Sometimes waking up early was difficult for Erza. Lately, it's been a pain since she's been accepting difficult quests. But nevertheless, sleeping in wasn't an option for her.

After finishing her morning routine and getting dressed in something comfy, she made her way towards the kitchen for some breakfast.

And today's breakfast was going to be amazing. The sweet scent of batter being cooked filled the kitchen. Her mom was making her world-famous Belersion Waffles. Always cooked to golden crispy perfection, topped with jelly, cream, and fresh strawberries. Every bite exploded with flavor and filled you with pure joy.

Everyone was already seated at the table. Natsu and Happy were scarfing down their waffles. The Twins were chatting and eating with Frosch and Lector doing the same and Gajeel was cutting Wendy's waffles into pieces, making it easier for her to eat. Irene was mixing some batter in a large bowl to place on the waffle iron.

"Hey, sweetie!" she called out as Erza took her place at the table. "Are you hungry?"

"Of course. Your waffles are the best!"

Irene winked. "Well, that's no surprise. I perfected my recipe after all."

Erza giggled at her mother's bragging. She sure was prideful of her waffles.

"Erza! Erza!"

She turned her attention to Wendy whose face was covered in syrup. She smiled at the display.

"Yes, Wendy?"

"Look!", the little girl pointed with her plastic fork at her plate of waffles. It appeared that Wendy had organized her waffles into a smiley face.

"Oh wow's that super adorable Wendy!" Erza complimented as she pinched the little girl's cheek. "Hehe! Thanks, Erza!"

"Here you go Erza," said Irene as she placed a plate of fresh waffles in front of her. She felt her mouth water at the delicious scent.

She wasted not a single second as she loaded her breakfast with the condiments that were laid out on the table. After she had assembled the ultimate breakfast waffle, she gave her a pat on the back. Grabbing her knife and fork, "Come to mama!"

Just before her knife could even touch a waffle, she felt a shiver run up her spine. Her utensils trembled in her hands. This feeling…

Erza knew this feeling. Oh, this awful feeling. She knew something bad was about to happen.

Walking into the kitchen in nothing but a bathrobe was one man that Erza was horrified of. Yes, even the mighty Titania feared that thing. It downright frightened the poor woman.

"Dad!" yelled out everyone.

Erza choked on her saliva.

"Ah the wonderful perfume of my family and wife!" exclaimed Ichiya proudly as he did his signature pose.

"Good morning my dear! You slept in pretty late!" smiled Irene as she walked over and leaned in to kiss him.

That haunting sight lasted for what seemed like an eternity.

"Yes, indeed my beautiful wife! Especially after last night, I imagine so!"

"Oh stop you!" giggled Irene as she playful slapped him on the shoulder.

Everyone laughed at the banter except Erza who was basically dying inside.

Ichiya walked over to Erza. "My precious daughter Erza! I remember like it was just yesterday that you were just a baby! How time flies!"

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAA!" screamed Erza.

She woke up, her entire body drenched in a cold sweat. She was shaking uncontrollably.

Her door swung open, Irene in a bathrobe and Gildarts with just a towel wrapped around his waist.

"Erza! Honey what's wrong!"

Erza shrieked at the sight of a nearly naked Gildarts. "What the?! Gildarts, what are you doing here?!"

The two looked at Erza like she had just come out from living under a rock for the past eighteen years.

"Erza…what are you talking about? I and Gildarts have been married for two years now."

"You know it babe!" flexed Gildarts as he delivered a spank to Irene's bottom.

The woman giggled and leaned on Gildarts. Her fingers traced his abs. "Not in front of Erza dear!"

He lifted Irene into arms, carrying her bridal style. "Let's go make another Natsu!"

Erza felt her soul wither away as she watched Gildarts carry her squealing mother to the bedroom.

*GASP!*

Erza woke with a desperate howl. She frantically sat up and stared at her surroundings. It was dark. She looked at her bedside clock

3:56 AM

She felt a weight on her lap and she looked down. There laid ¾ of strawberry cake eaten. She licked her lips, tasting the frosting that stained the corners of her mouth.

Erza let out a sigh.

"Yeah…no more midnight snacks…"
