Hi guys! Again, it might be slightly short because I will be real easing the next chapter shortly and also because it is late over here. Hope you enjoy it!

Mira's POV

AHAHAHA! YES! IT WORKED! Gajeel followed just as planned and came to Levy's rescue! And then, BAM! Trapped. Hehehe... Yes! Hopefully, no-one will ruin their moment. Anyway, I should probably head back with these guys... Gajeel really did a number on them in order to rescue his princess Levy! All part of my plan and the deal. Wendy can heal Romeo's wounds and she will get worried anD THEN THEY CAN HAVE LOADS OF CUTE SHIP MOMENTS OMG YES! If I hadn't changed out of Satan's Soul, my fangirl grin would be really creepy... Oh whale ? ﾟﾐﾳ!

"MIRAAAAAAAAAA!"

"What is it?"

"My wounds kill! Why did you say 'no magic'?"

"So that you and Wendy can be cute together!"

"Erm... What?"

"Isn't this what you wanted?"

"Kinda, bu-"

"See! Ok, let's go!"

Gajeel's POV

I've been trapped under here with Shrimp here for... Well... FOREVER! We managed to shift the boulders so that we could both fit comfortably under it all. In the cave, there was a note concerning Erza and Jellal which was mostly torn and the bookworm could only see a faint, messy invitation to the cave. Hopefully, they will be here soon and I won't have to starve OR eat half-pint. No canablism (don't judge my crappy spelling!) any time soon! ... Maybe...

"So... How's life?" Ugh. Small talk. Heh... Small talk... PUNZ!

"Lifeish. How about your's?"

"Yeah, pretty lifeish..." There was a long pause. Or at least it felt long.

"So... Whadya wanna do?"

"Escape. Get rescued. Find a way out. Read."

"ALWAYS WITH THE READING!"

"Well, excuse me if I have a hobby besides getting drunk and trying to crush my comrades!"

"Snaz, pip squeak... Snaz..." Again, silence filled the room... Cave... Thing...

"So..."

"So."

"What do you think Mira's going to do next in order to make her ships cannon?"

"Hmmm... I don't know. Kill some people? Put half of us in space? Warp universes?"

"Yeah... That sounds like her..."

Levy's POV

At first, Gajeel and I were just spewing out random words. Anything to keep the conversation going. Heck, we even had a long conversation about what type of toothbrush a dragon would use! Eventually, we were able to eradicate the awkwardness and we had a few nice conversations! Luckily, Happy wasn't there to tease us... We started talking about our ships and found out that we had similar ships to Mirajane! Surprise, surprise...

"Natsu should just come out and say that he likes Lu-chan!"

"Yeah. He should tell her already! Then he would stop banging on about how amazing bunny girl is."

"Yeah. But what do you think of Jellal and Erza?"

"They would be together already if they weren't so stubborn and awkward when it comes to romance."

"I find it kind of poetic and cute because it's like the prince and the knight fallimg in love with each other."

"Wow... How do you manage to bring everything back to literature?"

"Ooh! Gajeel used a big word!"

"SHUT UP!"

The night kind of carried on like that and we ended up having a great evening together. Kind of romantic but also not romantic at the same time. At least until the sun set.

It's starting to get late. And dark. While we're outside. Alone. I hate being outside in the dark after what happened.

~flashback~

It was fun going to Lu-chan's house today... I also love the walk back! When the lamps light up in the darkness of light, it reminds me of the wonders of fairy tales and magical romances. If only I had someone to enjoy these nights with. Suddenly, I felt a firm, large hand grasp my small shoulder. I turned around in hope of a kind, handsome prince behind me. Instead I was met with a tall, muscly man who towered over me imposingly. How disappointing.

"Hey girl... You're one of those famous fairy tail wizards, right?"

"What do you want, sir?"

"I'll take that as a yes. You're coming with me, little missy." He started tugging at my arm and I stumbled and fell as he dragged me into a narrow, dark alleyway.

"W-what is up with you? Why do you want me?"

"I don't want you, Levy Mc Garden. I need you." I tried to use my fire solid script on the insane man. "That won't work. I use disabling magic. I use fear to build a wall around magic power. Good luck with your escape. Now, where were we..."

He pinned me against the grimy wall. Slowly, his hand crept down my chest, stomach and rested by my mini skirt. A menacing grin spread across his face. I was petrified. I couldn't run, scream or hide. All I could do was cry as the pervert was about to toy with me. Seconds before I fainted, his face was struck with an iron fist. Gajeel. As his hands fell away from me, my legs stopped working and I hit my head on the hard, stone street, knocking me out. The last words I heard before blacking out were "how am I supposed to protect you if you go running off with perverts?" And then, the darkness engulfed me.

~end flashback~

Obviously Gajeel knew what was going through my head. As I started to tremble, he wrapped his heavy, muscly arm around my shoulders. "You okay, shrimp?"

"Y-yeah... I'm fine."

"Don't worry. I will protect you through the night."

"Thanks Gajeel..."

Erza's POV

Jellal and I were still trying to save Gajeel and Levy from the collapsed cave without it completely . imploding. Levy appeared to be asleep and Gajeel looked like he hadn't slept all night. He was awake, but barely.

"Come on, Jellal. We can do this!"

"I'm trying, but these boulders might collapse if we make any rash movements. We don't want to crush them, do we?"

"Point taken..." Neither of us noticed a powerful Mage come up behind us. All that I know is that she had been stood there for a while before we noticed her.

"I can help!"

So, how was it? I just wanted to add something here- if Levy's flashback relates to any part of your life, it is entirely coincidental. If anything, I based it on my experiences while walking alone down quiet roads. Thanks for reading!
