"Levy! Look look!" Levy looked up at her friend Lucy who was looking out the window with wide eyes.

"Lucy? What's going on out there?" Levy got to her feet and started to walk over.

"IT'S RAINING!" Lucy cried pushing the curtain open wider to reveal the darkening university campus and the heavy rain that was suddenly pelting down from heavy black clouds. Students dashed about in their usual summer clothes, Levy herself wore her favourite orange dress and Lucy was in a blue and white top and short blue skirt. Not the clothes for wet weather.

Levying eyes widened as she watched, the campus was now clearly on a slight slope, water was quickly gathering as strong winds threw leaves from the trees which were beginning to block what few drains the university had. "Oh no... Lucy! It's flooding!"

"Oh... Shit..." Lucy bit her lip. In this moment there was a huge roar of thunder which made the two friends hug each other tightly in fear.

At this point the senior librarian, Professor White, called over. "Away from the window girls! It's starting to flood, we're flooded in and some students are going to be taking shelter in here, I need you to go down into the basement, at the very back there should be a load of boxes with towels and blankets inside. Fetch them up here!"

The two girls, finding relief in their professors orders scurried to the back room to go down into the basement. They found the dusty boxes, four of them, and managed to get them upstairs. "They're so dusty." Lucy sneezed as she shook one to get rid of the dust.

"They will be..." Professor White nodded. "We haven't needed to use them for 7 years. There was a sudden storm then as well... I had only just started working here, we were in here for two days."

"Didn't they put in any safety measures to stop it happening again?" Levy asked sounding a bit shocked.

"Only the lower campus is effected which is just us and the art buildings, they put in a few drains but that was about it."

"That's stupid." Lucy sighed.

"I know." Professor White nodded her head. "Now, Levy, please go light the fire in the reading room, Lucy you start getting people blankets and sending them to the reading room. Levy when you done help Lucy."

"Got it!" The two girls split off and Levy quickly got a huge fire roaring in the fire place before helping Lucy shake out and distribute the blankets and towels to the students that trickled in from outside, cold and wet. The stream was just slowing to a halt when one last student arrived, levy presumed he was a student anyway, though he was very tall and wore several layers of black clothing and his black hair was a long spiky mess around his face a shoulders. Lucy recoiled away from him and even Professor white looked a little fearful of the large male that stood in the library entrance, dripping water from his hair and clothes onto the floor. Levy took a deep breath, she'd faced a lot in her life and she wasn't going to be scared by a guys fashion choices. She hurried forward with two towels. She threw one on his hair and the over she stretched to wrap around his shoulders. Around to his front again she looked up at his face that his hair was hiding a smiled. "Come with me and well get you dried by the fire ok?" She didn't let him finish before she started walking and he trudged after her.

"Levy!" Lucy leant her head on Levy's shoulder where she was sat in the reading room, on one of the many comfortable couches, reading a book.

"What is it Luce?" She asked quietly.

"You were really brave to talk to that big guy earlier..." She whispered. "He's really scary.. I mean.. I wasn't wrong, look at him now he's a bit drier...So many piercings!" She gasped.

"Lucy there's nothing wrong with that." Levy sighed.

"I know, I know... But still!" Levy rolled her eyes.

"Luce... Ya know... We've been sat here a while now... And that jock over there hasn't stopped staring at you." She whispered nodding towards a pink hair boy who was sat with the rest of his team, they had been jogging as training when the storm hit and had taken shelter in the library.

"No way?" Lucy glanced subtly his way. "Oh my god he's hot!"

"Go talk to him then!" Levy chuckled nudging her friend.

"What do I even say?" Lucy asked

"Make it look like you're doing the rounds, talk to a few little groups before going to his and make like you're making sure everything is ok." Levy suggested. "Just stay relaxed."

"Ok... Ok I'm going." Lucy got up an started to walk about. Once she was gone Levy picked up her bag from beside her and pulled out the journal, she could finally check it, tonight had been way way way too much like that bit of the story that had appeared last night, a storm and a dark stranger. She opened it up and re-read the first page, sure enough it all matched what had happened so far that evening. She took a deep breath and turned the page. She smiled when she saw a new passage written.

~Amongst the other city folk that sheltered in the library the stranger sat alone in the corner, talking to no one.~ Levy glanced up and sure enough the boy was sat on a arm chair in the far corner. She quickly looked back to the journal in case he looked up as saw her. ~ The girl watched him with careful and interested eyes until her boss told her to get back to work as she was sent to collect some food from the store room to give to the townsfolk. When she came back with the bread she had found she started to distribute it to the people. However she was knocked by someone as she feel straight into the lap of the dark stranger. She gave a hasty apologises and scrambled up but the man just nodded his head and let her get back to her job. Later as people began to drift to sleep as the storm raged on outside the girl found herself watching the man once again, only this time he looked up, he raised one hand and beckoned her over...~

Levy blushed at the thought that this might happened to her. She really really didn't want to fall into the boys lap... Ok maybe she wouldn't mind that much but... It would be really embarrassing! She looked across at him and suddenly an idea occurred to her. She had once read a book where when you wrote in it a reply would appear and she wounded if, her journal could tell stories it might answer her question. She pulled out a pen and wrote out 'Hello?'

After a few seconds words started to be written in the beautiful swirly handwriting. ~Hello Miss Levy McGarden.~

'You know my name? How? What are you?'

~My name is Mavis Vermillon, I put my spirit in this journal to help people find true love.~ the writing replied.

'Love?' Levy was gobsmacked, was this... Mavis person trying to tell her that the boy in the dark clothes... Was supposed to be her true love?

~Yes, I know he doesn't looked like much Levy but he just needs someone to give him a chance, and you have the perfect forgiving temperament, you've already caught his eye since you had the guts to approach him earlier.~

'Wow ok... One more question... Why didn't you tell me this is the first place?'

~That's an easy one, people tend to freak out when a book starts wiring out conversation, a story is much less scary. But you were smart enough to try talking to me! You're the first in a long time!~

'Really I-' At that moment Levy was called my Professor White. '-I've got to go now,' she quickly scribbled down her goodbyes before putting the journal away and going to the teachers side.

"Levy, would you mind going into the kitchen out back as gather up whatever food you can find?"

Levy smiled knowingly and nodded. She glanced to where Lucy was sat talking with the jocks. "Shall I get out the event water heater? Get some tea and coffee available?" She asked, some people where still a bit damp and shivery, the black haired guy included, but he was trying to hide it.

"Good idea Levy, I'd ask Lucy to help but it looks like she might have found a bit of a silver lining over there." The teacher chuckled

"That's ok, I've got it." Levy smiled at her teacher before headed off to the back rooms of the library. While there she smiled to herself as she gathered what biscuits and other food she could find, and set up the water heater to heat up. Hopefully when she went back up, she'd get her opportunity to talk to him.
