Until something terrible happens that could send things back to the start of the war. Narrated by a new generation of heroes: the quirky 16-year-old Aki and her ever-serious 17-year-old childhood friend, Ryuu.

Lucy would like to be friends with Juvia. But how is she supposed to do that when Juvia's constantly calling her "Love Rival' and challenging her to duels for Gray's love? Well, by getting Gray to confess his feelings for Juvia as well. Now if only Gray weren't too stubborn to admit that to anyone. Wait...what's that? Juvia has a cold? Perfect. Gruvia fluff, Lucy/Juvia friendship.
