Summary: Ultear and Meredy are on a vacation in an island resort, away from Crime Sorciere life... But what if they meet someone from their past? A survivor in Meredy's town? Wouldn't you say that revenge is sweeter than ties..?

A/N: Woohoo! Finally! I get to post a story in ! :-D So.. it's my first story to be posted and it might not be that good. But I hope you'll appreciate it! I am also disturbed by the fact that there aren't much stories under Meredy and Ultear. I hope one day people will learn to love them as much as I, and every other of their fans, do. ;-) Well anyway, nowadays, some people rarely read the whole message of the author. So, shall we start with Chapter One? =) Set after the 7 year time skip.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Fairy Tail. If I did, there would be more screen time for Meredy and Ultear and there would be a movie revolving around Crime Sorciere.


Chapter 1 - Resort Ponte Rinno

"Meredy! Wait up!" Ultear called out, a small stroll bag trailing behind her.

"Sorry Ultear! I'm just so.. excited! We're finally here on this world famous resort! Can you believe it?! We're in Resort Ponte Rinno!" the pink haired girl exclaimed in enthusiasm, her light blue shoulder bag bouncing around from her slight twirl. Ultear sighed.

"We really should've brought Jellal here too." the older mage said, wondering what Jellal would be doing while he's alone. Meredy cocked her head to the side.

"Well, we would if we could but we can't. I did my best to force him.. even tried to blackmail him with an embarrassing photo of his that I stole but he just wouldn't budge. Teehee!" the younger one giggled upon remembering her mischief. "But look at the bright side Ultear! We get to spend quality time together! Just you and me again! Mother and daughter thing." she continued, grinning from ear to ear.

"Hm... You're right." Ultear replied to the girl's little speech, giving her a smile. She walked on ahead to check in at the counter while Meredy watched the sea. It was a warm sunny day but the sea breeze made the air cooler. They were in a resort on an island miles away from the nearest town. It was supposed to be a little trip for the three of them to forget about the realities of life but it ended up just being the two of them, the male not being interested in some fancy vacation. But here in Resort Ponte Rinno, the dream getaway of every wizard, the place enchanted with magic to entertain and puzzle guests, where life is such a bliss, where dreams and wishes comes true as they say, and the place so far from reality... it was the perfect place for both of them.

Meredy plopped down on the bed, commenting on how soft it was. They rented a room for one to save money. It did have one bed but it was enough to fit two and the room was spacious. They looked around. The room was complete with almost anything a person might need. There was even an extra mattress.

"Wow. The person who owns this place must be really rich." the person on the bed said.

"Haven't you heard? They say a duke owned this place. But he's dead now. He left it to his twins." Ultear answered. As soon as they made themselves at home, they explored the island. They got a map from the registrar. The first and nearest place they went to was the main restaurant, just by the lobby of the hotel... But it was just one of the several restaurants positioned all around the island. Next were the pools. It was big, as Meredy noted. All kinds of people were swimming, from kids to adults, from people using magic in the water to people who prefer to just lie around.. As they checked around the pool areas, they stumbled across the bar. It was one long day but they somehow managed to explore most of the island. From the bar to a park, from a zoo to the fair, and even passed by a mysterious cave. Soon enough, dusk was approaching as darkness fought with light.

"I never knew how big this place is until now." Meredy huffed, exhausted from the hours of walking. She wiped her brow that had lined with sweat. "And I wasn't expecting to see a zoo in this place."

"Well, you wouldn't be expecting to see a sparring and training ground in a vacation spot, right?" Ultear said.

"Hm... You're right." the pink-haired girl thought, making her mind wander and recall the places they've passed by.

"Well anyway, shall we eat, Meredy?" Ultear asked, walking back to the direction of the hotel. The person questioned nodded with glee.

/\/\/\/\/\/

"Ah! I'm stuffed!" the coral pink haired girl said, commenting on how delicious the food was. She sat down on a couch back at their room. Both were now dressed in their pajamas.

"But not as good as the one in Irsa!" Ultear replied. They laughed together, remembering good memories in the previous town they've been.

It was one peaceful day for them. Sure, they get days like this from time to time but it was only today when they felt complete freedom and happiness. Ultear went out to the terrace with Meredy following suit. They stared out at the sea, the stars' and moon's light reflecting on the surface, the distant lights of boats and towns shining.. The tranquility of the scenery made them melt in their place.

"I can stay here all night... just staring out there.. and talking to you." Meredy quietly said. Ultear glimpsed at her face. She had a small smile and her face was so calm. Meredy looked at her too. Upon realizing that Ultear was staring at her, she made a bashful grin. They giggled and returned to watching the sea. A quiet moment surrounded them, but it wasn't awkward. Because no words were needed to express how they feel.

"Let's go, Meredy. It's getting late." the woman said. Meredy nodded, following the older woman who's already gone inside. "I'll sleep on the futon."

"No, I'll sleep on the futon. You sleep on the bed." the younger argued.

"YOU sleep on the bed. Didn't you say you're tired from all that walking?" Ultear reasoned.

"You're stressed out too! I'm sure."

"You're still sleeping on the bed."

"No."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not.."

"Yes. You. Are." Meredy didn't answer. "Finally gave up?" But when Ultear looked back at her, she was already sprawled across the futon. She hugged a pillow.

"How about let's switch tomorrow then?" Ultear sighed. She had no choice but to agree. She wouldn't be able to get her off that futon anyway. She lay down on her bed and turned off the lamp.

Ultear woke up for a start. She looked around. The sunlight was peeking through the slits in the curtains and it's reflection off the wavy sea made its appearance on the wall... but there was no Meredy to be seen.

"Meredy?" she called out but she recieved no answer. She rose from the bed, took a brush and combed her long black hair. "Meredy?" she called again yet still received no reply. She stood up and just as she was about to call again, a cold breeze hit her figure. Wind? she wondered, not remembering leaving any windows open last night. She searched for any openings that may cause a draft. Moving curtains caught her eye. She moved to close the window but when she reached the place, she saw Meredy, hidden behind the curtain and sitting on a chair beside the window. She was leaning on her side on the wall and was fast asleep. She must've been watching the sea until she fell asleep. she thought. She stared at her, seeing how innocent she looked like while she was asleep and how her hair flowing with the breeze emphasized her image. At that moment, Meredy slowly opened her eyes. They quickly fixated on Ultear.

"U-Ultear?! You're awake! U-Uhmm.. You were watching me?" the girl stammered, heat creeping up to her cheeks. Ultear pinched her rosy cheek, only making her blush more.

"What's wrong? Still not used to me?" Ultear chuckled, teasing Meredy.

"Wh-What took you so long? It's late." she complained, choosing to drop the subject. Ultear raised a brow and checked the time.

"What?! It's that late?! Have you eaten already?" she panicked, realizing how long she'd been asleep and how Meredy's been waiting. The girl in question was about to answer but a stomach growl interrupted her. She closed her mouth and just shook her head. Ultear sighed. "Why'd you wait for me?" she asked even though she already knew the answer. The girl she asked didn't respond, knowing she didn't have to. They fixed theirselves and left for the dining area.

/\/\/\/\/\/

"Hey Ultear! Let's swim! It's a great day for swimming." Meredy requested, but it sounded more like a demand.

"I said back at town that I wouldn't swim so I left my swimsuit back in the inn Jellal's staying at." Ultear replied insouciantly.

"Well, I brought it anyway." Meredy said as she reached inside her shoulder bag and brought out a black two-piece suit.

"It's gonna get hot soon."

"I brought sunscreen."

"There are lots of guys." Ultear laughed at her joke.

"I don't care and besides, we can beat 'em up!" the black-haired sighed. The girl was persistent on swimming and it seemed that she wouldn't be able to get out of this that easy. She finally agreed, though hesitant.

A few minutes later, they were both dressed up. They went to the pool with the fewest people after being flirted by some guys.. but their flirting didn't end up well. They played with an inflatable ball Meredy brought. Being prepared and all, it seemed that she was really intent on going swimming. An hour passed by though it seemed for them that time still hasn't flew by that much.

"Is that it Meredy?!" Ultear teased when the girl missed another shot at the ball. The coral pink-haired girl stuck her tongue out. They both groaned when the ball left the pool area. They looked at each other. "Well, I'm not getting that.." Meredy blinked.

"Fine, I'll go." she sighed. She looked for the ball behind some bushes but her search led her further. "Ah! There it is!" she exclaimed, stopping in a grassy field. As she was about to go back, she felt a rough hand on her shoulder. Upon instinct and effect from the previous boys who flirted with her, she held it around the wrist and twisted it as she turned to face the man. He yelped in pain. She gave him a cold glare as a warning.

"H-Hey.. there!" the person managed to say, "Meredy! Y-You've really grown well after all these years!" he continued with a smile. Meredy's eyes widened.

"X-Xian?!"
