Chapter 9 ~ Gone Wrong?

Natsu's POV

As Lucy left the boys and I turned to look at each other.

"Her ideas are really cool." Gray commented leaning against the side of the piano.

"Agreed. Jellal and I have to figure out some S.T.O.M.P type thing." I added, nodding slightly.

"It will give us something new to try." Lokè added.

"Oh yeah, since when did you play violin?" Jellal asked.

"Since grade-school." Loke muttered.

"That's actually cool." I put it.

"Thanks."

I picked up my stuff to leave and the boys and I left. Sighing we entered the gym.

The door squeaked open and Lucy looked up from the bleachers. "Oh. Hi." She greeted us with a small wave, a pencil in her hand.

"Oh. Hi, Luce." I called. I noticed the boys left.

"Luce? Is that a nickname?" She asked tapping her eraser against her chin.

"Yeah," I started with a shrug and shoved my hands into my pockets. "I guess."

"Well. It's cute." She said mindlessly.

Heat rose to my cheeks. She looked at me as I approached her. "Whatcha writing?" I asked peering over her shoulder at the notebook on her lap.

"The music." She responded bluntly.

"Can I see?" I asked smiling. Lucy nodded and handed me the notebook.

"This song is amazing!" I said. "And the Piano should probably be in PP, (pianissimo) so it doesn't drown out the lyrics you'll be singing." I mentioned pointing to Gray's part. "And a decrescendo, here." I said pointing to my STOMP rythm.

"Whoa. You know a lot." Lucy whispered, I chuckled and nodded.

"Oh, and for Loke's part on the violin, try adding a D minor scale. Near the chorus." I muttered pointing out things.

"Sugoi (wow!)! Thank you Natsu!" Lucy whispered.

"No problem Luce." I whispered before heading out of the gym.

"See you tomorrow!" She called.

"Bright and early." I called back.
