The next day, Juvia strolled over cheerfully to Max's stall.
"Good morning, Max-san! How are the sales going?"
"Ah Juvia-chan! Guess what?" Max grinned knowingly. "Yesterday, someone bought every last one of your dolls and paid handsomely at that!"
Juvia covered her mouth in surprise. "Eh?! Is that true?" She gasped as various ideas flooded into her mind. "Could it be Gray-sama who bought Juvia's dolls?! No no…Gray-sama would never do something like that."
"Well actually—" Max wanted to put a stop to the girl's ridiculous train of thoughts, but was cut off when he felt the familiar shiver run down his spine. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gray lurking behind a pole, glaring daggers at him.
"Uhh… actually Juvia-chan, it was some stalker who bought your dolls. He was probably a secret admirer of yours!" He laughed nervously.
"A stalker?" The blunette looked down in disappointment. "Now there won't be any more Juvia dolls left for Gray-sama! What if he buys Lucy dolls instead?!"
The water mage wailed and chewed on her handkerchief grudgingly. "Juvia must find this stalker and stop him from ruining her chances with Gray-sama!"
Max sweat-dropped. If only she knew….
Author's Note: I find this so ironic. Now Gray is the one with a room full of Juvia plushies haha. And poor Juvia doesn't know that Gray was the "stalker" who bought every one of her dolls in the first place.
