I won't say much about this fic. It's not really a story; it's just something I've been thinking about for some time...

And for this fic, Jellal is a member of Fairy Tail and he and Erza are a happily married couple. It wasn't necessary but I just wanted to have them married. Just assume that Jellal is now not chased after by the Magic Council because things have worked out in some way or the other.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail. It belongs to Hiro Mashima.

Jellal's Father

It was yet another noisy day at Fairy Tail. But Team Natsu was strangely quiet. The reason wasn't too special though; Erza simply decided that the team should learn how to observe some peace and quiet for a while.

So they were all sitting at a table in the guild trying to do as Erza wanted. Erza sat with a slice of cheesecake while Jellal and Lucy remained busy reading books. Jellal was actually quite fond of reading and soon became good friends with Lucy and Levy after he joined the guild...

Wendy, Carla and Happy watched Natsu and Gray in silence as the two boys arm wrestled. Well, at least arm wrestling was less noisy and destructive than their usual brawls.

Jellal suddenly noticed that his wife's dessert was still untouched. He looked up to see Erza holding her fork in her hand and staring at the plate with a thoughtful look on her face. Jellal raised an eyebrow at the scene.

"Anything wrong, Erza?" he asked.

"Not really..." Erza slowly replied putting her fork down. "I was just thinking about something."

"Care to share?"

"Well," Erza started. "I think I know what my father-in-law looks like."

"What?" asked a confused Jellal. "Do you have a fever or something?"

"Of course not!" Erza said with a frown. "I'm not delirious."

"But how could you possibly know what your father-in-law looks like?" asked Lucy joining the conversation. "Jellal himself doesn't remember his father. And even if he did remember, you never met his dad. Then how do you know?"

Wendy shifted her attention to their conversation. Natsu, Gray and the two Exceeds also turned their heads to listen to them.

"Lucy's right," said Jellal. "You never met my family. How would you know what my father looks like?"

"But we met Mystogan's father," said Erza. "And if King Faust is Mystogan's father, then shouldn't Faust's Earth Land counterpart be Jellal's dad?"

Erza's teammates stared at her in shock. Jellal couldn't say anything; he didn't know how to react. He hadn't met Faust himself but since his friends had, didn't this mean that he now had a chance of reuniting with his family?

On the other hand, Lucy, Wendy, Natsu, Gray and the two Exceeds could only shout out in unison, "WHY DIDN'T ANY OF US THINK OF THAT BEFORE?!"

So, what do you think? This is possible, right? I think it is even though the workings of Edolas aren't really very clear...

In his/her review, LilTimy pointed out something about which I had kind of forgotten about. In the anime, it is hinted that King Faust is the Edolas counterpart of Makarov. The thing is, this was only shown in the anime; nothing of this sort happened in the manga. And I personally believe that the anime shouldn't have shown this because it really twists the logic of Edolas. The Edolas Fairy Tail members told Natsu that they had lost their master during their struggle against the King. So I believe that the Edolas Makarov, who was most probably their master, is dead. Considering this, King Faust shouldn't be Makarov's Edolas counterpart if you follow the manga. And in response to Jenny1751's review I would like to add that the Edolas counterparts of all the characters have the same first names and also the same faces. So I really don't believe that Makarov and King Faust are counterparts.

Well then, please review and let me know what you think!
