★ Chapter 4 | Fresh Star ★

After the day of the mall show, two days goes by and Lucy, Erza and Juvia go well with each other. Makarov gave those three days to decide for them whether they wanted to be together as a group. Now, these three days are over. Right now, Erza, Juvia and Lucy already had decided.

“So… Are you ready now?” Erza asked.

Lucy and Juvia nodded. “Yup.”

They knocked on the door and opened it. They entered Makarov’s office, it was displayed with his pictures when he was still young and famous as an actor and as a dancer, his office also had some certificates and trophies on a case where he kept it. He was wearing a violet blouse, black pants and had a brown cape around him.

“Master.” Erza said.

He was reading a newspaper; he put it down first and faced us. “I see. You must have decided about it now.”

“Uhhmm but first, why are you wearing a cape?” Juvia asked.

He smirked, stood on the table and hid his mouth with his cape. “I am Dracula!” He said revealing his mouth that has fangs. “I thirst for your blood! Offer it to me.” He licked his lips and the girls clapped. Makarov bowed and went back to his sit.

“Amazing!” Juvia said.

He coughed. “So what’s your decision?”

The three of them looked at each other in agreement. “Our decision is…”

“Yes, we agree to form an idol group.” They said in unison.

Makarov cannot explain his happiness.  He plainly nodded his head and grinned. “So before you started each other as a group let’s have a training for one week. And it begins now.” He snapped his fingers and the doors opened and three men in black carried the three women.

“Kyaaaa~ Master!” Lucy whimpered.

“Why it has to be like this?” Erza complained.

“Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!” Juvia cheered childishly. “This is fun!”

“Now don’t worry girls!”  Makarov said grinning while the men already got out of his office.

“Masssssttterrr!” Erza and Lucy whimpered before the doors closed.

Makarov laughed and then gets his phone calling someone. “They are heading there.”

The woman smirked. “Good. I’m excited to see them, especially Erza.”

The girls arrived at their destination. The three black in suit guys brought them into a reception hall, they let them stand up and they leave leaving them sweat dropping.

“Those guys are weird…” Lucy said. Erza and Juvia nodded.

They looked at where they are. The place looked very modern; it has a white couch, glass table, flat wide screen television, and a reception desk where the receptionist is. They awed and the receptionist called their attention.

“Yeeehaw!” A green haired woman wearing black tube with a brown vest, red hat, brown skirt and a black boots said as the three of them go to her. “Welcome to the Fresh Star Performance Arts! You may be the ones that my boss is looking for.”

“Uhmmm… I think so.” Erza said, not assured.

The woman winked. “Follow me!” She started walking and the three girls looked at each other and then shrugged, and decided to follow her. “Oh that reminds me! My name is Bisca Mulan Connell.” Bisca said while her head turned to look at them, still walking.

“I’m Juvia, together with Lucy and Erza. And can you tell us why we were brought here Bisca-san?” Juvia asked.

Bisca smiled. “Let my boss explain to ya all!” And they went inside to an elevator and Bisca leads them to the 3rd floor as she explains what the rooms are for when they passed by. “That’s the conference room.” She said as she pointed to a room. Erza caught something by her own eyes as she passed by a familiar painting. Wait… That painting looks familiar. I think someone showed it to me before.

“Bisca who is your boss anyway?” Erza asked and Bisca kept quiet.

“And that’s where my boss’ office is. I’ll take my leave now, hope you enjoyed the little tour! I’ll be in the reception area if you need my help. Just knock on the door and be yourselves!” She bowed and they bowed back.

The three of them looked at each other at uneasiness.

“So who wants to knock and open the door?” Lucy asked and Juvia puts her ear in the door for her to listen. “Juvia what are you doing?”

“Shhh. Someone’s talking.” She replied.

“Juvia. Let’s get going now.” Erza scolded her but Lucy decided to join with Juvia. Sheesh why did I end up with them? Erza rolled her eyes and decided to join them as well. But they’re fun to be with. She thought as a smile appeared on her face.

“Yes okay dear, I’m busy now, we’ll meet up at 6 o’clock. “ A woman’s voice said that they have heard while eavesdropping. Erza’s eyes widened. It’s her! I can’t believe it!

♫  ♪  ~ ♫  ♪ ~  ♫ ♪ ~ Inside the room…

She ended their call and the woman knew that there was someone outside her office. She walked to the door and opened it. Lucy, Erza and Juvia didn’t know that the woman was already walking to the door, so they fall to the ground as the woman opened the door. The woman laughed and they felt embarrassed.

“Ouch…” They whimpered.

“I’ve been expecting you guests.” Lucy, Juvia and Erza as shocked to hear her voice.

“Oh my gosh!” Lucy’s and Juvia’s eyes sparkled and they hugged each other. “It’s the famous Mirajane Strauss!”

Erza was the first one to stand up to face the woman in front of her. “You! I haven’t seen you in years...” Erza’s eyes started to tear up. Juvia and Lucy looked at each other and they were confused seeing Erza going to cry. “Where have you been… Mira?” Erza started to cry and started to wipe her tears. “Uhhh stupid me…”

Mirajane gave a sad smile and hugged Erza. “You’ve changed Erza… I’m sorry if I wasn’t able to be with you when you needed me. I’m sorry…” Erza even cried even more.

 ♫  ♪  ~ ♫  ♪ ~  ♫ ♪ ~

After minutes, the four of them faced each other to discuss.

“You see, Master Makarov told me that you three will be having one week training with me before your own debut as a group. So tell me, have you decided your own name of the group?”

Lucy shook her head. “Not yet.”

“Oh I see.” Mirajane said.

“Uhmmm Mira-san, why did you quit the media industry?” Juvia asked.

Mirajane sighed sadly and looked at Erza. “I have to… I’m going to be married next year.”

“Ehhh? Married?” Lucy asked in surprised.

“To whom?” Juvia asked.

“Don’t tell me…” Erza’s eyes widened.

Mirajane nodded and smiled. “To Laxus of course.”

“Ehhh? Master’s grandson?” Juvia asked.

“That actor!” Lucy seconded.

“You never told me that you like him.” Erza said. “But I knew it before by your own actions.”

Mira giggled. “Ohh I was that obvious?” She clapped her hands. “The day is still young and fresh! And you’re here in Fresh Star Performance Arts, FSPA for short. So let’s start training!”

“Hai!”

♫  ♪  ~ ♫  ♪ ~  ♫ ♪ ~ After hours of training…

“Come back again tomorrow! And the next six days!” Mirajane said cheerfully while waving to Lucy, Erza and Juvia while they were waving back at her and waiting for their cars to come at where they are.

“Wow! Mira-san wasn’t that bad!” Lucy said.

“Yeah, she’s good in training us.” Juvia said.

“But you never what she was in the old days…” Erza chuckled. And then saw Gray walking on the other side of the street. She gasped quietly and Gray saw her too. Their eyes met but Gray looked down in shame and began to run. Erza also looked down in shame.

I can’t be like this… I need to move on! I’ll do it whatever it takes!

 ♫  ♪  ~ ♫  ♪ ~  ♫ ♪ ~

Gray arrived at his company where the president is going to meet him. “Mr. Zeref, I’m here.”

“Gray Fullbuster, good. Now where are the others?”

Two boys also entered. “Mr. Zeref we’re all here.” A man said with a blue hair and he was with a pink haired person.

The three persons faced him and Zeref smirked. “From now on, you will be together as a boy group.”

“Eh?! Boy group?!” They said in unison.

“Alright I’m all pumped up!” The pink haired guy said.

“But I also have one condition.” Zeref said. “We need to beat Makarov Dreyar’s company.” They were shocked and bowed their heads. “What? You won’t follow my orders?” Zeref was mad. “I am the one that you should believe right now, not him. After all, he betrayed you all. And I was there to open up with you all. You should be grateful for that.”

“Yes Mr. Zeref. What should we do?”

“Simple. Break them.” He smirked evilly making Gray gulped.
