The sky was clear, no rain, no clouds, and nothing was wrong. It was the perfect day. 0%- No, 1% of rain. Lots of families made plans, and as did a young girl, named Juvia. She used to live in the darkness, and the rain. Then came one day when she was very young, she looked, and she saw the sun shining brightly. The trees were waving in the wind, and the sun was smiling. Which made young 11 year old Juvia smile. But only for a little while, because it started to rain as soon as she got home. Drip, Drop. Wherever she went, the rain followed, almost as if a pet. People would curse the rain,

"There was no rain chance today!"

"God Dammit... Why now?!?"

"This fucking rain."

So, young Juvia tried to block herself from society. If she did, it would make more people unhappy.

More people sad.

Because of her.

But one day, she was in a town, hoping to find her Grandmother. But instead, a mysterious man asked her,

"Wanna join Phantom Lord?"

Her ears perked up, "Juvia?"

"Yes you. You have to be a skilled water mage to make the rain follow you."

So that's what it was? She thought to herself, It wasn't a curse, blessing... nor was it a dysfunction in her birth. It was mage power. This, made her truly happy.

"You want Me? Juvia can't stop the rain."

"Oh really?" He asked, confusing the young girl. "Then, why did it stop right now?"

Juvia looked at the sky, and yes, it wasn't raining. The trees were waving, "Hello", and the sun was smiling.

"I dont know- - but it rains wherever Juvia goes."

"That's another reason to join Phantom Lord! It's mages could stop your rain, If only for a little while."

At hearing that, she knew her decision. "I will join Phantom Lord." Then, that mysterious man made him follow her, as a sly grin sneaked upon his face.

After years in Phantom Lord, she made a friend, Gajeel. Gajeel was the iron dragon slayer, and even if he was cocky and mean, he had a good side.

"Today's the war- eh?"

"Hmm? Juvia thinks so."

"Well, let's kick Fairy Tail's assess!"

"Sure." Juvia didn't really care, killing Fairy Tail, or not killing Fairy Tail. She just thought, 'That's what guild's do.'

But during her fight with a Gray Fullbuster, he made the rain drip harder, but then showed her a beautiful sunshine known as love. The most gorgeous of Suns she had ever seen. And this beautiful sky stayed. She ended up joining her rival guild, and eventually Gajeel came around too. The days when it rained came, and Juvia was confused, "Did I cause the rain?" But then she would realize, No, She didn't. But every sunshine and smile needs a touch of rain, and sadness.

Today, she would tell her beloved, "Gray-sama" that she truly loved him.

On this extremely sunny day.

"Gray-sama!" Juvia sang.

"Hi." Gray deadpanned.

"What's wrong?" Juvia asked her beloved worriedly.

"Nothing." He replied, cold.

"Well, don't be down! Its a beautiful sun today, and it resembles how much I love you!" She smiled at him, her Gray-sama, the love of her life.

"Yeah? And?" He asked, leaving Juvia's heart on the line.

"And I wanted you to know I loved you?" She replied, worried.

"Well, I don't love you. Juvia, I'm sorry. But I don't care about your love, and honestly, I'd rather be drinking right now." Gray replied coldly, he was in a bad mood today, so she couldn't bother him.

"But Juvia..." She started, a tear starting to fall.

"But Gray doesn't love you." Her Gray-sama told her, rejecting her in third person. Was this how Lyon felt? When she rejected Lyon, saying she loved Gray-sama, was this how he felt? No... It couldn't be. Lyon was a simple love, Gray was the light of her life. "And Gray doesn't need you." That, officially, broke her heart.

"You don't need a Juvia to take care of you...?"

"Nope. I'm fine without one. So find another person to fall in love with, okay?"

"But, but, GRAY-SAMA GAVE JUVIA LIGHT! HE GAVE HER LIFE MEANING! AND JUVIA... and Juvia... still loves you." She yelled, then quieted down. She still loved her Gray-sama, but somehow, she knew, her heart was on a string. If he rejected her once more, her heart would start to break.

"Find someone else to love." Gray sighed, "I didn't want to say this, but, I don't love you, and honestly, I find you annoying and I can't stand it. I should be nice to you, but- I can't because simply, I..." Juvia had her hands over her ears, crying.

"STOP! STOP! STOP! ...Stop, okay...?" Tears streamed down her face, and she knew, Gray-sama didn't love her. "Juvia can't hear it anymore, If she does, her heart will break." Juvia cried, running to the bathroom, washing her face.

"Gray..." His guildmates moaned.

In the bathroom, she spoke to herself, "I don't love Gray-sama. Gray-sama is a jerk. Juvia learned some first person for Gray-sama, but Gray-sama denied her love. Her efforts." Tears rolled down her face, her pale skin becoming wet. Her eyes were red and puffy, and she thought to herself, "Don't make rain. Don't make rain. Don't ruin this perfect day for others. Don't make rain. Dont make rain." She repeated those three words, and washed her face. Lucy came into the bathroom.

"You okay..?" She asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine. I've dealt with unrequited love before." She spoke, her words getting colder after every word. She was becoming emotionless, not caring about love, keeping her emotions in. Telling her love to stop. She hated the fact that her love rejected her, not caring about her feelings whatsoever, she wanted to cry. She wanted to break into tears, and cry, but she couldn't. She couldn't run into someone's arms, and scream at Gray. Her broken heart, the pieces of her heart, remained seperated. She couldn't fix that. Someone had too. And she knew, that someone couldn't of been in Fairy Tail.

"You sure?" Her love rival, no, her friend, asked. "You just spoke in first person."

"I am positive that I am fine. But I want to leave the guild for today."

"That sounds smart! I'll go with you!"

"Juvia wants to be alone."

"Alright then.." Lucy sighed.

Juvia went to the main guild hall, and left, emotionless.

"Juvia!" Gray yelled.

She turned around, "Yes?"

"I'm sorry, that might of been a bit cold."

"Sorry? You think that fixes every little thing? Well, no, Gray. It doesn't. It can't mend my heart, nor can it replenish the feelings I once had for you. Now, those feelings have shattered in the dust, and my sama is gone. My Prince, the love of my life, is gone. Now it's just some ice bastard, trying to be him." She deadpanned.

Gray was shocked. The -sama had disappeared, and Juvia wasn't happy. Her eyes weren't. When she turned around, he knew. Her eyes. They were emotionless. But he also knew, it was for the better. He didn't love her, and it would be better if she wasn't in love with him. The blue haired girl left the guild hall, not even angry. She walked and walked, got on a train, and went far, far away. She left Magnolia, and went who knows where. It was cloudy there, and she got off, walked a bit, to an abandoned area, and screamed.

"YOU FUCKING BASTARD! I LOVED YOU, AND YOU JUST REJECT ME! I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE ONE, AND NOW I'M NOT SO SURE! WHAT THE HELL?!? I DON'T KNOW, I JUST FEEL BOILING ANGRY AND... ARGH!" Then the rain started, and she went on her knees and cried. "And, I thought I loved you...." More tears fell, and a green exceed in a Frog costume came by.

"Fro..." She started.
