Author's Notes: Welcome one and all to another one of my fanfictions! This time it's Fairy Tail! And there will be tons of pairings!

This will start with Owen telling the story during the Tekken Arc of my Freedom Writers series to Aqua. Just saying, since the start goes directly to where Chapter Three of that story continues.

But a rather unique character will be starring in this one. And, just like Owen with Aqua, will fall for someone in the Fairy Tail universe! Try and guess who.

For those that are familiar with the series, here's a tip: she was once crucified on a tree and was branded with the Phantom Lord's symbol on her stomach.

Try and figure it out through the story. Enjoy!

Btw. I don't own Fairy Tail or any of it's characters.

Chapter 5:

Two weeks later...

"Ugh..." Natsu groaned. "...I hate trains..."

Gray glared at him. "Seriously, you're hopeless."

"If I wasn't feeling sick I would've deck you good by now-GUH!"

Jake chuckled. "Don't worry, Natsu. We're almost back home. Just hang in there."

"This mission was rather easy, eh?" Owen asked. "Taking out an entire warehouse full of bandits was barely even a warm-up."

The Ice Mage chuckled. "As expected from the two of you. I've already accepted that you two are probably one of the most powerful members of Fairy Tail, despite having just joined."

"You flatter us too much. But thanks."

"Why would Erza and Lucy skip out in this mission, though? Is something wrong?"

He grinned. "Nope. Come on, you should know that ever since they hooked up they've been all lovey-dovey with each other to the point that they don't care about jobs these days."

"I still can't believe those two were in love with each other." He leaned back. "I thought they were just good friends."

Jake crossed his arms. "Well, that's love for ya. But I'm sure they were given a slight push."

The two Writers knocked fists together, confusing Gray a bit. Did they have anything to do with this? he thought.

"Anyway, the amount we earned in this mission is enough to pay two months of rent. Should we give some of it to Lucy?"

"Why?"

Owen laughed. "You know how much she has to pay for her rent. She's having such a hard time that she can barely concentrate on guild missions."

"I thought being in the red helps her get determined to do as many missions as possible?"

"The jobs she takes offer small rewards, Gray." He took a breath. "You and Natsu are always butting heads and Erza's always busy disciplining the guild. Without anyone to do group missions with, she has to take simpler jobs as one person."

Jake furrowed his brows. "Really, now? Why didn't she come to any of us then? I'd be glad to help her out."

"Ah, that doesn't matter anymore. Erza is clinging to her like a strong magnet now. They're virtually inseparable. I'm sure Lucy'll be able to go on harder missions with her from now on."

Gray grinned. "So basically, everyone's happy."

The younger Writer tilted his head to the side. "By the way, Gray. I heard you and the others went to an island not too long ago, defying the orders of Master Makarov. Were you in any trouble?"

He shrugged. "The Master was forgiving enough. It's Erza that had to punish us." He shivered visibly before shaking it off. "I'll never forget what she did."

"And I assume you don't wanna remember, huh?" He nodded. "Sorry I brought it up, then."

He shook his head. "It's alright. Because of that mission I was finally able to find retribution."

Owen quirked a brow. "Retribution?"

A smile formed on his lips. "Ya see, when I was younger, I was trained under a woman named Ur. She taught me all kinds of abilities using ice magic." He laughed lightly. "She was strict, yet kind. Just like how a mother should be."

The two Writers nodded. In actuality they already knew the story between him and Ur. She had sacrificed herself to freeze the demon Deliora by turning her own body into the ice she used to stop him. During the island mission Gray went to, he was able to find Ur's ice and see the demise of the colossal demon.

After that, Ur's ice had melted and drifted into the sea. It wasn't really a tragedy, since Ur was actually still alive. She just now lives as the melted ice, watching over Gray, and her other student (whom the two had forgotten his name, though. XD).

Still, it's quite a sad story. It's obvious that Gray misses her dearly. And he would give anything to bring her back.

Anything...

He continued his tale. "She then sacrificed herself to stop a demon named Deliora. She turned herself into ice and froze him."

"Ah, right," Owen said. "We've heard that part as well."

Jake gave him a sympathetic look. "I'm sorry about what happened."

He laughed. "Why are you apologizing? It's alright. I at least know she's still alive. But as melted ice now."

"That...didn't make any sense."

He knew what he was talking about. Though the way he said it just seemed weird.

Gray looked out the window. "Still, I do wish she were here with me right now. To be honest..." He closed his eyes and smiled. "...I actually loved her. With all my heart."

(Note: What he said right here indicates that there will be another love triangle in this story. I just recently came up with this idea a little while ago. So now it'll be UrxGrayxLluvia.)

"So you had a bit of puppy love?"

He shook his head. "No. I loved her not as a parent. Not as a mentor. But as a person. A woman." He sighed. "I really...really...love her..."

These words had touched the boys' hearts. Especially Jake's. With just these words he knew that his feelings for her were strong.

Owen saw the look on Jake's face and nudged him lightly. "Hey, you okay?"

He looked up and chuckled. "Yeah, sorry. I think I'm also getting motion sickness like Natsu."

Gray laughed. "Maybe it's contagious. I hope his stupidity isn't."

"You really hate Natsu, huh?"

"Well..." He looked over to the ill-looking Dragon Slayer. "...it's not that I hate him. He just gets on my nerves."

"So you're his frienemy?"

He laughed. "Frienemy? What kind of word is that?"

The Writer shrugged. "A 'friend' and 'enemy'. 'Frienemy'."

His smile grew wider as he looked out the window. "Well...I dunno about being his friend."

Once again, Jake's thoughts drifted back to Ur. He remembered what he saw when he watched her in the Galuna Island Arc. The events came flashing back to him.

Their training. Their bond. Her sacrifice...

He closed his eyes as tears threatened to be released. Just thinking about what she did for Gray pained his heart. He knew she never deserved such a fate.

It's strange for someone who doesn't know her in person at all can be so emotionally affected by knowing what had happened to her. But it's people like him that would do just about anything to bring happiness back in the lives of those who are suffering.

He clutched his chest, his heart suddenly aching.

His senior, apparently noticing this, began to communicate telepathically. Dude, you okay?

He reopened his eyes and looked at him. Yeah, why?

You seem troubled. Is something wrong?

Not being one to hide what he's feeling, he begins to explain. I'm thinking about Ur.

Gray's former mentor?

Yeah. I just... He sighed. She doesn't deserve such a fate.

Owen nodded. True. But there's nothing anyone could do about it, right? These things happen.

I know. But...look at Gray. They both turn their heads to the said man, having seemingly fallen asleep. He says he's fine, but I know he still aches to be with her again.

That's obvious. But like I said, nothing can be done with that.

Is that really true? Because I really don't believe so.

What do you mean?

I'm gonna have to meet with Levy later.

What for?

...Research.

Present:

"Research?" Aqua asked. He nodded. "On what?"

He grinned. "Something that would prove just how determined he is to make everyone happy."

"Which is?"

He only looked at her with a smile...

Story...Dormitory...

Knock. Knock. "Levy? You in there?"

"Jake?" she called out. "Is that you?"

"Yeah. May I come in?"

"Sure! Just lemme clean up a bit."

He nodded. "Alright." As he waited he could hear muffled shuffling and flapping paper. Knowing her, her room may as well be filled with books. And that's a good thing. Especially for what he has to ask her. "You need any help?"

"Nah, it's alright! Just a few books here and there!"

He chuckled lightly, noting on how she strained the word 'few'. "Well, okay. Just holler if you need help."

"Don't worry! I'm almost-KYAAH!"

His eyes widened as he heard a loud series of crashes. "Levy! You alright? I'm coming in!"

He slammed the door open and quickly rushed in. What he saw was...amusing.

There laid a huge pile of books with arms sticking out of it. Her fingers were wiggling as she groaned.

That ain't the funny part, though.

He stared at the pile of books, all that were in the category of straight and lesbian erotica. Some of them were manga, while most were light novels. But all the same, erotic literature.

"Owwie..." she mumbled.

The young Writer tried his hardest to suppress his incoming burst of laughter. He found it hard to do so, and he let out light chuckles instead. This caused the bookworm to twitch a bit.

"You okay?" he asked, still chuckling.

"Jake!" she gasped and shot out of the pile of books, straightening herself. He didn't fail to notice the pink hue forming on her cheeks. "Didn't I tell you to wait?"

"Sorry, I just had to make sure you're alright." He had stopped chuckling, but his lips were still quivering. "More importantly, what are those?"

She looked down and her blushed deepened. She squeaked as she realized all her erotic books and manga have been exposed to the boy. She waved her hands to his face.

"W-w-wait! I-i-it's not what you think!"

He grinned. "Levy, it's okay. We're all human. Well...in a matter of speaking."

She looked away. "But..."

"I don't think any less of you, if that's what you're worrying about." He walked to her and gave her a pat on the shoulder. "You love reading. What's more you're quite knowledgeable and you wanna expand that knowledge even more. That's what I admire about you."

She stared at him for a long while. The look on her face indicated that she was taking in everything he said all in. Her eyes were as still as the night sky.

It was when the sound of a book falling snapped her out of her daze. She looked away, her cheeks puffing up a bit. She was just too damn cute...

"What do you want?" she asked.

He had almost forgotten why he had come here in the first place. He silently thanked her for reminding him.

His face then turned a bit serious. "Levy, I need your help in something."

She turned her head back to him. "What is it?"

"Do you know any resurrection spells?"

She tilted her head to the side. "Resurrection spells?"

"Yeah."

"Why?"

He sighed and let go of her shoulder, walking over to the center of the room. Her eyes followed him.

He then looked back at her. "Have you ever heard of a woman named Ur?"

"Ur?" She thought for a moment. "You mean the woman that trained Gray ice magic?"

Nod. "Yep."

"What about her?"

He crossed his arms. "Apparently you know her status now, right?"

"Status?"

"Deceased."

She blinked. "She's not dead. According to Gray, at least. He said that she turned into ice, right?"

"Yeah, I know that."

"And she melted after the Galuna Island ordeal, then flowing to the sea."

"That's a bit like being dead, Levy."

She nodded. "I suppose so. Wait..." She put both hands on her hips. "Is this why you asked me if I knew any resurrection spells?"

"That's right."

"Are you seriously willing to bring her back?" He nodded. "Why?"

He stared blankly at her. "What do you mean 'why'? It's obvious Gray misses her, right? I just want him to be happy."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Look..." He walked towards her. "Ever since Owen and I joined this guild everyone here has become our nakama. And I want to make sure all my nakama are happy."

She stared at him for a moment before letting out a light giggle. "Wow. I never knew you cared so much about us."

He shrugged. "Despite only being here for a short period of time I already feel quite at home. And everyone's friendly, albeit rowdy. But you guys have been so nice to me and Owen, even though we're not mages."

"Yeah, well, you guys are alright. I mean, everyone has fun with you guys around." She smiled brightly. "Especially me!"

At those words he felt his own cheeks burn. He cleared his throat and looked down, his long bangs covering his eyes.

"Hehe, glad to hear that."

She then looked thoughtful. "Back to your question, though, I don't know any resurrection spells." She snapped her fingers. "Perhaps we can find a book about it in the local library."

"Really? Wait..." His face then lit up. "...does that mean you'll help me?"

She nodded. "If it involves spreading happiness to my nakama, then why not?"

"Thanks, Levy."

She grinned. "No problem!" She then took hold of his hand. "Now come on! Let's go find 'em books!"

As she pulled him along with her on their way out, he couldn't help but feel heat plaguing both his cheeks. And he could feel his heart pounding in his chest. Hard.

This is the second time this has happened. And they both happened when Levy touched him.

What's going on? he thought to himself. What's wrong with me?

Little did he know that by the end of this arc, he would very well find out soon...

BEGIN RESURRECTION ARC...

To be continued...

Note: Sorry this chapter was short. Though the next arc will have longer chapters, I promise. This however, albeit having short chapters, will be quite interesting. So please don't think I'm being lazy. Ciao! R&R please!
