Summary

After being trapped in a deep sleep for 7 years on Tenrou Island, Natsu and the gang finally return to Magnolia and to Fairy Tail. However, shortly after returning, they met a girl who is now apart of Fairy Tail. Surprise shocks them all when she reveals who she is and who she has been waiting for these past 7 years.

Chapter 1: Crystal

Normal POV

"I can't believe we've been gone for 7 years." Gray sighs as he sits at the bar of the 'new' guild hall.

"Same here," Lucy says. " It's like the entire town, not to mention the guild has completely changed since we left."

"Yeah, and it's all thanks to those jerks who tried to attack us earlier." Natsu says while stuffing his face.

"Well we are all glad to have you back." Macao says smiling, "We may not have to deal with the Twilight Ogre guild anymore."

"That same guild has been messing with you the whole time we were gone?" Erza asks.

"Pretty much. However she was always there to stop them." Wakaba responds.

"She?" Questioned Lucy.

"Oh yeah, shortly after you guys pulled a vanishing act, a young girl came to the guild claiming she wanted to join because she was looking for someone." Wakaba explained.

"Who's she looking for?" Natsu asked joining in the conversation.

"We're not allowed to say, but she should be back from her S Class job any minute now." Wakaba finished after asking Mirajane for another drink.

"Wait she's an S class wizard?" Natsu exclaimed.

"Yup. She's the strongest out of all of us. And despite our low rank at the moment we still Occasionally get a S Class mission for her." Macao explained.

'Hmm. I wonder... Nah it couldn't be.' Gray thought.

"Well she must be strong if she fought of that guild for years." Natsu says starting to get pumped up.

"That's true. Wow I can't wait to met her. I hope she's nice." Lucy says also getting excited.

A low rumbling sound soon filled the now silent guild hall.

"Hear that Macao?"

"Sure do, Wakaba. Looks like she's here."

Macao turns to the group. "You guys might want to move away from the doors."

With curious looks on their faces, Natsu, Gray, Erza, Lucy and Wendy all turn toward the door.

"Look!" Wendy says pointing, "What's happening to the door?"

"Looks like some sort of spell." Erza says turning to Macao.

"That's correct. It's a protection spell to keep the door from breaking."

'That explains why it didn't shatter into pieces when Natsu kicked it open earlier' Lucy thinks now answering her unspoken question. "But why would you have a spell on the door?" She asks.

"Well Twilight Ogre was one reason, and you'll see the other reason in a second." Macao closes his eyes and smiles.

The rumbling gets louder and louder until the door burst open. And zooming inside is a girl on a magicycle. She slams on the brakes and turns the bike and stops in front of the group.

"Geez kid, as fast as you were going I'm surprised the SE plug didn't explode." Macao teased.

The mystery girl didn't respond, she just stared at the group in front of her as they stared back. She took off the SE plug and got off the bike. She unsnapped the buckle on her helmet and slid it off. Her dark curly raven hair fell out of the helmet and flowed down her back and stopped at her waist. She was wearing black skinny jeans tucked into her silver combat boots. She had on a tight turquoise tank top that stopped right over her belly button. Over it she wore a long sleeved black leather jacket that stopped a few inches above her waist. The jacket had silver buttons and a ice blue and silver design on it.

She was tanned a light caramel color, but you could tell by her hands she used to be paler. She was a short girl, slightly taller than Levy, but had the same curves as Lucy. Her Fairy Tail guild mark was a pretty aqua color on her chest right below her collarbone. She was gorgeous and her deep dark blue eyes only enhanced her beauty.

"Wow, shes really pretty," Levy says awestruck.

"Yeah and she looks the same age as us." Lucy nods.

A few seconds of silence pass until Natsu breaks it.

"Who the heck are you?" He says bluntly.

Erza turns and glares at the pink haired boy. "Natsu" she says through gritted teeth.

Said boy flinched then gulped, "S-sorry Erza, I wasn't really listening."

Erza sighs, "This is the girl Macao was talking about."

"Oh, my bad." Natsu says grinning toothily and rubbing the back of his head.

They all turned their attention back to the girl who was staring wide eyed at Gray.

"Hey Gray" Lucy says, "Why is she staring at you?"

"I don't know." He shrugged. 'It can't be… Right?'

"No it can't be," Juvia says, unknowingly voicing Gray's thoughts. "She must be another love rival! Juvia can't let her take Gray-sama away."

Lucy sighs , "There she goes again."

"Maybe she recognizes you from somewhere." Wendy says throwing out ideas.

"Maybe..." Gray says, "Hey are you alright?"

"... It's you" the girl whispered. "You finally came back, just like you promised."

Gray blinked and tilted his head to the side. "What?"

The remainder of the group looked back and forth between the two waiting for an explanation.

She giggles, "Sorry, I guess you don't recognize me, it has been 7 years after all." A sad smile set on her face. "You have no idea how much I've missed you." Her eyes began to water as she continued.

"When I heard of your disappearance I came to this wonderful guild you told me so much about. I came here to help look for you and your friends. Even after years passed I never gave up on believing you would come home. But there were still times I had to think realistically. What if you didn't came back? What if I never saw you again?." Tears began to roll down her cheeks. "But then I would remember what you told me that one time." She looked up and met Gray's confused eyes and smiled. "'No matter what happens, no matter how long or how far away I am from you, I will always love you and always find my way back to you.'" She quoted, ignoring the stares and her tears staining her face.

When Gray heard this his eyes widened. "... Crystal?" He whispered.

Crystal smiled even wider, "You remembered."

Gray began taking steps towards her. "Of course I remember you, I could never forget." He talked softly. When he finally reached her he put both hands on her face wiping away the tears. Then he gently smiled and pulled her into a hug. "I missed you Crystal."

Crystal held on tightly to Gray, trying to hold back new tears.

"I've missed you too... Big brother."

The groups mouths drop as they stare at the two and collectively yell, "BIG BROTHER?!"
