After the whole ordeal with Libra, Taurus, and Sagittarius; she continued her way through the maze. The words from the cat still scared her.

"Whenever he's around, he always manages to scare me." she said angrily "But still...what does he mean by the Queen? Is there something I should know about her?" she wondered.

As she was walking, she didn't notice the pile of shields in front of her. She was so in thought she didn't notice what was happening. Because of that, she tripped over them, scattering the shields everywhere.

"Kyaaa!" she screamed as landed on the pile of shields and in the middle of a train session between two swordsmen. "Wh...What is this?"

These two swordsmen are fighting, duking it out, practicing different techniques on each other. One of the swordsman was reequipping themselves throughout the whole session. The other used their blade, still in its sheath.

"Oh my, they both look so powerful, I wonder if their the knights of this kingdom." she thought. As she watched the battle continue, something dawned onto Aries. She noticed the one reequipping themselves and thought "Is...Is that Erza-chan?" Aries knew only one person who can use that ability.

As the battle came to an end, both swordsmen, no, women took their helmets off.

"Oh my...it is Erza-chan! And who was just fighting her?" Aries looked at the other swordswomen. IT was Kagura. "Wait...Kagura-san? but isn't she from Mermaid Heel?" Aries wondered. She only knew who Kagura was because of Millianna, a member of Mermaid Heel and a good friend of hers. Millianna told Aries stories about Kagura. Aries never met Kagura in person, but was described to her by Millianna.

"That was a wonderful fight Kagura. Your sword technique has improved from our last training session." Erza congratulated. "It still needs some working on, but it was definitely amazing."

"Thank you Erza. Your reequipping skills have become quicker than before. It's amazing how fast you changed from one weapon to another." Kagura complimented.

"Thank you very much Kagura, your words are enough of a reward for me." Erza smiled.

A referee came by to congratulate both girls on a job well done during their training. "Wonderful job ladies. Both your skills have highly improved since the last time." said the blue haired ref.

Erza started to blush "Th-Thank you Jellal, those are very kind words." she quickly turned away. Kagura watched as she giggled at Erza's shyness towards Jellal.

"Well I'm going to head back and refresh myself. I'll leave you two alone. I'll see you back at in our room later Erza!" Kagura smiled as she walked away.

"W-Wait! Kagura!" Erza tried to stop Kagura before she was left alone with Jellal.

"Oh my...I guess Jellal-san is here too..." Aries blushed as she hid herself among the pile of shields, trying to not make a sound to alert Erza. Aries knows how keen Erza can be.

"Well I guess it's just us." Jellal smiled as he looked at the scarlet haired warrior. He was infatuated with this women very much, but wasn't sure if she loved him either. He didn't want to ruin anything between the two, so he kept it to himself. He did however would hint it every so often though.

Obviously Erza liked Jellal very much. They were childhood best friends. They met when their parents were the knights of this kingdom. Over the years they got to know each other more and more throughout the years. Soon, Erza became the next Knight of the kingdom, while Jellal is still in training to become a knight. Kagura took the spot of the second knight due to her magnificent swordsmen skills.

"S-So Jellal...u-um...how is your t-training going Freed?" Erza asked shyly as she played with her hair.

~~=w=~~

Freed was a part of an upper force for the kingdom. Raijinshū, the thunder knights. Lauxs Dreyar, the leader of the group, Freed Justice, Evergreen and Bickslow. They are in charge of all the protection in the kingdom, each in charge of their own section.

Freed is in charge of the knights. He trains and teaches new and old knights to learn to protect the kingdom in anyway.

Evergreen, has control over the air. By this, she is able to fly in the air, surveilling the skies of all activity that happens in the kingdom. She trains those she sees that can handle the duty of surveilling the sky, and can remember what they find.

Bickslow trains those who magic. There are knights that can use magic to protect the kingdom. Bickslow must teach new knights who can't control their magic yet.

Lauxs is the head knight, the head guard. He, himself uses lighting dragon magic and has a very high combat level. His hand to hand combat skills are exceptional and his magic is strong. His magic allows him to transform into a dragon (of sorts...he's still a human with dragon scales) and protect during high state of emergency.

This group is very high up and are the King and Queens personal guards.

~~=w=~~

"Everything is going great. I'm learning more and more to become a knight like you. Freed is even teaching me how to fence. He thinks I have potential to learn it quickly." Jellal smiled. "He has told me, if I continue training the way I am, I will reach knightly hood very quickly" he said excitably, he'll be closer to Erza that way.

"That sounds wonderful Jellal, I'm so happy for you." Erza smile. She walks back to her position and requips one of her swords. "Care to show me your training?" she asked with a smirk on her face.

Jellal giggled as he picked up one of the swords Kaurga was using and got into stance. "I would be glad to."

"On guard!" he yelled as he spirited over to Erza, who blocked his attack. They continues fighting.

"Wow, Freed was right, you are exceptional" Erza praised.

"You aren't too bad yourself, beautiful" Jellal smiled

Jellal's comment made Erza blush and trip a little, causing her to fall over him.

(This Erza is clumpy and bashful as hell towards Jellal in this XD it's so fun making her like this!)

She was on top of him, looked down at Jellal, blushing like crazy. "Di-Did he just call me beautiful?" she thought.

"Did I surprise you Erza?" Jellal chuckled as he managed to pull himself up, then put himself on top of her.

Her Armor disappeared (it's a part of her requip magic :P) revealing a dress she was wearing before. She blushed like crazy. "I...I um..." she was stuck on words.

Jellal looked at the disarmed Erza below him. "You look beautiful Erza, even more beautiful than ever." he said as he slowly leaned towards her.

"I...I.." Erza still stuck on words, she sees him coming towards her. She throws her arms around him and pulls him closer.

While this was all happening, Aries was still hiding under the shields! (I'm surprised she didn't run away yet 0w0) "Oh my..." she started to blush, but she tried to stay still to make sure they wouldn't notice her.

As the two became closer and closer, words were mumbled, but understandable.

"I...I love you...Jellal..."

"Erza...I love you too.."

They become closer, and they kiss.

"That's so cute! The Erza-san I know wouldn't do that ever...she seem embarrassed if that ever happened." Aries thought as she remembered everything she seen from Erza back home.

The two release each other and look at one another, happily. From a far, Kagura actually stayed and watched. "Finally, these two showed their feelings" as she happily smiled and walked away.

As Aries saw they get up, so figured she'd reveal herself, by making it seem like she just got there.

"Wahhh!" Aries yelled as she throw some of the shields up as she made it look like she fell.

The two knights sees and hears Aries and gets up quickly and sees if she was alright.

"Are you alright young miss?" Erza asked as she ran over to her.

Jellal picked up all the shields above Aries to free her from the large amount of metal. "Are you alright?" he asked.

"Y-Yea...I'm fine...I just didn't see where I was going...I'm sorry..." she apologized, happy they didn't notice she was there before.

"Don't be, we were training all day" Erza told her "And it seems we didn't notice the mess we were making." she said as she pulled up the ram.

Once Aries got up and dusted herself off, she introduced herself, knowing they wouldn't know who she was, especially Jellal. "I am Aries, Aries the Ram, pleased to meet you." she smiled as she curtsied.

"I am S Class, Knight Erza Scarlet"

"And I am Jellal Fernandes, Knight in training"

Both bowed to her.

"What are you doing around here Ms. Aries? I didn't think anyone would be wondering the maze today." Jellal asked.

"Oh I heard about the roses that were in bloom today and I wanted to see them." she said as she used the same excuse. "And also...because I have a friend that ran through here and I was trying to find him..." she added "I figured since I was here, I should look at the roses. I simply adore them" she smiled.

"Oh I see, well if you're looking for the roses, they're that way. This is the way to the knight cabins." Erza replied.

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't know" she apologized. "Thank you for understanding" Aries bowed. "I guess I'll head over too them now. Thank you again" she smiled as she waved to them and walked back the way she came.

"You are very welcome. I wish you the best of luck in finding your friend. This place is very big." Erza shouted as she waved Aries good bye.

As Aries walked away, Erza turned to Jellal. "Do you think she saw what just happened?" Erza asked, slightly worried.

"Hmmmmm I don't think she did. She did say she wasn't looking where she was going and there was a shield that landed above her face. I highly doubt she saw anything" Jellal smiled as he kissed the blushing Erza's cheek.

Erza blushed more, becoming as red as her scarlet hair. "Oh...Oh! Alright...t-that's good then..." she was very embarrassed.

The bell started to ring. It was getting late and it was time for the knights to gather in the dining hall for an announcement.

"I-I guess it's time for me to go..." she blushed as she requipped all of the weapons back together, revealing a clean lawn. "I-I'll see you around again Jellal..." she said as she began to walk.

"How about later tonight for a dinner with me? Around sundown? I'll pick you up" Jellal asked boldly.

Erza blushed and turned around smiling. "A-Alright. I'd like that" she said as she kissed his cheek. Right after she ran away quickly back to her cabin with Kagura.

Jellal chuckled. "That Erza, she always surprises you. Perfect." Jellal started to think about his date with Erza later that night and thought "Maybe I can ask Hatter Leo of one of his love pendants I heard so much about. I wonder if he'll make me one."

Erza smiled as she found herself back in her cabin, with an excited Kagura waiting for her to return. "Sooooo, how'd it go? What happened between you and Jellal?" Kagura asking a million questions.

Erza looked around the room, twirling her hair (she never does that XD) then finally mustered up the courage to say "H-He...We kissed... after our practice fight...he landed on me...and kissed me...then asked me to have dinner with him later tonight..." said as she fiddled with her fingers.

Kagura has never seen this side of Erza before. Erza is always cool, calm, collected, and is usually oblivious to these kind of things. Many of the knights in the kingdom have tried to win Erza's heart, but never succeed in winning her affection. She has only seen her like this when it came to Jellal.

"Erza! That's wonderful! Do you know what you're going to wear?" Kagura asking in excitement.

"We-Well I...ummm.." Erza was quickly cut off.

"Come with me! We're gonna make you look amazing! We'll have Cancer do your hair and everything, and I know the perfect place to get your dress" Kagura smiled as she dragged the blushing Erza with her. After all Kagura cared dearly for her big sister's happiness.

Well this went by smoothly. Anyway, here we are, the chapter complete. I really wanna know what you guys think of this. I feel like it's getting harder to come up with stuff. I'm lucky to have my friend help me think of somethings, but I really wanna know what you guys think. Anyway, here you have it, the Jerza chapter! Enjoy! 3
