The Show Must Go On!
Chapter 3 : Feelings
Lucy changed back to her normal attire, and headed back to the stage with the other girls following behind. By the time she set foot to the exit of the dressing rooms, she could already see the 5 boys, Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, Loke, and Laxus, sitting in the theaters seats.
She bit her lower lip. "More people to see me embarrassed... Great!" She cursed under her breath. Erza raised an eyebrow. She can see something was bugging her, but she pushed it aside.
"Oii, Lucy, what are you doing here?" Laxus asked, gazing at Lucy.
"Oh yeah! I forgot to tell 'em," Mira said as she made her way to the seats.
They walked to the stage, sitting towards the end. Lucy looked down at her right hand, smiling.
Wendy giggled. She knew that Lucy was going to be a bit happier being 'Cinderella'. She also had a good excuse to be closer to Natsu.
Lucy puffed her cheeks as the other girls made it to the stage. "Don't you dare say anything, Wendy!"
Wendy's laughed awkwardly at her friend as her sweat dropped.
Mira explained everything to the guys, well, apart from the dressing part that happened a few minutes ago.
"So... Bunny Girl's gonna be the Cinderella?" Gajeel asked.
"I HAVE EARS YA KNOW?!" Lucy budded in.
"Yeah! And I'm totally cool with," Mira said, stars in her eyes.
"NOOO! My LuLu is going to be with Natsu!" Loke freaked out, his hand pulling down his cheeks.
"Hey! What's wrong with me?!" Natsu said as he chased Loke around the theater. Everyone let out a laugh, before the mighty-oh Erza stopped them.
"Stop it! You'll ruin the props." Erza scolded the young teens.
"A-aye!" They said in unison.
Mira giggled at the 3, but she put on a serious face, before saying, "Aright! Let's start from the beginning, since we have a new recruit!" She eyed Lucy, smiling.
Everyone groaned. She could be so bossy if she wants to...
By the time it hit 4:00, Lisanna entered the theater, a cast in her ankle. She waved hi to everyone, getting a hi back.
"Hey, Mira... Sorry about the incident..." Lisanna apologized.
Mira chuckled. "Don't worry! Lucy would be the replacement!"
Lisanna smiled. She knew that Lucy wanted the Cinderella part, and plus, she had a good excuse to be closer to Natsu.
Mira saw the face of Lisanna's, reading the emotion. "I know right!"
Lisanna giggled. "Time for another matchmaking thing?"
Mira grinned and nodded. "You know me too well..."
Lisanna laughed. As of that moment, Lucy got out of the stage, waving hi to Lisanna.
"Hey, Lis!" Lucy greeted the white haired girl.
"Hi, Lucy," Lisanna replied, grabbing a hold of her crutches.
"Sorry for taking your part..." Lucy muttered, gaining a giggle from Lisanna.
"I'ts fine! Plus... It gives you an excuse to be with Natsu!" Lisanna teased, making Lucy blush.
"DON'T TELL ANYONE!"
"Tell anyone what?" A voice came from behind Lucy.
Lucy jumped, before rushing to the dressing room, shouting, "NOTHING!"
Natsu raised an eyebrow, "Lucy was acting weird, do you guys know why?"
Lisanna and Mira shared a laugh, before saying, "No idea..." at the same time.
Natsu just frowned. "Okay..." He said as he headed towards the food banquet.
Mira rolled his eyes before whispering to Lisanna, "He's so dense..."
Lisanna nodded, biting her lower lip. "Isn't it obvious that Lucy likes him?"
Mira just shrugged, not sure what to say. "Maybe... He isn't the smartest with the subject 'love'."
Lisanna giggled. "I know right."
Wendy skipped to Mira humming a "song." "Natsu and Lucy sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes the ba-"
"SHUT IT, WENDY!" Natsu screamed in the other side.
Wendy rolled his eyes at him. "You know you want it!" She said as she wiggled her eyebrows.
Lisanna put her mouth over her mouth, while Mira nodded in approval. "I think you rubbed off on her..." Lisanna said, her voice cracking.
Wendy winked at the girls, before heading to wherever she's heading.
"I wonder what you're wondering," Lisanna said sarcastically.
That night, Lucy was thinking hard. She wasn't writing, which is weird coming from her. I mean, she usually writes every night, or so. But this is unusual.
She spranged her body downward, landing on her back. She was hot, practically sweating after a nice cold, yet warm shower. She was mumbling something as she kept her head high.
"Do I like him?"
"I shouldn't... It'll be awkward between us. You know? The play part and all..." She said to herself.
Just then, her phone rang. Lucy got up, seeing who the caller was. 'Big Bro 3' it said.
Lucy answered the phone, putting it in speaker. "Hey, Sting."
"I have good news!"
Lucy arched an eyebrow. "Yeah...?"
"I'm coming to visit from collage!" He exclaimed over the line. Lucy's eyes widen in shock. It has been almost about 1 year since he last saw him. He had just finished his 2 trimester of collage and went to visit for about a week.
"No way."
"AND, I'm staying there for more than a week," he added.
"No way!" Lucy said louder.
"Huh... Yes way!"
Lucy squealed in delight. "Have you told mom and dad?"
"Nope." Lucy could just imagine his brother crossing his arms as he's saying that.
"Why?" Lcy asked as she calmed down.
"I want to surprise them!"
Lucy understood. "Let me guess? You're coming home because mom's and dad's birthdates are in a week?"
Sting chuckled at her response. "Yep."
"Also! I'm bringing my girlfriend with me," he blunted.
"What? You actually have a girlfriend?!" She jested.
"Pfft, I'm hot. Of course I will," he played along.
"Plus, I'm not surprise you have a boyfriend."
Lucy scoffed in offense. "You suck! But I still love you."
"Of course you do." Lucy rolled her eyes at the screen, as if he could see her, which he clearly cannot.
"Welp, it's 2:35 A.M here, so I gotta go."
"Sure." And with that, the called ending, leaving an amazed Lucy.
"I wonder if he knows I'm in a play..." She whispered, loud enough for her to hear.
She felled on her back one more time, yawning. She looked over at her left, seeing what time it was. "11:20" it screamed. Her eyes flutter before she went into a deep slumber.
"When are you going to notice that I love you, Natsu?" She whispered.
Words: 1,126
A/N: I know, I know! I haven't uploaded in over like, 2 weeks? I dunno why, but I'm not feeling the writing spirit... I haven't felt that over the past few days. Whenever I'm in my seat, typing this, I write like 2 sentences every 5 minutes. It's bothering me soooo much! But let's just hope I can write more within this week prior.
Also, sorry for the short chapter! Like I said, I wasn't feeling it today. I also had to write something, cause I haven't been writring in like over 2 weeks, or so. Sorry if it's sloppy too... UGH! Theres clearly something wrong with me!
And I want to become a writer... ;-;
