*Here's the next chapter people. As usual if you enjoy it tell me in a review. Check out my next story if you've got the time. I'll be returning to school soon so i may not get to write as much so I'll try to get a decent amount of chapters done before then. Well here's the next chapter. I really enjoyed writing this story and I hope you enjoy reading it.

They had finally finished cleaning. It had surprisingly taken all day because Gray refused to allow Juvia to use her magic. He used the excuse that people shouldn't use magic lightly but the truth is he didn't want any Juvia coodies (not sure of the spelling) all over his apartment. The thought made him shiver. All he could imagine was millions of tiny Juvias scurry around all shouting 'Gray Sama!", the horror. Presently the three of them were sitting in Gray's study.

Lucy was shocked that Gray actually had a study and that he had so many magic, but truthfully she wasn't that surprised since Gray had always had an interest in her novel. The truth is that Gray had always had an avid interest in magic and had studied extensively. Most of his magic books were centred on ice magic since he had started his collection with the intent of reversing iced shell. Later on broadened his scope of magical focus which is when he picked up warp magic. Once his demon slaying magic had begun to go awry he started study types of magic associated with them, that's when he learnt manifestation; the ability to give magic tangible shape similar to Jose's magic. He combined manifestation with static ice magic and the result was Daedalus.

The thing that caught Lucy attention was a desk in the corner of the room. Atop it were two picture frames. One from what she could tell was Gray, Lyon and a lady who must've been Ur. The other was of Gray and two people she didn't know but the man especially seemed very familiar. There was also a book on the desk she couldn't quit see the title, but she could see the author, Ur Milkovich. This so happened to be the book containing the spell Iced Shell. Scattered across the desk were sketches of what Lucy recognised to be Gray's ice make constructs. She had never considered that Gray put such effort into mastering and perfecting his magic. She always thought he was like Natsu and preferred to use fist. She had a new respect for him.

"So what would you ladies like, my treat?" asked Gray.

"Juvia is happy with anything Gray-sama picks out for her." Figures thought Lucy and Gray.

"Well I'd like pizza since your offering." said Lucy. (Not sure if Fiore has pizza but whatever)

So they made their way to a nice little restaurant with outside seating and began enjoying their pizza. They enjoyed the occasional small talk and they tolerated Juvia's attempts to feed Gray. Suddenly gray felt a chill go up his spine. He got this feeling that he was being watched.

"Don't you guys look cozy." said Mira who had somehow materialized behind Gray. He couldn't explain why but he could see a dark aura surrounding Mira.

"He-hey Mira. What are you doing here?"

"Hmm… Oh I'm sorry am I interrupting something?" Gray wasn't the only one feeling awkward. Juvia and Lucy both got the feeling like they were doing something wrong.

"No! You… see I was just treating them. You know for helping me." Gray was sweating. Why was he sweating? Suddenly he got another chill.

"Well aren't you popular Gray." Gray's neck slowly turned to the side as if his neck joints were rusted. Standing there was none other than Erza Scarlet. Now Gray was usually a brave guy. He was one of the few people who were willing to stand up to Erza back when she was much stricter. But something insides Gray's head was telling him to get his ass out of there this instance. So that's exactly what he planned to do.

"Well ladies I think it's time I get going." He got up from his seat and side stepped right, the only direction available to him. He was met with a wall, well not really a wall. Walls weren't made of cute blondes and brunettes. Blocking his path were Casandra and Cana. Something snapped in Gray's mind. He felt like teleporting out of there but he didn't know why. His eyes kept shifting from girl to girl then he got another chill. Out of the corner of his eye he spotted pink.

…

At the top of a building not too far away a certain love goddess was laughing hysterically at the situation she created with her powers. "Oh Gray your flustered face is so adorable."
