" Ooh, a carnival? " Mira smiled widely. After everyone gattered in the hotel, Lucy told them about the carnival.

" Yup, the opening is tomorrow at 09:00am and I think we should all go and have fun! What do you say? " Lucy told them. Everyone agreed.

" It sure sounds like fun! Right, big brother? " Lisanna said excitedly. Elfman nodded.

" I'm in then! " Levy smiled.

" So am I! " Erza said.

" I can't wait for tomorrow! Oh, we should tell mom and dad, Natsu. They have to know! " Wendy told Natsu.

Natsu nodded and crossed his arms over his chest. " Yeah, sure. "

" Well, I guess I'll come if it means riding on the fastest rides. " Gajeel grinned.

" It's gonna be awesome. " Loke said.

" What about you guys? " Cana asked turning around to look at Juvia and Gray, who were a few feet away for each other.

Gray looked at Juvia, who was looking down, avoiding Gray's stare. She looked up and smiled.

" Sorry guys, Juvia's busy tomorrow. " Everyone stared ast her confusingly, except Gray, who was looking down.

" Busy? " Mira asked.

Juvia nodded. " Juvia sorta... has a date. " A few gasps were heard.

" Really?! That's wonderful! Are you two going out on a date? " Mira asked smiling widely looking at both Gray and Juvia.

Juvia quickly shook her head. " No, it's someone else. A friend. "

Mira blinked. " Oh. " she sounded disappointed but smiled quickly. " Well, I'm happy for you Juiva. Hope you have a great time. "

Juvia nodded. " Thank you. "

Lucy looked at her worridly. " Are you alright, Juvia? " She placed her hand on her shoulder.

Juvia looked at her and smiled a little. " Juvia is just tired. She'll go back to her room now. "

Lucy smiled and hugged her. " Okay. " With that, she said bye and left them.

" What about you Gray? " Lucy asked and looked at Gray, who was staring at Juvia's back before she vanished. Gray looked at them.

" Sorry guys. I'm not feeling well. I'll pass. Bye. " With that, he turned around and ran.

" Ookay, that was weird. " Cana said after a few seconds of silence.

" Yeah, they've been acting weird ever since they came back. " Lisanna said.

" Do you think something has happened to them? " Lucy asked worridly.

" They'll be fine, Luce. Have faith in him. I know Gray when I see that look on his face. I'm sure it has something to do with Juvia, but whatever it is, he won't give up on her, he'll protect her and take care of her. " Natsu said. Lucy smiled at him and he smiled back.

" I guess you're right, Natsu. You've known Gray longer than Lucy has. " Erza said.

" Let's hope they make out. " Cana received a few amazed, shocked stares and wide eyes from her friends.

" Up, up, make up! They make up! " she quickly said, laughing nervously.

" Juvia, Juvia, wait up! " Juvia heard someone shouting her name. She knew who it was so she continued walking a little faster, not looking back, until she felt his hand holding her wrist, turning her around so he could look at her.

" Juvia, please. Don't go out with Lyon, he'll only use you like all the other girls. " Gray said desperatly. Juiva only gave him a cold stare.

" Why should Juvia listen to you? Lyon was very nice to ask Juvia out because he was concerned about her, he cared about her, helped her, comforted her. While you, you hurt her, you broke her heart. " She was on the verge of tears.

" I never meant any of that. You have to believe me, I was nervous, I didn't know why I said all of that! "

" But you did. And Juv-I heard everything, you sounded like you wanted to forget about it, that it never happened. To me, honestly, it was the best thing that ever happened to me, it was magical, wonderful. But now I realized that it was a mistake. It was never meant to happen. " she turned around to leave, but Gray won't give up that easily. He pinned her against the wall, one of his hands holding her hands behind her back while the other rested next to her head. They were awefully close, their noses almost brushing.

" That kiss we shared was the most amazing and wonderful kiss I've ever had. And I don't regret it. Not one bit. The moment I saw you with Lyon, I was burning with anger and jealousy from the inside, but I tried to control it. I don't wanna loose you, I care about you a lot. Please, don't go. " he whispered, placing his free hand on her red cheek.

Juvia tried to glare it him, but it was no use. She didn't know what to say. " I d-don't believe you. "

Gray looked at her and carresed her cheek. " Would you believe me if I do this? "

Before Juvia could question him, she felt his soft lips placed on hers.
