"Hurry up!" Gray yelled, motioning for Natsu and Lucy to come out. The day came for when it was finally time for Fairy Tail to perform at Crocus. Natsu came out, adjusting his trademark scarf, while coughing.

"You okay?" Gray walked over to Natsu, pounding his back while Natsu went into a fit of coughing.

"I'm fine," Natsu shoved Gray's arm off his shoulder. Gray stumbled back, as he furrowed his eyebrows. "Other than that, where's Loui?"

Sting was loading the instruments inside the trunk of the Fairy Tail van. (The van when Natsu rekt Lisanna. XD) He fit his set of favourite drumsticks inside the trunk, and lowered the trunk a bit as he turned around and cocked his head downwards.

"Loui?" Sting said, positioning a hand over his eyes. Gray looked inside the dormitory.

"He might be hyperventilating in there," Gray said. "I'll go check it out." Gray walked towards the stairs of the building, as he saw a shadow in front of his shoes.

"Sorry, sorry!" Lucy ran out as she panted, putting her hands on her knees with her cheeks a bright pink. "Something leaked!"

"We'll go take a look at it later. Just get in the van, we're already running a bit late," Natsu said. (For those of you who haven't remembered, Natsu has motion sickness in the anime. In this fanfiction, Natsu does not have motion sickness.)

Lucy bowed her head repeatedly in panic. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorr-" Natsu clapped his hand over her lips and carried her to the van. Lucy stopped instantly. Natsu leaned into her ear. "Don't make trouble at the concert, or you're dead!" Natsu said. He grabbed her ear and yanked it playfully. Natsu laughed and stuffed his hands into his pockets, still laughing as he opened the van door and closed it behind him.

Lucy grabbed her red ear as she looked away and blushed, as she shook her head and got into the van. Lucy was extremely nervous for this Crocus concert.

"Hurry up!" Lisanna snapped, while her makeup artist hurriedly applied her blue eyeshadow. "I haven't got all day, you know. I was forced to be the emcee of this Crocus concert. I also need to do a performance with crappy backup dancers! Do you know how critical this is? Did you put on my foundation right? It still looks uneven!"

"I'm sorry, we don't have the time!" The poor woman quickly closed the lid and began working on Lisanna's eyebrows.

"No time? I have to be top notch. I need to be ravishing if I'm going to remain the Pixie of Crocus!" Lisanna shouted. The woman quickly finished, presenting her face into the mirror. Lisanna looked from side to side, admiring her luscious features. "Not bad. You still did horrible, but I'll live with it," Lisanna said, standing up.

"Where's my emcee uniform?" Lisanna said, looking through the clothing.

"We have two copies of them, just in case," The stylist quickly said, moving from the door to the rack. "Hurry!"

"Good! Let's make our way then!" Lisanna said.

Lucy finished the last few notes on her keyboard, as Makarov clapped quickly. "Great! Good!" Makarov said.

Natsu adjusted his microphone, as he coughed again. Erza walked towards him, and put a hand on his shoulder. "Listen, if you're not feeling well, tell u-"

Natsu gripped her wrist tightly, and slowly removed her hand. "Listen, you know this concert won't go well without me as the lead vocalist," Natsu crackled.

He's in a bad mood.. Lucy thought to herself. She rested her fingers on the keyboard.

"The concert's about to start," Erza said, motioning to the doorway. "Well, not right away. You still have fifteen minutes to set up onstage. Shine bright, Fairy Tail!" Erza smiled before disappearing out the door.

Lucy exhaled nervously. Gray noticed this, and put a reassuring hand on her shoulder and squeezed it.

"It's alright. Don't be nervous," Gray smiled. Lucy smiled back, as Natsu coughed loudly. Sting put down his drumsticks.

"Hey man, are you seriously alright?" Sting said, glancing at Natsu.

"I'm fine, for the millionth time," Natsu said, as he adjusted his scarf.

"Let's go, we have to set up," Gray said. The band members walked through the door and Makarov followed behind.

People filed in one by one, as the stadium quickly filled up with people. The crowd was filled with excited chatter, as this was "Loui's" first performance.

"Don't you think Loui looks a little girly?" One intense fan said to her friend.

"Well, that's cute! And that's what's in style nowadays!" The friend gushed. They both started fangirling.

The stadium darkened, and Lisanna talked into the microphone, announcing the band Fairy Tail's performances.

The stage revealed Natsu, clutching his microphone, Gray, holding his guitar and positioned in front of his mic, Lucy looking purple from nervousness positioned in front of her keyboard and mic, and Sting pumping his drumsticks with his face mic. Everyone roared from the crowd, as it was mostly chatter about "Loui", which was actually Lucy.

"And now, the first song is, Rock City Boy!" Lisanna said, exiting the stage. Lucy gulped and the music started, as Lucy pressed the first note on her keyboard, as Natsu opened his mouth to vocalize.

It went smoothly. Natsu didn't go into his usual coughing fit, and sang beautifully. Lucy pressed the right notes on her keyboard, and harmonized quite well. Her voice wasn't as girly as it seemed to be. Gray rapped quite well, and Sting was on par with his drumming and his harmonizing with Lucy and Natsu.

Each song was performed exquisitely. Natsu didn't cough once, and Lucy felt like herself on stage.

"That went great!" One of Lisanna's backup dancers said, cheering. Lisanna smiled at her.

"You did great," Lisanna said. "Even with your short, fat legs."

Lisanna turned around and clicked her heels down the hall, as her backup dancer stopped, and looked at her legs.

"I wonder if I can find Natsu Dragneel and have a little discussion with him..?" Lisanna pondered.

Lucy sat on the balcony, as Gray and Sting were cleaning up the stage with Erza. She sighed, and looked outward towards the darkness. "That was my first performance," Lucy said. "It went okay, but, I need to hurry up and find my mother."

Lucy had a mother named Layla. She had forgotten about Layla, but she remembered her last week because of the situation with Loui. I was injured emotionally. By her death.

Lucy had gotten celestial healing from her head nuns, and she thought everything would be fine after that. But, seeing Loui, everything ran into her mind again.

Layla was in a bad condition, physically, and emotionally. Her health was deteriorating everyday, and there was no cure.

Jude, her father, loved Layla dearly. But he ran off with another woman, leaving Layla with her twins, Loui and Lucy, and Layla tried to take care of her daughter and son the best she could.

Layla made ends meet. Loui wanted to become a singer, and he trained his voice. You see, the whole Heartfilia family was gifted with the talent of singing. Lucy, Layla, Jude, and Loui.

Loui became a singer to try and meet up with Jude, and talk some sense into him.

Lucy on the other hand, believed Jude was not her father. She wanted nothing more to do with him.

Layla then went missing, when the twins were eighteen. Loui was already a singer, and got many opportunities, but he turned all of them down. He joined Fairy Tail for a mysterious reason, though. Too bad he couldn't fulfill his duty. Layla was also a singer, who sang the songs Jude wrote.

Everything was perfect, until Jude decided to leave Layla when things got tough.

Lucy sighed. She wanted to find her mother. Then the thought occurred to her.

I can find my mother through Fairy Tail.

I can.

This is the most popular boy band, is it not?

Maybe my mother will come up.

Lucy stood upright. Fairy Tail was how she was going to find her mother, for sure.

That means I can't leave Fairy Tail. One month won't be enough. I need to stay here until I find her.

I'm sorry, Loui. I'm using you to find our mother.

You must understand, don't you?

Lucy looked downwards, at her feet. She located a nearby bench and sat down.

Lucy's eyesight then blurred, as she saw a can of Coke in front of her eyes.

"Luigi," Natsu said. Lucy looked up at him and took the Coke.

"I will drink this well," Lucy said. She smiled at him.

Natsu scratched his ear bashfully. "Listen, when I was an asshole to you," Natsu looked down at Lucy and smiled crookedly. "I'm sorry for that. You're pretty sturdy."

Natsu slid next to Lucy on the bench.

Lucy felt her face heat up. "G-good job, Natsu," Lucy stuttered.

"Of course, as well as you, Luigi!" Natsu smiled.

Lucy looked at him. Wasn't he being unnaturally friendly today?

Natsu grinned. "But if you misbehave, you're dead," Natsu said, holding up a fist.

Lucy gulped. "T-thanks, I'll go help Gray with the stage," she said.

"I'll sit out here then," Natsu said.

Lucy froze, and looked at Natsu. Natsu was recognized all over the country. Maybe he could help Lucy find her mother?

Lucy quickly sat back in the bench. Natsu quirked an eyebrow.

"Listen, I know all of this is heavy, and I'm suddenly dumping this on you," Lucy said. "But I need help. My mother is missing, and I want to find her."

Natsu turned towards her. "How am I supposed to help then?" Natsu questioned Lucy.

"I-I'm really desperate," Lucy stuttered. "I really want to find her!"

Natsu turned and looked upwards. "Tell me more about it."

Lucy told Natsu the story about how Jude left Layla, and so on. Natsu listened to her every word, and nodded slowly at each point.

"I need to find her," Lucy closed her hands into fists, and her knuckles turned white. Tears slipped down her cheeks onto her pants.

"You cry easily for a man," Natsu said. Lucy looked at him, and realized Natsu thought Lucy was Loui, a man.

Lucy quickly wiped her eyes. "I need to find her."

Natsu ruffled Lucy's hair on the head, as Lucy's eyes widened.

"Okay. But if you cause trouble for this band's reputation, you're dead," Natsu said, holding a fist and slowly touching Lucy's cheek.

Lucy nodded and smiled at him gratefully.

Natsu stood up, and squeezed his can. Lucy looked up at him.

"We can't begin your search right away. We'll need time," Natsu said, looking back at Lucy.

Lucy's eyes filled with tears, and she ran up to Natsu and hugged him tightly.

Natsu's eyes widened, and he held his arms upward, surprised.

"Thank you, Natsu," Lucy said, sobbing. Natsu still held his arms up, and looked around worriedly.

"Hey, hey," Natsu tried pushing Lucy off of him, but Lucy held him tightly. "This is a public place, on the roof, and we're famous band people," Natsu said, still tugging at Lucy. "It's gonna be trouble if we get caught. Get off me!"

Lucy didn't falter. She was being shaken and tugged at, but she persisted. "Take care of me, then, Natsu!" Lucy said between joyful tears.

Natsu sighed and stopped tugging at Lucy, but ruffled her head instead.

"Listen, I'm usually cold and not nice at all, but you're an exception," Natsu said, dropping his arms at his sides. "If you do anything to lose my trust, then you're out of this band for good. Today was an exception, alright?"

Lucy nodded.

I'm so sorry for not updating, guys, but I just don't have the energy to write. I will finish this series though, so stay with me! I'm sorry if there's any plot holes in anything I wrote, because I have a bad memory.
