Juvia, our favorite Water Mage, scanned the bar for a certain long-haired man and smiled when he was found. Walking over, she took the seat next to what she had claimed to be one of her closest friends. She glanced over at him, trying not to look excited. “Did Gajeel-kun find it?”

He smirked and slid a piece of paper across the counter over to her. “Who do you take me for Rain Woman? It was easy.”

She let out an excited squeal, making Gajeel wince, as she took it. His sensitive hearing as touchy as ever. “Wonderful! Juvia is so happy that Gajeel-kun found it! Since the other shop owner is nowhere to be found!”

He narrowed his eyes at her in question. “What exactly...did ya want the info for..?”

She blinked over at him, the ‘duh’ factor in her voice as she spoke. “All is for Gray-sama!”

He hit his fist onto the countertop. “I knew it! You’re gonna buy some messed up love potion again ain’t ya!?” He had given her the information last time she had done this, but he never asked what she was going to do with the location of a potion shop. He had a mission that day, when she had ended up using it on almost all of their guildmates. Happy had told Lily what had happened and thus when it came to Gajeel’s ears, well to put it frank he couldn’t stop laughing, but after that he was just glad he wasn’t there to end up a victim.

She narrowed her eyes in response to his outburst and crossed her arms. “If Gajeel-kun must know, Juvia is going to use a potion on herself.”

He blinked. “What? I thought you said it was for the Stripper..?”

“Juvia is going to change herself for Gray-sama.”

He just gave her a blank stare. It took several minutes for him to gather his reply, getting more and more irritated. “Not happening.”

Her eyes narrowed more as she pouted in anger. “Why not!?”

His fist found the poor, now cracked, countertop again. “You don’t know what’ll happen! What if it’s permanent!? Or does somethin' weird to ya!?”

Her smile suddenly grew as her eyes gained a new sparkle, making Gajeel flinch. “Gajeel-kun cares!~”

To his embarrassment, he could feel his blush rising. “S-Shut it! You’re changin’ the subject! Give me back that address!” He reached for it, but she dodged. This continued and the two soon stood up with Gajeel yelling and cursing while chasing Juvia around the guild hall.

Not long after, Gajeel was able to grab her by the arms and bring her to him. As he held her down for just a second, the piece of paper almost in his grasp, she turned her body into water, falling to the floor, creating a big splash.

He twitched at being all wet before stomping his foot, causing a loud splash. “I freakin’ hate it when you do that!” He heard her giggling and turned his twitching gaze to see her a few feet behind him, paper still in hand.

After another round of chasing, he grew too angry and stopped, breathing heavily, before stomping out of the guild soaked to the bone. “Fine! Do whatever ya want! Don’t come cryin’ to me when it turns you inta somthin’ wacky!” Lily, who had been watching and chuckling from the sidelines like everyone else in the guild, followed his partner out the door.

Juvia grinned at her victory before skipping out of the guild, feeling slightly guilty that she had made Gajeel mad at her, but her desire for Gray-sama to look at her with passion in his eyes made her doubts wash away.

Gray, who was one of the many people to behold the scene, suddenly had a chill go down his spine. “Oh no…”

Natsu, who had noticed, raised a brow, speaking with his mouth full. “Whatsa maddar Icsh Chube?”

Gray shook his head. “It’s nothing...I hope…” A minute passed as a vain slowly grew on his forehead. “Who are ya callin' Ice Cube, Frame-for-Brains!?”

Lucy sighed as they started to fight, inwardly laughing at the fact that Gray understood Natsu at all. “I think I better stay home tomorrow…”

A FEW HOURS LATER

“So you want a potion to change your personality then?” Said the old woman who ran the shop that Juvia had just arrived at. The Water Mage nodded, looking quite determined and eager, ignoring the storm that was going on outside.

The old shopkeeper nodded and started scanning the long shelves of different colored and shaped bottles, her hand hovering over them as she walked until she stopped. “Ah...here we are.”

She took a green bottle off of the shelf and handed it to Juvia carefully. “Here deary. This will change your personality for 12 hours, but I can’t determine what kind of person you’ll turn into. Remember to drink every drop.”

Juvia smiled widely as she took the potion as thunder struck, flashing her face as the light came through the window. “Thank you so much! Juvia is fine as long as she’s not Juvia for a while…” She had determined that her Gray-sama finds her creepy and scary. Therefore the problem must be within herself. If so, then this should work out for the better.

After walking all the way back to Fairy Hills in the storm grinning like a weirdo in the dark rainy night, she ran into her room as fast as she could and shut the door behind her with a slam. Trying not to manically laugh too loudly, she opened the bottle and began to drink.

The lightning flashed through the window to show her shadow drinking the potion. Soon after she had finished, she fell to her knees and winced. The change was strange but her determination overlooked anything else. Her eyes started to grow heavy as she fought sleep. After a moment, the overwhelming feeling grew and she was out, the thunder not even waking her until she woke up the next morning.

AT THE GUILD THE NEXT DAY

Gray glanced around the room. Something was off...strange even, but he couldn’t pinpoint it. Something was definitely wrong though. Almost missing. Yeah, that was it. Something was missing. He glanced around again before it hit him.

He turned to Lucy, who was sitting across from Natsu. “Have you seen Juvia today?”

The blonde thought a moment before shaking her head. “No I haven’t. What about you Natsu? Have you seen Juvia?”

The pinkette stuffing his face swallowed before raising a brow. “What are you guys talking about? She’s right over there.” He pointed what looked like a half eaten chicken wing towards the guilds doors, which were now open with the Water Mage standing in the doorway.

“Drip, drip, drop.” She said quietly as she walked in, soaking wet because of the constant rain outside, but she didn’t seem to care.

The three watched silently as she walked over to the farthest end of the bar to sit quietly, which wasn’t that far from their table. She looked almost...depressed. Lucy winced at the sight and then narrowed her eyes at Gray. “Did you do something to Juvia?”

He blinked and took offense. “I haven’t done anything!”

She didn’t look convinced, but let it go, frowning. “Well, maybe you should go talk to her. She looks really sad.”

He narrowed his eyes at his teammate. “Why don’t you go talk to her then if you’re so worried?”

She mimicked his look. “One, don’t act like you’re not worried, and two, if I go talk to her she’ll start the whole ‘love rival’ thing.”

He was about to make some kind of comeback when he noticed something. He stopped and slowly turned his head. “Lucy...Where’d Flame Brain go..?”

She also stopped and looked at the empty seat where the Fire Dragon Slayer once was. “Uh…”

“Water Lock!”

They both stiffened and slowly turned around to see and irritated Natsu trying to yell in Juvia’s Water Lock. Lucy face palmed. “Oh no…” Gray started laughing beside her and she grinned, standing up to go behind him while he was distracted before pushing him as hard as she could forward.

As he landed on his face in front of Juvia, who had stood to unleash her attack, Natsu turned all of the water around him into steam and landed on his feet, flailing at the Water Mage. “What did ya do that for!?”

“Drip, drip, drop.”

Gray, after groaning, stood and somehow lost his shirt in the process. He looked over at his crazy blue haired friend only to blink in surprise. Flashbacks of their first meeting started going through his head. Her hair was straight with curled ends and her outfit was the same as that time before she was a Fairy Tail wizard. He locked eyes with her and regretted it. They were cold and empty, holding no emotion. He gulped. “Juvia..?”

Her reaction wasn’t what he was use to. She didn’t squeal his name or call out in a fantasy, just stared at him for a moment before looking away and sitting back down. His jaw dropped as Natsu voiced his own thoughts at the same time as Gray did. “She ignored me!?” Though the Dragon Slayer was only talking about how Juvia ignored his own question.

Lucy, who was only a table away, spit out her drink before running out of the guild in fear. “JUVIA IGNORED GRAY!? THE WORLD MUST BE ENDING! I KNEW I SHOULD’VE STAYED HOME TODAY!”

Gray swallowed his fears and started walking towards her, making it to the seat next to her and sat down. If he had done this yesterday, she would’ve started to do that crazy fangirling and clung to him while talking about thirty-three babies or something. However, he was only met with silence.

Two minutes went by.

Five minutes went by.

Finally, after the ten minute mark, he was about to say something when she spoke, stiffening at how low, cold, and lifeless her voice sounded. “Want do you want from Juvia?” She stared at him like he was an annoying gnat flying around her head and it made him flinch.

“I-I. Uh. Um. J-Just-” He stuttered in his shock until she glared at him, stopping him altogether. How could she even pull such a dark look off? He was totally confused until the solution finally came to mind.

Ah, Erza must have knocked him out again. That would explain everything. This was a dream, right? A dream that turned into a nightmare because he keeps holding off on Juvia’s affections.

But it was so real.

Because it was real.

“Juvia doesn’t have time to waste with you, so if you wouldn’t mind, please refrain from talking to her. Its annoying.”

His jaw dropped again. What was going on? Was this some kind of punishment? What had he done to deserve this? More than anything right now, he wanted the old Juva back, because the one before him now was way scarier than the one he had avoided yesterday.

In his pure state of shock, the Ice Mage didn’t notice Natsu come up and start dragging him over to the table and started shaking him. “Yo Ice Princess! You gotta do somethin’!”

Gray, after snapping back to his senses, pushed Natsu’s arms off and pointed at the Water Mage behind them. “I don’t even know if that’s really Juvia or not!”

Natsu shook his head. “No it’s her alright. Same scent and everything...but it’s weird. I’m picking up somethin’ else…”

Gray blinked, refocusing on Natsu. “Something else?”

He nodded. “Have no idea what though, but it smells weird.”

The Ice Mage sighed in defeat before leaning on the table. “What should we do then..?” He felt pretty pathetic for asking Natsu for advice, but at the same time he’s run out of options.

The Fire User thought a moment, long and hard before opening his eyes. “You know, when she attacked me, the water tasted the same as that weird smell, I think it was coming from the water. Like it was mixed with it.”

Gray sat back up. “Yeah? What about it?”

Natsu grinned. “Maybe if we make her use all of her water, then she’ll turn back to normal!”

Gray sighed. “Stupid. She’ll just reuse her water by using her magic.”

“Not if I make it turn inta steam, or ya freeze it.”

Gray thought over that for a moment before standing up. “Alright, It’s not like we have any other choice.”

The two turned to her and tapped her shoulders with confidence. She turned in her chair to glare at them with her sharp gaze. “What?”

Whatever courage the two may have had a minute ago seemed to disappear in a blink of an eye as they stared into hers. How could their usually happy-go-lucky friend become as scary as Erza..? Before a word came out of their mouths, Natsu did the smartest thing he thought of and pushed Gray forward. “Ya see, Gray wanted ta pick a fight with ya! S-So I’ll just be goin’ and stuff. Aye!” And he ran straight out of the guild.

“Fight?”

Gray, again in the state of shock, was looking out of the doors where Natsu had ran out of when she spoke. He turned nervously back to see Juvia looking at the ground. Then she stood, making him flinch, and looked up with a new kind of determination in her eyes. “Alright.”

He blinked, knowing he was growing paler by the second. “Alright..?”

“Drip, drip, drop. Water Slicer.”

“AHHHH!!! I HATE YOU NATSU!!!”

ON THE STREETS OF MAGNOLIA

“Stupid rain…”

“Gajeel, if you’re worried, just say so.” Pantherlily said while riding his comrade’s shoulder. It was amusing watching the Big Oaf pace in his apartment all morning before he had finally decided to head towards the Guild Hall, not seeming to care that he was going to get wet.

They were almost there when Gajeel growled his reply. “I ain’t worried alright? I just need some food in my stomach since we’re out again.” Lily rolled his eyes in response.

Suddenly, Natsu sprinted right by them, leaving heavy plies of dust in his trail while yelling. “LEAVE THE WINDOW UNLOCKED FOR ME LUCY!”

The two blinked at the scene and then at each other. Gajeel had a bad feeling in his gut. "That can't be good..."

Lily was staring to see why his large friend was worried. "Well-" He pointed to the doors. "Behind there lies the answer to our worry..."

When Gajeel walked up to the doors, yelling and loud smashing could be heard. The two glanced to one another again before Gajeel opened the door, his jaw dropping at the sight before him.

The guild was halfway destroyed. Tables and chairs were sliced into pieces. Cut marks covered the walls and pillars. There wasn’t many guild members in the room, most likely left as soon as the fight started. Everything was covered in water and ice, and standing in the middle of it all was a obviously tired Juvia and Gray.

After blinking in surprise, Gajeel started to walk over when Juvia suddenly got angry and started attacking Gray, who yelped and started running away.

“What the h-” He was cut off by Lily, who had whacked him in the head. “No cursing Gajeel, the writer didn't rate this story with mature content.”

Gajeel grumbled amd then growled. “Heck then. What. The. Heck.”

So he watched for a moment until he looked around the room again. Almost everyone had left to save themselves. He noticed Erza in the corner of the room and pointed at the maham. “Oi! Titania! Shouldn't you be doin’ somethin’ about this!?”

Said redhead didn’t even look up from her spot. “I’m in the middle of eating precious cake right now Gajeel, why don’t you take care of it?”

“YOU AND YOUR FREAKIN’ CAKE.” He yelled before stomping over to the two, mumbling to himself. “Fine, she wants me ta do somethin’? then I’ll do somethin’...”

Lily took this chance to fly off of the Iron Dragon Slayer’s shoulder and sit on a piece of what use to be a table to watch. If only he had a recording Lacrima…

Gajeel stood in between the two and put his hands up, stopping Juvia and Gray in their tracks. Their eyes widened. “Gajeel!” They both said in surprise. Gray sighed in relief. “Gajeel! You gotta help me! Something is wrong with Juvia!”

Gajeel turned to her and finally got a good look at her. His eye twitched and his face turned dark at the mere sight of what seemed to be a picture of the past. She even said that ‘drip, drip, drop’ stuff like she use to. And he also recalled that it had been raining...There was only one thing he could say in this situation…

“Holy Crap she’s back...”

Another minute went by before Gajeel turned to her completely in irritation. “Dang it Rain Woman! I knew if you went to that freakin’ potion shop somethin’ like this would happen! This is why you should listen to me!”

Gray blinked. “Potion shop..?”

The Dragon Slayer suddenly turned around to turn his irritation on Gray. “You!” The Ice Mage blinked in surprise as he continued. “You’re the one that freakin’ drove her to this!”

The Ice Make Mage’s eye started to twitch, growing irritated himself. “I didn’t do anything!”

Gajeel took a step closer. “That’s the problem Stripper! Can’t ya just tell ‘er yes or no already!?”

Gray also took a step closer in anger. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

Gajeel’s forehead was now pushing against Gray’s, veins showing up. “Oh really!?”

Gray pushed right back. “Really!”

The two were so busy arguing that they didn’t notice the topic of their argument fall to her knees. Her vision started to blur and her eyes were gaining that all too familiar heaviness. Lily, who was laughing at Gajeel for being such a brother, seemed to notice and stopped chuckling. “Juvia!”

The two stopped and as soon as they looked over, saw her pass out and fall completely to the floor. Both called her name and ran over in panic. Lily flew over to try and calm down Gajeel, who was freaking out and trying to wake the poor girl up by shaking her violently.

Gray was beside him and called out to her. “Come on Juvia! Wake up!” However, the only response they got was Juvia’s body turning into water, literally slipping through their fingers.

“AHHH!” They both cried, freaking out more, if possible.

“Stupid Iron Breathe! How could you shake her like that!? Now look at what you did!”

“Me!? If you could just state your freakin’ feelings, none of this would’ve happened!”

As the two went at it again, Lily watched as the water gathered behind them to reform into Juvia, who seemed to be waking up, sitting up with her hand on her forehead. “Wha...What happened to Juvia..?”

Lily turned to her and smiled, relieved that she was back to normal. “It seems that whatever changed you has left your system. Which is good because you had those two worried sick.”

She looked over at them and rubbed her eyes, feeling like she had slept for hours. She was just extremely tired. Her eyes found their forms and realized that that was where all of the yelling was coming from. “Gajeel-kun? Gray-sama? Why...are you yelling?”

The two stopped in mid sentence at the voice. Quickly, they turned to her and was glad to find her back to normal, sighing in relief and falling to the floor simultaneously. “Thank Mavis!”

She yelped in response and started freaking out. “W-What’s wrong!? Gajeel-kun? Gray-sama!?” She then noticed the room around her. “W-W-What happened to the guild!?” Her confusion was making her even more dizzy.

Lily only sighed, glad that everything was back to normal.

“WHAT DID YOU BRATS DO TO MY GUILD HALL!?”

Well...Almost everything.
