"Hey, Lucy!"

She turned around in confusion, only to see Erza, Juvia, Levy, and Lisanna running to her. They crashed into the blonde, surrounding her with hugs. "We heard the news yesterday from Juvia and Wendy, but didn't see you yesterday," Levy said happily.

"How would you feel about singing with us again, for our band audition?" Lisanna asked.

Lucy's eyes widened. "You mean the song we've been practicing for months before? Is it ready?"

Erza nodded. "You're voice is the best one that fits the song. We need you, Lucy."

The blonde pressed her lips together in a thin line, seeing Juvia giving her the puppy-dog eyes. Lucy sighed. "Sure, why not?"

The others cheered, until Juvia suddenly gasped. "Oh shoot."

Everyone looked at her curiously.

"I forgot I have my audition with Gray today! I'll see you guys later," She waved to the girls before running off towards the auditorium.

"That reminds me, I should go rehearse my song with Jellal one more time before our audition," Erza murmured. She looked up at the others. "I'll see you guys at the music room during Lunch, correct?"

Lisanna nodded. "See you later, Erza. Good luck at your audition."

She hurried down the hallway in the opposite direction of the auditorium, searching for Jellal.

"So what do you guys want to do? We could go watch Juvia and Gray's audition," Levy said.

Lucy nodded. "That sounds good..." She frowned a little, looking around for a particular pink haired boy. She turned back to Levy and Lisanna. "You two go on ahead. I need to look for Natsu. I haven't seen him yet."

"Last I saw him was in one of the music rooms," The ivory haired girl said. "If you want we can help you look for him."

Lucy shook her head. "That's okay. I think I know which music room he's in." She waved to the two before heading to where she thought Natsu was. As soon as she opened the music room door, her eyes landed on his all too familiar pink hair.

He head looked up from a video he was looking at on his phone. He smiled slightly. "Hey, Luce."

She returned his smile, walking over to him and sliding next to him onto the piano bench, kissing him on the cheek. "Hey."

He turned his attention back to the video on his phone. Lucy glanced at his phone and realized it was the video she's sent him awhile back. She frowned. "Natsu, what's wrong?"

"And here I was hoping it wasn't obvious," He chuckled sarcastically, keeping his head down, with his hair shadowing his eyes.

Lucy placed a hand on his back, worry piercing in her eyes. Natsu sighed quietly. "It's my dad's birthday today."

"Oh..."
