"Juvia chan! Do you want to go on a jo-" I was cut off by Master Jose's voice echoing through the speakers that were placed throughout the room. "Lucy! Juvia! Gajeel! In my office, now!" I sighed. So much for that plan. Me and Juvia joined Gajeel on the path to the Master's office, and there was an eerie silence that seemed to surround us. "Do any of you guys have an idea of what Master Jose wants us for?" I asked, trying to break the silence. They both shrugged, and Juvia responded simply "Not really." The silence continued, until Gajeel spoke up. "Reminds you of when we met? Right?" I smiled. I remembered, all right.
-Flashback-
"Salamander-sama is really nice!" I giggled with a bunch of other girls.

"I know, right!" we giggled and talked some more, until he stepped up from his room

"SALAMANDER-SAMA!" we squealed. "You're so dreamy!" "You're so handsome!" girls squealed all around me. The squeals were cut off by a large crash that came from the deck of the ship.

"Bora. We have unfinished business." a tall man with with long spiky black hair announced, pointing a finger at him and giving him a death glare. It began pouring, startling many of the girls on the ship, who promptly began screaming at the weather change and strange man.

"Wait a second. Bora?" I wondered to myself.

"Master Jose wishes to... Speak with you." a woman with blue hair told Bora as she rose up from the water beside the yacht.

"Seriously? Trying to double cross Phantom? Yeah right. You couldn't possibly expect to get away alive." the man smirked. "So, as Jose's... Messengers, we are given the pleasure of delivering the punishment. The Master probably wouldn't care if we gave you the message before we handed you to him, so don't worry. If you don't learn your lesson from us, then you certainly will from him." he smirked again. "Hey, Juvia! Want to do the first blow?" he grinned and took a step back, already prepared for the fact that 'Juvia' would accept his offer.

"Juvia would not mind, Gajeel-kun." she replied, stepping forward. "Water lock!" she exclaimed. As she spoke, a large bubble of water surrounded Bora and suspended him midair, causing all of the girls to shriek in alarm.

"Salamander-sama!" they screamed, strecthing their arms out to the bubble hoping to release their idol.

"Shut up!" I exclaimed, finally fed up with their stupid fantasizing over an illegal slave smuggler. "He was trying to kidnap you all, so stop your pitiful attempts-which aren't going to do anything- to help Bora and shut up!" I shouted, whacking several of them with my whip. Gajeel raised an eyebrow.

"So one of you actually understands who this idiot is? 'Bout time." he crossed his arms and smirked at me before turning back around to face Bora and Juvia again. I frowned and put my hands on my hips.

"Who are these people, anyways? Acting like they wouldn't have been affected if they were in my shoes... Well, they might have been able to, but still! That guy shouldn't be so critical of others! ' 'Bout time'? Who does he think he is?" I fumed. However, as I put my hands on my hips, I accidentally jingled my keys, making Gajeel freeze up midway through the punch that he was about to give Bora.

"Keys? So you're the mage we're supposed to capture, huh?" Gajeel suddenly eyed me very carefully, as though I would run away any second.

"She is blonde and she does have brown eyes." Juvia remarked. "It could very likely be her. Juvia doesn't think that there are many othe celestial mages with that appearance."

"Alright! Knockin' out two birds with one stone. Okay then." he grabbed Bora's neck and gripped it tightly until he passed out, then approached me, cornering me by the edge of the yacht.

"G-get away from me!" I whacked away his outstretched hand and glared at him.

"Ooh, fiesty!" he made this weird sort of chuckle that sounded sort of like 'Gihee!' and, against my will, manuevered me away from the edge and instead against a wall, where he pinned me with one of his hands while the other cupped my chin. Disgusting. "Just the way I like them."

"Gajeel. Remain true to the objective." Juvia scolded in a plain tone, whacking him with her umbrella handle. "Kill her and let's leave."
