“I’m leaving Fairy Tail”, Juvia just blurted out. At that moment, Gray’s eyes widened with fear. “Goodbye Gray”, she said.

____________________________________________________________

Fairy Tail Guild

“Hey Mira! Hey Kinana!”, Lucy greeted the white haired mage who was wiping dishes at the counter with Kinana.

“Lucy!”, Mira excitedly greeted her back.

“Looks like everything’s fine here huh?”, Lucy said while scanning the guild. No one seems to create a brawl yet.

“Seems like Natsu’s not here yet”, Mirajane giggled.

“I figured. As soon as he’s away from the guild, Master’s going to be saved from headaches”, Lucy laughed.

“Well, Natsu is Natsu after all”, Kinana laughed as well.

“Hey everyone!”, Natsu came in with a loud bang from the doors with Happy on his side.

“And there goes the silence”, Lucy sighed.

“Lucy, you’re so mean, you didn’t let us in your apartment yesterday”, Natsu said.

“Aye, she locked the windows securely”, said Happy.

“Maybe that will teach you to value my privacy. Besides you never tried the door didn’t you?”, Lucy looked at them. Natsu and Happy shared a surprised expression. “I thought so”

“You mean you left your door open instead?”, Natsu asked. “That was reckless Lucy!”

“Right, as if that will stop you from barging in”, Lucy said.

Just then Gray bumped Natsu from behind.

“Hey are you trying to pick a fight early in the morning Popsicle?”, Natsu fisted his hands and lit it with fire.

“Don’t start a brawl so early Natsu!”, Lucy tried to calm him down for she doesn’t want to have problems so early. She looked at Gray and for some reason, Gray didn’t make a fuss out of it like he normally do. He slumped on the other table. “Something’s wrong with Gray”

“What happened to him?”, Natsu asked.

“Looks like he has some issues. He didn’t even bother to look at Natsu”, Mirajane said with a hand over her mouth.

“Hey Ice Freak what’s into you?”, Natsu teased wanting tog ain information from him.

“Natsu you idiot!”, Lucy slapped herself.

Natsu kept on bothering him until Gray snapped. He glared Natsu, one that could rival Erza and at that moment, Natsu stopped and straightened as he walked away towards Lucy.

“What happened?”, Lucy was shock from what she just witnessed.

“Something’s wrong with him indeed”, Natsu squeaked.

“I wonder what it is”, Kinana said. “He hadn’t stripped his clothes yet”

“All of you, I have an announcement to make”, Master Makarov appeared from the second floor. Erza was beside him and it looks like Erza has a gloomy expression as well. Everyone gathered at the center.

“Huh? Where’s Juvia?”, Lucy asked when she noticed the water woman’s absence.

“It pains me to tell you all, but one of our own has left us”, Makarov started. Gasps were heard and created uproar.

“What!”, some gasped.

“Let me finish”, Makarov coughed to silence them. “From this day on, Juvia Loxar is not part of Fairy Tail anymore. She…..she isolated herself and decided to….leave us”, Makarov said. “It doesn’t mean that we cut all ties with her, she is still family. But now, her presence will never be felt in this guild again”, Makarov ended with a tear.

“That can’t be!”, Lucy put a hand over her mouth. The others were as surprised as she was.

“WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS GRAMPS!”, Natsu shrieked out. Makarov just turned his head. Natsu looked and dashed towards Gray, pulling his shirt up in the process. “Is this your fault?”, Natsu asked.

“Don’t make stupid accusations Flamehead. You don’t know anything that happened”, Gray glared at him.

“Stop it both of you!”, Erza shouted.

“Fighting won’t help Natsu. We can’t just assume Gray has something to do with this”, Lucy held Natsu’s arms, trying to calm him down. Natsu pushed Gray to the ground and stomped away.

“Gray are you alright?”, Levy and Cana asked.

“I’m alright. I’m used to Natsu. Besides, I actually need it”, Gray sat up.

Levy and the rest just had a confused look.

That night…..

“Hey Gray?”, Lucy approached him with Natsu tailing behind her. Gray was currently had his face down the table. It was odd of him to be looking like that the whole day.

“Oh it’s you guys”, Gray adjusted to his seat.

“Sorry for what we did earlier. Come on Natsu apologize as well!”, Lucy grabbed Natsu closer.

“Why should I apologize to him? I didn’t do anything wrong!”, Natsu annoyingly said.

Lucy looked at him straight on the eye and glared deadly at him. Seriously, she said “Do it!”, with a very low voice.

“Y-Y-Yes”, Natsu’s spine shivered.

“It’s alright, you don’t have to, besides, I’m the one at fault. I probably have to thank you Natsu for doing that to me”, Gray said.

“What happened?”, Erza asked this time.

“What do you mean?”, Gray asked back.

“You know exactly what we mean. You’re acting strange since Master’s announcement. What is bothering you? Is it Juvia?”, Lucy said.

“Her concern is not my problem”, Gray flatly said.

“I don’t believe you”, Natsu intercepted their conversation.

“What do you know Natsu?”, Gray glared at him for the nth time.

“You may not look like it but still you are worried about her. There’s something you’re not telling us so I suggest you spit it out man. We’re friends aren’t we?”, Natsu said. Lucy and the others smiled at him, encouraging him to say it.

“I….I don’t actually know for myself. I feel like I’ve lost something important but when I think about it….”, Gray leaned his head to his hands. “I don’t know myself! Darn it!”

“Idiot”, Erza hit his head not too hard.

“You’re getting worked up over something trivial Gray, that’s all”, Lucy hit his back not too hard as well.

“Hey what are you guys think you’re doing huh? That hurts!”, Gray scolded them while rubbing the two places they hit him.

“That might teach you to think things through”, Lucy and Erza both said.

“What are we talking about again?”, Natsu finally asked with confusion in his eyes.

“Don’t ask Natsu, you’re too dense to understand it anyways”, Happy said with a disappointed tone.

“What was that?!”, Natsu asked irritably.

“Give it up Flamehead”, Gray smirked for the first time.

“I dare you to say that again stupid!”, Natsu teased.

“Thank you guys”, Gray said.

“So can you tell us what exactly happened between you and Juvia yesterday?”, Erza asked.

“Well….”, Gray started.

____________________________________________________________

“Juvia Loxar”, an old woman’s voice said.

“Yes”, Juvia replied.

“You wish to enter our guild huh?”, the woman said again.

“Well, about that….”, said Juvia.

“Well considering that you are from Fairy Tail, can I ask the reason why you suddenly left and ask permission to enter our guild?”, asked the woman.

“I……”, Juvia started.

“State your reasons girl, if you don’t I’ll make you spin!”, the woman said harshly.

“Well I…”, Juvia was about to reason out when….

“Is it true that Juvia is here?!”, a man’s voice cheerfully rang through the room when the doors opened with a loud sound.

“Ah, I see you’re back from your mission”, the old woman said.

“I don’t have time for that Granny, I came here to see…..”, the man’s vision zeroed to the water woman standing in front of their guild master. “Juvia my beloved! It’s true! You really are here!”, the man almost leapt towards her.

“I see, so you know her huh?”, the older woman said.

“Of course. Granny, allow her to join our guild. I’ll take full responsibility of her”, said the man.

“If you go that far for this woman, I have nothing more to object. She will be in your team I presume”, the older woman said.

“Of course”, the man bowed politely at the older woman then turned his attention to Juvia. “Welcome to our guild, Juvia”, he offered his hand for her to take.

“Lyon-sama”, Juvia hesitantly walked towards him and reached out her hand.

“Welcome to Lamia Scale”
