Gray was the first to wake up and he was very disoriented. He realized that there was a body on top of him and that his hand was gripping another's. Without even looking he somehow knew that it was Juvia and carefully moved her off of him, too tired and disoriented to take a good look at her or notice her appearance.

"Oh my head." He said standing up. "I feel like a hangover."

"Gray." When his vision finally cleared he saw Wendy standing across from him and staring. "Gray is that you?"

"Yes of course it's me." He noticed that she was wearing the same clothes she had on yesterday. "Did you sleep here last night?"

"Ye...Yeah...I...After you all passed out I was worried."

She kept staring at him in a strange way. Looking at him like she wasn't sure if what she was seeing was actually there. It was the same way she had looked at him that first time they met but there seemed to be even more shock and disbelief in her gaze.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked.

"Gray...It is really you right? I'm not talking to somebody else right?"

"Yes. Why do you keep asking me that? Don't you recognize me?"

"Uh...Sort of and sort of not."

"What do you mean?"

"You don't exactly look like yourself anymore."

"I don't? Oh no I've grown a third eye haven't I?"

"No you still have two eyes alright."

Gray snapped his fingers to conjure up a mirror but nothing happened. He did it again and again and again but still no result.

"Hey what's going on?" He took off his right glove. "Why can't I-"

But he suddenly became speechless to discover that his right hand was no longer skeleton like. It had skin. Skin that wasn't rotten or decayed, fresh and lively skin. The kind people have when they were alive.

"Wendy." He said when he found the ability to talk again. "Can you go get me a mirror?"

Wendy searched the through the flat's long forgotten and discarded junk until at last she found a tall and sleek mirror which she hung on the wall. Gray moved slowly when he approached it and when he was finally close enough he could not believe what he saw in the looking glass. He didn't see his usual, dead looking self. He saw a very much alive looking man staring back at him.

The man in the mirror was young with thick auburn hair and skin that had a warmer color, greatly contrasting his grey-ish skin tone. His body looked healthier and stronger while possessing the overall appearance of someone charming yet at the same time rugged. The only things about him that had not changed were his facial structure and his eyes which were that same serious dark color they had been before.

"Is...Is that me?"

He moved his hand a few times to see if the man he saw in the mirror would mimic his movements. He did which could only mean that Gray and who he saw in the mirror were the same man. Then he jumped back when he felt something in his chest. It was a heart beat. He had a pulse. An actual pulse.

"What the hell happened?"

"I don't know." Wendy answered.

They heard the floor creak and turned to see Juvia move around as she too started to awake. They recognized her to be Juvia because her facial structure had not changed either but the rest of her, like Gray was very different.

"My goodness." She said "That was probably the strangest shut down of my entire afterlife."

She had long lustrous dark-brown hair with the fairest skin complexion imaginable that lacked the stitches she previously had and a light pink color now adorned her cheeks. When she opened her eyes they were still the forget-me not blue irises that they always were. Her figure seemed to have become more curvaceous which had a strange way of tempting the opposite sex to touch her yet at the same time made them fearful of tainting her. Her appearance was very graceful and demure-like, almost like an angel.

"Wendy who is this man?" Juvia asked referring to Gray.

"Juvia?" Gray said looking at her the same way Wendy had been looking at him when he first awoke.

"Yes." She replied.

His jaw dropped, Wendy had to push it back up to be closed.

"How do you know my name?" Juvia asked. "And how is it that you can see me?"

"Juvia he knows your name and he can see you because this is Gray." Wendy answered.

"What?" She looked at him in utter shock. "Gray is that actually you?"

He could only nod.

"Why do you look like that?"

"I...I...Uh...You...Look...Alive."

"Huh?"

"Juvia you might wanna look at your hands." Wendy suggested.

Juvia did and was surprised to find both her hands and arms lacked stitches and that her pale skin had gotten a little more pinkish. She walked over to the mirror and when she took in her new appearance, she felt a pulse from her beating heart. She had a heart. A beating heart. It was all so shocking that she found herself screaming.

"I'm alive!" She shrieked. "No! No! No! This is not happening! I can't be alive! I'm dead! This is...This is not happening! I've lost my mind! That's it! I've lost my mind!

"Juvia calm down." Gray said trying to keep her from screaming because he wasn't sure if anyone living other than Wendy can hear her.

"I have a pulse! I have a breath! Oh my God I could probably bleed!"

She screamed again.

"Ah! I'm up! I'm up! I'm up!" Natsu said sitting up.

"What's with all the screaming?" Lucy asked coming to. "Is somebody ceasing to exist?"

Once they were awake they turned to face each other and immediately took notice of the other person's appearance.

Natsu's body no longer had that grimey physique about it and it had become much more muscular. His hair was now a shiny, black color and a face that was clean shaven with a cute button nose. His teeth were completely white and straight with no trace of a hole or crack in any single tooth and they were in no way crooked. His eyes and facial structure remained the same by he appeared to be quite dashing.

Lucy's new appearance was quite striking. She now had strawberry-blonde hair, olive skin, and a long neck. She still retained her almond brown eyes and usual face but her veins were no longer visible and her body seemed to be have become much more slender, developing a small waist. Her looks were very vivacious and enticing. So different from her usual prudent manner.

"Who are you and how did you get in here?!" They both asked at the same time.

"I live here!" Lucy answered.

"No you don't!" Natsu said. "I live here and I've never seen you before in my afterlife! I don't know you lady!"

He then took noticed of her slim figure.

"Ooo...But I'd like to." He said and ending the phrase with an eyebrow raise and sexual growl.

Lucy scoffed and smacked him right across his face which hurt him ten times more than when she usually did it.

"Ow! That really hurt!" He said clutching his cheek which had a burning hand mark on it. "Wait a minute that hurt really bad...I'm not supposed to feel pain. At least not that much."

He looked up at the woman who had slapped him and noticed something very familiar about her face and her brown eyes full of disgust. He only knew one person with that face and those eyes.

"Lucy?"

"How do you know my name you creep?"

"Lucy?! That's really you?!"

"Yes!"

"Holy crap." His eyes scanned every single new feature on her. "Wow...And just when I thought you couldn't get any hotter."

"Ugh...Natsu why must you always say things that make my skin crawl." Then she finally realized who she was talking to. "Natsu?"

"Yeah babe?"

She moved closer to him and grabbed hold of his face, examining his features.

"Hey when I said I always wanted you to touch me this isn't what I meant." He said as she opened his mouth to check his teeth.

"God it sounds like you and it even looks a little like you but there's no way this is you."

"What's not me? What are you talking about?"

"Have you not seen yourself?"

"Me? What about you? If you hadn't of slapped me I wouldn't have recognized you."

"Not recognized me? What are you-"

"Allow me." Wendy said taking the mirror off the wall and moving it to where they could see each other.

Just like Gray and Juvia, the sight of their new appearance had them completely astonished and unsure if what they saw was real.

"Good sweet undertaker." Lucy said feeling around her face and hair with her hands. "This is impossible...This violates the laws of nature."

"I don't believe this." Natsu said moving around to see if his reflection would copy him just like Gray did. "I'm...I'm...I'm..."

"I know, you're alive." Wendy said.

"No I'm handsome." He smiled and looked over at the now living Gray and Juvia who he was able to recognize. "Awesome you guys are a lot easier on the eyes too. Funny, I knew that potion was supposed to make us look alive but I had no idea it would make us look sexy."

"What potion?" Lucy said looking at him sternly.

"Oh right." He said looking a little sheepish. "I guess I have some explaining to do and Lucy please don't hit me when you hear this."

"I make no promises."
