DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN FAIRY TAIL

"Tattoo Mishap"

"Sherry, I don't think this is a good idea." Levy said lowly. She sat at a table with Sherry, Cana, Lucy, and Mirajane. Fairy Tail was holding a small festivity for mages. It's been around half a year since the Grand Magic Games and they had formed great relations with the guilds that were in the finals of the GMG. The festivity was held in a big open area near the FT guild

"Of course it is. He must show his true love for Juvia." Sherry smiled eagerly.

As everyone knew, Gray has always denied liking Juvia romantically. His actions betray his words however most of the time. So, in order to "purify" his usual cold exterior, Sherry had searched for a spell or potion that can reveal his true feelings or cast away his coldness away (for a while). Anything really. In the end, she created a rune spell that should separate his heart and mind, metaphorically of course.

"Why are you so interested in Juvia's love life anyways?" Cana asked while taking a sip of her beer.

"Yes, why are you?" Mira asked in a knowing way.

Unfazed by Mira's smirking eyes, Sherry explained that she couldn't take seeing his denial of love for Juvia. It is so obvious that they like each other and should be a couple.

"I guess it is time that Gray tells her how he really feels..." Lucy mused. She had no doubt that her teammate likes Juvia and may even cross the border into love. "I'm in. I'll go call him over."

"OR," Cana drawled and turned her body towards the direction of Gray. "YO GRAY! Get your butt over here for a moment!"

"KINDA BUSY!" Gray yelled back and dodged a fist from Elfman.

"MIRA!" That was all it took for Gary to come running over at the mention of the demon's name.

"Yes!" Gray sweated nervously at Mira's smiling face.

"Good, now Sherry has something to give you." Cana gestured to the dark pink haired girl.

"Okay?" Gray said skeptically. It was rare that Cana would call him over despite being close when they were kids, but it was even weirder that his brother's guild mate would give something to him.

"It's just a tattoo that I made from my love." Sherry lied partly. Technically, the rune spell was condensed onto a small sheet of paper and all she needed to do was paste it on someone's skin like a tattoo, and it is out of her love...so the only technical lie would be the spell being just a tattoo. It being a spell was just something that she didn't say and that he hadn't asked about it since he only shrugged his shoulders. "Any place you prefer?"

"It's temporary, right?" Sherry nodded. "I guess you can just paste it on my right bicep." He has his Fairy Tail tattoo on his right pec, his demon slaying power tattoo on his right arm, so might as well put it on his right side as well.

"Okay, just hold still for a moment."

Lucy and Levy looked eagerly at what should happen next. Should being the key word because usually anything involving Fairy Tail doesn't always go right in the process. This time was no exception. Just as she was mere centimeters away from Gray's bicep, he was knocked away by someone bulldozing into him. It all happened so fast that Sherry didn't register that her tattoo was gone from her hands.

Plastered to a wall of a building, Gray groaned in pain and felt warmth on his chest. He looked to see bright blue hair right in his face. "You alright man?"

"Yeah." Jellal said and pulled himself up to dust himself and Gray did the same. "Sorry about that."

"What happened anyways?"

Jellal blinked. "I'm not entirely sure, but I forgot how strong Erza can be."

Gray chuckled. Then he noticed that Jellal has a piece of paper plastered onto the left cheek. "Oh man, sorry that you got tattooed by Sherry."

"What?" Jellal blinked in surprise at that statement.

Gray explained what had transacted earlier before the two of them hit the wall. Also telling him that it was no big deal on who got it, he thinks so anyways.

The girls knew better though.

Jellal peeled the paper off to see that the paper didn't have anything on it which means that the tattoo was pasted on his face. "What is it anyways?"

"I'm not sure." Gray scratched his head. "It's basically a heart in some sort of cloud shape."

The two remained silent at Sherry's design.

"Oh my love!" Sherry panicked that she wasn't holding a piece of paper. "Where did my tattoo go?"

"Tch." Cana took a swig from her bottle. "That dumbass Jellal whisked your tat right of your hand."

"Say what?" Levy and Lucy gasped.

"Je-llal?" Sherry looked up, trying to remember who that was.

"The one Erza likes." Mira provided

"Oh!" Sherry's eyes lightened up in realization. "Jellal. If it's him, then it is okay."

"Because the two (Erza and Jellal) deny their feelings?" Cana snorted.

"Exactly." Sherry cooed as she imagined that the mysterious Jellal would tilt Erza's chin up, give a smirk to which Erza would wide eyed at, and then lean towards each other for a kiss. How romantic in a badass-boy-with-a-tsundere-girl type of way. "I'll make another one so don't worry about it."

"I have a question though," Lucy rose a hand slightly. "How does it activate though? You mentioned that its has a combination of runes in there, so what activates the magic?"

"Simple, the one who was tattooed just has to be within a ten feet radius for it to activate. Nothing too complicated. But oh, love is a complicated matter." Sherry gushed.

"Speaking of complications," Cana started and earned glares from the girls who were at the table except for Sherry. "Why did you break off the engagement?" The brunette didn't care that she was prying but seeing that Sherry's "good luck" charm held a dark pink and white, she had a pretty good guess why along with Mira. She had lost 10,000 jewels to the she-demon when they saw Sherry arrived.

Sherry laughed a bit awkwardly. "I guess our love was never meant to be," she smiled sadly, remembering the conversation she had with Ren. Just as quickly as they had announced it, they had ended it. It was best that they ended it rather quickly lest of it going to far along. "The feelings were mutual I assure you. It just wasn't right for us."

"Oh," Levy mumbled sadly. She thought that the two made a cute couple in that they were all lovey-dovey, but she had always thought that Sherry and Lyon would be in a relationship eventually. So it came as a surprise that after the seven years that she was trapped on Tenrou, Sherry had gotten together with Ren.

"Don't be sad Levy-chan," Sherry gave a soft smile. "I was very much happy with Ren because we did love each other with all our hearts, and we still do, but it's different now."

"Hmm, is this why Sherry. . ." Lucy's thought was interrupted when she saw that Gray and Jellal were coming towards them.

Gray looked a little sheepish that Jellal bore Sherry's tattoo instead of him. Jellal looked the same as well.

"So look, I'm sorry that this didn't happen like you intended-" Gray started but Sherry cut him off by saying that it was alright. It didn't really matter [coughliescough] who was tattooed; she just wanted to test it out.

"So," Lucy drawled eagerly after the two boys were out of earshot, "what are the chances that he'll be near Erza anytime soon?"

Cana scrunched her face. "Not anytime soon." The occupants of the table turned towards Jellal who was heading towards Ultear, Meredy, and Lyon. Lyon only being there to try to talk with Meredy who had no interest. "He sure moves on fast." Lyon that is.

"Eh, can't be any worser than Loke/Ren." Both Lucy and Sherry commented at the same time. They looked at each other with an understanding gaze on the matters of the playboy type. Although Ren had been a good boyfriend, he still flirted with others but not as much as when he was single. It didn't really bother her since she saw that he was trying to cool down his ways and that was just love in itself that he was changing his ways for her.

"Oh look," Levy pointed with a surprised look on her face. Not even a minute after the girls had turned away from Jellal that the spell activated. Since Levy was coincidentally facing in the direction of their target, she saw that as he approached more towards Ultear to probably discuss something, she saw that Erza was flung towards the young man. When Erza got within ten feet of Jellal, a light had emitted from his left cheek and soon encased him.

The bright light had blinded everyone except for Sting since, well, he is a white (aka light) dragon slayer and light is his thing and all.

When the light faded, everyone gasped and were mind blown at what they saw.

There, standing in front of Ultear, and there, face-planting on the by Erza, were Jellal. Two of them.

"Holy Crap!"

"Seriously, Sherry," Levy hissed. "What did you do?!"

"Oh my love," Sherry gasped with a hand covering her mouth. She gulped before answering, "I don't know Levy, it was meant to separate the mind and heart. Why would..."

Wow was what the girls at the table thought. Sherry had probably literally separated the mind and heart.

"Jellal?" Ultear asked carefully as she looked from the one standing in front of her and the one who was still face-planted on the ground by Erza who was too shocked to get up.

"Uh Erza," Meredy said slowly. "I think you should get off of him."

With those words, Erza was shocked back to reality and quickly stood up, pulling Jellal up after she did so.

The Jellal standing kept looking at Ultear which was making her a bit nervous as to why he was.

The Jellal who just got up noticed that a man who looked very much like him was staring at his guildmate. "Hey, who're-"

The other Jellal turned to look at him with a familiar smirk. Yes, that same smirk that he wore those years ago. The smirk of when he ruled the Tower of Heaven as-

"Siegrain." The other Jellal, now dubbed as Siegrain, answered. "Fitting, is it not?"

"How?!"

Siegrain shrugged carelessly and turned back to Ultear with a smirk. She unknowingly leaned back a little since she was weirded out with turn of events. One minute there was one Jellal, and less then half a minute popped another one.

"It's nice to see you again Ultear." Siegrain said and reached for her right hand to kiss. "A pleasure, is it not?"

Everyone witnessing this had a gobsmacked look. The Jellal look alike was flirting which basically gives them a show of Jellal flirting.

"Possibly." Ultear said with narrowed eyes. Just what was he playing at.

Cana laughed wholeheartedly at what was happening. "Ah, Fairy Tail. Nothing ever goes right."

Levy and Lucy groaned in acknowledgement. "No kidding"

"Oh look," Cana said when Gray pointed at Sherry. "Someone's thrown under the bus."

"Don't worry Sherry, I'm sure they'll only want an explanation...and a cure." Mira comforted but at the same time she pushed the pinkette forward. "No need to worry."

Sherry gulped when she saw that all eyes were on her. Sighing, she walked over and quickly explained her plan about the tattoo.

"You were going to put this on ME!" Gray shouted.

Sherry flinched back a little. "Yes. I only sought to help your love problem."

"I don't have a love problem." Gray quickly denied. Everyone rolled their eyes at this, even Juvia.

"Oh wow," Levy commented. "Think about what it would be like with two Gray's."

An image of Juvia passed out from seeing two half naked Gray's popped to mind as well as her saying, "How will I choose between Gray-sama and Gray-sama?"

"A dream come true for Juvia." Lucy sighed.
