Just why I think Erza likes strawberry cake. :)
"Er-chan, why do you like strawberry cake?" Millianna had asked her during the Grand Magic Games.
Erza, not sure, shrugged and replied, "It tastes good."
The cat lover was unsatisfied with her answer. "That's it? Nothing else?"
"It's like asking why you love cats."
With a loving squeal, Millianna cried out, "Because they're cute and cuddly!"
Erza smiled at her reply and listened to her go on about how adorable cats were.
Now, Erza sat in her room in Fairy Hills, pondering on her previous answer. Strawberry cake was good, but was there something else? She decided to ask herself why she didn't like other cake flavors.
Vanilla: It seemed to plain to her. It was simply sweet. Erza appreciated the simplicity of it, since life was anything but simple, yet she disliked it because it wasn't like life, full of surprises.
Red Velvet: It was fake. Just because it was artificial.
Lemon: Sweet, fragrant, and tangy. She didn't like the tanginess. Erza believed that cakes should be their own kind of sweet, but the tanginess was a little overboard.
Fruit: There was hardly any strawberry, just a whole mess of other fruit. Not to mention, the icing's were always too sweet.
Ice cream: The ice cream refused to thaw. So she would end up eating a block of creamy ice instead of a cake.
Pound: It always came in a huge block. How was she supposed to fit a 5 inch tall piece of cake in her mouth?
Chocolate: It reminded her of her past. Bittersweet. She hated being a slave in the Tower of Heaven, but she enjoyed the company of her friends. Millianna, Wally, Sho, Simon, Jellal. She wouldn't be in Fairy Tail if it weren't for her meeting Grandpa Rob, but if it weren't for her, he would still be alive. Such bittersweet memories... and flavor...
Later...
"Hey Erza! Another cake?" Erza had been sitting at the counter, finishing her strawberry cake. The former model was attending the bar and knew her friend would never say no to a slice of cake.
"Mmm..." Erza took a bite of her new slice and immediately fell into a land of strawberry cake.
She pondered the question she tried to answer earlier. Then, it hit her.
She loved strawberry cake because it was full of hope. Light, sweet, just what she always wanted as a child. She fell in love with the cake because it gave her hope.
Hahaha! So cheesy! Review please!
