Jellal was laying on his bed in Crime Sorcière's little hideout as he looked over Erza's letter. It made his smile every time he read it. She was always so sweet with her words and they could easily bring tears to his eyes. Smiling to himself, he read her letter again,

Jellal,
I would like to wish you the happiest of holidays! Fairy Tail is getting ready for our annual Christmas party. It's funny how this time of year makes everyone smile and get along. Take Gray and Natsu for example, those two haven't gotten into a fight with one another since we started decorating the guild, it's actually enjoyable. I really do wish I could see you this year, that's really all I want. Anyway, I'll send you a Christmas gift soon so look for it. Happy holidays Jellal.
Sincerely yours, Erza

He didn't even know that he was smiling, but he was. He loved her letters so much and receiving them made him happy.

"Jellal!" Ultear's voice rang from outside his door. Quickly, he shoved Erza's letter under his pillow and he sat up.

"Yes?" He responded with a slight yawn.

Ultear and Meredy both opened his bedroom door, Meredy was holding a red envelope in her hands, and he could slightly see Fairy Tail's guild mark in the corner, "we got a letter Jelly!"

Why is that out of all things my nickname? It's horrible! I hate jelly...Jellal thought to himself as he raised a brow, "from whom?"

Ultear had a smile on her face that instantly answered this question before she even opened up her mouth, "it's from Fairy Tail. Mira invited us because of you helping out at the Grand Magic Games. Aren't you excited Jellal? You'll get to see Erza."

"Come on Jelly! Can we go? Please, please, please!" Meredy was practically begging at his feet with big puppy dog eyes and a pouty lower lip.

"I'll think about it Meredy," Jellal responded with a slight smile.

"If we go you'll get to see your girlfriend," Ultear said with a grin and crossed arms. She knew quite well that Jellal loved Erza but wanted to punish himself and not be with her, but for the love of God, it was the holiday season, and almost the start of a new year.

"Yay!" Meredy smiled happily and skipped out of Jellal's room, leaving Ultear and Jellal alone.

"Stop torturing yourself," the purple haired time arc mage said sharply.

"What are you talking about Ultear?" Jellal raised a brow and stared at her.

"What I mean is that a new year is coming our way Jellal. Stop torturing yourself and accept the fact that you love Erza and she loves you. Everyone knows you lied about the whole fiancée thing, so you can stop pretending like you have one."

He said nothing to her. All he did was stare at her, showing no emotion other than a hint of sadness. As much as he wanted to bring himself to let Erza go and try to stop loving her he just couldn't bring himself to do it, seriously, she was his first love after all.

Two days left until the guild's Christmas party and Erza was amazed by the fact that nothing had been destroyed yet. She was also amazed that everyone had already put their Christmas gifts under the tree, which usually didn't happen until Christmas Eve, but Titania wasn't complaining. The silence of everything was perfect.

"Dammit! What the FUCK do you mean I can't go on any missions?!" Gajeel seemed incredibly pissed off.

"Gajeel, it's the holiday season, no one is putting out any jobs for that reason alone," Mira was very calm and collected in her response. Did this man not understand the meaning of the word 'Christmas'?

"Gajeel-kun, please don't use language like that," Juvia said to her longtime friend. His attitude towards reacting to things was probably his biggest flaw.

"This is fucking stupid," the iron dragon hissed, "how exactly am I suppose to get some damn money to buy you shits something?"

Erza was totally fuming at that. She stood from her seat at the bar and barged over to the dragon slayer who was making a big fuss over nothing, something that he's done for the past few years, ever since he joined the guild actually, "what exactly are you complaining about?" She was standing right behind him with her arms crossed.

He turned and seemed frightened, "uh, uh, nothing Erza. Sorry I made a fuss."

"You better be."

He slowly began to back away from the Titania who never took her eyes off of him until he was safely out of the guild on his way back to his home. From a safe distance, everyone was watching Erza so they didn't have to feel her wrath.

"Maybe this would be a good time to tell Erza that Jellal and them have been invited to our Christmas party," Natsu said softly to Gray and Lucy.

"Are you nuts? We don't even know if they're coming, why exactly should we tell her to get her hopes up and then it turns out that he won't even be here," Gray responded icily.

"Good point."

Lucy stared at both the boys with a shocked look on her face. Shouldn't Natsu of called Gray an 'ice pick' or 'stripper' or one of Gray's many nicknames? Guess the holidays really do change people for the better, even if it is for a little while, Lucy thought to herself. She looked back over at Erza, who was now seated back down at the bar.

"So it's settled then correct? We'll be attending this party that Fairy Tail is having?" Ultear smiled softly as Jellal finally joined her and Meredy.

"Wait, I agreed to go?" Jellal yawned.

"Actually Jelly," Meredy smiled, and Jellal simply lowered his brows and stared at her blankly, "Ul and I agreed to go because we want you to be with Erza-chan. We know you love her and we want you both to be happy with one another."

His blank expression turned into a heartfelt smile. He was glad these two women cared about him so much that they wanted him to be happy. Guess it is just about time I accept the fact that I need Erza in my life...

Author's note: So the second part of this three-shot is finished. Tomorrow I'll upload the final part and you guys will finally get to see if Jellal and Erza get together and how well the whole party goes (and you all know Fairy Tail). Anyway, I hope you all are enjoying this so far because I'm having a lot of fun writing it. After the third part, I won't update for a while because of the holidays but look for my return in January.
