DISCLAIMER: THERE IS DIALOGUE IN HERE VERY SIMILAR IF NOT EXACTLY FROM 100 YEAR QUEST MANGA. ALSO, I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE FAIRY TAIL CHARACTERS, ONLY MY OCS

ALSO, SPOILER ALERT! IF ANYONE HAS NOT READ THE 100 YEAR QUEST, DON'T READ THIS PART, OR ANYTHING AFTER!

Lucy and Natsu snicker at the two mages. as they walk out. "They have a weird relationship, huh. I'm kinda excited to see how Juvia will react."

"Mark my words, it won't be good."

"Well, good for us. Bad for Juvia, Gray, and Amaya. It'll be interesting for sure." Lucy says excitedly. She's not sure why she's so excited about a girl that she only just met, but Amaya has a vibe. She flows with ease and emits an aura that Lucy is drawn to. She sees her confidence and her insecurities clearly. She isn't sure why, but she feels she could trust Amaya, as little as they knew each other.

Happy and Natsu smile mischievously. "It's gonna be funny watching them react later. But for now, we need to go on that quest."

Then suddenly, she looks at Natsu. Her memories, clear as day, came back, flashing back. Their first job. Gray, Natsu, and herself. Happy too. Fighting against fate, getting back up. Natsu seeing Igneel pass. Natsu after he won against Acnologia. These memories come back so suddenly, that Lucy can't hold in her tears.

"Lucy! Are you gonna come on the job or not?" Natsu yells into her ear. Lucy turns around, tears forming in her eyes.

"Wh-Whoa. What's wrong, Lucy?" Natsu asks.

"Is it a tummy ache?" Happy adds worridley.

Lucy cries into her hands, rubbing her tears away. "I was just... remembering stuff, and...tears just started coming out..."

Lucy jumps into Natsu, hugging him tightly. Tears still flow out of her eyes. She smiles, still crying, and says "If I hadn't met you two, I wouldn't be who I am today. Thank you so much. Thank you!" She cries into Natsu's shoulder. They had been through so much together. All the near-death moments, all the fights, never giving up. They had a bond thicker than blood.

Happy and Natsu look at each other. Happy shrugs awkwardly, and Natsu turns back to Lucy.

"Actually, Lucy. There's one other thing I wanted to tell you."

Natsu grabs Lucy's arm tightly.

"Huh? What-? Let go of me!"

"But never mind that!" Natsu says, then grabs Lucy's arm and drags her out of Amaya/Natsu's house. She flies from behind him. "Let's go do that job!"

"Aye, Sir!"

"Wha-?!"

"Here I am, moved to tears, and you say 'never mind?!' That's so mean!" Lucy cries, smiling slightly.

"Really, it doesn't really matter!" Natsu says, grinning at Lucy. "'Cause we're always gonna be together now, whether you like it or not!"

Lucy looks at him, and smiles, the last of her tears falling. She smiles and nods. "I still need to pack, though! I only helped Amaya! I need to get ready!"

"Already taken care of!" Natsu replies, grinning back at her.

"Natsu! Please Hurry!" Wendy says, waving at the pair. Amaya stands next to her, smiling warmly at the two.

"Sheesh! It's about time," Carla mutters annoyedly. "Are you trying to get left behind?"

"All right. Let's go!" Erza proclaims, giving them her proud smile.

"100 Year Quest, here we come! I'm all fired up!" Natsu says happily, and they're off. Off on an adventure that could last for weeks, months, even years! An endless adventure. There would be dangers, perils, threats on their lives. But they don't care. This is their life now, wasn't it? Lucy is glad, so glad, that she joined Fairy Tail. She is so happy with these people in her lives. Old friends, like Natsu and Erza, and new ones, too. Like Amaya, someone they just met, and didn't even question letting her join their group, even though they barely know her. This is her life, too.

"Yeah!"

"Look! There's snow!" Natsu exclaims happily, lifting his hands up to catch snow. He dances around, and Amaya feels second hand embarrassment.

"What a kid," she mutters, looking up and watching the snow fall slowly.

"Aye sir!" Happy exclaimes. What's with that?

"Even when it's so sunny out?" Gray questions, glancing at the sky and back at the ground to look at the snow.

"How strange," Erza agrees.

"I don't think this is snow," Amaya says slowly. The others look at her, befuddled.

Wendy nods. "This is... light. Not snow."

"It's magic," Lucy says curiously. "Ethernano is coalescing into crystals big enough for us to see."

"Oh, cool! Anyway, let's build a snowman!" Natsu replies excitedly, then rolls up the light into a big snowball.

"If it's magic, then he'll be a magicman, silly!" Happy responds, making a slightly smaller snowball.

"Idiots," Amaya says blankly, sighing. She feels she needs to take responsibility when the others are thinking. She grabs the ears of Natsu and Happy and brings them back to the rest of the group.

"Okay, okay. Jeez, I'll stop. Let go, ow ow ow..."

"This place is so pretty. It's just filled with magic, though," Lucy remarks, looking up at the sky.

"Yeah, I guess. Keep you pants on, everybody." Gray replies, already half naked. Amaya soon follows. They are definitely both Ur's students.

"You know, this reminds me of the old days when we would train with Ur and Lyon, back up in the mountains." She speaks emptily. "There was a lot of snow and ice on mountains, similar to this."

Gray nods, turning to the girl. "I also got that vibe. But, it's not really cold. And I can't see ice anywhere."

"The oldest guild in the world... Magia Dragon. I suppose that we're getting close to it." Erza states, staring into the distance. "Any minute now."

"What exactly is this quest about?" Amaya can't help but wonder aloud. She once again drags Natsu and Happy away from their snowball fight and hits their heads, making them pay attention. The half-naked girl pulls their ears tightly.

"In order to officially accept the 100 Years Quest, we came to the continent of Giltena, as you know. It's, if you wanna know the geography, a unknown continent. It's not Ishgar or Alakitasia," Erza replies, "We're currently looking for the Magia Dragon guild, said to be the World's First Guild."

"I wonder what kinda dragon it's gonna be," Natsu blabbers excitedly, smiling at no one in particular.

"I doubt that there will be a actual dragon, Natsu. You know, most of them disappeared or died off during the Dragon War." Amaya remarks. "It's probably just the guild name."

"Yeah, Natsu. It's just a name, dummy. Where is the fairy in Fairy Tail, huh?"

"In front of you!"

"That's not funny, Lucy."

"I was being serious."

"Mythical beings and creatures are often mentioned in mage guild names. For example. Lamia Scale, the guild Lyon is in, is named after a beast. Sabertooth, Mermaid Heel. All named after mythical beasts," Erza says proudly

"You're right!" Wendy responds in astonishment. "Cait Shelter, too!"

Amaya nods knowingly, and they reach their destination in no time. Amaya is not used to talking much during long travels. But her new team seems fine with it.

Amaya checks on Tomoko, who hasn't said a word since the beginning of the trip. She can read her friend pretty well, and she can tell that Tomoko is pretty nervous. After all, she's not the best at socializing with newcomers. She pats her head in reassurance, and Tomoko looks at Amaya gratefully. Tomoko then attempts to fly off and talk to Carla.

"See, I told you! There is a dragon!" Natsu declares happily, pointing at the tall statue on top of the building. The sight in front of them looks much like an old castle with a dragon statue on top. A bit of excessive decoration, and flags in the front, too. They even had style.

"That's a statue, Natsu," Amaya replies, and it is. It's a gigantic statue made out of what seems to be gold and some type of metal.

"Let's go," Erza says, and the group walks into the building.
