As the sun began to rise Juvia began to wake up feeling rather sore and as if she were only half wet. She looked around and found she was surrounded by tall rocks and sitting on the sand with the water only coming up to her stomach.

As she looked around she then noticed two funny sticks in the water in front of her. After a few seconds she remembered what had happened that evening and looked down to find her blue tail replaced with a pair of beautiful and glorious legs.

She tried to scream for joy but them realized her voice was gone, being the cost for her legs. Almost immediately she crawled for the shore and immediately tried to stand like she watched the humans do.

They were very shaky at first but after a few falls and trips she got the hang of walking. Every step felt weird to her for all she ever did was swim no there was pressure and gravity in the equation of her movement.

She wondered on the shore looking around for her Prince's castle, the witch said would be here. For ten minutes she wondered until at last she saw him sitting on a rock looking out. Juvia tried to call out to him but then was reminded once again that she could not speak.

She just stood there for a minute taking in the site of her Prince reminded how handsome he was.

As Gray sat there he couldn't help but feel as if someone was watching him. He turned to his right nothing was there, he looked behind and no one was there, and then he turned to his left and a half naked woman was standing there.

Gray nearly had a heart attack it was such a shock and he fell off the rock he was on. He then slowly came up making sure to cover his eyes from her lower half.

"Uuuumm Hello miss may I ask what your doing?"

Juvia then pointed to her throat and shook her head.

Gray at first was very confused but then got the message she couldn't speak.

"Oh you can't speak I see well then ummm how about you put this on."

Gray then took off the cloak he was wearing and put it around her making sure it was closed. Juvia's heart speed up as he did this feeling so happy to be back with her Prince.

"Are you lost, where's your party?"

Juvia looked him rather confused by what he meant by her party.

"Well I guess you must be lost then well how about you come with me to my castle and we'll see what we can do there."

Gray put his arms on her shoulders and lead her towards his great castle, feeling as if this girl looked somehow familiar. Juvia only blushed the entire way from the Prince's touch feeling unbelievable amounts of happiness

After they got to the castle Gray took Juvia to Ur and requested she helped her clean up. Ur nodded and led Juvia to the bathroom in the main guest bedroom.

"Alright dear let's get you all cleaned and ready for the day. You must have had one rough night to have lost all your clothes and gotten so lost. Well let's hope that a warm bath can help relieve your troubles."

Juvia was then led to the large tub which was then filled with warm water and soap which made lots of large bubbles.

After about half an hour Juvia was at last bathed. Her long blue hair was was curled and she was given an absolutely beautiful dress. It was a deep blue ball gown with puffed shoulders and long sleeves that started below her shoulder and went all the way down to her hands. It was layered like a rose and was made of organza and satin.

Juvia couldn't believe how beautiful her dress was and the human world in general. It was also new and fascinating to her every bit of it just as enchanting as the next.

She was then led to the dining room where they were having lunch. She saw her Prince and then an older man sitting at the end of a rather long table.

"Oh miss have a seat." Gray said as he got up and lead Juvia over to a chair.

After Juvia was sat she looked at the dish they were having, it was some kind of crab! What was going on why were they eating her subjects. Before Juvia could truly freak out Gray spoke up.

"Miss this is my father King Silver."

Juvia looked up at the older man and as she looked at him and his kind smile she could definitely tell they were father and son. He and Gray shared the same hair, eyes, smile, face shape, and eyebrows.

"Hello my dear." Silver said.

Juvia merely waved and smiled figuring there wasn't much else she could do.

As the lunch went on Gray and Silver continued their conversation including Juvia as best they could. She would mainly just nod and shake her head to answer most questions but was surprisingly able to make the conversation interesting and enjoyable.

"Juvia would you like to join me in a tour of the castle?"

Juvia nodded her head ecstatically.

"Ok then follow me, good bye dad we'll see you later."

"You two enjoy yourselves."

As they left Silver couldn't help but think how much he like Juvia. Though she couldn't speak she seemed to make Gray very happy more than he'd been in the last few weeks. She was kind, pretty, and actually a decent communicator.

"She might just be right." Silver thought.

Juvia was dazzled by the castle as Gray showed her all of it. He showed her the kitchen, the other rooms, the gardens, the throne room, and everything in between. Juvia has even met Natsu who got the same impression from her like Silver and felt that this one was clearly already special to their Prince.

They spent hours walking around until it was getting close to sundown. Their last stop was the ballroom which was absolutely beautiful, it was draped with beautiful velvet curtains, many large paintings of the royal family hung, a whole wall that was a window which viewed the setting sun, and ornate golden molding everywhere. The setting sun only enhanced its beauty making it shine and glisten in the sunshine.

As Gray watched Juvia's fascination grow until she came to one of the large paintings.

Juvia was mesmerized by it, it was a painting of a beautiful woman sitting down with Sliver behind her with his hands on her shoulders and a baby in the woman's arms. Gray then walked over to her and looked at the painting himself.

"This is a painting of my family from a long time ago. I was only a baby back then so I don't know why dad insists on keeping it in here but I guess it holds fond memories."

Juvia then turned to Gray her face looking like she had a question.

"You're probably wondering who the woman in the painting is?"

Juvia nodded her head.

"That's my mother she died when I was eight from sickness. I miss her quite a lot at times, she was so kind and loving. But I know she's still here watching me so it's not so bad."

Juvia leaned on Gray's shoulder as if to say she knew the feeling and was sorry for him. As they stood there Gray then got an idea to lighten the mood.

"Hey were in a ballroom how about we dance."

Juvia looked at him rather confused.

"Why not it's the perfect time."

Juvia then looked rather sad.

"Oh you don't know how to dance, well how about I show."

Gray took Juvia's hand and led her to the middle of the floor.

"Alright you put this hand on my shoulder and the other in my hand."

Gray guided her hands to their places.

"Then I put my hand around your waist."

Juvia blushed as Gray touched her lower back.

"Know move your feet in the opposite directions of mine and I'll lead where we are going."

Juvia at first awkwardly moved with Gray's feet but she surprisingly quickly got the hang of dancing. Eventually they waltzed all around the room each looking deeply into each other's eyes. Neither could believe the almost instant connection they felt but as they danced it was quite clear love was sprouting.
