An interesting idea, an interrupted fight, and dumb move on his part.

Natsu arrived, and faced off with Erza. After exchanging a few words, she Requipped into her Flame Empress Armor, and they started the fight.

As Natsu dodged a few attacks and attempted to retaliate, he noticed just how sexy she looked, and had an idea on what he could do regarding her. Seeing as she had magic that could swap out outfits, he could probably give her accessories, and make her act out personalities with them. It was definitely worth considering.

However, the fight came to an abrupt end when some representatives of the Council showed up, arresting Erza for 11 counts of property damage from the Eisenwald takedown that had gone on.

Naturally, Natsu was pissed, and when Erza was taken away, gave the rest of the Guild the slip, with some help from Macuo, who had owed him that favor, and gone after her... Then he interrupted the trial, going so far as to put on a piss poor impersonation of Erza so he'd take the punishment instead.

...yeah, that idea had seemed much better in his head.

Of course, it all turned out to be pointless in the end: Erza was never to be punished, it was just the Magic Council putting on some kind of show of having control over the Guilds, and as Erza annoyedly explained, they had intended to just find her guilty without putting any penalty on her.

Seemed lame to Natsu, but he didn't complain when they were released from the cell and returned to Fairy Tail's Guild Hall. Natsu then proceeded to try and pick up where he and Erza had left off... Only to get offhandedly one shot by her, as she was just simply done with the shenanigans of the day...

Yep... This wasn't his day at all. "You know, it WAS incredibly bone headed of you to come rushing after me like that," Erza said, looking down at his prone form.

"...yeah, we already established that I was an idiot..." Natsu groaned.

"All the same... It does make me happy that you cared enough to do it," she told him, smiling, before returning to her table, Natsu blushing a bit.

Yep... It was time to use the Note on her... Question was, how to go about it? He had his idea of course, but it was hardly the only thing available...
