Neko: I am so tired and hungry… but I don't want to stop writing yet. I really liked that last chapter… how bout you?

Lucy: I loved it! XD

Ch16: Tadaima!

Lucy POV:

I woke up to a a sky full of stars.

"You're up Hime?"

"Where am I Virgo?"

"In the Celestial Spirit World, Hime."

"How long have I been out?"

"A couple of minutes…"

"What happened to Tenrou Island!?"

"Tenrou Island was saved, but it disappeared."

"Then… how did I get here? I'm sure I was in the sphere too…"

"After you and the 1st got Fairy Sphere, Horologium came to get you in time before the island disappeared."

"Oh… where's Nashi and Ignee?"

"Playing with the spirits."

"Yosh! Then I'll get back to training right away! I'll train with the spirits first then."

I got up and went to train with my spirits. I left Nashi in the hands of the Spirit King.

Timeskip (27 Days Later)

I finished training with all my spirits. I could now summon my spirits just by calling out their name. The Spirit King even gave me his key. I left my appearance the same as when I was on Tenrou Island. Black hair and blue eyes. I made my hair grow faster so it's up to my knees now. I left my scent as strawberries and vanilla still because no one would be able to smell my scent under the limiters anyways. Nashi is almost 6 months, but she can crawl now. I hope Natsu and them are okay…

"Hime."

"Yes, Virgo?"

"I forgot to tell you that 1 day in the spirit world is 3 months in the real world."

"Nani!? Why didn't you tell me this before!? That means 7 years passed in the human world already!"

"I'm sorry. Punishment?"

"No! Just go get me Nashi and Ignee… we're going back to the human world…"

"Hai…" She came back with Nashi in her arms while Ignee ran to me.

"Are we going back now, Mama?" Ignee asked. Ignee has been calling me Mama ever since I got to the celestial spirit world. I don't really mind because he is like my son.

"Yep!" Virgo gave me Nashi and said, "Just call me if you need anything."

Then I made a portal to the Dragon Realm. I flew to the castle.

"Tadaima!"

"Lucy? Where were you? Did you really take 7 years to train?" Yuuki asked.

"Well… a lot happened… I'll tell you when I come back… For now, watch Nashi and Ignee." I gave her Nashi and flew back to the portal that will take me to Genji Island. When I got to Genji Island I flew to the place where Tenrou Island used to be.

"I've been waiting… Lucy Heartfilia."

"Mavis… I'm sorry it took so long…"

"No… it's okay… I just finished dispelling it. Now, I just need you to make the island appear again."

"How?"

"Just call it back. Spread your arms out and wish them back."

"Why didn't you just do it?"

"My bonds with them aren't strong. Only the person who casted Fairy Sphere and has a strong bond with them can dispel the spell completely and bring the island back."

I did what she told me to do and soon, the island was brought back. I went on the island and found everyone scattered all over the island. I put them into one pile and made a portal to the guild. I threw everyone in one by one. After, Mavis and I followed.

We couldn't believe our eyes. The guild turned smaller and was a lot uglier. The doors were open and I saw a couple of men at the door. There was a man that was about to beat a boy up. I looked closer and noticed that the little boy was Romeo. I kicked the man that was about to hit Romeo and he ended up flying through the roof. The other men tried to hit me, but I also sent them flying through the roof.

"Ah… Thank you… but you're gonna have to pay for that…" Macao said.

I moved aside so they could see the Tenrou members. "Is this enough?"

All the members were shocked. Many started tearing up and many jumped on the Tenrou people trying to wake them up. Then, they began to gain consciousness. Now, the whole guild started crying.

"Morning already?" Happy asked.

"Huh? Where am I?" Natsu asked.

"At the guild Natsu!" Macao screamed.

"I thought we were on Tenrou Island?"

"I don't really know what happened… but you guys are back and that's all we care about!" Macao answered.

Soon, they all awoke. Mavis cleared her throat and explained, "My name is Mavis. Fairy Tail's first master, Mavis Vermillion."

Everyone shouted, "HAH?!" except for me and Mavis.

"At that time Acnologia was about to attack, we-" I shook my head and pointed to her only. "I took the bond between you and the faith you have in one another, and converted it all to magic power. Your feelings activated Fairy Sphere, one of the Three Great Fairy Magics. It's absolute defense magic that protects the guild against all evil. However, everyone was sealed away in a frozen state, and it took 7 years to be dispelled.

"Of all things… the founder protected us…" Master said.

Mavis shook her head, "No… I'm just an astral body. It was all I could do to transform everyone's power into magic. Unwavering faith and a strong bond between you will even win a miracle over to your side. Fairy Tail has become a fine guild, hasn't it, 3rd master?" and then she disappeared.

I saw Romeo who was still shocked from their return in the back. I went over to him and gave him a little push, "Go on, I'm sure Natsu missed you too."

He went to Natsu and Natsu said, "You've gotten big, huh, Romeo." Then Romeo started to cry and say, "Welcome back, Natsu-nii… minna…"

Natsu smiled back and said, "Tadaima."

I mumbled, "Tadaima…" too.

Then Natsu said, "I've been meaning to ask, but why is this guild so small and why are there holes on the roof?"

The people who knew who it was looked to me. "Ahahaha… Don't worry… I'll help you fix it."

Natsu pointed to me and shouted, "Ah! It's you! Are you joining the guild?"

"Um… sure?"

"I'll get the stamp!" Mira exclaimed.

She got the stamp and came over to me, "What color and where would you like your mark at?"

"Blue… because it matches my outfit today, and on my right shoulder."

"Hai!" She stamped my arm and I was part of Fairy Tail again.

Neko: Tired and Hungry… haha well… please review!
