In this world, magic appears to be filled with limitless possibilities. There's almost nothing it can't do. While some do use this amazing power to help others, there are those who wish to use it for other reasons. Inside a dark room that was lit by torches, eight figures stood with plans of using magic for something that would seem impossible.

"The time has finally come..."

"The time to take a stand."

"Finally. After all these years..."

"Hahahah... The world as we know it is about to change forever."

"Are you sure about this? We can finally reveal ourselves, but there is still much to be done for our grand plan."

"Why question it? After all that we've endured, our time is finally at hand."

"Of course, there are others that are ignorant. Shall we recruit them? They might not agree with us and choose to stand against us."

"The time for us to hide in the shadows can finally end. It's time we take a stand and change this world no matter what others might think." Whoever these people are, they have something grand planned. What do they have planned?

"Soon, the great dragons shall soar through the sky once again, and we will take down anyone who would dare interfere with our plans." They all liked the sound of that. Who are these people that they claim to bring the dragons back?

...

In this magical world exist facilities that are known as guilds. Some view guilds as just places for people to get work, but others see them like a home with the members being as close as family. One guild took that to heart. It is known as Fairy Tail.

"Hey, Nashi. You doing okay?" Mirajane asked a girl who wore a red jacket with a light pink top and black skirt and had a white scarly scarf around her with her wearing black boots. She also had pink hair. She was very known through the guild and some places of the country. She is Nashi Dragneel.

"I'm okay, Mira." Nashi said as she leaned against the bar counter. "Just a little boring around here."

"The others are out doing their own thing?" Mirajane asked.

"Yeah... We're all still close, but we haven't done anything together as a whole team for a while." Nashi said. "I was actually hoping some of them would be around, but it looks like they're not."

"I think I get it. Ever since the war ended, things have gone rather smoothly around here." Mirajane said. "Can I get you anything?"

"No thanks." Nashi said as she walked over to a table and had a seat thinking of all that has been going on. Fairy Tail is one of the strongest guilds in the country and Nashi and her friends have done well to keep it that way. After their last great battle, much has happened.

'It's been about two or three years since the war with the Duat Kingdom ended.' Nashi narrated. 'My friends and I are now about twenty and have moved on with our lives. Ever since the war ended, things have been going rather well and peacefully around here. There's no maniac threating lives or trying to pick a fight with us. My friends and I have moved on with our lives. Me for example moved out of my parents' house and got my own apartment like Mom did. My friends and I might not go on jobs together as much anymore since we're all incredibly strong together, but we're still close. Speaking of which, Gale and Storm did go on a job together.'

...

Storm and Gale

"Ice Demon Zero Longsword!" Storm slashed through some vulcans and knocked them all down. His new attire consist of a leather jacket with a red shirt. He wore black fingerless gloves and black pants that had white snowflakes on his knees with boots. "This is almost too easy. How are you doing, Gale?"

"I'm good on my part." Gale said as he sat on a pile of vulcans. Gale his attire is about the same as before, but wore a black shirt with grey pants.

"Well, I guess we're done here. It's getting late. You just want to spend the night here before getting back to the guild?" Storm asked.

"Sure, but do you really want to do that?" Gale questioned in a teasing tone. "Don't you want to hurry back to Nashi? With you here, Drake's going to make his move."

"What could happen over night?" Storm said. "Besides, she hasn't exactly made it clear which one of us she wants to be with." When he said that last part, he looked away like he was disappointed.

"Hey... Don't take it too hard. You know how her father gets when dating is mentioned around him and it involves her." Gale said. "Nashi has zero experience with this sort of thing. She probably just has no idea what to do."

"I guess you would know since you're desperate to get a girlfriend." Storm mocked.

"Wha... Wha... Hey!" Gale said.

...

The Guild

'We're all still as close as ever, but we've all grown and had some changes in our lives.' Nashi narrated as she looked back as to how much has changed in the past couple years. 'Gale's trying to get a girlfriend, but he's having a hard time with that. Some people like the idea of some of us together. There's Simon and Sasha, but...'

...

Simon and Sasha

Simon and Sasha were up in the mountains and were doing some training of their own. The two of them clashed their weapons against each other. After a few strikes, the two of them jumped back.

"Not bad, Sasha." Simon said. His new attire is of him wearing a navy blue jacket that went to his knees. He wore grey pants tucked into some black boots and wore a blue shirt.

"It's not like I've been sitting around the last two years." Sasha said. Sasha maintained her regular hair style, but she now wore a black vest with a black strapless and leather top. She wore a grey skirt with some boots that reached her knees and wore black bands on her arms. "Had enough for today?"

"Yeah, as well as my mother spying on us." Simon said as he turned to a rock and saw Erza spying on them. She felt in trouble. "Mom, I invited you to help us with our training. Not so you could spy on us." He complained.

"I'm sorry. I was just curious, but I didn't want to interrupt your alone time together." Erza said.

"Alone time?! Don't be ridiculous!" Simon said as he and Sasha were blushing. Just like that, things were awkward between them. "Mom, quit it with these silly ideas about me and Sasha."

"Yeah, like I would date someone who's mother is so revealing. What if he's like her?" Sasha said.

"Says the woman who is a pair of heals and a removal of a piece of clothing away from being considered a dominatrix." Simon said.

"What?!" Sasha said with some fury.

...

The Guild

'Those two aren't together, but everyone's hoping. They're just a little awkward when it comes to the whole thing.' Nashi narrated. 'I guess we're all a little sensitive or something to this whole dating thing. Oh! This actually reminds of me of a little incident Nova had with her brother.'

...

Flashback

Nova was on her way to her brother's apartment. Nova's attire was about the same as before as well. She walked up to the door and knocked on it. She heard a strange sound coming from the other side. Then, the door opened up with Damien hiding behind it.

"Hey, Nova... What's up...?" Damien said between breaths.

"Hey, Damien..." Nova said as she thought this was strange. He was breathing hard, was all sweaty, and had no shirt on. "Raio and I were planning to go out and get breakfast together. I thought that you might like to join us."

"Oh... Uh... Sure. Just go on without me while I get ready." Damien said.

"Damien, what's going on in there? Why are you all sweaty and out of breath?" Nova questioned.

"Nothing. I was just...exercising." Damien said, but Nova wasn't sure.

"Damien... Where are you?" Someone called in a playful tone.

"Is that Bella in there?" Nova said. Damien has been seeing Bella from Blue Pegasus since the war ended. Obviously, the relationship has grown to a more "adult" level. He wasn't really sure what to say. "You know what, this is clearly a bad time. How about you meet us there?" Nova was a little awkward about the whole thing and just walked away. Damien did feel embarrass about the whole thing.

"We got a few more minutes." Damien said as he went back inside with the perfect way to forget about it. Nova just went back down to the streets where Raio was waiting for her.

"Is he coming?" Raio said.

"He'll...meet us there." Nova said.

'We've all grown and change, but I think Nova is making the biggest change.' Nashi narrated. Raio and Nova joined hands and started walking with a ring on Nova's finger being shown. 'It's to imagine, but Nova and Raio are actually engaged. Nova's the first one of our group to actually get married.'

End of Flashback

...

'Some people think they're a little young to be getting married, but Raio only proposed recently. We still got about a year or so to go with planning and such before the big day actually comes around.' Nashi narrated. 'If that was me, I would have been completely embarrassed. Still, it's a little hard to imagine Damian is doing "that" with his girlfriend. Maybe the others... I wonder...' When Nashi thought about what it be like to have an intimate relationship. When she did, her face was turning all red.

"Wait! What am I thinking?!" Nashi said as she tried to snap herself out of her own thoughts. 'Every time I think about something like that I get all flushed.' She thought. 'I don't even have a boyfriend. I'm not even sure I'm ready for something like that. It's not like I'm trying. I couldn't even mention dating when I was around Dad. Urgh... Growing up is a difficult time.' After defeating the Duat Kingdom and Ankhselam, the greatest enemy she and her friends faced, they all moved on with their lives and have grown into young adults. However, their greater challenges are just ahead of them.
