Episode 283

Erza POV:

"So that's what happened." I finally meet Jellal's eyes, and he nods. Last night Lucy, Natsu, Gray, and happy came by. It was great to see them again; we talked and told stories. It was fun until they told me what they were really doing here. Brining back Fairytail.

Now of course I miss the guild. They are my family, but it has been a year. I've moved on, had new friends who depend on me. I have a house. A job. I can't just up and leave. When I told them this, however, Lucy seemed a little off.

So now here I am explaining all of this to Jellal. He was staring at the ground, in deep thought. I honestly didn't know what to do. I wanted to go back with them, but at the same time I wanted to stay.

"Well Erza," he finally started, "think about it this way: If you don't go with them, Lucy and the other will continue to search for everyone. They will bring back the guild and everyone will be there. Everyone besides you."

He stops talking waiting for me to reply. How would I feel if that happen? I didn't have to think about it. I know that I would hate it if that happens. I look at Jellal and I'm about to speak when he smiles. He already knows exactly what I'm going to say.

I let out a soft laugh. "Thank you, Jellal. I better get them before they leave." He nodded and started heading for the door when I stopped him. He gives me confused look before I start speaking.

"Jellal, do you know why Lucy got angry?" I bit my lip a little worried about his answer. He hesitated before nodding. "I do but, it isn't my right to tell you why." And then he left.

Lucy POV:

The boys and I were getting ready to leave. We talked last might and decided to go look for Wendy and Carla next. This made Happy extremely excited.

We were walking by the beach once again when we heard our names being called. We turn to find a certain red head running towards us with a... suitcase. Thank Mavis.

"He Erza, what's up?" Natsu asked completely oblivious to the fact that she has a suitcase. "I changed my mind, I can't possibly imagine the guild getting together again, but not being there."

"Well we're glad you changed your mind Erza." Gray said in his usual calm tone. He smiled at Erza and she smiled back. But then I notice something...

"Gray, your clothes."

I sighed as he looked down. "When did that happen?!" The rest of us couldn't help but laugh at this. Clearly we missed this.

"Well then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Natsu cheered taking the lead. While we watch I filled in Erza on everything. Who we are going to find next, the entire plan, how we are finding everyone, and making it clear that I was not stalking the guild. She didn't believe me.

Once again we arrived at the train station doing the same routine. Get our tickets, drag Natsu onboard, leave the city, listen to Natsu complain the entire ride. The usual.

But I did get some time to tease Erza about her and Jellal. I even made I ship name for them. Jerza. Her face matched the color of her hair. She kept saying that there was nothing going on between them, but the boys and I don't believe that.

Oh but then to change the subject, she started teasing Gray about him and Juvia. Gruvia. And once again his face matched the color of Erza's hair. He tried to start teasing Happy, but he said that he wasn't going to deny that he loves Carla.

But then the teasing landed on Natsu and I. Oh Mavis. "You two would be perfect together." Erza literally had sparkles in her eyes as she said that.

I looked at Natsu only to see he was as embarrassed as I was. "Nalu." Gray smirked. Of course, Natsu and I told them not to get there hopes up, but that didn't stop the fangirl/fanboy look in their eyes.

As if on cue the train came to a stop. Here we go.
