"THE MAGES! Meaning All Fired Up are your number 2 slots for these charts!" The bus erupts as I grab onto the girls, hugging them for dear life as it sets in. We have a number one album and a number one single in the charts! Plus they are our first releases! This is incredible! We are getting hugs left right and centre and champagne is flowing everywhere. I am crying profusely as it all settles in.
I watch as MiraJane conducts the interview for us on the phone as we are too busy being caught up in it all. I then watch as Natsu grabs the phone off MiraJane talking to the reporter.
"We are so proud of them at the moment! No one else deserves these number ones right now more than them. We remember what it was like to win our first number one slots and I'm sure they will always remember this...Thanks! See you later!" With that he hangs up the phone and continues the cheering that had subsided so Natsu could talk. He grabbed his face in my hands and his lips attack mine as fast as he can.
Eventually we pull apart but Natsu keeps his head in my hands "I am so proud of you Lucy. You all have worked so hard for this! You all fully deserve this!"
I smile back at him, my eyes starting to tear up being so overwhelmed by it all. "Thank you Natsu. I love you"
He kisses me again "I love you too"
"Hey Dragneel! Don't hog her for the night! This is a night of celebration you know!" Levy shouts at the both of us, grabbing my wrist and dragging me away from Natsu laughing.
"She is mine! Of course I can hog her!" Natsu shouts out.
"No Lucy is ours for the night!" Juvia shouts out leaving Natsu almost pouting. I giggle. He looks so cute when he pouts.
"I don't belong to anyone!" I shout out while laughing. "Anyway I want to say something!"
I grab the drink that I have in my hand and clink it so everyone shuts up. "Thank you. I just wanted to say to you all thank you for everything. Without the girls over here and their hard work, we would not be here today, thank you to MiraJane for being an amazing manager and kicking our butts when we have seriously needed it, and also thank you to Makarov and the boys, for their amazing support in everything that we have done as a band. If we had not gone on the tour with you, who knows where we would be right now and whether we would actually have met. So I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you. TO OUR NUMBER ONE ALBUM AND SINGLE!" I shout out finishing my little speech. Everyone shouts and cheers clinking glasses.
For the next few hours, all of us join together in drinking multiple glasses of champagne and beers and dancing to music blasting from an ipod somewhere on the bus. The drinks flow heavily and we party on all night long.
It's probably well into the morning by this point and we have been told by MiraJane and Makarov that we can stay on the boy's tour bus tonight since this is their last night, but she is picking us up at mid day to get going for the rest of the tour. We groan slightly but agree in the end since it means that we get to spend the night with the boys one way or the other. I was a little concerned about Erza and Jellal staying in the same vicinity for so long, but it seems that they are getting along quite well all night because we have not heard the slightest bit of an argument from them yet.
Speaking of them, I decide while dancing slowly with Natsu ,since we can't really dance that well, to have a look around the bus to see if I can see either of them. I don't particularly want a fight to happen when neither of them can leave. I soon catch them both standing in a corner near the back of the bus where it is slightly quieter.
I catch Jellal and Erza speaking to each other, in what seems to be a discussion but looks somewhat serious. I notice that Erza has a sad look on her face, mixed in with a little uncertainty, but it is quashed when I see Jellal's hand go up to cup Erza's face. I gasp quietly in shock. Does that mean that they are back together! Have they managed to resolve their differences? Natsu turns me quickly so that they are not in my view again and I slightly groan a bit. Although this is supposed to be a private moment between the two of them, I can not help but look over to oversee that things are going okay. I worry a lot about their relationship, not because of the impact that it will have on all of us, but for the pair of them. It is obvious that they are meant to be. I just hope that they will be able to see it through.
As Natsu turns me around again, I manage to advert my eyes back to them and I can see them hugging each other. Erza looks so happy, with a large smile on her face that I have not seen in months! That must mean that they are back together! That is amazing! I am so happy for them both!
I didn't mean to but I let out a small yelp of delight that they are back together. Operation reunite Jerza was a success! But I know that we all definitely need to hear it from them before we jump to any conclusions.
Natsu manages to hear my small yelp of excitement and pulls his face over to where I am currently looking at the pair getting back together and hopefully getting over their differences once and for all.
"You know it's rude to stare Luce" He whispers in my ears, making me slightly jump
"I know. I am so happy for them though" I smile with happiness for my best friend.
"I know aswell but I'm sure that she will tell us in her own time and we don't want to ruin in the moment for them" Natsu says
"Wow. You're incredibly wise Mr Dragneel." I mock
Natsu looks back at me with feigned shock "Really? I never thought I could be so smart!" I giggle in response
"I know that I wouldn't want anyone to walk in a moment like that with you" I say. Natsu nods.
"But I'm glad that they managed to sort things out on their own. No need to intervene or anything like that" He says. This time it's my turn to nod.
I turn my head back in time to see them both walking hand in hand past us without saying a word and heading upstairs to the bunks. Levy and Juvia manage to catch my eyes while Gray and Gajeel look at Natsu. We all grin broadly and give each other hugs and high fives discretely in celebration. We don't want them to know that we were hoping for this for a while.
Gajeel is the first to speak and sighs heavily "Finally"
We all laugh in response.
"I think it is safe to say that we all agree here to not go upstairs for the next few hours, if not at all tonight yes?" Gray suggests. We all immediately agree, some of us silently grimacing.
We would all be dead if we walked in on THAT!
The mages won! Well done those who answered correctly!
Right amigos! I have a proposition for you! I have written an extra chapter (chapter 18.5 if you will) just on the chat that Jellal and Erza have, in their POV, at the back of the bus. Do you want to read it? (which Im guessing from the amount of Jerza fans I have on here, I think it will probably happen) or... I can skip the extra chapter and move on to the morning after.
The choice is yours! Don't think that others are going to say it for you if you want to read the extra chapter, make your voices heard! (Just so you know in advance there will NOT be any Jerza hanky panky written in the chapter. I only write Nalu hanky panky!)
Usual stuff: I own nothing to do with Fairy Tail!
Love to all! x
