I don't own Fairy Tail. Also, if any of you want to collab with me to write the story, PM me. I can tell you the plot and get some ideas. ^^ and I'll have to read your writing first to see if its the same level as mine (so the audience doesn't get confused) or more advanced.


Erza waited patiently at the train station, crossing her arms while watching a still-motion sick Natsu, a shirtless Gray, and a bored Lucy.

The other three were strewn across a wooden bench like laundry on a clothesline while the redhead stood next to them.

They were all waiting for Crime Sorcière; it was a quest Mira had set them all up to do.

It wasn't until earlier, just when they were about to leave for the mission when the barmaid had informed them they were teaming up with the other guild.

Probably another stupid matchmaking thing Mira was up to. Wait til' she got her hands on that devious little thing. She'd be lucky if Erza didn't wring her neck.

Erza huffed and looked at her teammates.

None of them looked really excited for this mission. Quite frankly, she wasn't either. Working with Jellal (no matter what Mira would think) wouldn't make her immediately make her fall head over heels and get married to him, have kids, and live happily ever after blah blah blah-no.

Just.

No.

She was here on a mission, not to humor Mira.

"Who are we waiting for again, Erza?" Lucy looked at her.

"Aye, I'm getting bored." Happy added, perching on a sick Natsu's head.

Erza shrugged and looked at her reflection on her armour. "Crime Sorcière. I didn't think they'd be this late. Maybe we should get going to the hotel and meet them there."

Gray nodded, "That seems like a plan. Do they know where we're staying?"

Natsu leaned over the edge of the bench, "I think I'll stay here and wait for them." His face was still green after the long train ride from Fairy Tail to some big town named Sorcery Town.

Whoever named this town must've had no creativity.

Erza frowned at the pink haired dragonslayer and finally said, "Okay. Lucy, Gray, you stay with him.

Happy and I will go ahead and search for it. She took her heavy load of luggage by the handle and wheeled it behind her as she went down the cobblestone street.

"Aye!" Happy flew after her.

Erza took the key to her hotel room and unlocked the door. Being the only one who'd wanted to stay in a room on her own, she'd made sure she paid for it herself.

She walked onto the cream carpet that lined the floor, Happy flying in over her head.

Putting her arms on her hips, she scanned the room and thought, Hmm. Biggest hotel room I've been in so far.

The blue Exceed landed on her bed. "When do you think the others will be here?"

The redhead shrugged, "I guess we just wait here until they arrive."

Happy laid down on the taunt sheets of the king sized bed and Erza sat beside him, studying the room's contents.

At the corner of the room, there two big windows sitting perpendicular from one another, with burgundy curtains spread apart on either side of the glass. Surprisingly, there was a closet and a slick oak dresser.

It looked more like a bedroom than a hotel room.

She requipped into a normal white blouse and pleated navy blue skirt and laid down next to Happy, who was already sleeping.

Erza let her thoughts drift to the leader of Crime Sorcière. She used to have a slight crush on Jellal, she will admit. Now, she was way over it. Having weaknesses only made enemies have more ways into defeating you.

Until this morning.

Ever since Mira had told them about their teaming up plan, she wasn't sure anymore if she still liked him or not.

Erza was quite informed about his feelings for her, which was, she didn't know.

He never let in on his feelings. Typical guys. Never able to be comfortable with sharing their feelings.

It seemed like forever until Natsu practically kicked down and strolled in, the rest of her teammates following close behind with Crime Sorcière.

Erza sat up and rubbed her temples tiredness (A/N is that a word? Eh, whatever.) She always had headaches after being forced to wake up. "Natsu, did you have to kick the door down?"

Erza was too tired to beat him up.

Lucy stood beside him, Gray standing on the other side.

Happy flew onto Natsu's head and sat down. The dragon slayer rolled his eyes and replied, "You locked the door. What else was I supposed to do?"

Erza shook her head and looked hazily at Jellal, Meredy, and Ultear. "Hello. Good seeing you again."

They all replied in the same unanimous way, including Jellal.

Meredy subtly elbow Jellal in the gut, smirking to herself. He elbowed her back, harder to the point where she stifled an "omph".

He then smiled a little and crossed his arms across his chest. Ultear looked at them both then nodded at Erza, "We've all checked into our rooms already. Do you want us to start the mission tomorrow? It's getting dark outside."

Erza turned her head and confirmed what Ultear had said. The evening glow from the sunset fell through the window, and the room was darkening by the second.

The redhead nodded, "Agreed."

Crime Sorcière left the room to leave the team alone.

Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Happy just remained standing in the room. She looked at all of them, "Shouldn't you guys go to your own room?" Gray shrugged, "Natsu and Happy were complaining that they were hungry so we were wondering if you wanted to join us to the restaurant they have here."

Lucy agreed, "I'm pretty hungry myself after that ten hour train ride, anyway."

Erza stood up, "Sure. That sounds good."

Happy squealed, "YES!" and glided out of the room with Natsu sprinting after him.

The rest followed slowly after the two nutcases.

Lucy glanced at the silent Erza, "Are you okay?"

Erza narrowed her eyes, "Why wouldn't I be?"

The blonde shuddered, "Nothing!" she scooched to the other side and Gray and shoved him to the spot where she used to stand.

The ice mage gave her a look of Dude-Why-Would-You-Do-This-To-Me and looked at Erza, "You're not wearing your normal armor."

Erza requipped, "I forgot." She remained silent for the rest of the way downstairs, with Lucy and Gray looking confused.

Natsu and Happy were already seated at a table, scarfing down food.

Gray and Lucy both facepalmed. Erza inwardly smiled.

For some reason, today she was feeling better than she had in a long time.
