At first I couldn't believe my eyes, it was him! I had finally found him! After 3 years of searching, I had lost all hope. He was sitting on a rock staring at an old, wooden, run-down cross with two names carved into the sides. It was half buried underneath the mountain snow, far from any sign of civilization.

"Kai!" I screamed in joy. He stood up, startled at my noisy yelling. "It's me, Julia!" I ran over to him, embracing him in a welcoming hug. I looked up at the confused man, as I realized that he wasn't who I was looking for.

"Who are you?" He slowly spoke, as if in a trance. I felt two hands clasp onto my shoulders, and push them away, forcing my body backwards. Completely unprepared for the shove, I fell onto my back.

"Oh. You're not Kai." Tears started welling in my eyes. He nodded his head. Staring into my eyes, a rush of confusion contorted his expression. His hand slowly rose, only to hit the front of his forehead.

"Juvia?" He studied me a bit longer before he turned in anger. "Sorry, Juvia. Not today." I pushed myself off the ground, and pulled his arm back.

"I'm not Juvia, I'm Julia. And why are you so sad?" He turned to face me, stopping to reach for my face. A firm hand gently cupped my lower cheek. He looked stunned, then the eased back into his sorrowful expression.

"Wow, you aren't Juvia." His hand flinched away, and he slowly retreated to his original spot. I chased after him, trying not to fall over in the snow.

"Wait! I'm looking for my friend Kai, can you help me?" I stopped paying attention to my footing, and more onto his reply. I fell onto his back, taking him down to the ground with me. We fell with a huge crash, with me landing on him. "I—I am so sorry!" I tried to get up, but slipped on some ice and fell down again. I could feel my cheeks getting warm. "I didn't mean to, I slipped and I fell, and..." He wrapped his fingers around my mouth, silencing me.

"Listen." He was looking to his right, silently looking for something. A girl was running up the hill. I could almost make out her features before I was pushed to the side. "Hide." He pointed to a rock just behind the cross. I obeyed, afraid to find out who this girl was.

"Gray, my dear!" She screamed. I peered out passed the corner of the rock and saw the girl. She was ME! I could hardly believe my eyes!

"Who are you?" I yelled, abandoning my hiding space. The man, now known as Gray, ran over to me in anger.

"Why would you do that? I told you to hide!" I looked at my feet, afraid to meet his gaze. The girl came over and grabbed Gray's arm.

"Who are you?" She angrily spat at me, squeezing tighter on Gray's arm.

"Juvia, go to the guild, I will talk to you later." He pried her hands off his arm, and pushed her back the way she came. At first she resisted, then finally gave up and listened.

"I will be waiting for you!" She yelled before running down the hill.

"Who was that, and why did she look like me?" I paced around the rock, trying to organize my thoughts. Some girl looks like me, almost has the same name as me, and seems that she is in love with the guy I tackled.

"Her name is Juvia. She is a water wizard, and apparently she looks like you." Gray shrugged. He had no clue what was going on either.

"A water wizard?! I am a water and ice dragon slayer!" I angrily sat on the huge rock and sulked. I didn't like the idea of there being a girl that is so similar to me! "Don't tell me, you're an ice wizard?" Sarcasm poured out of my mouth as if I were a sarcasm waterfall.

"Actually," His face turned red, and he fiddled with his fingers. "I am an ice wizard."

"What?!" I was done. I had heard enough. Somebody was copying me, and I didn't like it. "I'm leaving! It was very nice to meet you, Gray, and tell that Juvia girl I say bye too." I stood up, and started walking the way I came, the way that would lead me out of this place.

"Fire dragon roar!" Some annoying kid swooped over me, and shot a burst of flame from his mouth. I moved my arm up and pointed in his direction. The fire was immediately put out, and the reckless dragon slayer was caged up in ice. "Oy! How do you get out of here?" He screamed while punching the frozen bars with flame filled hands.

"You can't." I slowly stepped away from the loud noises, and continued on my path. A hand grabbed my arm, and pulled me back towards the rambunctious banging. It was Gray. He released my arm from his grasp as soon as we reached the cage.

"Let him go." Gray demanded with a slow, steady voice. "He may be crazy, stupid, and loud, but he is my friend, and I don't appreciate him being trapped in this cage of yours." I turned to face him. I could see that he was angry. But, where were his clothes? He had completely stripped down.

"I will let him go if you put on clothes!" I shielded my eyes. The caged up dragon was now distracted from his banging against the bars, and laughing his head off. "Please! Put on clothes, and you," I pointed at the laughing dragon slayer. "Stop laughing." Gray's face turned redder than a tomato as he ran off in search of clothes. A few minutes later, he came running back with a T-shirt and worn out jeans.

"Alright, now I have clothes on. You can let him go now." He pointed at the cage. "Do your magic." I turned, facing the impatient dragon slayer. I raised my arm again, but slowly pushed it towards the ground. The cage melted from the top to the bottom as it sunk into the snow, releasing the dragon slayer.

"You know, you're a pretty powerful wizard, FIGHT ME!" He came at me, fire smoking all around him.
