Previously...
"Erza?" Lucy called. The red-head glared at her, which caused her to shut up.
"Tomorrow, I'll be the main cast! You got that?" she asked the other two, who nodded vigorously. Sighing, Erza sat back down. After drinking my cold drink, I sighed and looked at her.
"Erza?" I said. The latter turned to me, spoon in mouth. "Really? Was that what you were thinking about all day?" Erza gulped, blushed and nodded. I sighed again.
"Okay then." I said. "Everyone, finish up. We're going home." Everyone nodded. A few minutes later, everyone finished their meals and we started to head home. I wonder what mayhem will ensue tomorrow?
Chapter 3:
Next Door Neighbor
.~ ... ~.
MY P.O.V.
The sun's dawning rays stretched out from the horizon, reaching my window and penetrating my dark room. Well, it's hell annoying when it hits your face, but it rarely does. Unfortunately for me, this was one of those moments.
I rose from my bed and rubbed my eye sleepily. I reached under my pillow and took out my phone. After a small amount of time rubbing my eye, I checked the time.
'6 : 20 a.m.?' I thought. 'This is gotta be a new record for me. Waking up this early...' Well, I'm not to blame, anyways.
The sunlight hit my face directly, which was irritating to no end because I haven't had any sleep at all! Why you ask? Well, ask the two stooges snoring their day away in the mattress they set up.
Natsu and Gray don't always get along, I mean, really. But when they do, it's really either really cool or really irritating! Just like now, really irritating. They don't know that they're getting along, because they're asleep. But I'm suffering because of their loud snoring! I'm surprised that Erza and Lucy hadn't been affected by it since last night...
.~ ... ~.
It was around midnight before we got back home. Since everyone is away; my mom being in a week's vacation with my grandma and my brother sleeping over at my cousin's for a few days, I didn't have to worry about not getting home on time! Sweet! We got upstairs and prepared for bed.
"Hey, Gray." Lucy called. "Can you get that mattress over there, please?"
"Sure." Gray replied. He took the mattress from the high-shelf and set it down near my bed. Since I don't have any extra beds, except for Happy on the top bunk of our bunk bed, I decided to make them feel comfortable. Hey, I'm a fan! I can't let them sleep on the ground or couch!
"Let's hit the hay, Happy!" Natsu said. After receiving an enthusiastic 'Aye!' from his cat, he plomped down the mattress Gray just set and started to doze away.
"Hey flame-brain! That's where I'm sleeping!" Gray exclaimed as he tried to remove Natsu from his position.
"Lay off, popsicle! I'm tired!" Natsu retorted. Gray's eye twitched and was going to punch Natsu, but then he felt a glare from behind. He turned to see Erza's now red eyes boring holes in his back.
"Learn how to share, you two." she growled. Gray shivered under her glare and saluted her enthusiastically.
"A-aye~!" he muttered, silently pleading that she would be too tired to beat him up. A few seconds later, Erza sighed and proceeded to prepare her and Lucy's mattresses.
"How come we get to share and you don't?" Natsu suddenly shouted. Erza turned to him with an intent to kill.
"Because I said so!" she said. "You have a problem with that?" Natsu sttutered and shook his head vigorously. Just the thought of Erza beating you up till you pass out wasn't exactly the best way to fall asleep.
"N-no, ma'am! We'll share! Right, Gray?" he turned to see Gray nodding.
"Y-yeah!" he said as he slung an arm over Natsu. "We're best pals! Right?"
"A-aye~!" Natsu chirped. Erza then smiled at them both.
"Good to see you getting along." she said. Then she turned back to Lucy. "Lucy, the mattresses are ready."
"Okay." Lucy replied. She was tying up her hair in a ponytail style. Then she went to the next room to change into her pyjamas.
A few minutes of silence passed by the room, Gray and Natsu secretly glaring at each other while Erza read a textbook about history in this world. I went out of my room and headed for the bathroom to take a shower before heading off to bed.
As I passed by the kitchen, I saw Lucy drinking a glass of water. She seemed a bit upset since she had a frown on her face as she looked at the reflection of herself through the glass.
"Lucy?" I called. She lifted her head and turned to face me. She smiled sheepishly and tucked a stray strand back to her ear.
"O-oh, Pen-san." she chuckled nervously. "I didn't see you there. Going to take a shower?" she asked, glancing at the red towel I have in my hands.
"Yeah." I nodded. "Anyway, Lucy. What's wrong? You look a bit upset?"
"No!" she responded quickly. Almost too quickly. Hmm... Something's fishy, or my name isn't Lefish Shulenta Sorrin Gurenski!... Which is not.
"I-I... It's nothing..." she muttered. "Anyway, I should be going back. Good night."
I nodded since I don't want to talk anymore. When she left the room, I pondered as to why she was so upset when this afternoon she was busty and rambauctious as ever. I wonder what's wrong.
Shrugging the thought, I went to the bathroom and showered up. A few minutes later, I got out and changed. When I went back to my room, everyone was asleep. Sighing, I dropped my body on my own bed and started to drift off to sleep...
.~ ... ~.
Then... It happened. Those two must have done it on purpose! They weren't even snoring when I got in. I lost a good night's sleep because of them, and I need to rest my eyes or I won't be able to read any fics today. Then out of the 'blue', my head thought of an idea.
I unlocked my phone and looked through the contact list. And after finding who I was looking for, I pressed the 'Call' button and waited for the answer. Let's just hope she'll wake up.
"H-hello..?" a voice asked sleepily through the phone.
"Yeah, uh, hi? It's me." I said.
"Oh..." she muttered. "What the hell! Do you know what time it is?"
"Yeah, yeah." I shrugged. "Anyway, can you come here? Like, now?"
"What?" she asked. "Right now? Are you kidding?"
"Does it sound like I'm kidding?" I asked.
"Well I-"
"Wait..." I cut off. "Don't answer that. I wanna believe the answer is 'no'. Anyway, please~?"
"Ugh... Fine..." she said. "See you in a bit, Pen-san."
"Bye Dani~chan!" I chirped. Then I hung up. Now I just have to wait for her. I stood up, carefully maneuvered myself through the sleeping bodies under me and tip toed my way out of the room. I closed the door with a semi-quiet creak. I walked to the computer and opened it to set it up for her.
As the computer opened up, our doorbell rang. I stood up again and went downstairs to open the gate. There, I saw Dani-chan.
"Good morning, sleepy head." I teased.
"Whatever..." she yawned. "Anyway, what do you want? It's like, 6 : 40 in the morning!"
"Can you read fan fics?" I asked. She raised a brow at me, then yawned again.
"No, duh." she answered. "So?"
"So..." I started. "Would you mind reading a few fics for my friends?"
"Say what?" she looked shocked and angry. "Why would I?"
"Because I know you'll love them!" I said. Yeah, she'll love them! Especially Gray. Hehe.
"Really?" she asked. "Well, where are they?"
"Upstairs." I gestured her to follow. "Come on."
Rolling her eyes, she reluctantly came with me and we headed upstairs. I told her to tip toe our way when we headed to my room. I slowly opened the door, and when I saw the group still sleeping, I looked back to Dani.
She seemed in total shock. I mean, seriously. I nudged her arm a bit, just to snap her out of her shock.
"So?" I asked. "Will you read to them?" She stared at them still, mouth hanging open.
"W-who are they?" she asked, a bit scared.
"Uh, their team Natsu. Dur..." I said like it's the most normal thing in the world. Having a team of magic anime characters sleep in your room is not exactly what you call, 'normal'. Then again, I have done weirder things like this. I suppose I'm just weird like that.
"They're not real, right?" she asked. "Tell me they're not real!" She grabbed my shirt and shook me violently. Geez, Loke much?
"T-they're real..." I muttered as I tried to stop her from making me dizzy. I succeeded, though I saw her looking at them. Wonder what she's up to?
.~ ... ~.
DANI'S P.O.V.
Pen-san must be joking, right? They can't be real, right? I-I must be dreaming! And to prove it, I'll pinch myself on the cheek.
...
...
PINCH!
"Ow!" I shouted. Then I heard Pen-san chuckling. I glared at him intently. "What's so funny?"
"You are!" he pointed at me. "That look on your face is priceless!" He continued to laugh at me. My eye twitched and I huffed at him.
"So they're not real?" I asked. But I really wanted it to be real, even though it's impossible.
"Oh, they're real..." he said as he wiped a tear from his eye. Then, out of nowhere, he shouted, "Free fire chicken! Get your fire chicken here!"
Then, Natsu, or so it seems, jumped out of the bed, grinning madly and looking in every direction before landing his eyes on us.
"I'll have some!" he said excitedly. Pen-san is so~ weird, but the Natsu's voice here did sound like the real Natsu's.
"Nah." Pen said. "Only kidding." He smirked when Natsu frowned and glared at him.
"Why you!" Natsu growled. To my shock, his fist lit on fire! "I'll get you for that!"
"O-okay..." I laughed nervously. Then I turned to Pen and whispered, "They're real, alright! Now, stop him!" He only nodded and stood still. How could he stop him when he's standing still!
Natsu got ready to lunge towards us, fist ablazed. I was literally saying my prayers! I didn't want to die like this! I wanted to die in Gray's arms, you know. Like a dramatic death where he'll kiss me before I die... That would have been sweet. Well, he was right there, sleeping so peacefully. I wish I could have been the one he was dreaming of! Not gonna happen anyway.
"Iron Fist of the-" Natsu was going to lunge at us when he was suddenly stopped by a thrown pillow. The fire died down and he caught the pillow. He put the pillow down to see a very angry Lucy.
"O-oh, morning Lucy!" he exclaimed. Lucy glared at him and threw another pillow.
"The hell are you going on about now!" she exclaimed as she threw pillow after pillow. "I haven't had a good night's sleep yet, mister! And I'm not about to let you ruin it!"
"S-sorry!" Natsu said as he tried to dodge the barrage of what seemed never-ending pillows. I sweatdropped and looked at Pen who was just observing them. How many pillows does he have, anyway?
Suddenly, a foot found its way to Natsu's jaw, throwing him off-balance as another pillow hit him in the face. When I looked down, Gray was wide awake, and was growling at Natsu.
"Damn it, fire-breath!" he exclaimed. "Can't you see I'm trying to sleep!"
"Trying to sleep!" Pen suddenly yelled. I turned to him, a dark aura forming around him as he approached the two. "Because of you two, I didn't get any sleep!" He punched both Natsu and Gray in the head, earning them a large, red bump.
"The hell did we do to you?" Gray asked as he rubbed his head.
"You two had been snoring all night, and I couldn't get any sleep because of it!" Pen exclaimed. "Now, get your sorry butts off the mattress and get the hell out!" He kicked them both on the shins and darted off to where Erza is.
"Erza!" he exclaimed. "Natsu and Gray are being mean to me~!" Erza's eyes opened then glared at the two respectfully.
"Both of you, is that true?" she asked. Before they could respond, Pen already cut them off.
"It's true!" he said. "They said that they should be the main cast and not you! They planned to beat me if I don't do it!"
"WHAT?" the two exclaimed. "But that's not-!" Before they could finish their sentence, they got knocked out by a punch from Erza.
"You greedy pigs!" she growled. "Wait your turn!" They didn't answer since, the hell of me, they were knocked out. But the fact remained that they are real! They are really real! How was that?
I saw Pen-san walking towards me, a victorious grin on his face.
"I win!" he said. "I knew I would!" I rolled my eyes.
"That's because you lied." I said. He stopped abruptly and chuckled nervously.
"Y-yeah, I guess..." he said. "But look! See? They're real!"
"Yeah!" I exclaimed. "How is that?"
"I'll explain later." then he yawned. "Please read them fan fiction..."
"Um... okay?" I said. "What should I read them?"
"Erza fics. Anyone will do..." he said before trudging back to his own bed.
"Erza!" he exclaimed, his voice being muffled by the mattress.
"What?" she asked.
"The girl there is Dani-chan." he said. "She'll be the one reading for you." Erza turned to me, slightly scary from the half-glare her eyes are giving, but then she smiled.
"Nice to meet you." she said. I nodded at her then smiled.
"Nice to meet you too." I said, trying to hide my shaky and excited voice. I've actually met Fairy Tail's team Natsu! There's Gray, and Erza, and Gray, and Lucy, and Gray, and Natsu, and Gray! Oh my god, there's Gray!
"GRAY~!" I exclaimed as I dramatically hugged -tackled- him. He jolted awake and I felt him struggle.
"W-what the hell?" he said. I looked up to him and grinned.
"Your my Gray, now!" I cooed. I buried my face on his naked, hot, chest, earning a squeak of surprise from the raven-haired ice mage. He's so hot! I want to hug him forever!
"G-get off me!" Gray said.
"He's blushing~" I heard Happy say. I giggled and nuzzled my head to his neck.
"No I'm not!" he exclaimed, trying his absolute best to get me off of him. I clamped my hands together and hugged him tighter.
"Don't go~" I whined. "If you go, I'll leave and no one will read Erza her fan fiction!" I felt him stop, then shiver. Imagining Erza angry at not getting what she wants would make any person who watched Fairy Tail cry like a girl.
"F-fine..." he muttered. I looked up to him and saw that he was indeed blushing.
"Ooh..." I said. "Gray is a pervert!" He just huffed at me and looked away.
"No I'm not..." he said.
"Whatever you say~" I whispered. Then I let him go, hearing a sigh of relief from him. I stood up and dusted non-existent dirt from my body. "Anyways, shall we go and read your stories, Erza-san?"
"Just Erza." she said. "And yes, we should go. Natsu, get up!"
"Y-yes Erza!" Natsu suddenly shouted. I could have sworn that he was knocked out only a minute ago. I guess when it's Erza, you can't really disobey her.
We all got out of the room, leaving a quietly snoring Pen-san behind. I closed the door, well slammed if you asked, then chuckled when I heard a squeak from inside.
.~ ... ~.
I sat at the chair near the computer and opened the browser. As we waited, I turned to them to ask a few questions.
"Since when did you guys get here?" I asked.
"Yesterday." Lucy answered. "Your friend opened up a strang site that magically transported us here."
"Hmm..." I hummed. "That lucky bastard. I could have gotten Gray all to myself." Lucy sweatdropped and chuckled nervously.
"R-right..." she said. "Anyway, Dani-san? Can you keep us a secret?"
"Of course I would!" I exclaimed. "I'm not about to expose you guys so they can take you away from me and Pen-san!"
"Thanks." she smiled. "Oh, the browser's ready." I turned to see the tab ready. I typed in and it loaded almost instantly.
"So, what pairs have Pen-san read you before?" I asked as I typed in Erza's name.
"He only read us fiction about Lucy... He was purposely trying to make me jealous!" Erza clenched her fist as I sweatdropped. Really, Erza? Really?
"Ooh, so has he shown you a NaLu yet?" I asked. Everyone, except Natsu, shook their heads.
"Not yet." Lucy inquired.
"Oh..." I wondered. "That's strange..."
"Why is that?" Gray asked me.
"Nothing, my Gray~!" I chirped. He rolled his eyes at me and huffed. I giggled and thought of a great starter for Fairy Tail's Titania. The search results opened and I clicked on a story.
"Anyway, let's start, shall we?" I said to them. They all nodded this time, not waiting a second longer to read a story about Erza.

"My One and Only"

Rate: T
A/N: Yosh! *waves fist in air* Let's get started on a Jellal and Erza fic! Whooooo~! ( Lucy: Jellal and Erza! *squeals* Erza: M-m-me... a-and J-Je-Jellal! *blushes* ) BTW, I don't own FT! This is viewed in Erza's P.O.V.
Game~! Chapter 1:
How could this have happened? How did I let this happen? It was supposed to be a normal hunting mission, but instead, I see this. All of my friends, lying on the ground, bleeding their lives away. ( Gray: I don't think I like this story... Natsu: Yeah... Me too. Dani: Oh, shush! ) I just couldn't believe it. The enemy was more powerful than we thought.
Natsu was the only one strong enough to stand again and join me. But by the looks of it, he wouldn't last any longer. I started to feel the stinging sensation in my eyes. I couldn't see them like this. They all look so helpless. I look so helpless!
"B-bastard..." Natsu muttered at the guy standing in front of us, his arms crossing his chest as a sadistic grin traced his face. Natsu started to trudge towards him, blood dripping from his injured arm with each step.
"Natsu!" I gasped. "Stop it! You can't fight him anymore!"
"I have to!" he shouted. "I can't let them down! Lucy, the ice freak ( Gray: Yep, that sounds about right... ) and you! I can't let him win and I have to save my friends!" I was shocked by his resolve. Even though I had the same, his was more powerful than mine. Then, I heard clapping in front of us. I glared at the man who changed his grin to a smirk.
"Wonderful speech Salamander." he said. "But I'm afraid those are your last words. You will join your beloved friends in the underworld!" He started to cast another spell, a magic circle glowing underneath him.
"SAY GOODBYE, Fairy Tail wizards!" he cackled as the whole area was consumed in light. Natsu stood in front of me to try and fend off the full brunt of the attack to reach me. I only stared wide-eyed, before closing my eyes, accepting the inevitable.
"Natsu..." I muttered as I touched his arm. "I'm sorry..."
"No..." he whispered. "I'm the one who should be sorry. I couldn't protect all of you..." At that, he turned to me and gave me one last look of his grin. "At least we'll enjoy everyone's company in heaven, right?" he was smiling, but inside he was crying. ( Natsu: Damn... this story is sad... ) I smiled sadly when he closed his eyes and looked away, a single tear rolling down his face.
It's really happening. We, the strongest team of Fairy Tail, lost. And we're about to lose all our lives right now. I closed my eyes to wait for the attack. This is it... The end.
"Heavenly Body Magic: Meteor!"
A/N: Dun, dun, dun! Wait for chap 2!
.~ ... ~.
"What the hell was that!" Natsu lost control. "What happened next?"
"Calm down, Natsu." I said. "What happens next is the next chapter!"
"What? Chapter?" Gray asked. "So Erza's story is a bit longer?"
"Yeah-huh!" I said. "Now, lemme just-" Before I could finish my sentence though, the computer shut down and all electricity disappeared from the house.
"Uh-oh..." I whispered.
"What... happened?" Erza asked, rather angrily.
I laughed nervously and scratched my neck. "W-well you see, the power's out. But don't worry! It'll come back on, I hope..."
"Let's just wait it out, Erza." Lucy said. Erza looked stern, then nodded. I hope the electricity comes back soon! I need to find out what happened next!
A/N: *curtain rises*
Me: I'm back, baby! *claps* Anyway, a big shout-out to "Da"! The anonymous reviewer who has been stal- I mean reading fan fiction for years and praised me! XD Thank you so much!
