A/N: Look I'm back! Thank you everyone for your wonderful reviews! They really make my day. Here comes my first Jerza oneshot. If you guys didn't know, Jerza is my Fairy Tail OTP so if you have anything for me to write about them, do tell. I am also extremely picky about my prompts, so if I reject one, I'm very sorry. It's really difficult for me to write when I'm not very into the prompt.

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail or the prompts (most of the time).

Prompt: Jellal and Erza fight over the last box of strawberries at a supermarket.

4. The Strawberry Altercation

Jellal didn't know what possessed him to do it. It was insane. It was illogical. No normal man would ever such a thing. There was no way any sane person was crazy enough to do this. Yet, there he was.

There Jellal was, standing in front of his mirror sporting a curly blonde wig, a large sun hat, a flowery purple dress, gigantic dark shades, and of course, cherry red lipstick. (What, Jellal knew that he had to be believable). He clutched a large grass green glossy plastic bag in his right hand and was teetering on pointy black stilettos.

Why was Jellal in this horrid getup, one might ask. Why bother dressing up like some lonely old cat lady who only shopped at a thrift store? See, Jellal was on his way to the supermarket. Of course that doesn't provide a logical explanation for why he was dressed up so, but he was going to the supermarket. Why was he going to the supermarket?

See, Erza's birthday was the very next day. She had mailed him an invitation requesting his presence at her small birthday dinner (His code name was Mrs. Flutterbutter Vedowski), and he knew that it would please her if he brought her a strawberry cake, just like the ones she always ate. However, Jellal didn't want to just walk by the bakery and pick up a strawberry cake. It was something anyone would do. Someone, maybe even Erza herself, would have already bought the cake, especially with the famous Titania's birthday rounding the corner.

No, that year Jellal wanted to pour his heart into a cake that he made for Erza. He wanted to make a one of a kind cake for the woman that he loved, the woman that walked in the light so far out of his reach. He wanted to see her reaction when he brought her a cake that he had made from scratch, for her and only her. He had all the ingredients necessary.

He had all the ingredients… except for the strawberries.

The flat that Meredy, Ultear, and he shared was always stocked with their favorite foods. Meredy and Ultear weren't too fond of strawberries, and Jellal was always depressed upon seeing them, so the trio just didn't have any strawberries in the house. That was why he was set out to go buy some.

His… interesting attire was a whole other matter. Still a wanted criminal, Jellal couldn't exactly waltz out of his heavily disguised home to the supermarket in his normal clothes and hair and face. Someone… no, everyone would recognize him and then off to prison he would go. It would not be a good idea to step out without a disguise.

Why a thrift shop cat lady appearance though? That was due to Meredy's and Ultear's amazing sense of humor. When moving into their new home together, the three decided that they needed to establish new names and appearances for when they went outside. All were convicted criminals after all. They couldn't just walk around freely in an area so near to the Wizard Council Headquarters. And so, Ultear decided that she would be Lily-Rose Vedowski with Meredy as Marigold Vedowski, her twin sister. Both were still fairly young and their so obviously feminine features prevented them from disguising themselves otherwise. Ultear had considered making Jellal their older brother, but with the heavy makeup required to hide the tattoo on his face, a male disguise was out of the question.

…

"Since Jellal has to be a girl, shouldn't we make him our triplet?" Meredy asked, swinging her legs as she perched on the edge of the dinner table.

"He'd make an extremely ugly triplet." Ultear laughed, shaking her head. She stared at Jellal intently, making the blue haired male uncomfortable. "He is too masculine to be disguised as a young lady."

"He's too masculine to be disguised as any lady, Ul." Meredy stuck out her tongue in response to Ultear's observations. Jellal wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead.

"I still don't understand why I can't just be a male. Surely you two can do makeup well enough so that it won't show. The whole point of makeup is to cover things up and be unnoticeable, right?" Jellal attempted to change Ultear's idea of making him dress up as a woman. What if Erza saw him?

"Your skin is pale as it is Jellal." Ultear responded as if that statement answered all of his questions. "You will be our amazingly hip mother." Meredy fell off the table laughing. Jellal, on the other hand, was not amused.

"I swear, Ultear, if you force me into one of those raunchy ponchos and kilts I will obliterate you." He growled, a terrifying picture of him dressed in said outfit flashing in his mind.

"You'll look fabulous." Ultear insisted.

…

Jellal stared at his reflection in the mirror one last time, took a deep breath, and stepped outside, bracing himself for the strange glances at his terrifying appearance.

…

Erza desperately craved strawberry cake. She didn't dare approach the bakery, for she knew that the baker was probably overrun with orders for the upcoming Fairy Tail Grand Festival. How did she know this? She had attempted to request a strawberry cake for her birthday, but the baker apologized and informed her that there was no way he could make any extra cakes at the moment. All his work needed to be concentrated on the festival. Curled up on her couch in her apartment in Fairy Hills, she fiddled with the paws of the stuffed bear Jellal had given her for Christmas. The ribbon tied around its neck was strawberry red. Mmmm… strawberries.

That was it. She had enough. She needed to go get strawberries and make herself a strawberry cake or else she'd go insane. Erza shot up from her position on the couch, sending a bunch of pillows flying off of it. She carefully picked up said pillows and arranged them on the couch.

"RE-EQUIP!" She exclaimed, then examined her appearance in the mirror. She was dressed in what she called her 'there is no way that anyone will ever recognize who I am or even bother looking twice at me' outfit.

Her scarlet hair was covered by an electric blue wig. She was dressed in a basic Heart Kreuz blouse and skirt. She was wearing knee high combat boots, green contacts, and her face was covered in makeup. She nodded at her appearance with approval, grabbed a bag of Jewels, then strolled out of Fairy Hills.

…

Jellal had to admit that his appearance gave him a big advantage when entering the market. Ultear had ensured that 'Mrs. Flutterbutter Vedowski' had a nasty attitude and a tendency to scream at anyone who displeased her. Therefore, a path automatically opened for him to walk into the supermarket and get through the crowd of people buying last minute supplies for the Fairy Tail Grand Festival.

He hurried over to the produce section, scanning the aisles for strawberries. His eyes locked onto the red fruits. There they were! He hurried over, noticing that there was only one box of strawberries left. He had to get them. There was no way he was going to let Erza down like this.

Out of the corner at his eye, he spotted a woman with electric blue hair speeding over to the strawberries as well. He was slightly afraid, seeing the glint in her eyes as she approached the strawberries. He shook off his thoughts. He couldn't back down, even if the woman that he was to battle for this last box of strawberries looked like the devil from hell himself. He quickened his pace.

…

Erza, seeing the seemingly elderly woman hurry toward the strawberries, nearly stopped in her tracks. Even she had the decency to respect her elders. She hesitated, looking back and forth between the woman and the box of strawberries. Which should she choose? The thought of having to return to her couch to long for a strawberry cake pained her.

"I'M SORRY!" She screamed. She broke into a sprint and snatched the box of strawberries. Time slowed. Erza could see the woman gaping at her. Erza could see the woman's eyes narrow and her mouth press firmly together.

"I NEED THOSE!" The woman screamed in a surprisingly deep voice. The woman leapt forward with surprising agility and snatched the strawberries from Erza's hands. The woman ran as fast as she could away from Erza, who immediately chased after her.

…

Jellal had to admit that the woman chasing him was extremely terrifying. There was this evil glint in her eyes as she sped toward him. Her face was filled with fury. How could one woman be so affected by the fact that a simple box of strawberries was taken from her? He increased his pace thinking of the one woman he knew would act like that.

Suddenly, he found a sword at his throat and a hand around his neck. He turned ever so slightly to see his captor. The angry blue haired woman had caught up with him and was now holding a blade to his neck.

"Hand over the strawberries." The woman growled dangerously. "I don't usually threaten the elderly like this, but I need. Those. Strawberries."

Jellal, still clutching the box of strawberries, thought that the voice sounded oddly familiar. He caught scent of what he thought was strawberry shampoo, similar to Erza's shampoo, but shook it off. It was probably just the scent of the box of strawberries he was holding. He was just delusional. There was no way Erza would be out and about buying strawberries at this time of the day. Besides, it would be too coincidental to run into her like this. ...Plus he didn't want her to ever see him in his old lady getup.

"Sorry." Jellal managed to choke out. "I really do need these." His eyes followed the sword down to its hilt. He paused. This sword…

"DON'T YOU DARE TAKE THESE STRAWBERRIES AWAY FROM ME. YOU'RE ASKING FOR A DEATH WISH, WOMAN." The blue haired menace snarled. "THIS IS THE LAST BOX OF STRAWBERRIES IN THE STORE. AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE NEW AROUND HERE, BUT NO ONE. I REPEAT. NO ONE TAKES STRAWBERRIES FROM ME." Jellal sighed. His suspicions had been correct it seemed.

"Erza, it's me." he said in his normal voice.

"I HAVE NO IDEA WHO 'ERZA' OR 'ME' IS, SHUT YOUR TRAP, LADY." Erza growled. She snatched the box of strawberries from his hands then sped off to pay for them. Jellal shook his head. At least he knew that the last box of strawberries was in the hands of the woman he had intended to give it to. He bit his lip and stared at the blue haired woman paying for the strawberries. He just hoped that Erza had really not recognized him.

…

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERZA!" The entire Fairy Tail guild plus Crime Sorciere exclaimed. Erza beamed and blew the candles on the strawberry cupcake in front of her. The entire guild cheered and began to swarm the scarlet haired beauty with gifts. She laughed and accepted them all, thanking each and every one of them.

Jellal stepped forward and handed her a plush bear holding a strawberry.

"Do you like it?" He asked anxiously. Erza responded by kissing him on the cheek.

"Thank you! I'm surprised you got me this." She said, blushing. "I was under the impression that you would be baking me a cake." Jellal froze.

"Uh… about that. Um, they were out of strawberries at the market, so I couldn't get any to make the cake." He said awkwardly. Erza looked shocked.

"Oh that must have been my fault. I bought the last box of strawberries. Jellal, you wouldn't believe it. There was this HORRIBLE lady trying to take the last box of strawberries from me. She looked so ugly and her name was something like Mrs. Flutterbutter. I saw her ID. You would never believe how horrible she was. I beat her of course. I AM Erza Scarlet of FAIRY TAIL."

Meredy and Ultear sniggered at the look on Jellal's face as he attempted to stop Erza's rant about his… alternate form.
