P.S: I know this may not make everyone happy but I am telling the truth, so I hope this small chapter will ease your minds and let you all know I am not abandoning my loyal and devoted fans/readers.

Fiore in Magnolia, July 5th X784 - Tidus's POV, 15-18 mins from Fairy Tail Guild

"No fair, you're a lot more fit than I am!" I hear as I listen to Lucy complain to me, a little out of breath and annoyed at me having won our little race to my Mother's home.

I respond in kind by saying, "It's not my fault you didn't keep up with Monkey's training regime he taught you before you left home."

Lucy seems to momentarily freeze at the mention of 'home' but hides it well as I spy her from the corner of my eyes before refocusing on my Mother's, formally my Father's, house in Fiore.

It was a modest but comfortable home of two floors from what I could see of the outside.

Lucy seems to have recovered from her freeze up and is also looking at the house too as she comments, "Wow its really nice, it will be great to see Aunt Alanna again."

I nod as it has been some time since I've seen my mother.

I say aloud to Lucy as I ask her, "Do you wanna do the honor of knocking or shall I?"

Lucy appears to think for a moment before she says with a somewhat childish gleam in her eye, "How about we settle it like when we were little?"

I raise my eyebrow but give a grin at the challenge as I say, "Just like old times?"

Lucy nods as she holds her hand out and says, "Yep!"

I copy her movement of hand out as we each shake both of our hand, my right to Lucy's left, down and up as we count.

"1, 2, 3, Go!"

My hand shapes itself into a fist as I call out, "Rock!"

Lucy follows a moment later as she says aloud with her hand and palm flat out, "Paper!"

We stand still for a few moments of silence as we both process the results of our little contest before we react towards it.

"Yahoo," Lucy calls out as she jumps up in the air with a cheer, also doing interesting things to her chest to my seemingly averted eyes which were mostly downward as I call out at the same time with annoyance.

"Dang It!"

I look up as Lucy cheers some more before calming down and giving me a somewhat smug smile as she says, "Alright I won, you know what to do when I win a game between us."

I roll my eyes and get ready for the humiliating act I am forced to do for her if she wins at any of our competitions or games between the two of us.

I think to myself as I start to bow down and recite the needed words, "Why did I ever suggest this when were were kids?"

"Oh valiant Princess you have won with grace and beauty, I cannot compare to your intellect and talent, woe is me." I say with a low and formal tone while I am cursing up a storm in my head at my humiliation.

Lucy responds with a snicker and giggle as she acts like she is preening and flattered by my words, "Arise my knight and know that I accept your surrender and your words of compliment to me."

I stand up and look at the snickering and laughing Lucy with a deadpan look as I say with a bored and defeated tone of voice, "I hate you sometimes, I really do."

Lucy just gives a smile with her tongue poking out as she says back, "You don't hate me not really, you're just a sore loser.

I huff in annoyance but before I can retort and have Lucy cheekily talk back in our usual tête-à-tête we are both interrupted by a kind older female voice that breaks us from our playful banter and antics between each other.

"Well this is a familiar sight I haven't seen in a while."

We turn to the door of the house to see it open and standing in the doorway with a gentle smile and warm eyes gazing at us is Alanna Grimmond, my mother.

Her hair was of a golden brown and reached to her shoulders in long swaying motions that were slightly curled at the end of her strands, she wore a more common and relaxed outfit of a nice lilac and white cotton shirt with a skirt that reached her knees in a cream colour and topped off with comfortable white shoes.

Her eyes were of a similar colour to her hair but darker with fair skin with a hint of a tan but not that noticeable unless you are close to her and not far away.

She had a similar nose to my own, not too large or small but just right for her face.

Her body was of a mature woman who took care of herself, she was not as busty or voluptuous as most women of Fiore but I knew she was pretty for her age, this was just an objective view I had of her as I had no attraction or thoughts of such towards my own mother.

"Auntie Alanna," Lucy called out happily as she rushes to give a big hug to my mother, one of the few female role models and woman of guidance for Lucy growing up after the blonde girl's own mothers tragic passing.

I briefly shake off the dreary topic for now as I refocus my attention on the pair of women who both are held dear in my heart; one more than the other at the moment.

Lucy has finished attempting to squeeze the life out of her aunt, my mother, and is now clasping shoulders and being held in a comforting and kind gaze by my mother.

My mother speaks aloud saying to Lucy, "Well I am so happy to see you again my sweet Lucy dear; its been like an age since I last saw you."

Lucy replies in kind as she says with joy and emotion filling her voice, "You too Auntie; I've missed you so much."

My mother releases Lucy from their embrace as she asks the girl, "Well stand back and let me look at you; see how you've grown the past few years."

Lucy does so with a simple reply of, "Sure."

As Lucy steps back and presents herself to my mother I watch as the older woman gives my childhood friend and secret love interest an appraising look.

"Hmm," My Mother mutters aloud to herself as she looks over Lucy's features and clothing with a discerning eye.

Lucy was wearing a short black skirt with a white and blue striped blouse like shirt, black stockings and comfortable looking long boots; she had a small ponytail tied up by a nice blue ribbon.

I could also see the belt she wore somewhat loosely around her waist which was similar to mine but a light brown or tan colour with her CS keys attached to it by a large ring acting as a keychain for the Magical Summoning Keys; she also wore a black whip on the other side of her belt which I can guess was her main weapon since I could not remember Sun or I ever teaching her how to use a Whip.

"I wonder who taught her?"

I shake off my random questioning thought as I listen in on my mother's comments on Lucy's attire.

"Well the colour seems to suit you as I always thought you looked lovely in Blue or White and it does seem balanced out by the darker accessories and footwear and your hair does look nice in that Ponytail."

Lucy seems to preen under the compliments of her aunt as she seems to stand up straighter in pride and joy at the words given to her which I can agree on as blue or white does look nice on her.

"It certainly goes with her lovely blonde hair." I think with a smile that I unconsciously make until I notice it and calm my features down as I listen in more on my mother's words.

"You also seem to have matured very nicely for your age, I'm almost jealous at your figure; particularly your chest Lucy dear."

I almost trip up at my mother's words as I can just see a teasing expression lit up upon her face as I think with annoyance and exasperation, "My mother ladies and gentlemen; kind and caring to a fault but with a wicked sense of humour to boot."

Lucy seems to have a similar reaction as her face reddens and she calls out in a whine as her hands and arms wrap around the particular area mentioned, "Auntie stop teasing me about my body."

My mother just throws her head back and laughs at Lucy's reaction.

She then wipes her eyes of any leftover tears of laughter on her face as she then says aloud, "Well I've had my fun for the day so why don't you two come on in now and we'll catch up.

Lucy; now looking less embarrassed and uncomfortable, and myself look at each other as we smile and look back saying to my mother, "Right!"

My mother heads back in the door to the house as Lucy and I follow her in, I take a last look at the outside of the house before I enter the home of my father when he was a member of Fairy Tail.

Fiore in Magnolia, July 5th X784 - Tidus's POV, Some time later

Lucy and I are both now sitting down and having some tea, with Lucy nibbling on some biscuits my mother baked earlier, as we both chat to each other and my mother who acts as the hostess to our little soirée.

We already had a tour of the house not long ago.

The house had a fairly big living room with a small kitchen of to the side that you could see into from the center of the living room.

There was a smaller dining room on the other side of the ground floor that could seat about half a dozen people, maybe 8 if needed.

The furniture was sort of old but well cared for and comfy as I could attest by the soft and relaxing armchair I sat on with Lucy sitting on a larger cream and blue coloured two seater sofa.

An old dark brown wooden coffee table sat in the middle of the living room with the armchair and sofas surrounding it.

There were some vases and plants scattered about the different rooms of the ground floor.

The upstairs was not bad either with there being three bedrooms, one full of boxes and other stuff for storage and the other two set up as proper bedrooms; one for my mother and the other I can guess was a guest room as I can bet my mother left it like that if I or Lucy wanted to stay the night over at my Mother's new home.

There was of course a good sized bathroom with a large bath and separate shower stall and all the other amenities a bathroom should have; it was done up in a sort of teal and white overall design and colour set up, with the bath and other porcelain features being white and the walls done in a light to dark teal colour.

My mother's room was done in a white and lavender sort of look with many parts of it set in those colours, she always did love the colour Lavender.

The guest room was done up in a sort of black, white and silver colour set up as many things were those three colours but it seemed to work well; the only thing not those colours was the wall which was a very faint sky blue colour.

Overall I think the house was great and it seemed that my mother was and is very happy with it so far.

I snap back into the conversation as Lucy is finishing telling her tale of how she met Natsu and joined Fairy Tail, of which I mostly followed and listened to while I went over my mental cataloguing of the house.

"...It was amazing seeing the guild and all the crazy members of Fairy Tail and I couldn't be happier."

My mother smiles as she now is seated on a smaller couch/sofa opposite me, with a half glazed look in her eye; which to my guess is her recalling her own memories of Fairy Tail with my father since she wasn't strictly a member according to her when I asked her once as she said that she just visited and came by now and again to spend time for her then boyfriend and fiance when they were younger.

"It's great to hear all this, I remember my husband's tales and the stuff he told me he got up to with that Guild and I bet he would be proud to know that his own son is now a member too," She says.

I feel small tears build up in my eyes as I smile warmly at my mother as I say to her in return; with emotion choking my voice, "Thanks Mum."

She merely smiles back and walks over giving me a small but comforting hug.

Lucy, a little misty eyed and emotional at the sight of us; from what I can see over my mother's shoulder as we both hug one another, gives a warm and comforting smile towards us both but mostly me of with I give a small subtle nod in thanks for her support as I continue hugging my mother.

My mother and I seperate from our hug as she is now seated on the arm of my armchair sofa as she leans towards me with a hand on my shoulder.

I blink my eyes and wipe away any leftover tears with my other hand as I currently have one sat on the knee of my mother.

Lucy, doing the same, asks me a question.

"So I've been meaning to ask but I forgot till now, what spirits have you contracted so far with or found on your journey?"

I blink at the question as I think on my most recently acquired spirits and the ones I have found and collected over the past few years since the start of my journey in finding them all.

I answer, with a thoughtful expression on my face, after a few tense moments as I say to Lucy.

"Quite a few actually, one of whom I think is eager to see you again and I bet you feel the same about him too?"

I smirk as I eye Lucy slyly as she seems confused for a moment before getting an eager and excited expression as she jumps up from her seat, narrowingly missing hitting her knees off the coffee table.

I say with a happy and smug voice as I stand up, making sure not to jostle my mother as she moves to take my seat and watches all of the commotion with a fond smile on her face, and move away to a larger empty part of the living room but still within view of my small audience.

I begin going through the motions and incantation of summoning one of my most trusted and favored spirits; as I then finish and call aloud with feeling and vigour.

"Open, Gate of the Monkey! Sun Wukong!"

A bell sound and rush of golden wind sweeps through the room, as a portal like image appears in front of me with the image of many writings and glyphs but the center image is recognisable with it being the image of a Golden Monkey, as I step back as soon as its formed.

The faint image of a figure is obscured momentarily by the glow of the portal and shine of magic that pours out from the magical circle, but it soon becomes clear as the figure steps through with a almost casual sway and as soon as the figure is seen and away from the portal, said portal vanishes with a sparkle and twinkle of golden hued magic that slowly dies away into nothing.

Sun Wukong, The Ancient Celestial Monkey Spirit is now here standing in front of me with a confident smile and warm but joyful eyes gazing back at me as the Spirit speaks to me.

"Well, this is a surprise; I didn't expect you to be summoning me for a few more days at least."

I smirk but calm myself and go through similar motions I have in the past as I bow slightly with my right first closed over my left hand but under my head as I say to him, "I only wished to see you and let you greet some old friends and family; Sifu."

Sun returns my respectful bow and acknowledgment of my Kung Fu Master and teacher with a nod of his head and short bow.

We are both silent in our respectful bowing and manner before we break up with a laugh between each other and stand up to give each other a welcome hug.

I say to Sun as we break up our hug, "Its great to see you; sorry for not summoning you as much as I would have liked but it has been a busy year or two tracking down those other Spirits."

Sun replies in kind to me with a shrug and somewhat sympathetic smile as he says, "Its not bother Tidus; I knew you would be fine after all I did train you."

I roll my shoulder with a slight grimace as I said to him, "Not enough I'm afraid; Man that Tiger guy is brutal when fighting against him not like his sister who seems more level headed and easier to get on with."

Sun gives a sigh with an eye roll as he says to me, "Yeah; that guy can take some getting used to, trust me on that.

I say back with a smirk as I point to an ecstatic and happy Lucy who is literally vibrating in her seat at the sight of Sun.

Sun turns to My amused mother and the fidgeting joyful Lucy as he nods to my mother saying, "Alanna; it's great to see you again after so long, you look great."

My mother simply gives a small smile back and an small wave in return as she says back to Sun, "You too Mr Wukong."

Sun rolls his eyes as he mutters under his breath which I still hear him, "Always so formal with me; still can't get her to say my first name.

Sun then shakes his head and refocuses his attention to Lucy of whom if I am seeing the signs right I may have to move out of the way of the impending collision between My Childhood friend and My Sifu.

I am of course correct as before Sun can even finish his sentence to the young woman, "And its wonderful to see you too Lucccyyyyy..."

"UNCLE SUN!" Said woman calls out in a loud joyous voice as she springs in the air from her seat and dives towards Sun, giving the Spirit a massive tackle hug that nearly sends the Spirit arse over tea kettle backwards but the Monkey Spirit uses his tail to give him a bit more balance and stability.

I hide a snicker at the sight as the Spirit is waving his arms out in panic as his middle is wrapped round by a over excited blonde girl who starts babbling and speaking at a rapid pace to the old Celestial.

I see the pleading and panicking look Sun sends me as he mouths towards me, "Help me"

That does it for me as I am falling over laughing at the sight of it all as the situation and feelings of all this make me feel alive and glad that I have such amazing friends, family and if I plan it right; wonderful new Guildmates to meet in the near future as Myself and Lucy make sure to enjoy our time as Members of Fairy Tail.

That is it for this short chapter, just a teaser before I try and write out a few chapters that may actually include parts or entire pieces from certain significant episodes/chapters of the Fairy Tail Anime/Manga.

Until then I will be hard at work with many projects some of which include a react type fic that I am working on that is taking SUPER long to write out and work with so until then I bid you all a good night or good day depending on when you are all reading it; Ciao for now my Fairy Tail fans and readers.
