Just Add Water

Chapter 20

Juvia sat up in her bedroom, brushing her hair and staring into a mirror while singing out loud. Lucy and Erza tried to get her to stop because every time she sang a teenage boy who heard her would come by the house asking to see the girl with the incredible voice.

"Get out of here!" Erza said trying to shoo away the teenage boys in the yard.

"Juvia could you please stop singing?" Lucy asked her.

"Why?" She asked.

"Because we're sick of all these boys showing up!" Erza said.

"They don't mean any harm." Juvia said. "After all they just want to adore me but if they really do irritate you then I can always ask them to jump down a port hole and swim through sewage. They would do that I assure you."

"Juvia that's mean!" Lucy said surprised by what she said. "You wouldn't really do that would you?"

"Why not? It would be funny." She giggled mischievously.

"It would not be funny. Right Erza?"

"Well..." The red head said thinking. "If it was Laxus and Jellal maybe-"

"Erza!" Lucy scolded.

"I'm just kidding...Mostly."

"Ugh." Lucy sighed in frustration. "Where's Gray?"

"He's reading up on sirens, trying to figure out if Juvia has any other weird powers that she could use."

"Is he wearing ear plugs?"

"Yes, he can't hear Juvia but he can't hear us either."

"So how do we talk to him?"

"Charades?"

"Maybe if we take him outside and keep all the doors and windows closed he won't be able to hear her."

"But we can't just leave her alone. What if she runs away like you did?"

"Guys I've got good news." Gray said running back into the room with his ears plugged up. "I know I can't hear you but you guys can hear me so anyway the good news is at the moment Juvia has no other powers except to make guys go ga-ga over her when she sings."

"That's a relief."

"The bad news is I don't know how long she'll be like this and there are more guys outside."

"Great." Erza scoffed.

"You guys should probably get rid of them." Gray said.

Lucy spotted a nearby white board and marker. She grabbed both and wrote on it: Who will watch Juvia?

"I will." He said.

Erza wiped away the words and wrote new ones that said: Bad idea. What if you turn into a love struck idiot again?

"I have ear plugs. I can't hear a thing, don't worry about me." Gray said.

Lucy then wrote: Why can't you get rid of the guys?

"Because half the population of them either beat me up or throw me into a dumpster. I'm assuming they won't do the same to you two."

"I guess he makes a valid point." Lucy said.

"Alright we'll get rid of them." Erza said.

The girls then walked over to where Juvia was still brushing her hair and said very sternly.

"Stay here! Do not move!"

Juvia nodded innocently and when they left her room she went back to brushing her hair while gazing into a mirror. She then put down her brush and looked at Gray in a very lovingly manner which made him blush a little.
