Chapter Four: Juvia meets Gray

Juvia zips up the zipper to her black boots as she smiles, soon placing all her necessities together as she looks into the mirror. "Is Juvia missing anything else?" Juvia says as she looks on her drawer, and her eyes nearly widen as she sees what is laying there. The gun. She bites her lip, unable to even pick it up. Did she really have to take this? Sure, being a cop granted her the permission to use her gun lawfully, but, it just didn't feel right. Slowly and shaking, she holds the gun to her hands firmly, almost scared.

Was there another method to save someone without using this? Surely, there could be. "Juviaaa!" Levy calls from downstairs as Juvia slowly slips the gun inside the gun holder as she then makes it down the stairs. "Coming, sis!" Juvia shouts as Levy giggles, and Juvia gets a nice whiff of the freshness of breakfast. "Breakfast? Levy, you didn't have to." Juvia protests as Levy smiles. "You need your energy for your today! Your first mission! You and Natsu's, who I think fits you perfectly as a boyfriend!" Levy teases as Juvia blushes. "Juvia doesn't like Peach that way, Levy!"

"Oh come on, you need a man! You haven't had a single boyfriend ever, and you definitely need one!" Levy says as she plops a few blueberry pancakes down on a white plate, soon being joined by a few links of sausages and fresh sweet red juicy strawberries. Juvia's mouth instantly waters as she wants to eat her breakfast. "Go on! Eat! Sorry, but I can't join ya today, Gajeel and I were gonna go check up on that bookstore I want!" Levy smiles sheepishly as a blush almost appears on her face. "He should be your boyfriend." Juvia teases.

"W-Whaa! Urgghh! I have no time to argue with you!" Levy scoffs as she then takes off. Juvia simply smiles as she watches her little sister storm off and she sits down on a chair and flips on the television as she munches on her pancakes. It's on Channel Seven News.

"Good morning, everyone, I am Lisanna Strauss, and I wish we had more good news for Fiore this morning." Lisanna begins as her partner in reporting speaks up.

"Yes, I am Bickslow, and today as Ms. Strauss mentioned, we have more bad news than good..." Bickslow continues on.

"Today, Silver Sorciere is seemingly to have a new member on their branch, and it's terrible to say that it is none other than Zeref, the most wanted man in most areas."

Juvia blinks in shock as she continues to watch.

"And our police force is trying their hardest to stop Silver Sorciere before they do anything more serious than anyone of us thought they would do," Lisanna says.

"You're right Lisanna, and especially with Gray Fullbuster on the scene, the most wanted man in all of Fiore, he seems unstoppable. So, what are we to do?" Bickslow continues.

Juvia stares at the picture of the most wanted man in Fiore, and she immediately changed it to her favorite show, Rave Master as she continues to eat breakfast. She couldn't wait. Today was her first task on the force with her partner Natsu Dragneel. Finishing off her breakfast and quickly dashing off she smiles as she looks at her police cruiser resting peacefully on her parking spot. Juvia smiles, as she decides it's time for her to ride in the beauty. Scooting inside, she fixes the mirror as she sits up straight and makes herself comfortable. Her dream came true.

Here she was, riding the cool cruiser and driving past by, getting some frantic cars to slow down, or quiet down around her. But of course. She was a cop, she could pull them over, ticket them. But for now everything was at peace and she had to focus on her first mission. Finally making her way to the police station, she parks her car into perfection as the clumsy girl stumbles out of car and her heels click as she walks towards the glass squeaky clean doors of the police station. "JUVIA!" someone yells as she is suddenly embraced.

Stumbling, before almost catching herself, she holds herself--and the person who hugged her, up into place. "A-Ah! Natsu!" She smiles as Natsu pulls away and gives her a toothy grin before tipping his police hat in a proper greeting. "You're thirty minutes early!" Natsu says as Juvia giggles. "And so are you!" Juvia says as her eyes roam around Natsu. "Huehue, nahh, I was needed about a few minutes ago, so I'm late." Natsu tells her as she puts an arm around her. "By the way, I forgot my cruiser at home, if we can ride in yours?"

Juvia laughs in disbelief as she nods. "Alright, so what's our mission?" She asks. "Well, it's a duo mission, Juvi, which means that it's just us two, and also, our mission is to track down Ice Cream's whereabouts and try and capture him." Natsu says as Juvia blinks in confusion. "Ice Cream?" She asks. "I call Gray Fullbuster, the sneaky criminal a whole bunch of nicknames." Natsu explains sweetly as a chill runs down the spine of Juvia. "G-Gray...?" She almost winces as she then sighs. After all, this is what she signed up for. She has to deal with it.

"Yup! I have a feeling that me and you are gonna be the ones to stop him!" Natsu boasts as Juvia nods. "I hope so too!" Juvia smiles as Natsu giggles as they both head towards Mirajane. "Chief! Is it alright if we go now?" Natsu asks as Mirajane as she glances at the two. "Alright! But be careful..." She says as Natsu hugs Juvia. "Yeah! Team Navia is on the case!" Natsu says as Juvia looks at him. "Team Navia?" Juvia questions. "Natsu and Juvia, it equals Navia!" Natsu explains as Juvia lightly blushes. She laughs lightly.

"Natsu! We have to go now!" Juvia pulls him to her as they both run off, heading for the police cruiser. Natsu hops up in the passenger as Juvia sits in the driver's. Natsu clicks on his computer that he has pulled out from his backpack and soon gets places of where Gray might be. "Do you think he'd be at the abandoned warehouse?" Natsu asks. Juvia remembers that place was the last place he was at. It would seem foolish for him to return to the same area again. "No." Juvia responds. "No?!" Natsu replies in confusion. Juvia frowns.

"It's too obvious. Why would he go there? He'd risk being caught and all. So we can't go there. What's another place he could be?" She asks. "Well...it says that they last spotted him at the jewel shop that has just opened; he's already stolen from there!" Natsu gasps dramatically as Juvia's ambition shows. "Then I guess that's where we'll find him! Come on!" Juvia drives on as Natsu slings his seat belt on and Juvia continues to drive through, ready to track this mysterious criminal down. She skims through the streets as Natsu tells her the directions for it.

Parking against the street, she sees broken glass as her detective side is already kicking in. She examines the glass. "This glass...was broken by Gray himself! By a rock? A gun? No..." She then sees that the display of the jewels had been already stolen. "Juvia...look at this!" Natsu says as Juvia trots her way towards the displays. A jewel of orange and red shades in the shape of a flame. "He knows I was heading here." Natsu tells her. "Wha?" Juvia says in confusion. "He doesn't know about you yet...but he knows it's my turn to look for him." He explains.

Juvia picks up the jewel as she places it in her pocket. "Grrr..." She growls as Natsu pulls out his phone. "I'll let you search the area, for your rookie senses to come out...if you find Gray, try and stop him!" Natsu says as he phones up Meredy and Lyon. "A-Aye..." Juvia nods as she then runs off into an alley way. This was pure reality. No more training. She was the cop in command now. Searching the area, all she finds is glass.

Splish! Sploosh! Splash!

"Huh?" Juvia looks down slowly.

A massive puddle that she has stepped into, and she looks ahead, seeing footprints of someone who had walked forward. "Gray." Juvia breathes. "He was running so fast...he couldn't dare think of the trail of footsteps being left behind!" Juvia smirks. "And Juvia will find him!" Walking, and following the footsteps for a few minutes, she notices that the footsteps come to an end. She blinks in confusion as she looks up. A door? An entrance? To an abandoned building. Swallowing away her fear, and breathing out her courage, she enters the building and looks around. Quiet and dark.

Too quiet. He must be here. She thought to herself as she walks through and looks around, trying her hardest to not make the sound of her boots click visible. "....Where..." She whispers as she then pulls out a flashlight and looks around, putting her defenses up. She gasps quietly as she then hears footsteps walking up top. Flicking her flashlight off, she looks up, dimly, seeing a bridge for letting people go from the left to the right, or opposite. Narrowing her eyes she knows for sure it must be him! Climbing up some ropes, she makes her way up.

In a crouching position, she looks forward. What the?! Is Gray on the other side...?! She looks as she then hears something behind her. The rattling of jewels. Gasping, she jumps up aiming her flashlight at the person. Her eyes widen as she sees her first sight ever of the most wanted criminal in Fiore, Gray Fullbuster.

She can't move. She can't speak. She is face to face with Gray. Unable to contain her emotions, she is frozen of fear. This was Gray Fullbuster. The one criminal everyone fears. Juvia didn't know what to do. Juvia Lockser is terrified.
