The next day Happy finally managed to find Natsu and tell him what happened to Juvia. The young prince immediately set out to find her.
"Fear not Juvia I will rescue you!" He declared diving head first into the well.
"Yeah but who's gonna rescue me?!" Happy shouted following after him.
Upon reaching the bottom the two were then shot upward out of the manhole and into Magnolia where several construction men were working on the man hole.
"Whoa! Hey buddy!" One of the workers said.
"Silence!" Natsu said pulling a sword in him. "Your name peasant! Quickly!"
"Macao. Macao Conbolt."
"Are you in league with the wicked old hag who sent my poor Juvia to this foul place Macao?"
Before he could answer Happy popped right out from the manhole and landed in Natsu's hand.
"Well Happy is this man part of this evil plot?"
Happy tired to tell Natsu no but all that came out was...
"Meow!" He tried again to speak bur again all he could say was. "Meow! Meow! Meow!"
"Happy what happened to your voice? And where did your wings go?"
"Meow! Meow! Meow!"
"Huh...It would seem that this strange world has left Happy speechless." He then turned back to Macao. "So what say you sir? Don't try my patience."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"I seek a beautiful girl."
"I'd like to find one of those too you know."
"Then keep a warey eye Macao. Come along Happy."
Natsu and his companion then set off to search for Juvia. Speaking of Juvia, she woke up to find herself in a very messy apartment. Dirty dishes, laundry, dusty furniture, bathrooms with mildew in the sink and bathtub, and trash everywhere.
"Oh my." She said. "What a mess. I never thought such nice people could live like this."
Suddenly Juvia got an idea. To thank Gray and Wendy for their hospitality she decided to clean up their apartment. But with a mess this big she was going to need some help. Opening the nearest window she let out a sing-song call that summoned various animals to the apartment. As soon as they heard het voice birds, squirrels, and rabbits came flying and running to her aid.
"Alright everyone let's tidy things up. Birds do the dishes and take out the trash, rabbits do the laundry and dust the furniture, squirrels clean the bathroom, and I'll sweep and scrub the floor."
Juvia and the animals began cleaning the apartment from top to bottom. Before long the entire apartment was spotless with every single area cleaned to perfection. Once the apartment was neat and clean Juvia decided to freshen up in the now clean bathroom. A couple minutes later Wendy woke up to get some breakfast but was shocked to find animals in her living room.
"Gray!" She shouted running to her brother's bedroom. His body was laying off the edge of his bed and was only wearing pants. Wendy jumped into his bed and began hitting him with a pillow. "Gray wake up! Wake up!"
"What? What is it?" He mumbled sleepily.
"Gray you have to come see this! Hurry!"
"What is it?"
"I can't tell you! You have to come see! Hurry! Hurry!"
"Alright I'm up! I'm up!"
As soon as he was awake Wendy grabbed him by his arm and began pulling him into the living room.
"What the?!" He shouted when he saw the animals. "What is this? A petting zoo? Get out! Out! Go on! Shoo! Amscre!"
Gray and Wendy chased the animals out of their apartment and closed up all the doors and windows to keep them from coming back in.
"Wendy I know that you want a pet but wasn't that a little too much?"
"It wasn't me Gray. They were here when I woke up."
"Did you leave the door open again?"
"No."
"The window?"
"No I swear."
"Then where the heck-"
But he was cut off by the sound of a water running and singing coming from the bathroom.
"Hello?" He said knocking on the bathroom door.
"Come in."
Gray opened the door and his face turned blood red when he walked into the bathroom to see Juvia getting out of the shower, wearing a bath towel.
"Oh good morning Gray." She said. "I hope you had nice dreams."
"I think I'm still in one."
"This room is so magical. Where does water come from?"
"The water comes from the pipes."
"And where did the pipes get it?"
"I don't know I'm not a plumber."
"This thing that you bathe in? What's it called?"
"A shower."
"Oh I wish we had showers back in Alvarez."
"Oh no don't tell me you don't bathe back where you're from."
"Oh no I bathed all the time in the river."
"The river? Are you a hippie or something?"
"What's a hippie?"
"Nevermind."
At that moment there was a knock at the door. Wendy went to answer it, it was Lucy Heartfilia a fashion designer and Gray's girlfriend.
"Hi Wendy." She said.
"Hi Lucy what are you doing here?"
"Didn't Gray tell you? I was going to take you to school today. Hey why are you still in PJ's?"
"It's been pretty weird around here."
"Wow. It sure is clean in here." She said observing the apartment. "Did you guys get a maid?"
"No. Not exactly."
In the bathroom Gray was trying to wipe up some water that had accidentally been spilled on to the floor from the shower.
"Don't worry my friends will take care of that." Juvia assured him.
She once again made a sing-song call and two birds came flying through the bathroom window. But they flew right into Gray causing him to fall over and accidentally pull Juvia on top of him.
"Ow!" Gray groaned.
"Oh!" Juvia gasped.
"Sorry about that."
"It's okay are you hurt."
"No I just- Lucy?"
He turned over to see that Lucy was standing at the end of the hallway. Needless to say she wasn't happy to see another woman wearing only a bath towel laying on top of Gray who wasn't wearing a shirt.
"Oh hello." Juvia said smiling.
"Who is this?" Lucy asked getting upset.
"This...This is nothing! Nothing!"
Lucy turned to leave. Gray quickly shoved Juvia off of him and ran to stop her.
"Lucy wait! It's not what it looks like!"
"Oh really? Do you think I'm stupid Gray? Who is she?"
"Nobody! She's just some woman who got lost and I was trying to help her."
"Help her what? Find the shower?"
"Lucy we really need to talk."
"Talk about what Gray? How I never stay the night? How you always say that because Wendy's here we have maintain boundaries and I think how lucky I am because you're sensitive! But now I realize that you were worried about crowd control!"
"Lucy wait you said that you would take Wendy to school! You're still going to do that right?"
"Why so you can have some alone time with Miss blue hair over here? I don't think so."
"Okay but you'll call me right?"
"Don't bet on it you pervert!"
Without another word she left the apartment while slamming the door.
"I wonder why she was so upset?" Juvia asked.
"Get dressed. Please." Gray huffed in frustration.
