At the moment within the fairy tail guild, the usual routine was apparent. Natsu was fighting with Gray as always, Mira was tending to the bar like normal, and Gwen and Kevin were sitting at the bar with Cana while Max sat next to them. The newest guild member, Lucy, was talking with Mira about the guild leagues and recent dark guild activity.

"Is that the best trash talk they can come up with?" Lucy asked a bit unimpressed by the dragon slayer and ice make mage's smack talk. "Yeah Natsu is that all you got?!" "Yeah pretty much"

Everyone got a laugh out of that, only for Loke to barge in with a panicked expression "Bad News!!!" He cried as if he saw the end of the world. "It's Erza and Ben... they're here..." he uttered making nearly everyone scream, Natsu and Gray seemed to be especially scared while for some odd reason Mira seemed to beam at that. "Woah, mention those two and everyone freaks out" Lucy commented a bit scared herself from everyone's reaction.

Mira answered her with "Reasonable since Ben and Erza are the two strongest members we have in fairy tail and more than a bit intimidating" she said with stars around her. Which scared Lucy even more, soon everyone began hearing loud footsteps and felt the ground shake at when the sounds occurred. "That's gotta be Ben" the purple haired Laki said, "those sound like a certain Vaxesaurian's footsteps." Wakaba added, "he may not be Big Chill but the air's definitely gone cold" Macao added.

Kevin then spoke up "Ben went with Humungousaur eh? Been a while since he used him so casually" he noted as Gwen nodded in agreement. Lucy commented on everyone's reactions "with these reactions you'd think they be demons or something" she said while envisioning a giant monster with Ben's name written in white on his torso with a smaller lady demon standing on his shoulder with Erza's name written on her in the same fashion with them breathing fire. "I'm so scared!!!" She squealed, then was even more creeped out when Mira was even more ecstatic.

Suddenly the tremors stopped before A big thud was felt not too long after, then a large green flash was seen before two figures walked into the guild. One had been a tall muscular male with brown hair, green eyes wearing a tight white T-Shirt with various dark green stripes and streaks on it. Dark brown long pants with black combat boots, and he had a goatee on his chin while wearing a familiar looking hourglass badge on his chest. The other was a shorter, though still tall, red haired woman wearing silver armor over a white shirt, blue skirt and black boots, oddly holding a giant monster horn.

"We have returned, where is Master Makorov?" The woman, obviously Erza, asked as Ben placed an arm on her shoulder making her blush a bit. "Wow they're pretty cool" Lucy commented blushing a bit, "welcome back you two, the master's at a conference right now" Mira replies as her stars turned into hearts. "I see" Erza replied as Ben waves "thanks Mira, always appreciated" he said making her blush and wink cutely at him, "so Uh guys.. what's that thing you've got there?" One member asked. Ben answered first "a giant monster horn, we defeated it not too long ago and the locals were so grateful they decorated it and gave it to us for our souvenir collection" he answered. The red haired woman then spoke, in a rather scary tone "do you have a problem with that?!" She asked "No not at all!!!" The whole guild yelped. "Hey hey come on Erza, take it easy there" Ben said gently rubbing her shoulder making her blush a bit more, "y-you don't have to do that every time!" She muttered.. "Though I do like it" Erza whispered.

"They're not like anything like I imagined... also I'd like to point out that Earlier she was intimidating, now she putty in his hands..." Lucy whispered "are they dating or something?" She asked Mira "you could say that" the white haired bar maid replied. Cana, who had been chugging down a barrel of alcohol as usual, muttered something to Macao "bet you they found out about what happened at Mt. Hakabe" she teased before continued with her drink. "Aw man I'm a goner" he muttered, "Anyway, listen up everyone, on our way back we heard that the guild had gotten a bit of a bad rep as of late" Ben voices out making everyone flinch.

Erza, who had snapped out of her pleased trance from his shoulder rub snapped out of it and added on "y-yes exactly! Master Makorov may not care, but we most certainly do" she said before turning to Cana. "Cana!" The brunette flinched, "you need to control your drinking" Erza asserted, "Vegita please take the dancing outside, Wakaba, seriously man get rid of that filthy habit!" Ben scolded, "Nab, I suspected you'd be dawdling in front of the request board, just pick a Job!" She added again. "Macao" Ben called making him flinch, the shapeshifter had let out a sigh while Erza did the same "please just say something!"

"I don't even know where to begin with you. You've caused so much trouble I've almost given up" Erza said, "I don't think we should go that far Erza" Ben added as Lucy whispered again. "She's tearing into everyone, its like she's taken over" she commented. "That's Erza for you" Happy stated, "even though she's kinda bossy she still seems like she's more sane than anyone else around here. And Ben seems a lot more calm than her and a lot nicer too, I don't understand why everyone's afraid of them" the blonde added on.

Ben then spoke up again, "hey are Natsu and Gray around?" He asked as the two made themselves noticed while being friendly with each other with Happy saying his classic "Aye!". "Uh over here guys, just hanging out like good friends tend to do ha ha" Gray replied sweating nervously alongside Natsu. "Aye!" He repeated Happy "Why is Natsu talking Happy?!" Lucy exclaimed freaked out. "That's great, I'm quite pleased to see the two of you getting along so well" Erza said, "though it should be noted like male deer, the best of friends are known lock horns every now and again" the shapeshifter added "I wouldn't say we're the best of friends" "Aye.."

"What's gotten into Natsu?!" The celestial mage asked even more freaked out, only for Mira to explain "he's scared is all, a few years ago Natsu tried to pick a fight both Ben and Erza and they beat him up pretty badly" she answered while drawing a picture with a light pen depicting both Ben and Erza standing over a pummeled Natsu. "Well that was a stupid choice."

Macao then spoke up "after that Erza found Gray walking around naked so she decided beat him up to" he added, "then Ben caught the two of them fighting together and smacked some hard sense into the both of them" Levin added laughing a bit.

Cana then added to the conversation "let's not forget Ben beat the crap out of Loke for trying to hit on both Erza and Mira at the same time" she said as a gag image of Ben repeatedly pummeling Loke rather violently made its way into our view. "He totally deserved it there" Cana giggles, "can't say I blame him" Lucy replied.

"Anyway you two we have a favor to ask" Erza said, theses a next day we currently see Mira sitting with Lucy at the train station waiting for Ben and Erza to arrive. With Natsu and Gray fighting as usual, "let's just pretend we don't know them" Lucy said exasperated, "you have to admit it's kinda entertaining" Mira said. The blonde then shot up "by the way what did you mean by 'you can put it like that' when I asked if Ben and Erza were dating?" Lucy asked making Mira blush.

"W-w-well you're not far off, those two are dating... but that's not all" Mira explained as Lucy got more confused, then heard said two arriving. "Oh there they are" Lucy said while they looked at Ben and Erza, and for some reason Mira looked shocked, the two were walking side by side with Erza only taking two cases of luggage. "What?!?!" Mira exclaimed scaring her blonde acquaintance, "hey guys, get this I finally managed to convince Erza that she didn't need to take so much stuff on missions" Ben said as Erza responded "I'm telling you I feel more comfortable having everything with me" she retorted.

"What like Erza takes five or seven bags with her?" Lucy asked, "try her entire room" Ben replied shocking Lucy. "Oh hey you're that new girl at the guild, Lucy right?" He asked her "I saw you back at the guild yesterday" Erza then spoke as he looked behind him to check and see if Natsu's and Gray were fighting. And every time they did check the two would immediately act all friendly "yeah, Mira here asked me to go with you to get some extra experience" Lucy explained. "How fortunate are we to have you, I heard that you brought down a mercenary gorilla with only your fist" Erza commented shocking Lucy "most likely meaning you beat down a Vulcan. That's pretty cool if I'm being Honest Lucy" Ben added as Erza checked Natsu and Gray again.

'I don't think this is what I signed up for' Lucy thought as Natsu and Gray made themselves noticed "time to go good buddy!" The ice mage let out happily "Aye!" "Would you cut it out Natsu one Happy is good enough!" Lucy shouted.

Before they got on the train however Mira pulled her fellow S Class members to her "have a safe trip you two! Make sure to return safely" she said "we always do Mira not to worry" Ben assured. "Yes quite, we'll see you later" Erza added as she held their grip on them, "sorry, you may have skipped out on my goodbye kiss on your last mission but not this time" Lucy looked at them confused through the window. Then was shocked when Mira suddenly kissed both Ben and Erza before letting them go into the train.

'So that's what she meant! Ben's dating both Erza and Mira!' she realized.
