Yeah! It's finally chapter 3. Please Enjoy.

Three days later, Gray was still wondering what Juvia meant by, "Just watch, Juvia can do it." He couldn't get her out of his mind, Juvia was the school's 'Queen' she was suppose to be different more stuck up. But every time he would look at her or even think of her, her smile seemed to be embedded in his brain.

When the last class of the day was over, Gray headed to Juvia's class to ask the class representative for Juvia's work from this week.

After he collected her work he headed to the office to retrieve her home address. While walking down the street Gray was just hoping that these next two weeks would just fly by, he really didn't want to tutor, and he really didn't want to compete in a swim meet, however now that he really had no choice in the matter he was going to do his best.

He reached the last house on the left and stared at the building, it was super nice -in his mind anyway- and he kept looking at the mailbox in front of the house to make sure it was Juvia's. But the mailbox indeed said 'Lockser', so he knew he was in the right place. When he first rang the doorbell there was no answer, the house was still. So he rang it again, and again, and... again.

Seconds later he began to hear shuffling from inside of the house, then a loud crash and before he could open his mouth to yell Juvia's name the door flew open. At first Gray could say he was shocked, but that wasn't the right word and all he knew the sight in front of him was hysterical. Gray tried to stare at her without laughing but the task was more difficult than he imagined, there stood Juvia covered in head to toe in layers of clothing from a hat on her head to snow boots on her feet and about six scarves wrapped around her in his mind she reminded him of a overly dressed nun. While caught in his daze of laughter he forgot he was just standing there.

"Gray, what are you doing at Juvia's home?" Juvia said putting down her left crutch, which to Gray looked liked she made it into a weapon more than something for supporting her leg.

"Ah, Juvia" Gray said through gritted teeth, he was still finding it hard not to laugh. "I'm suppose to tutor you Friday's didn't you get the memo."

Juvia's eyes grew wide.

"So, can I come in?" Gray said flatly he wanted to get out the heat soon, an staring at an overly dressed Juvia was making the heat feel worse to him.

Juvia shifted side to side on her crutches. As Gray watched her it seemed like she was deciding if she would let him in or not.

Gray sighed; she couldn't make this easy on him could she.

"Ano... G-gray," Juvia started to stutter, and Gray noticed she looked more nervous than usual.

"Alright, I get it" Gray's voice interrupted Juvia. See looked up in shock.

Gray looked at his watch all he wanted to do was go home and do something, but he knew he had a duty to fulfill.

"Just meet me at the library in 30 minutes, if you don't show up that means you don't want me to tutor you."Gray turned around and smirks. "It wouldn't make a difference to me, that just means less work for me."

He continued walking towards the city. Gray left Juvia watching his residing figure, she thought it was funny how he dealt with situations he was cool and hard-working yet lazy. She smiled, but then she mentally kicked herself for thinking about him.

Gray sat at the table leaning as far back as he could without falling, he was actually hoping Juvia wouldn't show. But he knew that it wasn't going to be a likely situation she would do her part, and he supposed that she didn't want to fail because of her absence in school. While he kept thinking about Juvia more and more questions about her appeared in his mind. 'Why didn't she want him to come inside?'

'Why was she always fidgeting and nervous around him?' and 'Why did she always speak in third person?'

Gray groaned, why was SHE the only thing on his mind for these last couple of days. He decided he just stop, it couldn't be that hard.

That was until she interrupted him.

"Ano G-gray, Juvia thought you would have left already" Juvia said interrupting his train of thought.

Sitting up Gray stared at his watch; it was indeed after the time limit that he gave her.

"Oh, I had nothing better to do so I thought I'd stick around." Gray said gathering all the materials together so he could tutor her.

"Why are you late anyway?" He asked.

"Juvia kind of had a hard time getting around," she said motioning towards her crutch. That made Gray feel like a huge jerk not only did he make her hobble over there on her crutch, but if he had actually left she would have to walk back.

He gave her a motion for her to sit next to him. Gray saw Juvia furrow her eyebrows she leaned her crutch against the table an instead sat in the chair in front of him.

Gray stared at her, did he really smell that horrible or do something bad to make her not sit beside him. She was acting weird since he met her at her house and to top it all off she still looked over dressed. Yes, she did indeed remove some of her many layers that she had on before but she was still sporting what looked like a long dark blue formfitting trench coat, thigh-high brown boots, and a blue Russian looking hat with a butterfly to top it off. Gray hated the heat and just by looking at her he felt really hot.

Later on the tutoring session began, and Gray started to teach Juvia all of the lessons from the start of the week. He found out that

Juvia was really easy to teach and he liked that. It was less work for him in the long run, he did however notice anytime he would lean forward or get closer to her she would inch away from him. Confusion was etched on his face, did she find him repulsing or was that the trait if being a "Queen".

When he got out of her daze he realized that they were done for the evening, he watched her finish her practice problems and was about to start packing up.

'It is now ten minutes from nine o'clock. The library will be closing in the next ten minutes. Thank you for coming and good night.'

The loud speaker then shut off, he glanced at his watch to see that it was indeed almost nine. ' Had time seriously gone by that fast,' he thought. Gray turned to Juvia to see if she was done. However instead of seeing Juvia pack up he saw her staring intently at him.

"Oi, Juvia w-what is it?" For some reason Gray was getting nervous under Juvia's stare.

Juvia's stare grew into a smile, and after a brief moment of a considerate amount of smiling her face started to turn nervous and shy. Juvia put her hands together in her lap and started to shift from side to side.

"Ano... Gray, um tomorrow morning would it be possible to meet Juvia at the school pool."

Gray watched her let out a heavy sigh. 'What's happening?' Gray thought. One minute she was all smiley then the next she was bashful.

His final analysis was that this girl was 100% crazy.

He was still kind of confused so all he could muster were a few nods as his answer.

Juvia smiled again, she placed her belongings in her bag and took her crutches.

"Great," she said "meet Juvia at the school pool tomorrow morning at six a.m sharp.

Gray kept nodding until he heard the time.

"What!" He half screamed, remembering where he was. "I don't even get up that early for school."

Juvia just laughed and waved him off, he was surprised because he found that her laugh half-way calmed him down. He shook his head ' this is not the time to be thinking about that.' He scolded to himself.

"Well Juvia has to get going," she stated as she hobbled off on her crutches.

Gray quickly gathered his thing, "Wait, I'll walk you home."

This time Juvia was the one surprised, she could feel herself fidgeting.

"Ah, Gray really doesn't have to do that for Juvia."

"It's alright I want to." Gray said as he lifted her bag off of her shoulder. "What kind of guy would I be if I didn't walk you home this late at night? Besides it's not like I bite." Gray chuckled.

Juvia sighed looking at him; she knew he was stubborn but still...

At 5:45 am Gray Fullbuster was just waking up he really hated his luck. Why of all times did Juvia want to go to the pool so early in the morning, he walked to his window and stared at the sky the sun had barley even risen and since it was Saturday it made everything even worse. He was suppose to be sleeping, that is a high school's student number one rule. 'Sleep all day, stay up all night'.

He dragged himself to put on some clothes, and then to grab something to eat, he knew he was going to be running late but he didn't care it was too early to care. When he was done he grabbed his swim trunks and made his way to the school it was now 6:15.

Juvia was too excited for today, what she had in mind was what she believed one of her best plans yet. She checked her phone to see the time it was now 6:30 she had now been waiting an hour. Yes, it was partly her fault for getting there at 5:30 but she just couldn't wait. After a while she started to regret getting there so early the crutches were starting to her under her arm and it wasn't like she could go inside Gray was the only one with the key to access the pool.

Waiting there made her nervous not just because she was in the wide open but because she was spending the whole day with a boy she barely knew. Juvia fretted what might happen, if he was anything like the guys at her old school she knew what might happen. Her fear would get stronger and she would have to be home schooled, and she wanted anything but that especially with how her parents are. As long as Gray kept his distance Juvia believed that today would go without a hitch.

She finally saw his figure in the distance slowly jogging over to her. He was now about an hour stood there waiting for him to get to where she was, she thought it was weird he was running with no shirt on. What was even weirder to her was that she was watching his every move, and she found out she loved the way his hair glistened in the light off the still raising sun. She shook her head trying to get the image of him out of her mind, until she noticed her was standing right in front of her.

She heard him speaking, "yea sorry I'm late the bus doesn't come to my stop so early in the morning so i had to walk."

Juvia still stared she was still staring at him her eyes followed a bead of sweat that ran down the side of his face and disappeared underneath his chin. She then saw how toned he really was strong arms and legs, toned chest, it was like his body was the greatest artwork Juvia had ever seen because she couldn't help but staring, until her view was blurred by Gray's hand waving back and forth in front of her face.

She snapped out of her daze, "What!" she squeaked.

"Oi, you're staring off into space what you'd wanted to do so early in the morning anyway." Gray shook his hair temporary hypnotizing Juvia again.

When she snapped out of it she held out her hand, "The key please."

Gray gave her the keys as he watched her hesitantly open the door, then turn around and drag a large white board into the pool area. He was amazed Juvia could do so many things while on crutches.

"Come on Gray," Juvia called from inside the building.

When Gray walked in he saw Juvia standing in front of the white bored with a marker. Her eyes told him to sit. He sat down on the cool tile floor about to ask a question when Juvia began writing.

'Welcome, to Juvia's training lesson'

Gray stared at the board, 'so this is watch she meant when she said'

"Just watch, Juvia can do it."

Juvia's lecture started with the simple things, most of those things Gray already new but he still listened. If she was going to work this hard he wouldn't deny any of her efforts by not paying attention.

But after an hour of her lecture Gray was wondering if it was ever going to stop. She just kept talking and talking and talking.

"Make sure to breathe deeply, before diving that way you'll be able to control your breathing more while swimming."

Then she would throw out vocabulary that he wouldn't know and every time she saw confusion etched on his face she wrote down the word.

"Streamline- is a teardrop contour line that offers the least possible resistance to a current of air, water, etc."

Then she would continue on in her lecture.

"About three strokes from the wall, one hand reaching ahead—beginning the next stroke, keep the one by your side at your side"

"Pull the leading hand through to your side as well"

"Tuck in your chin"

"Bend at your waist"

By the end of the fourth hour it was already noon and Juvia did not seem to notice at all, Gray flinched he was uncomfortable sitting for four hours straight with no breaks his butt fell asleep and now it felt like he couldn't feel it at all.

His attention was recaptured when Juvia let out a sigh and put down her pointer, something he never knew she had until now.

"Alright, it is time to put your knowledge to the test" Juvia held something up "and wear this."

Gray stared at the full body swim suit, "isn't my regular suit better?" He questioned "the less constricting clothing the easier it is to swim right" he added. He wanted to do anything but wear it, it was too much material for him he felt suffocated by just looking at it.

Juvia slightly twitched with his question, "Ano... that is true, but." she couldn't finish her answer. She was about to start stuttering when suddenly the suit was grabbed out of her hand and gray started walking towards the changing room.

"Fine, then let's just get this over with," Gray said while vanishing into the bathroom.

When Gray got back it was training, training, training. He realized Juvia wasn't one for yelling so every time they took a break she would point out the things that he needed work on. On one of Gray's other breaks he found Juvia asleep, to him she looked like one of those helpless puppies you find on the street. He saw her flinch as if she was having a bad dream and he heard her slightly start to mumble incoherent things. Gray leaned in closer it see if he could make out any words.

"No..."

"No, misters don't!"

"Don't touch Juvia there, get away!"

Her mumbles started to sound more like sobs and Gray straightened himself up. His face showed discontent he couldn't wrap his brain around the words he spoke. He knew Juvia was odd and she could be dreaming about anything but the way those words came out and then Gray started to remember every time he would go near her she would flinch, move away, or like what happened the first time she ran.

"D-did Juvia doze off?" Her words brought him back from his thoughts. He nodded.

It was now about 8 o'clock, they had spent the whole day at the pool. Gray thought Juvia would have said time to pack up, however.

"Let's get in a couple more" she said sleepily. Juvia wobbled a little leaning on her crutch.

Gray eyed her worriedly. 'As long as she just stood there she would be fine,' he thought.

The moon was in position over the skyline window, it made the pool area darker but it was as if the pool itself glowed and shined a bright light.

Gray got ready to dive; he looked over his shoulder one last time to get a glance at Juvia. She was still shaky and her eyes look tired.

He dove in feeling the water encircle him and listening to the splashes his arms made. Until he heard a splash that wasn't his, he quickly came up from the water and searched for Juvia. One of her crutches was sprawled at the edge of the pool. Gray put his goggles on and dove.

He caught a glimpse of her hair at the bottom of the pool and with the power that was left in him he pushed against the ripples in the water and caught her hand. Gray needed to get her out as fast as he could with the way her legs were now she would drown, and she would drown fast.

Pulling her body up to the surface of the pool was an easy task and as soon as her head was above water she coughed up any fluid that was in her lungs, however she still didn't open her eyes.

Gray jumped out of the pool and dragged her body out with him, she almost felt like dead weight, but he knew she was still alive he could hear her heart racing a mile a minute.

Once he had Juvia in his arms bridal style, he started to shake her calling out her name.

"Juvia... Juvia, Juvia" the pain obviously heard in his voice.

Gray knew he should have put her down to lay on the ground but he just couldn't, he didn't want to let go of her body.

He felt his arms shake, and he looked down Juvia's eyelids started to flutter. She looked around her, and she hazily saw Gray. His face was adorned by the moonlight and the water droplets hung of his nicely defined jaw line. She wanted to speak but there was only one thing that came out her mouth.

"Gray-sama?"

Dun -dun- dun
