Chapter 1 – Juvia, the new maid.

"Juvia! Wake up! We're late!"

"Unh..." Juvia moaned, attempting to sit up, glancing at the clock, which was a mistake because her eyes almost jumped out of its sockets. "JUVI-!" She exclaimed, jumping up. Today was her first day, and she didn't want to be late. She wanted everyone to have a good impression on her. She ran to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face, and then she put her frilly, short maid uniform on and adjusted her black wig. Her hair is actually blue, but she puts on a black wig to hide her hair. If everyone found out that she had blue hair, she wouldn't be able to bear the teasing and name calling.

"Come on, Juvia!" Can yelled, grabbing Juvia by the arm and dragging her out of the room. "If we don't reach there in time, Karen might fire us!"

Juvia blinked. "Huh? Who's Karen?" She asked curiously. Juvia is a newcomer at the Fullbusters' mansion, and doesn't know anything about the mansion, or the maids.

Cana scowled. "She's the bitchy head maid of the West Wing. I hate her, and I'm pretty sure she's not very fond of me either." She spat with malice.

"You're late, Cana. You too, new-comer." A green-haired woman stated, her hands on her hips. "Cana, your salary will be cut in half and you can't have any dinner for a week." She turned to Juvia. "As for you, you can't have any lunch today, and the day after."

Juvia's jaw dropped, and not because of her punishment, but because of Cana's punishment. Her salary was cut in half and she won't have any dinner for a week? Is this how Karen punishes maids?

Juvia opened her mouth to argue, but Cana stopped her. "You'd better not get into fights with her. She won't hesitate to fire you, even if you're a rookie." She advised, then she smiled. "I'll show you around after breakfast. I have permission from Ur-sama."

"This is Gray, Ur-sama's son's room. He went out with his mother and brother now, so we can open the door." Cana said, standing in front of a huge room with a huge king-sized bed and blue walls. They had just eaten their breakfast and Cana was showing Juvia around.

Juvia's eyes widened. "Wow! Juvia likes this room very much!" She exclaimed, clapping her hands like a small child. She was not used to seeing huge rooms like this as she lived in a small house with her father.

Cana chuckled at her friend's actions. "Ur-sama's room is more impressive. Lyon-san's room is also good." She said.

Then, they walked to the room nearby. "This is Lyon, Ur-sama's older son's room." Cana explained.

Juvia's eyes sparkled again. "Juvia likes this room too!"

Cana smiled. "You like the color blue, eh? Ur-sama and her sons also like that color." She noted. "Ok," She began. "Now let's go to the last room in the mansion, Ur-sama's room. Your eyes will definitely pop out. "

They had visited a lot of rooms, and most of them were guest rooms. Cana wanted to show Juvia the family members' rooms later, to hold suspense. "This is Ur-sama's room. Impressive, isn't it?"

This time, Juvia's eyes popped out. The room was even larger than Gray's and Lyon's rooms. The walls were an aquamarine blue, so were the bed sheets. There was a balcony overlooking the lawn, and the room was air conditioned.

Cana smirked. "Told you so." She glanced at the clock. "Oh, it's 8:00 am. It's time to check the request board for the job assigned to us." She said.

"Hmm..." The brunette hummed, scanning the bulletin' board for the job assigned to them. "I have to weed the garden." Cana said, then turned to Juvia. "Your number is 219, so you have to..." She searched the board for Juvia's job. "'Clean Gray-sama's room.'" She read.

"Oh. When does Juvia have to start?" The bluenette asked, peering over Cana's shoulder to read.

"At 10:00 am." She replied. "I have to start now, at 8:15."

Juvia's face fell. She didn't want Cana to go, and she didn't like the other maids. They were throwing dirty looks at her, and she felt quite uncomfortable. "Well, then. Goodbye, Cana-chan!" She exclaimed, waving good bye to her friend who waved back.

¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸, ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,

Juvia jumped when the grand clock rang, indicating that it's 10:00 am. She grabbed a cloth and a broom and ran up the stairs, as she didn't want to be late. She knocked on the door for the occupant to open the door. She frowned slightly when the door didn't open. She knocked again.

Her heart leaped when the door opened. Standing there was a raven-haired boy wearing nothing but a towel around his waist. Water was dripping from his spiky hair, which made him look somewhat like a model.

She blushed crimson, her eyes wide. She was not used to seeing good-looking guys half-naked, and was certainly not used to seeing a well-built chest right in front of her. "JUVI-" She yelped, running inside the room.

The boy frowned slightly, confused by the maid's actions. The maids in the mansion were used to seeing him half-naked, then why was she acting so flustered?

Juvia bowed her head, trying to calm her racing heart. 'What's happening to Juvia? Why is she having this feeling?' She asked herself, taking her cloth out and rubbing the windows.

"Are you new?" Gray asked the frantic maid.

"Y-yes." She stammered a reply, rubbing the same spot over and over again. She peeked over her shoulder to see what the raven-haired boy was doing.

He was lying down on his bed, looking at her. She blushed again when his midnight eyes met her aqua ones. 'Calm down, Juvia. Just focus on doing your work!' She told herself, still rubbing the window.

"Are you aware that you've been rubbing the same spot for more than five minutes now, and that it's starting to get scratches?"

Juvia froze and looked at the spot. The glass over there had some scratched there due to her rubbing with her nails instead of the cloth. She yelped and turned around. "G-gomen, Gray-sama!" She apologized, bowing her head.

Gray laughed slightly at the girl's actions. "What's your name?" He asked, interested in the girl.

"J-Juvia." She replied, still bowing her head. "If you'll excuse Juvia, she wants to clean the windows now." She said, turning to clean the windows as she tried to hide her red face. After cleaning the windows, she took the broom and cleaned the room, looking away from the handsome ebony-haired boy.

After cleaning the room, she walked out, avoiding Gray's curious gaze. "JU-" She yelped as she tripped on her way out. She squeezed her eyes shut, expecting pain. She slowly opened her eyes when she didn't feel her back hitting the floor. "Huh?" She asked, confused, when her blue eyes met ebony ones.

The boy smirked at her. "Better be careful from now onwards." He stated, his hand snaked around her petite waist.

Juvia blinked before blushing. "JUVI-!" She yelped, unable to move.

The platinum-haired boy frowned. What's up with that kind of reaction? And what does 'JUVI-' mean?

Juvia, on the other hand was blushing madly, twiddling her fingers. "Um... Arigatou, L-Lyon-sama..." She stammered, feeling hot. 'Juvia, what is wrong with you?' She inwardly asked herself. "A-ano, can you let go of Juvia's waist?" She asked meekly.

Lyon blinked. "Oh, sorry." He said, letting go of her.

Gray narrowed his eyes. 'You don't seem very sorry.' He thought. 'Eh? Why am I jealous?'

"I-if you'll excuse Juvia, she has to go. Good bye!" She said, running off.

Lyon grinned at her running figure. "Interesting one." He said. "Pretty too. Right, Gray?" He turned to his brother.

Gray just nodded his head. "Yeah." He replied.

Lyon smirked. "I don't know why, but I look forward to meeting her again." He said.

"Me too." Gray accidently replied. 'Wha-'
