Chapter 34

A/N: Filler centers around Erza's birthday

Please enjoy?

Erza was satisfied. Lucy was happy. Wendy felt jubilant. And Carla had mixed feelings. But the new family was happy and content with the recent changes.

Wendy held Carla as they walked to the guild with Lucy and Erza. Lucy and Erza held hands and walked in arms and arms, not letting go. They enjoyed their company as much as they loved Fairy Tail.

Entering the guild, Lucy and Erza walked to the bar and situated themselves on the stool. Wendy went to go and talk to Natsu and Gray. And Carla went off and sat on a table, ignoring Happy.

Erza was contented with the feeling of the blonde's hand in hers until Lucy had let go and went to do something else. She was about to get up and follow her until she was flanked by Natsu and Gray.

"E-Erza! I Challenge you to a fight!" Natsu declared with a single sweat rolling down his head.

"This time, you won't beat me!" Gray yelled.

Erza blinked, uninterested with fighting the boys. She wanted Lucy. Not these barbarians. "Find someone else to fight you."

"N-No! I need to fight you!" Natsu yelled, gaining the attention of the guild.

"You need to fight us!" Gray shouted.

Erza stared at them, wondering why they are acting like this. If Natsu wanted to fight, he would just jumped for her and try to beat the crap out of her. Gray would do the same thing.

Suspicious.

Lucy and Wendy walked back to the bar and sees that Natsu was trying to pick a fight with an uninterested Erza. She turned to Mira who had a nervous smile. Lucy sighed. She wanted a diversion for a little while. This wouldn't work. She needed something else to distract Erza.

"Natsu. Gray. Erza doesn't want to fight. Leave." Lucy ordered, looking at the two boys.

Natsu and Gray eagerly nodded and left the guild in a frenzy. Erza stared at the set of doors in confusion before turning to Lucy with a raised eyebrow. "Never knew you could scare them."

Lucy nervously chuckled. "Yes...That's what I did. I scared them. And they went off running...Because I scared them..." Lucy wasn't good at this...

If Erza had noticed Lucy's hesitation, she did a good job at hiding her suspicion. She sat back down, tugging Lucy onto her lap and wrapping her arms around her, keeping her close.

"I felt lonely." Erza murmured

"It's only been a few minutes." Lucy replied, chuckling at the clinging attitude of Erza.

"That's a long time."

Lucy laughed. She turned to see Wendy looking at her, pointing at her wrist, singling that it was time for them to leave. She turned back to Erza with a smile. "Hey Erza. Can you do something for me?"

Erza perked up, looking at her girlfriend with a smile. "Of course. What is it?"

Lucy leaned in and whispered something in her ear for couple seconds before pulling away. Erza's face scrunched in confusion for a second. "Are you sure?"

Lucy nodded. "Can you? Only my best girlfriend in the world is capable of doing this."

Erza smiled at that. "Can't say no to that, can't I?"

Lucy gave her a quick peck on the lips before getting off of her and walked to Wendy taking her hand and turned back to Erza. "We'll be back."

Erza nodded and waved a little while she watched as her girlfriend and adoptive daughter left the guild. Once she was out of sight, she rested her head on the bar table with a loud groan. She misses Lucy already.

Mira walked up to Erza with a smile. "What's wrong?"

Erza sighed. "Lucy asked me to do something and left with Wendy. Now I'm all lonely."

"Carla is still here." Mira said, eyeing a white cat at a table, who was ignoring Happy's advances, even with a fish in his hands.

Erza scoffed. "Carla and I don't exactly get along."

Mira cocked her head to the side with a smirk. "Is that so?"

Erza turned to face Mira with narrowed eyes. "You better not be matchmaking. I already have Lucy."

Mira chuckled evilly. "Don't worry my little redhead. Erlu is my OTP. I was just thinking about something else."

Erza frowned and stared at Mira with suspicion. She was having a bad feeling about her...Maybe Erza was too lonely to be feeling this. Erza shrugged it off and stood up to do what Lucy asked her to do.

"Erza." Mira interrupted her before she left.

Erza turned to Mira halfheartedly. "What?"

"What are you going?"

"Since when did you care what I do?" Erza narrowed her eyes.

Mira smiled. "Since now."

Erza scoffed. "I don't need to tell you anything."

"Alright then. After you finished what you are about to do, come back here. I need to tell you something really, really important." Mira said with an inward smirk.

Erza was silent for a moment. "I might come back if you tell me what it is."

"It concerns a certain celestial blonde mage." Mira said.

"..." Erza was right in front of Mira in a flash. "Tell me now."

"What about what Lucy had asked you to do?"

"Tell. Me. Now." Erza demanded.

Mira smirked and looked around the guild for a moment before leaning to whisper something in Erza's ear.

"I overheard that Wendy was trying to steal your spot in Lucy's heart." Mira whispered with a hidden smirk.

Erza blinked before stepping backward to look at Mira in the eyes. "Is this true?"

Mira nodded.

It only took Erza a split second to run out of the guild and eavesdrop on them, if Mira really was telling the truth, if Wendy was really trying to steal Lucy from her.

Mira had a wide smirk as Erza disappeared. After a few more seconds, Mira returned to her serving and started to take orders.

Couple minutes later, Carla walked up to Mira with a concerned look. "Have you seen Wendy?"

"Hmm? Lucy had taken Wendy on a Mother Daughter day for today." Mira answered.

"Really? I'm surprised they went without me."

"Wendy doesn't need you. She has 'Lucy-Mama' with her. So she'll be fine." Mira smirked. She had another plan forming in her mind.

Carla glared at the take-over mage disapprovingly. "Say whatever you want." Carla scoffed, walking away to sit on one of the table, and Happy immediately approached her with a fish, intent on taking her to a date.

Mira stared at Carla for a moment before looking at Cana who was sitting one table away, drinking entire barrel of booze. This'll be fun. Mira smirked walking over to Cana, unsuspecting of what the take-over mage was planning.

Meanwhile, Carla sat on the table, ignoring Happy's advances, more concerned about what Mira had said. Carla was telling herself that this was normal, that Wendy was only spending some time with Lucy. So that was fine. She would be hysterical if Erza was involved...so...it should be fine.

But what if Wendy didn't want to hang out with her anymore? What if Wendy decided to say that Lucy was better than her? What if Wendy said –

"I wonder what Wendy and Lucy will get for Erza!" Mira said, rather loudly, looking straight at Cana.

"Eh?" Cana paused her drinking to look at Mira confusingly. Mira only smirked at her, continuing her 'fake conservation'.

"Yep. I gave some advice to Wendy and Lucy on what to get for Erza." Mira said with a wide grin.

"U-Um...are you sure th-" Cana started but was interrupted by Mira.

"I hope that they pick out a good gift for her!" Mira said loudly to interrupt Cana.

Cana sweated bullets. She wondered why Mira was talking to her like this. And that smirk scared her. She had a plan, and it looked like the world will end. Cana only hoped that she was not part of whatever plan she had in that mind of hers.

Carla sat on the table, frozen from what she had just heard from Mira talking to Cana. Lucy...and Wendy...are planning to get something for Erza? No...not that damn perverted beast. Not that perverted brute.

In her hysterical state, Carla sprouted wings and flew out of the guild in a frenzy, intent on finding Wendy and Lucy, making sure that they don't get Erza anything...inappropriate. But she wondered why they are getting her something.

After Carla had exited the guild, Mira started laughing, couldn't hold it in any longer. Her plan had worked.

After a few second, Cana decided to speak up with a confusing look. "Mira...? Are you high?"

Mira shook her head as she laughed some more.

"Ok. Then why were you talking to me like that?" Cana raised an eyebrow.

Mira snickered. "I just had a plan. Nothing to worry about."

Cana paled. "Please tell me I'm not part of it."

Erza hid behind a crate, eyeing her girlfriend and her adoptive daughter. Right now, they were just talking to each other, seemingly debating on what to do.

Erza couldn't hear them, so she was going to move closer when she had heard an annoying obnoxious voice.

"And what you are doing!?"

With a growl, Erza turned to see Carla glaring at her. "What does it look like I'm doing?"

"It looks like you are ogling other people."

"I am so not!" Erza shouted back.

"Just because you are gay doesn't mean you can ogle other people."

"I am NOT gay!"

Carla only stared at her. "You are dating Lucy."

"...Fine. I am only gay for Lucy. Get off of my back!"

"Fine. Now leave. I need to spy on Wendy and Lucy." Carla said, making a shooing motion with her paw, wanting Erza gone.

"Excuse me!? I was here first!" Erza will not move, not for a damn cat.

"And I don't care. I'm more worried about what Wendy and Lucy will do!" Carla shouted back.

"And I'm worried what Wendy will do to my girlfriend!"

"And you are delusional!"

"White scabbing stray!"

"Perverted beast!"

"Nagging animal!"

"Dam-"

"What are you guys doing?"

Carla and Erza paused and turned to see Lucy and Wendy, each carrying a bag in their hand, looking at them confusingly. Wendy was surprised to see them. Lucy was not. And she was not happy.

"Well?" Lucy spoke up when neither of the two spoke.

"I-I...well...Carla bit me." Erza blurted out.

"I certainly did not!" Carla shouted.

"Did so!"

"Did not!"

"Did so!"

"Did not!"

Lucy sighed and rubbed her temple, faintly being reminded of Natsu and Gray. This was giving her a headache.

"Enough!" Lucy shouted, making Erza and Carla mute immediately. "I will not ask why you are here. But Erza, did you do what I had asked?"

Erza meekly shook her head with guilt.

Lucy inwardly sighed. "Then can you do it now?" Lucy said, eyeing Erza and Carla. "And no fighting!"

Erza shook her head and left to do what her girlfriend had asked her to do.

"Why did ya'll go out for shopping? What were you getting for Erza?" Carla asked after Erza had left.

"Well, Erza's birthday is tomorrow." Lucy answered, already excited for the occasion. She had already had some things done.

"Erza's birthday? So is that why you went shopping together?"

"Yep. Sorry I didn't take you with me, Carla." Wendy smiled at Carla apologetically.

Carla sighed. She couldn't stay mad at Wendy for a long time. "It's fine."

Erza was restless. She woke up the next day, and found that her girlfriend and her adoptive daughter was already gone. All they had left was a letter. Erza picked it up and read it:

To my little Knight,

I'm sorry that I had left without waking you up. But I needed to do something important and I needed Wendy and Carla with me. I'm really sorry about that. But I have a surprise for you. Come to the guild at noon. Do not come before that.

Please, just stay and read those erotic books or whatever, but just don't come before noon. Otherwise, there will be consequences. And I'm sure you don't want to know what they are.

So, stay until noon. Please.

I love you tons.

Lucy and Wendy.

P.S. Also from Carla

Erza put the note down and collapsed on the bed and stared at the ceiling. What time is it? She turned to look at the clock, seeing that it was only 8:23 A.M

A deep sigh escaped Erza's mouth.

...

Mira was directing some members on decorating the guild. Lucy and Wendy was decorating a cake in the kitchen. Carla was...somewhere.

Mira had also banned all the boys from the guild, otherwise they will be seeing a worst punishment than death. Thankfully they left and never came back, that is, until tomorrow.

She also ordered Reedus to stay and paint a memorable scenes to keep forever during the party. Master was also invited for common courtesy, and also because Erza saw him as a second father.

Now, Mira had one more person to deal with. Juvia. As amusing it was to watch Juvia despair from the distance, she didn't want her at the party. So...thankfully for her, she had thought of a plan ahead of time.

Mira approached Juvia with a smirk, in which Juvia does not know of Mira's habit. "Hello Juvia."

Juvia turned to face Mira with a deadpanned expression. "Yes Mira?"

Mira smirked wider. "I have something to tell you, something that you will want to know."

Juvia blinked and leaned in anxiously. "Juvia wants to know."

"I have a friend who has a dirty photo of Lucy."

Juvia immediately perked up and had hearts in her eyes. "Juvia wants you to tell her where this friend is!"

Mira smiled. "I was going to tell you. Here." Mira handed her the piece of paper with a fake location of where her so-called 'friend' is.

Juvia takes it and reads it. "Juvia wants to know who this person is."

"Jason from the Sorcerer Magazine." Mira answered.

Juvia was already gone after Mira had said that. Couple seconds later, Mira evilly grinned. Don't forget, Erza. I'm doing this for you. Plus, tormenting Juvia like this is fun. So, it's a win-win.

Juvia should be gone for couple of days, maybe weeks, searching for Jason for an imaginary picture of a dirty picture of Lucy.

Erza stared at the clock. She had been staring at it for 2 hours, not feeling like reading her erotic books or anything else. She was too tensed on the surprise at the guild that Lucy had said.

Right now, the clock was at 11:58.

2 more minutes, and Erza can go to the guild. 2 more minutes, Erza can go and wrap Lucy into her arms. She misses her warmth and her touch.

It was now 11:59.

Erza was already at the door, still staring at the clock, her hand on the knob. 1 more minute and Erza was allowed to go the guild. 1 more minute to see her girlfriend.

Erza tightened her grip on the knob, waiting impatiently for it to turn to 12:00.

Not another second, the clock had turned to 12:00 and Erza was already gone, running straight to the guild with a big grin to see her girlfriend and to have her in her arms.

Now on front of the guild, Erza now wonders what the surprise was. With stoic posture and movement, Erza opened the door, only to be screamed at.

"Happy Birthday, Erza!"

Erza blinked, looking at a small group of people in the guild. "Eh?"

Lucy approached them with a huge smile and hugged her tightly. Even through Erza's hard armor, Erza could feel Lucy warmth.

Erza hugged her back with a smile, happy to see her girlfriend. "Lucy...what is all this?"

Lucy pulled back with a frown. "Today is your birthday. January 12th."

"Huh?" Erza was quiet, slowly coming to a realization. "Oh...You're right. Guess I had forgot."

Lucy pouted. "Who would forget their own birthday?"

Erza smiled. "I was too busy thinking about you. And Wendy and the cat." Erza quickly added.

Lucy sighed and then smiled. "Well, happy birthday."

"Thank you." Erza smiled.

Lucy takes Erza's hand and guided her to a specific place in the guild. "I said I had a surprise for you. Ready to see it?"

"You mean this is not it?"

Lucy smiled and shook her head. "Nope, this is much better."

"I-I see." Erza was already excited, especially if it was from her girlfriend."

Lucy stopped at an empty part of the guild and turned to Erza. "Now, close your eyes."

Erza easily complied. She closed her eyes and was half-expecting a kiss...only to be tackled to the ground by a familiar voice.

"Erzy!"

Regaining from an unexpected tackle, Erza open her eyes to see one of her old friends. "Milliana?"

"Meow." Miliana meowed.

Erza stood to her feet with a wide grin. "It's so good to see you again!" Erza said, hugging her old friend.

Pulling away, Erza looked to see Sho and Wally standing with a grin.

"How are you guys here?" Erza asked, not that it was unwanted for them to be here. She wondered how they knew that today was their birthday, and wondered how they had gotten here.

"Lucy had contacted us, and wanted us to come to your birthday party as a surprise." Simon said.

"Lucy did?" Erza turned to find her girlfriend, only to see her engaged in a conservation with Mira and Cana.

Erza smiled to herself, extremely happy that Lucy had done this much for her.

Meanwhile, after Lucy cued them to surprise Erza, she left to let them talk and catch up on some things.

She walked up to Mira and Cana and wanted to know if all the other boys will stay away.

"Yep. I threatened them if they step a foot in this guild." Mira smiled.

"Yeah. She even tricked Juvia to go after a photo that doesn't even exist." Cana added. Mira immediately hit her in the head.

"Photo?" Lucy asked.

"It's nothing to worry about. This is about Erza, and I'm sure Erza doesn't want Juvia at this party."

Lucy narrowed her eyes. She wasn't convinced. "Whatever."

Erza had a blast. The party was very relaxing. Nobody was after Lucy. Nobody was destroying things. She had met with her old friends, arranged by her girlfriend. And they was about to have the cake. It looked delicious.

Lucy, seeing the glint of hunger in Erza's eyes, decided to say something. "Wendy and I worked really hard on the cake."

Erza paused her hungry hands that was creeping up on the cake and looked at Lucy, who was smiling. A cake...made by my girlfriend and by Wendy?

Erza takes the cake by the plate and scooted it close to her, indicating that she will not share. Only to Lucy...Maybe Wendy. She takes a fork and started to eat the cake and was immediately sent to heaven.

Lucy started to poke Erza on the cheek. "It would be nicer to share."

"But...this is the cake that you made."

"I can make more. But you should share."

Erza was silent, visibly pouting before an idea popped in her mind. She took a piece of cake with her fork and held it inches from Lucy's mouth.

"This isn't what I meant." Lucy frowned.

Erza only smiled. "I don't share my cake. You should know that. Except for you and Wendy. Now eat."

Lucy sighed and ate the piece of cake that was poking her lips.

Erza loves feeding her girlfriend like this. Too bad Lucy doesn't let her do it as much. So she was happy when Lucy complied.

10 minutes later, Mira approached the two with a smile. "Now, it's time for some presents!" Mira exclaimed, clasping her hands together with a wide smile.

People cheered and gave Erza their present one by one.

One by one, Erza was given presents by everyone she knew. The one person she wasn't expecting a present from was Carla.

Carla was standing in front of Erza, handing her an envelope. "I didn't give you this card because I wanted to."

Erza smiled as she took the card from Carla. "Thank you."

Carla scoffed and walked away, or would've walked away if Erza hadn't grabbed her so suddenly.

"W-Wait, what are you doing, you brute!?" Carla exclaimed, trying to break free.

Erza held her tightly and walked over to her old friends.

"Milliana!" Erza called out, keeping a firm grip on the white cat.

Milliana turned from her conservation with Sho and Wally and sees Erza walking toward her...holding a cat. She was already in front of Erza and that cat, meowing at the cuteness of the cat. She grabbed Carla and begun to hug the life out of her.

"You can have her." Erza said, wanting the cat gone.

"Really!?" Milliana perked.

"Now, hold on a minute! I am not a thing, and you are not allowed to give me away!" Carla yelled, glaring at the redhead, trying to escape from the clutches of the cat girl.

"It's another Happy!" Milliana squealed, hearing that the cat spoke.

"Do NOT compare me to that male-cat!" Carla had a disgusted look on her face.

Lucy walked over to them to check on them after hearing some yelling. "Is everything okay?"

"Erza is trying to give me away!" Carla cried, flailing hopelessly, wanting to go back to Wendy.

Lucy was silent, only for a second, before turning to Erza. "Is this true?"

Erza nervously chuckled. "Maybe?"

Lucy sighed and smack her on the arm. "You should know that Carla is family. What will Wendy think?"

"We can always get another cat!" Erza protested.

Lucy sighed deeply and walked over to Milliana and a flailing Carla. She quickly explained some things and soon managed to free Carla from Milliana and Carla immediately flew to where Wendy would be.

Erza pouted and jumped on Lucy, wrapping her arms around her. Lucy gave her a quick hug and a quick peck on the lips.

"W-Wait. What?"

Lucy and Erza turned to a shocked Milliana, Wally, and Sho, looking at them with wide eyes.

"You guys are dating!?" Milliana meowed.

"We had been for a while now." Lucy smiled.

Milliana had an glint in her eyes and approached them. "Who confessed first!?"

Erza surely loved this day. But what would've made this even better was if Lucy was to stay by her side and give her kisses and stuff...maybe go beyond that.

1 hour later, Lucy walked up to Erza and grabbed her arm. "Well, the party is officially over. They will stay and over party. Mira and Cana will watch Wendy. Now, I want you to myself." Lucy whispered in Erza ear.

Erza grinned before grabbing Lucy's hand and walked out of the guild. "Where to?"

"To the park." Lucy said, guiding her girlfriend. "The stars will be visible. You'll love it."

"I trust you." Erza smiled, letting herself be led by her blonde.

5 minutes later, Lucy and Erza was in the middle of the park, and the stars was visible, the night was nice and cool. It was quiet, and it was just them, and them alone.

Lucy latched onto Erza, wrapping her arms around Erza. "Happy birthday."

"Thanks. You didn't really need to do this." Erza smiled, reciprocating the hug with equal measure.

"You've done so much for me. This was the least I could do for you."

Erza smiled and then smirked. "Then you know what you can do?"

Lucy pulled away to look at Erza in the eyes. "What?"

"Give me a kiss."

Lucy chuckled. She complied and connected her lips with Erza, allowing for the perfect rhythm of their mouths as they kissed.

Their kiss continued onto for eternity, as they would've explained. It was ecstasy. It was pure bliss. And they never wanted it to end.

Reluctantly, they pulled away for air and opted to stare at each other, gazing into each other eyes. Neither one of them spoke, enjoying the silence of darkness of the night.

Erza was the first to speak after some time. "I love you, Lucy."

Lucy smiled. "I love you too."

Erza leaned in, hungry for more kisses, not wanting this to end again.

Erza was the happiest she had ever been, beside the day Lucy had become her girlfriend. Erza was happy to had met Lucy that day, she was happy that Lucy reciprocating her feelings. She was happy that Lucy was in her life. And she only hope that it will last forever.

Lucy is her life. Lucy is her reason to live. Lucy is her princess. And Erza is her knight in shining armor.

A/N: Two more fillers till we get to Edolas. It will be the Rainbow Cherry blossoms. One will be Lucy getting sick, like in the anime. The second one will be someone else. Can you guess who?
