Chapter 20

I sat in my seat, listening to Gajeel's song. He sat up on stage with a guitar and sang. What was funny is the fact that over half the guild can't stand hearing him up there, yet a few people seem to actually enjoy it.

I, for one, don't really mind. I admit, it's not the best song in the world, but at least he's trying. While I listened, I thought back on the past week.

Things have been mostly calm and quiet around here, aside from the occasional brawl among guild members, of course. I've gone on a few more jobs and hung out with all of my new friends.

I have to say, I'm really liking this place and everyone here. And I've hardly seen anymore Fallen Angel wizards either. Maybe they're not so fond of the idea of dealing with an entire guild to go after one person.

My thoughts were interrupted when I noticed Gajeel had finished his performance. I saw Mirajane grabbing her guitar and heading for the stage. Before I could stand, I felt Bixlow's hand on my shoulder.

"Break a leg, baby," he whispered to me.

I flashed him a quick smile and got up. I made my way up on stage alongside Mira, who sat down, ready to play. I took a deep breath, hearing Mira start the music.

"What if all the chips were down
And you feel you hit the ground
And the truth is to be found
There's a place where we can go
When the time has come we know
It's engraved inside our soul

"Here's to being braver
Here's to better days
We are standing stronger

"Let's go oh oh, ooh oh
Go oh, ooh oh
We are who we wanna be
Running wild and free, yeah

"Let's go oh oh, ooh oh
Go oh, ooh oh
We are more than powerful
It's all possible

"All the horses shake the dirt
Throw the dust back to the earth
And change is coming soon
And the new day's gonna rise
And the sun will kiss the sky
Then the stars shine with the moon

"Here's to being braver
Here's to better days, and
We are standing stronger, yeah

"Let's go oh oh, ooh oh
Go oh, ooh oh
We are who we wanna be
Running wild and free, yeah

"Let's go oh oh, ooh oh
Go oh, ooh oh
We are more than powerful
It's all possible

"Wild and free, yeah
Wild and free, yeah
Wild and free, yeah
Wild and free, yeah

"We are the lionheart
And we are not a afraid
We can be a burning light
And we will never fade
We are the lionheart
And we are not afraid
We can be a burning light
And we will never fade

"Let's go oh oh, ooh oh
Go oh, ooh oh
We are who we wanna be
Running wild and free, yeah

"Let's go oh oh, ooh oh
Go oh, ooh oh
We are who we wanna be
Running wild and free, yeah

"Wild and free, yeah
Wild and free, yeah
Wild and free, yeah
Wild and free, yeah
Wild and free, yeah
Wild and free, yeah"

The guild hall erupted in applause. Mira and I both took a bow before leaving the stage. I sat back down with my team while being showered with praise.

"A talented wizard, a beautiful voice, and a super hot body," Laxus complimented. "You've gotta be about the greatest newcomer we've had in a long time!"

I knew my face had turned red out of embarrassment. "T-Thanks. You guys flatter me."

I noticed Bixlow stare at Laxus momentarily, as if glaring from under his visor. But I was unable to question him when several pictures flashed through my mind.

I see...a place. It looks like Akane Resort, but the buildings are torn apart and the whole beach is completely deserted. Once the images faded, I quickly grabbed Bixlow's arm.

"Bixlow, a vision," I hurriedly explained. "It was Akane Resort. Something bad is going to happen there."

Bixlow seemed to frown at me. "Woah, woah, slow down, Freya. You sure you saw it?"

I nodded, causing him to grin and stick his tongue out. "Well then, you know you're not going anywhere without me!"

"Not without us! Not without us!"

"Don't even think about leaving us out," Evergreen said with a wink.

Freed smiled and nodded. "That's right. We're a team now. We're all in this together."

Laxus grinned and suddenly said, "Good luck out there. I know you four will take care of it."

And so we set out for Akane Beach, home of the Akane Resort. It took about a day and a half to get there, but when we did, I was relieved to see that everything looked to be normal.

"Well, nothing seems to be out of place," Evergreen calmly stated.

"We must've gotten here before the disaster happened," I said with a relieved sigh. "I guess we just have to stick around and wait."

"Aww, that sounds boring!" Bixlow whined.

"Boring! Boring!" his babies repeated.

"We could probably stay at the hotel," Freed chimed in.

With his tongue hanging out of his mouth, Bixlow laughed. "Now that sounds like fun! We could play games down at the casino, get on a few rides, and eat at the restaurant! It'll be great!"

"Great! Great!"

I couldn't help but giggle at his silly behavior. "Alright, might as well have fun while we're here."

The four of us chipped in our jewels, but unfortunately, after setting aside some for food and things, we only had enough for one large room. That means we have to sleep in the same room, girls and guys.

The room was really nice though. We each got our own bed, there was a balcony that overlooked the beach, and we got a selection of nice, fancy clothes to wear while here. It feels like we're being treated like royalty.

Bixlow's pov

Freed and I started skimming through the suits on one of the clothes racks. We both picked out the ones we wanted. I immediately removed my visor and began taking my shirt off.

I grinned upon seeing the way Freya and Evergreen quickly turned and stared at the wall. Freed and I both changed into the dark suits.

Once done, Freed cleared his throat and asked, "How do we look?"

The two girls turned back around and looked us up and down. With my arms crossed and a grin on my face, I waited for a comment from Freya.

"You both look...nice," she said with a small smile.

Evergreen smiled and nodded. "Yes, very handsome. Our turn, Freya."

The two began looking through the clothes when Evergreen suddenly snatched something and yelled, "This is perfect for you!"

She pulled over a large, thin screen before grabbing Freya by the arm and yanking her behind it. Still being able to see their silhouettes, Freya seemed to be struggling against the fairy mage a bit.

"Ow, Evergreen! That hurts!"

My eyes widened and I grinned when I saw Evergreen stripping Freya of her clothes. I found myself staring in awe upon seeing all of Freya's curves.

I felt my face heat up and my jaw dropped while my tongue hung out. I don't think anything could tear my eyes away from that sight right now. I could even see her breasts bounce by the rough treatment she was getting.

Once Evergreen had forced her into something, she pulled the screen out of the way. Freya, she looked gorgeous. She had on a long, sparkly, purple dress with little bits of black on parts. Her whole right leg was visible through a slit in the clothing.

Evergreen seemed to smirk as she presented Freya. "So? What do you guys think?"

"Wow," I muttered.

"You look lovely," I heard Freed say.

Freya averted her gaze and mumbled a "thank you". Evergreen then grabbed a dress and went behind the screen again to change. My eyes never left Freya as she strolled over to a mirror and gazed at her reflection.

She began toying with her long, black hair. She used a hair tie to fix her hair up into a ponytail, which I thought looked really cute on her. She smiled at her reflection and brushed her bangs out of the way.

Evergreen suddenly slid the screen to the side to show herself. She wore a short, green dress that puffed out a bit at the bottom. She quickly fixed her hair in the mirror as well.

She and Freya both looked at each other with satisfactory smiles on their faces. Evergreen then strolled over to us with a hand on her hip and a fan in the other.

"Well, boys, we're ready."

With Freed following Evergreen, I held my arm out as Freya came over. "Come on, baby! We're gonna have loads of fun tonight! Just like old times!"

She smiled and entwined her arm with mine. "Just like old times."

A/N: the song in this chapter is called 'Wild and Free' and is once again sung by Lena Meyer-Landrut. (For some reason I find her songs very fitting for this story)
