Gray and Juvia awkwardly walked down to the teacher's lounge.

"Hi." Juvia suddenly said.

"Hi..." Gray answered back.

It then became silent again.

"So, got a name?" Gray asked through the silence.

"Juvia." the bluenette said.

"That's a cool name. I'm Gray."

"Gray-sama..."

"Please don't add the sama at the end."

"Juvia is sorry."

"So... what's your poison? You know, what do you drink?"

"Juvia's friend, Cana lets Juvia have sake when Juvia has a bad day."

"Alberona? The beer woman? I'm surprised that she isn't offering sake to strangers at this point."

It became awkward between the two again.

"Is that why you're here, cause you drank sake?" Gray asked.

"Why is Gray-sama here?" Juvia asked quickly.

Gray paused at first.

"I'm here cause, my dad doesn't want me to blow off any more practices."

"Okay so, will Gray-sama tell Juvia why he's really here?"

He paused again and the two kept walking.

"I guess Juvia will not know about it anytime soon..." Juvia whispered as the two approached the teacher's lounge.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two came back with several cans of Coke. Gray gave one to Erza and handed one to Lucy. Natsu grabbed one and threw it to Juvia, who caught it. Natsu grabbed him and went to sit by Erza.

"What do you have for lunch, Erza?" Natsu asked.

"Strawberry shortcake," she answered plainly, taking out her cake.

"Can I have it?"

"Do you wish to keep your hands?"

"Must you be so violent?"

"Yes." she answered as she took the first bite out of her cake.

Bored with Erza, Natsu moved back to his seat to see what Lucy and Gray were having. Lucy took out a sushi platter and began eating. Gray took out a ton of snowcones and began chomping on the ice.

"What the hell is that?" Natsu asked, looking at Lucy's food.

"It's sushi," she answered, eating a piece of tuna.

"You won't let me kiss you and yet, you eat that?"

"Can I eat without hearing your insults?"

"No, and Ice Princess, won't that give a brain freeze?"

"What about you, Fire Freak? I've seen you eat curry buns with extra hot sauce and I've never seen you burn your tongue." Gray shouted back.

"Will you morons shut it for ten seconds and eat?" Erza shouted.

Then, the whole commotion was silenced with one crunch from the back of the room.

The four turned to see Juvia biting into a sandwich with sugar and cereal in it.

"Juvia does not like being stared at." she said plainly as the group turned back to eat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After lunch, the room wasn't as silent as before.

"So, Lucy," Gray began, "You going to Mira's party this weekend?"

Lucy shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. My step-mom says I'm grounded but, my dad just told me to forget about it. Any minute now, divorce."

"That sounds great, princess." Natsu spat as he stood up.

"How's your family like then?" Lucy asked.

Natsu stood still as he turned towards her.

"Stupid, no good, god damn, son of a b*tch," he said in a drunk-sounding voice, most likely his father.

"You forgot lazy and disrespectful," he said crossing his arms, his mother.

He swung his arm, "Shut up, b*tch! Go fetch me a pot pie!"

"What about you, dad?"

"Shut up."

"No, dad. What about you?!" and he swung his arm again to punch the air.

"Is that true?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah," he said

"You stuttered. I bet this is all just a part of your act."Gray said.

Natsu approached him and he pulled off his scarf to see a scar on his neck.

"That looks about the size of what a pocketknife can cut. Do I stutter? Now, this is what you get when you spill paint in the garage.", he said, putting on his scarf again, "Now, I don't think that I have to deal with you f*cking dildos anymore." he backed himself into a bookshelf.

Natsu went into a rage and destroyed the table before he climbed up to the second floor of the library and sat down.

Lucy turned towards Gray saying, "You shouldn't have said that."

"How was I supposed to know that he was telling the truth?" Gray scoffed.
