Natsu and Lucy stepped out of the vortex and into the center of the guild where they were met by cheers of 'Welcome Back'. Lucy stepped forward and talking how Jude taught her she spoke.

"Unfortunately the Dragonslayers failed to mark their mates on the full blood moon. My father has allowed the Dragonslayers to experience mating season once more, during the full lunar eclipse happening a few weeks from now. This time, since mates have been established we will NOT be locking them up, and Fairy Tail will be hosting ALL the Dragonslayers we know of." This was met by murmurs of worry and fear.

"Aw come on… Do you guys know the side effects of a mate not being marked?" Natsu asked, this was met by most of the guild shaking their head no.

"The mate can be stolen by another dragonslayer, leaving the other to die alone." Gajeel spoke up from the back of the guild. Makarov hopped off the bar and walked over to NaLu.

"Yes, but what to do about Cobra?" Makarov asked.

"He's been in jail for years. I'm sure that with my standing I can have him excused, and possibly Jellal." Lucy said, Erza stood up and walked over.

"I agree with their proposition." She said, standing behind Makarov.

"She just wants Jellal to be free." Lucy whispered to Natsu. They both snickered at this.

"What's so funny?" Erza asked innocently.

"Absolutely nothing." Lucy fibbed, and Erza didn't question, although she did send the couple in front of her a suspicious look.

"Well then, I suppose all the dragonslayers should be brought here, and you two should head to Crocus."

"Right away Gramps." Lucy said, "And on the way we're picking up my sister."

"Wait, what about the Devil's Snake?" Master Makarov asked.

"Don't worry, the safest place for Ana and I to be is with our dragonslayers. They do get protective after all." Lucy replied.

"That's an understatement, and you know it." Natsu replied, to this Lucy simply shrugged."Well get a move on!" Makarov yelled, enlarging his hands and pushing them out the door, Happy flying behind.

*~.o0O**#^ Past Tense ^#**O0o.~*

"C'mon Natsu, we're off the train… Walk yourself." Lucy groaned, Natsu lying on her back, feet trailing in the dirt behind them.

"Okay, Luce." Natsu said, getting off his wife's back and walking beside her, an arm slung over her shoulders. Happy flew in front of them and turned around, giggling into his paws.

"You liiiiike each other!" He trilled, but not getting the reaction he wanted.

"Well yeah, we are married." Lucy said.

"And mates!" Natsu chimed.

"And that." Lucy said, eyes landing on the staircase through the mountains.

"C'mon, there's a staircase." Lucy said, dragging her partners to the staircase.

~.o0O Time Skip O0o.~

"Here we are, Sabertooth." Lucy said as the approached the guild.

"We're here Sabers!" Natsu shouted, kicking in the doors simultaneously.

"Lucy!" Was the first noise made after this, and soon after Lucy was being tackled in a hug by what seemed to be herself.

"Hey Ana, any attacks?" Lucy asked, as if this was completely normal.

"Yeah, there was one, and they sent exactly a quarter of their troops. Any on your end?" Anastasia replied.

"Yeah, but we went to the Celestial Realm and we need you to come with us, and Sting and Rogue to go to FT." Lucy stated, gently shoving Anastasia off her.

"Why?"

"Because Fairy Tail is going to be hosting another mating season." Lucy replied.

"But it hasn't been 100 years." Ana stated."Dad's letting them experience it again during the lunar eclipse a few weeks from now."

"Ohhh… Sting! Rogue! Get over here!" Anastasia hollered, the twin dragons of Sabertooth showing up a few seconds later.

"Order of the Royal Celestial Family you are going to experience mating season once more. You are to go to Fairy Tail and await our return." Anastasia said like the royal she is.

"Aye ma'am!" They shouted with a bow, causing all the present mages to laugh.

"We'll go pack right away!"

"You go do that, and I'll be leaving. Oh! Rogue could you bring my things too? Thanks!" Anastasia exclaimed, pecking Rogues check at the end, causing him to flush once again, although he wasn't in complete shock this time.

The royal twins got changed into their extravagant gowns. Anastasia put on a red ball gown with ruffles going around the neck and lining the upper layer of the dress. Red bows with black roses atop them one on the neck, chest, waist, and skirt. Puffy sleeves completing the look.

Lucy wore a blue ball gown, the top of the dress being covered in a clear cloth adorned with silver stars, this cloth made the neck and sleeves of the dress. The cloth continued down to the top of the skirt. A blue belt with silver studs cinching the cloth at the waist, forcing the cloth to follow the shape of the dress.

"Okay Anastasia, we're ready." Lucy said before leading her sister out to Natsu.

"Natsu, Ana, this is my first time using this magic. You have been warned." Lucy said, the two backed up a bit.

"Auriga: Vehicle Spawn. Carriage!" Lucy shouted and a horse drawn carriage climbed inside after Natsu opened the door, Natsu then climbed in and closed the door. He was immediately sick. They soon arrived at the palace to be greeted by armed guards. Natsu stepped out of the carriage and confronted the guards.

"I am Natsu Dragneel, and I request that the Celestial Princesses see the King." He said as formally as possible. The guards murmured amongst themselves before coming to a decision.

"Prove that they're the princesses." The guard on the left spoke. Natsu walked back to the carriage and opened the door.

"Your highnesses. The guards ask for confirmation as to who you are." The girls walked out of the carriage gracefully and Natsu closed the door behind them.

"Auriga: Vehicle Spawn. Despawn!" The carriage disappeared in a cloud of stars and light. The guards seemed to be impressed, they did let the three mages in after all. They walked through the lavishly decorated halls, Natsu leading them like an escort. They arrived at the throne room and a few guards announced their arrival, which seemed to peak Princess Hisui's interest.

"King Toma, Princess Hisui." Lucy greeted with a curtsy, Anastasia and natsu followed her lead.

"Lucy. Why might there be two of you?" Princess Hisui asked.

"Princess Hisui, I am Anastasia Heartfilia, lost twin of Lucy Dragneel." Anastasia explained.

"I see. I have long awaited the return of my friend's daughters, and their memories." Toma said."Your friendship with our father explains Princess Hisui's magical abilities." Lucy and Anastasia spoke in unison.

"Please, enough formalities Lucy, Anastasia, Natsu. We are all friends here." The king expressed.

"Of course Toma. We have come to barter the freedom of two individuals." Lucy said, peaking the King's interest.

"And who might they be?" He asked curiously.

"A friend of our's crush by the name of Jellal Fernandez." The king nodded, signaling for Anastasia to continue.

"And former member of the Oracion Seis, who goes by the code name of Cobra." The King and Hisui were shocked.

"We cannot release him without a very good reason my friends." Hisui spoke.

"Of course. You see mating season for the dragonslayers is in a few weeks, and a colleague of ours is his mate. All we wish for is for them to reunite, but this time she won't be a snake." Lucy responded.

"No, mating season happened last year. We had him under special lock down, it will not occur for another 100 years." The king stated.

"Yes, but my father-in-law is allowing us to experience it at the same time as Luce. Giving us another chance to mark our mates before we die." Natsu spoke for the first time in this room. The king sighed, recognising exactly what two of these mages have done for the kingdom.

"Very well, but we will still be needing the sum for all charges against them to be dropped."

"We understand." Lucy said, handing over 900,000 jewel. The king did not expect his crown to be placed inside one of the bags.

"Your lucky sir. Natsu doesn't usually return things he puts in his hoard." Lucy giggled, Natsu glaring at her for bringing up his hoard.

"Lucy. You don't go talkin' about other people's hoards!" Natsu exclaimed angrily, but no one was scared.

"You know, I've already had a new crown made… I'd rather not take from a dragon's hoard." Toma said, handing back the crown which Natsu took happily.

"See! Now I really am a prince! I have a crown!" He exclaimed, placing the crown atop his head.

"What might you be the prince of?" Hisui asked."My father is Igneel, King of the Fire Dragons, and I am married to one of the Princesses of the Celestial Realm!" He happily replied, draping an arm over Lucy's shoulders.

"Ah, yes. Your friends will be here in a minute. May I ask how my spirits are doing? I haven't called on them for quite some time now." Hisui spoke.

"Well, when I met them they seemed fairly happy, but I suggest you speak to them yourself, Hisui." Lucy replied, Jellal and Cobra walking in.

"Lucy! Natsu!" Jellal exclaimed, surprised to see familiar faces.

"Hi, Jellal! I'm Anastasia!." She exclaimed, going to shake his hand. When Jellal gave a questioning look she simply said.

"We'll explain later." Before turning to Cobra.

"Erik. You will be on your best behavior on the way to see Kinana, or I WILL use your own magic against you." Erik glared at hearing his own name, and flinched when he remembered how Natsu defeated him.

"Guard. May I have the keys to the handcuffs?" Anastasia asked sweetly, the guard begrudgingly obliged. She turned back to the ex-fugitives and uncuffed Jellal, who opened his mouth to protest.

"Sush. You ee possessed. I trust you." Jellal shut his mouth happily.

"What about me?" Cobra asked.

"NO. I do not trust you, we are letting you see Kinana, or as you know her, Cubelios. You should be grateful." She said sternly, sufficiently shutting him up, especially since her aura flared up with power."We will be taking our leave now. King Toma, Princess Hisui, thank you." She said before summoning one of erza's swords and walking Cobra out, Jellal at her side.

~.o0O Time Skip O0o.~

"Auriga: Vehicle Spawn. Carriage!" Lucy exclaimed and, once again, a carriage appeared, they walked inside. Lucy, Natsu, and Jellal sat to the back. Facing Jellal sat Anastasia, who still had a sword pointed at Cobra, who was sitting next to her.

"Could you explain now?" Jellal asked.

"One sec." Anastasia replied before feeding both dragonslayers a vial of blue liquid, fixing their motion sickness.

"A long time ago Layla Dreyar Heartfilia conceived twin girls for the Celestial Spirit King. One held the blood of a dragon, the other a power that would of created an instant war. Jude hated these children and sealed the dragon inside of Lucy. The night after that painful operation Layla sent me to another world, to live without magic until my 12th birthday. Time goes slower there.

I was brought back by our grandfather Makarov Dreyar, and Team Seal Breaker set out to break the seals on Lucy's true magic. Right after the last seal was broken she left or the spirit world to train for a year. Which roughly brings us to now!" I explained, but Jellal had more questions.

"What is this power that would create instant war?" Cobra answered for me, hearing my thoughts.

"Doppelganger. Basically, Blondie can copy magic except holder type and Zeref's."

"Cut parlor trick. Dick." She replied, causing Erik to anger.

"What'd you call me?!"

"I called you Dick, cause you're a one-eyed snake." Everyone except Anastasia gasped.

"When did my sister become perverted?!" Lucy asked, completely in shock.

"I didn't, the boys in my classes were though. Hung out with them a lot. Asked some questions." She responded with a shrug as if it was nothing."Well, in any case we're here." She said hopping out of the carriage, Erik held hostage in front of her. When she burst through the doors the guild was very confused. Who wouldn't be by a royal looking woman, not acting like a lady and pushing a fugitive in handcuffs forward by a sword.

"Kinana! I found 'im!" She shouted and Kinana came running.

"Erik-sama!" She shouted, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"C-Cubelios?" Stuttered Erik, "But, but you were a snake!" Kinana released him from her hug.

"I was, but I was originally Kinana. You met be because on my way to the tower Precht cursed me." Erik broke down, he placed his hands in the air and brought them down so he could hug Kinana with the handcuffs on.

"Oh! Erza! We brought Jellal!" Anastasia shouted and an uncuffed Jellal walked through the doors and to an Erza eating strawberry cake.
