The White Mage had infiltrated the guild and used her spell, whiteout, to brainwash everyone into being her followers. One of which was Juvia. The White Mage had sent her out on a mission to bring Natsu, Erza, Wendy, Lucy, and Gray back to the guild so she could brainwash them too
Natsu and the others were already on a quest and were on a train to get to their destination when they were met with a big surprise
Juvia: Gray-Sama, your faithful Juvia is here. She smiles
Everyone was surprised to see Juvia show up out of the blue
Gray: Juvia?! What the hell are you doing here?! He says in surprise
Juvia: Hm? Why, Juvia came to see you, Gray-Sama. She says, still smiling
Gray was still a bit in shock and felt as if something was off
Juvia: Sama? She asks, tilting her head and smiling
Charla: Well, since you're here. Why don't you join our quest?
Happy: Yeah! Join our quest!
Juvia sits down next to Gray
Lucy: So, how is everyone back at the guild?
When asked, Juvia pauses for a moment as if something was conflicting inside her
Erza: Are you alright?
Juvia: Hm? Oh yes, Juvia is fine. Everyone at the guild is doing great. She smiles
