**Authors Note: To sum this up this is a rewrite of Welcome Home Frosh (Continued). I never finished the story due to personal reasons and now, 3 years later, I'm starting over with the goal of improving and finally finishing this story. I wish to say that I encourage all of you to to work hard and find things to make you happy in life.

Chapter 1

It had been a beautiful, warm day not long after the Grand Magic Game filled with the Fairy Tail Guild's usual antics of brawls and laughter. Everyone was enjoying themselves after raising the guild's ranking throughout Fiore, therefore raising the job requests they received. Levy observed the guild, taking a break from her novel and checking the time.

"Levy! I have the next chapter ready for you!" Lucy appeared beside the table cheerfully, a closed envelope in hand. "I wanted to get it to you before Natsu and I headed to Hargeon. You were easy to find this time. Jet and Droy being a bit much again?" She asked, noticing Levy sitting closer to the entrance of the guild instead of the table that Team Shadow Gear usually occupied together.

"Oh wow, thank you, Lucy." Levy laughed as she took the envelope and placed it in her bag. "And no, they left on an escort mission for a minister yesterday. I'm actually waiting on someone."

"Ahh~ Would it be a Mr. Mysterious?" Lucy smirked, teasing her friend. Lucy knew that Levy wasn't interested in a serious relationship at this moment. They all had just began adjusting completely to returning home after the 7 year Tenrou Island stretch and competing in the Grand Magic Games. Levy was focused on becoming a stronger mage.

They talked for a short time about Lucy and Natsu's mission, and Levy promised to read Lucy's chapter as soon as possible before they walked outside of the guild together where a certain pink haired mage was waiting on his partner. Levy waved to her friends and wished them well before she looked to the darkening sky.

…...

Rogue Cheney of the Sabertooth Guild, on the other hand, had not been having an as peaceful day. In fact, he probably had one of the most stressed filled days of his life due to his best friend and exceed, Frosh. After disappearing beside their friends in town earlier, the group had spent most of the day searching for him. Finally, once they found him,Sting Lector, and Yukino had gotten Rogue to reluctantly agree into letting Frosh find his own way back home.

It was now just past dark and Rogue could feel his eye twitch as he looked up to see the Fairy Tail Guild Flag and watching his friend going towards the wrong guild. They stopped short as they watched Frosh look around the road.

"Its getting late,we should probably get Frosh and take him home now." Sting suggested, tired and disappointed that the exceed hadn't found his own way. Rogue gave him a slight nod and took a step before watching the green cat bounce over to a short figure with light blue hair.

At first glance, he didn't recognize her, but after taking in the short waves of her hair pushed back by a headband, the bright yellow dress, big brown eyes, Rogue was sure he had seen her before. He started to approach as she bent down and started to hand Frosh a small box out of her bag.

"...hope they fit. I used the sizes I have for Pantherlily, but I'd be happy to adjust them." Rogue heard as he walked up to the two. He took in her voice, remembering it from the Grand Magic Games. It had been one that overpowered others within the crowd. She cheered her friends on with such passion and pride, her voice had reached his ears so clearly he had taken a moment to respect her there.

After realizing she was the one from the Games, his thoughts flashed to the Ball that was held after. He had approached her at one point during the night. Though he wasn't one to use many words, he had wanted to meet her and congratulate her on their guild's win.

"Good evening, Miss McGarden," he started, "Thank you for finding Frosh." He bent down to pick up the exceed as she stood.

"Hello Rogue, please call me Levy." She insisted quickly, a slight blushed creeping on her face. "Found? I wasn't aware he had been missing. We had planned to meet tonight so I could give him his outfit though." Levy stated, confused as she looked at the exceed in Rogue's arms.

"Outfit?" Rogue questioned.

"Yes, the night of the Ball, Frosh asked Pantherlily about his pants. He told Frosh that I made them and Frosh had asked me if I would make him and Lector something." Levy smiled. "Of course, I was happy to, I just didn't want to come to Sabertooth and cause a problem so I invited Frosh to get it here. I thought he would've told you, Sorry for the trouble." Levy scratched the back of her head nervously.

"No, it's no trouble. Thank you for your effort. Also, there wouldn't be any issues at the guild either. Things are different now and everyone has been able to be themselves for the first time in a while." Rogue spoke as he looked down at the small woman before him. "If there's anything you ever need, you can ask us at Sabertooth."

Levy smiled at the Shadow Dragon Slayer and thanked him before they said goodbye and parted ways.

…...

The next morning, Levy woke around 8:30 and began her usual morning routine. After a hot shower, brushing her teeth and hair, and dressing in a yellow tank top, red shorts, and her favorite red sandals, she made her way to the guildhall. She smiled as she walked through the large doors and over to the bar where she saw Mira.

"Good morning, Levy. Having breakfast?" The takeover mage greeted.

"Morning, Mira. Kiwi smoothie if you don't mind." She replied as Mira prepared the ingredients and made small talk. After a couple of minutes, Mira placed the finished product in front of the script mage.

"So, we had a special job request come in. They're asking specifically for a script mage to come out and translate a few writings." Mira spoke, her voice becoming more calm than cheery.

"That doesn't sound so bad, but I need more information." Levy said in between sips. Usually her translation jobs were paid decently, and before she left for the S-Class Exams, Levy had built a little bit of a reputation thanks to her skills and her love for knowledge.

"The writings aren't all the same. The client is the mayor of a small town near Shirotsume and he said that some are traps, some barriers, and some are curses. The odd thing, there's only 9 of them and they're written on the walls in graffiti but they can't tell the language." Mira spoke, making sure Levy paid full attention before she continued. "They also recommend that you bring extra strength. They believe these writings are the starting of a secret dark guild and would like for you to have help available to you quickly that far away." Levy nodded as she thought over the job before she smiled and finished the last of her smoothie.

"Send word that I'll do it. I'll have to find someone to go with me, Jet and Droy won't be back for a few days. Lucy left with Natsu last night, and Gajeel promised to help Wendy this week." Levy thought out loud, "But even so, I'm sure I can find someone. I need to do some shopping before I leave. How soon will I need to leave?"

"I'm sure if I use the lacrima to call, the mayor will want you to probably leave tomorrow. He seemed really concerned for his town." Mira received a final nod from Levy as she paid for her smoothie.

"Then that settles it. I'll do my shopping and try to find someone to go along before I pack tonight. Thanks Mira. See you later!" Levy grinned as she thought of the mission before her and headed out of the guild into town. This was a chance for her to test her strength and studies as a mage since she had returned from Tenrou Island and she was determined not to fail, with help or not.
