It was beautiful day outside, the sun was out, the trees had beautiful pink blossoms growing on them and the town markets were booming with people. Oh how Juvia loved the springtime. She was on her way to the guild to look for a job and to see her friends, even though deep down she was mostly there to see her crush Gray. In the beginning of their friendship he swore to her the he didn't have romantic feelings for and even rejected her but at the end of the day he still went along with her crazy love antics. But recently she could tell that she was growing on him. She could see the Fairy Tail sign down the street which meant she was close. She began to hum and swing her arms while she walked without noticing, her mind was in outer space. She was thinking about a whole bunch of things like weddings, shopping, Gray, food, money, Gray, babies, Gray and a whole lot more Gray. She blushed pulling herself out of her thoughts. She was in front of the Fairy Tail building, she closed her eyes and took a breath then smiled. Pushing the door opened she said greeted everybody with a good morning everybody looked at her and smiled waving back or saying good morning. She looked around for her friends, Lucy and Natsu wasn't there. "They must be on a mission." She thought. Erza was at the bar talking to Master while Mira was serving Cana a drink. Juvia scanned the room again, where was Gray? She began to imagine Gary on a mission with Natsu and Lucy but stopped herself because she was not going to stress herself out. She walked over to the Job board and searched for a job, she was trying to find a job that was a bit on the easy side and paid a good amount. She wasn't in the mood to do a complex mission she just wanted to get some money in her pocket so she could go shopping. The door opened and she turned to see Gajeel standing in the doorway scanning the room. His eyes locked onto Juvia's she turned back to the board and he made his way over to her.

"Hey." He greeted leaning his back against the board and crossing his arms. He didn't look at her when he did.

"Hey." She greeted back not taking her eyes off the board. He looked at her and snarled.

"You know I picked a job for the both of us to go on and you didn't even show up?" She looked at him eyes wide her with a hint of red spreading across her face.

"Juvia is so sorry she was not aware of this!" She really didn't know but she felt bad anyway. He turned his head forward and shrugged his shoulders.

"Whatever, it wasn't a big deal I just wanted to let you know." She turned back to the board and pouted she still felt bad. Her face lit up then turned towards Gajeel.

"I know, Juvia will find a job for the two of us to make up for it!" Gajeel shrugged his shoulders again still not looking at her.

"Sure I don't care." He did a little. Juvia was his closet friend in the guild he liked spending time her but he wouldn't let her know that. She scanned the papers then snatched one off the board.

"How about this one?" She asked holding the paper in his face. He squinted his eyes to read it better. The job said there was a sand monster terrorizing a beach he never heard of down south.

"A sand monster? This should be easy plus it's fair pay." He thought to himself. He inwardly smirked before nodding his head in approval. He took the paper from her and turned to the direction of the door. "Come on let's get out of here." He turned to her and said. She nodded and followed behind him.

"Mira were leaving for a job it should only take four days at the most!" Juvia called before leaving.

"Okay be safe!" She responded and with that Juvia and Gajeel were off.


Gray opened his eyes and sat up examining his surroundings. It had to be around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. He was home in bed just waking up after sleeping in which was unusual for him. He was normally up around 7 in the morning so why did he wake up late today? Then he remembered he just got back from a week long mission that completely worn him out. He got out of bed to get ready for what was left of the day. When he finished he made his way over to his door but before he left out he turned around and observed his apartment. It was quiet, bland and basically empty. His house consisted of the basic necessities that a house would need. Like a dinner table, couch, bed, etc. But he never had anything that was used for decoration. In the beginning he didn't really mind it because the place was just for sleeping and eating but now he hates it. He also hates the silence it reminds him that he's alone. He never had a problem with being alone before but now it's bothersome. He sighed then turned around to leave.

On way to the guild Gray was in his thoughts. He thought about his future and who was going to be apart of it. He wondered if he was going to have a special someone to spend his time wi-. Wait a second, why was the almighty Gray Fullbuster thinking about love? A shade of red spread across his face from embarrassment even though he was alone. But it was a good question, who was going to be his special someone? His thoughts went to Lucy. Lucy was a beautiful girl with a chest that Grey love to get his hands on. She was a sweet and determined girl who was up for anything. But Gray couldn't see himself with her, maybe a one nightstand but no relationship. Plus he thought she had a thing for Natsu. Next was Mira. Mira was also a sweet girl with a smile that could brighten a dark room. But Gray saw her as a older sister. Next was Erza. Erza again like Mira was more of a sister to him than a love interest.

"Gray-sama!" He looked around until his eyes landed on Juvia and Gajeel walking on the other side of the street. She was waving at him eyes closed with a big smile. Gajeel was next to her with his arms crossed. He didn't have time for this they had a mission to do. Gray waved back the blush on his face deepened in color, he looked away so they couldn't see.

"Come on Juvia." Gajeel grabbed her wrist and began pulling her. Gray watched them make their way down the street then out of sight. He let out a sigh, Juvia was also on his mental list of lovers. Even though she seems to be obsessive and possessive which made him uncomfortable at times. But she was still caring and was always by his side which he liked, and when they were alone together she was much calmer. Could Juvia be the one? Gray did feel something for her, something more than a friend but he wasn't sure if it was love. He let out a frustrated sigh, why was he even thinking about this? He took a deep breath then looked up at the sky, it was cloudless with a blue that reminded him of the ocean. "Ocean...water." He thought to himself. Visions of waves crashing together, tears and rain popped up. Then images of the water mage appeared, pictures of her smiling and blushing made his face get redder.

"Juvia." The named slipped out of his mouth before he could stop it.


Juvia watched Gajeel as he struggled to keep himself from vomiting. They were on the train on the way to the beach in the south, normally Juvia found Gajeel's motion sickness to be funny but today she was a little nervous, something about this job didn't sit right with her.

"Do you think it's weird that we never heard of this beach until now?" She asked but Gajeel was to busy focusing on his motion sickness to answer. "I mean we've been all over this continent and we've never heard of this beach, something isn't right." She wasn't even talking to him anymore she was just thing out loud. Just then a wave of paranoia washed over her she looked scanned the car she was in for any suspicious people or behaviors but she didn't see anything. She shrugged and relaxed a little bit in her seat.

"I guess we don't have anything to worry about for now." She didn't notice the man across the row starring at her. He was a pale man with a fairly muscular build like Gajeel's and a tattoo of two purple diamonds connected to each other on his left cheek. He was baled with to ponytails which were brown with blue streaks one on the top of his head and one on the back his head. He had blue eyes and his lips were really chapped. He wore a green shirt that was two sizes to big with ripped jeans and a pair of brown boots. the pant legs were tucked in. He licked his lips then up and made his way over to her.

"Excuse me Miss," Juvia was startled by the sudden voice she looked up to see a man who was almost hovering over her. "I happen to overhear your conversation, is this your first time visiting Verona Beach?" She was reluctant to answer at first but she came around.

"Y-yes it is."

"Oh wow, you're gonna love it it's a beautiful beach with wonderful historical sites." Juvia nodded to let him know she was interested in what he was saying. "Oh I almost forgot! Pardon my manners I'm Derwin." He put his hand out for a handshake.

"Nice to meet you Derwin," She took his hand and shook it. "I'm Juvia and this my partner Gajeel." She gestured to the man sitting across from her. He gave a quick wave to Derwin before covering his mouth.

"What's wrong with him?"

"Oh it's his motion sickness, he doesn't do well on moving objects." Juvia explained. Derwin could only give slow nod.

"Oh okay. Well I was born and raised in Verona Beach, my dad owns a motel there. If you want I could hook you up with a room and be a guide for you for the rest of your stay." Juvia's face brightened up.

"That sounds perfect! How about it Gajeel?" Derwin looked at him. Gajeel wanted to protest but if he opened up his mouth he would vomit. Juvia looked back at Derwin. "Sounds like a plan."

"Great, Let me just contact my dad and tell him your coming so he can prepare your room and since you're acquaintances of mine you'll only have to pay half the price!"

"Thank you!" She yelled when he walked off into another car.

As soon as he was in the next car he pulled out his lacrima phone and dialed.

"Hello?" The person on the other end spoke.

"Hey boss it's me, Derwin."

"Derwin! What's going on?" Derwin looked around to see if anybody was listening before responding, there was hardly anybody on that car and the few people on there were either asleep or having a conversation of their own.

"I found me a couple of fairies." He whispered. His boss was quiet for a moment.

"Who?"

"Iron Dragon Slayer Gajeel Redfox and Water Mage Juvia Lockser."

"What!" His scream was so loud that Derwin almost dropped the lacrima phone. "This is amazing!"

"I know right, they must be on their way to respond that fake job you put out."

"I'm such a genius." His boss said to himself. He finally done it, he finally was going to kill some fairies. He always hated Fairy Tail, he hated how everywhere they went they caused destruction. Fairy Tail was the reason why his old home was destroyed he then had to move to move to Verona and open up a motel that barely met ends meet. Well not like he was barely making money, he was middle class and made a good mount. But in his old town he was rich, he was able to buy anything he desired because his father left him a big inheritance. But he didn't know how to managed it so he blew through a lot of it so when his house was destroyed he didn't have enough to repair it. So he took the rest, moved to Verona and used it to open up a motel and he swore that he would get his revenge on Fairy Tail.

"So what's the plan?" Derwin asked. His boss had to think about it he never thought he would get this far and he definitely never thought he would catch a couple of strong mages like them.

"I actually how no idea." He admitted. There was silence between them as they thought of a plan.

"I've got it!" Derwin began. "Why don't we destroy Fairy Tail from the inside?" He suggested.

"That's actually not a bad idea, but how do we do that?" Derwin turned around to the car door and looked through the small window. His eyes were glued on the Water Mage and examining her features. He licked his lips before answering.

"Just leave that to me."
