(A/N: Yeah, I'm really losing my sanity as I write this. But hey, I like experimentation. And I love crack pairings. So yay for crack pairings! Don't worry I'm still a Gruvia and Jerza fan. But I like fresh ideas and characters so here it is. Also, this is my first fairy tail fanfic so forgive me if some of the characters are quite OOC. Constructive criticisms are appreciated. And so flames. 'cause I'm a dragon slayer).

Chapter 1

When It Rains, It Pours

By: Aztec999

"HAS ANYONE OF YOU SEEN JUVIA YET?" Lucy asked worriedly as she looked at the heavy rain outside followed by a thunderstorm. She glanced at her friends then saw them shook their heads in unison. She sighed in defeat. Cana looked uncharacteristically clear-headed and somber. Natsu was staring plainly at the heavy rainfall outside the window. Mirajane was unusually quiet and serious as she cleans the glasses that were used by the customers a while ago. Master Makarov just looked contemplatively at the lovely scenery outside. While Erza just stared strangely at Gray. There was a blank and solemn look on her face. Lucy was getting worried and even more worried as each second had passed by. They already knew that the sudden surge of heavy rainfall was caused by none other than Juvia. But none of them knew why. She looked apprehensively at Gray.

Gray just looked outside. There was a stiff and stern expression on his face. However, Lucy cannot discern his thoughts. There was an unreadable expression on his face. She was getting perplexed and left out at the whole situation. She was certainly missing out something.

"Hey Gray, don't you even know where Juvia is? I mean, everyone knows that she certainly hangs out with you all the time." Lucy looked uneasily at Gray. However, he didn't respond to her. He continued to stare outside the window. She mentally sighed. She was getting nowhere.

"Oi stripper! Lucy just asked you a question! Are you deaf? You should know where your loyal partner is! I can't believe you're such a douche!" Natsu yelled. It wasn't even personal, just to make him respond to them.

"Natsu!" Lucy cast him a chiding look which he just ignored as always.

Normally, Gray would yell back and a fight would ensue. But Gray just looked at Natsu for a moment, briefly annoyed.

"Will you just shut up?"

He turned and walked towards the door outside.

"Where are you going?" Lucy asked in alarm.

"Outside." Gray replied tersely then left.

They momentarily stared at the spot where Gray had left. Each one of them had a worried look at their faces.

"I hope that you're doing that right thing Gray." Erza thought apprehensively.

JUVIA WALKED HAPHAZARDLY AROUND THE BLOCK as the tears continued to stream down her face. She was crying/laughing as she strolled around. She must be losing her mind. Her emotions were in uproar and so was the rain. She couldn't find the exact words to describe her agony at the moment. She completely understood that Gray was not obligated to return her feelings and as sure as hell that he hasn't any obligations to follow her little requests. But it still hurt like hell when he didn't appear on the dinner date she'd arranged for the two of them. It was like a hard slap on the face.

"Gary-sama! She waved cheerily and rushed towards him.

He was talking to someone when he turned to her.

He stopped talking at Lucy and looked nonchalantly at her. "Juvia." He said casually to her.

"Hello Juvia!" Lucy greeted her amiably.

Juvia felt a wave of jealousy and irritation surged through her when she saw whom he was talking to. But she tried to quash it. Now was not the time. She would make sure that she would achieve her goal this day with Gray. She greeted her seriously before turning to Gray. "Amh, Gray-sama would you like to accompany Juvia tomorrow night at the dinner she'd prepared?" Juvia asked shyly but there was an eagerness in her voice.

"Uh sure Juvia. Just tell me where and when." He replied nonchalantly before he turned to Lucy and began speaking to her again.

She didn't know if he was serious or not but she didn't mull it over. She was too happy to simply worry about such things.

"All right Gray-sama! I'll be expecting you there Gray-sama!" Juvia answered cheerfully.

But the evening came and he was still nowhere in sight.

She tried to brush off her worries and anxieties away and thought that Gray must be late.

However, 30 minutes had passed.

1 hour had passed.

2 hours had passed.

3 hours had passed.

And he wasn't still around.

Or rather, he never came.

It was like an indirect rejection to her.

She never drank alcohol in her whole life but right now she felt like she really needed it. She grabbed the bottle of whiskey that was set on the table and instantly gulped it.

And she grabbed another from the cooler. And another…..

And this is what had led her to her current condition right now.

She was downright intoxicated and she couldn't see straight and where the hell she was heading right now. She staggered behind and finally fell onto the ground with a thud.

GRAY GRIPPED HIS UMBRELLA TIGHTLY as he searched frantically for Juvia across the streets of Magnolia. Damn. He should know better than to jilt her invitation to him.

His eyes wandered desperately from all around the area. It was getting late and the heavy rain was making it more difficult for him to see her. Why the hell didn't he went there? Damn. He felt like a total jerk for leading her on. They wouldn't have reached a situation like this if he didn't act like a total asshole and coward towards her. He had known already her feelings towards him. She was very open and wasn't afraid to show her affections towards him. He on the other hand….. He shook his head in defeat. He'd didn't want to dwell on that thought right now. It makes him feel like a total idiot.

If he finds her tonight, he would really talk to her…no… they would really talk and settle the real score between the two of them.

A girl with a long, blue straight hair was walking at the opposite side of the street with an umbrella on her right hand. That looks like….

"Juvia!" he yelled but the rain was pouring heavily and she didn't seem to hear his voice so he rushed towards her.

He caught her wrist and tried to stop her.

"Juvia! I've been looking all over for—"he stopped midsentence when the girl faced him with a shocked expression on her face. He was also clearly surprised that it wasn't Juvia.

"Oh, uh, sorry about that. I thought that you're my missing friend." He quickly apologized and turned around a corner without waiting for the girl's response.

"Damn it Juvia. Where are you?" he thought in desperation.

HE WALKED CASUALLY ALONG THE STREETS IN MAGNOLIA with an umbrella in his left hand. He didn't expect that the rain this day would be so hard. But then again the weather was always unpredictable. As he continued to walk on, he suddenly noticed a woman sprawled on the ground.

He quickly rushed towards her direction and was completely surprised to see who it was. Wasn't she one of the former allies of the Phantom Lord? Was she called Juvia the Rainwoman? But she was a member of the Fairy Tail guild now. He vaguely remembered that he had seen her at the Grand Magic Games accompanied by the two ice mages from Fairy Tail and Lamia Scale. She was one of the most excellent and skillful water mages there.

But right now…. She looked… terrible.

He smelled liquor all over her. He sighed and then picked her up. The unconscious woman groaned but didn't protest further.

"Gray-sama….." she mumbled under her breath.

He smiled dryly. It looks like the rain isn't going to stop so soon.

THE BRIGHT RAYS OF THE SUN THAT REFLECT inside the window slowly reached up to the sleeping form of Juvia. The woman opened up her eyes blearily and woke up with a pounding head ache. Dear God, was this they called a hangover? She swore that she wouldn't touch any alcohol again. She continued to clutch at her head in misery.

That's the time when she studied her surroundings around her. Elegant chandeliers hanging above the ceiling, beautiful paintings that were suspended across the walls, a small but exquisite looking terrace nearby the window and an enormous waterbed that she was currently sleeping at the whole night. But an important question had emerged throughout her wandering thoughts: Whose bedroom was this? And….. Where was she anyway?

The last time she remembered was that she was almost crawling at the streets of Magnolia because of her inebriation. She had literally black out in the middle of a heavy rainfall. Who brought her here? As if quietly answering her confusing thoughts, a delicate silhouette of a shadow comes into view.

"Good morning Juvia. I'm glad that you're awake." A cool and gentle male voice had greeted her from the doorway.

She whipped her head around to see who it was but her jaw almost dropped onto the ground at the person she saw there.

"Y-you?" Juvia croaked out.
