"Where the hell have you been?" I hear Erza shout to me from across the road.
"Sorry. Needed to make sure I had everything." I shouted back walking across the street to our meeting point. All of the girls and myself agreed that we should meet outside our local recording studio so that we can all be picked up by our tour bus together. How exciting is that!
I finally cross the street and give Erza a hug. "Nervous yet?" I ask
Erza smiles at me "Of course not. This is going to be amazing!" She answers. Of course she is not nervous. I would be surprised if she was. Erza is more like my guide. If she is nervous, I definitely have a right to be. "Come on. Let's get going!" She says to me with a smile as our home for the next few months turns up.
The tour bus looks amazing! It's huge! I can not believe that this is what we are going to be travelling in! On the inside, everything is either white or a dark purple! When we first walk in, there are two sofas on either side of the walls and a table just behind them. There is also a kitchen behind that which seems to have everything we will need and more! It looks like my apartment on a bus! I immediately run upstairs to grab a bed to find Erza and my bass player Juvia have already beaten me to it!
"This is Juvia's bed!" She calls out loud
"Got my bed!" Erza shouts out
I immediately run and find a spare bed. I say bed? It's more like a bunk bed. They're small but they do the job. I bet that I will not need any help going to sleep at night in these when I'm tired. I find the one next to Juvia and immediately park my bum on it just in time for Levy to turn up causing us to laugh.
"Last one Levy!" I shout out to her. She walks over to her newly assigned bed and throws her pillow at me! Luckily I catch it in time and I throw mine at her! I suddenly feel a blow to the head from another pillow and I realise that Juvia has joined in so I throw Levy's pillow at her! Next thing you know we are all have a major pillow fight like we did when we were 5 years old at sleepovers again.
It probably lasts for about 5 minutes when we hear a male's voice coming from the end of the corridor.
"Well well. Looks like girls really do have pillow fights!" We immediately stop and stare at a pink haired boy and Mira - Jane staring at us with what looks like embarrassment from Mira-Jane and excitement from the pink haired boy. All of our faces start to turn crimson with embarrassment. We thought we were alone but clearly that was not the case. I wonder how long they had been standing there before they decided to butt in. I cock my head to the side slightly when I stare at the pink haired boy because he looks slightly familiar…Shit! It's Natsu Dragneel- official hot God and lead singer from All Fired Up! Oh my God this is so embarrassing! I can't believe that he has caught me being so childish and on our first meet! I wanted to look really professional when we met for the first time!
"Well. When you are quite finished" Mira-Jane said with a really sharp tone to her voice - we are all officially dead! "The boys from All Fired Up want to meet with you to welcome you to the tour." And they both start walking down the stairs, not before receiving a laugh and a wink directed at us from Natsu. We all look at each other and start to crack up with laughter until we can take no more. The next thing we know we are rolling on the floor laughing so much from pure embarrassment and awkwardness!
Once we manage to calm ourselves down we prepare ourselves to meet the boys from All Fired Up. I take a deep breath and walk down first followed by Levy, Juvia and then Erza. Trying my best to keep my composure and looking professional, I can not help but feel a fit of giggle coming to me, which Levy has already succumb to! Walking to the living room section of the bus, we see four men and an older gentleman on one of the sofas on our left and Mira-Jane on the sofa on our right. Mira-Jane gets up and starts to address the boys.
"Sorry for the delay gentlemen. I would like to introduce The Mages. This is Lucy our lead singer and guitarist" I start to move towards all of the boys shaking all of their hands with the girls following after they are introduced. When I reach Natsu, we shake a little longer than the others and my hand feels a tingle of warmth in our shake. I immediately feel my face flush. I'm officially shaking hands with my idol! "This is Levy our guitar, Juvia out bassist and Erza our drummer."
"Pleased to meet you all." Says the older gentleman when we finally shake hands with him. "This is All Fired Up and I am Makarov their manager. We have.." He points to each one in turn causing them to raise their hand in a 'hello' wave when they are called. "Natsu our lead singer and guitarist, Grey our lead guitarist, Jellal our bassist and Gajeel our drummer". We all stare back at each other and smile at each other.
"So which of you won the pillow fight?" Natsu asked and we all went crimson again.
"Natsu!" Shouts Makarov while all of the boys try to stifle a laugh along with us. "I do apologise ladies. Natsu here doesn't seem to have many manners." Natsu just sits there and looks proud of himself and laughing along with the boys.
"It's okay." Erza says "We were the ones being childish in the first place."
"Very well. Shall we get going with the plans for the tour? I would like to be on the road within the next few hours since we have a 8 hour journey to our first venue."
So here is chapter 2 and the boys are introduced! I admit this is not my best chapter. I wanted a fun way for the boys and the girls to meet and this is what I came up with! I have already written 20 chapters for this story and believe me it does get better so please bear with me!
Thank you for reading The Mages and I hope you enjoy it as each chapter comes out every Monday!
