Authors Note: I didn't mentioned it before - but I wanted to let everyone know that the song used - Break Beat Bark is sung by Yuna/Sasyaka Kanda from Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale! I Promise, next time there's a song mentioned, and I'll add an authors note at the end of the chapter to tell you where the song came from and who sang it!
So this is how it started - Lucy met Natsu who was looking for a dragon, she bought them something to eat as a thank you for showing her the way to the train station. Then she finds out that he has motion sickness. Lucy shook her head as she watched Natsu - become Pukey Looking Natsu. Lucy looked out the window.
"Home." Lucy thought.
She was going to see Big Brother Laxus and Gramps again. This time she was happy to be home. She was going to be able to tell them about the new keys she had. She was still missing a few, but the one that was the most important to her was Leo the Lion. Leader of the Zodiac. He was the most powerful one. His key was out there, according to Aries, she had to find his key.
"Hey, Lucy!" Happy said - bringing Lucy out of her thoughts.
"Yes?"
"What kind of magic do you use?"
"Celestial Magic."
"What is that?"
"I use Keys, like these..." She pulls them out to show Happy, "to summon a spirit to help me in battle. They each have their days off that they can be summon on. Three of them were passed down to me from my mother." Lucy sighed at the thought that she lost her parents to her Uncle.
"That sounds lame." Happy sighed.
"Then WHY THE HELL DID YOU ASK!" Lucy thought as she stared at the blue cat.
"The Train to Magnolia will be arriving at the Station in 9 minutes. Please gather your belongings now." The conductor said.
"How the hell do we get Pukey off the train?" Lucy asked looking at Happy.
"He'll slowly move when the train stops." Happy looked at Natsu. "Hey, Natsu, we're almost home!"
"Mfugh." Natsu groaned.
"Uh..." Lucy looked at him and then at Happy.
"He said, 'Yay' or something." Happy noted.
"You don't even know what he said!" Lucy thought as she shook her head.
The train stopped and Lucy watched as Natsu crawled out of a train. She raised an eyebrow as she watched him carefully. He got off the train and kissed the ground.
"Okay - ew." She thought. "Finally home."
"Alright! Let's go to the guild hall." Natsu said after a few minutes of kissing the ground and enjoying the fact that he's not moving.
Natsu, Lucy and Happy all head to the guild. Lucy looks around as she spots many new places that weren't there before - marking them in her head as places she wants to go to. She looked at Natsu and Happy as they seemed to enjoy the fact that they were home. She shook her head as it would seem like they were gone for three weeks at a time. Just then Natsu kicked down the door -
"ALRIGHT BEAVER WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!" Natsu screamed and then punched the guy in the face.
"Gramps allows this...fighting to happen?" Lucy thought.
"Well, Well, looks like there's some fresh meat." A certain voice said - one that Lucy knew.
"Laxus!" Lucy smiles as she looked at him.
"LUCY!" Gramps shouted - and the fighting stopped. "Welcome back."
"Wait! How the hell do you know them, Looney?" Natsu asked after punching Gray away from him.
"Oh, um, well, I - I never told you my last name." Lucy looks at Natsu.
"Oh this good." Laxus crackled.
"Well, what is it?" Natsu looked at Lucy then looked up at Laxus, squinting his eyes.
"Well, um, it's Dreyar." Lucy's face turned red.
"Wait! You and Laxus are related?!" Someone new shouted.
"We're cousins." Lucy answered. "Look, it's not a big deal..."
"Come on Lucy, let's get you, your guild mark and you can tell me all about your travels." Gramps smiled signaling her to go up to the office.
Inside the office and she was sitting in a chair, Laxus was standing behind her. Makarov was sitting at his desk. She looked at Laxus and then at Makarov.
"Alright, a deal is a deal. Here I am." She sighed as she put out her right hand. "Here in pink." She smiled.
"I'm glad you are here." Makarov smiled.
"How was touring?" Laxus asked.
"It was great~" Lucy sighed.
"What's wrong child?" Makarov noticed her sigh.
"I'm just going to miss it." Lucy answered. "I know - I had two years, but those two years were amazing."
"Well, the Harvest Festival is coming up - maybe you can preform there." Makarov said with that sparkle in his eyes. "You can even have your own float! Oh this amazing!" Makarov smiles.
"Wait, Grandpa, I can't possibly do that, won't people come see the festival, they would want to come see - Celeste performing in the parade." she sighed as she shook her head. "I don't know if I could do that to you guys - you always worked so hard for it."
"I'm guild master, and if you want, you can either perform yourself or as Celeste, but I want my granddaughter to sing on her own float." Makarov looked at the blonde.
"I'll need a band!" Lucy looked at him.
"My team and I will be your band. We have time to practice." Laxus patted her head.
"I don't even know who I want to perform as - yet." She frowned. "So how much time do we have?" she asked Makarov.
"A week and a half." Makarov looked at her, "Is that enough?"
"I'm not sure, I mean we can preform a song I already I have done. So it's easier for your friends to know." Lucy said as she looked at Laxus.
"We'll start in a few hours." Laxus looked at her. "I'll take them to my place, and you just show up as her."
"Right." Lucy nodded.
Lucy left the office with her guild mark on her hand and soon enough Natsu walked over to her and smiled.
"Hey Looney! Want to go a job before the Harvest Festival?" Natsu asked.
"It's Lucy - and Gramps needs me around the guild to help set up for the Harvest Festival." Lucy answered him. "Plus I really rather go home and get some sleep and a shower."
"Maybe later!" Natsu smiled.
"Sure." She nodded.
Lucy watched as Laxus and the Thunder Legion left to go to his house. After a few minutes, Lucy left as she knew where Laxus lived. She wondered what Song she should do - one that was new? One that she already did? One that she made up on the spot? Lucy knew she told Laxus one she already sang , but would that really better? She arrived at his house - and used her Transformation Magic to turn into Celeste. She knocked on Laxus's door.
"Yo~" Someone said - who was not Laxus.
Lucy looked up and raised an eyebrow. "Um, Laxus?" She asked
"Nah, I'm Bickslow.." The guy said.
"Right, I'm looking for Laxus, I'm Celeste, I was told to come here, from Master Makarov to come here. He said he wanted me to sing at the Harvest Festival." She smiled.
"How does the popular Celeste know Fairy Tail's guildmaster?" Another voice said - a female said.
"I met him and Laxus two years ago before I became famous." Lucy said.
"Are you going to let her in or not?" Laxus's ruff voice said as he was really pissed that they wouldn't let Luc-Celeste into his house. "We have a song to prepare."
"Right, what are we going to perform anyways?" A green-haired wizard asked.
"Oh I don't know the rest of your names, Bickslow introduced himself, and I know Laxus" Celeste said.
"I'm Freed and the female is Evergreen." The green-haired wizard - Freed said.
They were in a room, where there three guitars, and drums. Freed picked up the bass guitar, Bickslow was behind the drums, Evergreen picked up rhythm guitar while Laxus picked up the lead guitar. Lucy was nervous about trying to have another group try and play her songs - that a bunch of other people have tried to do covers - She knew one song that they couldn't mess up. She went into her bag gave them sheet music. It was to one of her newer songs - No-Limit. She handed the correct sheet music to the right instruments.
"Ready?" She asked.
"Yeah." Bickslow nodded as he started the count. "One two, one two three four." He started playing the song.
Whoa whoa whoa whoaaa
Oh, we'll get stronger!
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Hey! Mr. Pain! Bring it! Bring it!
I'll never let you do as you like
I will get stronger than you
I've already made up my mind to be so!
I was always born a dreamer
Letting my heart lead the way
The more challenges that block me
Make tomorrow exciting
Eh Yo! Come my way, show me whatchu got, Mr. Pain!
No – no – no – no you know there's no stopping me!
I was never fit for losing
RAISE A FLAG
Even if scars fill every inch of my skin
RAISE A FLAG
I know my friends 'll fight until end … by my side
"Okay! Stop!" Evergreen said.
"What's wrong?" Lucy asked.
"I don't get the point of the song..." Evergreen said.
"It's about never giving up." Lucy told her. "To always make the best of today to make it to tomorrow."
"Is there a different song we can do? I don't know if this one will be good enough," Evergreen said.
"What do you mean?" Lucy asked.
"Will be like - I don't know people be happy and dancing?" She asked.
"I mean, I have another song, we could try - It's brand new, but I know that people will love it because it's me." Lucy smiles.
"Let's see it." Laxus nodded.
Lucy handed out the new sheets - Resolution. She sighed as she waited as everyone got the sheet music. She picked up the lyrics for the song. She never really sang this one before - in front of people. Only in the studio.
"One two, One two three four." Bickslow counted hitting the drums.

They stopped because they all agreed that this song would be better than the other one - but if they needed another song, that they would play the next one. For a thrown together team, they were able to pick up the music fast. Lucy smiled as she knew that she had to leave - and turn back to herself and enter Laxus's house as she lived with him.
"Alright - you keep the music sheets, and practice, I'll see in two days!" Lucy smiled as she left the room. She left the house - more like she ran out of the house because keeping the magic up with a transformation when she already used it today was enough. Once she was far enough, Lucy used the magic one more time to look like herself as she walked towards Laxus house and opened his front door.
"Laxus~ I'm back!" She yelled
