   Juvia glanced around the guild hall, curiously. "Um... Lucy?" she turned to the blonde mage sitting next to her, "Who... who is he?" she pointed to raven haired guy sitting at a separate table across the hall.

   "Gray?" Lucy glanced sadly at her, "He's one of the strongest Fairy Tail wizards here..."

   She frowned, 'Then how come Juvia's never seen him before?' she shook her head, "What kind of magic does he use?"

   Lucy's eyebrows rose, "Ice Make Magic."

   "Oh..." Juvia's eyes narrowed. Something was nagging her... Something wasn't quite... right...

   The doors to the guild hall burst open. "JUVIA, MY LOVE!" Lyon marched inside towards her.

   The whole guild hall fell silent.

   'Since there's no Gray in her life... does that mean that... she might like Lyon?' Lucy's eyes widened.

   "EH?!" Juvia drew back several inches, "L-Lyon?!"

   "Juvia! My darling, I heard that you were hurt!" Lyon declared.

   "Um... J-Juvia has to... uh..." Juvia looked over to her for help.

   She let out a sigh of relief, 'Nope... It's still the same old triangle...' Lucy smiled at Lyon, "I'm sorry, but Juvia was just about to go get some groceries for me."

   "Then I'll come with you!" Lyon exclaimed.

   "U-uh..." she sweat dropped, "I meant alone..."

   "Juvia is fine getting groceries by Juvia's self..." Juvia mumbled as Lyon reached forward to take her arm.

   "I know the perfect place to buy groceries! This little shop off on the south hill has the most beautiful garden, and not to mention the best pies! There's bakery with just about anything you can possibly imagine there, and-"

   "Would you just shut up, Lyon?" Gray grumbled, "She doesn't want to go with you!"

   "Here we go again..." Lucy sighed.

   "Excuse me, but it seems that Juvia doesn't care for what you think," Lyon replied indignantly, "For she doesn't seem to remember you."

   "I don't care," Gray flushed a little.

   "Really?" Lyon raised his eyebrows.

   "All I know is that she'd be better off forgetting you," Gray fumed.

   "Are you trying to pick a fight?" 

   "Maybe I am!"

   "Bring it on!"

   Gray looked back at her, "Hey, Lucy!"

   She sighed and dug out one of her keys, "I'm on to it... OPEN: GATE OF THE LION! LEO!"

   Loke appeared next to her, still holding the frying pan, "Lovely as ever, Lucy."

   "I have a boyfriend," she smirked before continuing, "Now go knock out Lyon!"

   "Wait... YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND?!" Loke shouted.

   "Yes! Now do what I say!"

   "BUT-"
