AN: Do not own Fairy Tail

Erza slammed the doors to the Guild open and stormed in with a scowl on her face. She looked round at the guild members and screamed "Natsu, come out wherever you are and meet your doom."

No one was game to say anything, lest they become the target of her wrath.

Well no one but Mira, who smiled at Erza and said "Natsu, Lucy and Happy went on a job three days ago and are not due back until the end of next week."

"But that can't be," Erza cried out in frustration "who else would have burnt down my favourite cake shop."

Erza looked around the room and spotted Macao and Romeo.

She glared at them, while pulling out a sword and stomping towards them, saying "unless..."

Macao and Romeo paled as they leaned away form Erza. To terrified to get up and run.

Mira, seeing that Erza was going to deal out punishment before finding out the facts, piped up "have you thought that maybe the fire could have been started by non-magical means."

Erza, stopped and stared at Mira, as she said "I hadn't thought of that. This means my list of suspects has increased."

Macao and Romeo sighed in relief and sent Mira grateful looks.

Erza then spoke again "This requires more investigation," she turned around and stormed out of the Guild, grabbing Gray along the way, saying "you will help."

Three days later...

A rather bedraggled looking Gray came into the guild and plomped himself down at the bar.

"How's the investigation going?" Mira asked sweetly, as she placed a mug of whiskey in font of him.

"We found out it was an accident. Some fault with a new oven," Gray gulped down half his dink and continued, "Erza's on her way to the manufacturer's."

"Oh dear" Mia giggled, as Gray finished his drink.

AN: So what do you think?
