A little message for kisshu4everfan: I read your profile in deviantart so by the way, Midnight didn't die after he was defeated by Erza, He was arrested with the rest of Oracion Seis.

I might not win this contest but it's fun trying right? Jazzele might win again. Kinda jealous of her since she's from Phiilippines too and she won the past contest.

As night falls over Fiore, Jellal noticed that Midnight was about to step in the guild. He quickly ran pass him, giving him an unwelcoming expression on his face. Midnight understands and stood by the entrance with his fist in his pockets and his eyes staring inside. Lucy goes to speak with him.

"Hey… thanks for saving me today" she thanked with a soft voice.

He moved his head a little to see her beside him. "What kind of mage are you anyway—Princess. You almost got yourself killed out there"

"What?" she said with an irritated voice.

"You wouldn't last three days on your own"

"(provoked) Oh, and I suppose you could help me?"

"Heh… Yeah" he said as he walked away.

Lucy jumped in front of him "Alright, accompany me to a request. We start at dawn" she informed as she walked to her apartment.

Midnight chuckled "I look forward to it"

On a roof of a building near the guild, Cobra and Ultear watched from afar. "D-Did you see that? He let her go! If that were me—

"Hush! The rescue worked perfectly and Jellal fell for it. And once he gets closer to Lucy, the closer he gets to the guild members"

During midnight, Jellal was groaning in his sleep, tossing and turning under his blanket. He dreamt of the battle between Fairy Tail and Oracion Seis. He saw himself lying on the ground with bruises that scarred his skin and he saw Erza being terrorized by Zero, pound after pound and she couldn't do anything to stop him. Finally, she landed in front of Jellal, her face was a few feet away. She appeared to be frail and still.

"Erza!" Jellal called.

"Jellal…" she uttered weakly. Jellal stretched out his hand to reach hers but all in vain, they were too weak. Suddenly, Zero shot his final blow at Erza, sending her flying to the other buildings, out of sight.

"NOOO!" Jellal shouted. Zero was laughing maniacally in front of Jellal, shrinking into a form of a younger boy. His skin became whiter, his hair turned black and spiked, his face turned into an oh-too familiar expression still keeping his evil, smug, laughing self. Wait… that face!

"Midnight…?" Jellal uttered. Midnight stopped laughing but kept his big evil smile.

He released a powerful wind known as "Spiral Pain" that swirled around Jellal that forced him to cry out in agony. Jellal abruptly sat up screaming from his sleep. He was breathing heavily; thankfully, Erza didn't wake up from his shriek. He released a sigh of relief once he saw Erza safe and sound asleep. After a few moments, he lied back down and fell asleep.

Next morning, Jellal went to the guild early. He stood by the entrance alone, still in disbelief that Midnight was to be part of Fairy Tail. He wouldn't trust him, especially since he's a dark mage yet Erza, Lucy and the Master wanted him to follow the guilds policy plus most of the members were convinced that Midnight turned to a new leaf.

From a distance, Midnight was staring at Jellal. Midnight was thinking of making his first move on him. He was about to charge at him when suddenly…

"G'morning!" Lucy greeted. Lucy came from behind, skipping lightly around Midnight. Today she was wearing her signature clothes with a matching sling bag. Midnight was a bit surprised, trying to disguise his previous mindset and intentions.

"I'm ready for our request! Surprised ya huh?" Lucy said. Midnight turned his attention back to Jellal but the second he checked, Jellal already left.

"Hey c'mon! Let's go!" Lucy exclaimed. Midnight was still dumbfounded but after one glance at his missed opportunity, he turned and followed Lucy.

Lucy took a job at a farm to get rid of some troublesome crane like birds that have been eating off the farmer's produce. The farmer was really mad at the result of the flocks' feast so he immediately sent the mages to the fields. Lucy hoped that this job was worth 300,000 jewels.

After a while (sun is starting to set), Lucy and Midnight tried to scare off the birds but most of them wouldn't budge and Midnight wasn't much help. Most of the time, Midnight just laid by a large rock as the blonde was being thrown off by the birds' abnormally large beaks, frequently. She was thrown off so many times Midnight would count…

"3…2…1…"

"Ahhh!" Lucy was thrown off to Midnight's direction head first but he was able to duck down. Lucy rolled on the ground and lay on her back at one spot. Midnight walked over her face.

"I got thrown again huh?" she said in embarrassment.

"Only…a lot" he replied. He strutted passed her as she got up. "I'll take care of this" Midnight stretched his arms forward with his fingers between the others to crack them.

By refracting light, Midnight transformed into his illusion of a monster which terrified both the birds and Lucy. He charged at the flocks of birds through wheat fields but at a certain plot, he heard screaming before him. He immediately deformed back to his original self with a confused face when he saw Natsu below him. Natsu was munching on some corn before Midnight arrived but when he did; he spitted it out to scream. Natsu fell on his back with his elbows set for support. Natsu was still in shock so all he could remember was the vision of Midnight's transformation.

"Don't eat me! Please! I…I…I never really met your tyrant. I mean, uhh—Brain. Brain oh, heck of a guy. I little moody, but, I…

"Natsu! What are you doing here?" Lucy shouted with a little anger in her tone of voice.

"Lucy! You're here! Hey, for once were not following. Me and Gray got here for a request but we took care of it already. I got hungry until I saw the biggest smorgasbord here. Food everywhere! But you don't call for reservation then—Yeesh!" he indicated at the fields of veggies, with the flock of birds eating contentedly away.

"Get outta here ya stubid birds! Go on! Shoo! Shoo!" Natsu shooed at a bird. He waved his arms at its unconcerned face; pecking Natsu's nose. Natsu held his nose with both of his hands in pain. Lucy stared in amusement; Midnight in bewilderment.

"Hey Natsu, I'm getting tired. Could we go home now?" Gray asked. He was topless this time with lots of smaller birds sitting on him like a tree.

"I was thinking that you could help us scare away these birds? We have this request-"

"No problem Lucy. All you gotta do is to show how fierce you are. Just watch me" he instructed.

Natsu ran after one of the birds and as soon as he's close enough to run over it, the bird squawked and flew away. Gray shook the birds off him and copied Natsu's movement. They both ran through the birds, scattering them to the sky. Natsu added growling to his style as Lucy and Midnight watched together.

"Hey! You two! It's your request, why don't you help us out here?" Natsu asked.

Lucy shrugged and decided to join the two fools leaving Midnight staring at them. When Lucy got a few steps away from Midnight, she noticed he wasn't following her. She turned around and yelled "Come on Midnight!"

Midnight smirked and jogged through the flocks. Lucy had her arms spread apart while Midnight has his fist clenched, moving back and forth (you know what I mean). The four of them started running close to each other to the meadows, without a care in the world.

"Why are we doing this? What's the point of this training?" Midnight asked Lucy who was laughing in delight just like when she was younger.

"Hahaha! Training? This is for fun!" Lucy explained.

"Fun?" Midnight looked puzzled as though he never heard that word before.

"Yah gotta get out more often. Fun! Yee ha! Ha ha ha ha… Woo-hoo!" Natsu hooted.

Midnight slowly got the idea "Yee-haa! Yee-haa!" he imitated.

The group with no care at all, was running into a herd of rhinos by the pond. Midnight and the others started hooting louder. They opened their eyes to turn to a sudden stop. The rhinos snorted at them and once they saw their angry faces, they all ran for their lives. They ran to the mountains with the herd charging at them. Lucy, Natsu and Gray were running in fear but Midnight was the only one having fun at this point. They come across a crevice where they hid from the rhinos. Thankfully the rhinos passed them. They all laughed.

"What a blast!" Midnight exclaimed.

Lucy was a bit surprised at him but she giggled with the others. The crevice wasn't too big for them so Gray and Natsu had to squeeze out first but in the process, Lucy's lips brushed against Midnight's cheek. Once they both noticed, they both blushed and chuckled nervously. They decided to forget about it since there in a tight situation right now. Soon enough they both extracted themselves out of the fissure.

"Hey! Are you two comin' our what?" Natsu shouted at them.

Lucy and Midnight couldn't forget about earlier so they smiled at each other on the way back to the farm.
