Loving The Idiots - Fairy Tail [Nalu, Gruvia, Jerza, Gale, Rowen & More!]

(b) A song for you

Wendy

Gray stood at the center of the stage rather stiffly. Juvia was at his elbow, looking more than happy to be seen with her future boyfriend. It was quite daft for Gray to not notice he did in fact love Juvia back, since there'd always been a rivalry between Lyon and Gray when Juvia was the prize.

The raven haired walked up and down the stage, throwing small flecks of snow he created from his hand. As the intro began, the whole stage seemed to be full of ice. I looked at the audience for their response—they were shivering at the cold. "The snow glows white on the mountain tonight," Gray spoke rather than sang, his voice gruff. He proceeded to throw bigger lumps of ice down onto the floor, his blue Elsa dress gliding around and shimmering.

"Not a footprint to be seen," he said nonchalantly. Behind him the orchestra were deciding whether to stop the whole thing or continue this bad performance. "A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I'm the Queen." Stifling a giggle at his attempts, I turned back to Romeo beside me.

Everyone else lined up behind us, getting ready to be on stage. Unfortunately we were next, and from our situation it looked like the whole stage wouldn't be defrosted on time. "Romeo, let's do well!" Romeo nodded in response, relaxing his fingers that were fumbling around his costume. I sighed at my own—a light blue suit which revealed my stomach since I was Jasmine.

The horrible voice of Gray snapped me out of my thoughts. "Let it go, let it go!" He looked back at Juvia who blushed at his appearance. Gasping, I realised why. He'd stripped from his Elsa costume, and now he was naked. I felt warm hands shield my eyes, as well as many other gasps in the audience.

Mira's voice stopped the music, "Alright, that's enough... Next we have Rowen singing Arabian Nights from Aladdin!"

Gray and Juvia were chucked off stage, as well as the rest of the sporadic applause. My hand found Romeo's, who pulled me to the stage since I was reluctant to do so myself. Carla wasn't with me this time; she was cheering for us back stage. Our hands were still intertwined when we both began singing. Although our voices were quiet, even with the help of the microphone, I guess it wasn't as dreadful as Gruvia's.

"Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place, Where the caravan camels roam, Where they cut off your ear, If they don't like your face, It's barbaric, but hey, it's home," both Romeo and I sang, his voice a fifth lower than mine for harmony. The lyrics were slightly disturbing, but singing with Romeo made it ease a bit.

"When the wind's from the east, And the sun's from the west, And the sand in the glass is right, Come on down, Stop on by, Hop a carpet and fly, To another Arabian night." Our voice drained out in the end, covered by the whistles, claps and shouts in the audience. As Romeo bowed, I curtsied. However my fingers had no where to hold since I was not wearing a dress, so it looked quite awkward.

"Our second last performance is from Bixanna, singing Fly to your heart from Tinkerbell!"

My grip tightened on Romeo when I watched Mavis and Zeref mark our song. Mavis seemed happy about it, but the face of Zeref didn't change. "That was so cute!" Lucy coed, ruffling Romeo's hair and then hugging me. I wrapped my arms around her neck in response. Natsu stayed a step behind her, in deep conversation with Happy and Romeo.

Levy and Gajeel came towards us, but Levy looked frightened on the way. "What's wrong, Levy?" I asked, looking back and fro from the blue haired and Gajeel. Levy didn't say anything, but pointed to Lisanna who was being tied to a rope.

"It's probably one of Bickslow's crazy plans," Gajeel commented, looking as if about to start laughing hysterically. I widened my eyes as I watched Lisanna take to the air in her tinker bell costume, and Bickslow watching her from underneath.

"Don't look you pervert!" Lisanna cried, trying to go somewhere else, away from Bickslow. Gajeel snorted at this, and Levy hit him with her hand.

"Watch all the flowers dance with the wind," Lisanna sang in a shaky voice, since it was hard to keep control whilst she was up in the air. "Listen to snowflakes whisper your name."

"Feel all the wonder lifting your dreams," Bickslow continued, using magic to call out his 'babies', who danced behind him. "You can fly!" They then both exclaimed. Nobody sang a word after that, the orchestra playing notes which seemed plain without voices.

Lisanna sighed when everyone else realised they actually finished after one verse. "Well done!" I said weakly and half-heartedly. That performance was weird, to say the least. Bickslow laughed and patted me on the back, hurrying off to get changed. On the other hand, Lisanna stayed behind.

"He'd been fussing over how I should 'fly' for the whole day so we didn't have time to even read the lyrics," she complained, looking over at Lucy and Levy. They were both laughing, and surprisingly Lisanna smiled at both of them.

"It was still good, though," Lucy reassured, whilst Levy nodded in agreement. "Now it's time for Jellal and Erza."

We all looked back on stage, Jellal and Erza already in their beginning positions. To me, it looked as if the beginning of a fight.

"And lastly, team Jerza singing... wait—a battle soundtrack from Mulan? What is this?!" Mira exclaimed, glancing over to them worriedly. But it was too late for her to interfere since the music had already started. Erza and Jellal leapt at each other and began to fight.

The music intensified, and the movements from Jellal and Erza got more rapid. "Erm," I murmured, "this isn't singing."

"Woah!! I'm gonna beat them both!" Natsu shouted, jumping into motion as he dived into the stage. Romeo seemed ready to do so too, but I stopped him by the sleeve and raised an eyebrow.

"W-wait!" Lucy and Levy cried as Gajeel entered into the stage arena. The audience edged backwards, the front row looking extremely worried.

Mira and Laxus stood up from their seats. "A-and that's the end! Hope you enjoyed!" Everyone looked more than happy to escape, especially from the burst of lightning Laxus emitted soon after.
