Cana stared wide eyed at the person in front of her.
" Laxus? " The said man stared at her surprised.
" Oh, hey Cana. I didn't know you were here. " he scratched the back of his head.
" I didn't know you were here either. " Of course, she wished he wasn't here.
" So, you're here with your friends? " he asked.
Cana nodded. " Yes, and I have to go. Bye. " She went passed him but he grabbed her.
" Cana, wait. I wanna talk about last night. " Laxus pleaded. Cana only gave him a glare.
" I don't know what you're talking about. " She tried to pull away, but Laxus was strong and he only gripped tighter, making her flinch.
" Listen, I'm sorry about what happened last night. I asked you to come with me for a drink- " he was cut off.
" Asked me?! More like you forced me to come with you for a drink! I told you I had plans with my friends, but you wouldn't listen! I-I can't believe I agreed to go with you! Do you have any idea how my friends were worried sick about me?! " She yelled at him, not caring that the people around them were staring, she was so furious at Laxus. " We even got drunk, I can't remember anything from last night! And you know what, my friends found me passed out outside your bar! What was I doing there?! You probably kicked me out like a stray dog! Well you know what, it was a mistake going there, actually it was a mistake meeting you here! " Her eyes were filled with tears of anger and her fists were clenched tightly. Laxus could only stare at her with a sad look on his face.
" I-I'm sorry, Cana. I- "
" Cana! " Erza ran to her side and looked at her worridly. " Are you alright? " She then turned towards Laxus and gave him a cold stare that gave him a shiver down his spine. " What did you do to her? "
Cana put a hand on her shoulder. " It's nothing Erza. I'm alright. " she smiled weakly. " Let's just go. "
Erza looked at her then gave Laxus a glare before nodding. They left, leaving him alone.
They headed towards their room and Erza unlocked the room and they both entered. Cana layed in her bed and closed her eyes, falling asleep. Erza decided to stay with her, incase she needs something.
At the beach:
Mira, Lisanna, Elfman, Wendy and Loke were having lunch, eating sandwiches, chips, etc.
" Hey, where are Erza and Cana? " Lisanna asked, looking around.
" Erza called me and said that Cana wasn't feeling well, so they're both staying at the hotel. " Mira answered, drinking her lemonade.
" I hope she'll be alright. " Wendy said worridly. Loke patted her head.
" Don't worry Wendy, I'm sure it's nothing serious. " he smiled. He then turned towards Mira. " So, you told us that you saw Gray and Juvia. What happened? "
Mira smiled. " Nothing really, we just saw them eating ice cream together and talking. "
" They were having great time together. " Lisanna added.
" What they said. " Elfman muttered. Loke and Wendy raised their eyebrows then shrugged. As they talked about something else, Mira remembered what happened earlier.
Flashback:
" What do you guys want for dinner? " Mira asked as she and her younger siblings headed towards a super market.
" Hmm, I don't know. I've been thinking about chicken and mashed potatoes. " Lisanna said.
" Spaghetti Bolognese? " Elfman suggested. " Or maybe lasagna? "
Mira thought about it. " Lasagna sounds good. What do you think Lis? "
Lisanna nodded. " Sure, sounds tasty. "
" I'm sure that the others would like that. Oh, and we should invite Natsu, Lucy, Wendy and the other girls. "
" Are you sure? I mean I don't mind, it's just how are we going to fit in the room? " Lisanna asked.
" We have a big balcony. Besides, it would be a great night. " Mira said smiling. Lisanna and Elfman agreed. Mira looked forward and saw something or more like someone familiar.
" Hey, wait a minute. Do you guys see that? " Lisanna and Elfman looked forward and their eyes widened. They quietly stepped closer and saw Gray and Juvia. But what mostly shocked them was that they were kissing!
End of flashback:
Mira signed. She hoped they would be alright and get together. They looked like a cute couple.
Somewhere else:
Juvia was running, tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe what Gray said. Didn't he like her? Didn't he enjoy the kiss? Why did he have to break her heart?
Another flashback:
Juvia and Gray were looking away from each other, feeling embarrased. After they were caught kissing from the Strauss siblings, things got pretty awkward, until Juvia decided to speak.
" Juvia n-needs to go to the restroom. " She said.
" I'l go with you. " Lisanna suggested and both girls walked away.
Mira looked at them and turned around to stare at Gray with a big smile. She opened her mouth but Gray cut her off. " Don't say anything. "
" I just wanted to ask how are you and your date. " Mira said innocently.
" W-what? This isn't a date! We're just friends, talking and eating ice cream. " Gray blushed lightly.
Elfman shook his head and crossed his arms. " Don't deny it, Gray. We saw you. "
" That kiss must have been special. Now I feel guilty for interrupting you. " Mira said, looking down.
Gray groaned. " It was just an accident. And what are you doing here? Were you spying on us? "
Mira raised her hands in defense. " No, honest! We were heading towards the super market to buy groceries for tonight's dinner. We were just surprised. " Gray signed and looked down.
" Gray, it's alright if you like her. She's a pretty girl. " Mira started.
" You don't understand. I only met her yesterday! Sure, we hung out yesterday and we're hanging out today! We started to get to know each other but then I saved her from an accident and then kissed her! I don't know what came over me! "
" Hey calm down. You like Juvia and you surely liked that kiss. It was love at first sight! But I just want you to know that I'm happy for you that you found your true love! " Mira smiled, putting a hand on his shoulder.
" No, I don't like Juvia and that kiss was an accident! It would be better for both us to pretend it never happened! " Gray said seriously and looked at Mira. He was confused as he saw her looking at something over his shoulder with a panicked look on her face. Elfman had the same expression.
Gray had a bad feeling about this. He gulped and slowly turned around. He immediately regreted what he said. Juvia was looking at him wide eyed and tears were starting to form in her eyes. Lisanna blinked and looked at Juvia worridly.
Juvia only shook her head and ran away. Gray panicked and ran after her. " Juvia! "
The Strauss siblings stared at them. Then they looked at each other. " Oh dear. " Mira said.
End of flashback:
Juvia was exausted, she can clearly hear Gray calling her name and his footsteps. Why was he after her? No, she didn't want to see him, not after what he said. She took a deep breath and started running again. She turned a corner and bumped into someone, making her fall on the ground.
" Oh I'm sorry miss. Are you alright? " the man apologized, extending his hand towards her. She took it and looked up at the man and her eyes widened.
