Author's Note: Okay, kids, who wants to see Gajeel get tazed? Er... I mean, who wants to see Ed and Alphonse Elric?

I thought so.

Disclaimer: I don't own any animes used or refrenced.

The next day, we begin to train to see who will stay in the faction and who will have to become a Homestuck fan.

"Today, you will be learning how to shoot a gun," Natsu explains as we board the shooting range ship. "Why? Because your final initiaion will consist of three parts - Physical, emotional, and mental."

Gajeel raises his hand.

"What does shooting a gun have to do with piracy?" Gajeel asks Natsu, who pulls out a tazer.

"Because they use guns in One Piece," Natsu says. "Now, I remember that a little bird told me that you were going to volunteer to use a stun gun correctly, am I right?"

"Well, I -" Gajeel says before Natsu tazes him. A few seconds later, the tazing stops and Gajeel is on the floor twitching.

"There. That's how to use a stun gun," Natsu tells us. "Now, feel free to practice your shooting as much as you like before lunch. Have fun!"

Natsu then collapses and begins throwing up.

"Medic! I'm so seasick right now!"

With a sigh, I pick up a gun and fire it. Predictably, I miss, since the only guns I used were prop guns for Civil War re-enactments.

"You're doing it wrong," Loke - a glasses-wearing transferee from Kuroshitsuji faction - says mockingly. I pistol-whip him.

"Shut up," I say before I fire a few rounds, hitting all of my targets. After that, I twirl the gun around my finger and blow the smoke off of the end of the gun in a badass manner. "Haters gonna hate."

I then decide to go over to the can-shooting station to get away from Loke. He seems kinda sleazy.

I practice shooting at cans and shooting NERF foam darts before we take a break to go get lunch at Straw Hat Pizza. We choose Straw Hat Pizza, because Monkey D. Luffy wears a straw hat.

"So, how do you like One Piece faction?" Alphonse - the suit of armor - asks me. I blink.

"I'm sorry, but have I seen you before?" I ask. I really could've sworn I've seen this talking, cat-loving, suit of armor in some anime that wasn't Hetalia or One Piece.

"No, but you've probably seen those two kids before," Levy says as she points to a blonde-haired kid with a long, red coat and a blonde-haired girl who is hitting him upside the head with a wrench.

Wait... What are Edward Elric and Winry Rockbell doing here? Aren't they from Amestris?

"Hey, Lucy, pay attention!" Levy yells as she snaps her fingers in my face. "I asked you, have you shared any classes with Alphonse?"

I think about this. I've never seen him before, since Alphonse is from Bleach faction and I'm from Hetalia faction. Both Bleach and Hetalia factions are civil toward each other, but the Hetalia and Homestuck factions really hate each other. Also, there is some sort of rivaly between the Kuroshitsuji faction and the Hetalia faction, but who really cares about that?

"Nope," I say with a smile. And, here I thought being an S.O.S. Brigadier was bad, but look how far I've come. Nobody knows that I watch ANY anime I want to.

Haters gonna hate, indeed.

After lunch, we walk down the street to a kendo dojo.

"Now, here's the fun part - You get to practice fighting for tomorrow, where you will engage in hand-to-hand combat with your fellow pirates. Why do pirates have hand-to-hand combat? Enies Lobby, that's why," Natsu explains. I smirk to myself, since I have a chance to take down Loke in hand-to-hand combat.

But, it's not easy, since my punches and kicks I give to the punching bag are weak. After an hour of weakly punching the punching bag, Loke approaches me.

"You don't seem that skilled in fighting. Why don't you -" Loke asks before I give him a kick to the balls so hard, he sails across the room.

"Will you shut up?!" I yell. Everyone looks to me. "Carry on."

Everyone goes back to what they were doing before I physically assaulted Loke's manhood.

Score two for Lucy Heartfilia.

After dinner, we get to do whatever we want, so Levy, Gajeel, and I go shopping at the mall.

"Ooh! Let's go to Forever 21!" I squeal.

"We will, but first we need to get you some RPG clothes," Levy tells me.

"RPG clothes?" I ask Levy.

"Yeah. Everyone in One Piece either dresses normally, dresses like they're from a fantasy RPG, or both. You'll get used to it," Gajeel explains. "Plus, the RPG clothes are pretty bitchin'."

"Alright, if you say so," I say. Two hours later, I have bags filled with tons of clothing.

"Wow! These clothes are pretty cool!" I say. "What should we do next?"

"Get a tattoo. People in One Piece have nice tattoos."

Aries approaches us.

"Oh, hey, Aries," I greet the lamb-girl.

"Lucy?! I didn't know you were with the pirates," Aries says in shock.

"Yep. I like One Piece now," I say. "Say, which tattoo should I get?"

Aries ponders this over for a moment.

"As they say in Disney, 'anything your heart desires'," Aries tells me before she walks away.

"So, do you want a tattoo?" Levy asks as we approach the tattoo parlor.

"That depends, I -" I say before my eyes trail to the design of a pink bird taking flight.

Needless to say, I get that bird tattooed on my hand. There's a new Lucy in town!

Ending Note: Review if you want to see Lucy kick Loke's ass - I mean, if you want to see the Homestuck Trolls.
