The Show Must Go On!

Chapter 1 : The New Cinderella

"M-m-me?" she stuttered, while pointing at herself.

Mira nodded in excitement."Yep, you! Wendy told me that you knew all the lines, since of course, you are the script writer..."

Behind the silver hair beauty, was a petite bluenette.

Lucy's eyebrows twitched.

'Wendy! I said I was fine without having the Cinderella part!' She cursed in her mind.

Wendy chuckled. "Congrats, Lucy!" She said as she clapped her hands.

Lucy sighed in defeat. After all, she actually really wanted the Cinderella part. But she was to afraid to try-out, for some unknown reason.

"And, lucky for you, you have the same size as Lisanna," Erza pointed out. Lucy gave her a weak smile.

"That's great and all, but I'm HERE!" Natsu screamed. Mira looked at his direction, a frown in her face.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just get ready, and you'll rehearsal with Lucy, okay?" She asked. "By the way, move! People! Move! We only have one week!"

Everyone's sweat dropped.

'This is sure going to be a long week...' They all thought, which seemed like in despair.

Lucy made her way to the stage, feeling a bit anxious.

"Okay... So, we are in the part that Cinderella meets the prince, right?" Mira silently asked herself.

"Alright! Put the props!" Mira yelled.

Jellal and Laki dragged a large door into the stage, and changed the background. A few minutes later, the stage looked like a real ball.

"Let's begin!" Mira exclaimed.

"Cinderella" opened the ball gates, only to be greeted by Natsu, or should I say, "The Prince". Natsu made his way to her. Lucy bowed, in respect of the "Prince". Natsu took her hand, and kissed it, which was for some reason, soothing for Lucy...

"May I have this dance?" Natsu-Err... The Prince asked.

Lucy couldn't help but chuckle a bit, but it wasn't in the script, but Mira didn't mind. "I will be delighted."

"AND... CUT!" Mira yelled.

Everyone stopped, just to look at that delightful scene. Lucy flushed, and quickly made her way into the dressing room. Natsu just stood there, speechless, while Mira giggled.

"Don't they look like a real couple?" Mira whispered to Levy, which was next to her. Levy giggled in return, with a nod.

Juvia had stars in her eyes. "Juvia thinks they match together, very much!"

"Yes," Erza agreed.

"Not bad..." Gildarts, who played the king, said.

"I'm so excited!" Wendy exclaimed, as she ran to the dressing room, quickly following behind her, was Erza and Levy.

Moments later, they found Lucy, in her dressing room. "Ugh..." She groaned.

"You where great!" Levy complimented.

Lucy jumped off her seat, making her hit her head into the floor. Levy giggled, followed by Erza.

"You guys! This isn't funny... You know I have a small crush on him!" Lucy pouted.

"Yeah, yeah, I know..." Levy said.

"But you did great out there!" Levy added.

"Oh, hey! I think we should try out you ball gown!" Erza said, going to the small wardrobe. Lucy twitched her eyebrow. She hasn't wore a ball gown for the longest! Ever since she enrolled to Fairy Tail Academy, a boarding school.

"Yes!" Wendy said, jumping up and down. Wendy followed Erza.

"Okay... Found it!" Erza said, taking out a beautiful baby blue dress, which was extremely puffy. Lucy gasped.

"Like it? I stayed up all night to finish it. I'm just lucky you and Lisanna have the same size..." Erza said.

"Yes... It's beautiful..." Lucy said, stars in her eyes.

Erza smiled. "Kay! Get dress! I wanna see how you look!" Erza whined.

"Yes!" Wendy jumped up and down.

"C'mon! Go, go!" Levy pushed her to the changing stall.

"O-Okay!"

After a few moments later, she opened up the curtain, only to be revealed by a Lucy, in a gown.

"Whaaaa!" Wendy said.

"I-I... D-d-don't know..."

"Dang! You look nice!" Levy said.

"Yes... But... Theres something missing..." Erza said.

"Mh..?" Lucy looked over at her direction.

"The glass slippers! Of course!" Erza said.

"Oh..." Levy

"Yes!" Wendy said, jumping up and down. Lucy rolled at the bluenette.

"Here you go!" Erza said as she handed her a pair of "glass" slippers.

She nodded as she sat down. She slipped her new shoes on. She stand up, tumbling a bit. They all gasped.

"Wahhhh!" Wendy said, jumping up and down.

"I'm gonna tell Mira!" Erza said, leaving the girls.

As the girls walked to the dressing room, Mira was too excited about the show.

"Yay!" She squealed.

"Juvia thinks this is gonna turn out okay," Juvia said.

"yes, yes, yes!" Mira said, almost falling off her seat.

Natsu jumped off the stage, walking to Mira's direction. "What's all this about?" He asked.

"About that the show will be a blast!"

Natsu looked confused. "I don't get why your so excited. When I did that part with Lisanna, you weren't doing what you're doing." Natsu said as he scratched his neck.

Mira face palmed. 'Yeez.. How dense could this guy be?' She thought.

"You'll get it afterwards..." Mira said, looking a bit disappointed.

"If you say so..." Natsu said.

Suddenly, the theater doors burst open, revealing a few boys.

"Oh! Hey guys!" Mira waved.

"So... Did we missed anything?" A blonde guy asked.

"Nope!"

"I'm just glad you guys agreed to be our audience..." Mira added.

"No problem!" A raven haired dude said.

"Yeah, our pleasure," a orange haired guy said.

"I have nothing to do, besides," a black haired guy said.

"Good, know, Laxus, Gray, Loke, and Gajeel, you can seat over there," Mira said as she pointed towards the seats. They all nodded in reply."Also, I recommend if you guys change, you'll get allof your sweat in the seats..." She complained.

They all groaned. "We are in the soccer team..." Laxus reassured.

"Yes, I know that," Mira flashed back.

They all groaned one more time, before they headed towards the dressing room.

Mira turned around, only to see a scarlet hair running towards her. "Mira! Come check out Lucy in her dress!"

Mira suddenly smiled. "Yes! Natsu, you stay here, Juvia, follow me!"

Juvia smiled and followed her. Natsu groaned. 'Why can't I see her..?' Natsu thought.

The dressing room was already packed, by the time they made it.

"Oh whoa! That looks so pretty in you!" Mira exclaimed.

"You think so?" Lucy asked, looking down at the floor.

"Juvia thinks so too!" Juvia agreed.

Lucy smiled a bit. "Thanks guys!"

"Know... We just need to plan your hair..." Levy said, a finger in her chin.

"Ahh... Yes!" Wendy said, jumping up and down.

"Will you stop doing that?" Lucy asked.

"Okay..." Wendy said, stopping.

"Alright! Lucy, sit down," Erza said, tapping the seat.

Lucy nodded. She tried to sit down, but it was partially impossible, since her dress was puffy for its own good.

"Lets see... A bun will be nice!" Erza exclaimed. She grabbed a comb and combed her nice blonde silky hair.

"You know... This show wouldn't be as bad as I thought..." Mira reassured.

"Yes!" Levy agreed.

"But Juvia doesn't want to be mean to Lucy!" Juvia whined.

Mira rolled her eyes at Juvia and Levy. "It's only for the show, guys!"

"Real or not, she is gonna be a perfect Cinderella!" Mira added.
