Chapter Four

Our first gig

Lucy's POV:

Its been three months since I joined Fairy tail, three months of nonstop practice with a certain pink haired boy, three months of playing at the guild every night to make money, three months of getting closer to my new band mates and all of the other people that seem to frequent the guild and I have loved every minute of it. This place had quickly become my home and these people have become my family. Erza is like the big sister of our group she books our shows and tells us what to do and when to do it, which is good because if it was up to the boys they would just goof off and pick fights with each other all day. Erza isn't as scary as Natsu first implied she was that being said I still wouldn't want to piss her off.

Grey was pretty cool, when he kept his clothes on which he was doing less and less often now, I guess he was getting comfortable around me, he was also one of the best guitarist I had ever heard, well aside from Natsu which the pink haired boy would never hear from me. I had also found out why he was called ice princess, Grey had a hard time warming up to people and usually just gave them the cold shoulder, especially his female fans, but Grey was loyal and as much as him and Natsu fought and yelled at each other you could tell that they always had each other's backs.

Gajeel was quiet, he didn't talk much and when he did it was always something rude or insulting, but he was an amazing drummer and you could tell that deep down cared about the band and its members, it just wasn't something that he liked to show ever.

I had also made other friends in my three months hanging around the guild, the bartender whose name was Mira, was always so sweet and kind to everyone and always willing to help, she even helped me find my new place, which I got for super cheap because my new landlady was a fan of hers, because get this Mira was also a centerfold model, who would have thought. I also befriended the tiny blue haired girl that I had noticed Gajeel talking to my first day, I discovered that her name was Levy and she was a reporter for Music Weekly and a huge fan of Fairy Tail, which I think was because she also had a massive crush on our surly drummer. Levy and I were always talking, you know when I wasn't practicing or playing sets at the guild and she was quickly becoming one of the best friends I had ever had, you know besides the pink haired boy with the constant smile that seemed to worm his way into everyone's heart.

So there I was sitting at our usual table talking with Levy about her job and all the bands she got to meet while waiting for our turn to play, since another local guild band called the Thunder Legion, who were pretty good if you liked the thrashing metal kind of music, where up now, when suddenly an arm was draped around my shoulder. I didn't even have to look next to me to know that it was Natsu and that he was excited about something, I mean I could feel the whole table practically vibrating from his leg shaking. I tried to ignore him, but he was a pretty hard person to ignore so I just sighed and turned my attention from Levy to my pink haired friend,

"Yes Natsu?" He beamed that smile of his at me, and really it was contagious because before I knew it I was smiling too,

"I've got great news!" I waited for him to continue but he stopped and I knew that he was doing to me what I always did to him, and really since I've met him my patience is almost nonexistent anymore. So I bumped him with my shoulder as I asked,

"What is this great news?" He was nearly bouncing out of his seat by this point as he said,

"We've got a gig." I rolled my eyes,

"Natsu we have a gig every night, here." He just waved my comment away as he continued,

"No, we are doing one of our kamikaze shows tomorrow night to introduce you publicly into the band. Isn't that awesome?" I could feel the color drain from my face and I suddenly felt like I was going to puke, playing here was one thing, but those shows were always huge and how were all those die hard Fairy Tail fans going to react to me, that's when I heard his voice very clearly and felt his breath on my neck as he whispered in my ear, "Are you alright? You look kinda sick." I just nodded and put on a smile as I excused myself to the bathroom.

I knew that this was coming, I really did, and I guess I had just hoped that it would have taken longer. Once in the bathroom I splashed some cold water on my face and looked at myself in the mirror and said,

"You can do this Lucy, this is your dream, and it's what you've been working for your whole life, now suck it up and do your best." I touched the key around my neck and smiled to myself, I could do this and I had my band mates and friends to help me.

Natsu's POV:

As we waited behind the makeshift stage of some abandoned mill for all the people that had figured out the cryptic message of where our show would be located I chanced a look over at Lucy and the girl looked as if she was going to be sick. I didn't understand what it was she had to feel nervous about, I mean she was amazing, she always seemed to know how to draw in the crowd with just her voice, and once people heard her sing they were hooked, they just couldn't believe how we were ever popular without her. I knew that she was going to do great tonight, but telling her that, and making her believe that were two different tasks that I didn't know if I was up too, but it was worth a try.

I quietly snuck behind her and lowered my lips to her ear as I whispered,

"Breathe." She nearly jumped out of her skin as she let out a little shriek, and then she was glaring at me and slapping me as she scolded me,

"Natsu, I told you not to scare me like that." But I just smiled down at her, because I had accomplished what I thought might be impossible I just took her mind off of the impending show. I then lowered my head until our foreheads touch and said softly,

"You know you're going to be incredible right? Just pretend that this is just us playing at the guild. Just be you." I heard her take a deep breath and ask quietly,

"What if they don't like me, because I'm not her?" I smirked,

"Then we don't need them, we'll just gather new Lucy loving fans." I heard her laugh and I knew that my mission was complete, it was then that Erza walked over to us and said,

"It's time to go on, is everybody ready?" We all nodded and said yeah. I then took Lucy's hand in mine and said,

"Come on, let's go." Then as I looked down at her in her low slug black jeans that were held onto her hips by a her star wars belt with a millennium falcon buckle, it was a belt that I will admit I tried to steal but sadly it was too small. Lucy also had on this black bedazzled crop top that showed her flat stomach, which I knew came out of Erza's closet. She just looked up at me in confusion and asked,

"What?" I shook my head as I unwrapped the scarf I never went on stage without and then wrapped it around her neck as I said,

"For luck." She looked at me and then down at the scarf and smiled as she said,

"Thank you." I just laughed as I grabbed her hand and tugged her onto the stage.

Lucy's POV:

Once my feet hit the stage my entire body went cold, so I put Natsu's scarf to my nose and inhaled that smoky guy smell that was just his and I could feel myself calming down as he spoke to the crowd,

"Hey you guys, I'm feeling all fired up, how about you?" everyone was screaming for his attention and I smiled as he catered to them, "Well we have a surprise for you guys tonight, Fairy Tail has gained a new member and I would like you all to cheer our Lucy on for her first Fairy Tail show." Then Natsu was gone, he had rushed over to where his guitar and mike were set up and I was alone staring out at a crowd of people that were mumbling about if I was any good, some of the guys thought I was hot, and a lot of the girls wanted to know why I had on Natsu's scarf. I took another deep breath and said into the mike,

"Hey there everyone, how about we start this show off with a song that we all know." That's when Natsu started in on the guitar, and I counted the beats and then it was my cue and I opened my mouth and sang,

"Walk the line, but she's gonna give you up. She's like a loaded gun and you're not the only one but, I know that you, you've got it going on. I know that she won't give in, I know that I will, I will." Right on cue the rest of the band came in and it was perfect. I smiled as I continued singing and began to move around the stage,

"Tonight we dance love, come take a chance 'cause I'm not, not gonna give it up. Tonight we dance love, steal this romance 'cause I'm not, not gonna give it up. I'm not, not gonna give it up." I then leaned against Grey a bit as he played and I pretended to sing the words to him,

"Take a breath 'cause, she's gonna pull you down, her mystery is lonely, I've got the time so hold me." I then made my way over to Natsu as I continued, "You know that I, I've got it going on, step in a little closer, Her game is over, over. Tonight we dance love, come take a chance 'cause, I'm not, not gonna give it up. I'm not, not gonna give it up. Tonight we dance love, steal this romance 'cause, I'm not, not gonna give it up. I'm not, not gonna give it up." I turn my back on the boys and start singing to the crowd again, and they are singing along with me and I am elated,

"Tonight we dance, tonight we dance, just close your eyes, 'cause you and I won't get a second chance. Tonight we dance, tonight we dance, just close your eyes 'cause you and I won't get a second chance. Tonight we dance, tonight we dance, just hold on tight 'cause you and I won't get a second chance. Tonight we dance love, come take a chance 'cause, I'm not, not gonna give it up. I'm not, not gonna give it up. Tonight we dance love, steal this romance 'cause, I'm not, not gonna give it up, I'm not, not gonna give it up."

I was swept away by the crowd and the music and my voice, they all just came together and made the wonder moment. I couldn't tell you how many songs we sang or how long we were on stage for, but I can tell you that it was the most fun I'd ever had in my life and I couldn't wait to do it again.
