Grays POV
Juvia?! I thought as I ran upstairs.

"Juvia?!" I yelled as I slammed the door open.

"Gray-sama!" She yelled as she jumped into my arms. I held her tightly knowing she was ok.

"What happened?!" Lucy asked when she reached us.

"S-s-spider" she shuddered out.

"Where?!" Lucy squealed, jumping on Natsu.

"I-I don't know where it went" Juvia stuttered. I was mad. I thought something bad happened.

"Are you kidding me?! It's just a spider, there are lots on this ship!" I yelled putting  Juvia on the ground. I wish I stopped there, but my mouth kept moving.

"If you don't like it get off!" I finished. I could see Gajeel out of the corner of my eye, shaking his head.

"Fine" Juvia said in a proud motion. She walked across the deck and stumbled onto the plank.

"Hey w-what are yo-" and before I could finish, she jumped.

"Juvia!" I yelled running to the side of the ship. I can't see her. She should of come up by now, right? That's it I'm going in after her. I was about to jump off until I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turn around to see Lucy holding me back.

"Let her go. She needs time to cool off" she said before Natsu came over.

"What do you mean Luce?" He asked.

"She's stubborn, but she follows rules. If she didn't like the spiders, she'll have to get off the ship, right?" She asked leaning her back on the railing and looking at me.

"I wasn't serious!" I yelled.

"Juvia will figure that out soon enough. She's the rain women, she thinks better surrounded by the sea" Gajeel butted in. I shot him a glare but let it go.

"She got embarrassed when you yelled at her, so she tried to recover it by doing the unexpected" Erza said stepping in. Juvia, I'm sorry

Juvias POV
He didn't have to be so mean I thought to herself as I swam through the ocean, tailing the ship I jumped from. Sighing, I rose from the water and took a breath. I looked up at the ship to find Gray-sama sitting next to the plank I jumped from. A smile covered my face as I rose from the ocean and sat next to him. By now, the sun was setting causing Gray-sama's eyes to shine clearly. I could see the sadness that filled them.

"Juvia, I-Im sorry" he managed to say. The smile that I was carrying turned more sincere. I grabbed his hand and leaned on his shoulder.

"I won't leave you ever, Gray-sama" I said with a blush covering my face.

Grays POV

"I won't leave you ever, Gray-sama" replayed in my head a couple more times before I let it sink in. Before I could control my actions, I spoke.

"I'll never leave our side Juvia, no matter what happens, I'm with you" I promised as we watched the sunset. Little did I know, things won't always be this way.

Lucy's POV
I had to mop the deck all by myself. Well, Levy-chan helped but Juvias going to be in trouble when she gets back. The stars were out now and I saw Juvia and Gray sitting and talking. Who would have thought, she fell for a pirate I thought to myself.

"Dinner time" Mira yelled from the kitchen. Everyone got up and ran to the kitchen, getting as much food as possible before it's all gone.

"Luce" I heard a voice from above me.

"Natsu?" I asked looking up into the crows nest.

"Shhh. Come up" he urged me to come up.

"Ok" I say climbing the latter. When I got up he was dangling his legs over the edge, looking through the scope.

"What are you looking at?" I asked.

"The second prettiest thing in the world" he said pushing the telescope my way. I took it and looked through.

"Wow" it was stunning. All the stars were so clear. I've never seen them like this I thought.

"Wait, second most?" I ask handing him back the scope.

"Yeah. You would be the first" he said looking into the scope once more before looking into my eyes.

"Your eyes shine more then any star in the sky" he said with a smile.

"Even that one?" I pointed to one of the stars.

"No comparison to you" he said making me blush.

"Luce, your the best thing that's ever happened to me. I don't want you to go anywhere" he said with a serious face, searching my eyes for the truth in my answer.

"Trust me, I'm not going anywhere" I say with a smile. We laid there talking and laughing, hand in hand staring at the stars. This isn't so bad, right?
