Chapter Five

Please R&R, Thanks much!

Juvia hides behind the Sakura tree in the Fullbuster sibling's verdant front lawn. Her abdomen rubs against the rough bark as her behind wiggles in envy. "But I wanna live with Gray-sama too."

Gray is relaxing with all four limbs stretched out, basking in the midday sun and soaking up the warmth. He scratches his toned abdomen and yawns.

Rin appears with an overflowing tray in hand. "I made you some lunch." Gray sees eye to eye with ham sandwiches, fruit salad, carrot sticks, lemonade, and freshly baked apple pie. But, for three people?

"Are you having a friend over? I mean, don't mind at all," he asks curiously.

"No. I made some for your lady friend. Why don't you invite her over?"

He cringes. "Do I have to?" He complains.

"Yes, and while your at it make a quick chair. We only have two, so use your ice make or whatever."

Gray obediently does as he is told.

Juvia hates to admit it to herself, but the girl's food was absolutely delicious. She looks up from her plate at the girl. Somehow, Juvia could just tell that SHE was better with Gray-sama than THIS girl.

But, the way that she was casually interacting with Gray and the way that she looked so happy with Gray-sama, it made Juvia sad and jealous.

"Gray-sama?" she asks quietly.

She looks over from his conversation with Rin. "Yeah?"

"Do you want to go somewhere with me tomorrow?"

"Um, well, OUCH!" he turns to Rin who gives him a look. He looks back at Juvia. "Well, I guess."

Juvia's eyes widen in surprise. "R-really?" she asks standing up quickly.

"I guess," he says. "So... Tomorrow at South Gate Park?"

Juvia waits in the park, half of an hour early. She is fidgety. Obviously, that girl was not treasuring Gray-sama since she was letting him go on a date with her. This was her chance to steal him away from her. She was wearing a blue tank top with a bow on the front, a long white skirt with a leg slit, and boots.

Her eyes drifted around. What a beautiful day it was. The sun was shining, the birds were singing. Today, Gray-sama would be hers.
