Again time past and the two boy grew older, giving a good act to the public and guild. While in reality they secretly trained and hangout together. Their relationship grew into being protective over one another, but made sure to control themselves around others.

They got past the Phantom Guild, but Natsu was not happy about the water mage being in love with Gray. He still put up a good act around them though even if Juvia was too close. They even traveled into Edolas, fought, and met their counter parts. The trip back Lisanna came back with them because the Lisanna back in Edolas died a long time ago. Along the way Gray and Natsu met so many people being friends or rivals.

Gray:

Age-18

Past- Magic Trainer: Ur / secrets: ?

Natsu:

"Hey Erza?" Lucy looked at the red head.

"What Lucy?" The Titania replied.

Lucy turned her head to look at her two friends fighting again. "Do you feel that Gray and Natsu are surrounded in this mysterious aura? I mean like they look like their, um… acting."

"I agree with blondie." Gajeel butted into the conversation. "Something doesn't feel right with those two. When I first saw the two, I couldn't help feel like there was a cloak around them shielding."

Erza nodded to the two. "Your right about the feeling you get from them. When Natsu first joined the guild there wasn't a weird feel to him, but right after Gray joined the guild both of them keep their distance from us and each other." She stared at Gray and Natsu walking away from each other with light scratches. Natsu to a table and Gray to the bar. "We only learned a little about their past, but we don't know about the rest of it. They both still have secrets, while everyone in the guild is already told and shared."

"Have you ever asked them Erza?" Lucy asked with a worried look on her face.

The red head nodded. "I have asked them before, but Natsu and Gray tend to avoid the question. Others in the guild have asked them too having no luck getting answers."

"Those two are ridiculous in their own way, not further details needed." Gajeel sternly said then drinking his beer. "How about the old-man, did he ask them?"

"If you mean Master, then yes. He also didn't have any luck, but he does see them sneaking around sometimes." Ezra responded taking another sword to polish.

The doors of the Guild Hall opened slowly gaining the attention of the people present in the building. Master Makarov looked up from his drink to see two people standing at the entrance.

The one on the left had white hair and healthy, but pale skin looking at them with no emotion. The teen wore a white dress shirt with a black cross necklace, along with black pants and shoes. He had a small black book in one had pressed against his chest. His other hand was grabbing on to the other male he came in with.

The other teen, with black hair, was more expressive with his emotions, smiling at everyone inside. He wore the same thing as his partner, but with the opposite color with a navy blue cloak. He carried a satchel and two swords that were covered in wrappings.

The two walked casually to the ball where the Master was. Everyone was starting up their magic, just in case the two attacked.

"My children, please undo your magic. If they mean us harm they would have attacked already." Makarov said loudly in a calm voice.

Once the magic was gone Makarov ask them questions.

"What business do you have here you two and what are your names?"

The teen with black hair answered him. "I'm Ren and this is Zen my young twin brother. We're here to talk to Gray and Natsu, we also have something to give them."

The Ice and Fire mages perked up when they heard their name and looked at each other.

"Oh, how do you them Ren?" Makarov sipped his drink.

"Our Master knows them." Ren replied.

Thats when Natsu and Gray decided to step into the conversation.

"Who is your Master?" Natsu ask hopeful it was her.

Ren and Zen turn to look at the two. "I'm guessing your Natsu and Gray?" Zen asked in a quite voice.

Gray nodded. "Yes, we're them. Now answer us."

Zen opened the cover of his black book and took out a letter. He walked up to Natsu and gave it to him with a small smile.

"You remember Alice right?" Ren said as Zen returned to his side.

Natsu opened the letter and read it while Gray walked over to the twins to talk to them.

Dear Gray and Natsu,

I missed you two so much. It was pretty lonely as I traveled to build our puppet family, but I meet lots of amazing and fun people. I'm sure the both of you will get along just fine with everyone. The ones who sent you this letter is Ren and Zen, twins I found who were being very badly hurt by their village. Odd pair, but they really are something if you ask me. Our family is staying in a mansion we built during the summer in the forest of Magnolia, Fiore. When you want to see us ask the twins to take you. Btw they are first-mate puppets. Their puppet mark is on their wrist.

Take Care,

Alice Hikari Knight

Tears built up on the corner of Natsu's eyes and started crying. Now everyone was focused on the crying dragonslayer.

Gray rushed up to him to calm him down while taking the letter to read. As he read, Gray ran his hand through Natsu's hair and rubbed circles on his back.

The Guild was shocked about the two's actions, even Master Makarov.

Natsu wiped the last of his fallen tears and Gray asked the twins to show their marks.

Ren and Zen proudly showed their marks to him and Natsu. The mark was a rabbit head with a top hat and number 1 on the middle of the bow tied to the hat.

"If you are Natsu and Gray, you two would have the mark too, right?" Ren asked.

Natsu turned around, his back facing the twins. Gray did the same pulling some of his short hair up to show the rabbit mark with a 0 in the middle of the bow. The mark rested behind his neck. Natsu was the same pulling down his scarf, rabbit mark behind the neck with 0 on the middle of the bow.

The twins smiled at each other happily finding the two missing puppets of the family.

"Please take us to the Mansion, we have to see A-chan." Natsu said.

The forgotten people in the guild started speaking up.

"Wait! Gray, Natsu what's going on?" Wendy asked very confused of the situation.

"Yeah you guys, ever since the both of you joined this guild we could't help feel you've been keeping something from us. Tell us whats going on!" Elfman agreed.

Gray and Natsu looked at each other and nodded.

"We can't tell you guys, we're sorry." Natsu said.

"It's a secret thats not our place to tell people." Gray explained calmly.

Master Makarov got off the bar top and walked to the two passing the twins. He looked up at them. "If you can't tell us, then take us to a person who can."

That was the twins turn to come in.

"Alice thought this might happen so she's willing to have 3 people from the guild come so she can explain. The rest can watch and from a live video from a camera." Ren said with a another happy smile.

Zen opened his book once again mumbling a spell summoning a large screen onto of the guild doors. Again saying another spell a flying, small robot with a camera for an eye came out. The Screen on top of the door showed the robot's view.

"This should help you guys listen and watch." Zen closed his book with a sigh and grabbed onto his brother again.

Ren nodded at his brother's effort. "Now which 3 people will come with us?"

The 3 chosen to go were Master Makarov, Erza, and Lucy. The 3 followed the group of 4 out the door of the guild. They traveled at a very fast pace that it was hard for Makarov, Erza, and Lucy to follow. Gray and Natsu were keeping up just fine with the twins.

By the time they Got to the Mansion the 3 collapsed out of breath.

"You guys… are… argh, so freaking fast!" Makarov exclaimed out of breath.

Erza and Lucy had the same problem taking in gulps of air. Lucy took her handkerchief out and wiped her face and neck of the sweat.

"Ren-nii and Zen-nii are home!" Childish voices yelled.

Children appeared before them surrounding the twins with big smiles.

Gray and Natsu helped the 3 Fairy Tail members back on their feet. Ren introduced the kids to the other two puppets.

"Everyone, these two people," he gestured to Gray and Natsu, "Are Alice's Zero-mate puppets. Give them a nice welcome, also the other 3 people are from a guild in Magnolia called Fairy Tail."

The kids stared to surround the others asking them lost of questions and showing them tricks they could do to impress them.

"Well looks like everyone is having fun out here." A feminine voice said happily.

Everyone turned to look at the voice. Standing there was a teen, probably the age of 18 or 19. With long snow white hair that ended at her knees. Dressed in a white blouse with orange flower patterns, black jeans, and white converse shoes.

"A-chan/Alice?" Natsu and Gray asked.

She laughed and nodded opening her arms. "Don't I get a hug after so long?"

Gray and Natsu rushed over to her and gave her a tight hug. They ended up falling to their knees.

"I missed you guys so much. I'm so glad your back now and well." Alice smiled patting them on the back. She could feel both of them crying because their tears were soaking into her blouse.

Makarov decided to walk up to the three hugging. "Umm, Miss Alice?"

She look over to Master Makarov. "I'm guessing your the guild master of these two?"

Makarov nodded. "I'm Makarov Dreyar, Guild Master of Fairy Tail. The two girls behind me are members of my guild, Erza and Lucy."

"Erza Scarlet, nice to meet you."

"Lucy Heartfilia, hello." She bowed.

"Nice to meet you Makarov-san, Erza-san, Lucy-san. Let's talk inside about why your here." Alice said.

She got up after she removed herself from the reunion hug. Gray and Natsu followed right behind her. The children all ran to the mansion door and went inside. The twins followed after them and waited for the guest to go through the door before closing it.

The camera robot of course followed their pace into the large living room.

The twins left to go get some refreshments for everyone.

Alice sat in-between Gray and Natsu on one couch, while Lucy, Makarov, and Erza sat on the opposite couch facing them.

"So may I have an explanation on whats going on here?" Makarov asked Alice.

Alice nodded. "Have you ever hear of the Puppeteers?"

Makarov went wide eye at the mention of Puppeteers.
