Gruvia: at the GMGs Chapter 5 ============================================================== Ok guys! Sorry if it's a little late, but here's chapter 4! The reason it's a little late is because I wrote two more chapters for this story and started on my second fanfic, but my first fanfic with NaLu. Then, as I was editing and adding onto all of those documents, my internet crashed and I lost all the files. So sorry if it's a little late! ============================================================== "What in the world is going on?!"

Juvia looked up at Lyon. He didn't look angry; he looked rather confused, and somewhat worried.

Lyon is probably worried about Juvia's feet. Juvia thought. But how can I explain to him how Tiamizu is here? I don't even know the whole story myself!

"It's time for me to explain. How old are you now, mommy?

"Juvia is 17."

"Have you gone on any dates with my daddy yet?"

"Yes, just yesterday evening I was with Gray."

"You were with that insolent ice mage? He doesn't deserve you Juvia! And what do you mean by 'daddy'?"Lyon ment to say it to himself, but both Tiamizu and Juvia heard it.

"Lyon. In the time where I am from, you are considered my uncle. I call you nee-san though, because I see you so often you are more like a big brother. When you came to the inn kitchen this morning asking for an assistant, I couldn't believe it was you. So, I didn't say anything. Please just listen, nee-san. Please, please try to understand this." Tiamizu teared up. This story was a hard one to tell, and Lyon being infatuated with Juvia wasn't helping her get through this.

Tiamizu took a deep breath. She looked over at Juvia, who was watching and listening intensely. "A year from now, mommy, you will still be happily dating daddy. There will be a grand festival after next year's Grand Magic Games, and that is when daddy proposes to you." At this, Juvia and Lyon gasped. Then again, how else would Tiamizu have been conceived?

Tiamizu continued. You get married about 5 months after the about a year after you are married, you are... Um.. How does one say that you... Um... Stay, per say, childless for that amount of time. Yes, you waited about a year to... Um.. Have a child." Tiamizu said, blushing. She knew how babies were made, since she had attended school and was ahead in her studies. She had to take classes a few years ahead of hers, she was such a genius. (That is also why her vocabulary is so large, for all you people wondering how she speaks so well for such a small child.)

"Then of course, I am born 9-10 months later, and you raise me until I am 9 years old. That... That is when... When everything went wrong." Tiamizu teared up, but couldn't stop the flow this time. She had been happy to tell them about Juvia's happy marriage and all, but what came afterwards was absolutely heart breaking.

"You once told me the story of a girl named Lisanna, mommy. About how she had died and then came back from the dead. You said that even though you hadn't know her when she 'died', you felt the greatest of emotions for her. You even wanted her for your partner in the S-class exams."

"You said you got to know her very well, and were saddened by just the thought that such a wonderful young lady had been gone for all that time. You told me that story when I was 8. Not long after, I had my 9th birthday party. You took me out to eat at my favorite sushi bar. It was my favorite because it was the same restaurant as the one in Crocus, where you and daddy had your first date. There was one built in Magnolia sometime between my birth and my 9th birthday, so you and daddy took me there. But, on the way there, something awful happened."

"The carriage we were riding in was powered by magic, and the driver was low on energy. He fainted as we were driving there, and the carriage crashed. Now you will know why I mentioned Lisanna. You, daddy and the carriage driver lived, but I..."

"You 'died', just like Lisanna, didn't you?" Juvia asked. Juvia had tears streaming down her face. Was this her future, or would it change since Tiamizu was here? Tiamizu nodded, to choked on tears to say anything. Lyon was taking all of this in. He didn't care anymore if it was Gray who was married to his beloved Juvia; all he cared about was getting to the bottom of this small child's story.

When Tiamizu recovered, Juvia asked her another question.

"If you died like Lisanna, how come you are here, in the time before you are even born?"

"That," Tiamizu said," is where my story differs from Lisanna's. When I died in the carriage wreck, I went to Edolas. But when I got there, I arrived at the time before magic was robbed from that world. I was in the time when it flourished."

"Likewise, when I got back from Edolas, I was in the time before I was born. But I will tell you how I got back, now. I was in Edolas for 3 years. In the time I was there, I learned magic. I am a water-make wizard. Not a rainwoman, and not an ice-make mage, but a cross between both. It was the only magic I allowed myself to learn, as a memorial of my parents."

"After I had learned quite a bit of water-make magic, the kingdom opened it's first Anima. As soon as I had learned all the water-make magic I could, the kingdom was running low on magic energy. The kingdom then opened the first Anima. When I realized which world they were taking magic from, I jumped into the Anima. I wanted so badly to be back home. Miraculously, I actually passed through the Anima without it being reversed. I guess that since you and daddy's counterpart were only my age at the time, the world was ready to put me back where I belonged. Then, when I arrived back in Earth-land, I hadn't been born yet. I asked the first person I saw what year it was. It was around 14 years before I was born, so I knew that it would be 12 years before you and daddy started dating. But, during the 2 years that you weren't dating, I looked all over for you. I had arrived back in Earth-land in Crocus, and I knew that that was where you met, so I stayed there for two years. I used the time to practice my magic. I realized soon after I arrived, though, that I was in a 6 year old's body. Even though I was at the age where none of the tragedy had happened, I retained all of my memories. And now... Here we are."

Everyone in the room was crying now. Juvia had started crying when Tiamizu told her about the carriage wreck, and Lyon had just started. Tiamizu had been crying since the carriage wreck part, too.

Then, a maid came in.

"Miss Juvia Lockser, somebody is here to see you-" the maid stopped when she saw them all crying on the ground. She saw Juvia's bandaged feet, Tiamizu in Juvia's arms, and Lyon crying a few feet away from them.

The maid went back downstairs to tell Juvia's raven-haired visitor that she might need some time.

"It looks as if her feet are cut, and she is holding a small child, who works here at the inn. I noticed that they look alike. There was also a white-haired man there-"

The raven-haired man had his attention caught at the mention if Juvia's feet being hurt, but at the mention of white-haired man, he walked past the maid.

"Where is Juvia's room? I think I know what is going on. I need to see her."

Gray didn't know what was going on. He just needed the maid to think so, so that he could get past her.

The maid told him that Juvia was in the second floor, room 3. Thanking the maid, Gray headed that way. When Gray walked in, Juvia looked up and motioned for Gray to come to her. She caught him in a tight embrace, with Tiamizu between them. Gray didn't know what had made her so emotional, or who this little girl between them was, but he understood that Juvia needs him. Lyon put a hand on Gray's back, but said nothing. Gray understood that Lyon hadn't done anything to hurt Juvia, which is what he though had happened. He just sat there, with Juvia and the small child in his arms, and Lyon behind him with a reassuring hand. ============================================================== Soooooo, how do you like the revelation of Tiamizu's past, eh? I hope you like it! I will try to post a chapter on time next week, and I will hopefully have my NaLu fanfic started for you guys. See you next time! ==============================================================
