A/N: Hello everyone! How are you? I am so sorry I didn't update for such a long time, but my program was so messed up! Anyway, no more excuses, I promise I will update more often, at least I believe that it will be once a month :P So go on and enjoy the chapter. And soon, more of our favorite couple's adventures are coming up! Enjoy :D
"We have WHAT?!" both of them shrieked at each other, eyes popping out of their sockets.
"Please tell me you are kidding Levy! Tell me this is some kind of a twisted joke because I can't stay like this for a day, imagine for two weeks!"
"That applies to Juvia as well Levy-chan! She can't be a man for two weeks!"
"Well, guys, I think that the two weeks deadline will be the least of your problems..." the script mage announced eyes glued on the book. She was deeply concentrated on the meaning between the lines of the pages.
"We", her voice majestic and surprisingly loud (it was clear she was too intrigued) "have a riddle to solve."
"What the fuck is this shit?" Gray yelled.
"As it seems, the witch casted a spell from the ancient book of spells to you two. I don't know how she got her hands on it, since we guard it in the guild" she said indicating the book in her arms with her eyes.
"Maybe she found it when the book was lost... a few decades before it was stolen by another guild... Hmmm, what was the guild's name she was from? Did she tell you?" Makarov asked and the two mages exchanged weird gazes.
"I think she said she was from Tartarus." Gray replied and the master's eyes glowed with something that seemed like... Identification?
"So that explains a lot." he groaned and rubbed his chin.
"What is it?"
"Tartarus was the guild that stole the book from us those years ago. We managed to recover it but I always knew that the protection spell was broken and they had read the spells."
"That little bitch!" Gray hissed and the master looked at his body strictly but then he remembered the change and turned to the real Gray (in Juvia's body).
"Anyway, let's get back to the point, shall we?" Levy suggested and everyone's eyes turned on her once again.
"We have a riddle written underneath the spell and only two weeks to solve it." Levy announced and the two mages grew pale while the rest of their companions were bewildered by the situation they were in.
"Read the riddle please."
"Ok, here it goes." And so Levy took a deep breath and started reading from the ancient book.
"Two souls that became attached
two bodies that became one
there is only one thing to do
to solve the change and the spell undo
find the thing that binds you two
and only when you realize what's true
you'll return to your bodies
and the spell you'll undo"
"Oh my, what the fuck is this?"
"Calm down Gray, it doesn't seem unsolved, we will figure this out."
"But we only have two fucking weeks! How will we solve that?"
"Well, don't worry about it, we'll all work together to solve this."
"Juvia thinks that she will remain like this forever. If she is to depend on Gray's intelligence, we'll never get out of this situation." She snorted and Gray eyed her, flames coming out of his eyes.
"Do you underestimate my intelligence?"
"Of course."
"Are you looking for a fight you little arrogant…" Gray marched towards her, the skirt of the dress going up and down furiously hair flowing around like those of Medusa.
"Stop it you two!" Makarov shouted and the two mages behaved the last moment.
"So," Erza continued like nothing happened. "I think it's the best for the two of you to live together for these two weeks. I think that it will be much easier to solve this if you live together because the riddle refers to something that connects you. So the only one that can solve this is you."
"You are joking right?" Gray said laughing but Erza was so serious that gave him the creeps. "Oh no you're not."
"Go and get some rest, you'll need it." Mirajane suggested. "You have two very rough weeks ahead of you."
"And we'll try to find anything useful about the spell and the riddle."
"Ok, then. See you tomorrow guys." Gray greeted and with a defeated look on his face he left the guild, followed by a dumbfounded Juvia.
They walked alongside each other, silence hovered between them. No words could describe what they felt at the moment. Gray felt desperately helpless, he wasn't good at all with riddles and he thought that he couldn't possibly solve this. Juvia on the other hand couldn't stand the idea of staying together with Gray. The moment she decided to leave her feelings behind and move on with her relationship with Lyon and let Gray free, fate intervened and glued them together, at least for the next two weeks. What had she done to deserve this treatment? She just wanted to avoid more suffering.
When they reached Gray's apartment, they both stood outside of the door, not being able to do another single move.
"So, we'll live together for the next couple weeks huh?" Gray questioned indifferently.
"Juvia guesses we will."
"That will be interesting." He murmured and searched his pockets for his keys. Surprise, surprise! No pockets, no keys.
"Juvia could you please give me my keys?" Gray stretched his hand and Juvia watched it dumbfounded.
"Juvia doesn't have your keys, why would she-" and that's when realization hit her. "Oh, yes." She searched Gray's pants and found the keys into one of the pockets. She threw them onto his (her) palm avoiding complete contact.
Gray opened the door silently and allowed to Juvia to enter first. As she walked in, her new clumsy body stumbled onto a plant next to the door. She managed to balance before falling down and before Gray could catch her. He stretched his hands but when he saw she didn't fall, he quickly folded them near to his new body.
'I hope I am not gonna get used to this.' He thought and then walked past her and started to guide her through the apartment. Luckily, it wasn't a big apartment, so he only showed her around for a few minutes. Juvia just followed him silently and nodded whenever she needed to. When the tour was over they returned to the living room.
"So you'll sleep in my room and I'll take the couch."
"No, Gray-san doesn't need to do so. Juvia can sleep to the…"
"I am not doing this only for you, I am doing it for my body as well. It doesn't fit anywhere else, the couches are too uncomfortable and small for my body to sleep."
"Oh, I see. So… Juvia will go to sleep." She said and walked to Gray's bedroom. "Goodnight Gray-san."
"Goodnight Juvia." And before she closed the door "Don't worry about this, we'll figure the solution out."
"Juvia is certain about it." And with a hidden smile she closed the door behind her.
The water mage/ current ice mage walked towards the mirror, her footsteps echoing into the room and her eyes scanning the place. She closed her eyes for a moment and inhaled deeply before seeing her reflection. But the face she saw through the glass wasn't hers, it belonged to the person she loved and still does. And now she saw him crying and crashed her heart. Even though it was her soul it was his body and it felt like she saw him sobbing. How would she solve this? She didn't know. But for now she needed some sleep so she threw herself onto the bed and slowly drifted to the world of dreams.
Juvia woke up into an unfamiliar room. She couldn't recognize the walls or the windows or the bed. Realization hit her along with a massive headache when she faced her reflection on the mirror once again. 13 days to go. She had to find out a solution and quickly. And to top it all she had a date with Lyon tomorrow. How would she deal with that? She tried to sit upright but something felt awkward onto this new and clumsy body. She looked down and that's when she traced a weird bulge growing through her pants.
Oh my, don't tell me that is! Juvia's eyes were ready to pop out of their sockets as she realized what she was staring at. Should I? Oh no, I shouldn't! Or maybe… two little figures appeared on Juvia's shoulders, a small angel Juvia with a halo and a small demon Juvia with a trident and a red tale.
"Maybe you should touch it." The demon teased the horny mage.
"No you shouldn't. It's not yours to begin with!" The angel contradicted.
"It's yours for now." The demon pinched Juvia's arm with the pitchfork. "You should go ahead and do it now you have the chance. You always wondered, didn't you? How it would feel like to have him? Well now at least you have his body so do whatever you want with it." The devil winked at the stunned mage, almost having her convinced. Why shouldn't she enjoy it? Gray wouldn't find out. Maybe in that way she could have her closure somehow. And she would enjoy it as well… wow that was a perverted thought. She got surprised when she saw that her hand was extremely close to that area. And just when she was about to do it, the door burst open, almost broken and a flustered Gray in Juvia's body dashed into the room. He looked at Juvia and then at the bulge on the pants and how her hand was close to that. The little figures were gone, but Juvia was so blushed, she was caught in the act. Her blushed cheeks practically screamed guilty even if it was only a thought. Yet.
Gray acted quickly. He dragged Juvia out of the bed and he threw her into the shower. He turned the valve to the coldest point and he let a dumbfounded Juvia under the freezing water. Gray seemed pleased that he averted the crisis in the last moment and he wiped his forehead with the back of his hand.
"That was close." He murmured and then smiled. "Now I can go back to sleep." And he left Juvia alone to wash out all of her horny thoughts and perverted images that invaded her mind.
A/N: So how did you find it? Personally I laughed so hard with the last scene. I just imagined the whole thing and I was like "that would be awesome if it would get animated. so funny!" xD So let me know what you think. And aren't you excited about the upcoming interview and the date with Lyon? how are favorite mages will react? We'll found out soon. Until the next chapter :)
