Chapter 6: What She Doesn't Understand Is..

The next day, Juvia just sat at a chair by the bar and did nothing. She didn't have much close friends in the Guild. She has always spent her time stalking Gray around the guild so now, she doesn't have anything to do. She didn't feel like following him anymore. The other mages understood why Juvia behaved that way because of what happened at the Resort. She just sat there, drinking juice.

"Juvia-chan! Don't you have plans for today?" Mira asked as she served her another glass.

"Juvia doesn't think so.. She doesn't know what to do.. Juvia always follows Gray before.." She sipped on her orange juice.

"Hmm.. Well, why don't you go on a job?" She suggested.

"Okay." She finished her drink, smiled then went to look at the job Board.

She stood there with both her hands at her back as she thought carefully on what to pick. First, she thought of the reward. Then about how hard the mission is. There a lot to choose from. As she browsed the board, something caught her attention.

"Hm? 100, 000 jewels? Hmm.." She smiled as she looked at the reward. She looked up and saw what the job was. It was infiltrating a group of bandits' base and save a girl named Zumi. juvia looked at the paper and thought about getting the job.

"Hmm.. Infiltrating? Juvia could do that.." She thought. Suddenly, Gray walked by her side and looked at that job too.

"Infiltrating and saving some girl for 100,000 that sounds too easy! I'm gonna go on this job!" He said. Juvia looked annoyed.

"J-juvia is first to get that job!" She told him. He shifted his head towards her and smirked. He held her left shoulder then smiled.

"Then, let's go on this job together!" He said.

"J-juvia doesn't need-"

"Juvia, go on this job with me. You wanna go right?" He said.

"O-okay.." She approved. Gray went to the bar and showed Mira the job post. He told her that he'll be going on a job with Juvia.

"We'll leave first thing in the morning!" he told Juvia then left the guild. Juvia was puzzled.

Why did Gray want to go on a job with her? As soon as Gray left, She decided to grab some lunch. She went to a small restaurant to eat there. After eating, she strolled around town on her own. She really had nothing to do. She spent her days stalking for Gray so she didn't know what to do during her spare time. Just after sunset, she went to another restaurant to buy her dinner. She took the food back to fairy hills so she could eat them later. When she went home, she looked at her Gray-sama doll and carried it by its hands.

"Why did Gray-sama want to go on a job with Juvia?" She asked the doll and returned it to its proper place.

Then she thought, she wanted to make a new doll. This time, a Lyon-san doll. She totally forgot about preparing for the job and made a new plush doll instead. She gathered her materials and sat in front of her desk all night to make the doll. She didn't notice, she stayed up all night until 4 am. When she finished, she raised the doll and smiled at it.

"Ahh! Juvia is finally finished! Juvia will eat dinner and take a shower before she plays with her dolls!" She put her Lyon-san doll on the desk and stretched her arms. She ate her dinner then went to take a bath. She did feel a little exhausted, having no sleep yet. She didn't notice the time. After taking a bath, she dressed up and tied her hair in to cute pigtails.

"Juvia has another doll! Juvia will play with her dolls!" She ran to her bed and grabbed her Gray-sama doll. She played with them, pretending that they are fighting for Juvia.
