Hi guys, this is the eleventh and last chapter of Match-Make. It's also the longest chapter; like I said, I wasn't quite sure how to divide it right. I would like to thank everyone who read this story from start to finish and the ones who told me what was lacking and those who helped me fix the problems, thanks a lot. If it wasn't for you guys' reviews I wouldn't have had the confidence to post the entire story. Please enjoy.

Chapter 11:

Recap:

The girls have finally started phase two of their plan. Mirajane and Freed now find themselves in the dark, alone in the guild, not knowing that the longer they stay the further they fall into the girls' scheme and probably in each other's hearts.

"Did you see that Erza," Levy said excitedly pointing at the screen.

"Yes I did," the armored mage said a huge smile on her lips.

"Juvia knew they would make a great couple," the water mage's voice sounded through the speakers of their communication device.

"Good work you two," the red head said through the small mic attached to an earpiece.

"Thanks Erza-san." the sky maiden said through hers.

"It was easy cutting the power off." The exceed said added.

"Now they're trying to leave." Levy said

"Don't worry, Lucy, Juvia, you guys know what to do," And the two nodded with a yes.

The water mage was outside, behind the guild. Soon it started to rain getting harder and harder, who do you think is responsible for that?

"Good, Lucy?" Erza, giving the orders asked.

Lucy was also outside, "All doors and windows are lock, I also have the keys with me," the blonde reported.

"Excellent," Erza exclaimed, obviously enjoying herself "Now Lucy, Wendy, Charle go to your next locations, Juvia make sure it keeps raining."

"Roger," all the girls said

"Levy how're the victims?" Erza asked, she is enjoying herself too much.

Levy sweat dropped at the word 'victim' but answered just the same. "They're now trying to open the doors."

"That's strange," Freed said "I was sure they were open."

"Are you sure that you didn't lock them by accident when you came in?" Mira asked, worriedly. They both tried the doors one more time until they heard the rain pouring hard on the roof.

"It sounds like its raining." Freed said

Mira looked out of the window, and indeed it was raining, a second later lightning flashed in front of her. She gave shriek. Freed covered his mouth to muffle a small laugh, he was clearly amuse to see Mirajane act like that. Mira didn't notice Freed's amusement, but her face was turning red because of the shriek she gave.

"I guess we can't get out," she said with a sigh.

"Yeah, even if we manage to get the doors open, we won't be able to go out with all the rain."

"Let's go to the counter, I think there were some flash lights there."

Mira led the way. Since it was dark, Mira tripped over a stool, which was conveniently there. Before she could fall, Freed caught her.

"Are you alright?" he asked. Even though he was behind her, she knew that they were very close to each other and she could feel his breath near her neck as he spoke. It sent a shiver down her spine. His arm was around her waist while his other hand was holding hers. She retreated away quickly.

"Y-yes I-i'm fine," she shuttered, her face feeling hot "W-what did I trip over?"

"A stool," Freed said like nothing happened "You should put away these kinds of things." Picking it up and putting it under the nearest table

The thing is Mira did put it away at least that's what she thought. They continued their way towards the counter. Unbeknownst to them that the stool was placed there by an exceed.

"Good work Charle," whispered Wendy.

"I have to say her reaction was entertaining," the cat said. The two the scurried off quietly keeping an eye on their targets.

"That's strange," the white-haired demon said "I could've sworn that the flash lights were here."

"Hey look what I found," her green-haired companion said.

"Candles? I guess it's better than nothing."

"Well, I could only find two." he said as he lit them.

"It's not much, but at least we have light."

"I agree, but what do you suppose we do now?"

"Since the front doors are lock, why don't we look for another way out while waiting for the rain to stop?" she suggested.

"Sounds like a plan."

They started heading to the back of the guild to see if the back door was open. To their disappointment it wasn't. Next they began looking for other means to leave but had no had luck what so ever. They stopped after several hours of walking. They were back to where they started, the guild hall, and both were tired.

"It seems we're trapped," Mira sighed.

"And the rains' not subsiding in the slightest." Freed added. The rain was still pouring though the clash of lightning and thunder seemed to have ceased. Looking at the time, he noticed that it was almost midnight.

"I guess we should get some sleep while we wait for morning." Freed said

"Alright," Mira said yawning.

The two started heading to the infirmary rooms. Beds were there in case of emergency.

"Perfect," Lucy whispered to herself.

"Hey Lucy," Wendy said as she quietly approach the older girl.

"Wendy," the celestial mage said.

"Did you finish your job?" the sky maiden asked.

"Yes I did, all the rooms are locked except for one, and you?"

"We're done too; all that's left is to give Charle the signal to close the door."

"Good job guys." Levy said over their earpiece.

"Yes, everything's going smoothly so far." Erza added "How's Juvia?"

"Juvia is doing fine," the water mage said. Juvia was still outside concentrating on making the rain last. While Lucy, Wendy and Charle mess with the couple inside.

"Lisanna?" Erza asked through the mic.

"I'm fine," the take-over mage said "Elfman-nii is already asleep."

"Good, I was worried when you weren't reporting in."

"It must have been hard keeping your brother occupied." Levy said

"Not at all" Lisanna said "All I had to do was make him drink the sleeping potion, that was a bit hard though, he was a little suspicious but I manage to make him drink it, by the way how's Mira-nee and Freed?"

"They're checking the rooms now," Lucy said "Charle is on standby, Wendy and I'll give her the signal to lock the door."

"It's strange, not only are we locked in, we can't seem to open anyone of these doors." Mira said sounding tired.

"It's alright Mira," Freed said to comfort her, which surprised him as much as it surprised her "There's a few rooms left."

To their relief the next room they tried opened and both went inside. The room was probably built to accommodate one person because there was only one bed, even so it was very well kept.

"Looks like only one of us can stay here," Freed said "You can have this room, I'll look another. Will you be alright by yourself?"

"I think I could manage," Mira said hiding a small sad smile.

Freed was about to leave when a huge lightning bolt flashed, lighting the room in blinding white in less than a second, a loud clash of thunder came after it. That was really unexpected. When Freed started to open his eyes, he had held on a very frightened Mirajane. Her face was buried in his chest, his left hand holding her head protectively while his right arm was around her waist holding her close to him. Both were crouched on the floor. It took awhile for the two to realize what was happening. Quickly they backed up a bit. Their flustered faces illuminated by the candle's light on the table. The other one went out when Freed dropped it. After a few minutes, Freed pulled himself together and stood up.

"Well, I'll be leaving..." he trailed off when he heard Mira's silent sobs "Hey what's wrong?" he asked a little too gentle for him, but it felt right.

Another few minutes of silence accompanied by Mira's sobs. Freed sighed.

"Looks like I can't leave you alone after all," he said

He then carried her bridal style. She was about to say something when he put her on the bed gently and sat next to her putting her head on his chest, holding her head.

"Sleep," he said voice gentle as ever. Mira could hear loud heart beats, was it his or was it hers? She really didn't know. All she did know was that she was scared and very tired. And for some reason she felt serine and content being there with him.

"Thanks," she said softly wondering if he heard. Which he did, Freed just smiled and started stroking her smooth silky white hair, trying to calm her. Soon enough Mira fell asleep and so did Freed.

The two girls and exceed outside didn't hear anyone attempting to open the door. After awhile they heard Erza's voice.

"Quickly, you three open the door," Erza said, sounding like she had won ten year's worth of strawberry cake.

"You have to see this," Levy added with the same excited/happy tone as Erza's.

Slowly they opened the door and they peeked inside. There illuminated by the candle light were the two, sleeping peacefully in each other's arms. The two tried their hardest to suppress their squeals while Charle just had a huge smile on her face. A job well done I say.

"Mission accomplished," Lucy said

"Juvia you can make the rain stop now," Levy said. And the water mage went to meet up with the three.

"Alright everyone go and get some well deserved rest, tomorrow we'll re-group and watch the video" Erza said, very pleased.

Levy turned the viewing lacrimas off. She and Erza called it a night, smiling like two high school girls that got asked on a date with their crush. Lisanna went to bed with a grin that'll last till morning. Juvia, Wendy and Charle went back to Fairy Hills, happy like the rest. Lucy took the lacrima cam with her back to her place, glad that everything went well.

Hope you guys liked it, I know I said this is the last chapter but my mind may have some other plans, well that depends on how much time I have on my hands and if my imagination is willing to give me more ideas for this story (there may or may not be a notice later on about a possible sequel) or I'll make a new fanfic. I don't really know. Anyway once again thank you for reading; I'm really happy that I manage to finish this.
