Team Natsu + Juvia's mission

2. The Trip

I went to the station at the time agreed, and I was the third to arrive. Lucy and Natsu weren't there yet.
- So the two lovebirds aren't here yet, huh? I bet they forgot we're waiting - said Gray, smirking.
- Is the rumor that they're going out real? - asked Juvia.
- I'm not sure, but I think that they like each other. At least Lucy likes him, for sure. - I said.
- They are, of course! Haven't you seen how much he gets mad or worried when she's in trouble? He likes her, it's obvious, and if he didn't do anything yet he's an idiot.
- Who's an idiot? - asked Natsu, finally showing up next to Lucy.
- Who do you think, Flamebrain?
- Don't even start - I said - Let's go, the train is going to leave.
- Why does it have to be the train? - complained Natsu.
We went into the train, and we sat down. Gray and Juvia sat down next to each other, and Natsu and Lucy did too. I sat down next to Juvia, awkwardly, because I was the only one without a boyfriend/girlfriend. It got me back to the mood I had the day before, wondering about Jellal. I fell deep into thought, and didn't hear much of what they were talking about, I only knew that it was about the job we had. We all got out of the train before I noticed, and we were walking to the hotel, wherever that was; I was just following them.
- Hey, Erza! - someone said.
- What? - I said, startled.
- You okay? You haven't said anything since we got into the train- asked Gray.
- Yeah, I'm just thinking. What were you talking about?
- I think we might be dealing with a Dark Guild, instead of just bandits - answered Lucy. That could mean we'd see Crime Sorcière. But would that be a good or bad thing for me? Do I really want to see him? Or would it make everything worse?
- Well, I was wondering if it wouldn't be a job too easy for five Fairy Tail mages. Now, at least well have some room to fight - Gray said.
- Also, that means we might see Crime Sorcière - said Lucy. Then, she added, smirking - But you thought about that already, didn't you?
I blushed. Natsu laughed.
- Wow, you can make Erza blush! But you should run now, Luce, or you'll regret it!
- I should hit you, Natsu, instead of her!
- And Flamebrain gets screwed up again... - Gray said, laughing.
- Gray, are you trying to pick a fight? I'm gonna kick your ass, Ice Idiot! - Natsu yelled.
- If you do, I'm gonna kick both your asses! - I said.
- Juvia will protect Gray-sama!
- Everyone, stop! Please! - Lucy screamed. Then, she added - Hey, we're here already! So stop, please, before someone gets hurt.
- If anyone's gonna get hurt, it's Gray - said Natsu, not wanting to give up on the fight.
- Just come on - I pulled him to the hotel. We got two rooms, one for the girls and one for the guys. Lucy thought they'd fight all the time, but I assured her that we'd be in the room right beside them, and if they fought, we'd hear and I'd do something about it. I shot a death glare at the two, and they agreed on that. We decided to rest and go talk to the person that asked for the job in the morning.
