It has been a few weeks since Jellal's proposal to Erza and the time has flown! Ever since that night, we have been non stop promoting, gigging and practicing. It's lucky that we are staying with our respective halves otherwise we wouldn't see them at all except stage night! We are always on the road filling up our hours full of radio interviews and signing merchandise to send to fans in our spare time.
Luckily we would just arrived at our next destination in time, play the gig and before we know it, time flies and we are on the move again! Every concert so far has been amazing, but I can't wait to officially do our own album tour! At the moment we are trying to plug the album as much as possible on radio and TV stations which seems to be working. The more we tour, the more people seem to know the words of the singles we have already released!
Last night, pretty much everyone was singing back the chorus of our newest single to me. It was so overwhelming that I nearly cried there and then on stage! We arrived at our next venue late tonight and once we were ushered into the venue the following morning without being seen, Mira-Jane asked to speak with us privately. We all sat down on the sofas in our dressing room. She looks at us all with a very serious look as she waits for us to settle down and get comfortable. To be honest we all now feel more on edge. This can not be good. "Ladies. I have some news." Mira-Jane starts.
"First off I just want to say that I am so proud of you ladies. I really am so proud to be your manager. I know that lately I have been working you very hard but believe me, it will all come to reason soon. Also I am so glad that you all found that special someone in the All fired Up boys. I knew that you all would get on really well and that has made me so happy!"
We all relax a little. Maybe there was nothing to worry about after all.
"But knowing this makes this a little harder on what I'm about to tell you." We all sit forward in anticipation. This really can not be good.
Mira-Jane takes a deep sigh. "Good news first! At the end of this tour, I have managed to secure you an album launch party!" We all cheer and clap in excitement! Our own album launch party! Oh wow this is amazing! I hug Juvia who is sat next to me with delight. Mira-Jane holds her hands out to tell us to stop.
"You didn't let me finish because that's not the best bit. If you pull off this album launch show and it goes fantastically well…..you guys will have your own album tour!" We immediately jump up from our seats and run and hug Mira-Jane crying and shouting with excitement! Our own album launch and maybe our own album tour! This is incredible! I can't believe this!" After a few minutes of celebrating, we all calm down.
"Wait. Hold on." Erza asks causing us to silence. "What's the bad news." Mira-Jane's face freezes in shock. She knew this was going to be asked and I don't think she wants to tell us.
"The boys won't be able to join you on your album tour if you get one." We all freeze as the realisation dawns on us. Of course they won't. They are more successful right now than us. We're on tour with them promoting THEIR latest album.
"Surely, All Fired Up can visit us all on tour?" Juvia asks.
"Of course they can. But they can't be with you the entire time of the tour like they are now. They are off doing a television and radio tour for the album after this tour. They will be very busy so I don't think that they will be able to join you as much as you would hope. The tour you all will be going on will be double what we are doing now. It will be six months long. We need to tour twice as long to get more fans. Plus, we will be incorporating our television and radio tour in with the album tour. It will be even harder than this tour right now. But if we all pull it off like I think we will, it will the best thing that ever happens to your careers."
I feel a huge weight fall to the pit of my stomach as everything hits. After this tour, this will be it. Our lives will be separate and we will both be working towards our own goals. For all I know, Natsu may find Igneel and I may never get to see that moment. I can tell that we all are both excited and disappointed. The album launch and tour are what we are working our hearts out for, for years. But the knowledge that we would be away from our boyfriends who we have seen every waking moments for three months straight hurt even more. We were used to being with them 24-7. How were we going to be able to survive one of the biggest steps in our career, with them doing the same thing elsewhere?
I understood they could not stay all of the time but how do we know that they are not going to just leave us after the tour is over saying that they can't handle it. How do we know that we are not going to drift apart because we do not see each other as much as we want. But sadly this is the music industry. This is what happens. We follow a successful band on tour to get successful ourselves and we move onto different paths to improve our own careers. We were just lucky and sadly unlucky enough to fall in love with some wonderful people who we have known for a short period of time and who have to move on to improve their own careers. "I'm really sorry to tell you all of this guys but you needed to know." She looks down at her watch with a sigh.
"You all need to be on stage in thirty minutes. There is no time to see the boys tonight. They will already be in their own little zone and will not want to be disturbed. To save you all the trouble of telling them, Makarov is telling them all now what is happening too." I feel Juvia's hand grab mine as I feel a tear fall down my face. I turn and see that all of us, Mira-Jane included, are crying. We envelope each other in a large hug in a bid to comfort each other at once but to no avail. We know that this will not help us completely.
"No matter what. We will stick together." Erza says comforting us all. We all nod and agree.
"We all need to be strong. Not just for our relationships but for each other." Levy joins in.
"Juvia loves you all very much" Juvia pipes in and we all hug each other closer as the weight of everything piles on us all and we take the next few minutes to calm each other down.
"The Mages to the stage in 10 minutes. I repeat. The Mages to the stage in 10 minutes." We hear over the intercom system in our dressing room. They seemed to become more frequent as the tour carried on so we were not surprised by this announcement at all.
I wipe my tears and suck in a deep breathe to compose myself. No time to sit here and cry. Worry about it later Lucy….I wonder what will Natsu say about this?
Hello Chapter 29! I know this one is short compared to the others, but I am building up to chapter 30 next week! I hope you like it! It was one of my favourite to write :D
Who else saw the amazingness that was the new fairy tail anime?! Can't believe how close to the manga they made it! I'm so happy! Plus the Nalu themed beginning and end song! I was fangirling the entire time!
Dont forget to write, comment, favourite etc etc
I dont own anything to do with fairy tail - it is all Hiro Mashima's idea! I'm just borrowing them for an idea in my head! I do own the story line though :P
