The Dragon and The Princess

Chapter 9

•Erza's POV•

   "Erza, It's that time of year again." My fiancé, Jellal Fernandes stated. I looked over to him while he used his fork to grab pieces of my cake. Wrong move Jellal, wrong move. Before he had the chance to pick one up I sent him my best death glare. No matter how much I loved him, he was not going to get my cake.

   "I know. Do you think we should visit?" I replied back while stabbing a piece with my fork and taking a bite. Jellal's eyes followed my fork until it made contact with my mouth. Jellal made a groaning noise and got up from the dining room table to head to the kitchen. I smiled, and I smiled because I knew I had won this cake to myself, or so I thought.

Jellal came back a few minutes later with a mischievous grin plastered on his face, and something behind his back. He sat back down in his seat at the table, still not showing me what he was hiding. Jellal slowly lifted his hand up from under the table, showing my the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on.

My mouth was watering at the very sight of it. It was the perfect strawberry shortcake, and a pretty large one at that. I reached my hand out towards it, but Jellal moved the cake farther away.

   "You only get this if you share it with me." Jellal waved the shortcake in front of my face. Geez, Jellal plays a hard bargain.

   "Well of course!" I exclaimed while throwing the other cake I had before against the wall. Jellal smiled and shifted his chair so it was right next to mine.

   "Oh and by the way I think we should go see them." Jellal said with a mouthful of strawberry shortcake. Maybe I should give Natsu and Happy a visit. I heard from Wendy that he has a princess, that should be interesting.

Natsu wasn't the kind of person- or should I say, dragon, to keep humans close to him. Humans were always scared of him, beacause, well he's a dragon.

I only got close to Natsu because I met him in the forest when I got lost while eating strawberry cake. I was trying to find a good place for a picnic but failed because I got separated from Jellal. I was around the age of twelve when I spotted a smaller-than-average dragon wandering through the woods.

•Erza's Memory•

   "Igneel!" I heard a voice yell out. I picked myself up from my picnic and started to look around for the source. Suddenly a little red dragon appeared right in front of me, or rather it tumbled out of a bush. The dragon looked up at me and took a few steps back. It got into some sort of fighting stance.

   "Stay back demon!" He screamed at me. Demon? I'm not a demon. I placed the plate of cake I was carrying on the ground and set my hands on my hips.

   "Why thank you. I take that as a compliment." I answered back. Anyone who called me a demon was precisely right. I wanted people to fear the name 'Erza Scarlet'. I love when people think I'm scary, it makes me feel like an important person.

   "What're you doing in these parts?" The deep red colored dragon questioned.

   "Why eating of course!" I exclaimed with a glint of happiness in my eyes.

   "Would you like to join me?" I added with a smile. The dragon looked up to the sky as if he were thinking.

   "Free food?" He asked with a watering mouth.

   "Of course." I replied. The dragon walked towards me and glanced down at my cake. The dragon looked at it with interest, and I sweat dropped. Dragon's don't like cake, do they? He looked up at me and reached one if his claws out.
