"What..What the hell are you talking about Claire?", asked Gray. Claire smiled and said, "I think you're my prince in shining armor!" His face suddenly became red, "Don-Don't say stupid lies like that!" He started yelling at Claire. "You don't have to be so mean about it.." whimpered Claire, "And I'm not lying about it..." Gray's face became even more red. "S-Shut up! Stop talking about it! And how am I your "prince" if I never really saved you from anything." She pouted, "Oh well, maybe one day!" She suddenly quickly walked away, then turned around and smiled. Gray just stood there thinking about what she said. "One day, one day, one day" dashed around his head. He screamed out loud and Ann was staring at him, scared to ask why. He mumbled and walked to the library.

"Mary, what would you do if someone liked you, but you don't like them back?", asked Gray as soon as he walked into the library. "Wait what?" stumbled Mary, dropping a few books. Gray walked toward her and helped pick up the books, "Sorry, its just that something happened, so I was just looking for some advice." Mary smiled "Its okay, I would do the same if I were you." They both reached out for a book and their hands touched, together they blushed. "Um...sorry about that, Gray," whispered Mary as she turned around, and smiled a little bit. Gray nodded, "It's also my fault, sorry." He stood up from the ground, and began to walk near the door, "I think I should go back to work, I left a little early. I'll come back at the usual time." Mary nodded, and waved as he walked out the door. As soon as he left the library his chest began to beat

Instead of going back to work, he ran to the Goddess Pond, thinking about what had happened. First Claire had talked about him being a prince, and his heart began to beat for Mary. Gray took off his hat, and screamed, then thought about what Claire had said to him before. "Why do you keep quiet whenever you have your hat on, while when you have your hat off your true self shows? You shouldn't keep all of your feelings and thoughts all cramped up in your hat, you should take it off and be yourself." At that time Gray thought it was a bunch of crap, and now he understood what she meant. Suddenly Claire came out of nowhere, "Gray....why were you screaming?" she asked as she stretched and yawned.

Gray stared at her in shock, wondering why she was here. "Claire, why are you here?", he asked slowly. Claire just stared and then mumbled, "I was sleeping, but you woke me up by your scream." He turned a light pink, they both sat down next to eachother, their backs facing the Goddess Pond. "Sorry about that, its just that so many things have happened so far..." She stared at him with large eyes, Gray was wondering what she was staring at, was there something on his face? "What are you staring at?" he slowly asked. "You just look really good without your hat on," she said smiling. Gray quickly turning away, hoping she wouldn't see his red face. He had never blushed this way around Claire, why now? "St-Stupid!" he shouted, "What?" asked Claire curiously. "Don't say things like that with a straight face. You should say that to someone you like, not some friend!" Claire stood up, and smiled, "I'm not stupid because I'm saying it to the right person."
