Her Hidden Powers (GraLu) 🍋

Chapter 17: Dyesebel

Among the stars and outside the little house, the group sat in Lucy's dimension thinking of what to do. Suddenly, Lucy burst through the doors of the house to a bunch of startled faces, some holding their hearts.

"I think I found something helpful. There is a Myth that mermaids had come from one of our other Earthland universes a long time ago. Being lead by some King named Triton. We thought mermaids where a myth, but it seems more plausible now, so maybe Triton is real too. If he is, then maybe we can ask for his help, since none of us can breathe underwater. I figure it's worth a shot. I could have Virgo poof over to Lamia Scale and ask Juvia for her help with locating them as well, her water magic should allow her to scan along the ocean to see if it could be possible. If we can find him and ask for his helping checking things out, maybe he can help us figure this out. If he can't help, then maybe Juvia wouldn't mind lending a hand with breathing underwater. What do you think?"

Everyone sat there for a moment in thought. The main thought, that the stellar mage didn't think of, was that they didn't know how Juvia would be around Gray after everything.

"I think it's a great idea. She is better with water magic, no offence Lucy, and she has worked with us before. So, she would work well with us. Also, she could probably scan the ocean quickly. I say it's our best bet."

Heads nodding at the ice mage's thought process. Everyone hoping it wouldn't be too awkward, but know it is their best option.

"Virgo!" Lucy sternly called to her spirit friend.

"Hello Master, how should I be punished?"

"Enough of that Virgo and why did you bring chains. Just . .. ugh. . . I need you to do something for me, please?"

"Anything for you!"

"Good you please pop over to Lamia Scale and see if you can find Juvia? If you do, then could you ask her if she would be willing to help on a job?" Lucy tried her best at containing her nerves when she asked, and she succeeded.

"Right away Master." Virgo poofed in a poof of golden, sparkly, and wispy, smoke.

Not long after, there was a slight popping sound, causing everyone to stop talking and turn towards Virgo and a stumbling Juvia.

"Whoa, Juvia has never travelled through the celestial realm before." Flushed she regained her posture.

"Juvia! It's so nice to see you again!" Lucy ran up and hugged her friend. They may have a common interest in a one Mr Fullbuster, but they were still friends through it all.

"Juvia is happy to see Lucy again! Wow, you look so mature and bad ass right now Lucy." The water mages eyed the cosmic mage up and down.

"Hey, Juvia!" Red hair surrounded Juvia as she was tightly hugged by Erza.

The rest exchanged greetings until it got to Gray. "Umm, hey Juvia." The ice mage was staring at the water mage feeling a little nervous.

"Oh, oh, um, hello Gray," Juvia said quickly, then looked to her side.

Lucy signalled for Gray to go tot eh house. He knew what she meant, and he knew he needed a minute alone with Juvia before things can start. "Juvia, um, can I talk to you inside please."

"Sure." Juvia gasped when she turned towards the house and just now realized she was in space."Wow, where am I?"

"Lulu will explain it later, *chuckles* for now, let's talk in the house." Gray chuckled at how distracted Juvia got once she turned around. They slowly walked inside together.

"Aren't you worried about them being together?" The little blue haired mage asked.

"Not at all, Wendy. I trust Gray." Lucy said without a single ounce of worry in her voice or on her mind. She full heartedly trusted him.
