Author's note: One of my favorite past times when I'm not having a busy schedule or writing a fannon is watching The Fairy Tail anime with my mom. We watch it almost every night and can't get enough of it!

(I do not own any of the characters of Fairy Tail or of Beauty and The Beast)

Chapter 3: Practice, Practice, Practice!

Three Days have passed since the auditions and there was massive amount of anxiety in the guild. Not even a single job could cure the anxiety. Before the day was over on the fourth day, Makarov was seen coming down stairs holding a piece of paper. Everyone in the room watched as the tiny old man used his titan magic to extend his body and pin the paper to the Request Board. Soon everyone began to crowd around the paper. It was what they were expecting; it was the audition results.

"Move your ass Gray I want to see!" Natsu hollered.

"Shut up flame for brains and let me look!" Gray yelled back.

"Move your butt Cana I want to look!" Lucy screamed.

"Hey! I have a right to look as much as you do!" replied Cana. The paper was written on parchment in a deep black ink. It read:

The whole room was in disbelief at the sight of the results. Everyone in the room's eyes soon turned to Gajeel and Levy. They both were in disbelief at this as well. They were the lead roles. They knew they had feelings for each other but they never expected this to happen.

"Well, at least I get a role." muttered Natsu.

"I always told you that you were a hot-head." Gray chided.

"Wait a minute?!" someone screamed, who turned out to be EverGreen. EverGreen then pointed at Levy and screamed "SHE got the role of Belle?!" EverGreen always was impressed with herself so it didn't surprise them she would freak out like this.

"Take it easy EverGreen." Cana said calmingly to the mage.

"Yeah, a lot of us wanted that role." said Juvia "But, the judges felt that Levy was the best. Besides you got a pretty good role."

Evergreen then calmed down and sat down at the table.

"What bothers me is since when did Laxus audition?" Lucy pointed out.

"Ah, I always liked that play." said a voice. It was Laxus. "Besides, it's a good way for me to rid any leftover pent up anger I have from a few years ago."

Erza was looking at the board and began to wonder why she was not a lead role and only a five minute role. But she then realized why, her stage fright. Erza then calmed herself and accepted that this small role was a way to help her overcome her stage fright. The next day began play practice. Reedus helped out the stage crew by painting all the scenery and drew out the furniture with plans of bringing them to life during dress rehearsal and all the nights of the play. Levy was sitting with Gajeel on the stage looking at their lines.

"Can you believe it Gajeel?" Levy asked "Were the lead roles!"

"Eh." he replied "I guess it's cool. But don't expect any lovey dovey crap from me! Cause that's not happening!"

"Oh!" Levy angrily replied "Well don't expect any from me either!" She then stormed off with an angry expression on her face.

A month had past and the guild was practicing endlessly day in and day out. They would take shifts to check the Request Board but made sure it wasn't something dangerous. They would send their best to do the dangerous jobs in order to get them out of the way. Happy, Carla and PantherLilly flew around the town of Magnolia giving out flyers so everyone could see the play. There was non-stop advertisement for this play all over Magnolia. To help with quick costume changes, the guild went to a Magical Tailor who was gifted in creating clothes that would change at the right moment. Levy received a beautiful blue dress that changed into any dress on her mind.

"I love it!" she squealed. As she twirled around, the dress would change in length and colors to whatever her heart desired. She looked over to Gajeel who was wearing a fancy petticoat with a royal blue color and many frills. It looked as if he had difficulty breathing in it. Levy couldn't help but give a small giggle at Gajeel. Her cheeks began to show a light shade of pink when she looked at Gajeel in that outfit.

Opening night soon arrived. The whole town of Magnolia was there. The Master used his Titan Magic on the guild and made it large enough to be considered an opera house. Levy took a peek outside the curtain and couldn't believe her eyes. Everyone in town was there! She took a deep breath and went back stage to meet up with everyone. Happy was already in his teacup costume and Wendy was helping Carla add some feathers onto her costume. Gajeel was sitting on his chair wearing nothing but a pair of pants and a long cape; he was shirtless, wearing fake horns and was picking his teeth. Erza was changing into a raggedy cloak and had plans to use her Heavens Wheeling Armor for this role. Makarov soon gathered the entire guild together and he began his speech.

"Ok everyone." Makarov began "It's our time! The big moment we've been waiting for! Opening night!"

The guild screamed with cheers of excitement! Erza was looking outside the curtain and noticed a hooded figure near the exit. She knew right away it was Jellal, who made it all the way here despite the danger to watch her perform.

"We worked hard over the past month," Makarov continued "nothing but pure heart and soul is going out their tonight! Now, let's show this crowd why The Fairy Tail guild is Number One!" He held his hand up in the famous position that Laxus created when he was a child. Gajeel's clothes immediately changed into that of a prince and he ran to get into position. Everyone began to scatter around crazily. It was almost ShowTime.
