   Something... was off... Her senses were tingling ever so slightly as she turned towards the sound of two mages whispering in hushed voices. Unable to stand it anymore, she marched over to them, slamming her hands on the table. Soon realizing the aggressiveness of the situation, she drew back and smiled hastily. "Hello Lucy, Levy! What are you talking about?"

   "Oh... uh... hey, Mira," Levy blushed as she turned to face the white haired mage.

   "So, what's the deal?" Mira sat down next to them, still smiling.

   "Well," Lucy sighed, "You know how ever since Juvia met Gray, she's been calling him 'Gray-sama' and fawning all over him?"

   "Yes," Mira smiled dreamily. 'Those two are so perfect together,' she thought in a daze before hitting back to reality.

   "Anyways, yesterday she went on a job with Lyon, but Gray had already accepted the job-"

   "What job?" her head whipped towards the celestial mage.

   "The one about the monster attacking the town," Levy's eyebrows rose.

   "But... I thought no one had taken that job yet!"

   Lucy laughed bitterly, "Yeah, but I guess Lyon accepted the job at the same time Gray did... Anyways, they all bumped into each other-"

   "Wait, who did? I thought only Gray and Lyon accepted the job!"

   Lucy huffed in annoyance, "Like I said before, Juvia went on the job with Lyon-"

   "Juvia did what?" Mira shot to her feet.

   "H-hey, calm down!" Levy pulled her back into her seat.

   "Anyways, they all met on the job," Lucy continued as if nothing had happened, "And once Gray and Lyon saw each other, that began fighting and Juvia had to beat the monster all by herself!"

   Levy nodded, "Funny how things work out... The monster was actually an ice monster so Gray's magic wouldn't even effect it..."

   Mira leaned back. 'How can thing get worse?' she thought in despair, 'All I've done is drive my ship apart... I need to act quickly... I mean, sure the auction is in tow days time, but... a lot can happen during then-'

   "-and now she won't even speak to him... talk about a change of hea-"

   "WHAT?" Mira knocked over her chair as she rose to her feet, "Juvia and Gray aren't even talking anymore?"

   "Mira-"

   She transformed into Satan Soul as she stormed towards the door, "I'm going to put a stop to this... My ships will be canon..." and she was gone.

   Lucy sighed in relief. "Talk about dramatic," she laughed sadly.

   Levy nodded as she righted Mira's fallen chair, "But I think she has a point... Gray and Juvia... just seem to click, you know?"

   Jet and Droy appeared out of no where and stood hovering over Levy's shoulders, "Like us, right?" they said in unison, then turned on one another in anger, "Hey! You stole my words! Levy's mine! Stop speaking at the same time as me! No, you-"
