So I write things when I feel something is missing. I don't think anyone wrote a Juvia = OC fic, the OC coming from our world (their souls switch bodies), if it has been done, sorry for the mistake, but it was something I thought could be fun. Originally I also thought it to be GajeelxOC instead of GrayxOC, but I figured out it would mess too much with the story since I've decided to follow the anime to a certain extent. I might take a different turn after the Tenrou arc, but I have not decided yet. It's a big project I guess.

Updates will be once a month at least. More might come, but it depends on the process in writing, it takes longer than you might think to write while the anime goes. It's a lot of pausing-writing-play-pause...so on xD December will be two updates. The second chap will come 23 dec, most likely.

I'll say this once: I do not own Fairy Tail, also I apologize now for grammar mistakes and other mistakes that might be noticed (that I haven't when going through it)

Enjoy reading! R&R

Chapter 1:

Mia Bluesky Star had never imagined that her life would take an unexpected turn. Neither had she imagined her parents leaving her all those years ago. Of course she could not really blame them for dying, but she did blame them for not being there for her. Instead she was left with a distant aunt and her greedy husband. As soon as she could she moved out and in with her best friend Cornelia. Together they started college and both forgot their previous life.

Mia, or Bluesky as she preferred, spent a lot of time with Fairy Tail. Fairy Tail had been the world she could dream herself away. Imagine she was part of it, or just read fanfiction for that matter. She was a fan, but she was not a crazy fan. She was a fan in silence.

Cornelia was the one who first introduced her to FT, though for her it did not take long before she lost interest. Mia never did. Her interest stayed with her for a long time. No matter how much it sometimes annoyed her best friend, but she really could not help herself. Maybe that was why things seemed to happen to her? She was not obsessed, far from it, but sometimes she really preferred the fantasy world. Why not? Why couldn't she? Not that she ever would be paired off with one of the hotties in the guild. No, she preferred the sidelines. Just to observe in her own imagination.

It was summer. Well, the end of summer and school had started up again. The hectic days were back, and both Mia and Cornelia were stressing in their own rooms. However, Mia always somehow found the time. She stood in front of her mirror and brushed through her long and wavy light blonde hair. Her bright blue eyes stared back at her and she briefly looked down. It was the eyes that always reminded her of her past and her family that was no more.

Mia was beautiful, tall, and skinny. Sometimes her best friend thought she was keeping check on her weight, but that was not true. She loved food, and she was great at making it too. Maybe not great, but good. And her favorite food was always great. She just had an awesome body. Her breasts were small, not too flat, but they were not in the way and that's how she preferred them. How else could she move more freely when practicing with daggers? She loved it. She was happy with herself, at least in looks. Although not so much with her personality. Every day seemed to be an act from her part and it was no longer because of her parents' death.

Her life had changed her. Living at her aunt's place had changed her. A lot. She was no longer her happy self who always seemed cheerful. No. She was simply a mask. Because behind the mask was bitterness. Even though she did not live long with her aunt, it was enough to shape her. She was cruel and made her out to be part maid in the house she lived in. Sadly she could not compare herself to Cinderella. That's why it had been such a relief to move in with Cornelia. The pieces had fallen into place. Or so she had thought. She was not able to get back to her old self. It was almost as if she was stuck in the past.

"I swear Mia, if you are not ready soon I will leave without you," Cornelia threatened.

Mia shrugged and grabbed her purse before she ran to the front door. Cornelia's hair was a mess and she was tapping her foot hard against the floor with arms crossed. No, she was not a morning person, especially when she overslept.

"I brought a brush," Mia said. Cornelia smiled and she knew she had been forgiven.

"Good, now I don't have to worry," Cornelia said and added a loud sigh.

Quickly they left and went through their day. It was uneventful like most days. When they returned home Mia made dinner, they ate, and then they watched a movie before they both went to their rooms. Mia finished her homework and then went straight to read fanfiction of FT. It did however not take her long to get bored. It was so much of the same! And it was just not enough fanfics for her to read. With a heavy sigh she got ready for bed.

It was a night where she was restless. Almost as if she knew something was going to happen. She kept twisting and turning in bed with no idea that in another dimension where Fairy Tail was real, Juvia Lockser had the same problem. At the same time, in a dream, they both wished to be somewhere else. Juvia, somewhere without magic, and Mia, a place with magic. At the same time their souls left their bodies and made the switch. Only time could tell if they would return, unless their soul got bound to the place they now had chosen. For both girls it would be an interesting morning, but Mia would maybe have the hardest time. Because in that moment her fate was changed and she was now Juvia Bluesky Lockser. Guild member of Phantom Lord.

Mia woke up feeling very strange. A loud banging on the door made her aware of a new day and she was surprised she had not heard her alarm. She stretched and yawned loudly. Her voice sounded different and she frowned. She looked down on her arms and noticed first that she was very very pale. She was pale before, because she was not the greatest fan of the sun, but this was taking it another level.

"What in the world," she mumbled. Her voice was still different and sounded oddly familiar. She did not have time to get out of bed as the door burst open and several planks of wood flew her way. She screamed and held her arms out in front of her. A strange sensation was felt in her body and then as no impact ever came she looked up and lowered her arms.

"Juvia, what the hell is going on! You have never forgotten a mission!"

Mia gaped. In front of her stood no other than Gajeel. The Gajeel.

Wait, Juvia? Mia thought shocked. A hand went automatically to her hair and she grabbed blue strands of hair. Her eyes widened and then she took in the room. It was so not her room. She was back at gaping and she had no idea of what to say.

Gajeel seemed to notice her shock and rolled his eyes. Why would she act so strange all of a sudden? Was she sick? The thought did not exactly last for long as Juvia seemed to run out of bed and past him. He barely turned and saw her look through each door in her own apartment until she found what she was looking for. The bathroom. The scent caught him first. It had slightly changed, as if she was another. She was no longer of only summer rain, but of a coming storm as well. He sniffed again and frowned. The rain woman had something going on. Sadly for him it did not take long before he heard her again. Whatever she had eaten the day before was coming up again and it made him grimace. Maybe she was sick after all?

"Rain woman!" he growled and knocked harshly on the door.

"Give me a minute!" Mia shouted and flushed. She wiped her mouth and stood in front of the mirror again. Her nightwear was off and she was staring at the guild mark in horror. She was not only in the world of Fairy Tail, if she was not dreaming of course, but she was in Phantom! The blue guild mark was on her thigh, just where Juvia's FT mark would later be.

That must mean the Phantom arc has yet to happen! she thought and stared wide-eyed at herself. Ok, calm down. This might just be temporarily. And if it's not, then I must make a decision. First of all. I need to get a friend. So far, Gajeel seems like the only one approachable. After that, there are some events I do not want to happen, while at the same time there is a lot I need to let happen. Ugh, this is so confusing!

"I'll get ready, just gimmie a min!" Mia shouted and looked at the clothes that were neatly folded on the counter beside the sink.

Gajeel's frown did not want to disappear. Juvia did certainly not speak like that. And soon enough the door opened and revealed a heavy breathing Juvia, who also looked a bit guilty. He narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms. She looked away. Yup, something was up.

"The mission," he said and held up the flyer in front of her.

"Oh, right! The mission!" she responded and took it out of his hands. She stared at it for a while and she seemed to pale more, if that was even possible.

"Cut the pretense. Yer not the rain woman," he finally said.

She swallowed and hugged herself. "That obvious, huh?"

He grabbed her by her throat and pushed her against the wall. "What did ya do with her?"

His voice was threatening and it made her tremble. However, considering she was in a new body and she did not know how to control her powers, she turned into water and fell through his grip. Soon she was a pool on the floor and panicking.

"Get yer act together!" Gajeel growled as the crying would not stop.

"I don't know how!" Mia cried.

Gajeel sighed. "First of all. Relax. Then think of gathering all your parts to become a solid body, or something like that."

Mia snorted. Or something like that? What was he? Ten? However, it seemed to do the trick, and soon she was back as Juvia. I forgot she had a water body, she thought and met Gajeel's eyes. He seemed ready to attack her again and hurriedly she held her hands up to stop him.

"Wait!" she yelled and he hesitated. It was enough. "I'm Bluesky!" she said and then cringed. She had just used the middle name she gave herself after turning eighteen.

Gajeel raised a brow, confused by her behavior, no doubt. "Bluesky?" he wondered.

"Mia Bluesky Star, of earth, from earth, not from here… or something." She had lost her grip again and outside the rain was pouring down. Connected to her mood.

"From earth?" he asked slowly.

"I'm not from Earth Land. I'm sort of from another dimension or something? But I don't know how I came to be here! Or where Juvia is for that sake! However, I do know that I did not die. Unless I had a heart attack at the age of twenty-two, that would be strange."

"Rambling," he stated.

"Oh, right."

The silence was killing them both. Neither had an idea of what to say to the other. It was just too strange for both of them.

So if this was a fanfiction that I read, then my soul would have travelled, true? Which means that maybe her soul and mine switched? Unless she actually died, but I do find that hard to believe.

"But yer the rain woman now, without knowing how to use her powers." He sighed and gained Mia's attention again.

"Right." Mia nodded.

"Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'll help you."

Mia gaped. He was going to help her? Gajeel. Gajeel later of Fairy Tail, of all people, was going to help her! She squealed and hugged him tight. It took him by surprise and before he could react, she let him go again.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you."

The rest of the day did not help much. There was a lot of talking to be done and they had a mission to do as well. It was a good thing Gajeel could easily do it alone. But because he and Juvia had been somewhat friends he had agreed to go with her. That was at least what he told Mia. No, she was no longer Mia. She was Juvia, and she had to act like it. Gajeel explained that in private, it was ok to act like herself, but in public, at least in front of guild members, she had to speak of herself like Juvia normally would. It was not going to be easy, and neither would the next month be. Not only had she been transported somewhere else, but she was back at being a teenager. With huge boobs. Ok, maybe they were just huge in her opinion, but they felt in the way as she was not used to move around with them. Her arms almost felt trapped and most of the time she was scowling. Gajeel however found it funny as she constantly complained about huge boobs, after all, he did not see the problem since girls usually wanted them even bigger.

"Speak for yourself," she had muttered and then had a little thought of how it would be if she could cut them off. Though she easily dismissed it. She could not ruin Juvia's body.

Juvia Bluesky Lockser. She refused to remove Bluesky, as that was a name that she wanted all the time. It was different. Special. She would be Juvia, when she got enough control, and she would act like her, except for some events. She would not stalk Gray like a crazy person. However, she would appear at the tower of heaven like supposed. Just how she still had to work out. Actually, it was a lot to work out. Especially the Phantom arc. How could she also convince Gajeel to be a little softer? How could she change both their futures for the better?

"Juvia. Juvia. Juvia!"

She snapped out of it and looked at Gajeel with wide-eyes. The mission was already over and Gajeel was determined to train her. On her own she was also eager to become stronger than the original Juvia and work even harder. Both she and Gajeel would have to, and maybe eventually she could open up to him.

On the way back they stopped to camp in the woods close to the mountains. Gajeel had not really said how long they would stay there, but a lot of training had to be done. The new Juvia had a lot to learn before going back, and even then they had to keep working on her.

In the start it was hard as he kept pushing her body and spirit. She was already broken from being in another body, let alone control it. But the physical was as important as the mental part. He kept her going and even at the hard times he motivated her, strangely enough. They seemed to fall into a comfortable friendship as they often talked. The Gajeel she met for real was a lot more different than what she had read and seen. She would share with him of her world. The things there, no magic. In return he would teach her about Earth Land. The magic world.

It took time, but it was all worth it, and eventually it was easier to control the rain that usually followed her. Her emotions were somehow lighter in the presence of Gajeel. They were close, or close enough, but that did not stop them from going at each other's throats. Gajeel would often sneak into her tent and sleep close to her because he liked her scent, however, he knew they were not mates, but the familiarity made her like family. Strangely enough she liked it. Of course after a while she almost wished they were mates, because then she would not have to worry about much, but then again, it would change a lot. No, she was content as it was and they became good friends. Best friends she dared to call them. In private he would call her Bluesky, as it was what she preferred, but all other times he would either call her rain woman or Juvia. It was ok, to keep up the act. Maybe the strangest of all was the first time she went to the guild.

Gajeel had prepared her after a month of absence and he barely spoke to the master before taking an S-class mission and dragged her out after him. No one were the wiser, and no one suspected them. They returned two months after that, she had become much more confident in herself and was ready. It did not seem to matter as no one truly spoke to her. Gajeel kept close and it seemed to stir the guilds curiosity, but it was easy for Gajeel to put on his hard skin and put them in their place.

It had been half a year and they were out again. The fire was burning great and there was no clouds near. The rain would stay away.

"Ya had to tell me something Bluesky?" Gajeel asked and she sucked in a deep breath.

"Yeah." She let it out and nodded to herself. "It is time I told you. After all, it is the least I can do as it concerns our futures."

Gajeel did not comment as he knew it was best to let her continue in silence.

"In my world it was a series called Fairy Tail. Based on the manga. Doesn't matter. It followed Lucy as she joined that guild and certain events. Eventually Phantom was hired by her father to bring her back. You did quite the damage. Juvia, some. However, she became distracted by an instant crush on one of the members." She snorted and Gajeel frowned. "Fairy Tail must win. Phantom must disband as supposed. And we will join a bit after. However, I do not want it to be exactly as the story goes and I hope I can prevent that." She met his eyes and a careful smile was gracing her lips.

"What are you saying?" he asked seriously.

"I have a plan. Which you need to be much nicer in."

"Yer kidding." He wrinkled his nose and glared at her.

She shook her head. "Nope."

"I'm listening."

So she briefly went over what she wanted to do and what she hoped for. Gajeel was not the same person after she had barged into his life. Well, her soul had.

She did not expect her dream after her return to her apartment. It was a room. A light room with one mirror in it. The room was oval shaped and the mirror stood in the middle. She stepped towards the mirror as Juvia, but the one she saw on the other side, was Mia. For a long time they both just stared at each other. Neither one of them had any words to say. It was not a reflection. On the other side of the mirror was her old room.

"Bluesky," Mia said.

"Juvia?" she asked and touched the glass.

Mia sighed and looked relieved. "I'm glad," she said and smiled.

"You are me now," she muttered and looked away.

"And you are me," Juvia said.

Her eyes shot up again and met hers. "It's strange to not hear you talk in 3rd person."

"Cornelia helped me."

"You told her."

Mia nodded. "Just as you told Gajeel."

"How do you know?" She was gaping.

"I dreamt it. I was worried."

"Do you know how we can get back?"

Mia looked away guilty.

"What?" she asked, feeling panic rise.

"We can't switch back. I am already soul bounded to this place."

"What do you mean?"

"When I found my happiness here I chose to stay and my soul got bound to this place without magic. Now you must do the same. You must find your true reason to stay. If it takes too long your soul will try to leave the body several times. In the end you will be a lost soul if you do not get bound."

"How do you know this?"

"It's hard to explain, but I just do. We won't be seeing each other again, Juvia Bluesky. Farewell."

"No!"

Mia disappeared from the mirror and she saw herself as Juvia. It was only a reflection now. She was left to stay in Earth Land. She had nothing to say in the matter, or she would become a lost soul.

The strange room disappeared as her mind became aware of the approaching morning. Soon everything was gone, nothing left, except the darkness.

Also the darkness seemed to disappear as light shone on her eyelids through her window. The sun was shining but it did not last long. Her mood was not great and soon she could hear the start of rain falling before she opened her eyes. It was not a great day to start.

"Juvia?" The banging would not stop.

"Give Juvia a minute Gajeel!" she hurriedly said, afraid that someone was with him.

"It's just me."

"Oh," she breathed and pulled a bathrobe around her. Then she went to unlock her door.

"What's troubling you?" he asked concerned when he came inside. He brushed right past her and headed straight for the kitchen.

She sighed and then pulled a small smile. Their routine had become quite pleasant and she followed after him, ready to make breakfast for both of them.

"It's raining." It was a statement and he followed her every move.

"That it is," she agreed and opened the fridge.

The chair he sat on scraped against the floor and soon arms surrounded her and startled her. She dropped the box in her hands and it fell to the floor. His head was against her neck and then he let go. He turned her around so she faced him and there was no way she could escape. Yes, it would be easier if they could be together, but a sibling relationship did not bother her.

She sighed again and bit her lower lip. "I had a dream. I met me. Uhm… former Juvia. Mia. She said that she is soul bounded to earth. She cannot return to Earth Land. I cannot leave Earth Land. I need to be soul bound as well. If not, I will eventually become a lost soul." Her voice was shaking at the end. "She would not even tell me what would make my soul bound!" Her sobbing started and he pulled her in for a brotherly hug. It was so easy. So easy to forget when she had him. So easy to forget how Gajeel was truly supposed to be. She had changed him, as much as he had changed her. She finished crying and wiped her tears. Feeling lighter she made them breakfast before they headed to the guild together. It did not take long before Gajeel was summoned to the master's office and she was left alone.

It seemed to take a long time and the element four was gathered at one table. All four in their own thoughts. The rain was pouring harshly outside and soon they were summoned as well.

It was as she feared. It was starting. The Phantom arc was in motion and she had to talk with Gajeel. Help him. It was the only way to make things right.

Together they left the guildhall with the master's eyes following them. He had noticed their close relationship and saw it as a good thing. They got a lot of work done, and both seemed to have grown stronger over the last half year. What brought in the change he could care less about, as long as it made his guild win the war.

She sat and listened to Gajeel as he filled her in at their favorite café. Then after a parting hug, they both knew what had to be done, and what soon would happen.

Tell me what you think :)
