"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Erza said as she slipped into bed. It was about 11:30 P.M. and we were beat from that birthday job. Though, I believe Erza was feeling the worst of all of us and she wouldn't admit it.

At the party, she was pinned down by this 10 year old who had this obsession with  her hair and she kept braiding and yanking it out. I felt bad for her so I locked the girl up inside Horologium, my clock constellation, but, it didn't last long.

I take a deep breath and say, "Before I tell you anything, can I trust you with this secret?"

"Yes." She said firmly. I looked her with  a stern look on my face hoping it would say 'This is serious so get it together Erza'. She laughed, "Yeah, yeah I won't tell anyone."

"OK, so I-I think I'm in love." It took a minute for her to respond.

She turned over and looked at me said with a deep breath, "I think I'm in love as well." Oh. My. Gosh. Erza is in love? This was totally unexpected. "But I'm not sure yet." She looked down. "Y-You seem certain. Don't tell me it's your celestial spirit Loke? Sorry, Leo is his real name."

I laughed, "No, it's-it's Natsu." She stared at me for a few long seconds before she replied.

"Pink-hair Natsu? The Natsu in the next room?" she said with a questionable face.

"No," I said sarcastically. "The purple-haired Natsu across the kingdom."

"Sorry, it's just I never thought you would of liked him. I thought you liked..." She trailed off.

"Liked who?" I said desperately.

"Well, I thought you liked," she paused. "Gray?"

"Gray?" I shook my head in slight disgust. "I'm not for the strippers! Ha-ha!"

She laughed loudly then said, "Hm, well OK. I can see why you would like Natsu." I didn't know exactly what she meant but I'm going to take that as approval. "I like...Jellal," she exhaled. I didn't say anything. It was too weird. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just never saw that one coming. I mean, I get it. You had a past with him, he protected you, stood up for you, and practically saved your life a couple times. I just picture him as a killer."

"I know," she looked at the alarm clock. "But it's getting late and we need rest for tomorrow's train. Have sweet dreams about Natsu." she chuckled.

"Ha-ha I will. Have sweet dreams of J-Lo," I said.

"What'd you call him?" she said with a stern face.

"J-Lo....it's easier to say just go to sleep Erza." I quietly laughed and drifted to sleep.
