Cold. Why is earth so cold? And it's dark. No... Wait. My eyes are just closed. Opening her eyes, she sees a world of white. White like clouds. What am I doing here? I can't remember. No, I have vague memories. Where? Where are the others? They should be here. But I'm cold.
"Hey! Are you alright?" Looking up, a black haired man stood there. She couldn't make out anything except for the distinct black hair against the soft white snow. It was then that she realized how weak she felt. She couldn't say nor do anything so she let the darkness take over.
Waking up it was warm. Something soft was around her. She pulled it closer. She soon realized she wasn't in the place of white anymore. She didn't see the black haired man either. Sitting up, she looks around. She was on a weird box, but it was comfy. There were other things of various shapes and sizes that she didn't know what they were. She tried getting off of the box, except her feet tangled in the soft things and she fell to the ground. Last time she checked the ground wasn't made from these weird brown things. She stayed in her weird position, the upper half of her body on the weird ground and the lower half on the raised box, and observed the strange, tree-like patterns on the strange ground. If she didn't know better she would say the ground was made of trees. A few moments later the rectangle on the wall burst open.
"Hey! Are you alright?!" The black haired man came from the rectangle. He stares at her on the ground while she stares back at him. There was silence between them. Then finally she spoke up.
"What's wrong with the ground?"
"Huh?"
"The ground. What's wrong with it?"
"Uh... Nothing's wrong with it."
"Yes there is! Look! It's hard and looks like it's made of trees!"
"Are you kidding me?"
"No."
"It's made of wood."
"So it is made of trees!"
"Are you crazy?" She shakes her head. "Ok, Ok. I'm just gonna calm down for a second. What's your name?"
"Juvia's name is Juvia Loxar." She responds.
"Ok Juvia, are you gonna tell me what you were doing in the forest?"
"Shouldn't Juvia's savior tell her his name first?"
"Um, right. Gray, Gray Fullbuster." He puts out his hand. Juvia looks at it quizzically.
"What is Gray-sama doing with his hand?"
"Ok, one it's called a handshake. Two, are you sure you're not crazy? Three, why are you talking in third person. And finally Gray-sama?"
"Juvia is not crazy and she just talks this way. Juvia believes since Gray-sama took away the cold she should give him a big title."
"Alright then..." Gray looks at skeptically. This woman must really be crazy. "So Juvia, where are you from?" Juvia thinks for a moment.
"Juvia doesn't know." She stated matter-of-factually.
"Um, do you remember anybody? Any family? Any friends?" At each Juvia shakes her head. "Do you know how you got in the forest?" Juvia thinks a moment.
"Juvia fell."
"Fell? Fell from where?"
"Juvia doesn't know. She just fell from high up. Then Juvia saw white and was cold then saw Gray-sama."
"So I guess you have amnesia?"
"Juvia thinks so." Juvia nods, then thinks a moment. "What's amnesia?" Gray groans. It's barely been ten minutes and this girl was driving him up the wall.
"Amnesia is when you lose some or all of your memory. I'm no expert, but seeing how you don't know what wood floors or a handshake is, I'm pretty sure you have it."
"Then Juvia has amnesia!" Juvia chirps.
"That's a bad thing." Gray rolls his eyes.
"Juvia has amnesia?!" She sounded shocked. Gray face palms.
"Know what, you must be hungry. Want some food?" Juvia perks up.
"Yes please!"
"Fine just wait here," Gray stops based on her behavior she'd probably literally stand there until he got back. "Or go lie down on the bed."
"Bed?"
"That thing!" He points to the bed she had been laying on. Juvia looks at the bed then back at him.
"You mean the comfy rectangle?"
"Yes!" Gray groans.
"What is this delicious food?!" Juvia looked as if she was worshiping the plate of soft gold disks dressed in a golden sauce.
"They're called pancakes. Usually you have them for breakfast, but they were the only thing on-hand."
"They're delicious! Juvia want to eat them every day!" Gray laughs at the girl. She may be annoying, but she is pretty funny.
"You'll get fat if you do that."
"Fat?! Juvia doesn't want to get fat!" If she didn't have amnesia, then maybe she would've been a typical girl.
"So do you remember how old you are?" Juvia looks up from her pancakes and thinks a moment.
"Juvia thinks she's seventeen."
"Seventeen, huh? Just a little younger than me."
"How old is Gray-sama?"
"Eighteen. I'm a senior in high school."
"High school?" Juvia tilts her head.
"School is where people go to learn things." Juvia makes an 'O' with her mouth while nodding. "That reminds me, I need to go in tomorrow. Jeez, I'm gonna be in so much trouble."
"Gray-sama will get in trouble? Why?"
"You see, attendance is a mandatory thing. And today I got mad at a teacher and stormed out. That's a big no-no at school. Although that's kind of how I found you."
"But if Gray-sama explains himself then maybe the school will understand!" Gray stares at her for a minute.
"You really don't know anything, do you?"
"Juvia has the amnesia thing."
"For some reason I don't think it's just the amnesia." Juvia tilts her head. "Never mind. Just eat your pancakes." Juvia gives him a concerned expression before gleefully biting into her pancakes.
"Juvia will never be mad at Gray-sama." Juvia says with a mouthful of pancakes.
"Don't talk with food in your mouth." Gray tries to suppress a smile. It was in that moment that he realized, she would be staying for a long time. And if he knew what he had in store for him, perhaps he would've kicked her out right then and there.
