As she sighed, Erza was very bored. For a while now, she had been sitting and thinking. Until, an interesting idea came in mind...
" Natsu!" A blonde haired girl cried out. She was running.
" Wha-Huh?" Natsu sat upright. The girl stopped in front of him, catching her breath. She regained her posture an held out a flyer.
" I found the perfect job to go on! One-Million each!" She grinned." Enough to pay my rent for almost three months!"
" It sounds perfect! Im fired up now!" Natsu roared
" Yeah!" Lucy's smile widened. ' He's always so energetic! And funny.' She thought.
" Hehe, so all we have to do is catch some bandits." Natsu whiper-shouted. " Im fired up now!"
" Shush! We need to stay quiet!" Lucy scolded. Natsu looked down.
" Soorryyy..." He muttered. Then Happy popped out.
" Aye sir!" He cried out.
" SHHH!" Lucy and Natsu said together. Happy looked sheepish.
" Sorry!" He looked through the bushes. " Hey! Look! There they are." Natsu smiled and started crawling towards the bandits. Lucy took out her whip and followed close behind. Natsu jumped on them.
" Gotcha- WHA?!" He fell on his face looking confused as they disappeared into thin air.
" Natsu, I think it's clones of the bandits." Lucy explained." Can you sniff them out? They can't be far if they can use cloning magic."
" What am I, a dog?! Plus, yes, I could sniff them out if I hadn't squished my FLPPIN' nose!" He hissed, frustrated.
" At least try, Natsu!" Lucy encouraged. " Don't you want that million jewel, and you can buy all the food you want."
" Oh yeah! Uh, my nose is working again so I can probably sniff them out..." Natsu laughed uncertailny. Lucy rolled her eyes.
' I bet his nose worked the whole time...' She thought. Natsu sniffed the air and scrunched up his nose, disgusted.
" Uck, smells like BO and stinky old woman." He said holding his nose. Then Happy smiled.
" Natsu, are you sure your not smelling Lucy?" He said matter-of-factly.
" Oh yeah! I think it is her, actually!" Natsu said happily. Lucy glared angrily.
" Don't diss me in front of myself!" She hissed angrily. " Why are you always insulting me, you dumb cat?!"
" Cause I-" Suddenly, the ground rumbled like a small earthquake. Happy wobbled." Hey, I think that was Lucy's stomach, Natsu!" He exclaimed.
" Shut up you stupid cat!" Lucy kicked her far into the trees.
" Your so mean, Lucy!" Happy cried out, his voice fading. Lucy smiled proudly.
" Thats really strange, it's like their underground. HEY! I think their underground, Lucy!" Natsu exclaimed.
" Great job Natsu! Now, whats the plan to get them when their down there in the ground? Wait don't tell me yo-" Lucy got cut off by Natsu.
" Fire Dragon Roar!" He yelled, releasing a fire through his mouth. The ground had a large hole, revealing the bandits. They were burned to a crisp. Not suprising.
" Why does all your plans inolve destroying things...?" Lucy groaned. She had been caught in the attack.
" Oops, sorry, Luce! But do you think you could tie em' up now?" he asked rather sheepishly.
" Well yeah, obviously, that's why I'm here right?" Lucy smiled and tied them up.
" Let's go to the job client and get our reward!" Natsu said happily.
At Erza's house, the plan was forming in her head. " Hmm." She chuckled. This plan, was her best yet. She then called a ' friend.' " Yes? This is Erza. No..." She frowned and rolled her eyes. " I won't- Ugh, no. Uh, yeah? Be quiet!" her conversation continued like this. " LISTEN! I have a favor to ask you..." She grinned in the darkness of the room.
