Hello! Been a long time (not really) when I've last updated, heh, sorry 'bout that, busy schedule, yeah sorry. Advanced apologies for the typos and grammatical errors. Normal notes stuffs you'd find in an author note, normal notes stuffs you'd find in an author note.

I do not own Fairy Tail- if I did, well, all of the arcs would be abysmally written and animated.

Enjoy! R&R!

Erza Scarlet groggily opened her eyes, she looked around and saw herself in her room, laying on her bed. She then recalled what happened and jumped back to her headboard. Fearfully, she gaze upon the newly bought mirror and to her relief, there's no-one on it. Erza closed her eyes and tried to regain her breathing. All a dream, she mutters, just a dream.

"Sorry to disappoint you, owlet, but it's not a dream."

Peering behind her eyelids, Erza heaved as she stares at her mirror. "C-Certainly not a d-d-dream."

After a moment or two, the person? in the mirror growled, in which Erza recoiled.

"I'm the one who's supposed to be terrified! I mean, who wouldn't be if you suddenly wake up and find yourself trapped in something in somebody's house?!"

Gaping, Erza took a deep breath and stuttered. "Y-You're in a m-mirror, and... I didn't k-know what happened to you, I- sorry but this is t-terrifying for me too.."

The woman bit her lips and nodded silently, "Yeah, sorry, this is both traumatic for the both of us. I- um, how are..you?"

"F-Fine, you?"

"Same, uh, m-my name is Irene."

Feeling slightly calmed, Erza answered back. "Erza, Erza Scarlet. Do.. you have a surname?"

The woman, Irene, faltered. "As much as I can remember, I'm just.. Irene. Simply Irene."

Erza tilted her head, "Aw. Well, why don't you think of one for yourself?"

Irene's eyes widened. "That's.. actually a great idea. Thing is, I don't know where to start."

Her voice was so small that it actually hurt Erza (and possibly nearly made her squeal because she found it cute).

"I have a stupid suggestion."

Irene laughs a little, "Let me hear of this 'stupid' suggestion."

"You see, there's this magnificent gem on the top of your, err, mirror. And when I said Bel-"

"Really? What's its color?"

"Oh- scarlet."

"I want my surname to be Scarlet."

With her mouth agape, Erza pouted, if that's even possible. "That's my surname!"

Irene giggled behind her hands, "Oh well. I'll think of something later."

Nodding, Erza swung her feet back and forth.

"So.. Erza, can you tell me more about yourself?"

"Sure." Tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear, Erza cleared her throat. "I'm seventeen years old, fifth year student at Fiore Regnum School I just moved in last week here in my new apartment, and um, I'm a bit shy."

The redhead in the mirror giggles, "You're cute, you know?"

Instantly, Erza's cheeks tinted rose pink. "Th-Thanks, I suppose."

"As for a person finding out they're trapped inside a mirror, I'm actually doing fine. And as for you, you're doing fine too, it seems."

Erza came closer to Irene, tucking her left leg under her right and stared at her. "I was wondering.. How does it feel like to be there? Do you stand or what? Is there a world out there? Um, like are you in a room or something? Can you eat? Can you even breathe the-"

Irene let out a giggle, "My, what a curious being!" She smirks when she saw the girl blushed, "As for your wonderings/, I just noticed it but.. I think I'm just floating, I dunno. Er, it feels a little chilly and smells like vanilla and strawberry. A world.. I don't think so. I just see endless hue of blue surrounding me, but really, it feels like I'm in a sphere of it. As for eating and breathing, I don't think I necessarily need to. I just.. feel like I've already eaten. And breathing? Sure, I could do that."

Gaping in excitement and wonder, Erza suddenly laughed. Which took the mirror-woman in surprise, and decided to join in the laughter.

After the two calmed down, Erza then began to think. "You mentioned it was chilly and smells like vanilla and strawberry. I-I have a hypothesis, wait here."

Puzzled, Irene obliged and waited. Erza then turned off her AC and set the thermostat from the side of the door on her bedroom to cause warmth across her flat. Then, she returned to her new found friend and asked,

"Can you tell me how does it feel now there?"

Feeling sudden warmth, Irene sighed in delight and answered, "It's warm now, what's your theory, duckling?"

Feeling her face heat up, Erza grumbled. "Earlier I was an owlet, now I'm a duckling? Really now, wolfie." She smirked when Irene frowned at the nickname, "Well, I conclude that.. whatever's happening here in my room, or where your, err, mirror is in, affects your 'world'."

Erza expected Irene to look at her weirdly or anything along the lines, but Irene just seemed to be deep in thought. "That makes sense. But what about me? And if- my mirror, something bad happened to it, will it affect me?" Now alarmed, Irene displayed it on her eyes. "What happens if this mirror breaks? Will I- Will I die?"

The Earthland's redhead gasped and staggered to come even closer to Irene, "Oh no- if it does.." She gulped, "I-I'll take care of you and your mirror. I won't let anything bad happen to you Irene, I promise."

The two were shaken but they just went on to their conversations, only to stop when Erza yawned, followed by Irene, in which resulted to the two sharing a laugh and deciding to sleep.

"You can turn the AC- was it? Back on, it must be much more comfortable to you." Irene quipped when Erza was about to shut the lights off.

"Oh, okay. Well, I'll just, um I dunno, drape a blanket over you?" Erza chuckled, "Thanks, by the way."

It took a few minutes to get over some final preparations, but it was comfortable for the both of them. Erza was tucked in her duvet while the almost almond-shaped mirror was, truth to her words, draped with a fluffy baby blue blanket. The two were giggling until they felt drowsiness entering their veins once more.

"Goodnight Irene."

"Goodnight Erza."

The two bade their 'farewell' to each other, it would've been ridiculous if somebody apart from themselves to see the sight of them cozily starting to fall asleep- especially for the part of the mirror, a regal mirror with a fluffy baby blue blanket draped over it. Nevertheless, the two had one of the greatest sleep they've ever had- or remembered, as Irene's reflection slowly disappeared from the mirror to display the room's reflection on it, and the gem atop the mirror gleamed scarlet once more.
