Gray was riding the train headed back to Magnolia after he had been away for about 4 months when he heard familiar voices on the seats in front of him.

"Come on, its time we headed back home." A somewhat squeaky voice said.

"Yeah but you know what will happen when I get there," A female voice responded. "I just wish it was over."

"Whats over?" Gray asked leaning over the back of the seat to find Lucy and Happy sitting.

"Gray, is that you?" Happy asked in his squeaky voice.

"Of course its me," Gray said and moved to the seat with them. Well it was more like Lucy and Happy on one side with Gray on the other facing them. "Where is everyone else?" He asked looking around.

"It's just us," Happy said and nudged Lucy who shook her head no. Gray studied them for a bit then was surprised, both looked different. Lucy now had colored streaks in her hair and it was longer, she was also wearing black skin-tight pants and a blue half shirt (it shows off her belly but covers her shoulders). Happy it looked like had gotten bigger and more masculine which Gray wasn't sure was possibly for a cat but that's how Happy looked.

Happy sighed then asked Gray.

"You on your way back?"

"Yeah," he replied. "I really missed everyone while I was gone. What happened to you guys, you look different?"

"Well it all started soon after you left and mmmppphhh..." Happy started talking until Lucy placed her hand over his mouth then whispered in his ear. "Fine" Happy said then turned back to Gray. "I am supposed to let you see for your self when you get back to the guild."

"Magnolia next stop." Came over the loudspeaker and Lucy sighed in relief. They unloaded in silence and started walking towards the guild. Gray wanted to ask what was going on but figured he would wait and ask someone who might be more forth coming with the answers like Mirajane. He took two steps on the road that leads directly to the guild and realized the other two weren't following him. Gray turned around and noticed they were going down a different street that he knew led to Lucy's house.

"Hey aren't you two coming to the guild?" He asked. Lucy shook her head no and just continued on. Happy flew over to Gray.

"We will be there tomorrow, Bye." Happy said then flew over to Lucy. Gray noticed that Happy's wings had grown as well and looked stronger than before. Gray shook his head.

"Must be loosing it," he muttered under his breath. Then he continued on his way. When Gray got to the guild hall the first thing he noticed was the quiet, Fairy Tail was never quiet. He threw open the doors to find the entire guild there, which at first didn't seem strange until he noticed that everyone was split into three groups. The two big groups covered the main room and were glaring at each other. The other group which was the smallest one sat in a corner watching the main room.

Gray walked over to the bar.

"Mirajane what is going on in here?" He asked the white-haired mage.

"Oh Gray welcome back," She said without taking her eyes off the two sections. "Its just about time for the fight of the night." Gray was stunned, since when did Fairy Tail time their fights. That was when Natsu stepped out.

"Hey sissy side over there, isn't it about time for you to say goodnight and be tucked in by your mommy," Natsu taunted. At his voice Gray had stood up expecting Natsu to be talking to him but Mirajane put a hand on his arm and shook her head. Then Erza stepped out.

"Coming from you that's a miracle indeed. Since after all the loser side over there still needs to be fed their mommys milk," Erza taunted right back, and that's when it hit. Both sides rushed for each other and the fight was on.

Gray looked around and noticed that the small group that had been sitting was now standing around the room stationed at different spots keeping an eye on how things were going. Gray turned wide-eyed to Mirajane.

"What happened here?"
