The lizard flicked its tongue up and down, a foul smell triggered Juvia's gag reflexes. In that moment, a powerful tail swung down at Juvia, aiming for her head. With the help of a water wall, Juvia slowed down the tail and allowed Juvia to jump out of the way. Juvia tried to cut the tail off with her 'Water Slicer' but, the scales were harder than they looked, deflecting the water with ease, drawing only anger from the oversize gecko. It let loose more of the same revolting smell in the air, this time stronger and added a burning sensation up Juvia's nose.

Juvia sealed away the smell with 'Water Lock', giving Juvia some fresh air to breath for once. The lizard was struggling to get out of Juvia's magic, trashing limbs and swinging the tail. It went as far as throwing out it's tongue out to strangle Juvia. Juvia was planning to cut the tongue off, the thought of the eggs hatching and not having a mother to take care of it was too sad for Juvia to commit to the magic. So Juvia released the lizard. It studied Juvia intently, wondering what Juvia will do next. Seeing how the lizard was smart enough to attack Juvia while her gag reflex was kicking in, Juvia gave the diplomatic approach one more shot.

"Juvia is sorry that we got on the wrong foot," Juvia tried to use a more calming and kind tone. "Juvia knows you are just trying to do what's best for your kids. However, you're ruining to lives of a village downstream, do you think you can let the water flow again?" The lizard remained vigilant, only losing a bit of the anger it was displaying earlier. "If not, Juvia is afraid the village will send more people up here. And they won't be as merciful as Juvia." The lizard showed another emotion change, fear to hesitant before changing to resignment. The lizard walked to the dam it created and, released the water flow.

Juvia climbed up a lip to get a better look, five eggs were submerged in the river, each one twice the size of Juvia's head. The lizard looked at Juvia expectantly, moving to the river bank, then back to Juvia, to the bank again. Afterwards, it made a digging motion. Juvia followed the lizard to the bank and looked back, it responded by digging at the ground. Juvia used 'Water Slicer' to cut a square hole at the bank, water instantly flooded the new space, the lizard quickly moved one egg to the fresh hole. Now, that Juvia knows what to do, Juvia made a small pit down the river a bit—not on the bank, just next to it. Juvia connected the first hole she made with the pit, water flowed into the pit, making a small pond. The lizard moved all the eggs to the pond that Juvia made.

"It's easier to protect them now right? Juvia is rooting for you, Juvia may become a mother as well." Juvia waved the lizard goodbye, as she was leaving, a gentle tongue pulled Juvia back to the nest. "What is it?" The horn of the lizard fell off, and a new one replaced it. The lizard picked it up its tongue and gave it to Juvia. "Thank You but, it's Juvia that should be thanking you for putting up with Juvia's selfish request." Juvia handed the horn back. The lizard fell asleep right on top of the nest, telling Juvia that she can't return the gift. So, putting the horn inside Juvia's bag—after washing it—Juvia went back to the village to give Nick-san the good news.

"Thanks for getting the water flowing again! You really saved our hides."

"Now as promised, please give Juvia the fabric that she needs."

"Sure! Follow me." Nick-san unlocked a huge door to a building. Inside, was a warehouse filled with different colour, thickness and length of fabrics. "Though there really isn't much, one can take the kind one need. What are you going for?"

"Just a set of clothes."

"Do you need help with sewing?"

"No Juvia is fine by herself." Juvia took the colours that she need, the same types that Natsu is sporting right now. Juvia will make the outfit when she's on the train for the next location. "Thank You very much!"

"Give and take, good luck with the clothes!"

"Yes!"


Juvia was about to get a ticket for Farroncall when Juvia happened to overhear this peculiar conversation.

"Are you sure about this?" A lady exclaimed. "A bracelet that can help with motion sickness?" That'll be perfect for a gift! Juvia left the ticket booth and made her way to the two gossiping ladies.

"It's true! My son has a pretty bad motion sickness, and when I got him this bracelet, never again! It's like magic!"

"Umm…" Juvia drew the two's attention. "Where may Juvia find that bracelet?"

"Young lady, do you have motion sickness?"

"No, but Juvia's boyfriend does."

"That's terrible!"

"It is, so when Juvia overheard your conversation, Juvia thought that it can help him."

"I guarantee it! You can find a smith that makes it in Tennant Town."

"Tennant Town?"

"Yes, it's a lovely little town that's oozing with creativity! Oh! I can still hear those jolly tunes even now!"

"Thank You very much!"

"Good luck, hope your boyfriend cherishes you, you're such a sweet girl." Juvia went back to the ticket booth.

"One-way trip to Tennant town please!" Juvia paid the required amount of money for the trip, there was still an hour before the next train departs so, Juvia spent the time making Natsu's new clothes.

As the lady back then had said, Tennant Town is a place filled with creative vibes, everywhere Juvia looked, there was at least two people doing something interesting, street painters, bands, black smiths, just about every medium of art was being displayed to their fullest. It was slightly overwhelming really, Juvia had no idea where to go in her pursuit of the bracelet.

Juvia used up a decent amount of time at admiring the glassware that was being displayed on a stall, a rabbit taking care of its young, a strange egg with intricate etches of serpents coiling around the egg. Juvia asked the store owner to deliver the rabbit statue to Fairy Hills and gave the payment. After looking around at jewelry for a while, none of the shops had anything that was close to what Juvia was after.

"Young lady, you seemed to be disappointed, is my ware not up to standard?" An elderly man asked Juvia with a troubled look.

"It's not that, Juvia was looking for a bracelet that can help with motion sickness."

"Ahh, you're looking for Tristan's work, he's a real genius you know, he's one of the ten wizards in this town. Though, if you're looking for a ordered ware, you might have to wait a few months or so, his orders are always backed up."

"Is that so, Juvia won't make it on time them…"

"Well, just give Tristan a visit, you might just get lucky."

"Then where can Juvia find him?" The man pointed down the street.

"Just follow this road to the end, it should be the building with the 'Jolly Times' sign on it, you can't miss it, there's usually a line there. If you make it now, you won't have to wait as long, most people are out for lunch."

"Juvia will do just that, Thank You very much." Juvia ran down the street, ignoring the advancements from other stores owners and advertisements. Stopping at the sign that the old man described, Juvia was glad that the line wasn't too long, it shouldn't take too long, just in case, Juvia got in line and worked on her clothes for Natsu.

The wait was the worst thing Juvia has ever experienced, there was this one lady that was looking at Juvia as she made Natsu's clothes, that wasn't the problem, the irritating thing about it was that she kept criticizing every single one of Juvia designs choices. She would spout mean things like 'Bad choice of colours' or put out a question on the lines of 'Why a sash?'. To top it all off, she would rant on Juvia's skills. It was so ridiculous that even other people in line was shooting hatred towards the lady, despite the comments not even being directed to them. The one thing that was keeping Juvia from blasting the woman with magic was that Juvia was too focused on making clothes for Natsu.

At one point, the woman had enough of watching and extending a hand to Juvia's piece.

"Why don't you let me handle it from here, anymore from you and you'll be wasting such good fabric." Since Juvia was handed the opportunity to unleash all her rage at once, Juvia took it before her logical side formed a thought. Sadly, Juvia had to retrain herself or she might be in court for murdering someone, Juvia summoned a whip of water and tripped the lady before she could touch Natsu's clothes.

"Please get away from Juvia before things get more ugly."

"You brat! I was just trying to help you!" The lady got on her feet, her make-up ruined by dirt and sand.

"Juvia never asked, now please leave, Juvia endured your abusive comments, but if you get close enough to touch these cloths, Juvia won't show you mercy." Juvia added to the intimidation by summoning several water blades behind her.

"Y—you wouldn't!" Fear was clear in her eyes, regret was absent from those delusional orbs.

"Then other people behind you will." The woman turned around and stared down at the faces of rage from the crowd. The pressure generated from this was quite impressive, it scared the lady so much that she left the line while spewing more abusive language. "Thank You so much for helping Juvia with that woman."

"No problem." The man behind Juvia replied. "Marge is always like that."

"That sounds like trouble, Juvia can only imagine how many tourists were turned away by her."

"Ehh…I think it's in the hundreds by now, we try to correct her attitude for a while now. I'm sure you can see the results yourself."

"Next!" A tired voice came from inside the shop, signaling that Juvia's wait is finally over. Juvia entered the shop, giving Juvia the spectacular view of delicate and alluring accessories on display. Rings adorned with gems that Juvia can identify and even more that Juvia can't identify. The same situation happened with necklaces, bracelet, and other jewelry. "Welcome! What do you need?" A muscular man stood behind a counter with a cheery smile. His hair was covered with a damp cloth in fact, most hair was covered, a leather apron holding multiple tools in the pocket. In the back, a forge was fully active, spewing out intense heat that increased the temperature in the room.

"Juvia heard that you can make a bracelet that helps with motion sickness."

"I can, it'll take a while."

"How long?"

"Around a week."

"Juvia thought that you have lots of requests. This seems more reasonable that Juvia thought."

"Well, most of them, I already finished. I have some free time to do other requests."

"Then, can you send it to this address?"

"Fairy Hills huh? You're a Fairy Tail wizard?"

"Yes."

"Are you wearing it or someone else?"

"A guy that looks like you, Juvia thinks that you can use your own arm for a model."

"Good to know! That'll be thirty thousand Jewels please, just give me half of the amount now and give me the rest after I deliver it, I'll send one of my students to deliver it. And if it doesn't work, please bring this back to me along with the wearer so I can see what's wrong."

"Got it. Here you go." Juvia handed the man fifteen thousand Jewels without much complaint, Juvia honestly expected more, so Juvia left the shop with a happy face.


Juvia finished the set of clothing by the time she reached to her fifth destination—the other attempts failed. Juvia did have the liberty of adding a symbol on the back of the jacket, a wave that wraps around itself. Juvia gingerly placed the clothes in Juvia's backpack and held it tight. Juvia wonders how Natsu is doing right now? Will this be enough to win? No matter, the next place that Juvia is going, should have great results, if the rumors are to be trusted. Juvia is going to get a book!

Arriving at Notting City, Juvia searched the antique store for the book. What Juvia is looking for is a book of memories, like the name implies, it allows for storage of memories inside its pages. Since Natsu likes collecting items that can memories behind it, Juvia figured that the book would be a good thing to add to Natsu's impressive collection. Juvia choose this as a gift because Juvia has been thinking about pricy things to give Natsu. However, thinking back on the great times we had, none of them were at the cost of an arm and a leg, just spending time together is a joy. Which is why Juvia came here to preserve out memories a bit more vividly.

From what Juvia has heard, these books have been found in garage sales and second-hand shops because people that sold them has no idea what they are. So, Juvia is hoping to do the same.

"Welcome!" A lady in her sixties with a gentle face greeted Juvia. "My, aren't you a young one to enter my shop, take your time."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, most of my customers are around my age that is looking for a something that want back, a book they liked, an old lacrima that isn't manufactured anymore, things that take you down the memory lane. So, it's rare to find a youngster in my shop."

"Juvia understands. However, Juvia is here to find something similar."

"Have a look around then, I'm sure you'll find something that suits you." Juvia looked at all the books that looks so fragile, just by touching it, it'll crumble away. Juvia was looking for faint hints of magic that maybe leaking out of the pages. Seeing how Juvia can't find it, Juvia tried to ask the lady.

"Do you have a book that can store memories?" The lady grew surprised and rummaged underneath the counter. She brought out a book the size of a large picture book—only with the thickness of a grimoire—with a groan, Juvia rushed over to support the book for the lady. Juvia got a close look at the designs of the book. A tree at the middle was fading from the years, that's about it. There might've been other designs at some point. Now, scratches and dents replaced them.

"Thank You…my…bones aren't…like they used…to." The lady had some light exhaling form lifting the book. "Here's the book you wanted, it's an older model, the newer ones are lighter and smaller but, they're all sold out, this is the only one I have left."

"Juvia will take it, it doesn't matter how heavy it is, a small price to pay for something that can be experienced once."

"Very true, very true." The lady now has a sage-like look, glazed with fondness. "Tell you what young lady, in the spirit of Christmas, I'll give you this book for free, think of it as a senile old lady not knowing how to run a business." The lady smiled warmly, as if satisfied at knowing something.

"Are you sure? Juvia is more than happy to pay for it."

"There's no need, I'm clearing up inventory, no one is willing to buy it because of how heavy it is.

"Thank You!" Juvia bowed at the lady's generosity. "Juvia will make sure it's taken care of."

"Then, I'll teach you how to plant memories into it. First, place you hand over the book cover, then think of a memory you want to store. Finally, pour magic into the book, the lacrima inside it should do the rest." Juvia rested her hand on the book cover. What should Juvia store inside? Juvia decided to store the night of her confession. Juvia gently poured in magic to the book, not knowing if it can take a more forceful load. The book glowed slightly with magic power.

"Now," The lady opened the book to the first page. "to look into the memory, lightly tap the image you want on the pages, if you want, you can label what the memory is." Juvia tapped the image of Natsu being held by Juvia. The very scene that Juvia thought of entered Juvia's mind, exacting how Juvia remembered it.

"What happens if Juvia can't remember the thing she wants to store?"

"Then you may pour more magic and hope that the book can search the things you've forgotten. Of course, the sooner you store something, the more vivid it'll be."

"Thank You so much!"

"Just take care of this man." The lady pointed to Natsu in the picture.

"Yes!" Juvia went to the market, asking the lady to keep the book until Juvia comes back. After realizing that the book was heavier than Juvia originally thought, Juvia got a board from the market and had some water dolls to carry the board along with the book.

Juvia has the most valuable present, what is your move now Natsu?


Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed!

So for the poll, I may have to extend the time, really isn't that much people voting, thought that may not even matter seeing the small but great, audience I have.

The next chapter should be the results of the competition, since there really isn't a good way for me to see who's winning, I'll have to write both outcomes and post the one that you guys wanted to see. So, it'll take more time than usual. Maybe a good thing since it'll give me more time for the votes to come.

Anyway, until then, thanks for the great comments and please go vote on the poll, it really means a lot to me.
