It'd be fun if Mashima made everyone believe that Lucy didn't improve or maybe even declined in her battle-abilities and then comes her first fight and she's totally kicking ass, leaving even Natsu with his jaw glued to the floor and her ending up with saying something like "What? Did you think writing articles was the only thing I did all this time?" :P
