Hey, fairy tail fans, here we are, the first filler arc of the series. Seeing that I like many who isn't the biggest fan of this arc, I've decided to have my own exclusive stories right here (pretty much my filler.) However, I might add an episode from the series like cherry blossom or a 24-hour endurance race, but I'm undecided. If you have a suggestion, let me know in the comments.
These first two chapters will focus on Wendy as she adjusts to her new life in a shorter story format, don't expect anything too long as it's mostly coming from my head on the spot
now on to the story
Wendy stood over several graves at the former home of the Cait shelter guild letting out a sigh as she placed the final tombstone "nabra, may your souls have safe travels," she said. She didn't care if they weren't real. They meant the world to her, raised her, gave them a home when the only family she knew left her thoughts flew to Natsu. It was no secret that the two had some connection, but right now wasn't the time
behind her stood Fairy tail watching in silence as the young girl said her final goodbyes. Natsu had given the idea to put her old guilds' souls to rest and a way for them to be remembered they would be leaving soon to get home
Natsu walked up to Wendy and placed a hand on her shoulder. As she stood up, she turned and hugged him hearing her soft whimpers; Natsu smiled at Roubaul's last request for them to take care of the two he left behind "it's going to be okay," he told her as he got on eye-level with her "soon it's going to be the first day of your new life."
As they got ready to go, they noticed Jura approach them 'I see you're taking your leave," he told them, "I'll be sure to give master Makarov your regards," he said, " I hope you have safe travels back to your home" he hated leaving on such a note. Still, he wanted to try to make for it with the dark guild. Returning solo wizards could be a turning point, especially fairy tail.
"yeah," Natsu told the wizard, "and Jura," he said, catching his attention. Natsu reached out his hand, smiling, "it was an honor," he told him. "Makarov was right about you; you are the true definition of what a wizard saint should be," Natsu told him.

A smile broke out on Jura's face "same to you, Natsu," he said as he shook Natsu's hand, "do well, and if you are ever in any need of assistance, please don't hesitate to call the Lamia scale guild."
"and Gray," Lyon said, " be sure to fix that stripping Habit," Lyon told him as he was in his underwear.
"oh, as you can talk," Gray also shouted in his underwear
"question," Lucy asked, "what do we do about those two" the group turned their attention to Sherry and Ren, who were staring at each other blushing nonstop
"so, you're going to go with your friends," Sherry asked
"yeah," Ren said," and I'm not going to miss you."
"Sherry"
"Ren"
Lucy giggled as she started to leave; however, she stopped when Gemini Aries and Scorpio appeared in front of her, smiling keys in hand "oh hey," she wondered what had happened to Gemini ever since they had come and helped her destroy the Lacrima.
"Angel has been locked up," Gemini said, landing in front of Lucy, "so are contracted are null and void" the spirits then danced as Scorpio appeared behind them.
"now that we're free," Scorpio said, "we would like to make contact with you, Lucy's Heartfilia," he asked, "wicked."
"will you please be our wizard," Aries asked?
"Are you guys sure about this," Lucy asked, her mind flashing to Angel, saying that they were alike in many ways and how they both craved more spirits. Shaking the thought out of her head, she looked to four equally confused hearts.
"you guys," Aries asked.
"we're used to being called pets after working with Angel for so long," Scorpio told her.
"I know," Lucy said, "and I don't treat my spirits like that," Lucy said, "at least I don't want to," she said "you guys are my equals," Lucy told them, "you're no more important to me than my friends."
"Pedy Pedy," the Gemini twins called out.
"we'd love to work with Lucy."
"Wicked"
"Awesome," Lucy said. "I hope we're together for a long time," Lucy said, "Scorpio, Gemini, and Aries."
the start of a new adventure
Natsu ran about the deck as the group sailed over the water to head home, "so this what it feels like to ride the high seas without puking your guts out," Natsu asked; he could see Magnolia in the distance "man, this feels amazing."
"aye mate," Happy called out, "Welcome to the good life."
"be careful," Wendy called out.
"oh, let Natsu have his fun," Erza told her. "I don't. I've ever seen him this excited to get on a boat."
"or any mode of transportation for that matter," Gray added
"though," Wendy said, "I'm surprised the spell lasted this long" Wendy said 'I did give him an extended spell, though," Wendy muttered as she looked to Natsu, who had a blank stare on his face "Natsu," Wendy asked before the dragon slayer fell over giving in to his motion sickness "oh no" Wendy moved only to be stopped by Erza
"he'll be fine," she said, "besides, we're almost to port," Erza told them. As they pulled up, they were greeted by surprised faces as Natsu was thrown off the boat shaking his head as he stood up
"hey look, fairy tail is back" someone called out
as the others got off the ship, Natsu swallowed a lump in his throat "listen, he told them, "we keep you and me getting poisoned to ourselves" he told Erza, " Mira will have my head if she finds out," laughing the group nodded as Wendy and Carla looked in confusion
"don't worry," Lucy explained to them. "Mira can just be a little overprotective," she told them, which confused the girls as they started walking through the town
"hey, fairy tail," people would call out Natsu felt Wendy stand behind him; her shyness starting to from being around so many people. Erza looked back and smiled as she greeted some people passing by who also complimented their clothes. Soon they found themselves in front of the fairy pub as Wendy starred in amazement
"What is this place," Carla asked,
"it's the fairy pub," Lucy told her, " where we go to get work or just hang out."
"Are you sure this is suitable for a child," Carla asked.
"I don't know," Lucy said," but Natsu and Mira have raised her, and they turned out alright," Lucy said as Carla sighed as they entered and were greeted with a relieved face.
"hug attack," Levy called out as she jumped onto Lucy. "I'm glad you're okay," Levy said "we've been looking all over for you; where were you guys," the script mage asked.
"Long story," Lucy said.
"Natsu!" Lucy backed up as Mira approached him through the crowd of onlookers who started to feel a swell of pity for him as Mira starred him in the eyes "what happened? Why are you covered in bandages " she stopped when she saw Wendy hiding near behind him and Carla next to her looking at her a bit skeptically calming down a bit "who's the girl" she asked as everyone looked at Wendy which didn't help the girl's shyness as her cheeks turned red as people noticed she had a 'female Happy.'
"oh," Erza said, cutting, giving Natsu a chance to compose himself "long story short," she said, grinning, "this is Wendy and Carla," she said, "they lost everything and needed a place to call home."
"so, you brought them here," Mira said," of course," looking back to Natsu, she hugged him. "I'm just glad you're okay," she said, smiling, looking at Wendy and Carla "nice to meet you. I'm Mira."
"wow," Wendy said, "it's a pleasure to meet you," she said, bowing.
"if you don't mind me asking," Mira said, " what kind of magic do you use," Mira asked, "and I can assume your friend uses the same magic as Happy."
"don't compare me to that furry horn dog," Carla shouted.
"don't mind her," Wendy said. "I use sky magic," Wendy told them as people compared Natsu's fire magic.
"I see" she looked at Natsu, who nodded, "well, welcome," Mira told her with her biggest smile.
"Oh, Gray darling," Juvia shouted as she ran to Gray, "your back; I'm so glad you made it home," she cried, "my tears are flowing like waterfalls."
"Gray, tell your girlfriend to stop crying, man."
"she's not my girlfriend."
"while not as high strung," a voice called out, "I'm glad you kids made it back safely" the group turned to see Mavis appearing from the archives, "mind telling me what you were up to these past three days."
Later the crowd had dispersed. Lucy decided to explain the system to Wendy and took her away from Natsu and Erza to talk with Mavis, who told her about the oracion seis, Nirvana, the coalition, and Cait shelter.
"I see," Mavis said, stroking her chin. "I didn't expect the guilds to react so quickly," Mavis's mind was wondered, "but I don't think things will quiet down with oracion seis' defeat" looking over, she could tell Mira was fuming as Natsu talked about Cobra.
"then the snake grew wings and started flying," he told Elfman, who laughed.
"now I know you're pulling my leg," he told Natsu "everyone knows snakes aren't manly enough to fly."
laughing at her two brothers' interactions, Mira sighed. "I just don't like how the allied forces kidnapped them," Mira said, " it was wrong."
"nothing more we can do, my dear," Mavis told her " it might work well for us, though, as more jobs will go through the town," Mavis said
"I know, master," Mira said as Natsu turned to her.
"don't worry about it, sis," Natsu assured her, " I'm sure it will all work out."
"I guess so," Mira said
above them, Gajeel stared at Wendy. He knew from the start she was a dragon slayer; he could tell based on her what she called her magic, sky maiden magic. He only heard of it once, and that was from Metalicanna, but that wasn't what had him made no it was much worse
he looked at Carla, who followed Wendy around, then at Happy, who was sitting on the bar with Natsu before sighing, "it's. not fair," he muttered, "I'm a dragon slayer too, ya know" he screamed mentally "when do I get my flying kitty cat huh"
on the other side, Mystogen smiled as he saw Wendy walking away. He then vanished from sight, glad that he could finally see the little girl again. As Wendy looked to where he was, she could have sworn she smelt that scent before she shook her head Jellal was gone, and she might never see him again
later. Wendy, Carla, and Mira stood at the request board, "and this is where you can take jobs," Mira told her "now, as a solo wizard, you will need to keep track of the jobs you take and keep a lookout for guilds," Mira explained to the pair
"okay," Wendy answered, "but how will I know what jobs to take," she asked "just look for the label," Mira said "it often says how dangerous a job can be" the ringing of the bell caused Mira to look up, I guess it's closing time," Mira said, "we can try for your first Job tomorrow."
"Yes, ma'am," Wendy said, excited as Carla scoffed; she was still having trouble adjusting as Natsu and Elfman started to usher people out the door "be on your guard here, child," Carla told her.
"it'll be fine, Carla," Wendy said
"I guess," Carla muttered as the duo waited for Natsu and Mira. Soon after they arrived, it was decided that they could stay with Mavis as she had some space available, so Wendy wasn't entirely by herself; she was, however, welcome to go to Erza, Lucy, and Gray's apartment if they wanted
once she arrived, Wendy was sent to her new room, which had a bed with fresh sheets on it along with a desk and drawers for her clothes; she laughed as she heard Natsu and Mira talking downstairs; according to g to Elfman, they were arguing over Natsu recklessness when fighting Cobra hearing he was poisoned scarred the barmaid half to death, but he told her not to mind as they won't get too loud and to go unpack
"it seems cozy," Wendy said
"Also, it seems like it's been untouched for years," Carla muttered.
"that is true," Mavis said, "we haven't needed this room in a while," she said, "may I come in."
"yes," Wendy said
"I wanted to talk," Mavis told her, "make sure you're holding up okay."
"it's hard," Wendy admitted, "everything we knew was a lie," looking down at Carla, who smiled at her "our home, our friends, all of it, " Wendy said as tears started to form. She wiped them away as Mavis approached her and hugged her.
[## fairy glitter theme##]
"that's not true," Mavis told her. "Roubaul's was real," Mavis told her, "and the illusion he made was real to you as well, wasn't it," Mavis asked the girl, who wiped her tears and nodded "they will always have a special place in your heart."
"true," Carla said, "but it doesn't take away the pain of being lied to," she told her.
"I know," Mavis said, "but sometimes, to protect those we love, we have to lie," Mavis told her "when you care for that person enough, you will make sure that there happy no matter what," Mavis said
"I guess," Wendy said
"what I'm trying to say is," Mavis said, " always look into your heart; they'll always be there when you need them," Mavis told her as she left the room, "and if you ever want to talk, I'm here, it's the start of a new beginning so embrace it with open arms."
"Thanks, Mavis," Wendy said as the girl left her, leaving Wendy to her thoughts again. after unpacking, Wendy lay down. She wasn't mad. Why did they have to go, and why was she left behind. Seeing Carla lying next to her, she smiled.
"Something wrong, child," Carla asked.
"No," Wendy said, sitting up. "I'm just nervous," Wendy said, sitting up "this is a lot to take in," a knock on the door as Natsu walked in.
"Sorry about that," Natsu said. "Mira means well; she can just be overprotective."
"it's fine," Wendy said
"just so you know, I'm on the other side of the wall, so if you need anything, don't be afraid to knock, and if you want to talk to Mira, she the door across from mine," he told her.
"and Mavis" Wendy asked.
"Normally, she is outside staring at the stargazing," Natsu told her, "but if she's not there, she'll be in the room at the end of the hall."
"Thanks, Natsu," Wendy told him.
"no problem," Natsu said as he started to walk out "we'll get you some light in here tomorrow too," he said as Wendy nodded and closed the door.
[##fairy tail main theme slow ver.##]
As Wendy got ready to go to sleep after a long first day finally, Roubaul's last words to her rang in her mind for a brief second "you have real friends now; you don't need us anymore" those words stung, and yet she felt like she was finally part of something Erza's words then came into her mind as well "be a part of our family, be part of the fairy tail" maybe this was where she was meant to be as she finally fell asleep a final thought came into her mind.
"it's the first day of your new life."
smiling, Wendy knew what to do. She was no longer Wendy of Cait shelter; it hurt her, but she knew it was the start of her new life, and she would embrace it
she was now Wendy Marvell of the fairy tail family.
And that's it
So, what do you think? Sorry if the chapter felt slow; it's just that I was trying to incorrupt the sense from the episode and make sure it would make sense in the universe why stuff would happen. But with that out, I hope that you all enjoyed it. Please leave a like and tell me your thoughts in the comments.
