Sorry, guys, for that weird update. I don't know why it did that to chapter three but I'm going to redo it now. I hope I didn't lose any follows because of it. Anyways, please enjoy.

"Neptune told you that Lucy can summon him?" Gray asked, incredulously.

"Yup!" Natsu finally tore his eyes away from the key to look at his rival.

"Alright..." Lucy glanced down at the key. It was golden in color and the handle had waves carved, shimmering in the light as it moved. There was an air around it, as if the power inside was humming. She took a deep breath, steeling her nerves, and held out the key. "I summon thee from the celestial planes! Come forth and bless us with your presence! Open: Gate of the Sea God: Neptune!"

A bell sounded for a moment before a flash of light appeared. Everyone watched, amazed, as the light subsided revealing a teenager with pure black hair. His eyes were closed, part of his left covered with a bit of his hair, and he wore a white button up shirt topped with a vest. He had black pants on and boots that had a small trident on the sides. His arms were crossed and he was silent except for the gentle hum that escaped from behind his closed lips.

Lucy jerked, realizing that the humming was the same rhythm she felt from the keys. It was soothing and quiet, calming her jittery nerves. She felt her shoulders lose their tension and saw the same with her guildmates.

"Hey, Neptune!" Natsu grinned, his own arms crossed. The mages were surprised by Natsu but, really, they shouldn't have been. Nothing could really faze the dragon slayer since he was already strange himself.

The god's eyes slowly opened revealing a bright and beautiful sea-green. They swirled with warmth and power and the Fairy Tail mages felt as if his his eyes were looking into their souls as they swept towards the fire mage. He smiled gently and tilted his head slightly in recognition. "Hello, Natsu."


"Hello, Natsu," The teenager's, the god's, voice was smooth like velvet and was filled with power but there was no mistaking that warmth held there. He spoke as if he was talking to a friend or how a father would speak to his child. "Thank you for what you have done for me." He tilted his head forward in a small bow. "You have kept your promise, as said. I truly appreciate it."

Natsu laughed, "It was no problem! They were jerks for destroying your shrine anyway!" His grin turned into a small, worried from as he studied the god, "Are you okay? I mean, your shrine was destroyed after all."

Neptune blinked before waving his hand, "It's alright. I'm fine. I wasn't physically tied to it luckily. That, now, would have been bad." He stopped and looked at Lucy, as if just remembering something, "You summoned me, yes?"

Lucy looked surprised and nervous, "Ah, y-yes."

"I see," Neptune pushed himself off the table he sat on when he was summoned and stood in front of her. He stared at her, green clashing with brown, before kneeling. That was an action that earned gasps from all around. A god kneeling to a mortal? He looked up at her, eyes glittering, "I am to be in your service so long as you will have me." He put his fist on his chest and his eyes already held a protectiveness for her. A smile tug on his lips when he saw the shocked faces of the guild members and the rapidly reddening features of his summoner.

"Right!" Lucy nodded, clenching the key tight. Her eyes sparkled and she smiled at him as he stood. "Oh, how long can I summon you a week, Lord Neptune?"

Neptune waved a hand, "Call me Percy. I'd say that you can call me whenever you need." He gave a boyish grin that didn't make him seem all that unapproachable anymore. He simply looked like a sweet and caring teenager.

Makarov made his way forward, and cleared his throat. "I must say, welcome to the guild, Percy! My name is Makarov."

Percy blinked and glanced down. He smiled warmly at the small old man, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Makarov. You must be the master of," He paused, looking at Natsu's shoulder before back at Makarov. "Fairy Tail."

Makarov was only slightly surprised that the god had immediately pinpointed him to be the master. However, he was a god after all.

A sound rumbled and Percy blinked again, looking down at his stomach, "Really?" He sighed, "We were just having a serious moment and you ruined it."

This caused everyone to start laughing and those who had lingering doubts to quickly join in. This god, however you looked at it, was a teenager through and through.

"Come on!" Natsu slung a hand over Percy's shoulder (slightly shocking some) and lead him over to Mira who stood behind the bar already preparing food. "Hey, Mira! Can you get Percy here some food? He sounds like he hasn't eaten in days!"

"I had two pieces of bread last night," He grinned knowingly at the fire mage who tried to hide in his scarf. "They were pretty good." His focus was suddenly directed in front of his when a steaming steak was placed on the counter. His eyes grew impossibly wide and bright as he started salivating. "Is this...Is this for me?"

Mira nodded, gently pushing the plate forward, "Please, enjoy!"

Percy grabbed his fork, digging into the steak ravenously but still managing to not make food flying like some mages (coughNatsucough). He put his head on the table when the empty plate was taken away, sighing in bliss, "That was the best food I have ever tasted. Seriously."

Mira giggled, a light pink dusting her cheeks, "Thank you."

"Hey, Percy," Lucy sat on the god's left and looked at him. "How come there isn't a power drain from summoning you?"

"Hmm..." The raven haired god put his head on his chin and looked at her, "I'd say it's because I'm using my own power to stay here instead of like your summons, like Aquarius or Cancer. Take it like this, if you summon me with the key, I'll appear but instead of using your power to stay I would be using my own. Understand?"

"I think so..." Lucy nodded. "Oh! You live in the celestial world, right?"

He raised an eyebrow, "You mean, you don't know? You were the one to summon me saying something like: I summon thee from the celestial spirit blah blah blah something or whatever."

People around him sweat dropped. That was definitely something a teenager would say.

"Something like that," Lucy laughed. "I wasn't sure because I've never summoned a god before."

Percy nodded, "I see. Well, I live there now after the old celestial spirit dude invited me, lucky you, but I used to live in another place for gods. It was really lonely. I was all by myself. There was no one to talk to or play checkers with. It was lame." He shook his head, "Anyway, you were going to ask a question?"

"Right. Since you live in the celestial spirit world, do you know any of the the Zodiac spirits?"

For a split second, Percy's eyes flickered to Loke who was watching him carefully before looking back at Lucy's brown orbs. "Well, not exactly," He could see from the corner of his eye, Loke's body losing its tension. "We've never really interacted with each other. I was always by the king's side or at the lake." He shrugged, "Sorry, I know who they are but we've never met."

"That's okay. I was just wondering." Lucy smiled brightly, a tad bit disappointed. She was really hoping to hear about how the other spirits were like.

Percy's eyes drifted past his summoner and to Gray who was sitting at a table, talking with Cana. Something caught his eye and he pointed at it, "I want one of those."
