cab. During the ride I pull out my phone and check my Instagram. I have two accounts, my private and public, my management handles my public, my real Instagram is something like, celestial_mage21 or something like that. Only my close friends know i have it, Juvia, Erza, Levy, Mira, Michelle. Some others. So as you can imagine, only having 20 followers I was suprised to find someone had requested to follow me. The user was something like, FiRe_DraGon1199 I declined, and just as I locked my phone, Erza yelled,
"selfie!" All the girls look into her camera and smile wildly. We all choose the best one and Erza posts it.
"Grand magic ladies," the cab driver says, stopping in front of a hotel. I look over to Mira and say,
"this isn't a bar," she just smiles and leads us out of the cab, the hotel looks nice, a four star is say, we enter the building, the bell hop opening the door and smiling at a bunch of well dressed women. The hotel is all marble and modern white furniture. The front desk is empty and no one else is in the lobby. The other girls look as confused as I am,
"Mira, what-" Erza asks, but Mira silences her with a finger over her lips. We follow her into an elevator and as she presses a button on the wall, she says,
"welcome ladies, to the best and most amazing club in LA." We all look at each other in wonder. The bell dings and the doors slide open. But instead of finding a plain old hotel hallway, there was a hall with only on door, a carpet and a waiting line forming down the hallway. A huge bouncer at the door which said, 'the grand magic tournament' on it in neon letters. We walk up to the door and Mira whispers into the bouncers ear, he nods and opens the door. I'm suddenly hit with such a loud pulse of music I jump up, Juvia laughs and follows Mira into the bar. The club is huge, the bar taking up one side of the room. There was a dance floor with people on it, the bodies pulsating to the beat of the music, there was a upstairs, looking over onto the dance floor, with tables and chairs, the entire thing was dark red and black, I loved it immediately. "Wow!" Levys says,
"Mira, how'd you get us in here?"
I ask over the loud music.
"I know some people" she says, blushing.
We all laugh, knowing she was probably banging someone, and head over to the bar. We order drinks, and a round of shots.
"Are you guys trying to get me drunk?" I ask after swallowing the God awful shot.
Levy smiles and says,
"Time to have some fun Lu-Chan!"
We head over to the dance floor and start dancing to the beat. The DJ was good, he had gold hair and blue eyes, with a scar over one eye, I loose track of Mira only to see her walk up to the DJ and plant a kiss on his cheek. I motion for the others to look, Erza screams and starts babbling about 'beautiful babies' and goes to sit with Juvia, who is trying to calm her down, Levy and I are still dancing, but with smiles on our faces knowing one person in our group of us has had some luck in the romance department.
After dancing for about 15 minutes, Levy and I get tired and head up the stairs to sit down with the other girls.
"Heeeeeey guys!" Juvia blurts out, she can't handle her alchohol well.
"Hi Juvia, is this your drink?" I ask, gesturing to a blue looking martini next to her. She nods and grabs Levy and says,
"You knoooooww, I rellyyyyyyy loooove yyouuu guyyyys!" She yells. Levy falls into her lap, letting out a small yip. I swiftly grab Juvia glass, getting a reply of anger from the bluenette.
I swiftly dump the drink over the bannister. Gathering a yell from someone bellow me.
"HEY," they yell, the voice is definitely male, but I'm too tipsy to care.
"Sorry!" I yell back down into the club.
I collapse onto a chair.
"Lucy, you ok?" Levy asks, I'm not, but I don't want to say anything, but my drunk mouth is just blurting out shit.
"Levy, I haven't banged someone in like, three years!" I complain, last time was just a shitty hookup with some guy in set.
She laughs and says,
"You're Lucy Hartfilia, you'll find someone." Levy says, smiling and sipping a beer. I sigh and put my head onto Juvias lap, next thing I know, I'm passed out.
