I do not own fairytail... I wish..

Juvia dropped her head onto the bar counter and let out a defeated sigh. She bit back the tears threatening to fall. She was rejected by Gray once again. She was not only saddened by his rejection, but she had second thoughts that she should just give up on Gray and move on.

She was never one to give up so easily, because whenever she confessed to Gray, she would always remain unaffected after being rejected. But now, after the 87th rejection, Juvia is growing just a little bit impatient.

"Whats wrong Juvia?" Mirajane, the bar maid, questioned sweetly.

"I'm thinking of giving up on Gray" Juvia said getting straight to the point.

Mirajane raised an eyebrow. She could sense that Juvia was being very serious, as she was speaking in first person. Mirajane was also taken aback. Is Juvia really even considering giving up on her Gray?

"Oh no you don't " responded Mirajane with the same level of seriousness.

"You're not giving up any time soon, so stop pitying yourself"

Gruvia was Mirajanes favourite ship. There was no way she would let self pity get in the way of 'true love '.

Juvia was a little unsure of how to respond. "But Mira..."

"No buts! ! You and Gray are crazy for each other, so there is no reason to give up. Gray loves you more than you think, he just needs a little push so that he himself can realise it."

Mirajane had a wide smirk planted on her beautiful face. Juvia sweatdropped, sensing that Mira was up to no good. .

"What are you planning Mira?" Juvia asked accusingly.

"What? Gray might not be an open book, but who's to say he wont tell someone else about his feelings?" Mirajanes smirk only grew larger.

Juvia gave this some thought before responding. "But Mira, Gray doesn't open up to anyone. Mira knows that Gray wouldn't share that sort of information with anyone!"

"Well, that is true... But what if we had to force it out of him?"

"How does Mira-san plan on doing that?" Juvia stated sarcastically.

"Well, if we had to impersonate someone he is likely to trust and put him in an awkward position where he has to let out his feelings, then we would know where you stand in his life. " Mira trailed off.

By now, Mirajanes face had gone numb from the amount of smirking.

"So basically, Mira wants Juvia to take the identity of someone Gray trusts, say.. Loke, and ask Gray-sama what he thinks of Juvia?"

"Exactly!" Mirajane squealed.

"Juvia is not too sure... Isn't it a bit sly and dishonest?"

"It is. But Juvia darling, hasn't Gray also been unfair over these past 2 years where he has constantly lead you on but then still rejects you? I dont blame you Juvia, any girl would take his reactions that he likes you." Mira said matter-of-factly.

Juvia didn't need any more convincing. Grays attitude around her confused her too much. One moment he would compliment her on her appearance, then the next he would avoid having conversations with Juvia. She was frustrated, and she figured that life was too short to wait around for anyone. Including her Gray-sama.

"Ok. I'm in." Juvia said with a broad grin.

"Perfect! " Mira's eyes shone with excitement. "Lissanna, please cover for me" Mira shouted across the guild to the younger Strauss sibling.

"Sure thing. Stay out of trouble Mira" Lissanna said with a wink.

"Dont worry about me. It's Juvia we need to worry about!"

Juvia sweat-dropped. Before Juvia or Lissanna could question Mira further, Mira tugged Juvia by the arm and ran out the guild.

"Oh Mira... please stay out of trouble" Lisanna whispered to herslf as she watched the retreating figures of Juvia and her sister.

"Mira-san, what exactly is the plan?"

"Juvia don't you worry. Everyrthing will plan out just fine."

"But Mira-san... Juvia can't go on an operation blindly and play detective!"

"Dont worry Juvia. Here. This is our little secret weapon" Mira said with a glint in her eye whilst she held up an emerald green vile and extended it out to Juvia.

"What.. is it?" Juvia accepted the vile hesitantly.

"That is a metamorphosis potion. If you take a single strand of hair from the person whose identity you want to borrow and mix it with that potion, you will fully transform into that person for three hours." Mira declared proudly.

Juvia was taken aback. "So if Juvia drank the potion with a piece of love rival's hair, Juvia will turn into love rival!?"

"Yes, but I dont think that is the person you should impersonate" Mira said hurriedly.

"Hmmm... Then whose hair do we use? Erza-san and Gray-sama are quite close?"

"They are, but Erza would not appreciate it if you knocked her out for three hours straight for an investigation" Mira shuddered at the mere thought.

"Wait Mira-san. You never said anything about hurting anyone.!"

"Juvia, we aren't hurting anyone. We just need to dose the person with a sleeping potion whilst you impersonate them. Think about it: If you impersonated Lucy whislt talking to Gray, and the real Lucy walked in, wouldn't Gray immediately be suspicious?"

"That makes sense. Then who does Juvia impersonate? Loke?"

"No, not quite... I was thinking more... Natsu..."

"Natsu-san! But the only words Gray-sama ever says to Natsu-san are flame brain and fire princess! How will Juvia ever have a serious conversation with Gray-sama if he just wants to fight Juvia the entire time?!"

"Oh but Juvia, you don't know them quite like I do..." Mira said with a smirk. "Sure, they fight at any opportunity they get, but that is their way of bonding. They take each other seriously and care for each other more than they let on. Every once in a while, I catch them in what seems to be a serious conversation. I promise that Gray would trust Natsu, because if Natsu, say, had to go into the guild and spread Gray's secrets, who would actually believe him?"

Juvia contemplated this, before her face twisted into a smile. "Ok" she agreed. "Natsu it is then."

"Great! Now we just need to make a plan to get a piece of Natsus hair..."

Boy, if only Juvia knew what she was getting herself into.

And? How did I do?
