This is my first story so please feel free to post constructive criticism! PLEASE NOTE I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING ABOUT FAIRY TAIL, JUST JESSIE!

~Jessie's P.O.V.~

"Are you sure about this?" asked my magenta colored flying feline friend. We stood in front of the guild that won the Grand Magic Games. I gulped and brushed my hair away from my eye. My hair covered my right eye, so whenever I'm nervous, I try to push it away, but it's useless to because it always covers my hair again.

"Yes, I'm sure Lexi. It's been 8 years and after watching the Grand Magic Games...I have to," I answered. I smiled. "I want to see my friends again."

"Well, here goes nothing..." she said as we both walked through its ginormous doors. We heard a huge creak, then we saw a huge lobby. People were drinking, and I saw a certain pink haired boy do something he's about to regret.

"Hey Erza, I challenge you to a duel!" His hand slammed hard on the bar table, and a scarlet-haired girl's cake fell on to the ground. She stood up, obviously angry.

"You...spilled...my...CAKE!" She growled. She held onto his dragon scaled scarf looking into his fear-filled eyes. "YOU DIE TODAY NATSU!" A strong muscular man jumped onto the bar now.

"YEA! A MAN KNOWS WHEN TO FIGHT!" he yelled. "FREE FOR ALL!" Everyone started to pick a fight on each other, and soon the lobby was trashed. I couldn't help but giggle. So nothing's changed huh...I quietly "ahemed" and everything suddenly came to a stop. Everyone stared at me wide-eyed. Everyone stood where they were, not daring to move a muscle.

"Um, is this Fairy Tail?" I asked innocently. There expressions immediately turned to one of sadness. I burst out laughing. "I'm kidding you idiots!" The guild was still silent. I suddenly started to worry. Did they forget about me? Just then, Master Makarov walked towards me.

"Yes, this is Fairy Tail," he answered. "And who may you be?" I felt my heart stop. They really did forget about me.. Just then the master bursted out laughing. "I'm just kidding you brat!" he said while he was laughing. "Welcome home!"

"WELCOME HOME JESSIE!" everyone in the guild yelled in unison. I started to cry, and I could see Lexi crying too.

"I'm home!" I said as tears of joy streamed down my face.

~Sting's P.O.V.~

"Hey Sting, where do you want me to put this picture?" asked my Shadow Dragon Slayer partner, Rogue. He looked at me and saw my depressed face. I was looking up at an old picture of everyone in the guild 7 years ago. "Hey Sting, you alright?"

"I'm fine, I'm just looking back on the good ol' days..." I replied. Rogue immediately understood.

"It's that time of year again, isn't it?" he asked. I sadly nodded.

"I really miss her..." I said. "If only I hadn't..." Rogue stopped me there.

"Hey, I know you miss her...we all do," he said. "But who knows? She might come back."

"I know, but...I really want to know if she's safe..if she forgives me.." I whispered that last part.

"What?"

"Nothing," I said as I wiped my eyes dry. "I think that that picture of all of us at the Fiore Castle should go near the entrance of the guild, so that everyone who enters can see it." I smile, forgetting my guilt. "So that everyone can see that we're no longer who we used to be."
