Kitchen Fairy (Gruvia)

Recipe 1

"Hmm... this texture," She took another note as the others watched expectantly. "The thickness of this syrup... the gritty dough... This is obvious! This is a caramade frank made by Makarov-sensei!"

"Wow you got them all right!" exclaimed Chelia.

"Wow Juvia onee-chan!" shouted Wendy.

"This was too easy." Juvia smirked as they all were impressed.

"Well you do have the stomach of a cow," Romeo snickered and Juvia soon gave him a rough noogie.

"Wait, no stop, I'm sorry..."

We are here at the Courage house in Hokkaido. We all are orphans, who have no parents. We are a big and happy family. There are no fast food place or arcades but all around is the sprit and courage everyone has and omits and Juvia loves it.

But today Juvia's saying goodbye.

"I don't want you to go, Juvia onee-chan! Why do you have to go to a school in Tokyo?" sobbed Wendy. She hugged her tightly while everyone around moped and sniffed.

"I don't want you to go either." mumbled Romeo with his face turned away, sniffling.

"Everyone..." Juvia tears stung as she hugged Wendy tight.

"My, my." Everyone turned to the new voice that started talking.

"Makarov-sensei!" Makarov hobbled to Juvia holding something in his hand. He revealed that it was a picture frame of her late parents.

"You're going to be a pastry chef like your parents right? It seems like yesterday when you came here. You wouldn't speak nor eat. Another brat for me to take care of." They both shared a chuckle before exchanging soft, warm smiles.

Yes, mama and papa died, leaving Juvia alone. Juvia cried all the time and the sky often cried along with Juvia. Then... Juvia had slipped on the side of a stream. The water hugged Juvia and did not let go. Juvia kept sinking, slipping away.

A firm grasp came onto Juvia's wrist and pulled her up. Juvia kept coughing up water while the boy watched protectively.

"Are you okay?"

"Why?"

"Huh?"

"Why did you save Juvia?! Juvia could've gone to heaven where Mama and Papa are." Juvia continued to sob as the boy watched. And then.. to make Juvia happy, he gave Juvia something.

"What's that?"

"It's a caramade frank! You haven't had one before?" He went through his bag again and wrapped something around the paper. A silver necklace with a cross and blue gemstone.

"When you eat something good, you smile. That's why your mama and papa didn't take you. They wanted you to keep smiling." The boy leaned close and brushed his lips on Juvia's forehead. Juvia's mouth was to occupied with stickiness everywhere to say something. But.. the boy.. made a rainbow in Juvia's dark, gloomy heart.

"I need to go." Juvia quickly wiped away the caramel syrup as she watched the boy close his backpack.

"Wasn't this your snack? And necklace?"

"It's fine you can have them." He started gathering his stuff and ran away quickly.

"T-Then next time Juvia will make you the most delicious dessert in the whole world!"

As much as Juvia couldn't forget the taste of the caramade frank, Juvia couldn't forget him.

"How sweet! He's your faery! And you learned to cook for him!" Wendy's eyes brightened as she talked.
