CHAPTER 2

"THAT'S FAIRYTAIL!," Luffy and his family screamed in disbelief at the sight of Fairytail's guild. "Naruto are you sure that this is Fairytail?," Nathan questioned in doubt that this was the building. "What do you think mom…Mom?," Nathan said turning to stare at Nami, who wasn't only slack jawed, but whose jaw was literally on the ground.

"WOW!," Hanami gasped in fascination. "It looks like a castle." "It may not look like it Nathan," Naruto spoke up smiling. "But this is the place." "Things have surely changed since the last time we were here," Sakura stated staring at Naruto who agreed with her. "I wouldn't have recognized the guild, if it wasn't for the Fairytail's symbol. If I can recall correctly it was a different structure the last time we visited."

(Before I give the description of Fairytail guild, I'm using the one they rebuilt right after they fought Phantom Lord.) Fairytail's guild was built rather elegant and extravagantly. Anyone who didn't know what Fairytail was, and discovered it would mistake it for a castle of some sort. The top of the building had a tower like dome containing a large bell, which had a pointed roof made of tiles.

Two more towers are presented at both sides of the entrance, these having elongated glass windows running through them, and weather cocked shaped like Fairytail's symbol on their tile tops. The front part of the top floor houses a larger banner with the guild's insignia on it, while two smaller banners placed at its sides, some meters away from it, bear respectively, the Magic Council emblem and an unknown symbol.

The top floor was mostly bare, while the middle ones front walls are intricately decorate, and sport a pair of ornamental windows. The ground floor's roof bears a highly decorative balustrade on its top, and the floor itself possesses many small windows lined up its front walls together with wood reinforcements. While its edges bear large, rectangular wood beams. Surrounding the headquarters is a fence composed of stone overtopped by decorated railing with some pillars overtopped, by torches on its length.

An open gate, this possessing an upper part covered in tiles with railings below it bearing resemblance to an open portcullis. Plus there's a large sign bearing the guild's name with ornate decorations above it, including a pair of detailed statues of fairies, each wearing a dress, and possessing a pair of wings and elongated ears sitting on their heads. In front of the building, inside the fence is an "Open air café".

A little over two dozen tables each complete with a pair of benches at its sides, and with some of them bearing striped beach umbrellas. "Uh Dad are you sure they are expecting us?, 'cause it doesn't seem like anybody's here. Since we've been standing here for some time now, and we haven't seen or heard anyone." Shinachiku questioned as he raised an eyebrow at Naruto. 'Where was everybody?,' Naruto wondered to himself, as he walked into the grounds without a word, as the others silently followed him to the front door.

"Maybe something happened_," Sakura began to say, as Naruto opened the front door. "SURPRISE!," Fairytail boomed as soon as the door was opened leaving Naruto and company startled. "After all these years," Lucy whispered into Sakura's ears as she hugged her tightly. "It's good to see you, wow you're practically glowing!." Lucy's eyes widened in surprise, as she took in Sakura's radiant short thick hair and emerald eyes.

"Is that…" Sakura paused as her eyes widened, surprised at the sight of a pink haired girl standing at Lucy's side shyly. "Yep," Lucy smiled as she glanced at her daughter. "This is your Aunt Sakura I've been telling you so much about. Why don't you say hi." "Hi I'm Nashi Dragneel. I love the shade of pink that your hair is." "Why thank you, and you're as beautiful as your Mom"

'It's been fifteen long years since I've been back here.' Naruto thought to himself as he stared at the wooden mezzanines. 'Has it really been so long?, I've been so busy being Hokage that I just didn't have the time to come visit. The hidden leaf village will always be my home, but Fairytail will always have a special place in my heart.' "I never thought I'll see the great fox again," a familiar voice joked coming from behind Naruto.

"You can't get rid of me that easily." Naruto grinned recognizing the voice. Naruto turned to see the infamous Salamander grinning widely at him now. They stared at one another for a while without saying anything to each other. They didn't have to, because their radiant smiles and joyful stares was enough. Suddenly they fist pumped and bro hugged each other. "Oh I almost forgot!," Naruto said turning to Luffy who was speaking with Cana.

"On my way here, we met a guy named Monkey D. Luffy, along with his wife Nami and their kids Nathan and Lina." "Did you say Monkey D. Luffy?!," Natsu said in disbelief as he stared bug-eyed at Luffy.

"FIRE DRAGON ROAR!," Natsu suddenly screams while putting his hands before his mouth like a trumpeter, creating a large exploding fireball that headed directly for Luffy. The guild members who stood close to Luffy, jumped out the way. Luffy who spotted the attack, immediately extended his rubbery arms to a wooden beam at the end of the room, thus escaping Natsu's scorching flames. The flames thankfully went through the large window that Luffy was standing next to, as the flames disappeared into the sky.

"So the rumours are true," Natsu chuckled as he stared at Luffy now with a roughish grin on his face. "You're King of the Pirates." "Yep that's me," Luffy chuckled as if Natsu's attacks never happened. Luffy who was stooping on the wooden beam now, jumped down and approached Natsu. The entire guild went still. Some of the guild members began whispering to one another. "I don't believe if it's him!." One guild member whispered excitedly.

"Who would've thought the Legend himself would show up at our guild?" Another whispered. "HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU ASK QUESTIONS FIRST!, BEFORE YOU USE YOUR MAGIC!." Lucy yelled at Natsu now, while Natsu continued to chuckle. "Wait a minute," Luffy eyes widened in sudden realization. "You're the legendary Salamander!." "You're Natsu Dragneel!," Nathan and Lina exclaimed in awe as they circled him now. "We heard countless stories about you!," Lina stated excitedly. "Can you do that dragon roar again?," Nathan asked eager to see it again.

"DON'T YOU DARE!," Lucy warned Natsu who considered doing it again. "It seems we have another legend in our mist," came a certain baritone voice that spoke up from the second floor. There stood the master of the guild, who stood on the stairs railing looking down at his guild. "Who's that?," Luffy questioned Natsu. "That's our guild master Macarov Dreyar," Natsu replied as Macarov approached Luffy.

"Wow…" Luffy peered at Macarov now. "You're kinda small…" "I get that a lot," Macarov replied grinning not offended in the least. "Well it's great to meet you considering I've been searching for you some time now. I really need to talk to you." "That's fine my boy, but first things first, won't you sit and enjoy our little celebration. That is if you're not busy to go." "Yeah we can stay awhile," Luffy responded casually placing his hand behind his head. "Fairytail is beginning to grow on me."
