The Strangest Day
It was a normal day like any other in the city of Magnolia. The sky was crisp blue, fluffy clouds lazily floated across the sky, and birds chirped happily. That is until the screams of one Erza Scarlet echoed through the streets…
10 minutes ago
Erza walked down the familiar street towards her beloved guild, Fairy Tail, with a slight bounce in her step. Today was her birthday and she was happy as hell! I wonder if Mirajane will give me cake for free…her thoughts cut off abruptly when she reached the guild's doors. All was silent. Which was odd, since there was usually the sound of multiple conversations and the occasional fight between Natsu and Gray (she cracked her knuckles at this thought). Ignoring the odd feeling in her gut, she pushed the doors open, only to be greeeted with utter silence. There was no one in the vast building. Erza was shocked speecheless..that is until... WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?
current time
Erza was terrified. She had seen the guild unusually quiet, but never empty. Not even Mirajane was there to greet her. Her uneasiness gave way to irritation. If this was some stupid prank that Natsu or Gray came up with...well...needless to say they would soon need to change their names to Grace and Nancy. She cracked her knuckles and stormed into the buliding, determined to find out where her fellow guild members were hiding. But even after searching the guild from top to bottom and every nook and corner, there was no one.
Erza was devastated. She really had been looking forward to eating cake and being with her friends, but now her plans were ruined. She dejectedly walked towards the center of town not really caring where she ended up, until a sudden thought crossed her mind. Her honey colored eyes flashed in fear. What if the guild members had been kidnapped? What if there was a terrible accident that had occured during the night while she slept? Now she was worried. She exquipped into her spikey battle armor, yearning for a fight. Non-mages looked at her like she was about to explode, but she paid no mind. The only thing Erza cared about at the moment was finding her unseen guild members, which would prove to be a difficult task. (Although she did change back to her normal attire.)
Suddenly, she sank to the ground. How would she even find her guildmates? There was no evidence in Fairy Tail and the tracker she'd put on Natsu had been knocked off in a fight between the Salamander and Gray a long time ago. She had nothing. Suddenly, she remembered something about Natsu, Gray, and Lucy talking about a secret the other day. She thought back to the conversation and realized that they had been planning something. With a new-found determination, Erza set off in the direction of a certain blonde Celestial Spirit Mage's badly abused apartment.
The search in Lucy's apartment proved useless, although she did happen to find some of Lucy's more...scandalous undergarments. (She blushed at the thought of someone actually wearing such tiny things.) Sighing, Erza noticed that the sun was starting to get lower, and dejectedly home, telling herself that she dreamed the whole thing. That she would wake up, and everything would be normal again. She reached her apartment door, but stopped suddenly. She swore she heard people talking. Erza quickly exquipped into her spiky battle armor again, and kicked in her door, wildly brandishing her spear about and yelling crazy things. When she finally came to her senses, she looked around into the faces of her shocked (and scared) guild members, staring at her, and then laughing, and yelling happy birthday. Mirajane even sat a humongous strawberry cake down on the table in the center of the room.
Erza just stared, too stunned to speak. "W-what? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!" she wailed for the second time that day.
