~7 years since Juvia left for Tenroujima~
I am now a year older than Juvia would've been. And it's safe to say, I've changed a lot.
A brunette stood on a stage. She is very different from the young and bumbling tween she was before. Her hair was now longer and thicker, set up into two half-bun pigtails. And her boyish charm had been discarded in favor of sharp features and grace. No more were the jean shorts, middriff tank top, and sneakers.
Oh no, the remaining girls of Fairy tail wouldn't allow it. Forcing her to go shopping and replacing her clothes for a Black halter dress with gold lining, she was the newest beauty of Fiore, and the high slit along the right thigh of her dress, exposing her black guild mark, just added to her appeal.
She had put her fot down when they tried to wrangle her into a pair of thigh-high heeled boots, and though they may sit in the back of her closet, she wears a pair of black platformed sandals. Gone is the boyish and cute Siren, she has grown into a calm, mysterious woman.
Through the years Siren had became close with Wakaba, the funny smoker, and it seems that all the stress caused him to lose hair. But master Macau's hair has been turning grey from responsibilities and those Twilight Ogre assholes pestering him.
She was introduced to Bisca and Alzack, and in fact, was at their wedding. And little Asuka adores her "Ariel".
Most of Siren's time is spent busy on jobs, but whenever she has down time she goes into town and performs. Asuka loves Siren's singing, dubbing her as the mermaid. Siren regrets the day she bought the storybook for Asuka. For now, shes been forever dubbed "Ariel".
Even so, whenever needed, Asuka is taken with Siren to go perform. As much as she may detest them, Twilight Ogre pays handsomely for her gigs.
Siren had become good friends with both Max and Warren, both are slight pervs, and adding in Wakaba and Master Macau, Siren has experience with brushing suggestive comments off. She does however enjoy bluntly replying racier comments just to see them squirm.
In fact, theys rather close with all the members left of Fairy Tail. Though she can personally understand the depth and range of their pain, they formed bonds in their adversary and resilience.
But the person Siren was closest to was Romeo. He's still quite a bit younger than her, but Siren took him on jobs frequently. She seemed to be the only one he'd go accompany without prodding from the master, his father.
Unlike the others, Siren never tried to make him talk about his feelings, nor did she waste her breath trying to comfort him without prompt.
On their first job he just sat at a dock and stared out to sea, and after finishing up, Siren sat with him. As she sat beside him, she tried to overcome her own shyness and open up to him. And I described just how much she admired Juvia and how she was Siren's role model. How she had saved her, and for that Siren owes Juvia her life. She even told him about her insecurities about disappointing her, and in turn, he told Siren his.
They were in similar positions, and in a way became eachother's biggest support.
When the guild was about to fall under debt, master swallowed his pride and asked the up and rising guild "Twilight Ogre" for help.
What no one expected was the unjust interest they were charging the guild. Now every month everone scraps together as much money as possible to pay the debt.
They visited a while back and trashed the place while Siren was out on a job. But she also missed the big news about the Tenrou team in her absence.
She'd just arrived home from her trip today, a bag filled with money on her hip, but despite her exhaustion, she had a gig with Twilight, and was determined to see it through.
Throughout the few hours she worked, the easily brushed off assholes and pervs, finally only having a single song left of her performance. The last song was a crowd pleaser, and this usually meant a lot of tips. Granted, tips were given by "making it rain" but Siren could really care less.
As she fished her magical Violin ut o the case, she saw a group of the Twilight's crew walking out of the guild and laughing about "Giving those flies all they deserve"
She knew that wouldn't be ending well, so she vowed to finish her performance quickly and get to the guild asap.
Putting the violin to her chin she felt her magic hum peacefully as her soundwaves spread around the room, pleasing and lovely. She sang upbeat and quick music, finally finishing, packig up, and picking up her jewels so she could get to the guild.
Siren booked it to the guild and as she approached the door, she was obstructed by a huge crowd, and her sensitive ears heard, crying? and laughter? She was sure Twilight didn't leave with a group like this, so perhaps they picked up more people on the way?
But then her heart dropped, the sound of Romeo's cries and her blood boiled. Siren growled lowly and dropped her bag.
Aiming at the large crowd, she yelled "Sound Wave: Barrier". Manipulating both the sound waves surrounding those assholes and mixing them with the sound waves of her own voice, creating a pulsing dome of white noise around them.
Siren grabbed her bag and jumped over the group, seeing a flash of pink hair in front of Romeo. The group of people were kneeling on the ground and holding their ears.
She smirked lightly, serves them right for making my Romeo cry. She took a moment to relish in satisfaction and then rushed over to Romeo, who looked at Siren in shock.
She then looked him over and asked " Are you hurt? Who made you cry?" before turning to Macau, who looked horrified.
"What? I wasn't just going to let those Twilight bastards make Romeo cry! You're his father, why didn't you do something?!" Siren stopped for a moment when she noticed he was crying, as well as everyone else...?
And that's when Siren saw him out of the corner of her eye. Teebo, Twilight Ogre's little ringleader was smashed through the bar, and multiple bodies all around, even a guy completely frozen. If these are the guild lackeys, then who are...?
Siren whipped around to look at the crowd of people she just trapped. The pink haired guy in front of Romeo was clutching his head and groaning. He was covered in bandages?
And whats that on his shoulder, just through the sleeve of his shirt. Her mouth gaped open as she realized, I could see... Is-Is that a fairy tail mark?!
