Erza was in a local bar, she heard of a Celestial mage and she wanted them to join Fairy Tail. She heard that the mage went to that bar frequently.

Soon when it was just Erza left, the redhead was about to leave when a nicely dressed girl walked in.

Erza saw the gate keys on her waist and smirked, the blonde sat down next to the redhead. Erza turned her head to the blonde, the girl sensing eyes on her turned to Erza.

"Hello, I am Erza Scarlet. I am a requip mage of Fairy Tail, I heard of your celestial magic and wanted to know if you wanted to join our guild?"

"Well, it is a pleasure to meet the Titania in person. My name is Lucy Heartfilia. Yes, I Celestial wizard but I do not intend on joining you ruffians" Lucy smirked, Erza smirked as well.

"Bar keep, we'll need some shots" Erza says, Lucy raised and eyebrow.

The bar tender filled up the shot glasses and Erza took them and sat them in front of both of them, Lucy looked at the glass then Erza.

Erza-
Right here, right now
I put the offer out
I don't want to chase you down
I know you see it
You run with me
And I can cut you free
Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in
So trade that typical for something colorful
And if it's crazy, live a little crazy
You can play it sensible, a king of conventional
Or you can risk it all and see

Don't you wanna get away from the same old part you gotta play
'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride
It'll take you to the other side
'Cause you can do like you do
Or you can do like me
Stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key
Oh, damn! Suddenly you're free to fly
It'll take you to the other side

Lucy-
Okay, my friend, you want to cut me in
Well I hate to tell you, but it just won't happen
So thanks, but no
I think I'm good to go
'Cause I quite enjoy the life you say I'm trapped in
Now I admire you, and that whole show you do
You're onto something, really it's something
But I live among the swells, and we don't pick up peanut shells
I'll have to leave that up to you

Don't you know that I'm okay with this uptown part I get to play
'Cause I got what I need and I don't want to take the ride
I don't need to see the other side
So go and do like you do
I'm good to do like me
Ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key
Oh, damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine
I don't need to see the other side

Erza-
Now is this really how you like to spend your days?
Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays

Lucy-
If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town
Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns

Lucy got up from her spot and started heading towards the door, she grabbed her jacket.

Erza-
But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little
Just let me give you the freedom to dream 
And it'll wake you up and cure your aching
Take your walls and start 'em breaking
Now that's a deal that seems worth taking
But I guess I'll leave that up to you~

The blonde stops and thinks about it for a minute when a small smile appears on her face, she turns around to face Erza. She takes fast strides towards the redhead, she stops right in front of her and smirks.

Lucy-
Well it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly
So what percentage of the show would I be taking?

Erza smirks back and takes Lucy's hand, they start ballroom dancing around the empty bar.

Erza-
Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action
I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen

Lucy dryly chuckles and looks at Erza like she's crazy

Lucy-
I wasn't born this morning, eighteen would be just fine

Erza-
Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime

Lucy-
Fifteen

Erza-
I'd do eight

Lucy-
Twelve

Erza-
Maybe nine

Both-
Ten

They smile and Erza spins Lucy, the two keep dancing

Both-
Don't you wanna get away to a whole new part you're gonna play
'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride
To the other side

They split still holding hands and then quickly pull themselves back in and Erza puts her arm around Lucy's waist

Erza-
So if you do like I do

Lucy-
So if you do like me

Both-
Forget the cage, 'cause we know how to make the key
Oh, damn! Suddenly we're free to fly
We're going to the other side

Erza-
So if you do like I do

Lucy-
So if you do like me

Both-
'Cause if we do we're going to the other side
We're going to the other side

Erza dips Lucy and they look into each others eyes, they were both smiling. Erza pulls Lucy back and holds her close, the two girls search the others eyes and lean in. Their lips collide to create a Strawberry-Vanilla mix, they separate.

"I'd love to join your guild Miss Scarlet"
