I tried my hand at a story for some characters from Edolas. I hope I kept them in character and that you enjoy this. I don't own Fairy Tail.
"And why can I not enter?" a petite child asked the guard after the 100th time.
"For the last time child, person, demon, whatever you are! You cannot get in because most people can't enter the castle!"
"It's because you're a meanie that it's like that," she concluded. "I want to visit an old friend of mine, but you won't let me. Young children these days honestly..." Her blue eyes showed her boredom and mockery for the men in front of her.
"Get out already!" he commanded, red in fury and annoyance.
"Then the sooner you let me in, the sooner I'll leave. It's very simple."
The guard was about to rip off her head, but a voice stopped him. "Could you be so kind as to not disturb the guards?" The guards turned and kneel when they heard the voice of their King. "I wonder if you've changed at all during the years, Faye."
"I haven't, and your soul is the same as ever. There's still a child who said that he was scared of never being able to return home." These two have had quite a long relationship, ever since Faye met Jellal as a child wandering around the land to seal Anima. She even introduced him to Fairy Tail. "What do I call you now that you've gotten like this? His highness, King Jell-chan, Jellal, Lal-chan, Myst-chan, what do I call you now?"
"Anything but those last two. How did you even get here? You shouldn't have enough power to bring yourself here," Jellal stated, confused.
"That's why I had some help. Nothing is impossible Jel-chan, you should know that."
"Great, you can help me with paperwork," he decided.
"What-"
"Let's go. Thank you two as always for your hard work," he quickly stated as he pushed the girl to help him with the long amount of paperwork that he ran out on. "All you need to do is stamp the documents I give you after I sign them. Okay?" Not even letting her answer, he said, "Good!"
"I am not agreeing to this. I don't even know my lefts from my rights any you want me to help you with paperwork? You're crazy!" He held up a bag of candy. "...Which papers goes where?"
They worked in silence, with sounds coming from Jellal's pen and the stomping of the stamp, but the conversation soon started. "So what exactly are you doing here? I doubt that it's just for a visit."
"Well, my reason will be clear in..."
The door slammed open and a scarlet haired beauty walked in with her shoes clacking loudly. "King, why am I hearing rumors of you being a lolicon?" Her eyes flew from him, then to Faye, and back. "I apologize for intruding," she told him quickly.
"It is not like that! She is just an old friend of mine, Captain!" Erza raised her eyebrow in a questioning way. "I swear!" She sighed. Seriously, how is this guy the king of this country? Jellal cleared his throat from that awkward moment. "Is there a reason why you're here Captain besides to question my preferences which are-"
"Here are more documents that you need to oversee," she answered, quickly handing him a rather large stack to cut him off. If she had shown an interest in what he prefers that could lead to several misunderstandings that she doesn't want to deal with, which she would have to cut down to the point where it should never come into existence again.
"Captain Knightwalker, if your intent is to torture me, I'd prefer if you would use another method."
"Just look at the papers, your Majesty." She turned to leave, but Faye had grabbed onto her. Erza tried to wiggle her hand out of the girl's iron grip, but it wouldn't budge. Faye looked at her like a curious child. "Your Majesty, please remove this...creature off of me."
"She likes you!" he teased.
"That's... disturbing. Get off me," she commanded. "Hey! Little creature!"
After noticing that she wouldn't budge, Jellal offered, "Faye, do you want to eat cake with Erza?"
"Yep! You need to join us too, Jel-chan."
"Sure." It would be a waste to pass such an interesting opportunity.
"I refuse and you are suppose to be working on those papers, King," she spat out. She hated when he said her name like that, it was so sweet, it made her want to puke.
"Now Captain, do you want this girl to remain clinging to you? She is incredibly spoiled when it comes to things she wants." She looked from Jellal to the girl who seemed to be glued to her, sighing in defeat. "Excellent. However, I'm not sure if there's any cake left..."
"Then we'll just have to make some," Faye told him. "Right Erza-san?"
"If you think I'll cook, you've got another thing coming you little-"
"If not, there's you can always try to pry her off with a crowbar. Of course, no one's succeed yet, but I'm sure you'll put up a good effort," Jellal kindly informed her. Unsurprisingly, she did try the crowbar, it didn't work. Even when she made Jellal help, it didn't work, and that's how they ended up in the kitchen. "By the way Erza, do you know how to cook?"
An anger mark appeared on her forehead. "What is that suppose to mean, King?"
"My apologies, but you look like the type of person who would pulverize a strawberry instead of cutting it."
"Perhaps you might not know this, but I am excellent at cooking," she mentioned with each word gaining in volume. But when she proceeded to break an egg, the shell bits ended up in the flour.
"Er-"
"Don't say it," she commanded with her cheeks slightly red from embarrassment. She even said that last statement with quite a bit of pride. "You would have problems too if there was this thing on you."
"I see... Then you two can just watch and don't worry Erza, I won't cut myself, I promise." After having to care for himself while sealing up the Anima and having a limited amount of jewels, he learned a thing or two about cooking while he was on Earthland.
"Please refrain from calling me by my first name your Majesty, or I might puke out of your sincerity."
"Don't worry, I'll catch you if you faint," he assured.
Before Erza could retort, Hughes came rushing in. "Erza, I heard about your kid! It's like awesome!"
Erza twitched. Who spreads the rumors so fast in this place? It was definitely not Byro, the old man was too logical and focused on his books to spread such things. Sugarboy or Coco then? Or maybe both? She'll just have to worry about that later. "What kid are you talking about?"
"The one that's clinging onto you so awesomely crazy!" Erza sighed. Why did she always end up with annoying people? "So who's the dad? Wait, don't tell me that it's-"
"Hughes."
"But it's like the only possible answer and like if you guys got together-"
"Hughes."
"It'd be so awesome, then we'd get to do whatever and not have to deal with all the amazingly boring paperwork-"
"Hughes, get out before I kick you out," Erza commanded with a glare. She could only handle so much idiotic nonsense in one day. Hughes, not wanting to die, quickly ran out of the kitchen.
"You know Jel-chan, there's something that some people from Earthland would want you to know," Faye told him as he put the cake in the oven. "You see, Erza and Jellal-san got engaged recently!" Erza was about to scream in confusion, but then she realized that it was her counterpart, not her.
"Really? I'm glad for Erza, she must be happy."
"She is. It took a while for him to propose, but with a little rose magic, it worked out. So when are you getting married Jel-chan? You're a king after all, you must be worrying about how to continue your bloodline and all that other stuff."
"I'll worry about it when those geezers bring it up."
"Why not just marry this child?" Faye asked pointing to Erza.
"Huh?" That just topped what Hughes implied on the annoying list. "Demon child, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"But~ Wouldn't it work out well since you two've known each other since you were little? Besides a king falling in love with a maid is a cliche story, a knight and a king sounds much more interesting."
"You know we're not characters in a story right?" Jellal reminded her. Right...
"But-"
"Have some cream," he offered quickly forcing the bowl into her hands. Faye squealed and started eating the fluffy white cream with a spoon, releasing Erza from her iron grip. Erza was about to walk away while she could, but Jellal told her, "Captain Knightwalker, if you don't eat cake with her, she'll find you and cling to you for an even longer period time."
"This person, is she human?"
"Of course, she is."
"Really..." She muttered unconvinced.
The timer rang and Jellal went to go decorate the cake. "Jel-chan, let Erza-san decorate the cake with you. It will taste better that way."
"I'm not sure...With Erza's cooking skills, I'm afraid of what might happen and if you get poisoned, I'll be in a large amount of trouble as well..." Now with Erza and her pride and what he said (king or not), she just had to prove him wrong. She quickly mixed together a batch of cream, but it got a tad too messy. "Erza..."
"Shut up!" she growled.
"But if you keep mixing it like that-" A handful of cream got thrown right on his face. Erza didn't care if he was king, today has been too annoying for her tastes and she actually wanted to punch him, but that would get her in trouble with those annoying elders.
"My apologies King, my hand slipped," she apologized in a mocking tone without the hint of respect.
"Oh I see, Captain. That explanation could be understandable. However, I cannot simply let this one go," he said as he wiped the cream off his face. Erza gave him a questioning look, but it disappeared as he stained one of her cheeks with the cream in his hands.
"Jellal... You little-"
"Don't worry Erza, I'll clean up my mess." Erza froze as Jellal leaned in and licked her crimson cheek. "My apologies Captain, so you can cook something after all. It's delicious, especially on you," he whispered into her ear with a satisfied smile.
"I swear if you weren't king..." Oh if he wasn't the king... There would be even more chaos in more ways than one.
"Aw, so cute." They turned to the girl who was still happily eating the cream, and this scene, up. "Can I plan your wedding? I already have a great idea for a theme."
"NO! I have things to do, I'll take my leave King," Erza said quickly, leaving the room. "And don't you dare cling to me demon child!"
"So can I plan your wedding?"
"If Erza accepts my feelings and you planning the wedding, then sure."
"So you still haven't been able to say anything to her about your feelings of her." Faye smiled softly. "Part of the reason I came here was because Jellal-san and Erza had wanted to apologize to you."
"Apologize? For what?" he asked clueless.
"Erza wanted to apologize for the way she reacted when she first saw your face. Then Jellal says sorry because of what he did to make Erza react like that and for impersonating you on a few occasions."
"I'm not really upset about those things. What's done is done."
"Then I wanted to come because I wanted to help a little with your relationship with her since she seems so dear to you, even when you were first in Earthland."
"Even though my relationship with her was mainly lessons related when we were younger," he told Faye as he put the cream on the cake. When Jellal and Erza were young, they took sword lessons together and their fathers had them practice with each other practically everyday. When Jellal went to Earthland, he couldn't help but think of her. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."
"I hope you two are happy when you get together. Eat the cake with her."
"You aren't eating?"
Faye held up a little sand timer. There were few grains left at the top. "It's almost time for me to get transported back. I'll come and visit again when I can. Don't tease Erza-san too much or she'll end up hating you and practically kill you in a simple 'sparing' match."
"Do you really think that could happen?"
"You're not bad at fight, but that's besides the point. She likes you quite a bit so don't make her regret that."
"I got it, I'll court her without teasing her too much." Faye's body started to glow and she disappeared back to Earthland. But he wouldn't keep his promise. It was far too fun to see the strict captain blush and get annoyed. She looked so cute when she was like that. "Now then, time to eat this cake with Erza." Now if he could find a way to spoon fed the girl, that would be great.
