The next day, she got up early to get all that she can get from Gray, but when she went to the guild, Gray wasn't there.

"Miss, where's Gray?" She asked Mira.

"He's not here still, but he should be arriving any minute now." She replied.

About 10 minutes later, Gray arrived.

"There you are, so ready to keep your promise?" Jules said to him.

"Yeah,yeah, I remember. But give me a minute, I need to check on something." Gray said.

5 minutes later, they went outside and Jules followed Gray to a cafè.

They get a table for two, Jules ordered coffee while Gray ordered an ice mocha.

Then, for an hour, Jules gave all the questions that she needed for her story.

Even Gray was having a little bit of fun, sharing his experiences, that's what he really needed, someone who can sit down and listen to him about his stories.

An hour passed, Jules got everything she needs for an article.

"Great, that's all of my questions. Thank you for cooperating." Jules thanked him.

No, thank you. I needed this, to talk to somebody. I feel a little bit better." Gray replied.

Meanwhile, the girls were cooing, hiding far enough that they won't get spotted but close enough that they can hear them.

"See, Gray? You definitely need this." Erza whispered. "You need her."

"What's next, Erza?" Lucy whispered to Erza.

"Next, is this." She shows them two tickets to the amusement park in the other town 10 minutes from here.

"That's perfect." Levy said. "That will definitely help them build a relationship."

"Now, how are we going to give this to Gray?" Erza questions herself and the two girls.

"I'll do it." Lucy answered.

"Gate of the Archer! I open thee!" Lucy chanted."Sagittarius!"

Then, the Celestial Spirit poofed in front of them.

"Now, I need you to wrap this onto your arrow and make Gray notice it." Lucy demands him.

"As you wish, moshi-moshi." He replied.

He puts it in a small container and wraps it with a ribbon. Then, he aims it right next to the tree where the both of them are about to pass.

He releases the arrow and hits the tree, making Gray notice it.

"Huh? What's this? Tickets for an amusement park?" He says as he opens the container.

"Nice work, Sagittarius." Lucy complimented him.

"Thank you and welcome to be in your service, mosh-moshi." He says as he poofs and disappears.

"Oh, that sounds fun. I have let's go there." She says but Gray doesn't want to because it will look like a date.

"Uh, I don't know." Gray says as he scratches the back of his head.

"Oh, come on. I have sometime to kill and it's nice to have a little break." Jules said. "Come on, let's go."

Then, she pulls him going to the amusement park.

"Wait, wait!" Gray said but they were on the outskirts of town.

He pulls his arm out of Jules' grip and says,

"Fine, I'll go with you. But this is not a date, understand?"

"Alright, just friends." Jules replies.

And they headed off to the amusement park while the girls were on their heels, stalking them still.
