"JET!"

uugh, my life is so weird. I mean, I know I said I wanted to do something normal, but I didn't actually mean it. And, certainly not with jet. I mean, I barely know the guy. But he seems perfectly content. Brill. Plus, I cant help feeling sorry for juvia. She's stuck with the pyro. But still, id rather him than jet. I mean JET! Why are you so mean to me fate?

Juvia pov

Grey samaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Why did juvia get paired with salamander instead of her beloved grey-sama!

Ok… so now what? Master still hasn't told us what to do yet. How does he expect us to know. He's so secretive he didn't even tell gildarts the pairs. And he tells gildarts pretty much everything! All I know is that its probably his intention to drive us all to edolas and back. And so far- its working!

"Right you brats. The rules of the trial-

no magic allowed

you must choose to live at one of your houses

you can choose to give up, but there will be a punishment

and finally- one of you must all work at the guild to earn your living."

"Wait, so you're only using us to have more employees at the guild" I said, astonished.

"Basically, yeah. Now, enjoy your slow descents to hell!"

uurgh, that man will be the death of me one day.

"So, beautiful, where should we live for the week?" Jet has finally invaded my personal space. Briliant.

"Listen, I have no intention of leaving my house, so we will live there. Also, I bet natsu will be there too. And gray. That way, I wont have to interact with you as much." I say, considering my options.

"Hey Luce, can me and miss gloomy here stay at yours for the trial" how is he so predictive?

"Sure,natsu. Oh, and grey, you can stay as well. You too , laki."

"well, since you offered… wait… is juvia staying too?" said a confused grey.

Grey POV

"Wait… is juvia staying too?"

I asked, catiously.

"yes, grey-sama! Juvia is staying at love rival's house too!" said Juvia.

"Good. Because you are so much better than laki. I would much rather marry you, no offence laki."

I said, smoothly. You probably think I'm joking, don't you. Well guess what…I'm not.
