CHAPTER 4

"What was that explosion about Gray?"I asked Gray, cluelessly.I was worried because Natsu and Happy were there and if Natsu was there then some damage was sure to happen. Gray stood up and opened the tent."Let's take an umbrella and go and check out, together…"He held out his hand and I grabbed it and stood up. We took one umbrella each and then went out. There was smoke rising in the air and we rushed towards it.

I was utterly disappointed and a little bit relieved too when I knew who wrecked havoc in there. It was Natsu of course! And the reason he gave was so lame that for once you'll feel like giving him a slap but the other moment you wanna laugh at it. He said that he and Happy were catching fish and they found a big one. They decided to roast it and then there was some problem, and the fish blew up and believe it or not Natsu said all this with a grin on his face. Gray found a good reason then to start a fight with him. I pulled both of them with the collar and took them back to the campsite.

"The weather doesn't seem like it's gonna clear now. It'll go on like this for at least today "Gray said looking up at the sky. He's good at prediction of weather and they're most of the time true. But I guess Natsu didn't think so."Oh really Mr. Smarty Pants….you think you're intelligent."Natsu said with a smirk."Oh shut up squinty…you don't know anything and I'm way better than you…"Natsu was really angry to hear this and he pushed Gray so hard that he landed on the floor next to me. This fight continued for 10 minutes and then I lost my temper and gave them both a slap."Stop it!You're making me crazy with this fight. Can't you both behave more like humans than animals?"And I really meant what I said .Whenever the two of them were fighting they both were like two wild animals out of control."We're sorry Erza….We really are."Then Gray went towards his bag and took out something."Here this is for you open it and see inside. You can take it as an apology."I took it from him and had a peek at his face. His cheeks were red, probably from fighting. I opened the packing. It was a cute, stuffed white colored cat. And the best part was the name of the cat on its tag was Erza. It was

such a beautiful gift."Th-thanks Gray. You really didn't have to get it. But still it's beautiful. I'll cherish it."I hugged the cat.

That night while I was in my bed, I was feeling cold. I took out the cat Gray had given me and held it close to me. Suddenly I felt so warm…it was probably because of the feelings conveyed through the cat.
