Thank you for all the suggestions! I have chosen an upcoming Disney movie, so in a few years, people may actually know what I'm referring to. All quotes belong to Disney.

One PM. Jellal was waiting in front of the movie theater. He paced around, occasionally checking the time on his phone. A few minutes after one, he saw a flash of her familiar scarlet hair. He waited patiently for her to walk towards him.

"Hi," he said. He gave a quick glance at her outfit: black hoodie, jeans, and brown boots. "You... uhh... look nice?"

"Thanks...?" she replied. Jellal noticed that her response was a bit cautious, like she didn't trust him.

"What movie you wanna watch?" he asked as they began walking to get their tickets.

Erza shrugged. "It doesn't matter to me."

"Next!"

They moved up to the booth. The lady behind the transparent wall gave them a smile.

"Two tickets for Beauty and the Beast," he said.

"$27.38."

Jellal slid the money under the screen and in return, the lady gave him the tickets.

"Enjoy the show! Next!"

"I'll pay you back," Erza said.

"No, it's okay. I got it," he replied. "You want something to eat?"

"I'm fine."

"You sure? I'm still getting something."

"Go ahead."

So, Jellal walked up to the counter and asked for a medium popcorn and a small Coke.

"$12.46."

Before he could place the money on the counter, Erza slapped down twenty dollar bill. He opened his mouth to say something to the cashier, but he had already turned away and started to get the snacks.

"Thank you! Enjoy the show!" the cashier grinned as he handed back the change.

"You didn't have to pay. I have money, you know," he remarked as they wandered down the halls, trying to find the correct room.

He got a shrug and something that sounded like, "I promised to pay back."

They entered the room and found seats near the back. After enduring 15 minutes of advertisements, the movie began.

Once upon a time, in a faraway land...

To be honest, Jellal wasn't really interested in the movie. He saw it with his cousin awhile back and really didn't feel like watching it a second time. Instead, he stared at the screen and ate his popcorn. Halfway through the movie, he glanced at Erza. She didn't look so scary, now that he thought about it. Her head was resting on her arm,which she had propped up on the armrest. Her hair hung down like curtain and she looked so intrigued by the movie. Even though he couldn't see her face, she seemed calm and relaxed. It was almost cute. Almost.

He turned back to the movie.

Try the gray stuff, it's delicious! Don't believe me? Ask the dishes!

The movie ended and Jellal had finished his popcorn and soda ages ago. Erza was still in her seat, in the same position.

"Erza," he whispered. There was no response so he tried again.

"Erza!"

Silence.

"Erza!" This time, he gently shook her.

All of a sudden, she jolted up and she hit his arm.

"Oh! S-sorry!" Even in the dark theater, he could tell that her face was red.

"Were you sleeping?" he asked.

"... Yes?" she quietly answered. "Sorry! I didn't mean to- I mean- Argh!"

She seemed flustered, so he didn't pry.

"It's okay. We should go."

"Yeah..."

They left the theater and stood outside, enjoying the sunshine.

'What are we going to do now?" Erza asked. "Or you just wanted watch the movie?"

"I had nothing planned after," he admitted. "Arcade?"

From what he could tell, she was having a debate with herself. To go or not to go?

"I should really go..." she slowly said. "I have some homework to do."

"Oh, okay. See you around?"

"Yeah, sure..." she replied, as she pulled out her phone from her pocket and began dialing someone. "Cana, can you pick me up?"

"Bye."

"Hey, is it bad that Erza fell asleep during the movie?"

"She fell asleep?" "WHAT?!" "Are you kidding me?" More shouts of disbelief from his friends.

"Yeah. That's bad, isn't it?"

"From my experience, when the girl falls asleep, it means she's tired," Sting volunteered.

"Gee, Sting, I mean, I didn't know that before!" Jellal answered, his voice dripping heavily with sarcasm.

"Maybe the movie was boring," Rogue suggested.

"No way! You guys watched the Disney one, right?" Gray asked.

"Yeah."

"She loves Disney. No way would she fall asleep during that!"

"Aye! Remember in elementary school? If anybody badmouthed Disney, she would kill them!" Natsu exclaimed.

"You should make it up to her, ya know," Sting said. "Yukino gets mad when she misses out on something, so maybe Erza'll be the same."

"How am I supposed to make it up to her? Anyways, I finished the dare already. I don't need to do anything else."

"No new game then."

"I can get it myself."

"No special content."

"I can buy that myself."

"You got $200 to spare?"

"Do you?"

"Of course! My dad's CEO of the electricity company!"

"Just so we're clear, you're okay with spending $200 on me? Just so Erza can "fall in love" with me?"

"Girlfriend's bugging me; I gotta do something."

"Guys? You have other friends," Gray interjected.

Sting and Jellal ignored his words and carried on with their conversation.

"Jelly Man, if you can get her by December 31st, I'll get you the game and special content."

"No time frame. We had the deal all set up already. And don't call me Jelly Man."

"Okay, Jelly Man. I'll toss in $20."

"Deal. She'll be mine by December 31st."

Tuesday afternoon. Jellal waited under the same sakura tree he had seen Erza under last week. He made it his new goal to sit with her every Tuesday, just so he had more chances to talk to her and get to know her better.

Where is she?

A few minutes passed and he flipped open to a random page in his notebook. He glanced down at the blank page, so it seemed like he was studying. Several people passed by and gave him weird looks.

"What are you doing here?"

Sorry for super late update. Fanfiction is not very high on my priorities list right now.
