I do not own Fairy Tail (naturally)
All credits go to the awesome Hiro Mashima and his great imagination!
Thank you for giving us Fairy Tail :DD
Erza was not your typical high school student who would enjoy her time after school shopping and hanging out with her friends during her last days as a sophomore. No, she was beyond that. The beautiful Erza Scarlet, one of the four siblings of the richest corporation in Japan, and newly-elected Student Council Vice President of Tenrou High for the next school year. She had shining red hair and a body figure men dream about and women dream to become. She would leave early on her limo as soon as classes ended in which many students start to wonder what would she be doing on her free-time.
A group of three freshmen were talking about it while eating in a fastfood chain near their school.
"I wonder what Erza would be doing this time." said Natsu, a pink-haired student who is considered a 'prodigy' in mixed martial arts in the school.
"Why don't you try stalking her for the whole summer, Natsu." said Lucy, a blonde girl who is loves acting and romance stuff.
"Why would I waste time following her around all summer?"
"Because you have a thing for her, you tsundere." interrupted Gray, also considered a great mixed martial artist. He is considered the school's new idol for his good looks are as good as the idol of the incoming seniors, Laxus.
"What the hell are you saying, you squinty-eyed playboy? I bet you want another beating from me like I did to you last January in the classroom." shouted Natsu as he stands and confronts Gray. Everyone in the building were looking at them.
"Bring it on, you musclehead!" shouted Gray, removing his polo and undershirt. The girls squeaked as they saw Gray stripping. The guards could do nothing but watch as the past haunted them. They tried stopping the two of them from brawling but in the end, the guards were the one beaten to a pulp by both men.
"Stop this foolishness at once!"
And then they saw her, Erza Scarlet. Natsu wasted no time seating back down. Gray smiled and walked toward Erza.
"The new vice president is about to stop me? How cut-"
Erza grabbed Gray's left arm and twisted it to the point where he laid down on the ground and was screaming in pain.
"I give. I give!" shouted Gray. Erza lets go of her hold and looks at Natsu, he was petrified.
"You wanna give it a go as well?" said Erza, looking at Natsu straight in the eye.
"N-No..." replied Natsu with soft tone to it. Erza smiled.
"You proved him wrong, your not all muscle. Maybe this guy is. Stop fighting, alright?" Erza then left and entered her family's limousine.
"Hey, Natsu! What gives? You could have helped me back there." shouted Gray again. Gray was stunned to see Natsu smiling, his face lit to slight pink.
"E-Erza...smiled at me." said Natsu to himself softly. Only Lucy could hear what he was saying. Strangely, she wasn't too happy to hear that from him.

"Erza, your sisters and I will attend an important company retreat while you will stay at your cousin's house in France for the time being." said Erza's father on her phone.
"Juvia's place would be fun, Dad. But why can't I come with you to the company retreat?"
"Its business, Erza. And you have not reached up your sisters' level of thinking for the company. When the time comes, you'll be ready. Oh, our plane is here. Be sure to order the butlers and maids to have a leave as well. See you again soon."
"Bye Dad, I love-"
The phone was turned off.
Erza looked out the window of her limousine, depressed and lonely.
"What's wrong, milady?" asked Rob, driver of the limo.
"I'm being left again. It's like I won't be part of his life until I've graduated from college. You, Virgo, and Reedus have taken care of me since I was little. I wonder when I'll be taken care by my own family." replied Erza.
"I'm sure your father has a reason for this. Please, just be patient. He'll eventually reach out to you."
"When, Rob? When?! I have followed everything he tells me and yet..." Erza started to cry.
"Don't cry, milady. I know you have been lonely for the past few months, but once you visit your cousin Juvia, she'll surely turn that frown upside down."
Erza giggled a little.
"I'm too old for that quote, Rob"
"But never too old for me to try and make you smile."
Erza smiled and wiped the tears from her face.
"Thank you, Rob."

The next day, Erza waved goodbye to Rob and Virgo at the airport. It was 9AM and her flight was at 10, so she had ample time to go around the airport. She bought Sushi and a small teddy bear in the airport's inside mall. Everyone looked at her and greeted her, knowing the youngest daughter of the Scarlet family. Erza smiled at them and greeted them as well. She remembered that Juvia loved two things: Japanese food and cute things.
It was 9:50 when she started lining up to the plane. All she brought was a small bag full of clothes and the things she bought inside the airport. She handed her ticket to the steward.
"Welcome aboard, Ms. Scarlet." said the steward.
"Thank you." replied Erza as she enters the plane.
Her seat was no.14, second row to the front. It was a chair near the window. She loved looking at the sky when the flight begins. She quickly placed her bag and belongings in the compartment and sat at the window, looking at fields around the runway. She plugged her earphones and listened to soothing music. Suddenly, she felt objects being placed inside her compartment. She removed her earphones and looked to her right and saw a young man sitting near him. The young man had blue hair and was looked at by the other passengers. Erza was shocked to see a man sitting next to her and almost screamed in fear. Thankfully, she covered her mouth before doing so.
"Is something wrong?" said the young man.
She quickly removed her hands from her mouth.
"Nothing." replied Erza.
"Then why do you cover your mouth? Is my breath that awful?"
Erza's eyes widened. She felt that she was insulting him indirectly.
"No. No. Of course not. I was just surprised to see you there."
"I've been here for five minutes. I just fixed my bag a while ago and then you looked at me and covered your mouth."
Erza fell silent again.
"I'm sorry. I was just relaxing and didn't know you were there. I'm really sorry." said Erza. She felt rude to him. But the young man smiled at her and reached out his hand to her.
"It's alright. Anyway, I'm Jellal."
"Nice to meet you, I'm Erza. I'll be your seatmate this whole trip and hope that we will both enjoy it."
"I won't have it any other way." replied Jellal.
Notes:
This story centers around not only the relationship of Erza and Jellal, but also other characters whose life has been affected by this two. Erza's father will remain unnamed for reasons I can't explain. Maybe I ran out of names. It will be great if you readers gave me some ideas (thanks in advance).
Erza, in this fanfiction, is not pure Japanese. She is half-European, half-Japanese. Jellal's background will be told in the story. A bit interesting.
I hope you enjoy my first Fairy Tail fanfic, guys. :DD
