"To Fairy Tail" exclaimed a group of tipsy woman in Lucy Heartifilas living room.

Lucy Pov

Everyone had been working hard this past summer after the Grand Magic Games so the young mages had decided to organize a big get together to unwind. The boys where having a bonfire at Laxus Dryers while the girls where having a sleep over in Lucys home much to Lucys dismay she was actually looking forward to going to Laxuses home for the first time.

Juvias POV

"Juvia is Late!" muttered a pale blunette as she ran through the streets of Magnolia.

There was a slumber party at Lucys house and Juvia was really exited to have a girls night. She was in dire need to talk with a council of her female peers after her job with Gray last week. The water mage felt as though she would explode from keeping her emotions inside. On top of being late she was empty handed with nothing to give to the hostess.

Juvia may see Lucy as a love rival but despite that she cared and respected her guild mate and was trying to develop a more positive relationship with the bubbly blonde.

She spotted a convenience store on the way and bolted tward to score some snacks or a bottle of wine. As the summer was ending the days where becoming shorter again leaving the striking scarlet sunset to fade by the second making the brightly lit convenient store really stand out. Through the transparent doors she could see Gray, Lyon and Loke also buying last minute snacks for their party host.

'Should Juvia walk in? Should she just leave? Gosh Darn they can see Juvia through the glass doors cant back away now.' She entered the store trying her best to look nonchalant while all the people inside turned to look at the visibly distraught blunette.

Gray cooly motioned her twards him. "YO Ju-"

"Good ev-"

"Juvia-chan,what are you doing walking around this part of town alone at this hour" interjected Lyon dotingly

"UM well Juvia wa-"

"Juvia is strong she can walk in the worst neighborhood and the ruffians would be quaking in their boots" sneered Gray "Do not underestima-'

"We can walk you there if that would make you feel safer, Juvia" Loke interrupted.

Gray muttered something incoherent hoping to get Juvias attention.

'What was it with most men and interrupting her' she wondered, 'maybe Aquarius was right, Juvia should have more of an attitude'.

She looked over to see Gray biting his lip absentmindedly and fiddling with the change in his hand.

Juvia gave him a small smile while he stared at his shoes . 'Gray-sama is so elegant even doing the simplest of actions.' she fawned.

"Juvia you daydreaming again?" Asked Lyon giving her a sad smile, he knew they where not about him but maybe one day he hoped although he was aware his hopes seemed more improbable by the day.

"Whoops." She giggled covering her flushed cheeks cutely causing Lyon to swoon.

"Well that's cute and all but I really think it would be inappropriate for us to allow a young wom-"

"Loke-san, Juvia does not need an escort she can take care of herself like Gray-Sama said." She nodded to Gray casually which surprised him making him look away so that no one could see him blush... especially Lyon. " Also find a better excuse for crashing Lucys-sans slumber party for being an ageless cat spirit you are not all that clever." she said slyly.

Gray and Lyon bother snickered at the celestial spirit.

"Y- You caught me... I'm a Lion not a cat " He stuttered in shock but quickly recovered, "When did Juvia-chan get so feisty?" he purred raising his eyebrow at her.

"Loke-san!" she giggled "Stop distracting, Juvia is already late and she wants to pick a drink but doesn't know what to get!"

" I believe Lucy fancy's the local rainbow sakura wine in the pink bottle." he recalled.

"Thanks Loke! Juvia owes you one." she beamed and went to the back of the store where the alcohol was.

When she got back to the front to pay for the rainbow sakura wine the boys where heading out the clear doors with Lokes arm around Grays shoulders talking into his ear in a hushed tone with Lyon in the back waving shyly at the water mage as he stepped out the store.

'Lyon has actually become better mannered since the games.' Juvia thought.'Why is Loke out and about? Wait why is Lyon going to Laxuses home he is not a fairy tail mage? That sure was an odd group but they also seem to have a fun dynamic.'

Juvias mind was going a mile a minute imagining different scenarios .She was just too tired to be trying to calm down her rapid imagination with logic. She payed for the wine along with some cute white feather clips for Wendy that reminded Juvia of the first master she saw in a display.

Once she got out of the store she continued to dash to Lucys even surfing over the river with her magic.

When she entered the house it was full of light, music, warmth and a soft chatter. Erza, Lisanna, Mirajane and Bisca where chatting about a new clothing shop,Cana was arguing with Aquarius and Evergreen.

'Oh Aquariuses here' she thought exited even though shes kind of mean to most people her and Juvia hit it off in the spirit world party and had developed a close friendship.

Juvia continued to soak in the rooms environment before walking further in. Levy and Lucy where playing a puzzle on the coffee table , Laki was talking to Kinana, Wendy and Charla about how she builds home for the poor with her wood make magic in her spare time.

"JUVIA IS HERE!" Cana shouted raising her glass at her friend when she noticed her arrival.

Aquarius yelled across the room "JUVIA Come here and tell Cana that-"

"OH Shut up" Slurred Cana

Juvia and Wendy exchanged a fearful look and giggled at each others expressions.
