AN: I'm personally not super fond of genderswapping, so I don't know how this is gonna go down yet. I'm just gonna let my fingers go wild.

Erza sat on the edge of her bed, leaning against Jellal, her fingers entwined with his and her head on his shoulder. On days like this, when commotion over him and his past crimes had quieted down enough for him to make a secret visit, the requip mage was happy just to be near him. She felt his nose move through her hair as he placed a soft kiss atop her head, and Erza's lips curled into a blissful smile.

"Jellal…" She murmured his name. She heard him exhale her own softly, before shifting his weight and pushing the young lady down, back first, onto her bed. Jellal leaned over top of his beloved and stared into her eyes, before leaning in for a kiss.

But their intimate moment was suddenly interrupted when there was a loud rapping from Erza's front door.

"Erza! Erza are you home? Open up!" Lucy's voice rang through the apartment along with the knocking.

Erza's expression suddenly turned hysteric, and before Jellal could protest, she flipped him over and threw a blanket over the befuddled young man.

"Shh!" She quieted him, and then called towards the door. "It's open Lucy!"

Erza heard her door open, and then close behind the blonde who walked through its frame. "Where are you, Erza? This is important."

"I'm in my bedroom." She responded in a voice that did not at all represent her state of panic. "I was making my bed."

Lucy's footsteps neared the redhead and Erza realized telling her where she sat was not the best idea, however she didn't trust Jellal not to flee the scene if she did not stay right next to him.

"It's kind of a weird time of day to be setting your bed." Lucy observed, and finally took a step into Erza's bedroom doorway. She flinched at the sight of Erza sitting upon a pile of blankets, which were messily wrapped over top of Jellal, and pretending nothing was off.

"Erza… Do you have a visitor?" Lucy asked, completely unconvinced.

Though Erza kept her deadpan expression, she could feel herself grow pale. "Why would you ask that, Lucy? Now please, tell me what the problem is."

Lucy raised an eyebrow, and continued to glare at her friend, but decided to put the conversation to rest. She knew men weren't allowed in Fairy Hills, so it was for Erza's best interest that her 'secret visitor' remained a secret.

The stellar spirit mage sighed and reached into her pocket. "Okay look, I bought this spell, but I can't figure out how to use it." She held out a small bag, which appeared to be full of spices, and a tiny piece of paper. "I don't know how I let the clerk talk me into buying it, but he said it could cloak anyone's identity for 3 hours. And you know, sometimes it's hard to walk around with Natsu and Gray without their 'crazed fans' popping up everywhere around them, so I thought it could help us have a fun day out without that." She held the piece of paper up to Erza, "The problem is, I can't read the instructions."

"Have you asked Levy to translate them?" Erza asked. It seemed like the most obvious solution.

"I did but…" Lucy pouted, "Levy look one look at it and just told me 'Just don't use it. It's not worth the trouble.'" She held her bangs back and used a higher pitched voice as she imitated her friend. "So you know, I thought maybe, since you've been a mage for so long, you might have an idea of how to go about using it."

Erza snatched the bag and instructions from Lucy. "You should listen to Levy." She instructed Lucy.

"What? Hey!" The blonde protested and puffed up her cheeks.

"I will take it off your hands so that you don't keep asking around. I'll pay you back after our next mission together." Erza kept a straight face, but could feel Jellal weakening beneath her seat.

"Dang it." Lucy grumbled, "Fine, whatever." The blonde turned around and headed for the front door, rather disappointed by the turn out. As she stepped out of Erza's apartment, she called back. "I'll lock the door behind me. Have fun with your boyfriend."

Erza felt her face turn red as the door closed behind the young lady. She leapt up to protest, but Lucy was long gone. From behind her, she heard Jellal take a great gasp of air, and she turned around to find him sitting up in her bed, his head still covered in blankets.

"I thought I might suffocate…" He said with a sigh.

"This is it!" Erza said triumphantly, and hung the bag of spiced in front of Jellal's face.

Jellal returned her enlivened expression with a confused visage of his own. "Didn't you just tell your friend not to use that?"

"Yes, but Lucy would use it for something wasteful." She told him and stood up straight, "She can be a bit of a material girl sometimes. I will use it for something useful."

"And what is that?" The blue haired man questioned with a knowing smile. He had a pretty good idea where this was headed.

"A date!" Erza shouted, and clenched her fist excitedly. With that said, she rushed off to the kitchen. Jellal just sighed and smiled, before bringing himself to his feet and following her.

Erza had in fact had seen such a spell before, and was well aware of how to use it. Though honestly, using the term spell was rather a new-fangled term that shop clerks used to drag in younger customers. It was more like a magical potion.

The kettle whistled on Erza's stove, and she pivoted to her right and turned the heat off. Afterwards, she rotated back around to Jellal, who was sitting at her little kitchen table, with a teacup in front of him. Across the table was another cup, sitting in front of the chair that Erza would take as her own.

The young lady bent down and poured the boiling water into both cups. Jellal's eyes did not move from her once. He dreamed of the day where this could be an everyday occurrence, though he feared such a day may never come.

Jellal watched as his host opened the bag of herbs and poured some into a tea strainer spoon, then mixed both cups with it, one after the other. Once the drinks had gained the right color and scent, she dumped the remaining wet herbs out and took the seat across from the man awaiting her company.

"Why are you using the potion too?" Jellal asked, as he lifted his cup.

"I can't let gossip of Titania on a date with another get around." She responded, and her cheeks reddened. "Some have already noticed the way I look at you."

Jellal smiled, and blew upon his drink. "Fair enough." And with that, the two of them raised their drinks to their lips and took their first sip.

Jellal also instantly spit it out, but held himself together and swallowed the tea. Its taste was absolutely horrible. A mix of salty seawater and spicy peppers hit his taste buds. He didn't know if he could handle another sip. He looked over to Erza to see her coughing after her one sip.

"Potions normally are not very sweet but…" The young lady put her hand over her mouth, "I don't know if I can hold this down."

Then, Erza felt her body grow hot, she felt like steam was rising off of her skin. She stared at Jellal, feeling afraid, and saw his skin also turning red with heat. She suddenly worried about why Levy had instructed Lucy to not use the potion. She clenched her eyes shut and felt like she should cry. The heat became searing pain, and she couldn't speak a single word, but she felt Jellal clench her hand in his.

After a moment, the pain disappeared completely, and for a second, Erza could not feel anything, except for Jellal's fingers wrapped around hers. However, her senses began to return and she opened her eyes upon a stranger.

Across the table was no longer a young man, but a young woman, with long blue hair, and bangs that covered her eyes. Her stature was small, but muscular, and her fingers gripped Erza's.

"J-Jellal?" The red head stuttered.

The young lady across the table turned her head up towards Erza, and the hair fell from her face, revealing Jellal's facial tattoo. Erza couldn't believe this.

"Er-Erza?" The young lady's voice came out strong than she imagined—almost as if it were just Jellal imitating a woman.

Erza looked down upon herself to find her enormous breasts absolutely gone. Her eyes turned wide as she pulled her hand from Jell-girl's grasp and ran both hands through her hair, to find it short, ending even before the nape her neck. She ran her hands down her chest in disbelief, and then, hesitantly, felt between her legs. His legs.

"What is this?!" Erzman screamed and leapt to his feet. His voice was deep and rough, but still had a ring that rooted it back to Erza's natural voice.

Jellal sighed, "Maybe you should have listened to your friend."

"I cannot go outside like this!" Erza panicked. "I don't understand what's going on between my legs."

"Well, there's nothing going on between mine." Jellal replied with another sigh.

"What have I done to us…?" Erza grew pale as she sank into a depressed astonishment.

"You've switched our sexes." Jellal stated the obvious.

Erza and Jellal sat on the edge of the young lady's—er…man's—bed again. Only moments had passed since the potion had taken effect, but Erza could not stay where they were. Erza's bedroom was the only room with curtains on the windows, and he could not risk someone seeing them like this.

This time, the couple sat almost a whole foot apart. The swapping of genders had caused everything to become awkward. Erza could not cling affectionately to a woman, even if it was the man she loved underneath it. And Jellal couldn't kiss Erza's head now—Erza was taller than Jellal in his female state. Jellal was tiny now. Though she still had her strength, she was dwarfed by Erza's frame, even in Titania's natural form.

"It's only supposed to last for three hours. That's not so long." Erza finally broke the silence with his attempt to improve the mood.
"Why am I so tiny?" Jellal asked, not seeming to actually be responding to Erza, but also breaking the silence. The red haired man looked upon the petite blue haired woman next to him.

"Why are my breasts so small?" Jellal continued.

Erza's flinched as he held in a great burst of laughter. His mouth curled up into a tough smile, as a chuckle snuck through his teeth.

"Don't laugh. This really distresses me. If this is the opposite of my male form, I should be tall and well endowed." The blue haired woman continued in her griping. "I don't understand what this means."

Erza finally let go and burst into laughter. Jellal just grimaced and remained quiet until Erza was able to contain his amusement. The red haired mage sniffled and wiped tears from his eyes, and then turned to Jellal. "Jellal, you're so cute."

Jellal blushed and pouted, "I am not looking to be cute."

Erza scooted towards her on the bed and leaned his forehead onto Jellal's. "Well, if it parallel's your natural handsome appearance, I think you're plenty cute."

Jellal's cheeks turned pink, and she couldn't muster any arguments as Erza placed a soft kiss on her lips, before pushing her onto the bed.

Erza lay behind Jellal, holding her around the waist. He sighed happily, cuddling her head under his chin.

"This feels very weird." Jellal said, still miffed by the situation.

"I know." Erza responded, "It's not as if I'm looking to grope another woman, but…" He ran his hand down over Jellal's stomach and felt her stiffen against his chest. "It does feel nice to be in control…"

Jellal let out a girly moan as Erza licked the shell of her ear. "Maybe we should make the best of it…"

"Erza… don't I—"

A sudden chill that took over both their bodies cut off Jellal's protests. Erza clenched his eyes shut and his hands tightened around Jellal's waist, and he felt her expand in his grasp. The chill was much shorter than the searing heat they had felt only minutes before.

When Erza's eyes opened, she found herself looking upon the back of Jellal, in his most natural appearance. She looked down to find her breasts once again blossoming from her chest.

"Erza are we…?" Jellal started, before he felt the young woman press her chest tightly against his back, her fingers still on his taut chest.

"What do you think, handsome?" She responded, and let her fingers continue to travel downwards. "Now… where were we…?" She whispered mischievously.

"Lucy, that spell of yours didn't last three hours at all. It barely lasted ten minutes!" Erza berated her friend at the guild the following day. "You are to take the remaining herbs and get your money back." She put the bag back into the hand of the girl she had commandeered it from.

"You… used it?" Lucy asked, staring rather perplexedly upon her serious faced friend.

"Um… actually Erza." A small voice came from behind. The red head and blonde turned to find Levy speaking up, "Though it's base time is 3 hours, the instructions mentioned that the time could be shorter is there were certain… conditions."

"And what would those be?" Erza asked with her arms crossed.

Levy cleared her voice and placed a pair of red-rimmed reading glasses upon her nose. She pulled out her notebook and read off her translation of the instructions. "Gender swapping potion. Five servings. Last three hours. Mix into boiling water and drink. Beware of temperature changes when taking effect and wearing off. Warning! If the user becomes aroused, the potion may become unstable and revert the user to natural state." Levy removed her glasses and looked up to Erza with accusing eyes.

"Ooooh~" Lucy teased from Erza's side, "So I guess you did have some fun with your visitor."

"I have no idea what you're talking again." Erza said with a straight expression but bright red face. "I just remembered I need some extra cash, I am going to find myself a mission." She turned awkwardly on her heel and began to march towards the mission board.

"Oh no! You're not getting away from me so easy! Spill it girl!" Lucy shouted and chased after the requip mage.

Levy gave a chuckle as she watched the pair of friends bicker and shout.

End

AN: This fic is kinda messy. I hope you didn't absolutely hate it. When I typed "Erzman" I literally had to stop everything because I just bursted out into laughter. Haha. See you tomorrow.
