Juvia got to the guild early the next morning, but that was no surprise to Mira who was busy taking down decorations from last night. Her mind ran backwards. She had finally got lunch with Gray. Alone. Everything was perfect to her and she felt like the day was going to be so... amazing, to say the least. She couldn't wait to see Gray today, she couldn't wait to see how he'd react towards her after last night. To most people, it wouldn't seem like much, it was just dinner. To Juvia however, it was perfect. It was like a run up to one of her fantasies. Now that she thought about it, it even kept her from day dreaming. Not once did she space out and have thoughts that blew the current situation completely out of proportion. Just thinking about Gray and last night made her heart speed up and colour slowly came to her cheeks. She decided she would take her mind off of it for now and she had the perfect distraction: Help Mira. Mira's face lit up as she thanked Juvia for offering her help.

As the pair cleaned up the guild and returned it to it's former self, the mages who made up Fairy Tail strolled in through the large double doors, immediately taking seats at the various tables, with not one of them offering to help clean up. They had only taken down about half of the decorations from last night when a raven haired ice mage walked into the guild and immediately caught Juvia's gaze. She completely lost her will to help Mira and stood there, admiring Gray as he walked over to an empty table and sat down. Juvia jumped in surprise when she heard a voice in her ear.

"It's alright. I can manage the rest". The bluenette took the former S class mage's permission to leave and made her way straight over to the ice mage, taking a seat next to him, getting as close to him as possible. In truth, it made Gray a lttle uncomfortable, but he was already at the end of the bench and getting up and just walking away just seemed too cold so he was left with just sitting there.

"Gray-sama, Juvia really enjoyed last night". He just groaned a little in response. It was obvious that he needed a little time alone but Juvia was just too... well her, to notice.

"Juvia was wondering...", Gray knew exactly where this was going.

"Juvia, it's like 10 in the morning. I need some time to wake up, not everyone's as lively a you know?" Juvia's beaming smile diminished slightly as she acknowledged what he hd just said and stood up to walk away. Before she could move, Gray grabbed her arm, earning her attention.

"Come talk to me later, ok?" There was a small smile on his face as he said it, renewing her smile as she nodded and walked away. She went straight back to helping out Mira with the remaining decorations, which wasn't many thanks to Mira's hard work and dedication to clean up the guild.

By the time the guild was all cleaned up, it was 11:30. The rain woman contemplated going over to talk to Gray, who hadn't moved from his spot and was now had a drink in front of him, but figured it might be best if she gave him a bit more time alone. She was at a loss of what she could do. She couldn't do a job because she really wanted to talk to Gray today, she was too bothered about wanting to talk to Gray to talk to anyone else and she didn't have enough money to go into the main town. Juvia sighed in boredom wondering what she could do. She threw her previous thought to the wind and walked over to Gray. Talking to him was the only thing she wanted to do at the moment. She took a seat next to him before sparking up a conversation.

"Gray-sama?"

"Yes, Juvia". He seemed more eager to talk than before. That was a good sign.

"Juvia really enjoyed last night". Colour rushed to her cheeks as she thought about how close she had been to Gray. The ice mage nodded, unsure of what to say. He'd never really been in this situation before. "Juvia was wondering if we could do it again sometime". Her voice was filled with hope.

"Juvia, I...". He'd rejected her so many times before but this time felt different. It seemed harder. He thought for a moment, collecting his thoughts and putting words in the order that he wanted to say. It shouldn't be too hard, just say I'm not too interested. Simple. Before he knew what was happening, he was speaking. "I'd like to, yeah". Juvia couldn't believe her luck. Not just once had her Gray-sama agreed to go somewhere with her, but twice. Her life just kept on getting better.

"How about tonight?" she offered with a wide smile on her face.

"Yeah, ok. Tonight." He confirmed. As Juvia walked away, he mentally cursed himself. He'd said exactly the opposite of what he'd wanted to. But it was too late to back out now.
