"Natsu-San...." She couldn't help but wonder why Sting asked Natsu to 'escort' her instead of Gajeel or even Lisanna.

"Hey Juvia! Ready to go back?"

"Y-Yes."

"Sting told me everything I need to know so don't worry about having to explain yourself ." He gave her a tender smile.

"Thank you." She smiled back.

"Buuuuuuttttttt. Do you liiiiiikeeeee himmmm?"

Juvia was so taken aback but giggled.

"That escalated quickly Natsu-san. No we are just.... Ummmm... Friends."

"Friends?"

"Friends."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In Rogue's Room.

"You're finally up. Your friend just left about 20 minutes ago."

"..."

"Does she know?"

"About what?"

"You know what I'm talking about... Back then."

".... Did she go back safely?"

"Of course she did! You know me! I sent her with the 3rd best dragon slayer out there, Natsu. The first being me of course ."

"Thanks but I'm okay. Juvia just was a bit shocked but as you know well this is normal."

"No it's not normal actually. You should've told me this was happening again. It makes me feel like a shit friend for not realizing this sooner..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Juvia had already gone into Fairy Hills when Natsu recognized a familiar scent.

What's the Ice Princess doing here?!

"COME OUT AND FIGHT ME INSTEAD OF HIDING FROM ME! I CAN SMELL YOU, REMEMBER?!"

And suddenly the scent was slowly fleeing until it was completely gone.

Ha. Loser was scared.

In Juvia's Room

I'm so grateful to have such amazing people in my life, unlike when I was in Phantom Lord. Times I don't want to think about. But I don't regret it. Phantom Lord got me to where I am now.

Suddenly she realized how tired she really was.

Maybe I'll just close my eyes for a few minutes.

*yawn*
