Blue Skies Without Gray Clouds/Jilykindom3027

Chapter 1

Gray Fullbuster set on the edge of a fountain in the entrance village to the kingdom's western region Foss. Gray stared at the golden cotton's bag in his hands that Mary and Emalie give him. They said that the cotton worth enough money for food and a train ticket to 'Magnolia' the city where 'Fairy tail' is, the guild that Gildarts talk about it. Sitting where he understands that he lost and didn't know where to go. He starts talking to himself. "fuck. I'm lost." gray sigh.
"where the hell is the fabric shop? goddamnit!" He shouts in frustration. He leaned back and almost fall to the fountain and wet his cotton. "Yikes..! gotta be careful of the water!"
Gray sigh in desperation "I'm hungry too. I've got to hurry up and sell this so I can get something to eat."
In the same second the clouds turn to dark gray and rain started pouring on the ground. Gray wasn't sensitive to cold and rain, but the cotton was. "fuuuuuuu...! Rain...!?" Gray shouted in genuine surprise.
Gray hurried to take cover before the cotton ruins.
When he stood under the small roof for cover with more people that run for cover from the rain, Gray complain about the sudden rain that ruins his plans a thief snatched his cotton and ran away.
"Uhh wait! My gold cotton!" Gray called after him, but the thief didn't stop.
Gray bring his hands close and shout "Ice Make: Hummer!". A giant hummer landed on the thief and stopped him. All the stuff he stalls scatter on the pavement but Gray's cotton ruined.
"I told you to wait, you piece of a shit thief!" Gray called.
He sews his ruined cotton and starts to wonder what he can do for earning money.
"Ah! Master! We found him!" Gray saw someone calling, and a tall blonde man approaches him. He comes under the small roof Gray stood under while the rain still falls and made a sound of 'tip tap' as he reached the floor.
"You're a one that stops the thief?" the man asks, and Gray nodded. "He stole my wallet too, and I have more important things in it than money. I thought my daughter picture was gone. Thank you. I can I do anything for you?" the man showed him the picture of a girl in his age with blonde hair and big brown eyes.
Gray smile to the man. His generous offer will save Gray.
"I am on my way to Magnolia. I was planning to sell a golden cotton, but she ruined because the thief and I stayed without money for food and train ticket." Gray explained his situation and the man nodded in understanding. "take 20 thousand jewels, which need be enough for food and train ticket." he handed gray the money.
"thank you, sir" Gray bow to the ma. The man looked at him with soft eyes. "No, thank you, boy." He said and walked away with his servants.
Gray put the money in safe place and started to walk in the still pouring rain. Gray walk in the street until that comes cross a present box on the pavement. He lifts her and scrutinizes her. She looked extremely submerging with her pink wrapping paper and yellow dots and red ribbon.
"Give that back to Juvia!" He hears a young yet feminine voice call out. He turned around and saw a girl running to him. She wears unusual clothes, a coat and long sleeve dress made of blue fur and a matching hat and holds a pink umbrella with a red hearts on it.
Even her hair was unusual, blue color that was straight until the end which was curled in the end. Gray looked at her confused and then on the box and again on her.
The box was her, he understands and throws her the box, and she catches it easily. He was impressed.
" I didn't steal this. I just found it on the pavement a moment ago." Gray said for clarification and put his hands in his pockets.
The rain stopped at once when the girl smiled.
"Juvia though she lost her uncle present. Juvia is grateful to you." She bows to him, and Gray felt flattered.
"Welcome." He replied. Despite the fact that Gray was new to magic he still can feel the magic going from her and feeding the dark gray clouds above her.
"You're the cause of the rain, right?" He asks curiosity. She starts to panic "Juvia is sorry for the rain. Juvia can't control it!" She called out loud to him. And the gray clouds in the sky become darker.
"Don't be sad! I don't blame you for the rain. It's just I didn't meet someone like you before." Gray said quickly and smiled to her. The clouds become lighter and brighter. Juvia comes closer so they can talk easily, and he could see her blue eyes pop out against her light skin. "rain is Juvia's company from the day she born." she said in sadness, but Gray looked at her in amazement.
"You were that powerful as a baby?" He asks, and the impression was in his voice. Juvia blushed and smiled brightly. "Juvia never thought about it like that." Gray looked at her like she is strange for think otherwise. "what did you think?" He asks concerned.
"Juvia thought she is sad and depressed. Just like everyone thinks of her." She said in a small voice. Gray watched the sky become dark again. "Listen to me. You're just powerful. You're a magician, right?" Gray said factually. Gray felt like he flowed her with questions, but she is interesting, very comes to answer, but then she called in surprise "your clothes!". All Gray says was "shit, I will be right back."
He found his clothes quickly and run fast to stand in the same place but with a sad expression on her face. "I'm back" He called to her. She smiles at him, and the clouds become lighter opposed to the clouds from before. He realizes that the happier she will be the weather would be good. "Juvia wonder why you come back?" She asks and instead of answering Gray ask her a question. "why I wouldn't come back?"
"All the other kids don't want to be around Juvia because she brings the rain." She said in a quiet voice just above a whisper.
"It doesn't rain now." He said, and see a small smile sneak to her lips.
Juvia closed the umbrella, and Gray's stomach growled. "I'm starved!" Gray complain.
Juvia laughed, "Juvia knows a good restaurant, you want to go there? Juvia does not know your name. " She looked at the gift in her hands shyly.
"Sounds good and Gray Fullbaster." He held out her hand and squeezed it.
"Juvia Loxar" They walked together down the street and every minute they spent together the sky went brightened.


They sat at a corner table in the restaurant. Gray ordered three courses and began to devour them quickly. Juvia ordered a chocolate cake and ate it slowly. Jaya suddenly saw Gray sitting shirtless, but this time with his pants, "Gray" she called to him, and he looked at her, cutting himself off from the food"Your shirt" She said. He jumped up to look for his shirt and jacket. In half an hour that she knew Gray fullbuster managed to lost his clothes and found them three times. The things he told her made her feel more joyous than she'd ever never thought the rain was the result of her magic power because she is powerful. She always knew she had magic but did not practice it. When he went looking for his clothes for the first time, Juvia was sure she would not see him again, but he came back. She did not know what to think about him at first. She saw him with her uncle's gift. She was ready to attack him, but he returned it to her in the second he realizes that her box, and stayed to talk to her. All his looks seemed cold and hard. From the black hair and his dark blue eyes, but he was kinder than any other person she knew.
"I'm back, It's so annoying," Gray muttered to himself.
"What's annoying?" She asked, she sank into her thoughts and did not notice that he had returned.
"My habit of spreading ... I just can not get rid of it," He sighed desperately.
"Why does Gray do that?" She asked, she wanted to understand his habit, where he came from and how. She saw his eyes stiffen and his jaw tightened and then released.
"I'm an ice magician, It's always too warm for me," he said, and she shouts out in surprise. She'd never met another person with magic powers before. Of course, objects with magic were everywhere but to a place at the farthest edge of the kingdom, at a very distant spot, was not a favorite place for a magicians gilud.
"Are you a magician?" She asked, jumping up and down excitedly in her chair "Yes, are you a magician?" He ignored her excitement, but his lips curled into a small, amused smile.
"Yes, Juvia is a water magician,"
Juvia said confidently and sent him happy and joyful smile.
"Wow," he said "our magic matches."
"Juvia also thinks they're matches." she blushed, and Gray looked at her in confusion.
"I'm going to the Magician Guild of Fairy Tail, you heard about it?" He asked.
"Juvia heard them, they're troublemakers, but one of the best Guilds in the kingdom and Juvia wants to join the guild too." She looked down sadly.
"Troublemakers, huh?" scratched his nose with his finger and grinned arrogantly. "Come with me," he suggested to Juvia.
"Juvia should ask her uncle if she can go, that's why Juvia brought him a present, that he would let Juvia go." She said quietly.
Gray nodded in understanding. "We'll go and ask him for permission, and then we'll go together to Magnolia," he said with absolute determination.
Juvia flushed again. "Why does Gray want Juvia to go with him to Magnolia?" She asked through her long eyelashes.
"You're powerful, our magic matches," he said, and Juvia regretted asking "And we're friends," he went on, saying it as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Jovia felt herself shining with joy. She felt something warm hit her from the sky. She saw a pale blue sky with white clouds and a bright yellow sun. For the first time, she saw the sun and everything thanks to her first friend. Gray Fullbuster.


They stood outside a yellow house with two floors and a green garden. Juvia entered the massive iron gate and motioned for Gray to follow her, but she saw that he had lost his shirt and trousers again. "Gray," she said, "your clothes." He jumped in a panic and called while running to look for the clothes "Wait for me a second I'm coming back" She stood by the gate and waited patiently.
He came back panting as he put on his jacket.
He enters in the gate.
"Juvia doesn't understand why Gray is in such a hurry?" She asked quietly.
"The last train to Magnolia leaves at 4 PM, and if I don't catch it, I will not have enough money to find a place to sleep in tonight. I overate." He smiled shyly, scratched his head, looked away and blushed with shame.
Juvia giggled. "Juvia thinks Gray does not have to worry, Joya is sure Uncle Bou will be happy to have us for the night."
"Bou is a wave, and Juvia is rain, you came from a family of water?" he said aloud, and Juvia giggled softly. She knocked on the door, and Uncle Bou opened the door and was surprised to see Juvia standing in the doorway.
"Good afternoon, Uncle Bou," she said happily. The big man with all the fair blue hair that was beginning to whiten at roots looked at her still stunned by astonishment. "Juvia brought a friend home, Gray Fullbaster." She introduced Gray to raise his hand and smile under pressure. "Yo, what's going on?" He said fearfully from the older man.
Uncle Bou came out of the amazement and cleared the entrance to the house.
"Good afternoon to you too, Juvia. And nice to meet, Gray" Bao shook his hand and closed the door after they entered.
"Juvia, your rain is gone," he said happily. "How did this happen?" He asked.
"Juvia met Gray at the village, and he's a Juvia's friend now.
Juvia is happy. Juvia brought you a gift, uncle Bou."
She handed him the gift that was a little wet, but Juvia noticed and pulled the water with a wave of her hand. Gray watched and was impressed and not the first time since he met Juvia hour and half time ago.
Bou took the gift and opened it. Inside was a frame with a picture of him and of Juvia who was a baby and was also a Trojan Boo doll.
"It feels like a parting gift," Bou said in a whisper.
"Juvia wants to go and look for a Guild, and Juvia wants to learn how to use her juvia go?" She asked, her face shining with happiness and hope. "Of course you can." He could not tell her no to her big blue eyes that asked him for something that would please her beyond imagination.
"Yata!" She exclaimed happily and hugged Bou quickly and then jumped at the startled Gray and dropped him to the floor and he groans painfully. "OOuch..."
Juvia laughed with such warmth that it melted Bao's heart.
He owes this child so much.
"Juvia can join Gray! They can go to Fairy Tail together!" Juvia cried excitedly still holding Gray.
"Juvia!" Gray shouted from underneath her, "You're suffocating me!" Juvia left him quickly and blushed. "G-gomen." She whispered. Gray sat down and took a few deep breaths. "It's alright" he managed to get out, and Juvia jumped on her legs and reached out to him to get up, and he took her.
"Uncle Bou?" Juvia's voice brought him back to reality. "Emmm?" He said with great wisdom. He's still trying to digest, a lot of things that have been happening in the past few minutes.
1. The rain that has always followed his niece since she was born has disappeared.
2. Juvia had never had friends, and now she brought one to their house.
3. The connection of these two children saw strong even though they barely know. Wants to leave and go to be water magician in Fairy tail where this little boy goes.
He wondered what was so special about this boy.
"Uncle Bou?" Juvia asked. "Uncle Bao listened to Juvia?"
he signed. "Sorry, honey, it's a lot to digest."
"Juvia asked if Gray could stay here tonight and then he and Juvia would go to Magnolia tomorrow morning." She asked, and her little blush on her cheeks remained from her embrace with Gray.
"Of course, I'll start dinner, and you'll start packing, Gray, do you want to help her or me in the kitchen?" He asked the boy. His messy black hair showed the mess in his life, and he hoped he would have the chance to talk alone with the kid who managed to get the real Juvia out.
"You need help?" Gray asked Juvia, and she shook her head. Gray nodded and went back to Bow. "I'll assist you, sir."
Bao opened the kitchen door, and Gray came in, and Juvia went upstairs to her room to pack.
"You can call me Bou, Gray, now that we're alone I have a few questions." He smiled and began to chop the vegetables as he spoke.

Gray was afraid. There were times when he experienced a sense of fear but stood up to a citizen without magic asking him about what had happened to Gray with his niece. Gray was not stupid. In such situations, one must be especially afraid that the man in question has a knife in his hand.
"How did you manage to stop her rain?" Bou asked while cutting carrots. Gray made a knife from ice and worked with it.
"I didn't do anything," Gray answered in wonder.
"Nothing? For years, Juvia tried to stop the rain and didn't succeed, and then she meets you, and after a few hours there is no rain anymore." Bou said, glaring at him.
"Ummm, I remember being impressed that she had so much power to influence the weather and after we sat down to eat I told her we were friends, that's all." He scratched his face as he tried to remember.
"Why Juvia?" Bou was impressed by the boy. He didn't turn his back on her like everyone else. Gray made her feel good about her power. But Bou wanted more details.
"She interests me." Gray shrugged.
The answer was straightforward and matter-of-fact but mysterious.
"Why does a boy like you walk around alone?" Bau asked and saw the boy becoming stiff and his gaze reduced in hostility. "My teacher is dead, I'm on my way to the Guild 'Fairy Tail'" he said coldly.
"Sorry kid, a boy of your age should not know that kind of loss." He offered him a comforting look, and a pat on the shoulder and Gray relaxed a little.
They continued the preparation quietly. Bou and Gray made rice with roasted chicken and vegetables in the oven. They hosted the table and served it all.
"I'll go and call Juvia," Gary said "Gray," he said. "I'm sorry I asked things they aren't my business and where are your clothes!?" The second part came half-shouted, and Gray jumped up in panic and looked for his clothes and returned a few minutes later dressed again.
"Sorry, I can not control my habit." Gray blushed and laughed.

"Are you going to call Juvia?" Bou said after his laughter was over.
