So ya, I wrote this awhile back... but I kinda thought I should edit it! So, yeah carry on.
Juvia puffed her cheeks as she walked down the never-ending road, " Why does Juvia, have to go all by herself!" She mumbled, kicking the ground in front of her.
She pouted, remembering Mirajane's words, "Juvia are you looking for a new job?" She asked, Juvia still kept her forehead on the cool wood.
" Hey Juvia.. Juvia!" She called.
" Hm?" Juvia looked up , to see the clear ocean blue eyes. " Yes, Juvia is looking for a new job-" She slammed her head on the counter again, "but I wanted to go with Gray-Sama." She pulled her hands to her cheeks feeling a crimson face after only just saying his name.
" Well, he went on a job with Erza, Lucy, and Natsu... So, he won't be back for quite a while.." She laid her finger on her lip, a smile slid across her cheeks. " We got a new job request today, how about it?" She reach under the counter to pull out a creased paper, passing it over to Juvia, who simply glanced at it.
" Mira-San, I don't think I can go, I won't concentrate-" She was cut off.
" Juvia~, it say's they need an excellent mage; with water magic, c'mon how about it?" She had a smile on her face one only a model could master, reaching over she unfolded the paper.
" Still-" Juvia was yet again cut off.
" I was going to give it to Lucy because the reward is large, and she does have Aquarius.." She crossed her arms, "-Who know's she'd probably take Gray?" She teased Juvia, reaching for the paper.
" No! I'll take it, ummm…." She wiggled in her seat, at the thought of her love rival stealing time with her Gray.
Juvia hiked down the road, her destination a 3 day trip, or so she had estimated, "What a long walk." Juvia thought to herself. She pulled the poster from her pocket to her face reading it aloud, " Experienced mage needed." She slowed her pace, while reading. "Yep, know that, already." She thought. " Requires water magic..." She paused, "I wonder why?" She thought. " Must work with another already hired mage, huh?" She thought for another moment, " Well that's kinda weird... but I guess I'll just go... right, and finish it fast?" She folded it neatly, and put it in her blue bag. She placed it on her shoulder, and strolled along the dusty street.
Later that day, Juvia spotted a sign that pointed to a small village, Quwadville about a mile away, seeing the sun lowering over horizon, and that the weather was not on her side today, with a gust of wind she decided to spend a night in the cozy looking town. She walked to see a quiet rural town, a cabin labeled 'Hotel', with a handful of small stores, and miniature sized looking houses. She walked into the hotel, sighing at the warm air.
"Welcome to Quwadville, how may I help you?" A young girl with orange hair, asked her as she walked in.
" Juvia, would like to rent a room for the night." She asked, lips pursed.
" Yes, right this way." She pointed to a thin hallway," Third room on the right." She had a kind smile, which Juvia returned. Handing her the key, she made her way to her room, turning the lights on to a room that looked like it was meant for her; blue everything, the walls had waves which made her smile. She set her bag on the bed, and walked out the front steps of the cabin, waving the girl goodbye. She wanted to explore her surroundings, and to shop a little; she stayed on the left side of the road, looking into a small flower shop as she walked by. She peered through the window to see a rare species of water lilies, " Woah!" She thought, they were a pale blue hue that resembled her own eyes. "Wow, it's lovely... Juvia wonders if she could buy it for Gray-Sama!" She mustered.
She strolled in hearing a bell, "Welcome to Labrith Flower Shop," A smile from a long green headed women, her head tipped to a angle looking at her curiously, "-my name is Labrith, are you here alone?" She asked, moving away from a newly planted tree.
" Yes, I am on a job, my name is Juvia! I saw a lovely bunch of water lilies….ummmm…" She pointed to the blue bunch.
" Oh, are you a mage, perhaps?" She wiped her hand on her green apron, and scratched her head.
" Yes, Juvia is a mage, I have a new job, a couple of towns away." Juvia said, happy to find a topic.
" Oh, what guild do you work for?" Labirth walked over to a glass pot filled to the rim with water, the lovely batch of lilies sat floating on the top; she gently placed it on the counter.
"Well, I am a Fairy Tail mage, we just won the tournament a while back." Juvia pointed her finger as if making a point.
"The guild that was weak for the last seven years, huh?" She seemed to trail off a bit. " Are you buying this for anyone special?" She reached for a different bowl, placing it on the top.
"Well….Ummm…." Juvia face burnt red; she wiggled a little, "It's for me, I guess." Her face looked down, remembering where her Gray-Sama was.
"That's okay, I buy flowers all the time, and their always for me." She nodded her head back, and forth. " Plus, I bet you that he wouldn't notice." She began pouring water in the bowl, slowly almost breathtaking.
" Well, he didn't tell me he was going on a job." She said, to herself.
" See, not worth it." She placed her watering can down. She dipped her hands in the glass bowl placing her slender fingers under the plant, pulling it up gently to it's new home. " Anyways what the job?" She asked, getting a new flower.
" Well, Juvia doesn't really know, actually she's been wondering why she is even going?" Juvia said, looking at Labirth steady in process.
" Hmmm… Either way you're here aren't you, I don't mind; not a lot of people visit this town, it's just you." She said, thinking a bit. "Wait! No, I think someone else came here a little while ago, it's rare to see people here, so I try to remember."
" Not that it matters, really..." Juvia looked at her pot, it was completed. Smiling, she thanked Labirth, and gave her a nice tip for her conversation."Ughhh-" Her stomach growled. "Ugh, I'm hungry." She placed a hand on her stomach. She remembered seeing a cafe a little down the road, she walked slowly; she had her flowers in a hand, looking by she passed a cute toy store. "I'll go there later." She thought, with a smile. Entering the cafe to see people staring at her, she walked to the back and sat down in a small booth. Seeing a waiter coming to her, she looked up.
" Welcome, how may I take your order?" A young girl asked, handing her a menu.
"Ummm…" Looking at the girl she opened her mouth to say something, but her attention was caught when she saw a glimpse of white hair waking out of the cafe.
" Ma'am, are you okay?" Her attention was grabbed, looking at the waitress.
"I'll just have the chicken?" She hesitated a bit, " Yeah, the chicken!" She said, a little to excited. Juvia ate fast, so she could leave; everyone was watching her, staring really. After eating she paid fast, and left ( She ate like Natsu fast.). The sun had just set, the street lights switched on, and she saw that the toy store was still open. Smiling, she skipped her way down the road. She opened the door, seeing an old lady sleeping on the desk, " Umm… Juvia is here to look around?" She asked unsure. She poked around, to see that they had the new mini Gray-Sama doll, wearing only his pants, and Rufus's feathered hat. She almost squealed at the memory, she picked it up ready to buy it. Looking down, she saw that they had a mini Lyon-Sama, he wore nothing, but his underwear. She blushed a little, shocked at herself, " Hmmmm…" She plucked him up, walking to the desk,and placing them both down in front of a sleeping old lady. " Excuse me, I'd like to purchase this?" Juvia placed her bowl of flowers down, poking the old lady.
" Ha! Oh, a customer... Welcome to Quwadville Toy Stor-." She said smiling, her teeth came out, cutting her off. She slid her teeth back in; giving Juvia a twitch. "Hmmmm….. So you like mages?" The lady asked, half coughing, half laughing.
" No, just Gray-Sam-" She was cut off by the old women.
" But, that's not him." She pointed at the white haired, young man doll.
" Well, Juvia just.." Juvia just didn't know how to explain it, even she was confused. The old lady noticed, and ceased her taunting.
" It's okay, I'm just joking. Would you like a bag?" She asked, looking at Juvia.
"Yes, please." Juvia paid, pulling the bag over her shoulder so her bowl wouldn't tip, she left the store saying, " Bye." She walked out to the street, and saw that in the middle of the town there was a stunning fountain, it had pillars holding it up, a cream color, with a beautiful woman holding a vase, water slowly pouring. She walked over to get a better look; the water gently trickling, the sign read, " The Love Struck Water." Her face tilted, unsure what it meant; a heavy rustle came from the her behind her she glanded back to see a crowd forming. Wondering a bit she walked over to see a young man shouting at something. " Idiot." She scoffed.
" Look, you dumbass; apologize, and pay for my SHIRT?!" He shouted at a man, who Juvia couldn't see.
" No." Said a voice, Juvia recognized it, she tried to peer into the crowd only to be shoved out.
" Hmmm…I know that voice." She thought, " Who is it?" She couldn't let it go.
" Look pay up," Said the boy, " Or, I'll just have to take it from you!" The man formed a magic circle, a long fire whip formed. Juvia placed her bowl on the floor, pushing the people aside, she saw the boy leap ready to attack, she sprang in taking the hit from him, " What?!" The boy's hand went through her, like water.
" You shouldn't fight in a public street." She said, taking the boy's hand out of her.( Hahha... Sorry I'm childish.)
" Get outta my way, women!" He shouted, ready to strike her. His arm stopped frozen in place, the fire that covered his fist was now under a deep layer of ice, "Fuck!." He cursed.
" Are you even a man? You just tried to hit a lady..." He let out a scoff, " Who was saving your ass." A calm voice rang from behind her. Juvia cocked her head back, seeing black eyes that only could belong to Lyon Vastia, his white hair short like usual, but his face looked serious. Unlike before, he was unreadable.
" Lyon-Sama?" Juvia eyes widened recalling all the events, "It was him!" She thought.
" Juvia-Chan, could you please move? I have to teach him a lesson...In common sense." He said, pulling his hand back, he pulled off his coat tossing it to Juvia. She turned to puddle a of water moving out of Lyon's way,
" Lyon-Sama, please don't hurt him? He may be an idiot, but we should keep our cool." She said, standing off to the side.
He let out a sigh, thinking deeply, " Okay,-" He turned to look at the stunted man, " Today's your lucky day. I'll let you go. I hope you take it up to good use." Lyon took a step back to get his coat, Juvia stumbled, but passed over his white coat, "Juvia-Chan, let's go." He said walking to her side.
" Yes, Lyon-Sama." Juvia reached down to pick up her bowl, Lyon saw her bend, his face became red as a tomato. He coughed a little, giving away his frustration. "What happened Lyon-Sama?" Juvia asked, lifting her head in worry.
" Nothing, he pushed me, and wanted me to pay for his shirt that he ruined." Lyon pulled his hand to his head, scratching it. " I told him no, so he flipped out." Lyon said.
" Why are you here?" Juvia asked, pulling up her bowl.
" What do you mean?" Lyon asked, reaching his hand to her. " Here, I'll help." He pulled the bowl from her hand.
" Thank you, but why are you in this town?" Juvia asked, .
" Well, I got a job a few towns away, so I decided to stop here, and get some dinner, what about you?" He asked, avoiding her gleaming eyes.
" Me to." She said simply.
" Well, want to go get a coffe-e w-ith m-e?" He asked, scared of the outcome.
Juvia seemed to sense the tension, " Sure, I like coffe-e?" She said, teasing a little.
