"Pfffff~!" My neck jerked back, and I fell off the... kitchen stool?

   "Bwahahahahah!" someone was horrendously laughing, "The- The look- on your face! Gold!"

   I wiped the droplets off my face and sat up. Meredy has somehow been able to enter my dorm room, and she had a glass of water grasped in her hand.

   "I swear, if Ul was here, she'd be dead by now!" she snickered, putting the glass on the island. "Nice way to wake up, wasn't it?"

   "No." I rubbed my eyes, "I fell asleep here?"

   "Seems so," Meredy said, examining a pool of liquid on the countertop, where my head was, "At least the drool that was hanging out of your mouth got cleaned."

   "Hey!"

   "Hehe, it's true!" she grinned. Just then, someone else entered. What was this, a common room or something?

   "Oi! Long-time, no see, Erza!" Ultear came in, all cheery. I backed off - a cheery Ultear, was one with a scary plan.

   "Hi!" I danced around the two, trying to make my way to the door of the kitchen, "Wh-what's up?" 

   "Oh, nothing much. We persuaded Jellal for a spare key to check on you. He seemed happy to let us have the key."

   He's so dead. 

   "That's nice!" I continued to work my way to the door, "So, um, what's for breakfast?"

   As quick as I could, I slid through the gap, and shut the kitchen door, trapping the duo in. 

   Thinking back to last night, I realized that I had accidentally stayed the night in the kitchen. But that was the least of my worries; the first was to flay that little bluenette into the pits of blueberry hell.

   Even though he half-hates me...

    ~~~

"Erza!" I jumped, "Get your butt here, at once!"

    I was whirled around my soft, yet firm, hands. The voice belonged to someone I had hoped never to meet; well, not this soon, anyway.

    "Didn't you miss me? You're always hanging out with... them." Mirajane Strauss stood in front of me, her hands on her waist.

   "I-" Mira's glare intensified as I continued my sentence, "I have a reason for it."

   "Well? Go on." she tapped her foot rhythmically on the tiled floor, "We have time."

   "Uh-huh," I nervously gulped. I had no idea how I was going to explain this without her breaking into her 'fangirl-attacks'. "The simplest way to put it- it's for Jell-"

   "What's for me?"

   I shot back from Mira, at least jumping a couple of feet. A particular aquamarine-haired man stood in front of us, brandishing a glare.

   "Well?"

   "N-nothing." I stuttered while Mira merrily laughed, "We were just talking about the, er, jelly sales. Y'know? The annual jelly sales that people put up for charity money?" 

   I was bluffing; I know, I'm desperate, but if he finds out, I'm dead.

   "Never heard of such a thing." Jellal leaned back into the wall, a superior look in his eyes. Something was off with his behavior. 

   "Of course you haven't, silly." Mira brightly piped in, "It's a new thing, duh! Master Makarov just started it! In honor for his grandson returning to Highschool!"

   I blanked, "His grandson?"

    Even Jellal seemed perplexed, making me feel better. "Yeah, who's this mysterious grandson of his, that randomly decides he can poke his butt in our business?"

   Jellal doesn't talk like that...

"My, my, aren't you two such sweet idiots," she smiled her 'Mira' smile, "Laxus Dreyar of course!"

   My mind instantly broke into a headache, "Wait, I had Master Makarov's son as my driver to high school, who turned out to be a teacher, who turned out to be a student, who turned- Holy Heck."

   The two of them just looked at me, as if I were some kind of terrestrial fish, that had dive-bombed them.

   "Nevermind."

   "I think you need to come with me, Erza," Jellal growled darkly, his usually playful onyx-green eyes hinted with malice; even though he was mad at me, Jellal never looked like that.

   "Oh, go on you two! Have fun!" Mira skipped off, disregarding all the signs that Jellal was displaying. It couldn't have been clearer if he had been holding a sign reading: CLUE!!!

   "I'll make you nice and warm." 

    I swear, If I get knocked out one more time in my life, I will personally punch the living daylights out of everyone.
