Natsu and the team were in front of Duke Everlue's Residence, which was a huge mansion. Natsu and Happy were hiding behind a tree, blue and blossom were sitting on the a branch while Lucy stood in front of the gate and shouted, "I heard you were recruiting maids so I came! Is anyone home?" She then glanced at Natsu and Happy with a grin on her face. 'Alluring a perverted old man, burn the book and get 2,000,000. Piece of cake!' she thought.

"Do it well." whispered Natsu from behind the tree.

"Ganbare!" whispered Happy.

Suddenly, something popped out from the ground behind Lucy. An extremely tall and overweight maid with a brutish face and two pink pony tails landed behind her. "A maid applicant?" she questioned in a deep voice.

"H-Hai!" replied Lucy.

"Master, there's someone here who saw the advertisement came to apply." said the maid.

All of a sudden, something popped up from the ground again and landed in front of Lucy. "Did you call me?" asked a man. He was short, plump and ugly. He had a curled mustache which directly protruded from his nostrils, and a bushel of wavy hair atop his round head.

'There he is!' shouted Lucy in her mind.

"Let's see." he said, twisting his mustache while scanning her from head to toe.

"Yoroshiku onegaishimasu." said Lucy in a fake sweet voice. 'H-He's giving me goosebumps. But I have to endure it.' she thought.

"No thanks. Go home, ugly." he said with his back facing her.

"That's right. Go home, ugly." said the pink-haired maid while picking an offended Lucy up.

"Listen up. Only beautiful girls..." he trailed off when four ugly maids appeared from the ground. "...fit a great man like me!" he finished off.

Lucy, blue and blossom jaw dropped with disgust and disbelief. "Oh, Master~" swooned a maid.

"You're flattering us..." said another while hugging him.

"Master, you're extremely cool~" complimented another while twirling his mustache.

"Ugly, please go home. Okay?" said a maid, gently pinching the Duke's chin.

With the same word stabbing her, Lucy sulked at a tree. "You're useless." said Natsu, crossing his arms.

"Natsu, I don't think that's the problem..." trailed off blue, shuddering at the scene where the maids were swooning over the Duke.

"I'm not the problem!" shouted Lucy with an irk mark. "That Everlue guy's sense of beauty is just too unique!" she outraged.

"Excuses." was Happy's response.

"It's so humiliating!" she cried as she continued to sulk.

"Okay!" exclaimed Natsu, hitting his fist into his palm. "Since it came down to this, we'll use Plan T!" he said with a wide grin.

Lucy shot up with an angered look. "I'll never forgive that old fart!" she said furiously. "But what is 'Plan T'?" she asked.

"The T stands for 'Take them head-on'!" replied Happy.

"What part of it is a plan?!" asked Lucy.

"No, Natsu." said blue. "We're going to sneak in from the top." she said.

"I agree with blue." said Lucy.

Natsu simply nodded. He could not argue with blue. Not that he wanted the girls to follow his idea, he just could not bring himself to say "No" to the blue eye girl. The answer was simple: He loved her. While Happy carried Lucy and blossom  carried Natsu up to the roof, blue narrowed her eyes as she glanced at a lacrima floating on a branch. She clicked her tongue and snapped her finger. Ice began to wrap around the ball and shattered it into tiny pieces. blue punched downwards and gusts of wind blew her up to the top. When she arrived, Natsu was melting the window with his hand. "Geez..." he said. "We decided to take them head-on, so why are we sneaking in? We should break through the gate." he complained.
