After all the craziness on Tenrou island had passed, we learned that seven years have passed along with it! I guess time flies when your saving the world, it's like something out of a book! I never imagined I'd experience anything like it first hand, but I think that's part of the job. We made some incredible memories since I joined Fairy Tail, and I don't think I'll ever forget that night. We jam packed seven years worth of drinking, dancing, and singing into one party. Wow, it's good to be home again.
"What!?"
"Y-you're married?! W-When did this happen?" Erza spazzed as she talked to Bisca and Alzack
"I wish you guys could have been there, poor thing nearly passed out when I proposed, it was adorable-" Bisca boasted
"Did you have to bring that up?" Alzack scratched the back of his head
The red head blushed
"Noooo! How could you get married without me there!?" She shook Max back and forth using him as a punching bag
"Please, someone stop her-" Max begged
"I have to say I'm quite bummed too, I wish we all could have been there-" Mira agreed smiling
"That's wonderful!" Lisanna clasped her hands together
"Do you have children?" She asked
"We have a daughter-" Bisca replied
"We named her Asuka" Alzack said
"R-Reedus? I-Is this was I t-think it is?" The sky dragon slayer stuttered holding a sheet of paper in her hands
"Oui! I tried to imagine what you would look like seven year older and the drawing was the end result" Reedus replied
"M-My C-Chest..." She whispered as she trembled
"Is there a problem?" Reedus spoke with concern
"Did you draw me Reedus?" Vyra chimed into the conversation
"Oui Oui Vyra, I drew everyone in the guild" He then pulled out a bunch of drawings handing one of the Moonlight Mage to Wendy as Vyra peeked over her shoulder
"Wow Reedus-" The bluenette paused as she blinked staring at the drawing
"I look gorgeoussssss!" She shouted as she sparkled around the table consisting of Gajeel, Lily, Happy and Carla
"As you always are, Lady Vyra" Lily nodded
"I told you to drop the lady part Lily-" Vyra replied snapping at the cat
"Wow this is surprising-" Carla gasped as she saw a photo the three exceeds
Those were some buffed up kitty cats
"Why am I wearing a loincloth?" Lily sweat dropped
"You know, we we're gone for a very long time, I wonder if the other Exceeds were worried about us-" Happy began
"I'm doubtful of that-" Lily began
"Exceeds have a different sense of time than humans. I find I highly unlikely that our absence was unnoticed."
"T-This isn't fair" Wendy cried
"Why does reality keep crushing my dreams like this?"
"Is there something wrong with the picture?" Reedus scratched the back of his head
The front doors of the guild then flew open
"Welcome!" Kinana shouted
"How wonderful-"
"It seems the rumors were true-"
"Who are these bozos?" Elfman questioned
"Hey, I think I know!" Mira put a finger up to her chin
"Hello my lovelies!" A pink haired girl winked
"It's a little reductive when they haven't aged in seven years-"
"You barely have been back for nearly two days and you already trashed the place-"
"No way!" Gray looked over
"Woah! It's Lamia Scale!" Lucy shouted
"Blue Pegasus and Lamia Scale helped us search for Tenrou Island longer than anyone else would" Max proclaimed
"We appreciate it" Erza thanked the guild
"Well I guess we owe you on man" Gray looked over to his rival
"I love to take you up on that, but I've got seven years on you now and i'm not the guy that tries to take advantage of children" Lyon retorted
"Yeah, yeah rub it in-" Gray rolled his eyes and Vyra puffed out her cheeks
Lyon then looked over to a certain water mage and was stuck in a trance
He slowly walked over to her as his face began to burn
"I never believed in true love until now!" He confessed holding onto her shoulder taking Juvia by surprise
"Woah- I don't think he's playing around!" Lucy, Vyra, and Levy's heads popped up in the background
The Moonlight Mage broke out in a fit of laughter
Finally, she gets a taste of her own medicine
"He has no idea what he's getting himself into..." Gray sweat dropped
The excitement never ends. For those of us on Tenrou Island, only a week had passed. But for our friends and family a long lonely stretch of suffering has finally come to an end. When I think about what they went through, a strange sense of guilt from their pain courses through my body. That's a long time to wait...
"B-But Laki, I have no money l-left..." Wendy stuttered as she cried holding up her little wallet
"Consider it a debt okay?" Laki reassured her
All the ladies who we're at Fairy Hills that disappeared for seven years had the same crisis
Seven years of debt to be paid.
Just hearing those numbers crunch through each guild members mind made them be in a state of panic.
"Thanks Laki, looks like we've gotta hit the high paying jobs right Wendy?" Vyra commented coming around the corner
"Right!" The little girl perked up
.
.

'Wow, just as I left it...' Vyra thought as she entered her apartment putting the keys on the side table
The odd thing about it was that it was super clean
The bluenette collapsed onto her bed staring at the ceiling before sitting up and looking around
Photos of herself and Gray, Natsu, and Laxus (Young Laxus and Vy) we're dusted on her bookshelf, jewelry put away, her shoes in a line
The bluenette wasn't exactly the cleanest person in the world, she was tidy yes, but not to the extreme
Everyone that was left at the guild during those years must've come by Fairy Hills every so often with the hope that they carried in their hearts that their guild mates were still out there.
Vyra sorrowfully smiled thinking of all the pain they endured during those seven years as she flipped her hair over her shoulder
She then got up from her bed, went over to her dresser and opened the top drawer shuffling around some clothes until she found what she was looking for
"So it's still here-" The girl said out loud to herself holding an old photograph
It was a photo of herself and Jellal as young children.
"Hmph-" She let out a sigh as she stared at the picture
"Probably still in prison-" She huffed dropping the photo in the drawer slamming it shut
Now was the time when she started to really think about things. They we're gone for a whole seven years presumably dead, now brought back to life- what the heck!?
Fairy Tail really is a special guild and the bluenette was honored to be a part of it.
Dusk was slowly creeping upon the town of Magnolia so the girl went out for a walk. Seeing the sun set was just her favorite part of the day. Hues of orange, pink and purple filled up the sky as she sat upon a hill.
Not that far away a certain ice mage was also on a stroll until his eyes fell upon his blue haired beauty
"Couldn't stay home either?"
The girl twisted around to see Gray, standing slightly behind her
"Yeah" The bluenette replied as she looked back at the sunset as he sat beside her
"Seven years is a long time-" Vyra began as she put her arms back in the grass to support herself
"I know-" Gray replied as he put a hand on top of hers as she leaned her head on his shoulder
A couple days later
"The Grand Magic Games? What is that?" Erza questioned Macao and Wakaba after hearing their argument as the rest of the guild began to take interest into their conversation
Natsu, Happy, Lucy and Wendy arrived back to the guild from visiting Porlyusica
Gray and Vyra we're sitting at a table enjoying some lunch along with Levy, Jett, and Droy
Bisca and Alzack were playing with their daughter Asuka as Maccao was trying to scold Romeo but the hot headed boy wasn't having any of it
"While you guys were away at Tenrou Island, a tournament started to determine Fiore's top guild!" Romeo sprang up
"Sounds like a whole lot of fun to me-" Natsu replied crossing his arms
Guilds across the country face off against one another in magic events- and they call it the Grand Magic Games!" Romeo cheered
"Wow that sounds totally amazing!" Lucy said
"Yeah I'd love to play some games" Wendy chimed in
"So it's more like a magic festival?" Gray questioned with his arm around Vyra
"I see, Sabertooth is the top guild in Fiore because they won the last go around-" Erza concluded
"That's right, but if we can beat them, then we will be number one instead!" Romeo shouted
"Then what are we waiting for? Sign us up!" Vyra slammed a fist on on the table
Blue flames were in her eyes matching Natsu's orange ones
Gray slowly scooted himself away from the moonlight mage
He knows how she gets when she hears the word competition or contest for that matter
Lets just say the ice mage didn't what to get in the way of her 'competitive spirit' a.k.a he didn't feel like dying today
"That would be nice, but im not entirely sure we can win with our state of disarray... I'm a bit concerned" Makarov put a hand up to his chin
"Yeah, but if we do win then the guild will get 30 million jewel in prize money!" Romeo finished as Makarov's eyebrows rose up
"We're in!" He shouted
"Oh yeah!" Natsu, Romeo, and Vyra hoorayed
"Seriously?!" Macao questioned
"But master-" Droy began
"It's going to be really hard!" He shouted
"Don't forget we've come in dead last every freaking time we entered..." Jett muttered
"Well this year we'll just have to beat all the other guilds to a pulp!" Makarov began air punching
"So when does this thing go down anyway?" Natsu asked the younger mage
"It kicks off in three months!" Romeo replied
"All right that's plenty of time!" Natsu began as he slammed his fists together
"We gotta start training asap, we're going to put Fairy Tail back on top and nobody is going to get in our way!" the dragon slayer shouted as everyone else began to smile
"Alright so let's go-" Gray said as he was completely shirtless, resting his head into his palms
"Yeah!" Lucy agreed
"If we all work together as a guild then" Vyra began
"Nothing can stop us" Erza finished
"I better start practicing these spells grandeeney wanted me to learn huh?" Wendy smiled
"It's about time we got a chance to cut loose!" Happy twirled
"It seems like this guild is always looking to party..." Carla smirked
"This is going to suck..." Droy sighed
"Please tell me your joking..." Jett moaned
"Come on guys-" Levy looked up
"Where's your team spirit?" She questioned
"This really isn't a good idea" Alzack said
"I don't think you guys understand, the games aren't your typical fighting games-" Bisca agreed
"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Natsu looked over
"It's absolute hell" Warren stated
"Now that the final decision has been made, there's no need for all this moaning and groaning. So let's get to work and win that 30 million jewel and the title of Fiore's number one guild!" Makarov preached
"FAIRY TAIL IS ENTERING THE GRAND MAGIC GAMES AND IS AIMING FOR THE TOP!"
"YEAH!" All the guild members shouted raising up their drinks with smiles from table to table
A/N: I don't know if I mentioned this before but Vyra's face tattoo (The same one as Jellal) is visible. A lot of people ask me this question so i'm just confirming :) Grand Magic Games here we come!
