Chapter 2
Juvia stared at the woman who crashed her special day. She couldn't believe this was happening. She saw Lyon and Gray prepare to attack. Everything was happening so fast!
"Stop! Don't attack Juvia's sister!" Juvia shouted, standing up. Confusion spread across the guests face. Juvia had never mentioned having a sister before.
"It's been a long time, Juvia. Years, in fact. And with that whole Tenrou island incident, I believe I'm slightly older than you now… a far cry from the baby sister I used to be." The woman stated, fixing her blue-teal ombre hair. Taking off her black hooded trench coat and draping it over the nearest chair, she made her way to the front of the room.
"Juvia didn't know where Tempest was! She hasn't heard from Tempest since Juvia left home!" Juvia lifted the bottom of her dress, so she could walk around the table. She gave Gray and Lyon looks telling them to relax. But both were too on edge.
"I was 7 ½ years younger than you. By the time I was old enough to follow you, that guild you were in, Phantom Lord? It was already disbanded. And there were no more letters from you, to tell me where to look next. I went to every magic game looking for you. And then I finally found you. After all that time, I didn't know how to approach you. And so months later, here we are." Tempest finally reached the front of the room, and stood in front of Juvia, arms crossed. She was 2 or 3 inches taller, but other than that, they had the same build. They looked fairly similar in face as well. But Tempests eyes were a silvery blue. They were very clearly related.
"Juvia is so sorry!" Juvia cried, and grabbed Tempest into a hug. Tempest hugged her back, and then moved away.
"I won't forgive you that easily, but that's enough negativity for today. Let's get back to the party!" Tempest cheered, fist in the air.
Gray knew he shouldn't feel uneasy, but with the way the woman entered the building, he knew there would be a fight tomorrow. He watched her make her way to the bar, and order a drink. Both the guilds seemed to be watching her, but nobody really approached her. He turned his attention back to his friends at the main table. Juvia and Lyon were having a hushed conversation, Natsu was helping Lucy stand to go to the restroom for the hundredth time, and the others were having their own merry conversations. Gray removed his tie, and with a sigh, he approached the woman at the bar.
"I knew you'd be the first to come over," Tempest smiled at the dark haired Fairy Tail mage. "You haven't relaxed one bit since I got here. Have a drink!" The woman made a gesture to the bartender and a shot was poured for Gray.
"It's hard to relax, after a stunt like that. You couldn't have waited for a time that wouldn't be rude to your sister?" Gray quipped.
"I could've interrupted the wedding. I've been here the whole time. I missed my sister. I couldn't wait any longer. And as for the way I entered. Juvia wouldn't have expected anything else from me" Tempest snarked.
"So I'm guessing you are a rain woman as well? Judging by that rain storm." Gray gestured for another shot of cinnamon whiskey.
"Something like that." Tempest grinned cheekily. She motioned for another shot as well. Music began to play and Juvia and Lyon shared their first dance, all the while Gray and Tempest were matching shots and passing snarky comments.
Gray woke up the next morning with a killer hangover, and a bad feeling. He got dressed as quickly as he could, put on some shades and left for the guild hall. He knew that Juvia and Lyon would be there for breakfast before headed off toward their honeymoon. Everything was calm Juvia and Lyon were seated at the bar, all cuddles and smiles, while Mira served them a hearty breakfast. Gray slid onto the stool next to Lyon.
"Can I get some of that Mira?" Gray greeted the eldest Strauss sibling.
"Sorry Gray, honeymoon special!" Mira smiled with her eyes closed.
"Just a coffee then." Gray laughed. He slapped Lyon on the shoulder. "Have a safe trip today."
"Thanks Gray. For everything. Especially keeping Juvia's sister entertained… has anyone seen her today?" Lyon asked the rest of the guild. The only answer came in the form of a burst of water from outside, that came through the window, snaked around all the guild members, and stuck Juvia lightly on the shoulder.
"Tag, Juvia's it." Juvia jumped from the bar and ran outside, followed closely by Lyon and the rest of Fairy Tail. Tempest was laying on a deck chair by the pool, wearing a blue bandage style one piece bikini.
"Good morning Juvia! Ready to face your past?" Tempest asked, removing her sunglasses and standing up.
"Water Slicer!" Juvia shouted in response. Her sibling laughed and dodged the attack easily. Only to end up jumping directly into a sphere of water. "Juvia has plans today little sister." Juvia stated turning around. Tempest seemed to struggle for a moment. Her mouth was open, and it looked like she was drowning, until the sphere disappeared.
"Juvia's water never was the tastiest! WATER DRAGON ROAR!"
