Erza POV
Next thing that she knew, there was a very loud buzzing noise approaching them. She opened her eyes groggily, then shot up in shock.
There was a helicopter hovering above them, and people looking down at them. Erza quickly grabbed her bra and reassembled it, looking at Jellal who had also woken up.
I hope we don't get in too much trouble for being found like this. She was pretty worried for what awaited them. A ladder fell from the helicopter towards them, and they climbed up to meet their fate. On board was the man in charge of Mercurius, Mr. Toma E. Fiore. He regarded them and their state of undress before speaking. "Another couple found stuck in the maze, eh? Not a big problem...Though I did expect more from you, Miss Erza Scarlet." He sighed heavily. "We've had many young couples found in there over the years. Maybe it's just something about the atmosphere of the place; roses are the flower of love after all. However, I must make it clear that we will no longer be accepting any requests from your school to visit here - surely you understand?" She gulped. This is the best I could have hoped for "Yes sir." They both replied. "Good! Then let's take you back" He said with a smile.
They were provided with jackets to cover themselves on the way back. The rest of the students had already gone home - it was nighttime after all. Erza and Jellal both returned to their respective houses, glad that it was late enough for no one to be up.
The next day, they could practically hear the whispers about them getting lost in the maze together, and what the "power of the roses" were apparently known for. The two of them spent a majority of the day blushing like mad.
When Erza caught up with Natsu, she asked what had become of him after he'd entered the maze. "Hm? Oh that? I went in and ended up running into the gardener who said the maze was supposed to be closed and he was just repainting the sign, so I came back with him" He shrugged.
Erza and Jellal looked at each other, then burst out laughing. "What's goin' on?" Natsu asked, but the two were already walking away.
They stopped outside the school yard, and Jellal turned to Erza. "So." He started. "Does this mean that you're my girlfriend now?" He asked, his eyes pleading. She raised her eyebrows. "Is that how you want it to be?" She asked. He gave her a deadpan stare. "Yes." He stated bluntly. She smiled gently. "Then that's how it is." Jellal smiled wide, and leaned down to kiss her. I'm glad that we got lost among the roses.
