Chapter 2
The train ride
Juvia and her team made it to the train station in a little under two hours. juvia's team quickly got on the train and there were six seats facing each other. Natsu sat by the window facing Lucy already getting sick. Erza was beside Natsu facing Gray. Wendy was bedded Erza facing Romeo. Which put Natsu, Erza, and Wendy in front of Lucy, Gray and Romeo. Happy slept on Lucy's lap while Carla slept on Wendy's lap. Juvia had no other choice but to retreat to the back where a seat was available. Erza watched as Juvia walked towards the back of the train to find a seat. She watched as Gray fought the urge to go sit with her. "Gray, why don't you go sit with Juvia?"
"Why?" Gray asked himself (The truth is I really want to what am I going to tell Erza) um" was all Gray said.
"Gray" Erza said we are fairytail mage's we don't leave our family to sit alone at the back of the train. "Go sit with Juvia, you know she wanted to sit with you anyway."
"Whatever " Gray told Erza as he stood up, and walked to the back of the train. Noticing a tall, long faced man whose hair was blonde, and black. That man looks very familiar thought Gray.
"Gray-Sama?" Asked Juvia "do you need juvia's help?"
"No!"Gray quickly said he hadn't realized he was walking so fast.
"Um,Juvia is this seat taken?" He asked, hoping his cheeks were not that red.
"Um, no!" Juvia is sitting alone.
" Mind if I sit with you then?" Gray asked.
"No, Juvia does not mind Gray-sama can sit with Juvia" said Juvia.
"Oh ,ok thanks!" said Gray his mind going back to the guy he had passed earlier as he sat down across from Juvia. The day long train ride was quiet except for the occasional grunts, coughs, and sneezes. After their train came to a stop at their destination, Lucy woke up Natsu, who somehow managed to sleep most of the ride. Erza woke up along with Wendy and Romeo. Lucy had been awake for hours having noticed a tall, long faced man with blonde and black hair, when she watched Gray get up and go to the back of the train, to sit with Juvia at Erza's request.
She couldn't shake the thought that the man was very familiar, but she just could not place who he was or, how she knew him. Gray woke up to the sound of Juvia sighing in frustration. When they had first boarded the train she had stuck her big bag in a storage compartment, but was now regretting that decision because it was stuck and she was too short to get a good grip on the bag to forcefully yank it down.
So Gray got up and walked to Juvia he reached over her and grabbed her bag and pulled it out of the storage compartment with ease and handed it to Juvia. When Juvia grabbed her bag Grays hand had yet to let go and for a brief moment his hand rested underneath juvia's small yet soft hand. After realizing that they were not alone on the train Gray let go and shook his head.
