Well you can probably imagine how worried Erza was after her talk with Professor Fernandes. She really hoped that this man wouldn't find anything that would lead back to Gray. However she wasn't sure if she should say anything. She didn't know for sure that this man or the police suspected anyone in the house and the last thing she wanted was to cause worry when none was needed.

"Something bothering you Miss Scarlet?" Natsu asked. "You've been looking a little frazzled ever since that friend of the doc's came by."

"I'm fine. Just a little worried."

"About what?"

"Natsu can I trust you to keep a secret?"

"Sure. What is it?"

"That man who came by the other day. He's looking into the murders."

"What? Is he a cop?"

"No. But I think the police are using him for the investigation."

"Does he suspect any of us?"

"Thankfully no but with him working with Cana it might bring him closer to finding out what's really going on."

"Should we tell Gray?"

"No. Not yet."

"But if someone's on to him-"

"No one's on to anything right now and I'm...I'm a little afraid that if I say something he might hurt that man or worse."

"Do  you really think he would do that?"

"Right now I have no idea what he's capable of. I believe that he would never harm anyone who lives under this roof and it's only criminals and low lifes he's killed so far but I feel like if he feels trapped he'll resort to anything."

"So what do we do?"

"For now let's keep this between us until further notice. In the mean time I want you to keep a close eye on him and make sure that he doesn't do anything to give himself away."

"Okay gotcha."

"And Natsu."

"Yes?"

"If you can...Try to distract him from killing."

"That won't be easy. He needs blood. His says it's the only thing that keeps him alive...So to speak."

"I know he can't help it but if he gets caught not only will he be killed but you and I could both end up in jail and Romeo would be taken away from me. Just try. Please try."

"Alright I'll try."

"Thank you. Where is he now?"

"In the living room. Reading."

"Go check on him. Make sure he's not getting blood thirsty."

Natsu nodded and went to the living room. At the moment Romeo was on the floor watching TV while Juvia sat on the sofa grading his papers. Gray walked in to sit down and read but became confused by the television. He had seen it a few times before but it wasn't on leaving him to believe that it was just some strange looking shelf or table. He looked at the screen like it was the work of magic or something supernatural.

"Gray is something wrong?" Juvia asked when she noticed his intense and confused gaze.

Just then a character on the show aimed it's gun and prepared to shoot. 

"Everyone down!" Thinking that a real gun was about to be fired, he grabbed both Romeo and Juvia then ducked behind the sofa.

"Gray what's gotten in to you?" Juvia asked. 

"Cover your head! Some guy is trying to shoot!" 

"You mean on the television?" 

"The what?"

"The television. Gray you actually thought that the man on the television was trying to shoot us? That's not real Gray."

"It's not?"

"No. Take a look."

Gray looked back at the television and saw that although the men on the show were shooting at each other none of the bullets were leaving the screen. 

"See? Nothing on the TV can touch us. It's all make believe. No one was in any danger."

Gray approached the the device with caution then slowly moved his hand toward the TV screen. He touched it with one finger and to his surprise it did nothing to disrupt what was happening on the show.

"What in God's name is this thing?" He asked.

"It's a TV." Romeo said. "Haven't you ever seen a TV before?"

"A TV?"

"Television." Juvia said. "It's a device that transmits visual images and sounds that are reproduced on the screen. They're used for entertainment, information, and education."

"I've never seen anything like this." Gray said. 

"They don't have TV where you're from?" Romeo asked.

"Not really."

"What are you? Amish?"

"Romeo do you even know what Amish means?" Juvia asked him.

"I know it's not normal. Stella must be a terrible place."

"Romeo that's not a very nice thing to say." 

"Well what kind of a place doesn't have TV?"

"Some places prefer to live without modern technology but that doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad place. Believe it or not Romeo people have lived without television for many years and they've found ways to be entertained."

"Not me. I couldn't live without TV."

 "Oh I think you could find a way to. You're very smart and creative boy, you'd think of something to amuse you."

They looked back at Gray who was now poking the TV.

"How long is he going to be doing that?" Romeo asked her. "I wanna see the new dinosaur movie that's coming on tonight and he's in the way. I can't see."

"Gray could you please move out of the way so Romeo can watch?" 

"Oh sorry." He said "I didn't mean to disturb you all. Please excuse me."

He left the room feeling very embarrassed. 

"I like him and all but sometimes he can be really weird. You know he calls cars horseless carriages?" Romeo said. 

"He's lived a very different way than we have dear. Our ways are different from his so he's a little confused." 

"I'll say. He didn't even know about dinosaurs before I told him and you wouldn't believe how he reacted when he read your book on that suffrage movement."

Juvia giggled a little at the boy's words then left him to watch his upcoming program. She decided to check up on Gray before finishing up on grading Romeo's paper. He was outside talking with Natsu who he had run into on his way out.

"These devices you people have in this era make no sense to me." Gray told him. "You have carriages that move without horses, a weird box that projects plays, and the women around here wear these very short corsets that only cover the chest."

"You mean bras?" Natsu asked him. "How do you know about those?"

"I found one in your room."

"Ahh!" Natsu cried blushing. 

"What are you doing with ladies undergarments?"

"It's not what you think! My laundry tends to get mixed up with the women's clothes sometimes."

"Oh. For a while I thought you were a cross dresser."

"That's what you thought I had the bra for?"

"Yes. What did you think I was implying?"

"Nothing. Just don't tell anyone about this."

"Okay but if it's just an honest mistake I don't see-"

"Just don't tell!"

"Alright."

"Excuse me." Juvia said stepping outside. "Sorry if I'm interrupting I just wanted to make sure that you were alright Gray. You seemed a little upset when you left."

"Thank you for your concern Juvia but I'm fine. I just felt a little embarrassed over my actions. I must've looked so stupid."

"Oh no. Believe me I'm sure that if anyone had never seen a television before and saw a scene like that for first time they would react the same way. Besides it was just in front of me and Romeo and we don't think any less of you."

"That's a relief. Your opinion matters a lot to me."

"Oh? I can't imagine why. I'm no one special."

"I disagree. Very much so."

She looked down while feeling very flustered. 

"Well I...I should get back to grading Romeo's papers. Have goodnight you two."

"Goodnight." They both said before she went back inside the house. Gray smiled as she walked away with that shy but cute expression on her face. Natsu noticed that smile and he recognized that smile. It was the same smile he made whenever he saw Lucy and it worried him that Gray was making it toward Juvia.

"What was that?" Natsu asked.

"What was what?" Gray replied.

"That 'your opinion matters a lot to me' what was that about?"

"Nothing."

"You like her don't you?"

"She's a nice young woman who's polite, caring, and is helping my family so yes I like her."

"That's not what I meant and you know that."

"I'm certain that I don't know what you're talking about and as much as I would love to keep chatting with you, I think I'll get back to finding a nice book to read."

And without another word he went back inside, leaving Natsu feeling very worried.
