MyCrazyFantasyLand: your review made my day! Seriously! And I got confused with the sexual tension part haha but I asked 'mystery' to explain it to me haha I'm as dense as Natsu sometimes ;D

Gray grumbled as he sat down on a bench at the station. What the hell is this mission he thought as he looked over to the redhead mage who was sitting next to him. She's quiet Gray noted, normally that wouldn't have caused Gray to bat an eyelid seeing as Erza was a quiet person. Well when she isn't bossing people around or shouting at me and Natsu! Gray mentally laughed "anyway thanks Erza" he said causing the re-quip mage to look back with a raised eyebrow which is exactly what he wanted and he inwardly smiled now I can find out Erza's motives for saving me from Juvia.

"You know what I'm on about" he smiled innocently, Erza looked away and nodded

"Oh that was nothing"

Gray smirked "well it was just the fact that you didn't seem to like the idea of me going off on a mission with Juvia"

Erza looked over at Gray and glared at him "you didn't want to alone with her! I only said we were going on a mission together to help you out! You should be thanking me" she shouted angrily which startled some members of the public.

"I was just thanking you!" Gray laughed lightly not wanting to enrage the Titania "so there was no other reason then?" he suddenly asked with a serious tone knowing that the fellow mage was hiding something but he couldn't quite figure out her secret.

The female mage gave a small smile "well I thought it would be nice to go on a mission together, just like old times before Lucy or even Natsu joined." For some reason Gray felt his face slightly heat up from her comment.

Erza does want to spend time with me he thought and that strangely make him feel happy and nervous at the same time but he never had time to figure out the reason of his sudden feelings as a shout from the conductor reminded him he had a train to catch.

"All aboard for Onibus town!" the train conductor cried out and the two mages made their way towards the train. They both walked in and Gray looked around for some seats. Damn this is packed Gray thought as his eyes scanned the carriage for any seats. Something big must be going on in Onibus town…

"Aha!" Gray cheered as he spotted two free seats at the back of the carriage in the far left corner. He grabbed Erza's wrist to drag her to the seats so that she would follow him and they would both make it to the seats. Once he pushed his way through the crowded carriage he dropped onto the seat by the window "phew we made it" Gray sighed and looked over to see Erza looking at her wrist where Gray had grabbed her. She had a very strange look at her face, why are her cheeks red? "Oh sorry Erza did I grip on too tightly. I'm sorry, I just didn't want us to get separated when there were seats" not wanting a beating. But instead her eyes widened

"Oh no! It's fine you didn't hurt my wrist" Erza sure is acting weird Gray thought but shrugged it off. This is Erza after all, the Titania how could I hurt her? She's the one that kicks my butt! I can't even lay a finger on her! They both sat there sat there in silence but that didn't shock Gray he knows she isn't the talkative type like Lucy. After a few more minutes of their silence Gray became bored seeing as all he was doing was just sitting around.

"so what is this quest anyway?" Gray asked "because honestly I have no clue what we have to do!"

Erza's eyes widened as she looked down and saw that luckily the piece of paper was still secure in her hand. Thank God for Erza's iron grip Gray chuckled quietly and the redhead never heard him, she continued to un-crumple the request, she then held it up and read it.

Gray looked at her face and watched her expression change as she read it, once her eyes were at the bottom of the page she smiled widely and dropped the paper and grinned at Gray. "huh?" he looked at the redhead and picked up the piece of paper wonder what's so good about this request it must be amazing if its got Erza grinning madly. He looked at the paper and began to read…

Help wanted, wizards needed to fill in the roles for my new play. Preferably male and female wizards needed to play the main two characters. For more information come to Onibus theatre. Reward depends on how well the production is. Please help me. Many thanks Rabian.

"oh crap" Gray said out loud as he dropped the paper on the floor, not wanting to see the name again. Rabian, Onibus theatre. I knew I had heard of Onibus town before! I knew it was familiar. That damned play we all had to perform in all those months ago…

Erza began to sing her 'warm up exercises' even though they were still a long way away from their final destination. Gray sighed, this was going to be a long journey and it would only get worse once he got off the train! I knew this day was going to be bad! "come on!" Gray shouted out loud to no one in particular "when do I get some good luck?!"

Little did he know that he still had a long wait for his good luck, as someone had just heard his and Erza's conversations and that certain person had just picked up the tattered paper off the floor…

Another cliff hanger haha, hope you guys enjoyed it! Please review and tell me what you think and what other pairings you want. Thanks and peace out! XD
