Hello to whoever is reading this. This is one of the first times in a few years I actually decided to write something.

So enjoy.

The sun was setting just like every other single day in Magnolia. At that time, the shops were closing, the kids returning home for supper and the guards switching duties.

But she… she still had other plans, especially today.

She again, was returning to Fairy Tail.

She approached and entered through the grand doors of the guild she loved so much and was greeted with loud cheers and laughter of every guild member inside. There, sitting at one of the front tables, she could see Lucy conversing with Levy about her stories. She remembered the time she asked Lucy once about what she was writing. Lucy's usual response was the silly bit of shyness and embarrassment before she hid the manuscripts behind her and explained that Levy would be the first to read it. Although she did understand Lucy's wishes, she was still curious what she was writing. Even now, she still had no clue what it was about.

Standing on the tables just a small distance behind them was Happy and Carla. Happy was rambling random subjects, usually about fish, and making small advances on Carla that Carla quickly and blatantly rejected. Even then, it seemed that Carla was secretly enjoying her time talking to Happy.

She was unsure to think about it at first, but now she finally realized what was really going on between them: A type of relationship that one could read in books. She giggled at the thought that it could have blossomed.

At the other side of the guild hall, she easily noticed Gray and Natsu butting heads with one another, taunting each other before chaos erupted between them, eventually vacuuming many of the other mages with it. It was a usual occurrence almost every single day, but every time it happened only brought a smile on her face from the liveliness the the members had.

While that was happening, Juvia was watching Gray from afar fantasizing about their possible future together, Erza was being distracted with a cake, joining in the chaos herself in a fit of rage after someone knocked the cake over, Gajeel was playing his songs as Panther Lily listened, Cana was drinking excessively through a barrel, the Strauss Family was having fun together, and Master Makarov was grinning widely with teeth showing as he watched everything happen.

But all of a sudden, they all stopped what they were doing and turned to the one standing at the doors. They looked with warm smiles, all with a welcoming aura as if awaiting for her to join. In that moment, Natsu himself walked over and extended out a hand for her to take.

"Wendy, come on," Natsu smiled brightly, "Come and join us!"

"Hey!" Lucy suddenly scolded Natsu, "Don't make her join in on your chaos!"

Natsu turned around and yelled back with fervor, "I didn't mean that! I meant for her to join in on the fun! It's been awhile since she could hang out with us!"

He then looked right back to Wendy and asked, "You'll join right?"

A smile of melancholy could be seen on Wendy's face as she nodded and reached out a hand. And just as she touched his fingers, he vanished into glittering dust that faded into the wind. Soon after that, so did her surroundings and everyone else. The guild vanished all around her. Lucy, Erza, Gray, Happy, Carla and everyone else... just disappeared.

Where the great guild stood, there was now nothing. Rather, there was no grand building or the people there in the first place. In fact, what was really there was only a field of stones and wooden planks protruding from the ground that led all the way to the cliff edge.

Wendy could not feel the setting sun's warmth as she stood within this field. She knelt down, her knees resting in front of a cross shaped stone. Her hands shook as they gripped her knees. In front of her, wrapped around the stone was a white scarf, belonging to no other than one of the many she cherished.

All around her, she could hear the gentle breeze coming from the ocean winds. Wendy hated the sound. It was what reminded her holding his hands as he slowly closed his eyes into a permanent sleep. All it had done was bring back painful memories; how they all fought for what they believed was right.

Wendy was unable to hold back the tears that were forming around her eyes as she placed her face in her hands.

"I really wish…" she whispered shakingly, "I really wish I would have done something... I really… really do miss you all..."

With a few minutes of silence, she eventually stood back up to her feet. It took several breaths before she could steady herself. Though her eyes were still blurred by tears, they were also renewed with life.

For years, she had lived avoiding the problems that were laid plainly in front of her. She had no courage, no strength despite what she had been through in the past, and ran only to survive. But now, she was unsure if surviving was all that she wanted.

As she turned away from the grave, she took in one more deep breath.

"I will continue to live. I will make a decision one day, and I will make the best of it. I swear it."

As she spoke her oath, the sky slowly descended into darkness. The night shined brightly over her, notifying that it was time. Wendy made one more glance at the grave, and then to every other around her. So long as she lived, the Slayers would always live on. The gentle breeze blew once again, and she began to walk off, letting the winds guide her back home.

I know, it's pretty short.

But of you read the summary, yes I will be accepting OCs for the moment. I prefer if you PM me your submissions rather than putting it in the Reviews section.
