★ Chapter 9 | Twin Encounter ★

♪ ♫ ~♪ ♫ ~♪ ♫ ~ One Week Later

It was Saturday morning. Lucy Heartfilia yawned as she sat up on her bed, she stretched her arms and stood up from her bed. “Oh no! We’re having a shoot for our music video!” She looks at her alarm clock beside her bed and the time was 6 :45 AM.

“50 minutes! I have to be fast!” She quickly goes to the bathroom and took a bath. After seven minutes, she wears her clothes on, putting her make-up, arranging her hair, and dashed downstairs for breakfast.

“Virgo! What’s for breakfast? Sorry but I’m in a hurry!” Lucy went to the dining table and surprised that Virgo was on the corner of the room bowing to her.

“I’m sorry princess!” She apologized while bowing.

“Ehhh?” Lucy blinked. “Why are you aplogi – “ She didn’t finished because someone cut her sentence.

“Lucy, I’ve prepared breakfast for you!” Suddenly Laxus appeared in front of her.

“Don’t listen to him! I was the one preparing breakfast for you!” Sting suddenly appeared beside Laxus.

“Virgo why is this boy still here?” Laxus asked the two maids. “B-Boy…?” Sting said with an annoyed look.

“I’m sorry Laxus-sama, but he won’t go out.” Virgo said. Sting and Laxus started to bicker.

“Uhmmm… Sting, onii-chan?” Lucy spoke and the two men looked at her. “I need to eat now because I’m going to be late~” Lucy whimpered. Both Sting and Laxus blinked at her.

“Waaah ~ Gomenasai Lucy-chan!” They both bowed down. “Here sit here.” Sting said letting her sit down. “And here’s your breakfast.” Laxus puts a plate in front of her already stuffed with food. “Here’s your milk ~” Sting served her a glass of milk. “Bon appetite.” They both said.

“Arigato onii-samas~! Etto…” Lucy scratched her cheek. “Why don’t you two join me for breakfast?” Sting and Laxus looked each other for a moment. Sting dashed to sit on the left side while Laxus sit on the right side. “Okay we’re complete!” Lucy clapped her hands two times.

“Let’s eat!”

“Layla… I’m sorry.” A woman said with red short hair said looking at a photo of her old friend, Layla Starlock-Heartfilia.

“Mom! I’m going! We need to record for our first album today!” Her daughter said and the woman quickly hid the photo on her pocket.

“Okay, Erza. Have a safe trip.” The woman answered.

♪ ♫ ~♪ ♫ ~♪ ♫ ~

{After many hours of recording their songs}

“Good! You’ve done recording 20 songs just in hours!” Evergreen said.

“Now all we have to do is to pick 17 songs for your first album.” Ultear said. Lucy, Erza and Juvia nodded.

“Let’s start discussing.” Kagura said and all of the staff, managers and the three artists sat on the table discussing about the album.

After the discussion, Erza, Lucy and Juvia decided to go dinner together. “It’s 7 in the evening.” Erza said.

“Where should we go first?” Lucy said.

“Let’s eat on a Japanese restaurant over there!” Juvia pointed the Japanese restaurant she was talking about across the street.

“Okay then.” Erza and Lucy answered.

The three of them sat on a table for four persons, and then the waiter came to them and asked about their orders. After saying their orders to the waiter, they chat to themselves about their album and making sure that no one hears their conversation.

“Do you think many would buy our first album?” Lucy asked.

“Of course, our first mini album is already sold out here in Korea! Soon we will be famous across the world.” Juvia said.

“Alright then,” Erza spoke. “RQ’s goal is to be famous here in Korea, then on Japan, China, Philippines, America and on many countries across the world. So what do you say?”

“Of course I’m into it, Erza.” Lucy said.

“This would be – “ Juvia didn’t finished her sentence because her eyes widened and gawked.

“What’s the matter Juvia?” Lucy asked looking at her worriedly and looks at Erza. Erza was looking at her too, Lucy and Erza slowly turned their heads on where Juvia is looking. When they already realized they both gasped, they saw another Juvia standing beside their table. “Two Juvias…” Lucy said to herself.

Juvia has a twin?! Erza thought.

“J-Juvee onee-chan…” Juvia said. “Y-You’re here already?” (A/N : Anyway, Juvee looks like the Juvia in Edolas, same outfit, same face, same glaring eyes…)

“Juvia, it’s been a long time.” She said looking straight at Juvia with her eyes looking cold. Yes that person was Juvee Lockser, Juvia Lockser’s twin sister and also the older sister of Juvia.

♪ ♫ ~♪ ♫ ~♪ ♫ ~

“Juvee one-chan, when did you and mom arrived here?” Juvia asked. Juvee sat beside Erza, as Lucy was sitting beside Juvia facing Erza.

“Just this morning.” She said. Lucy and Erza were eyes on her observing her and trying to compare her with Juvia. “I heard that you’re in an idol group that just debuted a week ago.”

“U-uhh yes! Meet Lucy and Erza here.” The two of them smiled at her.

Juvee looked at them and faced Juvia. “Okay. Nice meeting you two.” She said in a cold tone. Erza and Lucy looked at each other and understood each other. She’s really different from Juvia. That’s what they understood.

“So how’s your work in Paris?” Juvia asked.

“Oh as a fashion designer, I’m getting famous – no I’m already one of the famous designers there.” Juvee said. “Le Chic is the talk of the town, which is where I work.” Juvee explained while looking at her fingers.

Juvia gasped. “You’re awesome nee-chan!” She turned to Lucy and Erza. “She can speak French too.” Lucy’s and Erza’s mouths had an ‘o’.

“Excuse me, here’s your orders – “ The waiter said tripping on a person’s foot and the tray that he was carrying with drinks splashed on Juvee. The waiter quickly bowed. “I’m sorry ma’am I’ll clean up this mess.”

Juvee looked at him with shame. “You should be careful next time!” She said with an angry look on her face.

“Hai.” The waiter bowed and quickly went to the kitchen.

“Onee-chan you don’t have to be mean like that…” Juvia said.

Juvee shook her head and crossed her arms. “Lower class people like them should have more respect to a high class person like me.” She said with pride.

Juvia shut her mouth and looked down. Lucy and Erza’s awed at Juvee’s behavior and looked at each other. The two can’t speak; they were really loss of words.

“Onee-chan are you sure that you’re not going with us?” Juvia asked.

Juvee sighed with annoyance. “You already asked about three times, no I’m not going with you. I’ll be walking alone.” Juvee started to walk away from the trio.

“Juvia, is that really your sister…? You two are really different well except for the face and your structure.” Lucy said.

“You may have the same face and appearance,” Erza paused for a while. “But your personality and attitude don’t.”

Juvia sighed. “Onee-chan’s goal ever since she was young is to be perfect in everything she does and wants to be on top of everyone. She looks down at a person and thinks that she’s always right and one step ahead of them.”

While Juvee was walking through a dark side of the city, she felt someone was following her. She turned around and saw no one. She blinked and started to walk again, but a little faster.

“She doesn’t depend on anyone but herself. She really persuaded mom and dad to work there on Paris, to be a fashion designer.”

Juvee turned around again, it was the fourth time for her to turn her head. She sweatdropped. I must walk faster. She thought and shook her head. No, you must run. Juvee started to run, but she was slow. Her head was facing at her back as her legs run forward.

“Hihi, you can run, but you can’t hide.” A man’s voice said from the darkness.

Juvee stopped and looked around. “Who are you? I’m not afraid of you!”

The man laughed then suddenly something grabbed her waist by strong arms. Juvee squealed. “Someone help me!” She said as she struggled.

“Oi let her go!” Someone said while punching the man’s face that hugged Juvee from the waist. The man who was holding her let go of her while Juvee landed on the ground feeling pain on her butt. The man escaped. “Oi Juvia,” The man asked that saved her. “why do you look so weird?” He petted her head and moves his face closer to hers. “Hmmm…”

Juvee blushed and slap the man’s face. “I’m not Juvia!” She stood up and turned to the stranger to face him. “Thank you for the help!” She said as she run away and found a taxi going her way and ride on it. Who was that guy? And what’s this feeling? Juvee touched her chest feeling her heart pumping so fast. It’s the first time I’ve been feeling it…

The man just blinked. What the hell happened to Juvia? He thought.
