Hello wattpadians, unfortunately since no one got the answer correctly. Or answer that much, you'll see in this chapter. Sorry to disappoint but you didn't answer correct or didn't answer at all.

It was a warm morning in Magnolia, a day passed since Ben and Erza's fight, the former had won much to everyone's surprise.

Ben was sitting in the guild hall happily drinking a smoothie, his cousin then greeted him "hey Ben, heard you beat Erza in a fight yesterday that true?" She asked him.

"Yeah, today she asked me to go on a job with her, just don't know where she is" Ben responded, "hey Ben, where Erza? Don't you two have a job to go on?" Lucy asked, Ben nodded.

"It's amazing how hooked she is on these smoothies of your's" Cana commented, "yeah she's already fallen for the drink, maybe she'll end up falling for you" Mira added.

Ben that did a spit tank then proceeded with a coughing fit, "wait what" the shapeshifter said coughing, Gwen and Lucy decided to play along, "yeah that would be expected, I mean I've got to say cousin you're more than easy on the eyes" Gwen teased. "Right Gwen, plus you're just as strong as she is, maybe she wants to date a person who's just as powerful" Lucy said "let's not forget Tennyson didn't you say that she was like a rose" Kevin added eavesdropping.

"Like I need romance advice from you" Ben retorted, "what do you mean by Erza's like a rose?" Lucy asked, "much like a pretty rose with a string of thorns, Erza is beautiful to the eye and dangerous to the touch" Gwen explained.

Mira and Lucy squealed at the romantic thing Ben said, Cana laughed, "wow you really think that?" She asked, the teen hero turned his head to hide his blush.

"Wait if you said that, then that must mean" Lucy said, "you totally like Erza" she teased, "can it already will ya, or do you guys want to be on the receiving end of Toe pick's terrifying power" Ben said.

Right then and there, Everyone backed off, "right anyway change of subject where're the twin elemental dunderheads don't oh have a job with them?" He asked right when the two in question appeared behind Lucy.

"Elemental dunderheads what's that supposed to mean?" Natsu yelled indignantly scaring the whack out of Lucy, the latter slapped him right across the face "Natsu you scared me half to death" She said.

"Just tell that loser how you think about him" Laxus said with Erza glaring at him, "I have no problem telling everyone here how weak they are, especially that princess wannabe" he added on. "It was her fault the whole mess was started anyway", "LAXUS" Mira scolded "would you shut up Master Makorov said it was no ones fault for the war with Phantom lord" she said.

"Quit your whining, once I become master I'm kicking you losers to the curb" The annoying blonde said, "at least we didn't back down at the fight" Ben shot at him, "Cana told me that while we were all risking our lives during the fight with Phantom you turned a blind eye on everyone" he said.

"Like I said these losers don't need to be helped" Laxus responded, "listen Green boy, you may have beaten red here" he added, "what" Erza responded "but I'm stronger than anyone here".

Ben then knocked him back with Armadrillo's fist, "care to prove that sparky" he said turning into Omni, "you got guts but learn your place" Laxus said blasting Ben with lightning, "uh shouldn't you help him out?" Lucy whispered to Gwen.

"He's got this, we've taken on worse than Laxus believe me he's nothing but a small drop in a ocean of enemies" she explained. "I don't think so" Ben said Using Loadstar's magmatic power to redirect the lightning back to Laxus, "ouch, that actually hurt" he said.

"Insult to injury lightning boy, you might want to lose some weight because I'm about to put Five tons on you" Ben said using Gravattacks powers to increase the gravity around him.

"Hey what did you do I can't move" the blonde said, "of course you can't, the gravity around has increased, no one can move around with the weight around them as heavy as a five elephants if you don't like it maybe this'll fell better" Ben said as he stopped his gravity attack and rammed the blonde in the side with Crash Hopper's legs and skull.

"Or maybe not, but maybe I can cool you off" the alien then turned transparent to phase through Laxus and freeze him in ice, "Ahhh you're gonna get it now" the blonde yelled as he blasted a large torrent of electricity towards Ben.

"And that's what I was waiting for" Ben said as he grew Feedback's antennas and absorbed the lightning, "what comes around goes around Laxus, let's see how you like it ya electro freak" he said before Blasting Laxus with a large bolt of electricity.

The blast sent him flying and the alien walked over again, "and just so you don't get zap happy, I'll be taking this" he said before sticking the antennas into the lightning mage and absorbed all the electrical energy out of him "AHHH, what are you taking?" Laxus said in pain.

"All that lightning inside you" Ben answered after he had finished, "as of right now you're all out of power and can't use your magic anymore" he answered.

"Also every one here's a lesson, don't take things like that from Laxus or anyone else, none of us are weak we're all strong in our own way, whether by intelligence" he said gesturing to Levy, "strength overall" he gestured to Elfmen, "and even by kindness" he gestured to Lucy.

"Don't be ashamed, be proud of who you are and the qualities you have, and never let anyone take your self worth" Ben finished, Erza smiled from hearing that.

"Well since when are you the inspirational type?" Gwen said walking over to her cousin, "since I lost you guys I guess my personality changed somehow, oh and Laxus you may want to stay down and get away from Gwen before Kevin kicks you in the jewels" Ben said when the blonde was reaching for her. But it was too late, the absorbing teen got him straight in the family jewels, "ouch that's got to hurt" Macao said wincing "what were you trying to do to my girlfriend anyway" Kevin said menacingly.

And hour later Ben and Erza were on their way to a lake side town called Aerona Suborius, "Ben did you actually mean what you said back there" Erza asked.

"Of course I did, wouldn't have if it wasn't true" Ben answered, "so if Levy is smart, Elfmen is strong and Lucy is kind" Erza spoke up, "Then what am I?" She asked.

Ben's face turns slightly pink, "where do I begin" he said shyly, "your strong, your smart, your brave, you take pride in being a member of the guild, your beautiful, there is so much about you I can't say for certain" he answered.

She blushed at what he said, 'he thinks so highly of me, wait what was the last thing he said?' Erza thought, "Ben did you say that I was beautiful?" She asked, 'Crud' Ben screamed inwardly.

"Well yeah, have you seen yourself in a mirror?" He replied, "uh thank you" Erza said winking at him which made him blush, they later arrived at the train station.

After a long train ride, and Erza occasionally falling asleep on Ben's shoulder, they arrived in a town close to Aerona Suborius and walked the rest of the way, "now I can see why the railroad couldn't be built here, the whole area minus this path we're walking on here, is like a swamp" Ben commented.

"Yes other than the terrain this entire area is a protected nature preserve for rare animals, none of which are dangerous, in fact they're quite harmless" Erza said as she spotted a cute bunny like creature and pet it, "see".

However a large worm thing, harmless though, got too curious and knocked Erza into Ben. This accidentally made her fall onto him, "Ow... sorry Be-?!" Erza yelped, "Erza what's wrong...grk?!" He replied. Ahem the two opened their eyes their lips had kissed each other by accident. "Oops, is sorry about that Erza" Ben said trying not to get her angry.

In truth an odd rush went through her at contact. But in order to keep focus on the mission she responded.

"N-n-no Ben it's fine, I was the one who fell on you, and besides, it was that worm thing anyway" she said. They then picked up the pace in order to avoid anymore accidents.

They finally got into the town, the place was over flowed with culture, all the people hanging decorations on buildings, but the most amazing part was the lake itself. Sparkling blue, with the sun shimmering off, in addition small areas releasing bubbles that create thermal lifts that people use to surf on top of, "it's official this world has impressed me yet again" Ben commented.

"your world doesn't have sky surfing?" Erza asked, "we have surfing but we do it in the water" he explained, "we surf on water to you know". The fairy queen smiled at him as they walked down to the town.

After arriving they noticed something odd, on some areas they saw large cracks, most likely from the animal attacks, and an odd but familiar shaped footprint. Ben, for some reason swore he saw those footprints before, but couldn't place his finger on where he remembered them. They had arrived at the hotel they were staying at for their mission, "classy" Ben commented, they walked to the front desk to check in.

"Hello there miss Titania, oh we weren't expecting you to bring your butler" the front desk woman named Linda said, "butler?! Wha-! I'm not her butler" Ben replied irritated.

A bell hop name's Marcus and a cleaning lady named Tina approached them, "servant then?" Tina asked "what no!" Ben said with a twitching vein, "please don't belittle my teammate, Ben here is a powerful take over mage" Erza said.

"Doesn't look like much" Markus said, "RIGHT HERE YOU KNOW" Ben said fuming.

"Wait ma'am did you say take over mage?" Linda asked, "we heard of a new take over wizard who joined Fairy Tail that has a single unique form that has multiple different abilities, and the... power... too... turn... into... a... Titan... form" Tina stammered from the realization.

"Wait are you..." Marcus struggled to ask "yup that's me" Ben boasted, the three had just insulted a person capable of destroying their town with no trouble at all and one thing all came to their minds 'we're screwed...'. "WE'RE SORRY!! WE DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE THAT TAKE OVER WIZARD!! PLEASE FORGIVE US!!" they all pleaded.

Ben sweat dropped then tried to calm them down, "don't worry unlike a few of my other guild mates and probably my partner I won't go on an angry rampage" he said, "indeed" Erza said before the realization hit her "HEY" she yelled.

"Sorry Erza, but you have to admit, you and most of the guild can get pretty rowdy, but not as much as pink flame" Ben said, "true I can be a little violent at times, and knock people out often" Erza admitted much to the three's surprise.

"But both of us know it's Natsu's fault, he always start the fights I end them quickly" she added, "that we can both agree on" Ben replied, "so our room keys?" Ben asked Linda, "well the thing is we only thought miss Titania was coming, so we only reserved one room for her and the others are all booked" she said.

"Only one room, how many beds?" Erza asked, "uh one" Linda replied, "well we could just share the room and I could sleep in the web hammock" Ben said, "whilst I sleep in a comfortable bed I think not, yes we are going to share the room and the bed" Erza said.

"Seriously this is going to be the third time we've slept in the same bed, not that I'm complaining just that, I've been keeping count" Ben replied, the three employee were dumbfounded at the two's discussion.

"Now how about we take our luggage up to the room" Erza suggested, "uh your luggage, I only brought my duffle bag" Ben said emphasizing by swinging it a little.

After the shapeshifter brought all of Erza's suitcases to their room with XLR8 and Ditto's powers, much to the hotel staff's amazement, they went to meet with the mayor.

They went to a local restaurant to wait, Ben and Erza waited at a booth at the way back.

"So do you always get discounts when you eat at restaurants?" Ben asked his scarlet haired friend, "usually one of the perks of being a well known S-class wizard I guess" she admitted.

"You two must be from fairy tail correct?" A voice asked, the two had turned their attention to a brunette woman in an aqua green business suit, "that is correct" Erza said, "Name's Ben Tennyson, pleasure to meet you, your must be the mayor right" he asked. "Yes indeed, I'm mayor Melody Garyson, we thank you for answering our request.

Though I don't think I have heard of you Ben" she said, "Ben here has recently joined fairy tail, he is a powerful take over wizard and has beaten three of Fairy Tail's strongest in combat" Erza said, "all being the Salamander, Laxus and myself".

Melody was in shock by what she had heard, "your really okay with admitting you lost to me?" Ben asked her, "if one loses they must not deny it, I might as well get it over with" Erza replied.

The mayor had explained that a few months ago large monstrous animals had been attacking the town.

They've been seen coming from the nature preserve and lake, then retreating back at every attack and if this keeps up the towns folk will have to take down the nature preserve.

"Wait did one of the monsters happen to look like a big frog with four red eyes with horns on its head" Ben asked.

"Actually yes how did you know?" Melody asked, "lucky guess" he answered, "need not worry mayor Garyson, we'll find these monsters and insure that they will not harm anyone ever again" Erza ensured her.

After a meal, the two headed back to their hotel, "hey Erza, I think me and my pals weren't the only ones who came to this world" Ben said to Erza who was currently in the shower.

"Why do you say that Ben?" She asked, "remember those monsters that the mayor described, well the frog one might be a normal animal that had been mutated by my old enemy Dr. Animo" he said.

"If that is true then I hope you have information on how to defeat him" she said coming out of the shower, she didn't have much on other than a towel, "you sure seem nervous right now, any reason why?" She asked cocking a hip, Ben turned slightly red. "How bout because you forced me to bathe with you once, and now you don't have much on" he retorted turning away, "and as you said Ben you already saw me once why are you nervous now" she asked putting her head to his shoulder.

"I just am okay" he yelped, "okay then, we'll probably need to rest up for tomorrow" she said, "you got that right" Ben said.

After changing into their night clothes both got into bed Erza started to toss and turn, 'sure I like him but we have a job to do, but I really do want to know if he feels the same, knock it off no lolly gagging, I bet you're thinking about that kiss, yeah... ACK NOT THE POINT!' Erza contemplated.

She groaned in her sleep and the still awake Ben was concerned, "hey Erza are you okay, you seem uneasy" he asked she sat up and looked to him "oh I'm fine no need to worry" she replied then looked downward.

Ben felt she was a little troubled by something, "Erza I can tell something is bothering you" He said, the red haired mage had finally conceded an answered "well the thing is I was kind of" she paused for a minute, "it has something to do with you" she said.

"What do you mean Erza?" He asked, "to tell you the truth, I sort of like you a little Ben" she admitted, which made Ben blush a lot, "really?" He asked "yes, after all you impress me countless times, you even managed to beat me in combat, and you said such nice things about me, how can I not" she said.

"And then... that kiss earlier" she then touched her lips to replay the sensation. "I felt a certain rush, for some reason I feel right when I'm around you".

Ben looked down then back at her, "actually Erza I kinda like you to" he said, "as I have said before, your smart, Strong, brave, beautiful but there's also something about you that is just amazing, I just get a feeling off of you that tells me you are".

Both looked at each other and met eyes, "when did you" Erza asked looking at him, "a few days after we first met. I don't know what it was but I feel a really strong connection between us" Ben answered. "Well... I also felt the same at the same time, and yes I also feel som sort of connection" she replied as her voice droned off when they found themselves moving closer to each other, "so uh... want to...?" She stuttered.

"To what... Erza?..." Ben asked leaning in close to her, "want to..." Erza hesitates to say as their faces were only inches apart. Neither dared to move a muscle in fear that if they did it would end up being a dream... the Titania then gulped hard 'forget it, if I don't do something I'll regret it, and if he doesn't accept my feelings I'll still have some closure at least' she thought. At he exact same time Ben had thought the same and the two kissed. At that moment both felt adrenaline rush through them. 'Her lips are so soft, this feeling rushing through my body, Erza...' Ben thought, 'I never thought that a kiss would feel this nice, come to think of it I think this is my first kiss, and Ben, I think he had the same urge I had and went for it,' Erza thought.

The two broke the kiss and looked at one another, "so uh...?" Ben stuttered, "Yeah... that happened..." Erza blushes, "so... does this make us a thing?" She asked. "I'm not sure" He replied scratching the back of his head, "but... to see where this goes, want to go on a date once we get back to Magnolia?" Ben asked her. To which gently grabbed his face and kissed his cheek, "I'd love to" she said before they both fell asleep.

The next morning the two walked around the town to inspect the area to be ready incase the monsters appear, "so when did the mayor say they would attack?" Ben asked.

"She said the attacks started every four days and the last one was three days ago" Erza replied, "the next one is today" he said.

At that moment large mutant animals, a lizard like creature, something like a squirrel and an ostrich like bird, started to come from the nature preserve running towards the lake. "Oh no you don't" Ben said, "its hero time" both of them boasted. "Hey that's my line" Ben complained turning into Omni, "hey we're going to be dating soon might as well share a catchphrase" Erza replied.

The two rush towards the animals, one seemed to be holding a type of cage in its mouth containing a few animals "take this Moon flash" Erza said sending a slash of light towards the lizard.

The monster's leg was sliced off but it grew back, "okay I will admit I did not see that coming" Erza said then proceeded to pound the heck out of the squirrel, "I got lizard breath" Ben said.

As he approached the monster he saw the cage it had along with the fact that it resembled one of the animals that was protected in the reserve.

"Okay scaly let go of the cage and no one gets hurt" Ben said using four arm's strength to flip it over, then got hit by his tail luckily he grabbed it just in time, "okay now I'm mad".

The alien then proceeded to spin around then tossed the monster in the air, it fell back to earth, "look who's the tough guy now Lizzie, now hand over those animals" he said trying to pull it from the incapacitated reptile.

"Got it, huh?" Ben said until he saw the bird ran him back into Erza, "sorry babe, ouch" he apologized, "don't worry about it" she replied, the squirrel then escaped from her and all three swam into the lake.

"I've got a feeling the attacks were only accidents, the real reason those monsters were going into town was to steal those endangered ones and bring them to the lake" Omni said, "the town was unfortunately the shortest route" Erza added.

They approached the water, "if we want to get to the bottom of this the only direction to head in is down" Ben said growing Rip Jaw's gills, fins, and transforming his legs into a fish tail.

"Please tell me you have something that can work under water?" He asked. "I think I might" Erza said before requipping into a green armored suit that has blue fins and a long fin like skirt that extends only to the back leaving the front exposed.

"This is my sea empress armor" she said. "Hope it allows you to breathe underwater?" He said as they both swam down they caught up with the animals and saw a large man made under water structure.

The alien pointed to it and both swam fast, they quietly poked their heads out from opened area in the structures floor which was revealed to be a laboratory.

"Ah thank you my pets, these normal creatures have zero potential of surviving extinction due to a lack of adaptivity" a familiar voice said.

"However thanks to me Dr Aloyisius James Animo, with my new transmodulator I will lead this world into a new era" he said. "Ben you were right" Erza whispered to him, "let's get him" Ben responded jumping out of the water, "your busted animo" he shouted, "right now stand down and we won't hurt you" Erza added.

"What Ben Tennyson, oh why can't you just leave me to my work" Animo complained, "dude your work is turning animals into monsters, as a hero it's my job to stop you" Ben replied tuning his arms and legs into Wildmutt's.

"Now looks like it's time for me to go wild" he quipped running on all fours and charged down the demented scientist, "what do you think you're doing get them my pets" Animo ordered.

Other than the lizard, bird and squirrel a large mutant frog, spider and mosquito appeared out of nowhere. The lizard went to hit Ben but the latter leaped back to Erza, "we may be from another world Tennyson" Animo said jumping onto the frog's back "but like animals, I have adapted, knowing you might bring magical back up I mutated this mosquito to allow it to feed on the magical energy in wizards".

All the animals charged at the two, "like we're gonna let you get away with this, come on Erza" Ben said, "right behind you" she replied, they sent powerful punches to the squirrel and bird.

However while animo and his amphibian distracted Ben the mosquito bit Erza and proceeded to suck out her magic energy, "ouch how dare you bite me you pathetic bug" she yelled slamming the mosquito into a wall.

"Erza are you okay?" Ben asked concern leaping to her side, "I'm fine but that damn bug took a lot of my energy from me" she complained.

The mutant spider then landed in front of them and stuck them to the wall with webs, "enjoy your last breath, the webs from this spider absorb magical energy as well, now come along my pets we have a world to mutate" Animo said as he and his monsters exited the lab.

Erza and Ben tried to break free of the webs, the latter had a success using Diamond head's arm to cut himself loose, "don't worry Erza once I'm free I'll cut you loose to" he said.

"Ben this web, its already taken to much magic from me, you'll have to handle this on your own" she said, "I'm sorry but I'm... I'm..." Erza said before passing out.

"ERZA!" Ben exclaimed as he used a combination of Heat blast's fire, Chromastone's energy powers, and Diamond head's shares to successfully escape the webs.

He then cut Erza down with ease, "Erza please no, don't die now" Ben said cradling her torso, "please Erza, please be alive, you just told me you liked me, I already lost so much" Ben said ready eyed.

"I don't want to loose you" a soft groan came from Erza's mouth, she opened her eyes to see Ben with tears running down his face, "please I nearly lost my family, I can't lose you now" he said before she gently grabbed the back of his head then kissed him, "sorry to disappoint but" she said steadily sitting up, "but I'm not going anywhere".

Ben was overjoyed to see her alive that he pulled her into a hug again, "you have no idea how happy I am right now" he said.

"Please tell me you're okay" Ben said helping her up, "I am my magic is steadily building up again, however if that spider and mosquito get me again I may be done for" Erza replied, "not if they can't touch you" Ben said, "Ben what are you planning?" She asked, "first I need you to requip into your strongest armor" he said.

She did as requested and changed into he armadura fairy armor, "this is armadura fairy, the symbol of my pride for being in our guild" she said, "and now it's my turn" Ben said turning into Omni becoming tar black with green circuit stripes again and merged with her armor.

When Erza snapped out of her panic she saw that her armor had been reshaped and enhanced, "Ben what did you do?" She asked, the green lines in the armor lit up when his voice spoke, "I used the powers of my alien upgrade to merge with your armor and enhance its abilities, I normally do it with machines your armor was a lucky break" he said.

"When will you stop impressing me?" She asked as they jumped into the water, "I don't think that'll be possible Erza" Ben said reconfiguring the armor to take on an aquatic form. They launched out of the water and the armor shifted to a flight form, they spotted Animo and his monsters swimming towards the town, "of Hey reach the city there's no telling what sort of destruction they may cause" Erza said, "not gonna happen, come on Erza let's do this" Ben said as they rushed towards the monsters.

"First things first the mosquito and spider" Erza said, "good idea, take out the magic drainers first" Ben said as they slammed the monster bug into the water, "what you two again, madam you are as much as a pain in the neck as your boyfriend there" Animo said signaling the spider web snare Erza.

"Technically only started dating" Ben said as Erza shot a laser at the web incinerating it, "okay I'm really starting to like this" she said, "incoming bug boy's back" Ben warned as the mosquito surfaced again but had trouble flying, "take it down while its wings are wet" he said.

The red haired worrier used her twin blades to slice the bugs wings off, then grabbed its proboscis to throw it in the air, "I have this part" Ben said as Erza raised he fist in the air which then turned into diamond then shot a large shard right through the parasitic insect.

"Now time for web head" Ben quipped as before they turned around and picked up the spider avoiding both the fangs and silk spitter.

"If I remember correctly a spider breathes through the bottom of its body try to suffocate it or rip out its respiratory organ" the galvanic mechamorph powered omnisapian said.

Erza bored clean through its back and bursts out the bottom killing the arachnid, "first of all gross, second of all both magic drainers are down were clear to attack animo" Ben said, they both flew toward the mad man riding frog saddle.

"You think you can win all I need is another spider and another mosquito" Animo stated before the armored wizard slammed the water down to create a wave and send the other monster to the thermal bubbles, "you thinking what I'm thinking?" Erza said, "my first time sky surfing" Ben said.

Changing the front of the body to Terra spin's the two blew the the monster's closer to the bubbles until they were sent into the air, "what no, why did I have to ride the frog" animo complained, "get me animo's helmet I can reverse the mutation by merging with it by the hands" Ben said.

Erza then flew to the scientist and snatched off his helmet, the alien hacked into the device and sent out a wave that de-mutated the animals back to normal, "no why do you always have to meddle in my work uh oh" animo said before falling to the water.

"AHHH" the two left animo to the rune knights and caught the endangered animals, "don't worry about the lab I uh left a little surprise in there to make sure it's taken care of" Ben said before the two flew back to Aerona Suborius.

About a day after they got back the mayor had rewarded the two for saving their town, "Ben Tennyson, Erza Scarlet on behalf of the people of Aerona Suborius, we thank you for saving our home, you have the towns gratitude" Melody said.

"I still don't know why there were rumors about fairy tail spreading destruction around, perhaps they were a bit far fetched" she said until an explosion came from the lake.

"I think my surprise turned out to be little over powered" Ben said as they saw a tidal wave head towards the town, "the rumors were true" the mayor said, "come on Erza" Ben said, "right behind you" she responded.

They ran towards the wave, Erza used her black wing armor to fly up, "moon flash" she said as a large slash of light cut through half of the wave.

Ben as Omni used Way Big's power to grow to a thousand feet tall then jumped into the water and slammed his hands together to create a shockwave that dissipated the wave.

Erza landed on his shoulder, both smirked at the good job they did stopping the wave, and the town didn't suffer any damage, "you were saying mayor" Ben said.

She gave a nervous laugh, the two went back to their hotel to check out, Ben handled the suitcases which earned him a long coming pull to Erza's armored chest, rather than feeling pain he just blushed.

"That went well, don't you think so Erza?" Ben asked his new girlfriend, "indeed, so are you allergic to anything?" She asked her new boyfriend, "if we are going to go on a date somewhere I don't want you dying from an allergic reaction to the food" she said.

"I think peanuts" he said as they walked to the train station, on the train day had already turned to night halfway to Magnolia.

The two sat next to each other, Erza with her head rested on Ben's shoulder, the latter with his on her head.

Upon arriving the two were discretely discussing their date plans, "so is it a date?" Erza asked Ben, "it's a date, see you tomorrow" he said before kissing her on the cheek. They were walking back to the guild, both had agreed to keep their love life with each other secret from the others or they'd be pestering then like no tomorrow, "hey Erza do you hear something?" Ben asked.

They listened for a moment and heard what sounded like faint screaming, "yes I do, and are you getting the weird feeling when Grey is near you naked" she replied.

All of a sudden the ice mage in question had fallen on top of them, as expected stripped to his boxers, "ouch" Ben groaned, "AHHHG WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?" Erza yelled after getting up at the same time knocking him off while Ben got up rubbing his sore back.

"Hey it wasn't me it was Cana" Grey said waving his arms in panic, the two turned their attention to the guild to see Cana throwing cards at Natsu with the latter leaping from table to table.

"Okay what happened?" Ben asked as they entered the guild, "stripper ice here was arguing with Natsu as usual then accidentally froze all the alcohol" Gwen said next to a downed Kevin and Rook.

"Hey cousin that would explain it, and what happened to them?" Ben asked, "She bet them that neither can beat her in a drinking contest and knowing Kevin he didn't back down and Rook wanted a rematch" she answered him.

Both groaned from their fast hangovers, "AHHH" Natsu screamed being thrown back to a pile of rubble, "you" Cana said to Grey sinisterly readying her card.

"You really stepped in it buddy" Ben commented "Cana I know Natsu and Grey have done a lot of damage while we were gone" Erza said holding the angry brunette back.

"I'll be sure to punish them accordingly, but please clam down, we can't afford anymore damage to the guild". She finally calmed down while in the mean time Ben had thawed out the booze, "and done, there you go Cana" Ben said, she was so grateful she went and kissed his cheek, well tried.

Erza caught sight at what she tried to do and got in the way, in doing so she received her appreciated kiss, "uh Erza why'd you just do that?" Cana asked, "no reason" Erza answered shooting her a kiss him again and you'll be sorry look.

Natsu then bursted out of the rubble breathing fire. "RRAAAAAWW NIW YOU'RE IN FOR IT CANA" he said charging at her. Both Erza and Ben nailed him in the gut and he collapsed.

"Heck the whole time you two were away those idiots were fighting every two no wait was it two or three ahh who cares, point is they fought a lot" Gwen said in a sorta drunk voice.

"Wait Gwen are you drinking?" Ben asked concerned, "who cares, our world is gone, my college career was flushed down the drain, it's not like doing this is really going to affect me well bottoms up" she said downing her second glass.

"Really is that so you two" Erza asked while the ice mage and dragon slayer trembled in their boots, "I can confirm what she said, even if she may be a little drunk Erza" Lucy said "aye they were fighting" Happy said.

"BETRAYER" both said, "can someone please tell my cousin to stop drinking beer before she ends up like her boyfriend and the alien" Ben shouted pointing at both of them.

"Oh and Tennyson (blech) we all finally afforded enough money to (blech) get houses and move (blech) out" Kevin said repeatedly gagging. Then proceeded to throw up.
