"How are you going to leave the fire?" Erza stared at the brown eyes, seeing the grin on her friends face again.

"Eager aren't we Erza?"

"I… I don't know what you mean." Erza blushed and looked away, only to feel a pinch on her hip and let out a yelp of surprise.

"You're already wearing the costume darling. Plus, your yelp will have them notice." Rubbing her hip Erza saw Meredy and Ultear, as well as Jellal, look around wary.

"I'll go look what that was…" Jellal said and stood up, thought suddenly Ultear stood up.

"No, I'll go, stay and look after the camp, Meredy, come with me." Jellal sat down, thought he found it strange that Ultear would want to take Meredy with her. The two women disappeared behind a group of trees and soon Jellal found himself alone in the camp, as he watched the flames he thought of Erza. Ah…. Erza… hopefully he could pay her a visit soon. Of course she couldn't know, she should never know he watched her from afar… Ultear said it was stalking but who was he to care what bizarre fantasies Ultear had?

A little bit into the woods where only the moon lit the forest floor a group of four women was sitting. As if they had a low table in front of them they all sat in seiza*, Erza and her friend on one side, Meredy and Ultear at the other side.

"So, my dear madams." Meredy smiled at Erza, the red-head looked down as she bit her lip, it was strange. Next to her sat her friend in the doggy-costume and didn't seem to be the least bit bothered by the unusual attire of her and Erza, while the other two looked like they thought the both had gone nuts.

"I know we have the same goal or you wouldn't have reacted as you did, however I need your help in this." She pointed at Erza. The red-head pulled some of her strength together to not look to vulnerable.

"How shall we help?" Meredy asked and leaned forward.

"Well, first things first, Erza here needs a little more… fear!" She snipped her fingers as she found the word.

"Fear?" Erza asked, sometimes she didn't want to understand her friend, but now it would probably be better if she did.

"Yes, like so!" Erza suddenly felt a lot more of the cold night air as before, looking down she gasped and pulled the straps of her now ripped costume up, it barely covered anything!

"Ah-!"

"Shush! Now, be a good little red-head and play the scared little kitty, run into his arms and seek for help and safety, men just love helpless women!"

"Meredy, we'll stay with this friend of Erza-san for the night." Ultear said and got a nod of the brown-haired.

"Now, off you go my dear… good luck and… well, don't be too loud, we don't wanna wake the little kitties." Erza stood up, she didn't like her costume being ripped!

"But… my costume!"

"Erza, darling, trust me. Jellal is part of the male species, a strange and not exactly logical being, play his helpless kitty so he can feel strong and all protective of you, then, we'll talk about unharmed costumes." She gave in but she was still unhappy about her favorite costume being ripped, her friend would have to buy her a new one, one with a bell and paws and a really fluffy tail!

Still holding her ripped costume up with her hands, not that she actually cared that much for being exposed, but she wanted to wear her costume for Jellal! She would make sure she did! Slowly nervousness was making her feel more insecure and she felt her legs begin to shake at all the wonderful things Jellal would shower her with, but no, she had to look scared. Scared was something Erza avoided at all costs, but for her friend she would do it, she was after all very often right. Putting on a scared face and running the rest of the way to the camp she help the rips of her costume up with only one hand and wide fear filled eyes took in Jellal as she smashed against him, throwing both to the ground.

"Jellal!" She whimpered and hid her face in his chest.

"E-Erza!" he stuttered, she couldn't see the bright blush on his face, but she heard his fast beating heart.

"Did something happen? Are you okay Erza?!"

"I'm scared, can you hold me?" Jellal gulped, Erza was scared? Then something bad must have happened! He would kill the one who did this to her, who dared to touch his little Erza and r-r-rip… he gulped again as he took in her ripped costume, she was barely covered!

"Everything's alright Erza, I'm here." He said and put his jacket over her to cover up her backside and the not so small visible part of her behind.

"Jellal…" Erza glanced up at him and pulled his jacket around herself, looking at him with big eyes she made sure to push her chest out just as her friend had instructed.

"E-Erza… what happened?" He asked, trying to not lose focus at the tempting woman her curves pressed to him, he had half sat up by now.

"I was so scared!" Erza let go of the jacket and slung her arms around the blue-haired, too shocked to do anything then catch her they fell down onto the ground again.

"I need you Jellal…" he held her tighter to him as she whispered the words into his ear, her warm breath caressing him softly.

So, I'll give you a little bit more…

In case if you wondered, Erza's friend won't be getting a name or a real describtion… her part is to be even more perverted than Erza while said red-head stays in spot-light ^^
