Chapter Three: Amusement Park Date

Juvia's POV

"Will Gray-sama like Juvia's dress?" I thought nervously.

"Juvia." Gray-sama looked me in the eye.

"Gray-sama, have you heard? We should try to bond."

"Juvia, I know you really do love me-"

"I understand, Gray-sama. You do not love me back. But we should try to have a bonding moment anyways." Gray-sama itched his head and nodded. I turned around to see Lucy giving me a big smile. Juvia can do this. She just has to control her emotions.

"So where are we going Juvia?"

"Oh. Gray-sama, we're-"

"Juvia, if you want me to be your friend, then you should just call me Gray. Gray-sama is too formal; and it makes me feel uncomfortable." Gray-sama, my love for you is uncomforting? No matter, I will call you Gray now, but in my mind, you will be Gray-sama.

"Okay, Gray. We are going to the amusement park, because Lucy said that they have nice rides. Besides, Mirajane organized something called her 'OTP Bonds.' I don't know what it is, but she wants us to all bond with each other, pretty much."

"Sure, Juvia. Do you want to start at the Ferris Wheel?" He asked. His voice was so smooth, and I could feel my heart fluttering. There were butterflies in my stomach, and I couldn't deny it.

"Sure," I squeaked out, not hiding my blush. He smiled, took my hand, and we stood in the line for the Ferris Wheel.

Gray's POV

My heart is beating so fast. Juvia looked wonderful-blue fits her perfectly. We were standing in line for the Ferris Wheel and Juvia was blushing crazy. I saw Natsu give me a wink as his arm was around Lisanna's at the cotton candy stand. I rolled my eyes, but did the same to Juvia anyways. I couldn't let Natsu get a girl before me. Not going to happen, Flamefreak.

"G-Gray," she stuttered, "w-what are y-you doing?" Her face turned a deep red.

"Listen, Juvia, trust me. Everything will work out." She just nodded and then turned away to her imagination. We had finally gotten to the front to the Ferris Wheel but soon Natsu and Lisanna were nowhere to be found. I spotted Lucy walking around alone, but I couldn't leave Juvia. I didn't want to hurt her again.

"Juvia, I had a lot of fun today."

"Really, Gray-sama? I mean, really, Gray?"

"Yes, Juvia. We should do this more often, I think I've learned more about you."

"Gray-"she stopped suddenly, staring at a park bench. I turned to see.

"Lucy-san?" she called out. Lucy looked up, and then ran.

"What happened to Lucy?"

"I don't know Gray, but you should go talk to her. You do love her after all."

"That's not true..." I muttered.

"Good night, Gray."

"Good night, Juvia. And I think you should talk to Lucy. You're her friend."

"Okay, Gray." Juvia left to go to her room and I stood there, dumbfounded. It's true, I did like Lucy at one point. But when Juvia came along, those feelings drifted away because there was someone else to worry about. What was that thing, that I would have trouble with "water and women?" (A/N: This is from one of the episodes, I think from episode 5 or so, when a fortuneteller tells Gray that he will have trouble with water and women) Boy, am I having trouble...

I walked back to my own room and stripped. I then flopped on the bed, thinking about what happened throughout the day.
