Hello, peoples! I'm back! Shortish chapter because I didn't want to keep you waiting. Random thought that's come from spelling mistakes, the first two letters of Erza's name is 'e' and 'r'. Capitalize them and put them together, you get ER. What does that stand for? Emergency room, which is where she puts you. Just something I keep noticing.

"Lucy," Natsu complained, poking her in the face. She groaned and pulled her pillow over her head. "Come on… I got the perfect job! Well, Gray says it's the perfect job. But they're waiting for us at the station."

"WHAT?!" Lucy shrieked, leaping out of bed. One of the few things they had in common was a strong fear of Erza. "Why did you wake me up sooner?!"

"Because you kick hard."

"Baka!" She kicked him again.

"You're so mean," he whined, rubbing his head. In a few minutes, she had eaten and was frantically trying to decide what to wear. Natsu finally got fed up and threatened to burn her wardrobe if she didn't make up her mind. She settled on a blue shirt and white skirt. Because Lucy took so long, they almost missed the train, to Natsu's temporary joy.

"Why were you late?" Erza asked when they joined them.

"Lucy took forever to get dressed," Happy said through a mouthful of fish. "She kept running around in her bra and underwear. She didn't even mind that Natsu and I were there." Lucy turned crimson. The fear of Erza's wrath had taken over her mind to the point that she didn't really register that Natsu was in her room.

"Ow! What was that for?"

"That was for watching me dress!"

"Natsu! How dare you do something so indecent!"

"Perv."

"What did you say, Stripper!"

"Natsu! Answer me!"

"I'm sorry! Please don't - urgh…" The train started moving.

"Hmph. The train ride will be punishment enough, I deem."

"Aye…"

"So," Lucy said. "What's the job?" Gray got an evil look on his face.

"There's someone who wants someone to race against because no one else gives her a challenge. I figured that with Erza's road rage - er, skills, we would have this thing in the bag." Lucy looked at the job flyer. The reward was high. Even split between the four of them, she would have enough to pay her rent for three months.

Natsu felt sick just looking at all of the cars. Erza was asking *cough* demanding *cough* for directions to the client, who went by Gyokuryū.

"You'll find her over that way," one of the drivers, a provocatively dressed woman, said. "She's kind of hard to miss."

"Natsu, you and Lucy see what you can do to get us a car," Erza ordered. Natsu groaned. "Gray and I shall talk to the client." The woman was right. The large crowd of fanboys signified her presence. They pushed through until they saw a woman lying on the hood of her magic-mobile. Her long green hair was held back in a ponytail as she laughed, teasing some guys. "Are you Gyokuryū?" Erza asked the woman. She sat up.

"And what if I am?" she drawled, green eyes flashing at them. "I only race against the best, you know."

"That is what I am here for," Erza said. "We are the wizards responding to your request." Gyokuryū looked at them, a bit of seriousness entering her eyes.

"You asked for wizards?" one of the guys said. "That's so cool!" She sighed.

"You think everything I do is cool. But whatever. Lady, how do I know you will actually give me a challenge?" Erza reequipped into a racing outfit; gold with red stripes and the guild mark in red on her heart. A helmet appeared in her hand.

"How do I know that you will be a challenge for me?" Erza said. Gyokuryū's eyes narrowed.

"I'll race you if you can beat… say… my friend Haruwana here." One of the guys looked up, surprised.

"M-Me?" he stammered, obviously flustered by being spoken to by his idol.

"Did I stutter?" Then she sighed. "We've got a series of races this evening. You two will be in the first one."

"Yes, ma'am!" Haruwana yelped.

"I found a car," Lucy grinned later. "The person said that she wanted Gyokuryū taken down a few notches, so we didn't have to rent like others do." Erza nodded.

"What's with Natsu?" Gray asked. The Dragon Slayer was grinning like an idiot.

"Oh, the person who gave us the car felt sorry for him and gave him some motion sickness patches," Lucy explained. Gray sulked. This wasn't going the way he planned. Natsu sniffed. A strange look crossed his face for a moment. Impossible…. I must be imagining it.

Gyokuryū watched the first race with sharp eyes. Her race was the last one of the day. She would race against all of the winners from previous races. I wonder if the redhead and her boyfriend will make it. It would certainly be interesting to race wizards. She shook her head. It wouldn't do to dwell on. Gyokuryū couldn't help but smirk. She hadn't told the redhead something. In order to enter the final race, one would have to put something in the pot. If you won, you got to keep what you had, as well as what the loser had. Each race was one-on-one, ending with a match between the two best racers. She would win, of course. She always did.

Good luck, Titania.

Ooh. Am I the only one who can't wait for this? Kudos to the FNaF fans who understand Haruwana's name. Hint: cut it in half and run it through google translate. Hehe. FNaF 3 reference.
