It's been forever! So much school work for the first week in school! =(

Finally! To all Jerza fans, I present to you the one and only...JERZA CHAPTER! (P.S. This is the part where you clap and cheer! You in the back need to whistle.)

Yes, EVERYONE has asked me to put in Jerza. No, I'm not a hater of it, I ship this, but it's getting on my nerves that EVERYONE wants me to do one. (No, I don't hate you guys, okay?) Er...quick thanks to TheOneMagic and BeaverGoesRawr! Appreciate the corrections and suggestions! If you didn't know, Mr. Beaver suggested Yuri. To keep the universe balanced, I had to add it since we read yaoi. It needs to cancel out...sort of like dividing by zero. Just to get the record straight, I hate both yuri and yaoi. They just can get funny, no?

More news: The whole Crime Sorciere guild will be added. It will be weird if everyone wasn't there... Plus, I'm starting new thing called the Secret Action Contest! There will be a secret action thing. Preform it and you win! But for now, here's chapter 11!

x.X.x

Jellal jumped onto Lucy's bed covers and looked around. Looks of shock and confusion were all pointed at him. He chuckled and smiled at everyone.

"Jellal...what are you doing here?" Erza asked.

"Hey, Ultear! Meredy! Hurry up!" Jellal said. Ultear and Meredy's heads popped up.

"Er...we're here?" Ultear asked.

"We better be! Jellal, my feet hurt!" Meredy whined, she said as she pulled herself up on the windowsill.

"You still haven't answered my question," Erza retorted.

"Jellal had a little mess-up and showed his face to everyone in Crocus. And the council heard and the city went on lock-down. So we were trapped in there. We snuck to the city gates to try and escape. I possessed the guards' minds and got us out of there. Then, we ran through the mountains to Magnolia to look for Erza, because Jellal knew that she would hide us for a while. I transformed us into normal people and began to search for Erza. Jellal spotted her heading with Gray to here. Jellal got us lost though and we were lost for almost and hour until Meredy found the apartment building and climbed up into the window where we spotted Erza," Ultear explained.

"You guys are crazy," Lucy sighed.

"Who are they?" Rogue asked.

"Have you ever heard of the escapee Jellal Fernadez?" Erza said as she began to explain.

"Lily, its your turn," Gray said. Lily nodded and sat down at the computer screen scrolling around for a story.

"Hey, do you guys have anything to eat? We haven't eaten in about two days now!" Meredy asked.

"How could you be so happy about that?!" Levy said.

"It is around lunch time. Why don't we all eat together?" Lucy said.

"Yeah! Food!" Natsu and Gray said. With the help of Mira, Lucy took out the sandwiches, chips, and bottled water. Mira took out the cookies and milk for the Excced.

"Yum! Did you make them yourself?" Wendy asked.

"I'd rather not answer that question," Lucy sweatdropped.

"Lily? Do you want something to eat?" Mira asked.

"No, thank you. I found a story though," Lily said. Everyone finished what they were chewing and looked at the monitor.

Sky and Strawberries

"Strawberry Cake!" Erza exclaimed. Her eyes sparkled as she imagined a luscious fluffy piece of it. Everyone else sweatdropped.

Author: The-pasta-alchemist

Jellal wants to do something special for Erza after she comes back from a long job… So why not bake her favorite meal- Strawberry cake! One problem: Jellal has never cooked a thing in his life! With help from an excited Mira and Wendy, will he be able to pull it off? Or will it be a recipe for disaster? Did I mention Jellal's has a ring too? A one-shot.

"You're going to marry Erza?!" Mira yelled. Erza was too busy yelling at a scared Lucy to get strawberry cake that she didn't noticed. On the other hand, Jellal was blushing madly, thinking of a certain incident.

"But Erza, the bakery is on the other side of town!" Lucy complained.

"Then why can't you just have it delivered here?" Erza yelled.

"Erza, please calm down," Wendy said, "We'll go get your cake after the story, right Lucy?"

"Yes, of course!" Lucy said, her heart beat slowing down to a normal pace. Erza glared at the girls, but listened to the rest of the story.

"You are such a dense person," Gray said.

Summary: Jellal wants to do something special for Erza after she comes back from a long job… So why not bake her favorite meal- Strawberry cake! One problem: Jellal has never cooked a thing in his life! With help from an excited Mira and Wendy, will he be able to pull it off? Or will it be a recipe for disaster? Did I mention Jellal's has a ring too?

"So this Jellal guy is Erza's boyfriend or something?" Sting asked, not knowing the complicated relationship they both had.

"N-NO!" both of them yelled at the same time, madly blushing. Erza was feeling a little light-headed.

"Fufu, they're so bad at lying," Ultear whispered to Meredy, who was trying hard to keep her giggles in.

"But then again, they're not technically that kind of couple," Meredy said.

It was a cold, uninviting, frosty winter day in Magnolia town. The air was stiff, and snow covered most of the sidewalk. It resided on the roofs and gutters of the houses and stores, continuing to fall lightly. A small pathway was made in the cobblestone street for carts and cars, but most things (and people) around town were under a blanket of shimmering white. The sky was clear, only dotted with a few fluffy, grey clouds.

Jellal walked out the front door of a small corner jewelry store, quickly buttoning his navy blue coat and pulling the hood over his head. Damn it was cold. The bells on the glass door jingled as it closed, but were overshadowed but the laughing of a couple of young children that ran past the former fugitive.

Yes, that's right- former fugitive. Jellal had been free of any charges against him since three years ago, after the end of the grand magic games. After a few heroic deeds and a talk with the government explaining his situation, they had stopped chasing him and the rest of Crime Sorcière. Not to mention that Erza had scared the shit out of everyone in the magic council and threatened to cut them with her heavens wheel armor if they didn't let him go free.

"I'm still...a...fugitive though," Jellal said.

"So are we..." Ultear and Meredy sweatdropped.

"I'm sure we'll bail you out soon," Levy said.

"Juvia is sure that Juvia will help Meredy!" Juvia exclaimed, holding Meredy's hands.

After that, Jellal didn't have any reason to hide anymore. So he, Ultear and Meredy had decided to join Fairy Tail, who had resumed the number one position in Fiore again after the games had ended.

"That's great!" Erza said.

It took time getting use to the guild, and Magnolia as a whole, especially since they were all so rowdy. But everyone was really nice, and Fairy Tail was like the family he never had. And heck, after everything he's been through, Jellal deserved it, even if he didn't think so himself.

The area around him was bustling with people, and was quite loud. People of all ages were shopping, eating and talking in the busy marketplace, barley taking notice of him. It was, after all, just a few weeks after the holidays, and everyone was rushing to get some last minute sales. Including Jellal. Never in his life did he think that he would be shopping in public trying to snag himself a good deal. But here he was, coming out of a jewelry store with a sour look on his tattooed face.

"What kind of ring did you get?" Mira squealed.

"We're not getting married," Jellal sighed.

"Juvia wants Gray-sama to get a ring for Juvia!" Juvia cried.

"Oi! Don't get me into this!" Gray said. If Juvia starts having more crazy visions in her head again, something bad was going to happen to him and usually Lucy.

What the hell am I doing? The blue haired man shoved his hands in his pockets and continued walking down the icy street, avoiding a large dog pulling a small child on a sled.

"Getting married!" Mira said.

"I told you. We are not getting married," Jellal growled.

"Gray-sama, please get a beautiful blue ring for me!" Juvia sparkled.

"Oh, God. More annoying crap AGAIN!" Gray said, covering his ears.

She's going to be home soon and I still didn't find anything.

He sighed, an icy breath escaping his mouth. Shifting through all of these strangers, trying to get a glimpse of something in a window…it wasn't really his thing. Jellal defiantly wasn't a people person, but he was someone that liked to make his nakama smile, especially when that nakama was Erza.

"I told you they liked each other, Mira!" Happy said.

"You told Mira that?! We don't even like each other!" Erza said, grabbing the blue Exceed by the tail.

"You admitted it!" Mira squealed.

"May I continue?" Pantherlily said.

"Oi! Let my cat read, you bastards!" Gajeel yelled.

She had done so many things for him, and getting her a special gift was something he had his heart set on. Jellal had also been away on a job during the holidays, and was unable to spend Christmas with her, even though he promised that he would. A snowstorm had prevented the trains from running, and he had been stuck in the station all throughout the last five days of December. Fun, huh? Jellal didn't think so. In fact, he felt seriously guilty about it. Now that he was back in Magnolia, he felt the need to do something to make up for the lost time.

Erza would be back tonight from a job that she took, and he still couldn't find anything that really caught his eye. Actually, a lot of things caught his eye. If Erza was with him, he was sure that she would have picked up a ton of stuff by now. Lockets, books, suitcases, scented candles, magic mirrors…she would have bought it all. But Jellal was looking for something unique, something out of the ordinary.

"Get me cake, Jellal! Strawberry cake!" Erza thundered.

"Erza, please calm down," Wendy cried. Lucy was holding back a very enraged Erza trying to keep her from destroying things.

Something no one else would have, or at least something that she would remember.

Maybe such a thing didn't exist, because Jellal was going out of his mind.

"IT'S STRAWBERRY CAKE, YOU IDIOT!" Erza screamed. Lucy was barely keeping her from going out of control.

"Levy! Please go get five strawberry cakes! And hurry!" Lucy screamed over Erza. Levy scrambled out the door accompanied by Wendy and Charle.

"You shouldn't call your fiancé an idiot, Erza," Mira said.

"We're...not getting married..." Jellal face palmed.

Sure, he knew Erza would just be happy to see his face, whether or not he got her a gift, but Jellal wanted to surprise her with something. Or at least try to, because at this rate, the only thing he was getting was more stressed.

Then he saw it.

Of course, why didn't he think of that before? It was like the snow was clogging up his brain or something.

"FINALLY! GET THE CAKE, BASTARD!" Erza yelled, trying to squirm out of the blonde celestial mage grasp.

"Help...me..." Lucy gasped as she held back Erza. Natsu and Gray rushed over to help Lucy, grabbing one of her arms and putting it against the wall. Sting and Rogue held down her legs. Lucy stepped away and took a breather.

"Never help a fairy, eh?" Natsu smirked.

"Oh, shut up! She'll kill us all if we don't!" Sting growled.

"Such is the your fate against the enraged Titania," Gray muttered. Rogue seemed amused at this conversation.

"Don't call your fiancé a bastard, Erza," Mira said.

"We. Are. Not. Getting. Married," Jellal growled, grinding his teeth.

The light mage quickened his pace and crossed the street, being careful not to slide on the ice patches that scattered the road. He then opened the door to 'Oliver's Bakery' and slipped inside, making sure not to drag in a ridiculous amount of snow with him. Although it was hard not to, being that the flakey white stuff stuck to his boots and refused to melt. As soon as Jellal stepped inside the small pastry shop, he was hit with a nice blast of warm air.

Well that feels good!

He closed his eyes for a moment, feeling his nose starting to defrost. It was wicked cold outside, and so far this was the only store that seemed to have a lacrima heater.Thank goodness. The shop itself was tiny, and there were only about four people inside, so it was very quiet. That's a relief, now maybe now I can relax a bit. Round wooden tables lined the large windows that were spread out across the front of the bakery, so everyone who was eating had a view of the town. Checkered red tablecloths and two small candles lay on top of each of the tables, creating a relaxing atmosphere. Soft music played in the background, and the clean floor was made of reddish-brown tiles.

"Doesn't the bakery look different? Pink walls and white tiles?" Laxus asked.

"You know Fanfiction. Always making up stuff that aren't true," Mira said.

"May I please read the rest?" Pantherlily said.

"Don't you dare piss my cat!" Gajeel roared. Everyone nodded. An angry Erza was enough.

The counter was in the back of the shop, and under it was a large glass display case filled with cakes and sweets of all kinds and colors. Wedding cakes, chocolate cookies, fudge squares, candied fruit…Jellal made a mental note to come back by himself one day, because everything looked so good. But, today there was only one dessert he was interested in. There! The light mage spotted a tray of them next to a box of white sugar pretzels. Jellal walked up to the cash register to where an elderly man sat on top of a high stool behind the counter.

"Umm…hi, can I have one large strawberry cake please?"

Erza drooled. "GIVE ME MY DAMN CAKE!"

"Okay, okay! Levy and Wendy will get you your cake!" Gray said.

"Calm down, Erza!" Natsu groaned, trying to hold down her arm. Erza tried a new tactic, changing into different types of armor. One of them pinched Sting's skin, which made him wince in pain. She almost got free, but Sting grabbed hold just in time.

The old man raised an eyebrow and then asked, "To stay or to go?"

"The man in the bakery is quite young, though," Mira said.

"To go please."

"Is this for a special occasion or a gift?"

"Errr…a gift."

"Who should I address it to?"

Jellal paused, and then replied, "To miss Erza Scarlet please."

The man nodded slowly and then grumbled, "Scarlet huh…" before jumping off the high stool and taking one of the red and white cakes from the glass case. He then opened up a double white door behind the counter and headed to what looked like the kitchen.

"Jellal? Is that you?"

Jellal turned around to see none other than Mirajane, sitting at a small table by the window, eating what looked like a crème brûlee. The barmaid was wearing a long, button-down pink coat with red heeled boots. A pair of white cloves were hung over the back of her chair, and her silvery hair was done up the way it normally was. Truthfully, Jellal had never seen her outside Fairy Tail; she was always busy tending to the guild members.

"You've never seen me outside Fairy Tail?" Mira questioned, "Why I do get out sometimes!"

"Mira, this is about the third time you've seen us," Meredy said. Ultear shot her a scary look that could almost best hers. Almost.

"Oh, right!" Mira bubbled. She always kept her bubbly personality anywhere she went.

"Mira!" He blinked in surprise and walked over to her, wondering why the heck she was here by herself. Mira was a social person, and eating alone in a small bakery was very unlike her.

"What are you doing here?" He asked. Mira took the small spoon out of her mouth and placed it on the napkin beside her dessert. "Oh I'm just waiting for my date, master let me off duty early today and Kinana's taking care of the bar…but I think the real question is why are you here?" Mira took a strand of her long hair and twirled it with her finger, giving Jellal a taunting look. "Getting some cake for Erza, huh?"

"Yes Mira, I'm getting some cake for Erza." Jellal sighed, hoping the take-over mage wasn't going to tease him or ask him a million questions. Although, he knew that was probably coming.

"That's wonderful, Jellal! Great present for your new wife!" Mira said.

"Erza and I are not going to get married," Gerard growled. He was getting pissed from all of Mira's "marriage" comments and was ready to go all meteor on her.

"Really? That's sweet. Are you going to surprise her with it when she gets back?"

"I'm going to try to, although it's hard to surprise someone like her. She's always on high alert, you know?" He hadn't really thought about the surprise part. Would something like that work on her? He doubted it.

Mirajane nodded slowly, taking another spoonful of her crème brûlee. "Ummm…hmmm…." She eyed him curiously, and it looked as though she was thinking hard on what Jellal had just said. What is she up too? Suddenly she froze and her eyes went wide. The silver-haired mage jumped out of her chair and faced Jellal. "I got it!" She squealed. He took a step back, surprised, nearly knocking over the coat rack in the corner.

"W-what is it?"

"Instead of buying her a cake, why don't we make one for her?"

"Mirajane, I don't even know how to cook, and besides, I already ordered a cake for Erza."

Jellal knew that if Mira interfered, things would get more than just a little hectic.

"Sir, your cake is ready!"

The little old man hopped back up on his stool, and placed a brown package tied with a red string on top of the counter, waving at Jellal.

The light mage shot a glance at Mira that read 'Please don't mess with this!' before heading over to the cash register to pick up Erza's dessert.

The little old man handed Jellal the box and said, "That will be 700 jewel please."

700 jewel? No wonder Erza came here so often, the food was seriously cheap!

Jellal reached down into his coat and shifted his hand around in his pockets before pulling out seven gold coins and giving them to the man. He thanked the man and took the package, placing it inside his coat to protect it from the frigid weather outside.

"And you take care of that Scarlet girl, ya hear me? She's a good customer of mine." The old man replied to Jellal's thank you and teasingly pointed a finger at the blue-haired mage. Jellal smiled warmly and nodded, heading for the door.

"There used to be an old guy. But he retired and now there's a new one," Mira said.

"I don't think anyone cares, Mira," Laxus said.

"Why don't you then?" Mira said, with her infamous glare. Laxus paled, praying that she didn't go in demon-mode right now.

Present for Erza-check!

It wasn't exactly as original as he wanted, but this cake was one of Erza's favorite things in the whole world. It would make her happy, and that was what mattered, right?

"Wait!"

Jellal turned around to see Mirajane, leaned over the counter and facing the little old man. "Yes, young lady?" The man raised an eyebrow at the pretty takeover mage.

"You have the recipe for that strawberry cake, don't you? I mean, you made it, didn't you?"

The man shifted back in his seat a bit. "Yes…and yes… But, that's not a recipe I give out to just anyone." He turned his face away from the silver-haired girl and crossed his arms. "You'll have to come back at least ten more times to get that one outta me!"

Mira gave the man a pouty look. "Awwww come on Mr. Oliver, you know I'll keep a secret! I promise!"

The barmaid continued to argue with the poor old man while Jellal was doing his best to slip out of the shop unnoticed.

Got to get to the door. Got to get out of here.

"Oh Jellal~!"

Crap.

"Sorry, Jellal," Lucy said, "But, don't get Mira mad or that might happen." Lucy pointed to the situation Erza was in. She was changing from her Lightning Empress Armor to...her bunny suit. Looks like she was trying everything.

"How about this!" Erza gasped, running out of magic energy. She put on her Heaven's Wheel Armor which pierced everyone's skin. They all let go of her while Erza charged at the first person in sight which was Gajeel.

"Iron Dragon's Roar!" he yelled, which surprised Erza. After all the commotion there was a dent in her wall.

"My apartment! The landlady will kill me!" Lucy cried.

The light mage was halfway outside when Mirajane ran over to him, a cutesy smile on her face. "I couldn't talk that recipe out of the old geezer, but we got the cake itself, so that should be enough to figure out how to make it ourselves."

"What? No Mira, I'm taking this cake home to Erza and that's that. Now if you'll excuse me-"

Jellal pushed past the barmaid, now thoroughly annoyed. He then proceeded to pull his hood over his head when he felt a hand grab his arm.

"But what about the ring?"

Jellal froze for a second, his eyes wide, but then whipped around to face Mirajane.

What the hell is wrong with this girl?

"What did you say?" Mira said innocently. Too innocent.

"N-Nothing," Jellal stammered.

"How did you know about that?"

Mira smiled and winked. "That's a secret! But anyhow… if we bake that cake ourselves, it would be extra special! I'm a great cook, and an enhanced version of Erza's favorite cake would make her even happier! She'll have to marry you!"

Jellal continued to pull the hood over his head. "Sorry, but Erza's not the type of girl who's going to marry me because of worldly possessions or food. She's going to marry me because of who I am, not some cake."

"It's not even about that! Trust me! Erza loves my cooking and it would make her really happy!"

Jellal sighed and was going to open the door again, unaware that the little old man was watching them.

"Hey you two!"

He's going to kick us out of the shop, isn't he? God, I hope we'll be allowed back.

"Yes?" Mira blinked, and it seemed as though she and Jellal were thinking the same exact thing, being that Mira put on her most innocent smile.

"Ya see this here?" The old man held up a small container of what looked like pink sugar. It sparkled as he shook the can and placed it on the counter. "As a regular costumer of mine, I always take special requests from the Scarlet girl. Every time she comes here, she tells me to put a bit of this into her cake batter. It's a magic sugar that takes on and enhances the flavor of the fruit in cakes and pies."

"So that's why the cakes are really good there," Lucy said.

"What cake? Strawberry cake?" Erza said, looking around.

"Erza's back to normal!" Happy yelled.

"What happened? Why is there a giant dent in the wall?" Erza asked.

"Er...can you please help us though?" Rogue said, who was trying to stop the bleeding in his hand. So were the the other two dragon slayers and the ice mage. They seemed to be deeper than everyone thought.

"We'll have to wait for Wendy," Lucy said, "Oh, and Levy too. She's bringing some strawberry cake."

"That's great!" Erza said her eyes sparkling. Images of the yummy desert entered her mind.

"Amazing!" Mira's eyes twinkled as she ran up to the man and grabbed the sugar, placing it in her pocket.

A magic sugar huh?...

"But, it will only work if you cook it in inside the cake. Sprinkling it on top of one that's already made would only make it go sour."

"Not a problem sir!" Mira turned around and gave a "Thumbs up" to Jellal, an excited smile spread out across her face. "Let's go back to the guild! The kitchens calling my name!"

Jellal mentally face-palmed. Here we go again. Mira was always interfering with their relationship and forcing them into crazy situations. She was a good friend, but sometimes she went to extremes. The last time she came up with an idea…his face turned red just thinking about it. Maybe, just maybe this time wouldn't turn out to be a disaster.

Ha. Nope, this was defiantly going to turn into something completely ridiculous.

"Wait a second….didn't you have a date that you were waiting for!"

"Can I please stop for now? I'm hungry now," Lily said.

"Oh, sure!" said a bubbly voice. Levy, Wendy, and Charle came back from the cake store.

"Strawberry Cake!" Erza said happily. She took one of the boxes from Wendy and began to get a big slice for herself.

"Are they already sliced? Gajeel ate all the knives," Lucy said.

"Yeah, I remember. Why is there a large dent in the wall?" Wendy asked.

"I bet it was caused by one of those dragon slayers," Charle retorted.

"Hey!" yelled all five of them. (If you forgot there's Natsu, Gajeel, Laxus, Sting, and Rogue.)

"Um...I'm still hungry," Lily said.

"Did you bring any fish?" Happy asked.

"No," Charle said.

"I guess we'll continue it later then," Gray said.

"I can't wait for them to get married!" Mira said.

"We're not getting married," Jellal sighed.

"Juvia wants to get married to Gray-sama!" Juvia said with hearts in her eyes.

"No," Gray replied.

"The relationship still hasn't gotten anywhere," Meredy sighed, eating another bite of the cake.

"Strawberry Cake!" Erza said.

x.X.x

I'm so sorry guys for taking so one to write this! Waah! And this story is a bit long, but its really good. I had to split it. It's halfway done here and I'll add the other half later! And remember about the secret contest!
