Once Lucy, Happy, and Natsu calmed their antics the five wizards returned to the guild hall. Erza and Natsu went in to grab a request.
In no time at all, the five friends were on their way to fulfill their new job.
"Gray, Erza, may I ask you something?" Lucy inquired. They were on the train and Natsu was passed out. When Erza punched him earlier the sight had seemed familiar to Lucy, but she wasn't going to ask about that. There was another, more pressing, question on her mind.
"Go right ahead." the armored wizard replied from her seat.
"How did I get the keys for Virgo, Sagittarius, and Leo?" The question had plagued her since she was in her room and had learned that she possessed them.
"Virgo's contract with Everlue ended when he was sent to jail. She wanted her next contract to be with you, so Happy held onto her key and gave it to you." Gray answered.
"Aye," added the blue cat.
"Your spirit friend helped us out of a trap." Erza paused in thought. "I guess you could say Virgo aided us with our first request as a team." She'd never thought of the Lullaby incident being their first team outing, but in a sense it was.
Gray scratched his neck. "It wasn't really a request. You just happened to overhear some dark guild wizards talking and pursued after them."
Lucy was silent as she tried to comprehend everything her friends(?) were telling her. She fought against dark wizards and wasn't useless in battle?
I need to get my memories back!
"How long is she going to do that?" Gray whispered.
Lucy was banging her head against the window. Erza, Gray, and Happy had just informed her about Galuna Island, Deliora, and how Sagittarius helped during Phantom Lord. Which of course made her ask why Phantom Lord attacked in the first place.
Maybe they shouldn't have let Happy tell her why...
"Lucy, none of us blamed you then and we still don't now." Erza spoke up once the sight of Lucy's head making contact with the glass became too much.
Lucy stopped her self-harm. As she sunk further into her seat, the blonde wizard told her companions, "Please forget about telling me how I got Leo. I don't think I can handle any more bombshells at the moment."
The rest of the train ride was silent.
"Are we off the train?"
"Aye."
"We've been off the train for five minutes, Hot Head."
"You want to take me on Ice Pervert?"
"That insult sucked."
Erza groaned. "Natsu, Gray, cease your meaningless fight. We have a job to do."
"We haven't even thrown punches yet!" Natsu whined.
Lucy rubbed her forehead. "Just listen to her."
The five walked out of the train station and headed to a widow's home in need of some serious cleaning.
"Why'd you choose this request?" Gray questioned as he read the help wanted paper.
"I thought it'd be a nice break." Erza replied.
"Guess we can't save the world everyday." Natsu commented.
"Aye."
"We've saved the world?" Lucy couldn't believe that she was ever in such a dire situation.
Natsu stopped walking. "Maybe not the world, but we saved the guild masters."
"And the citizens of Magnolia." Happy grinned.
"Twice." Gray said as he removed his shirt.
She knew about Phantom Lord (thanks to Happy), but twice? When did they save Magnolia a second time?
Lucy sweat-dropped at the sight beside her. "Gray, why are you stripping?"
"Hurry up! We have no time to dilly-dally!" Erza called from several feet ahead of the other four.
"Coming!"
