It's not a little habit, Mira!" Laxus gaped at her, and she simply giggled and waved it off. Pointing a finger to the salmon colored man, Laxus ignored how Natsu glared at him. "The shit always wakes me up atop of me, like he's a dog and I'm the freakin' bed!"

"Oi, it's not just you, moron," Gray snapped from the other end, startling Lucy and making Natsu swing his head to the other side boredly, sticking his tongue out to him. "Hothead would sneak into my place and try to get snuggly with me, too!"

"Not my fault!" Natsu whined and crossed his arms. "I've tried everything to stop it, but nothing ever works! Besides, Luce is a lot nicer to me than any of you, dorks! She throws shoes at me."

Lucy was about to stop him when both men blinked and finally nodded in agreement. Mirajane whispered casually to the blonde how Laxus tried to stab Natsu at one point waking up, and Gray tried to throw him out his bedroom window. Lucy paled and glanced to Natsu, who didn't seem affected by it. Once Laxus started offering Lucy ideas, perhaps mouse-traps? Tying Natsu to a flagpole? Gray rolled his eyes and left the bar to check Levy's work, making Lucy and Natsu excuse themselves quickly before following him.

The dark haired man twitched at seeing the two scurry after him. "What do you guys think you're doing?" he snapped, but Natsu grinned cheekily at him in response while Lucy ignored them both. Lucy learned pretty quickly that Gray is Natsu's best friend, there is no doubt about it, but the way their friendship works out is by constantly fighting or bickering with each other. Trying to get under their skins was their best way to communicate and get along, even though Lucy has trouble trying to be the same. Gray, however, seems to already accept her as a pal already, so she didn't need to try too hard.

"Gray!" Levy cheered happily upon seeing him enter, with Lucy and Natsu in tow, which made her brighten even more. "Lulu-chan! Natsuuu, did you come to see if you needed some weapons for today?"

"Mm? What's today, Levy-chan?" Lucy blinked at the mechanic, who began unbuttoning her welding suit and slipping her arms out of the sleeves.

"I thought Erza or Makarov told you guys last night," Levy frowned, tying her sleeves around her waist. "Weren't you guys awake?"

"Nah, we crashed after we dumped trash out from cleaning," Natsu boasted and swung his hands behind his head. He looked to be very proud of himself. "It took days, but we did it! We practically fell asleep by ten, isn't that funny?"

Levy rolled her eyes with an amused smile on her face. "Well, Makarov announced that there's a job today, and she's putting you two plus Erza and Jellal on the menu. Seemed pretty serious, so I guess he went for S-Class only."

"Aren't you an S-Class, too, Gray?" Lucy looked to the dark haired man with a raised brow. The man nodded and jerked his chin towards the car that was missing the driver's door.

"The job requires partners, and my ride is being fixed right now, so I can't officially ride," Gray explained with a bored tone. "There's a race that's going to happen tonight, though, along with the job opportunity and the whole garage wants to go as support for the gang. Levy included," he looked to the short woman, who beamed with excitement.

"And no one bothered to wake me up?" Natsu gaped.

"Of course we tried to wake you up, but you must've been sleeping like a rock," Erza's voice came from behind, making everyone turn to see the red head woman dressed in a crop top and torn jeans with boots. Next to her was Jellal, Lucy remembers, her husband dressed in a black t-shirt and a dark pair of jeans with his hands in his pockets. He was usually the quiet type from the other times she has seen him, but was fairly polite to Lucy overall.

"Erza wanted to bust inside," Jellal said coolly, "but I knew you two probably didn't want her seeing you two...you know..."

Lucy flushed at the face while Natsu scoffed. "Not like I was doing anything bad to her," he responded with a pout. Looking to Erza, Natsu cocked his head to the side. "So what's the job we're going to do?"

"Simple highjack of a train car carrying drugs, if I remember right," Erza said calmly, while Lucy gasped horridly at the response. "There's a private investor that's wanting to test out the gangs and pick out one to hire. Makarov wants us to participate and see if we can direct the employee with any major drug industries."

"The narcotics are suppose to be heading to a rivaling drug lord, and the person whose wanting drivers to get it for him wants to put him out of business," Jellal went on, looking to the small group of young adults listening. "The train we're suppose to target is passing through a specific route, so we came up with a plan that will have myself and Lucy, if she wishes to participate, to get in and grab it. After, we return to the meeting space given to deliver and receive a reward."

"How much?" Gray asked, genuinely curious.

"About three thousand to each driver to gets a package," Erza answered, watching as Lucy's jaw dropped. Smiling, the redhead turned to the blonde. "Trust me, Lucy, that's rather small compared to other jobs we do here. Besides, the police department have been looking to the drug lord's case for a while now; if we can also snag the one driving the delivery, we may be able to get extra."

"But who's participating with us?" Natsu blurted.

"Phantom Lord, of course. Trinity Raven and Blue Pegasus are the ones who responded to the job." Erza closed her eyes for a moment, as if trying to think of more details. "Jose will obviously have Gajeel and Juvia, and perhaps a couple more from their pack; Ichiya is sending out his three usual boys, and I'm not too sure about Trinity Raven..."

"If anything, that gang will try to attack the others once they've seen that they got what we're looking for," Jellal crossed his arms and Erza shifted her weight to one leg and pressed her side to her husband. "Since this is Lucy's first job, you can just stay in Natsu's car and pretend to have the package to drive them off. You're still getting used to things here, right?"

"U-uh... No! I can help out, no problem!" Lucy stammered, having all eyes on her as she struggled to keep herself together. Swallowing thickly, her brown eyes darted to Natsu, who was being patient yet concerned for her. "Really, it's not a big deal. I took self-defense a few years back for a little bit, and I was really good in gym in high school."

"This isn't some obstacle course, Luce," Natsu reminded her slowly. "You can get seriously hurt, if you're not careful."

"Says the one who drives like a maniac on energy drinks," Lucy retorted coolly, earning a snarky laugh from Gray and a smile from Erza and Jellal. Looking to the man with the tattooed face, Lucy clenched her fists close to her chest. "I can help you out, Jellal. I gotta get use to the ropes here sooner or later, right?"

Erza looked to Jellal with a concerned spark in her eyes, yet said nothing as she offered a smile to the blonde with a slow nod. Grabbing her husband's hand, Erza gently tugged him to follow her with their hands tangled. "Be sure to prepare for today, then. We have to head out at three, but I wish to leave early."

"Lucy," Natsu started, "I -!"

"Ya hear that, Lucy? Your first official job!" Cana sang, twirling into the automotive area with a bottle of beer in her hand. "Let Cana-neesan fix you up, okay? M'gonna make you look like a real race-chick, got it?"

"Cana, why are you drinking now?" Gray snapped at the gurgling woman, who hushed with a finger to her lips and muttering that he's going to wake everyone up. Gray rolled his eyes and waved her off. "You better hope Gildarts doesn't know about this - I thought you were cutting down."

"It's beer, not rum this time," Cana slurred with a cheeky grin. Now that Lucy could see it, the young woman didn't seem as drunk as she usually was, probably because she grew a tolerance for things with light alcohol. Swinging her long, wavy brown hair - whacking Gray with her locks in the process, causing him to sputter - the chick looked her over, humming in the process. "Sooo, I think you're okay, but change your top to one of Mira's, got it? I know she has a laced bra top that's blue with gold trimming. It'll look nice with Natsu's ride. He has gold sparkles on the flames of his car, so wear that."

"That's too revealing, isn't it? We're racing, not trying to attract anyone!" Lucy blushed deeply, her hands instinctively coming up to hold her breasts. "I-I tried that on, and it's really revealing on my chest, Cana."

"Truuust Cana-neesan!" Cana licked her lips. "You gotta look like you're serious about the races and jobs, so you gotta dress as sexy as you can. Ya saw some of the girls from the other night, right? Like that, but you'll make it look twenty times better with that body of yours."

Lucy's face went red as she crossed her arms over herself, and Cana smirked. "If you don't," Cana purred cutely into Lucy's ear, "then I'll put it on for you, and I won't let you out of the car until it's on!"

"I will, jeez!" Lucy shrieked and Cana snuggled up to her. She learned fairly quickly that Cana was very affectionate to other girls when intoxicated, but she's also a lady of her word, sober or not. Looking to Natsu, who was oblivious to the whole ordeal, as usual, Lucy sighed. "I'm going to go and get the top, Natsu..." Ah? 'Kay!" the young man grinned and dove into Gray's car, sitting in the leather interior and grasping the wheel. He seemed to have forgotten what he wanted to say before Cana interrupted him, his whole attention of sprouting ideas to Gray about changing his car, who in return threatened him to get the hell out of his ride so Levy could fix it.

Sighing, Lucy shook her head before going back to their apartment to find that top Cana ordered her to wear. She knew where it was, in one of the drawers Natsu gave her to stash her clothes in...but she still wasn't sure if she would look normal with it on.

Despite Mirajane and Lucy being the same size, even in breasts, it felt so constricting on Lucy's boobs!

"Natsu, what's this?" Lucy blinked as she buckled her seatbelt, only to have a little box shoved in her face by her driving partner. Looking at it, it was poorly wrapped in material of newspaper that he obviously tried to do himself with Luce written in sharpie on top of the comics. Taking the small, rectangular box, Lucy raised a brow at him with suspicion.

The young man frowned and retracted his arm. "I was hoping to give it to you later, once you're comfortable taking jobs like this," he said lowly, crossing his arms as he watched her unwrap the newspaper. "But, I think now would be the best time to have it, since anything can happen on a train."

Opening the small cardboard box, Lucy pulled out a small taser that would easily buckle to her belt loops of her shorts. Blinking, Lucy looked it over and saw that the taser was decorated with stickers of glittery stars and a couple hearts, making Lucy imagine Natsu trying to place them on the tool with a concentrated look on his face.

"You know how to use it, right?" Natsu asked, jerking his chin to it as Lucy looked back to him. "It should be charged with a full battery. I asked Mira if she had any leftover stickers from when she went crazy for scrapbooking, you know, to make it look nicer."

"Why are you giving me a taser?" she asked softly, looking it over again and mentally counted the stickers.
