After Erza proceeds to bash Lucy's head against her armor a few more times, she finally lets go. Her face turns serious, and she barks, "Natsu! Gray! I need your help on a mission."
Their breath catches in their throats. They begin whispering to each other, "Erza? ... Help? ... Mission? ... Did she finally go crazy? ... Huh? ... How would I know, 'ya idiot? ... Don't say that, that's suicide! ..." Natsu began yelling.
"Hey, I don't wanna go on a mission with this idiot!" he points at Gray, flames quaking above his skin.
"Who're you callin' the idiot, Ashes-For-Brains?" Gray returns, and the room drops several degrees on one side, while the other toasts up more. Erza silences them with a glare. In some ways, Lucy admires Erza's authority. If she could do that...
"So, will you help me?" Erza asks, down to business. The boys glare at each other, but acquiesce, grumpily.
Master Makarov stops by and asks Erza what mission it is. She begins explaining. One word catches Lucy's attention. "Eisenwald..." she hears - hey, wait, isn't that a dark guild? It is, isn't it?
She begins tuning out after that. It really isn't any of her business, and she really doesn't want to be considered nosy. However, a line from Natsu drags her into the fray. "Hey, can Luigi come?"
"I'm LUCY!" she yells in response. Erza ignores that and nods a yes.
"Of course she can," Erza agrees, and suddenly, Lucy's part of the team. All around, people are whispering about Fairy Tail's strongest team, (which, by the way, Lucy doesn't really feel like she can be in) but it's pretty much just Erza, Natsu, and Gray. No one really knows Lucy yet.
Guess she's got to prove herself worthy first.
