Prompt: "Turns out I'm badass"

It was just an ordinary day for the children in Fairy Tail. Everyone was scampering around and throwing chairs as the usual, while she sat and observed in awe. Mirajane held the biggest smirk on her face when she saw Erza take a bite of her cake. She didn't officially work behind the counter yet, but she made the cake with cherries instead of strawberries. It was just a simple prank, but she knew it would leave a bad taste in the teen's mouth.

Leaning back against the bar, she was sure of victory. Her siblings had told her countless times not to do it -Erza would always know the difference between what was and wasn't a strawberry.

Mira did put a small sliced strawberry on top and the sweet buttercream frosting around the slice, so she wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

The redhead sat with her plate in hand, eyes locked on their target. Mira could feel the rise to victory once the knight's silver sword penetrated the fluffy cake.

Erza eyed the piece and sniffed it. Her eyes defiling the small piece on the end of the fork. She did not seem very happy as she cut up the rest of the cake, pulling out a very bright red fruit -a cherry.

Mira took this as her cue to leave, tip toeing her way to the back of the guild. One moment she was home free and the next, a piece of cake was stuck to her back.

"What was that for?!" Mira shrieked, giving Erza a menacing glare as she turned. "You looking for a fight?"

Erza tutted, standing her ground. "You tell me, you're the one who defiled my cake." She definitely was playing around, her sword was out and ready.

"Oh, come on. It's so easy to mix-up strawberries and cherries. Give me a break."

Her excuse seemed to work on Erza, but then she sighed. "I believe you are smarter than that Mira. Why did you do it?"

"Cause," she growled, releasing a menacing aura. "Turns out I'm a badass, according to my Satan Soul at least." She began to laugh, her magical aura coming off of her in waves.

Erza didn't seem the least bit impressed as she chucked her long sword at Mira. Her own aura radiating off of her.

The two clashed as they always did. Two big balls of pride throwing whatever they had at each other. It wasn't until the day Lisanna disappeared that Mira truly knew the impact Erza had left on her life.
