A/N: I'm late! I took so long to update! Well, I encountered another mini block and I just can't get satisfied with the chapters I had done so I repeat them. Actually, in previous versions of this chapter, Sora is supposed to appear here again. But it turned out a bit differently. Anyway thanks for every single review and follows and favorites! I love you all!

IMPORTANT: Classes for me are starting on the 17th, and that means I won't be able to update as much anymore. Maybe just once or twice a month. So while I'm gone I hope you guys will still read and leave your support so that I'll know that this is worth my time and effort haha! I personally love this story, but if you guys don't then it'll be not worth it. And yeah, I'm already 3rd yr college so I'll be busyyy.

Litji: I'm glad that his true form is okay with you! Here's the next chapter!

Emperor of Pandemonium: You are partly right! Actually Yumimura was already shown to be the ice goddess when Gemini failed to copy her and vanished while saying that she is indeed the god. That means that she lied when she said that she was just a guardian and she had also became angry at the revelation which was why she used her god's bellow on Team Natsu. As for Yuma, I'll write about that on future chapters! Ahaha sorry for the little confusion. ^^

Eeveexme: I'm glad you checked it out and happy that you liked him! Here's the next chapter!

Another Important: If you see a statement like: / "What are you doing!?" .. I mean when slashes preceed them then that means the person have one of those shocked and and incredulous expressions that was always in the manga. I'll be posting sample pics on the fb page so it'll be clear.

Disclaimer: I only own the plot and the Oc's and idea.


Chapter 8: Return of the lost member

"You're feeding me?" She asked. But she's not sick, she can eat by herself.

Excerpt 3: The ice that can be molded by an ice god slayer is limitless.


"LUCY!?"

Was the only thing that the members of Fairy Tail could say as they stare at the communication lacrima with big eyes, some of them already getting teary as they took in the much missed image of the blonde celestial mage. Lucy, on the other end of the lacrima conversation, smiled at them and gave a thumbs up.

"Yup! I'm alive!" She winked and that was the signal for the members and the guild master to rejoice and brew a party, a lot of them hugging a random member in joy. Team Natsu + Shadow Gear all grinned at them happily and proudly. The mission was a success. They reclaimed their lost member. Somewhere, from the chaos that the two teams could see through the crystal ball, the small guild master pushed himself through the mass of celebrating members. He jumped up on the bar counter and grabbed the lacrima, pointing it directly to his face.

"Where have you been for one year, Lucy? We were so worried!" The old man scolded, and Lucy couldn't help but laugh nervously. She twiddled her thumbs as she answered meekly.

"Ahaha.. I guess I was trapped for six days in the God's Zone. I had an amnesia, but the magic of that zone had quickened the recovery of my memories in just six days. I had no idea that I was residing in that kind of magic. And I also had no idea that a day inside that magic zone equals to two months here. Ahaha.. sorry, Master." She offered an awkward apologetic laugh, causing Happy and Natsu to stare at her weirdly and comment something about her making a scary laugh, making Lucy twitch in irritation at them. Master Makarov smiled all fatherly at her and the rest of Team Lucy.

"Let's leave the explanations for later when you got back. For now," He slightly lowered the lacrima as he made his voice louder for the whole guild to hear. "We celebrate Lucy's return! Time for another Fairy Tail party, you brats!"

Everyone cheered in the background, which made Natsu and Gray feel all giddy and immediately wanting to get back since a party at Fairy Tail could only mean fight, fight, FIGHT! The rest of them all smiled at the crystal excitedly, and Erza reminded the guild, in a nice way, to not cause too much riot until they came back. Master Makarov turned back to them.

"What are you all waiting for?! Go back here now!"

"YES!"


After a quick thanks and farewell to the people at Horgo, they went for the trip back to the train station. The long hike of five hours had worn them out but didn't take away their excitement as they all told Lucy everything that happened in the one year that she disappeared. From missions that they took, to the dark guilds, and everything else. Lucy simply listened to them, wishing that she hadn't been gone for that long. She surely missed a lot. She can't help but sigh as they finally reached the train station and rode the ride back to Magnolia. By afternoon, they finally got off the train, with Natsu barely alive from the torturous ride.

Lucy breathed in deeply, letting it all out with a huge smile afterwards. "Aah, finally, Magnolia!" She cheered. To her, she had only been gone from there for a few days, but to the rest of the world, she's been gone for a whole year. And the slight change at the town made her realize just how long she's been gone.

"I'm really, really happy that we got you back, Lu-chan!" Levy happily cheered and jumped to hug her around the neck, causing her to stumble a bit to her left while laughing.

"You have no idea how many times we went to that town and went back here without you with us." Levy added a bit sadly. Lucy, noticing her sad reminiscing, had patted the blunette's head.

"Well, let's all forget about that now. I'm back!"

Everyone agreed with a smile and relief. A few more walking and the guild came to view, and they all ran excitedly all the way to the entrance. They all stopped as they surveyed the inside of the building that's supposed to be a guild. There, everybody are still partying with fights here and there. A lot of the tables were already damaged beyond construction and a couple of the pillars are now ready to give up as well. Some members, who aren't in for fighting, are drinking and laughing on some nearby tables, occasionally yelling at members who bumps and lands on their table from a fight, cursing or joining into the fight as well if ever their own table gets damaged because of the others. On the stage, Gajeel is performing his favorite and own composition, Best Friend, with a group of listeners crying at his voice while throwing random stuff at him. Mirajane is happily serving drinks to the few tables left, completely ignoring the trail of blood running down the side of her head when a chair had crashed against her, while Master is sitting on the bar while crying for his demolishing guild.

"Woaaahh! I wanna join the fight!" Natsu yelled and ran into the fight as well.

"Oi, don't go without me!" Gray ripped off his shirt angrily and proceeded to punch a random member.

"Tch. I told you guys not to destroy the guild! Stop this fighting, NOW!" Erza turned into her scary mode as she marched into the mess too, beating and smacking some sense into the other members while telling them to stop.

Master, noticing Erza beating the others while telling them to stop fighting, Natsu randomly knocking guys out, and Gray's clothes getting fewer and fewer, had gawked at them. /"All of you, stop destroying the guild!" No one listened though and the fight ensued.

"Ahaha.. What a way of greeting, huh, Lu-chan?" Levy sighed with a sweat drop as they watched the scene, a random piece of wood, possibly from a previous table or chair, knocking her on the head as if on emphasis.

Lucy can't help the twitching on her face as food get smashed across her cheeks and clothes, with some furnitures flying to her, which she easily sent away with a couple of black ice boulders. "Y-Yeah.."

"GAAAAHHH! EVERYONE!" A roar of flame erupted from within the crowd, giving away the current location of a certain dragon slayer. "LUCY'S BACK!" He announced suddenly, accompanied with a strong punch to Elfman's face.

At the announcement though, everyone remembered what the party was for anyway. They turned their heads to the entrance of the guild, and saw a food monster, er, no, Lucy covered with food standing there with Levy. A short moment of silence passed before they all cheered and welcomed her back in a chaotic way of throwing greetings and love to her direction.

"Welcome back!"

"Alright! Lucy's back!"

"She's alive!"

"Of course she is, you idiot!" A punch to that preceeding person.

"Lucy-san!"

"Oh my, Lucy!"

"Welcome home, Lucy!"

"We missed you!"

"C'mere for a hug!" A small group of nearby members just had to beat that guy up for such a perverted comment.

Lucy stared at them with a smile creeping up her face. She felt so welcomed and loved. A trail of warm liquid ran down her cheeks, making her flinch for a bit before trying to wipe them, only for more to come until she just gave up and let herself cry.

"I-I'm back.." Lucy finally replied to all their previous welcome as she sobbed freely. Levy smiled and hugged her for comfort, which made Lucy sob more. The members laughed at her while some also cried along with her. Wendy, Mira, Cana, and Lisanna are now around her with tear-streaked faces as they tried to console her, and Elfman somewhere in the background sniffing while saying something about how, "Crying is a man!" and following it with a, "Nee-chan and Lisanna really are a man then."

"EVERYONE!" Master interrupted. "The time for crying is over. So now, let's fill our hearts with smiles and happiness as we party this night out!"

"YEAH!" Was everyone's mixed cheers as they engulfed themselves in another party, with Lucy nodding in agreement as she wiped her tears away. The girls all went to the bar to talk their hearts out while everyone else went on to their domino effect fight.

"So, Lucy, what exactly happened in your absence?" Master, who was lounging at the bar counter, had joined their talk with a mug of sake in hand.

"Ah...Well, after our fight with the goddess, we all got separated and I lost my memory. Loke came out and helped me, and we found shelter from a house in the mountains owned by an old woman named Yuma. For five days we stayed there, with my memories slowly comming back but a bit foggy. On the sixth day though, something happened." Lucy stopped talking and her listeners noticed how pale her face had become.

"N-No! I don't want it!"

"Do it, Lucy!"

She bit her lip as her hands trembled, suddenly feeling cold as bile rose up her throat, the memory of the taste of that warm and metallic liquid being choked down her throat. She involuntarily gulped at the memory, her left hand subconsciously caressing the palm of her right hand, remembering the cut there that had quickly disappeared as quickly as it appeared.

"What are you doing!?"

"Lucy Heartfilia, the girl who had slayed the ice goddess, Yumimura."

She winced as unwanted memories flood her head. She let out a tiny yelp before desperately covering her ears, as if trying to tune out the voices in her head. She remembered that giant god, and how thunder is coming out of his mouth as he speak, accusing her of slaying the goddess. She remembered denying it, all the while bathed with the goddess' blood and the taste of that blood still tingling down her throat. She wanted to throw up so badly then, and the chilling wind around her is not making her feel any better.

"I didn't! I don't want it! I just want to-"

"Be reminded by this magic."

"Lucy! Lucy!" Lucy jolted up as warm hands shook her by her shoulders. Her eyes cleared up and saw the worried face of Natsu, along with the rest of her listeners. Natsu had just been sent flying to the tables near the counter by Gajeel's iron leg. And he was all but pleased to see his newly returned partner getting all shaken up. "Are you okay? What happened?"

She choked back a sob and Natsu couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. He frowned as he held a hand up and wiped away her tears as she sobbed, her lips quivering. Lucy hicupped and crashed herself onto Natsu, crying her eyes out on his chest. Natsu instinctively wrapped his arms around her, whispering and telling her that it's going to be okay.

"Ssh.. It's alright, Luce. Don't cry." He cooed gently as he absently played with her hair with fondness, almost mesmerized by its softness as he twirled some of the strands between his fingers. He shot a look at their Master, almost accusing him and questioning at the same time. Master Makarov waved his hands at him to show he doesn't know what happened either.

"Maybe it's best for you to get some rest, child. Take her home safely, Natsu." Makarov said and Natsu nodded, pulling the shaken girl by her wrist. When he had successfully taken her out of the noisy guild, he began his mental battle of what to do next, being someone who isn't really an expert in comforting someone. The walk was silent for awhile, and Natsu couldn't help but feel anxious and awkward. He really wanted to ask her what's wrong but he's hesitant too. Groaning, he let out a sigh, deciding not to ask anymore. They rounded Strawberry Street, and walked along the small river, until the familiar apartment came to view.

"Natsu.." Lucy suddenly called in a small voice, causing Natsu to jump in surprise before looking at his friend carefully.

"Y-Yeah, Luce?" He looked at her and noticed her uneasiness, like she wanted to say something and not wanting to say it at the same time.

"Uhm, could you, uh, please keep me company for awhile?" Lucy asked shyly, and Natsu blinked before grinning at her.

"Of course!" He answered happily. Lucy was just about to smile back at him when he scooped her up and jumped to her window without warning, eliciting an embarrassing yelp from her. Hearing the sound she made, Natsu laughed a bit in amusement as he opened her window and jumped in. He set her down and was immediately scolded by the girl.

"Natsu! How many times do I have to tell you to use the door!? It's there for a reason! And if you're going to jump us in next time, give me a warning at the least!" She yelled at him while pointing at her rejected door. Natsu simply smiled at her.

"I think you're feeling a bit better now."

Lucy stopped her scolding, realizing that he was right. She does feel a bit better, since the previous sadness and guilt was momentarily replaced by anger. She sighed at him. "I hope you didn't do that on purpose."

The dragon slayer shrugged when his face suddenly turned downcast and weak. "What's wrong, Natsu?" She asked with worry, instantly taking a step to him and checking his temperature. His skin felt hot under her touch and she almost thought that he was sick, but soon found herself silly. This is his normal body temperature. He never gets sick.

Natsu looked down at her with a bothered look on his face as Lucy is still to take her hand back or move away from him. "I'm hungry.." He whispered, not needing to speak louder as the girl herself was just a breath away from his own

Lucy registered this and quickly stepped back from him. "Oh, o-okay. Then I'll cook something for you! Wait here."

She shook her embarrassment away as she quickly skipped to her kitchen, wondering what she should cook for her little hungry dragon. Opening her cupboard, she almost face palmed herself when she realized that a year had passed. Meaning all of her food here must be spoiled already. Groaning, she took them all out with a disgusted face and threw them in the trash can. She went on her tiptoes as she tried to look for anything else stored up there, but her eyesight just won't get pass the lower part of her cupboard. Why in the world was a cupboard built so high anyway?

"Luce."

"Kyaaa!" Lucy screamed as she lost her balance and fell back, only to be caught by her pink haired friend who had slid on the ground as he held her between his legs. "A-Ah, Natsu.. Thank you.."

Natsu nodded and helped her up. "So what were you doing?"

He glanced at the cupboard then back at her for indication. "Oh! I was trying to check for any other food up there but-.. N-Natsu! What the hell are you doing!?"

Lucy's face began to get flushed as Natsu pressed himself against her, trapping her against him and the counter behind her. Her hands had shot up to push him away but, with all the wild thoughts running on her head, she could only do as much as simply let her shaky hands rest against his chest.

"I got it!" Natsu grinned happily as he successfully reached the couple of cup noodles at the back corner of the cupboard. He felt the hands on his chest and looked down at his friend with confused eyes.."Huh? Lucy?"

He took a step away from her as he eyed her in confusion of her sudden flushed face. "You okay?"

Lucy saw his hands with the two instant noodles in them, and immediately felt ashamed and mad for jumping into hopeless conclusions again. He was just reaching over her for the food! What was she thinking anyways?

"Lucy." He called as he sweat dropped at her. "Are you sure you're not going crazy?" He asked as he watched her suddenly pulling her hair out in self frustration.

"Going crazy for you!" She angrily thought to herself as she held a hand up to cover her infuriated face. This always happens! Her getting all worked up about things that he do and end up embarrassing herself to hell! She's so eaaaasyy! She dragged the hand down her face exasperatedly, only to see the dragon slayer perplexed as he stared at her incredulously.

"W-What?" Natsu asked with disbelief clear in his voice. His throat suddenly felt a bit dry, making his voice come out a little raspy. "Luce.. What did you say?"

What did she say? She didn't say anything. "Going crazy for you!" Her jaw dropped as she paled. She couldn't have said that out loud, right? But that was just a joke! A witty remark!

"What did you mean by that?" Natsu pushed further as he took a step towards her, the cup noodles in his hands being long forgotten. Lucy wanted to punch herself, throw herself to a pool of acid and drown, then be revived and do it all over again. And if embarrassment could kill, she would've kicked the bucket for awhile now.

"S-Shut up! I was just spacing out! Now give me that and go back to the living room!" She made a move to snatch it from him but he held it away from her, making her pout angrily before stomping down on his foot.

"Oowww! That hurts!" He cried as he held his aching foot and carefully blew on it. Lucy huffed.

"Serves you right. Now get out of this kitchen or I'll kick you out myself!" She glared at him and he shivered in fear. Muttering a quick, "A-Aye!", before running away from her murderous look.

"Hmp. Stupid Natsu." She began working on their little meal, boiling some water while she sprinkled the seasonings inside. After she poured the boiled water on their cups, she called for her friend, who silently sat beside her as they waited for another two minutes for the noodles to cook. After a silent two minutes, they both removed the covers, and Natsu immediately wolfed down the contents, not bothered by the steaming hot food. On the other hand, Lucy is blowing and huffing at her own food, which made her eat slower. Natsu finished his within seconds, and happily sighed after. He turned his head to watch the blonde, finding her turning red from all the furious blowing at her food, repeating the action on every scoop of the hot noodles. After a few more scoops, Natsu finally felt the pity on her.

"Give me that." Natsu said but took the cup from her anyways without waiting for an answer.

"Hey! You already ate yours!" Lucy tried to get her food from him, thinking that he's so greedy that he even wanted her own food. Natsu held it away from her reach as he gave one big blow on the spoon, before bringing it closer to her face.

"Here. Open your mouth." He said, and Lucy only blinked at the spoon in front of her. Not wanting to go all jumpy to wild thoughts again, she simply raised an eyebrow at him.

"You're feeding me?" She asked. But she's not sick, she can eat by herself.

"What does it looks like? You were taking so long to eat. I'm just helping you out." He moved the spoon closer to her mouth in a way of telling her to open up. On the other hand, Lucy was thinking why the hell Natsu is feeding her. So what if she's taking long? Did he develop a hobby of feeding people in the year that she was gone? This isn't like him at all. Brushing the thought aside as her stomach growled, she open up her mouth, letting Natsu feed her. Natsu continued to give blows on her food, feeding her quickly and in larger spoonfuls than Lucy could even manage to chew. She made no complaints though, simply enjoying her food without the trouble of having to cool it off. She surprisingly finished it fast, and she sighed happily, feeling full.

"Ah, that was good." She smiled and Natsu agreed with a grin. Not like he hated any food anyway.

"By the way, Natsu, let's go on a mission."

"What?"

Lucy didn't miss the look of surprise that passed his eyes, followed by hesitance. "I need some money. My rent's due soon." She sighed sadly at the thought of having to pay for a whole year worth of rent.

"If you're worried about your dept here, then no need. The guild's been paying for you while you were gone."

"R-Really? For a whole year?" Lucy felt a very heavy burden lifted up from her shoulders. A whole year's rent? With 70k jewels a month, then for a year that's.. she doesn't even want to do the math but that's surely expensive.

"Nhmm." Natsu nodded as he munched on some fire courtesy of a magic lighter by the kitchen. "We've been contributing."

Waaaah. Fairy Tail really is the best! She sniffled as she cried tears of happiness (and freedom from dept). "Thank you. -sniff- I got to thank everyone for this later too. I owe everyone for this."

"Well, yeah but it's almost due again this month. You gotta work for something." Lucy tried hard not to scold him for eating out her magic lighter, she should let him for now. Show some gratefulness, Lucy.

"I know. Wanna go for a job tomorrow?"

"Hm." He finally finished his snack, much to the blonde's displeasure, as he eyed her doubtfully. "I dunno. I mean your last one haven't really turned out nicely."

She rolled her eyes at him. "No, really. How could a mission like that turn out any better? Come on, Natsu. I need you to help me get some money!" She gave him a pleading look but he ignored it.

"I'm not sure.." He rubbed his neck uncomfortably, before turning back to look at her with a glint in his eyes. "I mean, what do I get?"

"What?" What does he get? Is that a question? Well duh, half of the reward of course!

"What do I get for accompanying you?" He repeated, leaning a little closer to her as he waited for an answer.

"Uh.." Well, what? What would she give him? And why the hell was he asking for anything other than the reward anyways? That's so unfair! "What do you want?"

He gave her a playful grin, twirling a piece of her hair. "I don't know. What do you think?"

"Fire food? Some fire? Another magic lighter?" She listed on and Natsu gave her an exasperated and an 'Are you serious?' look.

"No."

"Then what could it possibly be? Why not just tell me?" She flailed her arms about and Natsu sighed at her.

"Well, never mind. I'll go with you." He waved her off in a disappointed manner that Lucy couldn't help but feel badly curious.

"But what is it that you want?"

"You can guess."

"A new scarf?"

"Igneel's scarf is better than anything."

"More than half of the reward?"

"I'm not that greedy."

"A new set of pointy fangs?"

"Fangs?"

"Well, all dragon slayers have them."

"Which means I don't need any more of it."

"Longer ones then?"

"I don't need that!"

"But Gajeel's look sharper."

"It"s not! And he eats iron you know?"

"Excuses."

"Shut up. What gave you the stupid idea anyway?"

"I don't know."

"See? It's not even possible to get fangs as you say."

"Well, yeah. Whatever you say, Natsu."

"Yeah. So go on with your smart guesses."

"Don't be such a smarty pants. Speaking of pants, could it be some clothes then?"

"Not really."

"Food?"

"Uhm.. N-No."

"A fight?"

He looked at her with another incredulous look. "Seriously?"

Lucy laughed sheepishly. "Ahaha.. Nevermind that."

"Any other guess?"

"Love advice?"

"I had enough of that."

"What!?"

"Forget it."

"But-"

"Luce."

"What?"

"Just go on guessing."

"Ah, you want to play a prank on Gray?"

"I always do that!"

"Well, yeah but I thought you might want an accomplice with that."

"That's not a very bad idea." An evil smirk. " Well, what else?"

"I don't know."

"So you're giving up?"

".. Just tell me what it is."

"I don't wanna."

"Come on, Natsu! Don't be so hard!"

"That sounded so wrong.."

She blushed before hitting him. "Since when were you a pervert!?"

"Ow! I'm not a pervert! You're the one who said what you said!"

"Well, duh! But you're taking it in the wrong way!"

"Then choose your words properly."

"Why are you acting so mature?"

"I am mature! Always!"

"You liar."

"Hey!"

"One year had changed you this much?"

"I-!" He paused then sighed. "Fine. I guess you're right. I guess I kinda took a whiff of this." He took out a small and empty green bottle.

"Instant maturity: Man? Where did you get that?" Lucy couldn't believe that this dragon slayer would actually want to be more mature. A man!

Natsu scrunched up his face. "I didn't get it on purpose. That stupid Gajeel made me drink it all earlier while we were in that guild fight. Good thing it's not really full." He put the bottle back in his pocket. "I have to ask ji-chan about this later."

"Oh." Her eyes travelled down on the floor where she saw a crumpled paper. "What's that?" It must've fallen from his pocket when he took out the bottle. Natsu's eyes followed hers and he immediately reached for it, only to be beaten by Lucy.

"A mission?" She scanned the crumpled request. "Capture a potion maker. Natsu, why were you keeping this away from me?"

Natsu scratched his head uncomfortably, cursing his clumsiness. "Well, you just got back so I thought that you shouldn't really go out on missions for awhile.. You know.."

Lucy raised an eyebrow, placing her hands on her slender hips. "Natsu, are you thinking low of me? You think I can't do something as simple as this just because we failed at Horgo?"

"I-I.. uh.."

She pouted. His lack of proper answer is more than enough to prove her assumption. "Fine. We're going to do this first thing tomorrow morning."

"Wait don't-!"

"No, Natsu!" She roughly pressed the palm of her hand against his face, forcing him to shut up and to choke a bit, almost eating a portion of her palm. "I'm going to show you that I don't need you pitying over me or what."

The dragon slayer grabbed her wrist. "But Lucy, I am not pitying you or anything."

"Then?" She eyed him over. Even if this calmness of him is only due to a stupid potion, Lucy still feel weird about it. I mean, her Natsu acting like this? A playful thought crossed her mind, and she can't help the teasing smile that formed on her lips. "Natsuu, could it be that you're just worried of me?"

Natsu seemed surprised and he quickly turned his head away from her. "I-I wasn't.." He said as a cute little blush appeared on his face.

"Aww. You're soooo cuutee! You're being all shy!" Lucy giggled as she played with his cheeks. He's being all stubborn and cute! How irresistable! She wanted to squeeze him to death or until he pops. Waaah, tsun-tsun Natsuu.

"Heeeyy! Staaaph it, Lushyy!"

Lucy giggled as she pulled away, watching his red cheeks like he was blushing. But he's really not. His cheeks are just really sore.

"Geez, what's with the sudden attention I was getting." He commented as he rubbed his face, willing it to atleast stop being all flushed like a girly girl who's blushing. He spared her a side glance and found her still in that happy look of hers. "You're having too much fun."

Lucy giggled. "Yes, yes. I'm sorry Natsu. Anyways," She showed him the request again. "We'll do this tomorrow so go back home and sleep early. Maybe your old guy personality will fade away too." She said as she push him towards her door.

"Hey! What old guy? I ain't old!" He complained as they reach the door and Lucy opened it for him. When he didn't move an inch, the blonde blinked.

"What? Oh, you wanted to go through the window?"

Natsu face palmed. "No! I-! Ugh. You're so impossible. I'm going. See you tommorrow."

Natsu stomped away moodily while Lucy could not believe it. Natsu called her impossible? That's so not right! The world is not right if he's the one who thinks someone is immature! "I can't believe him. The world would not function right if Natsu ever matures for a bit. If he's even capable."

Lucy should've been more worried about what Natsu wants before going away, but clearly, she forgot about that the moment he called her impossible. Tomorrow will be the start of their easy mission.


Trivia:On the other versions of this chapter, Sora should've appeared. On other chapters, Natsu hasn't taken any potion and was just acting on his own. On another version, Lucy would've never been found by Fairy Tail, and instead she had went back by herself after leaving the God's Zone.


A/N: You caught me. I was running out of idea on the last part and so I wrote it as an undescribed convo. But to tell you all the truth, my favorite part here is their pointless conversation. It was so fun to write haha! XD And yeah, it's pretty much all I came up with for now, hehe sorry? Their mission on the next chapter would result into something else.. Something cute. Hihi. You guys can take a wild guess.

And yes, a bit of Nalu for this chapter! Next chapter will have more Nalu, I already finished it and I'll upload it as soon as a satisfying number of reads and reviews came.

Stop by our fb page, /mochimosh18, to check out the pics that I will post there about the / "slashed statements".

I think I will write a few chapters of missions and everyday life for them before I go all out on the WMG. Are you guys excited for that? Let's see how Fairy Tail will do in the World Magic Games! I am not going to guarantee their victory though. I have yet to decide on that. I think most of you have already got the main difference between Fiore's GMG to this story's WMG. I mean, the name is a big hint.

Did you hate it? Or like it? Tell me!
