Actual chapter 1: year's end: awakening

After the events that met her, the cat girl Umi continued to travel through the multiverse, in search of a way back home, back to her Erzy, back to the family she had before she fell into the portal. Happy, on the other hand, continued to go with umi, wanting to see all the people he left by accident. This story starts just as they're giving up search for today. Note: by the time they get back, the oracien siete arc has passed. I don't care if it was oracien seis there are 7 members. Brain counts as two. Anyway let's start

Umi kept looking through an ancient library hidden in the desert of some place.

"There has to be something"

"Umi, it's been months since we left here, you haven't slept for all of those months" happy spoke with concern for his other self. She looked paled and there were bags under her eyes. Like Natsu, she didn't really care about sleep if she was doing something that desired her attention.

"Natsu wouldn't give up, neither would I" happy noticed that she had that same attitude that natsu had when he was determined. He needed to get Umi's attention

"Umi, you aren't Natsu! Stop trying to be like him….! Happy looked as if he was trying not to cry, which sort of shocked Umi out of it.

"I'm sorry…. I didn't…. I didn't think you felt like that….. I'll get some sleep….." Umi looked a bit defeated, but ultimately it knew there was no true reason on why she should continue.

"Good night Umi" happy went next to her and slept, knowing how hard it seemed for Umi to let it go. Umi fell asleep eventually.

"Happy." It was his voice. The voice of her most loved person. Natsu. She ran to him and tried to hug him. It worked. She didn't go through him. She was crying

"Aye….. I'm happy…."

"Don't tire yourself out trying to find a way back home. Even I learned that you have to have patience." He hugged the sobbing girl. "look. You can do this. You're Umi Dragneel. The fire Dragon slayer. My successor"

"Aye…" Umi smiled faintly. "I can do this. I'm Umi Dragneel" her dream faded in and out as she slowly woke up.

"Tell happy I said goodbye." The dream faded completely and when Umi opened her eyes again, it was Bright light. Same as everyday she searched.

"Umi, I found something really big it's not fish. I think it's the portal" Umi came over and looked at it.

"Happy, this might get us back home" she and Happy fall into it, the portal taking it to where it led…

Meanwhile, In magnolia, Erza and the rest of the fairy tail members including Wendy and Carla got back from fighting oracien siete. Erza looked sad…

"It's Not the same without them….. happy, natsu, not even Umi….Where are they?" She looked sad. She longed to see her friends again… at least one of them, knowing at least one of them would bring back one of the other two. Suddenly, in the middle of the guild hall there was a flash of light, then a split second of darkness.

"Ugh…. Interdimensional travel sucks doesn't it?"

"You haven't eaten in months, it wasn't the portal" Umi and happy were standing there, Umi dressed in her usual clothes and Happy was the same, though he didn't wear clothes. "Of course you don't feel good"

Erza looked surprised, not uttering a single word. Umi ran up to her and hugged her. The two started crying, happy that the other was okay. Erza knew that if Umi was okay, happy was as well. After they stopped crying, Umi looked around and saw a small blue haired girl.

"h-hello… I'm W-wendy…. I'm new here-"

"Stop."Umi walked up to Wendy. "It's ok. No need to be nervous." She looked at the white cat that looked similar to happy. "You have aero magic." She looked back at wendy. You're a dragon slayer aren't you Wendy? It's fine. Im the fire Dragon slayer." She smiled lightly, hiding the little bit of pain that came from it.

"Woah, another female dragon slayer? I thought I was the only one" Wendy was amazed. "Do you know where grandine is?"

"No, nor where igneel is either….."

Pretty much everyone else in the building: "have you forgotten about us already?!"

"No." Umi walked to Elfman. "Just thought I'd shock you out of the sadness you guys have" with that she held a fist to Elfman and punched him with a slightly playful attitude. "Real men can take punches like that!"

"You're right. Fight a true man, Umi! Even if I don't know you well I can beat Happy's other self!" eventually just about everyone got in the originally little brawl.

And this ends chapter one of the start. I'm also making a side story series that will always start off at the fairy tail guild, regardless of where Umi is in the universe. I'm also deciding on whether to make the next chapter with a small lemon scene or not. Also, I'd greatly appreciate feedback. Constructive criticism is you have any criticism at all

I want to make my stories more enjoyable for you
