Hello everyone, Magic's here. Enjoy my fanfic, and well, further author notes at the bottom. I'm a newbie writer (I just never published my works!). Further AN is at the bottom of the fan fic. Enjoy.

The story is going to be a bit different with the original story, to fit the arc. Well, vote for anyone you want Juvia with. I'll set the poll for Natsu after the pair for Juvia has already been determined. Remember, fellow readers, I'll leave the pairing for the two in your hands.

Disclaimer : I don't own Fairy Tail. It belongs to Hiro Mashima-san. I only own this storyline or fanfic, and my OC(s).

(Set after the Edolas Arc)

Juvia, as usual was sitting in the guild bar, happily waiting for her 'Gray-sama', only to know that he was nowhere. Sure, the S-Class Exam is near, and half of the guild are excited with the fact, especially Natsu, who exclaimed that he is 'fired up', Elfman saying 'manly, man' stuffs, it's not rare for everyone to take up mission at this rate. In fact, everyone has just been expecting this annual examination for S-Class candidates. So does Juvia, but she doesn't really cared since she just want to be with Gray-sama, She thought.

"Mirajane-san, where is Gray-sama?" The water mage asked while sipping her glass of water.

"Um... Juvia... I think he went on mission with Lucy." The barmaid replied simply as she noticed hint of sadness in the water mage's voice.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen Luce these days, Mira. So she's gone with stripper huh, I thought she said to me that she doesn't feel well." Natsu replied with his usual dense expression

"Love rival." The water mage's aura soon darkened, scaring the unfortunately terrified fire dragon slayer.

"Juvia, calm down. I'll beat that stripper as soon as he arrived with Luce." The dragon slayer smirked as he exclaimed that he's fired up.

The guild door soon slammed. Apparently, the two was revealed to be Gray and Lucy. Mirajane's guess must have been right. Or maybe she's into her shipping.

"So how was it, Gray, Lucy?" Mirajane asked with her sweetest smile. Her questions soon being expanded and the three mages soon have private conversation that Juvia wonders about.

Before Mirajane could asked further about the two, she was stopped in her track by the Ice Wizard and the Celestial Wizard. Cana, who was drinking, stop herself when she noticed the serious face between the two mages of Team Natsu, and the funny thing is, Erza is smiling fondly at the two.

"Did the two of you completed the mission?" Mirajane questioned as she saw the smile between the two. Her plan is definitely working.

"Yes, thank you, Mira. You too, Erza." Gray replied as he smile towards the two matchmaking mage.

"Wait, could we announce something everyone?" Gray shouted amid the guild's noise.

In an instant, everyone went silent. Natsu, who was fighting with Elfman, stopped as soon as he saw his Celestial nakama.

"Luce! You're back! What happen? What did the stripper does to you? What did he do? Tell me!" Natsu nagged the blonde mage as he prepares to charge on the Ice Make Mage, only to earn himself a slight chuckled by the Stellar Spirit Mage.

"It's okay, Natsu. He's done nothing. Gray you can continue." Lucy replied as she calmed the angry Natsu, who was sending an angry glare at him. Definitely angry glare.

"Okay everyone, now, we're officially dating." The Ice Mage announced

Mirajane was the first one to congratulate the now dating mages. And due to that, both are going to quit Team Natsu and form their own team, Team GrayLu. Erza also seem to be happy with that. What else? Everyone seems to forget the existence of the water mage, Juvia Lockser. It is as if she didn't exist.

The guild cheered, and the celebration was louder than the usual noise caused. Fairy Tail is indeed Fairy Tail after all, it wouldn't be Fairy Tail without party, noise, chaotic, and brawls. Gray and Lucy has just announced that they were official couples. Juvia, felt completely turned down, and betrayed, leaved the guild, crying non-stop. Soon afterwards, the azure sky turns dark and rain started to pour. Drip drip drop. Nobody minded, and everyone just congratulate Gray and Lucy. Once again, her hopes were turned down. Why does Gray-sama ends up with Love Rival? Shouldn't she be the one Gray-sama loves? She asked herself. Tears streaming out of her eyes, and she continuously wiping the tears off her eyes. Today was just too sad for herself too contain. She walked softly outside, goodness no one notices her. Good enough. She didn't feel like she could deal with any other nakama of her. Why did everyone forget her affection for him?

Natsu watch from afar of how her best friend has just become an official couple with his rival, Gray. He felt, strange, but he did congratulate them.

"Congrats, stripper." Natsu applied his signature grin as he walk to Gray, who were holding Lucy's hand

"You too, Luce." A hint of sadness could be felt as he uttered the name of the Stellar Mage.

"Arigatou, Natsu. Come on, Gray, let's go." Lucy replied as she walked hand in hand with Gray.

"Bye stripper, and you too, Luce." A hint of sadness could be heard as he once more mutter her name. What's happening? She's her nakama, he supposed to be celebrating with his usual celebrating expressions, but this time, it's rather a hint of sadness, and loneliness. He still remembered those time he would break in to her apartment, the time he spend with her on their first mission together, the Nirvana incident, how he want to save her when she was tightly kept in the prison in Edolas, uprooting the rainbow sakura, most of all, saving her from the fake Salamender, Bora.

With that, Natsu disappeared and walk to the dark alley near the guild, only to found someone familiar to him, hint of cry in despair could be heard, much like his feeling. I have nothing to feel about Luce. Damn, she's with stripper now. Forget it, Natsu.

Natsu walked up to the figure who was apparently looking to the ground. He walked up to the figure in a despair manner, only to be surprised of who it is.

"Juvia!" The fire dragon slayer exclaimed as he saw the bluette water dragon slayer, her eyes were red due to crying from the same morning.

"Natsu-san. What are you doing here? It's nighttime already. Juvia thought you'd probably be at your apartment." The water mage spoke up as she stared into his onyx eyes. What to find him surprising is that Juvia does not do anything to stop Gray from loving Lucy, or be mad at him, even, he didn't notice Juvia was walking out, and hiding in the dark alleyway near the guild.

"Juvia. I really didn't expect you to meet me right now. I don't know why… I felt weird… I thought this place is the best to solve my problem. By hiding, and reflecting at myself." Natsu replied absentmindedly, earning himself a chuckled and smirking water mage.

"Natsu-san, answer me, the truth. You are in love with love rival, is Juvia right?" The water mage still looking serious, wiping tears flowing from her eyes. She stared into his eyes. His onyx eyes.

Oh Mavis. Moment between them has always been so awkward. Oh, how Natsu wish to avoid the water mage's question. What if he answers the truth? She will be teasing him further!

"Mm…. Let me explain it furthermore. If it's not clear for you, Juvia, I don't love her! I only love her as a Nakama, the same love I develop for Erza, and also you, and all of our guildmates. We're just friends or nakama, that's all." The fire dragon slayer answer bluntly. He just wanted to escape from her, yet she is his friend and a guildmate. What did he need to do in order to escape her?

"You sure, Natsu-san? Juvia found it obvious that you're in love with love rival. The way you glance at her, how you break to her apartment according to love rival, the way you rescue her, it's obvious you love her and you couldn't stand seeing the person you love with someone else. Love. Love. A painful, yet powerful bond." The water mage found herself tearing up at her last statement. She still can't forget what has happen this morning. It's something she shouldn't remember. The rain just gradually gets harder, due to the sadness she experienced. River of tears kept on streaming from her eyes, her eyes are red, and bag of eyes could be seen because of her tearing up since morning. Natsu, who hasn't drop a single of his tears, hugged her. He hugged her tightly, and embraced her.

"Don't cry, Juvia. I'm feeling the same pain as you did. We both feel pain. Cheer up, okay? What if we…" Natsu paused, while looking back and forth, in case someone watch the private conversation between the two.

"What Natsu-san?" Juvia, with her tears still flowing through her azure eyes, flinched when he heard the dragonslayer paused

"How about if we leave the guild and start a new guild? And this time, we're going to make sure the Fairy Tail are going to be the top list of our enemy, and we're going to make them payback for what they've did." The fire dragon slayer whispered while waiting for the water mage's answer.

Cut. Well, I'll leave the cliff hanger here. Please review, if you do want me to update. Well, I'm going to decide the OC myself. Well, guys, I'm just going to leave the pairings to all of you, I'll set up the poll tomorrow. So do look forward for the poll establishment in my profile. Flames, critics, suggestion, are welcomed. Feel free to PM me, if you have any suggestion. And, well, Ja ne! Do look forward for the poll, fellow readers, since the number of OC(s) for Juvia and Natsu's male guildmate hasn't been decided, so I'm not going to post it any time by now. Probably soon.

Magic-chan.
