"Miraculous Starlight!" Celestria and Salamondra finished another mission as she used her powers and fixed everything.

"Another day, another villain beat." Salamondra said as the two stood in the middle of the stadium. "We even did it without any help from the others. I say we're getting better and better, my little star."

"Maybe, but let's not get overconfident. Don't go getting obnoxious either." Celestria said. "I know how you like to boast and think highly of yourself."

"I'm too good to let that happen." Salamondra joked.

"Later." Celestria said as she took off before she changed back. Salamondra thought they didn't have any help, but that's not entirely the case. Black Knight believes Titania and Sylph are gone, but that's not true. The two of them are acting as spies as they remained hidden. Even their appearances have changed. Sylph's hair is now white with her outfit a magenta color that was camouflaged-pattern. Titania's armor was darker in color and her hair turned brown. Celestria made her way down the sewers and met up with the two of them. "Anything?"

"Nothing to report." Sylph said.

"Black Knight didn't try anything this time." Titania said.

"Perfect. Lights Out!" Celestria said as she turned into Lucy again.

"Cease!"

"Armor Off!" Both of them changed back to normal.

"By the way? What do you think of our new outfits? Cool, huh?" Levy questioned. "Pixi and Steel told us that if we concentrate, we can change our appearances. Better fitting for our new roles as your little spies."

"It's perfect so no one will recognize you." Lucy said. "Especially since no one can know you still hold your miraculous, not even Salamondra. Everyone has to believe Titania and Sylph are gone."

"That way we can cover you, or we can follow Black Knight when he shows himself again." Levy said. "Don't worry. We've got everything under control. Right, Erza?" They both turned to her, but Erza looked a little distracted as she looked at her phone and saw she has missed calls from her boyfriend, Jellal. "Erza?"

"Huh? Oh... Right..." Erza said.

"Erza, is everything okay?" Lucy asked. Erza is experiencing herself one of the sacrifices about being a hero.

...

Lucy's Room

"Ever since I was granted full use of the knight miraculous, I had to keep lying to Jella and acting all secretive." Erza said as she was upset she had to do that. The three of them retreated back to Lucy's room and talked about her problems with both of them understanding. "I don't like that I have to keep anything from him. Jellal's always been so supportive and opened with me."

"I understand, Erza, but don't think of it as lying." Lucy said.

"What else could it possibly be if I can't tell him the truth?" Erza said as she was worried and irritated. "What if he starts to lose trust in me?"

"I get it, Erza. I don't like lying to Gajeel." Levy said.

"I had to lie to both of you for a long time." Lucy said as both of them got Erza's position.

"Girls! Who wants fresh croissants?!" Jude called.

"Not now, Dad! We're in the middle of homework!" Lucy called to show a point. "See? I'm even lying to my parents. I get that it's hard, but we don't have a choice. We're superheroes and that comes with sacrifices." Erza hates this, but she understands.

...

Erza

Erza went home and was able to get some time with her boyfriend. She's trying to make it up to him as the two of them hung out at her place, but she was a little distracted with guilt over not being honest with him.

"I was thinking that maybe we could catch a movie tomorrow." Jellal suggested as he rested his head on her lap.

"Huh? Oh... Sounds good." Erza said, but Jellal could tell that there was something wrong.

"Hey. I've been meaning to ask you something." Jellal said. "What made you try out a new hairstyle with that hairclip of yours? You look good either way, but I was wondering why you changed it."

"Just trying something new." Erza claimed, but it was the way she talked that had Jellal worried.

"Erza, you're starting to worry me." Jellal said as he sat up. "You've been acting...distant lately. Is everything okay?"

"Everything is fine. I'm sorry." Erza said as she tried to assure him.

"You know you can tell me anything right? You don't need to hide anything from me." Jellal said sweetly and that made this even harder for her.

"I know. Thank you, but everything is okay." Erza said, but Jellal wasn't really so sure about that. Being a superhero does tend to take a toll on a relationship. Hopefully, Erza can handle it before anything bad comes of it.

...

The Next Day

"I know it's hard for you, Erza, but you're doing the right thing. Just keep telling yourself that." Lucy said as they still kept talking about Erza's problem. As school came to an end, the three of them stepped outside.

"Well, another problem with this is that it's getting hard to find new material for my blog." Levy said. "Since Sylph and Titania aren't suppose to be seen anymore, I can't get good shots of us. On that note, how about you help me out with a little interview with Salamondra. It might help take your mind off your problems."

"I guess it could help." Erza said. As the three of them were walking, Jellal spotted Erza and was hoping to hang with her.

"Hey, Erza. Are we still on for a movie?" Jellal asked, but Erza wasn't sure how to answer with him worried she was going to cancel.

"It's okay. Levy and I can call you if we need you." Lucy assured. That did make Erza feel better as it meant that she can hang out with Jellal again.

"Let's go now!" Erza said as she grabbed Jellal by the arm and dragged him along straight to the movies.

...

The Movies

Erza and Jellal caught a movie just like they planned and glad they were finally able to spend some time with each other. It just so happens that the movie they were watching was about Celestria and Salamondra.

"I don't think they captured Salamondra right. They might have missed him being cocky." Jellal whispered.

"Don't be a dope." Erza whispered. "I don't get why people are always razzing on Salamondra. He's brave, strong, and can be a lot of fun." She claimed with Jellal spotting that smile he loved.

"Didn't know you were a fan." Jellal said. He tried enjoying the movie, but Erza had to be on notice if Celestria needs her help. Jellal did notice her checking her phone, but she tried being innocent about it by hiding away and giving a nervous smile. He was a bit worried, but he just brushed the whole thing off. Once the movie was over, the two of them were hitting the streets. "Shall I take you home, mademoiselle?"

"Cute, but I was thinking I was some ice cream. Check it out." Erza said as they spotted Sherry the ice cream lady. With her ice cream of love, they both thought it was a great idea as they headed over to her cart.

"Erza and Jellal! One of my more favorite couples!" Sherry said as she was excited to see them. "What will it be this time?" Erza was happy she finally got some time with Jellal, but she noticed it had to come to an end as she looked up and spotted Celestria telling her it was time to go.

"Uh... Nothing for me. I just remembered I have homework and I did promise Levy I help her with something." Erza said as she gave Jellal a quick kiss hurried off.

"Uh.. Later." Jellal said as he wasn't sure what else to say. That was right when he looked up and spotted Salamondra heading in the same direction as Erza. "Salamondra?" Jellal began to think something was going on and he didn't really like it.

...

Jellal

Jellal was at home and kept his eye on Levy's blog. Erza was going to make an appearance on it. He listened in closely as he had a feeling that something was off with Erza and he had an idea on what it might be.

"There's a lot of talk about Celestria, but what about Salamondra?" Levy said. "Erza, what do you think of him?"

"What's not to like about him? Not only can is he handsome and funny, but he's a great fighter and can be quite charismatic." Erza said. Erza kept talking a lot about Salamondra and the way she smiled about him was giving Jellal the wrong idea.

"I knew it!" Jellal said as he was video-chatting with the other guys. "She's in love with someone else now!"

"What? You're crazy." Gray said.

"You and Erza have been together since the school year started." Gajeel said.

"Who could Erza even be in love with?" Natsu questioned.

"Salamondra!" Jellal said with some anger, but the others were just laughing at his idea.

"There's no way Erza is in love with Salamondra." Natsu said.

"Well, she always seems to be real happy and smiling when she talks about him. She hasn't been like that for a while." Jellal said. "On top of that, she's acting all secretive. Something's going on with her and I'm going to find out what it is." He said before he ended the chat.

...

Natsu

"There's just no way. Erza in love with Salamondra?" Natsu said with disbelief.

"Interesting. You attract the ladies you don't want, but you never seem to attract the ladies you do want." Igneel teased.

"This can't be right. Erza and Jellal seem perfect for each other. I can't be the reason it ends." Natsu said. "I better check this out to make sure that isn't the case. Igneel, Fire Up!" Natsu transformed into Salamondra and had to make sure love survived.

...

Jellal

Jellal was determined to find the truth on what was going on with Erza. He really believes she's in love with someone else instead of him, and he actually thinks she's in love with Salamondra. Determined to know the truth, he stood outside her apartment building and was hoping to find something. It didn't help that he spotted Salamondra landing down on the balcony that went to Erza's room. He pulled out his phone to make sure he had the proof he needed. Meanwhile, Erza was in her room and was doing some work until she heard someone knocking right out her window.

"Hide, Steel." Erza told her kwami as he quickly hid somewhere else. She went out on the balcony and was surprised to see Salamondra. "Salamondra? What are you doing here?"

"Just came to chat." Salamondra said. "I happen to hear you said some nice things about me on your friend's blog. The way you talked, the way smiled, and you have some high opinions of me. It's got one wondering if perhaps you got feelings for me."

"What? What are you talking about?!" Erza said.

"I'm talking about..." Salamondra said as he formed a heart with his hands. When he did that, Erza couldn't stop herself from laughing. Jellal was watching and was starting to get the wrong idea.

"I'm sorry, but you can't be serious." Erza said. "I already have a boyfriend, and what I feel for him would require more than just two hands to make a heart."

"Yeah. I figured." Salamondra claimed. "Sorry. A friend of mine gave me the crazy idea. I just came to make sure that wasn't the case, was a little worried I would have to break your heart."

"Your friend clearly has the wrong idea." Erza said as she playfully poked against him. "In my eyes, no one is better for me than Jellal. He's... He's irreplaceable to me. Besides, I don't even know who you are under that mask."

"I get it. How you feel about this Jellal is how I feel about Celestria." Salamondra said. "I just wanted to clear up any confusion and didn't want to break your heart." He ended things on good terms by giving her a friendly hug, but Jellal got the wrong idea on what all of that was about and was angry now.

...

The Next Day

The next day came and Natsu arrived at school. He was glad to know Erza wasn't in love with Salamondra. All he needs now is to let Jellal know so he has nothing to worry about. When he walked through the entrance, he spotted Jellal.

"Hey, Jellal!" Natsu said.

"Got a minute, Natsu? I need a friend to vent to." Jellal said as he sounded serious. Natsu didn't like how this sounded. The two of them went down the boiler room so they could talk in private. When they got down there, Natsu noticed a few things on a desk like a few photos of Salamondra with his phone and even a radio that was faintly playing music for dramatic effect.

"Jellal? What is all of this?" Natsu questioned.

"Remember what you and the others said yesterday? I thought Erza might be in love with Salamondra and you all thought it was crazy." Jellal said. "Well, I have proof now." He showed his phone and showed the video he had with Natsu shocked to see Jellal was there. Natsu hit play, but the camera was too far to catch any sound. Still, it did look like the two of them were a little friendly with each other.

"Jellal, this doesn't prove anything. You can't even hear what they're talking about." Natsu said.

"Well, how else do you explain this? Why else would Salamondra be there? Why are they acting that way in the video?" Jellal questioned.

"But they don't even have anything in common. Sure, Erza is a great girl, but she doesn't even know who Salamondra is. No one knows who Celestria and Salamondra are." Natsu claimed. "They might have done heroic things, but how could Erza be in love with him when she doesn't know who he is?"

"I bet he did tell her!" Jellal said.

"No way. Jellal, I'm sure this whole thing is a misunderstanding." Natsu assured, but it didn't appear to be working.

"Yeah right!" Jellal said as he smashed his fist against the desk. He grabbed one of the photos of Salamondra and stared down at it with rage. "What if he got tired of Celestria constantly rejecting him? Whenever he was around her, he acts like he's at her beck and call. He showers her with roses and devoted to her, but she shoots him down every time. I'm starting to see why. It's because he's obnoxious and cocky. So, he decides to move and goes to my Erza. She's been acting secretive, goes off to see him, and he played the moves on her where it looks like it worked." He said as he crippled the photo with his hand as he was mixed with anger and sadness. "And now, I lost the girl I love. If I could, I burn that dragon."

...

Black Knight

"The first person I etheriouized... It was out of love before and it's out of love again." Black Knight said as he felt Jellal's anger and sadness. "This time, he wants to crush his love rival, and it just so happens to be Salamondra. Perfect." He said as he took an etherious in his hands and filled it with dark power. "Fly, my little etherious. Give him what he desires!"

...

Jellal

"Jellal, calm down. I'm sure there's a good explanation for all of this." Natsu said as he tried to keep Jellal calm, but it was too late. The etherious made it's way to him and went into the crippled photo.

"Sema, we meet again. I am Black Knight. Salamondra has taken the one you love? Well, I'll give you the power needed to crush him."

"I know what you want in return. When I get done with him, his miraculous will be all that's left of him." Jellal said as he accepted the power and transformed into Sema.

"Jellal! No!" Natsu said as he grabbed him and tried to stop him, but Sema just threw him off.

"You're not my enemy, Natsu. The one I want is Salamondra." Sema said and moved out of there.

"Given the circumstances, maybe it's best to lay low." Igneel said.

"I can't leave Jellal like this! Igneel, Fire Up!" Natsu transformmed into Salamondra once again. He's the one Sema wants and he's got to be the one to fix this. He's got to try and do something to save his friend.

...

The Girls

"And that's why he showed up in the middle of the night." Erza said as she, Levy, and Lucy were in the art room and talking about what happened the other night. "Some friend of his gave him this crazy idea that I was in love with him." Levy and Erza laughed at the idea, but Lucy just so annoy with Salamondra's antics that she facepalmed.

"Salamondra..." Lucy complained. That was right when they heard a commotion outside and it didn't sound good. Everyone hurried towards the window and saw Salamondra and Sema fighting.

"Salamondra! You're going to pay for stealing Erza from me!" Sema shouted. He charged himself up with power and jumped up in the air. He came down to strike Salamondra, but he jumped out of the way as Sema left a large impact in the ground.

"I didn't steal anyone! Erza loves you!" Salamondra said.

"Liar!" Sema shouted as he went right at him and kept trying to attack him.

"Jellal thinks Salamondra stole you from him?" Levy questioned.

"Oh, Jellal! No!" Erza said as she didn't like this at all.

"Come on! We've got to do something before they hurt each other!" Lucy said as the three of them snuck away to find a place to transform. The three of them searched around until they decided on the boiler room. "Perfect. We can transform in here."

"Wait. Do you hear something?" Levy questioned as they could all hear faint music. They followed it and found Jellal's little setup. That was also where Lucy found the video of Erza and Salamondra.

"Erza...?" Lucy said as she showed it to Erza and wondered if something did happened.

"It's not what you think! Nothing really happened between us!" Erza said while Levy took a look.

"No sound. The camera is too far away." Levy said.

"If Jellal heard what we were talking about, he would know I'm not in love with Salamondra." Erza claimed.

"We'll deal with it once we stop him. Stella, Twinkle!" Lucy transformed and got straight to work.

"Open the Celestial Gate!" Celestria used her powers and ended up getting a projector with the Leo sign. "A Leo projector? What do I do with this?"

"Act like a director and make up movies in your head?" Erza suggested. Celestria tried to figure out what to do as she spotted the projector, the phone, and the fairy miraculous.

"Levy, you think you can generate sound with your Solid Script?" Celestria asked.

"I believe so." Levy said.

"I think this will require more Erza than Titania." Celestria said as she knows what to do.

...

The Fight

"Jellal! I don't want to fight you!" Salamondra said as he kept moving around to avoid Sema's attacks. "Just let me explain!"

"I don't want to hear lies!" Sema shouted as he tried striking him with his arm, but Sema grabbed a hold of it and threw him back.

"I'll prove to you I'm not lying!" Salamondra said as he took his staff and just discarded it.

"That proves nothing!" Sema shouted as he flew right at Salamondra. Salamondra didn't even try to defend himself. He allowed the attack to come at him and was thrown right against a van. When he fell down from it, Sema caught him just to throw him back on the van.

"See? I don't want to fight. Can we talk now?" Salamondra weakly asked.

"Shut him up for good." Black Knight claimed.

"It's over." Sema said as he reached for Salamondra and was ready to finish him off.

"Jellal!" Celestria called as she stood at the top of a building. "I have something you need to see!" She said as she showed his phone connected to the projector. "I managed to get a super-advance projector that will allow you to hear what's on your phone! This should prove Salamondra's innocence!" While she got the projector ready, Sylph kept herself hidden.

"Solid Script: Sound!" As Celestria started the video and the projector showed it on a wall, Sylph used her wand to write "Sound" and used her wand like a microphone with Erza helping her out. They were even able to mimic the voices.

"What? What are you talking about?!"

"I'm talking about..."

"I'm sorry, but you can't be serious. I already have a boyfriend, and what I feel for him would require more than just two hands to make a heart."

"Yeah. I figured. Sorry. A friend of mine gave me the crazy idea. I just came to make sure that wasn't the case, was a little worried I would have to break your heart."

"Your friend clearly has the wrong idea. In my eyes, no one is better for me than Jellal. He's... He's irreplaceable to me. Besides, I don't even know who you are under that mask."

"I get it. How you feel about this Jellal is how I feel about Celestria. I just wanted to clear up any confusion and didn't want to break your heart." Erza was able to copy everything that was said word for word with Jellal astonished on what he heard. That was when Erza could come out of hiding.

"Jellal!" Erza called as she ran to him.

"I... I can't believe I doubted you." Sema said as he felt so ashamed for how he acted.

"It's okay. I'm here now." Erza said as she hugged him. "I was so scared I lost you there."

"I'm so sorry." Sema as he hugged her back. "Black Knight! Our deal is off!" He called as he was able to break himself free from Black Knight's power with the connection shattering. That caused him to change back with the etherious flying out and that allowed Celestria to activate her whip.

"No more evil-doing you, little etherious. Time to de-evillize!" She threw her whip and was able to catch it. "Gotcha! Bye-Bye, little guy." She said as he released it. "Miraculous Starlight!" She threw the projector in the air and the magic stars healed all the damage that was done.

...

Black Knight

"Love and secrets don't mix, Celestria. Your secrets will end up being your demise eventually." Black Knight claimed as he knows that once Celestria's secrets are exposed, victory will be his.

...

Celestria

Since the fight was now over, Celestria had only one task left. She formed a new yellow charm with a star in a star.

"Jellal, keep this magic charm with you." Celestria said as she gave it to Jellal. "It will protect you from ever falling under Black Knight's power again."

"Thank you, but I won't need it." Jellal said as he had a firm hold of Erza's hand. "I was wrong about you, Salamondra. I'm sorry."

"It's fine. The whole thing was a big misunderstanding." Salamondra said as he was expecting Celestria to pound it.

"How could you think Erza was in love with you when she doesn't even know who you are?" Celestria said as she didn't seem happy with him.

"It's not my fault. A friend of mine put the idea in my head. I was just making sure that wasn't the case." Salamondra.

"Right... A friend..." Celestria said as she didn't quite believe him. "You are unbelievable."

"Jealous?" Salamondra teased.

"No. I'm getting annoyed with your behavior! Can't you take anything serious?!" Celestria said as she was annoyed with Salamondra's attitude and just left that place with Salamondra getting a little annoyed himself. Seems the perfect duo is having some trouble in paradise.

...

Erza

"I'm really sorry, Erza." Lucy said as she and Erza were chatting over the phone. "I never meant to cause trouble between you and Jellal."

"It's okay. Just let me handle this now. Do you trust me?" Erza said.

"Of course." Lucy said. With Erza ending the call, she braced herself for what she needed to do. It was just her and Jellal in her room and thought this was the best time to do this. "Jellal, there's something I have to tell you."

"Is everything okay?" Jellal asked.

"I have been keeping a secret from you." Erza said as she's doing what Lucy did. She moved to where Steel was hiding and revealed him to Jellal with Jellal surprised to see a kwami for the first time.

"Lady Erza, what are you doing?!" Steel questioned.

"The truth is that I'm really Titania, Jellal. This is Steel, the kwami that Celestria entrusted to me." Erza admitted.

"You... You're Titania?!" Jellal said as he couldn't believe it.

"Yes, but Black Knight knows it too." Erza claimed. "I'm in hiding now and everyone has to believe that Titania is gone, but I'm really acting as Celestria's spy. I couldn't tell you before, but I'm telling you now because...I love you." She said as she hugged Jellal and Jellal was amazed that Erza trusted him enough to tell him this as he wrapped his arms around her. It made their love stronger. Love and secrets might have trouble mixing, but there's something to be said if you love someone enough to trust them with your secrets. That's what Erza is doing for Jellal.
