"No." he hissed.
"Yes" her voice, sang with excitement.
"No." he repeated, glaring at the marble floor of his office floor.
"Yessss" she replied humorously with a giggle.
"Damn it Mira. I said NO." he barked at the receiver of his cell phone. Lucy laughed watching him amused as she sat there in her lounge chair.
Right after her confession (and embarrassing fit of crying) Gray calmed her down and said that they should tell the others. Sadly he hadn't had a clue of what to do with Lucy's situation so he suggested maybe asking help from the others so they might figure out a plan.
She agreed and was glad that Gray didn't think of her weird or made her feel any worse, he even made her laugh as he stated that he doesn't know what plan they might come up with but as long as he can kick Dan's ass he will do anything, which caused the girl to laugh and smile, happy with his concern.
And so right after that he received a call from Mira, clueless on what she was calling for he was glad she called because she could make a plan and tell the others. But before Gray could tell Mira what was happening the white haired beauty said she called because she found members for Gray's band. So he has to play at the Cultural Festival. And they were members he seriously did not want to work with.
"Awww come one Gray~" you could hear her pout on the other line "You weren't specific on the members you wanted. You said and I quote 'if you find me a band I'll perform in your concert' period. So that's what I did"
He silently cursed in his mind making an aggravated face, he didn't think Mira would be this quick "But why did it have to be THEM"
Mira laughed with an amusing tone, expecting him to say that "Because they were the only ones available and the only ones willing to do it"
He groaned, leave it to Mira to scare the wits out of them to do this "Okay Fine!"
"That's the spirit Gray!"
He gritted his teeth while he soothed the temples on his forehead "So tell me when are auditions. The festival is in a week right?"
"Un. It's this Sunday at noon. Don't be late~"
He nodded "Kay sounds good." He hung up and let out an exasperated sigh "Shit"
"What's the matter?" Lucy asked eyeing him curiously.
"Mira found me a band"
Lucy laughed "And? What's wrong with them?"
"They're the worst people I could be paired up with," he said glumly, after waiting a bit he replied "Loke, the Flame head, my dumb brother, and the flame head's cousin"
"EHHH? Natsu's cousin? You don't mean Gajeel Redfox do you?" Lucy exclaimed astonished.
Back then there was a huge fight between FTA and another high school "Grimoire Heart" some of the students from GH were getting out of hand and held Lucy and Mira captive. This pissed Natsu off incredibly and gathered up the gang to save them, but it got too out of hand so he called back up. That's where Gajeel came to help out, and surprisingly he is from GH! He was labeled the number one Yankee at his school so the hoodlums that were causing trouble didn't stick around too long when he showed. The gang hanged out with him last summer and tried to convince him to come here, he said he would think about it.
"Yeah you know him? Hmmm so you probably know that he will be transferring into our school in a few days"
"I haven't heard! But wow! He will perform with you then?"
"Apparently" Gray tsked "Not that I mind him or Loke but I didn't think Ash-brain and that Icicle of a brother would also be a part of it"
Lucy nodded "I didn't know they even played instruments! I thought Lyon only learned how to fight and that it was you who learned how to play music"
"Well yeah you're right" Gray replied "But it's not like we had to stick to that one subject. I learned my basics of fighting from Lyon while we were in America. I taught him how to play guitar in the months we stayed in the U.K."
"I see" Lucy giggled "Wow I actually can't wait to see how you guys will do"
Gray quirked an eyebrow "Well now I have to fix up my whole schedule this week so we can rehearse for Sunday. I still don't know what to do with the wretched song list though"
"Well at least you guys can sing what song you like for the audition" she spoke up trying to cheer him up.
He ran his fingers through his black hair "Yeah that's true. But we would have to probably rehearse after work hours seeing how I won't be at school this week"
Lucy frowned feeling sad, forgetting that Gray would have to leave and probably wouldn't see him till next Monday.
"Hey why don't you and the girls stop by as well while we rehearse? It's good to know somebody's input on it" Gray spoke up interrupting her thoughts. Lucy smiled "Yeah sure" she said trying not to sound too desperate "What time?"
"Can you manage to stay out a bit more today? We'll start at 5:00 and end at 6:30."
"Okay" she nodded.
Gray took out his cell phone and started punching numbers, after a few moments he closed it "Okay I sent them a group message. Just have to wait for their replies."
Beep!
Beep!
Beep!
Beep!
Beep!
Beep!
Beep!
"I'll be there!" They all replied.
Both Lucy and him grinned. "Well that settles—"
Beep!
"Don't tell me what to do Droopy eyes!"
.
.
.
Beep
"Fine, I'll go too"
Lucy merely laughed, as she took a peek at Grays phone to see the message, obviously sent from Natsu "I wonder what changed his mind?"
Gray shrugged "Probably remembering that Mira threatened him"
"Hnnn" she replied softly, she grabbed her things and stood up "So shall we go?" she suggested.
Gray nodded "Yeah just let me tell—"
"GRAY!" a voice shouted gaining the two attentions, they both turned their heads to see a young woman walking towards them. Her black high heels clicked on the marble floor, she wore a black dress with a pencil skirt type end, which hugged her curves nicely.
Her platinum blonde hair was elegantly curled into waves falling flawlessly framing her face. Her green eyes sparkling and her pink lips formed into a curve. Lucy watched in awe as the young woman rushed her way towards Gray probably thinking that he was leaving 'Wow she's so pretty' she thought, the woman probably wasn't older than twenty-two and here she is working for the Fullbusters.
"Ah Stephanie" Gray mumbled, kind of irked to see Miss Banks has caught him before he could make his escape "I was just going to call to say that I'm leaving" he forced a smile trying to not make it awkward and for Lucy to not notice he actually hated this woman's guts.
Lucy on the other hand was feeling strange in her stomach as soon as he spoke the woman's name. 'Are they on close terms to call each other like that?' she felt more self-aware with her and Gray's relationship and started to feel less confident about herself. Not noticing the tense air that formed as soon as Stephanie arrived.
Stephanie smiled, but you could tell from the twitching muscles that she was not happy "Oh, Is that so Gray? Will you be on time for the meeting with the Moore's from America at 8:00?" she asked sweetly with subtle of venom coming out of them.
"Don't worry I'll be there" Gray retorted almost barking that remark at her but kept his cool since Lucy was right next to him.
Stephanie smiled "That's great, it was such a hassle to rearrange the schedule since you went back to school all of a sudden" she gave him a sheepish smile "Almost impossible but I worked my magic."
Gray again forced a grin "Ah Thank you so much. You are the best" he replied.
She giggled "Do I get a reward for that?" she stepped closer, not noticing Lucy's uncomfortable aura and fidgeting and ignored Gray's look that said 'Piss off'. She tugged his black tie and straightened it out for him since he messily tied it up again before he got into the office "Mr. Fullbuster?" she whispered seductively. Gray tried his hardest not to groan and to smack this she witch away from him.
He coughed and started to clear his throat before he stepped back from the odd sexual tension air that Stephanie created 'She's doing this to piss me off again. She knows I hate that'
But Lucy didn't know that, her stomach was doing black flips as her mouth felt dry after witnessing the manager was casually flirting with Gray. And right in front of her too!
'H-how shameful!' she thought angrily surely not noticing she was making a face 'Wait! Why do I care?' she wanted to leave the room ASAP.
"We'll see I'll let you know. Sorry but I'm in a hurry as I have already made an early appointment" he replied coolly earning a quick glare from her "And I have to go, as you can see my acquaintance and I can't afford to be late"
Stephanie nodded stepping back, she smiled and turned towards Lucy, looking bemused to notice the girl's face was all scrunched up 'Fufufufu she has a slight crush on Gray ne~'
"Ah so you're the girl that Fullbuster brought here! Wow he usually prefers to come alone to work so this is a first" Stephanie smiled bringing her hand up for Lucy to shake "The names Stephanie Banks nice to meet you"
Lucy looked at the hand hesitantly before bringing her small fingers to grab on to the other woman's hand "N-nice to meet you too. I'm Lucy Heartfilia, I hope I didn't cause too much trouble"
Stephanie's eyes popped after the girl said her name was Heartfilia "Eh? Heartfilia? You're Lucy Heartfilia?! The daughter of sole successful Jude?! You're that Heartfilia!?"
Lucy cringed but managed to give a small smile "Y-yeah the very one."
Stephanie then whipped her head towards Gray who looked quite entertained from her reaction "Did you know?"
He laughed charmingly "But of course! Why do you think there was such a ruckus after the meeting ended?"
The woman looked perplexed but nodded now understanding, she sent him a gaze stating 'You're off the hook only because you brought something good' Gray only looked away and tsked. 'She might be good for something later on' Stephanie started to think.
"Well it was nice meeting you Lucy-san! You're welcomed here any time," the woman chirped causing Lucy to be slightly at ease "Ahh t-thank you Miss Banks," she said quietly. The woman bid her goodbye as she left them there, both were relieved but for different reasons.
Gray sighed feeling after a moments time before facing Lucy. "All right well let's go!"
xxxoxxx
"I still don't get why you had to DRAG her to your work place" said a now aggravated Natsu as he put down his drumsticks.
"GeHee! I see pinky here is a little jealous!" said a rough voice from behind. Natsu turned around swiftly before trying to bang his fists at his cousin's face "Oh Shut up you pierced freak"
Gajeel huffed his chest in triumph as he set down his white and black guitar and crossed his arms "Aww don't get mad cus, I was just joking"
"Guys, calm down, there's a bigger problem here, what are we going to do about Lu-Chan?" said Levy giving her best friend a worried glance that just shifted in her seat.
"Hmp, that none concerns me shrimp" Gajeel replied but you could tell from his facial features that he was also concerned.
Everyone; Wendy, Cana, Levy, Natsu, Gray, Lyon, Lisanna, Loke, and Gajeel then turned their attention towards Lucy who was looking glumly at the floor.
"I-I honestly don't know. And father said he wasn't changing his mind either" she bit her lip. Trying not to cry she rubbed her eyes with her hands quickly trying to catch her tears. After the band rehearsed a bit Gray explained to the gang what was happening, they were shocked and angered but mostly sad that Lucy had kept this to herself for a month and has no way of getting out.
"Well we're not letting this pass with out a fight" Natsu spoke up crackling his knuckles "No way I'm letting Lucy get married to that creep! Who's with me?"
Lisanna and Wendy nodded as they furrowed their eyebrows "I am"
Levy and Lyon also nodded looking sharp "Me too"
Loke, Gray, and Gajeel also spoke "Us too."
Lucy gave them a sad smile as tears slowly ran down her flushed cheeks "Mina… Arigatou...this means so much"
"So what are you planning to do?" Gray finally spoke gaining a few murmurs from the gang.
"Well whatever it is we can't let my dear princess get married!" Loke yelled gaining a few 'yeah' though Lucy almost had a fit of laughter of him calling her 'princess' yet again though she tells him not to.
"Don't worry Lu-chan, we'll think of a plan" added Levy assuringly.
"Yeah, like what the shrimp says, with your nakama around we're bound to think of a plan" Gajeel said.
"Well said Gajeel-kun" Lisanna laughed "Don't be afraid to tell us anything Lucy, we'll help you get through this"
Lucy nodded wiping the tears away "Thank you guys, this means so much"
"Just one thing..." Gray interrupted causing the guys to stop their chanting and turned to look at him "what?"
"In this plan… make sure I beat the snot out of Dan"
Levy grinned "Don't need to tell me twice!"
"Just because you asked first doesn't mean you'll be the one to land the first punch snow cone!" Natsu barked. Gray glared at him "What did you say match stick? First come first serve!"
"Gehee, while you two decide who beats him up I'll be the one all ready pounding him!"
"No way you Steel head! I all ready called dibs!" Gray said
"Who died and made you king? If anything I should be the one to kick his ass!"
"You're both wrong, the strongest one should be the one to punish this scum first and that so happens to me!" Gajeel roared back, itching to maybe start a fight with his cousin and the rumored 'Avalanche'
"In your DREAMS!" the rosette and brunette yelled, now starting a little brawl among the three "Fine I'LL PROVE IT" Gajeel cried as the fight commenced.
"Boys..." Levy muttered bitterly "They're hopeless" Cana added.
"I hope Natsu and Gajeel don't make too much of a mess in Gray's house" Wendy mumbled, embarrassed by her older siblings.
"Ah just let them be you guys" Lucy said chuckling "Boys will be boys. Their hype just makes me feel a little a bit better"
"Why don't you swallow a lump of iron why don't you!" you can hear Natsu's voice roar after punching Gajeel in the face. "WHAT!"
"You see?" Lucy pointed as the girls watched the guys fight amusedly "They're kind of funny"
"Thoough of course I am the most mature out of all of them for not partaking in this fight my dear Lucy," said Loke suddenly making his way towards her.
Lyon rolled his eyes "Loke, you're still a womanizer. Womanizers are boys, men aren't. So you're kind of on the same boat as them"
Cana started laughing "Ahahaha that's the best thing I've ever heard come out of your mouth Lyon!" Loke looked at him agape unable to utter a response. He turned his head towards Lucy who was giggling at Lyon's remark "Ah, Sorry. But the way he said it was pretty funny"
"L-lucy!"
"Gomen Gomen" she said quietly but laughing all the same. She was starting to feel a whole lot better after telling her friends what was going on. Her cellphone ranged a soft ringtone indicating she received a text.
"One sec" she grabbed the floral pink phone from her skirt pocket and looked at the screen, she frowned as the name blinked repeatedly before the screen turned black.
"Something wrong Lucy?" Lisanna asked after noticing Lucy's facial change. "Ah it's nothing. Just some spam mail" she said before quickly putting her phone away.
"Lyon why don't you break that fight of theirs so they can practice rehearsing"
"Sure thing Lucy" he smiled "Hey Idiots!~"
She laughed before turning her attention back to her friends, but her thoughts were on something else as she kept recalling the message that she received earlier.
'Come home, we need to talk'
Xxxoxxx
Lucy sighed for the umpteenth time as she found herself in front of dark mahogany doors, she felt herself go rigid as she in took a sharp breath before deciding to open them.
It was quite peculiar that her father of all people reached out to her, whatever he had to say he usually waited till she got home and either left a note or tell her face-to-face. But to have him actually call her out for something, she's starting to feel a little uneasy. 'I hope it's not about Dan coming to school today'
"Well here goes nothing, " she muttered before she pushed the big doors open "Yes Otou-san?"
"Lucy" a dark voice responded as she closed the doors. "It's good to see you're home"
"I suppose," she said quietly without any emotion. The figure in front of the wood desk turned to face the window seated in his spiraling black chair "Well now that you're home lets get to the point"
"And that would be?"
"You're arrangements with Harris' in almost a week. I just want to go by some rules on how you will behave when they're here."
"I'm not a little kid anymore father, I know how to behave myself" she said bitterly as she glared at the floor trying to recollect her emotions.
"Oh, but I don't think you do!" He whipped the chair furiously back to face his desk, he slammed his palms upon it "You're not acting like an Heartfilia should! Here you are goofing around without a care! Hanging with those hooligans from FTA, and then I get a call to hear you're at the Fullbusters? A competitor of one of the Harris! For Petes sake you could mess this up if they hear you know!" he yelled angrily.
Tears started to roll down Lucy's flushed cheeks before she forcefully swallowed the lump in her throat now glaring daggers at her father "Those are my friends you are talking about! They're more of a family to me than you'll ever be! And Fullbusters? Why do you care who I hang out with it? Honestly merely two of my friends from that company are on a whole better ground level than Harris' will ever amount to be! I'm surprised you settled for second best father" she hissed the last word a little violently
"How dare you speak that way to mean young lady!"
She scoffed "And how dare you make your only daughter go through this. How would Mama feel about this? Do you think she would be happy with what you are doing? That you even resort to practically selling your daughter off for more money!" she retorted
"Don't bring that woman into this" he replied, "She was out of the picture a long time ago."
"Hidoi" she whispered darkly "Hidoi, Hidoi, Hidoi. You're a horrible father"
The man chuckled darkly before he returned his own murderous gaze back at his daughter "And what are you going to do? You can't fend for yourself! You can't survive without me! ARE those so-called friends that you think so fondly of will help you? You're a clueless daughter"
"Like that makes you any better," she said before turning her back on him "And who knows, one day I might be gone and you'll regret doing this"
"I'd like to see that" he said as she slammed his office doors loudly.
Though poor Jude didn't know, he didn't know that you should be careful for what you wish for.

The guitar plays effortlessly as the beat of drums kicks to it's beat, the base adding its echo to the harmonies of the other instruments. Loke and Gajeel sing the chorus with the rest of their band mates to the song they decided to rehearse on. "No Surrender" an original sung by Yuichi Nakamura and Kishou Taniyama.
"Why don't we leave it at that?" as the band gradually ended the song after a few beats.
"Hmm sounds good I'm tired," yawned Lyon as he waved a hand in front of his mouth. Natsu also yawned "Man Gray why can't you and Lyon sing the whole song? You guys are much better at it"
Gray who was drinking some of his water looked at the rosette sighing, "You have to sing or it doesn't sound right idiot. Plus we don't know if we will pass the auditions so we got to prove that most of us are capable of singing at least"
"Hey what's that supposed to mean!" muttered a depressed Gajeel who wanted to lead sing the song. Gray rolled his eyes "Nothing, it means nothing. I know how much this debut to a new school means to you"
Gajeel huffed up his cheeks " I really didn't care" Natsu cheekily grinned at his cousin "Liar!" he sang, "You couldn't wait to leave GH to come here and start a fresh!"
"Ah, Natsu just leave the guy alone. I wouldn't want to be on his bad side," grinned Loke after he put down his sleek red base guitar.
"Aww I can take him"
"Even so I don't want you guys fighting here. This is my house" Lyon added bemusedly after watching the three converses.
"OUR House" Gray corrected.
It's been a few days after the band started to rehearse that they actually realized they were pretty damn good at it. Discovering that Natsu and Lyon had good vocals, Gajeel can play guitar but he plays the drums fairly well while Natsu has said he learned how to play a little Guitar. Loke has amazing base playing skills and also skill full on the keys. Which Gray thoroughly points out to the gang. And Gray discovered he hasn't lost it from long ago when he used to practice singing and playing, he is now much better to everyone's remembrance.
"You say we're impressive man" Loke started "But you're like a prodigy Gray. Knowing how to play any string instrument, then the piano, and also the drums and you can sing!" he deadpanned "Man if you were a flirt I would probably hate you!"
Gray groaned and smack his friend on the forehead "BAKA~ Shut up"
But Natsu decided to add his opinion "And don't forget he's stupidly smart" he said annoyed.
"Stupidly smart?"
"You are"
"You know that's an oxymoron Natsu" Gray asked
"An oxy-what?" he replied.
"Moron" he breathed out. "I heard that!" "You were supposed to!"
"OH! And don't forget to mention that he is in charge of 10 establishments of the Fullbuster company" Lyon chirped while he sipped some juice from his juice pouch. The rest of the guys looked at Gray awe struck.
"10!"
"Companies!"
"Run by YOU!"
Gray glared at his brother for mentioning a troublesome thing "What? SO? Lyon takes care of 8 others! He is a pro at martial arts and boxing and knows how to play guitar and is fairly smart. I'm not the only Fullbuster here you know"
Loke shook his head sadly "You Fullbuster siblings sure are something else"
"I'll take that as a compliment" Lyon smirked as he put down his juice pouch.
"But there's still one thing I don't get " Loke said, Lyon and Gray looked at him with an eyebrow quirked up.
"What's that?"
"Why haven't you two gotten a girlfriend yet?"

"Waste of my time"
"I haven't found the right girl yet"
The guys looked at them oddly, Lyon smiling as usual while Gray grunted and blowing some of his bangs off of his forehead. Sure they're siblings and prodigies in their own talent but of course…
They're quite different in other senses.
"Well I can understand Lyon's part" Natsu spoke up "But not Icicle here?"
"If you didn't hear" Gray replied, "I have no time, I have to use my energy on school and work. I'm not interested in looking for one"

"What an old man"
"I feel sorry for the girls that like him"
"Workaholic"
"Ahhh poor Gray-chan" Lyon faked sobbed "You will never learn the pleasure of being in love. How sad"
"Oh shut up"
They all started laughing while Gray huffed up his cheeks in annoyance, aggravated from his friend's words 'I'm not an old man, I just have no choice!'
"Ahhh but no seriously dude, you're not interested in any one?" Loke asked after wiping an imaginary tear from his laughing face.
Gray pouted "Not really no. No one has gotten my attention. I think of the girls as just friends, no other emotion."
"Are you sure?" Loke asked suspiciously "At one point I did hear you had a crush on Erza~"
"WHAT!"
"HAHhaHA yeah I also heard that too Droopy eyes!"
"Gehee, so you like the Titania, I'll support you all the way. You would really need it"
"Who told you that!" Gray asked tugging Loke's collar dragging him closer to his menacing gaze.
"The culprit is r-right behind you" Loke stammered out, Gray looked behind to see his brother humming away happily "Hnnn or so was I wrong? You did not like Erza when we were kids?"
"Where did you get that impression!" he yelled
"I didn't get the impression" Lyon started "I just wanted to see how your reaction would be, hopefully you spilling the beans on who you actually liked"
"You're evil," he mumbled
"Why thanks, we kind of inherited that"
"Not me, you're the adoptive monkey brother"
"How would you know when I'm older than you?"
"I just do"
"Gray-chan you're so funny" Lyon smiled while pinching his brother's cheeks "Stawpp eeet" he tried to say.
"hnnn nobody then? Cana maybe? You seem to get along with Levy as well (A/n: at this Gajeel grunted). What about Lucy? Are you SURE you don't have feelings for her" Loke asked
Gray massaged his temples concentrating "I only like them as Friends JUST FRIENDS. Nothing more got it?"
"Fineeee. But if you like someone just tell us!"
"Yeah, I mean what kind of high school life would you be leading if you don't even trying to find someone you like?" Gajeel added looking at him seriously
"You'll probably die alone if that keeps up," Natsu piped up
"Fine. Fine. Fine. I'll TRY OKAY? Just stop bugging me about it!"
"Speaking of Lucy, what are we going to do? The festival is next Friday and from the looks at school it seems the situation at home has gotten worse" Lyon suddenly spoke up grabbing Gray and the other guys' attention.
"Is that so?" Gray asked frowning "You don't think that old man of hers is going to push the date up early do you?"
Lyon shook his head "I don't know, she hasn't told much besides that she and her father had a fight a few days ago"
Gajeel crossed his arms in front of his chest as he started to think about the situation "Bunny-Girl really has it hard huh? But she's tougher than she looks"
"Bunny Girl?" Both Lyon and Gray questioned "You don't mean Lucy do you?" Lyon inquired
"Whom else would I be talking about?"
Gray narrowed his eyebrows "Why do you call her that?"
"Oh" Natsu grinned, "I forgot that you guys weren't around last year. Well during one of our outings Lucy and Gajeel here made a bet, to be honest I don't remember what about. And Gajeel won"
Loke scowled "The bastard was just taking advantage of the situation"
"GEHEE, you're just mad that your girlfriend had to dress up like 'that'"
"Like what?" Lyon asked
Gajeel smirked "like a bunny"
Gray busted out laughing "What? And I missed that!? Why?"
Gajeel chuckled "Well before the bet she was criticizing my amazing singing skills, so as punishment I made her dress up as a bunny and dance as I sang a song."
"Brilliant" Lyon nodded "Just fucking bloody brilliant"
"Indeed" Gray agreed "Does she get mad when you call her that?"
Gajeel laughed "Ahaha I think she was too afraid of me back then to even complain if I did. But now she just whines or lets it go."
"Man lucky!" Gray grinned "If I called her that she would have smacked me in the next millennium"
"Well you probably would have deserved it asshole" Natsu tsked
Gray rolled his eyes "You're just mad because aside from me that I know you crossed out on your list, you're the only one who hasn't given her a nickname"
Natsu growled while glaring at his handsome friend "Shut up you ice-block"
"Let's see. Loke calls her princess. Gajeel calls her bunny-girl. And though she doesn't count it I call her Blondie. AND the great Salamander hasn't given her one though they have been besties for a looong time? Hmmm? "
"Can it, Ice-Queen. I bet you I could come up with a good nickname for her before you can!"
"That's what you think huh?" Gray smirked "Fine I'll take on that bet! And who ever loses.."
Natsu chuckled "Has to do whatever the person says…"
"for three days.."
"Deal" they both said shaking firm hands. The guys just looked at them unsurprised with the bet that came to.
"Man I realized as a group we like to bet and gamble a lot," Gajeel mentioned.
"Is that healthy? " Loke questioned.
Lyon rested his hands behind his head grinning "Well we're not a normal group of people so we do not do normal things. It makes it interesting don't you think?"
"True" Loke replied, "So who do you think will win this one? My money's on Natsu"
"Are you kidding? Avalanche for sure will win not my idiotic cousin" Gajeel grunted. "Isn't that biased?" Loke asked.
"Not if I truly believed it"
"What about you Lyon?" Loke turned his gaze towards the eldest Fullbuster who was looking at his brother and Natsu arguing again in a bemused way. "Who do you think will win? Your brother or Natsu?"
"Hnn who knows? But it might be interesting to see." Lyon smirked "But enough of that, we still have to rehearse this song for Sunday. I'm not too worried about Jellel and Mira-san but Erza not so sure."
The guys grinned, "Well lets rehearse some more yeah?"
"But we need those two idiots, who haven't stopped fighting" he sighed "How did we get stuck in to this again?"
"Because Mira is scary" both Loke and Gajeel answered.
"Right"
I remember how it all changed, don't you worry now, and the memories are all on the wall, upon the hill across the blue lake is where I had my first heartbreak.
For once there is no cliff hangy hahaha!~ BUT anyways thank you all for the support and love! I can't believe how i said last chapter i wanted to at least get 50 reviews and how the follow count is over 60, you guys made my day when I hit my review mark and have over 70 follows! NICE!
Next chapter is coming soon~ Hopefully in three days. Poll is closed, but it ended in a tie! so i guess you guys will have to wait and see who Gray will sound like on his great debut!Oh and the song that the band just rehearsed is called No Surrender by Yuichi Nakamura. If you check it out on youtube I'm sure you will fan girl scream on who sings it TEHEE. I also do not own this song!
I wonder how will everything turn out! Thanks again and please review and tell me what you think ^_^.
