I don't own any of the characters except for oc.

~Anastasia's POV~

"Hey, can you hear me, Gajeel?" Natsu asked him.

"I can't hear nothin'..." Gajeel responded from a little distance.

"So hey, where'd did you learn Dragon Slayer magic?" Natsu asked him.

"I told you, I can't hear you...!" Gajeel responded while panting.

"This is the second time I've met anyone who can use the same magic as me!" Natsu said, "Because Stacey has the same magic like us, you can at least tell us that much!"

"Shut up..." Gajeel said as he looked away from Natsu.

I snorted at this interaction, as Natsu gets annoyed.

"Metalicana." Gajeel replied.

"Huh?"

"The Iron Dragon, Metalicana." Gajeel said as he stood up a bit.

"What?! So you were taught by a dragon?!" Natsu stood up then he fall over the edge and I just sweat-dropped, as I jumped down as well.

"You two as well?" Gajeel questioned.

"Yeah, I was trained by my mother who was a dragon well, the queen of the dragon realm..."

"Dragon realm?" Gajeel asked confused, "There is a realm for dragons?"

I nodded, "Yeah, I did ask my mom, if she knew Igneel... Her response was 'Oh, him. Yeah, I know him, the pain in my ass...' I just laughed."

Natsu pouted at me, "Yeah, your mom was so mean about him. But, where is he now?!"

"Dunno." Gajeel responded, looking away.

Natsu sighed, then yelled, "Where is he now?!"

Gajeel had an angry look, and yelled, "I told you, I don't know!"

As the two butt head at each other.

"Oww...!"

"Man... I feel like my brain's gonna turn to ash, talkin' to you..." Gajeel said.

"Say that again?!"

"He vanished." Gajeel said with his back turn on us, "Metalicana just suddenly left one day, without so much as a word. Man. Talk about a selfish bastard..."

"H-Hold on! That wasn't seven years ago on July 7th, was it?!" Natsu asked as he realize something off about how Gajeel explain his point of view.

"What?! You know where Metalicana is?!" Gajeel asked in shock.

"Don't be stupid! I'm trying to find Igneel, a fire dragon!" Natsu said, "Igneel disappeared on July 7th seven years ago too."

"Two dragons disappeared seven years ago...On July 7th, 777...?" I said with tilting my head.

"What's with all the sevens?!" Natsu said angrily while slamming his head on Gajeel.

"How should I know?!"

"Oww..."

"Stop doing that!?"

"It doesn't matter to me, anyway." Gajeel said as he stood up.

"If you're gonna leave, just do it already!" Natsu said to him.

"This is our guild! You two the one who has to leave!" Gajeel shouted at us.

"Man, why so picky?" Natsu said as he stood up as well.

"Get lost!" Gajeel ordered us to go away.

"Lemme know if you ever find out anything about Igneel." Natsu said, while grabbing my hand to walk away.

"Why should I be nice to you?!" Gajeel said.

"We're both Dragon Slayers, after all." Natsu said looking at him, I just my eyes closed with a smile on my face.

"Screw you! Next time I see you, I'll destroy you! I swear it! Just you wait and see!" Gajeel declared.

"Man, you're vicious. I was thinkin' of making up
with you now that we're even, too..." Natus said.

"Who're you calling vicious?! You're the one who did this to our guild!" Gajeel said angrily.

"You guys wrecked our guild too, you know!" I chimed in.

"Argh! Forget it! I'm not making up with you two after all!" Natsu said, as I stick my tongue at Gajeel.

Gramps sighed and looked at the Guild, "They really went to town on it this time..."

"U-Umm, Master..." Lucy said as she walked up, Gramps turned to look at her.

"You've certainly been through a lot yourself..." Gramps said to us.

"Don't look so glum, Lu-chan!" Levy said to her, as she and others were ok, "We're back!"

"Levy-chan!" Lucy said as she was shock to see them alright.

"We all worked together for this great victory!" Levy said.

"Even if the guild did get ruined!" Droy said, looking at the destroyed guild.

"But it's not like we can't rebuild it!" Jet chimes in.

"Oui..." Reedus said.

"Everyone..." Lucy said.

"Sorry for worrying you, Lu-chan." Levy said.

"N-No! It was all my...!" Lucy said with sorrow.

"I heard everything. But no one blames you for this, Lu-chan." Levy reinsure her that it wasn't her fault.

"In fact, I should apologize for being useless..."

"Lucy." Gramps called out to her, "Although it doesn't hold true for every bit of happiness or sadness, we still share things to some extent. That's what it means to be a guild. One person's happiness is everyone's happiness... One person's anger is everyone's anger... And one person's tears are everyone's tears. There is no need to feel guilt-ridden. Lucy. Our hearts have surely reached you." Lucy started to cry, "Lift your head high! You are a member of Fairy Tail!"

Lucy was crying and cry her heart out, As we all look at with smiles.

Then Gramps started to cry as well, but for other reason. I sweat-dropped knowing why he was crying.

"Master!" Erza said with shock and concern look.

The guild was being rebuilt.

"It been one week since our battle with Phantom ended. We've finally gotten back our peaceful days..."

"Let's take a break, everyone!" Mira said with drinks on a tray in her hand.

~Flashback~

"Things actually got really bad right afterward, though." As the council's army arrived.

"We found ourselves surrounded by the Rune Knights, the council's army."

"This ain't good...!"

"They found out already?!"

"Run!" Natsu said running away.

"Aye, Sir!" Happy chimed in.

I grabbed his scarf and Happy's tail before they can run away, "Quit it, Natsu. You know there's
no escape from the Rune Knights."

Gramps was crying.

"Master! Pull yourself together!" Erza said worried for him.

"Oh, my..."

"Then we were taken to a military post for questioning. We endured a week of interrogation, and now things have finally calmed down. It sounds like the council is going to hand down Fairy Tail's punishment at a later date."

~Flashback end~

Natsu was holding a pile of lumber, then lumber fell on top of him.

"I told you to be careful." I scolded him.

"That's what you get for tryin' to carry so much, moron." Gray said to him with holding on of the lumber.

"What'd you call me?!" Natsu said angrily.

"You wanna fight?!"

"Quit carrying 'em like a wimp!"

"That's enough!" Erza yelled at him with lumber at their heads, "Work your bodies, not your mouths!We need to rebuild Fairy Tail as quickly as possible!"

"Aye..."

"Erza's really rarin' to go..." Droy said.

"She can requip into those clothes too?" Jet said.

Gramps was in his giant form and placing the pieces together.

"Master is getting into the spirit too!" Levy said.

"More like into it big-time!"

"Boss! Where should I put this lumber?" Erza asked him.

"Oh! Right over there!" Gramps replied.

"Boss"...?!"

"Damn! I can't stand being beaten!" Gray and Natus said in unison.

"Yay! It's whack-a-mole!" Happy said cheerfully. I snorted at his comment.

"Yeah, it is whack-a-mole, Happy." I said continuing chuckling.

"But, y'know..." Macao said.

"Isn't it a little too big?" Wabaka said.

"We decided to remodel it while we're at it! This is a concept sketch of the finished version!" Mira said with a drawing in her hands.

"Really?"

"Let's see that."

"But it was just fine how it was..." Natsu said while looking at paper.

"What's it gonna be like?" Gray questioned.

Mira's drawing was interesting...

"Wow..."

"That's... something else..."

"I-I don't really understand it..." Natsu said as he was confused by looking at the drawing.

"It's interesting, Mira-chan..." I said as I lied to my teeth.

"Man, this sketch sucks. What idiot drew this junk?" Gray said. Then Mira had a smile on her face then she started to cry.

Gray panicked, "O-Oh, it was you, Mira?!"

"You made her cry again." All of us said to him.

"That's Gray for you." Happy said.

"I'm starving!" Natsu said, as he was stretching his arms out.

"Aye!"

"Oh, I will be back can you wait for a second?" I said as I run off to get our bento lunches then when I came back Natsu was soaked.

"Why are you wet?" I asked Natsu. Natsu looked over to me then to Gray and noticed the boxed lunches.

"It's a lunch box!" Happy said, pointing at the box.

Natsu looked at my lunch box, and had a happy expression on his face, "It's that for me?!"

I nodded.

"A lunch box?" Gray said as he opened the box and it was a character bento.

"Ooh! Looks tasty!" Natsu said while eating his bento that I made for.

"I recognize this! This is called a "character lunch"!" Happy said.

"This is insane! I can't eat this!" Gray said, "it has my face in it!"

"Who said it was time to eat?!" Erza said coming over to us, then noticed the bento in Gray's hands, "Oh, is that one of those character lunches?" As she stab her fork into the bento, "Hey, this is pretty good! I'll have some more!"

"Seriously?! I'll have some too!"

"Natsu, Gray, Stacey, Erza... Could you give these to Lucy for me? They're her keys." Loke said to us.

"I was wondering where you hadn't been around lately!" Gray said.

"You were looking for these the whole time?" Natsu said.

"Are you okay? You look really pale..." I asked him with concern.

"Thanks. I'm fine." Loke said, "Whew. Being a gentleman is tough."

"Lucy doesn't seem to be here. Maybe she still hurts too much to be up and about." Happy chimed in.

"We can go pay her a visit then. You should come too, Loke." Natsu said to him.

"I'll pass. You know I'm no good around celestial wizards." Loke said, then he walked away.

"Really? Even though this is Lucy we're talking about?"

"Natsu. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Don't pry too much." Erza said to Natsu.

"Lu-chan, are you home?" I said as Natsu, Happy and I appeared by the window.

"How ya doin'?!" Natsu smiled.

"Don't go in through the window!" Gray said as he crawl out of the chimney.

"There's a door for a reason, you know!" Erza said with a cup of tea in her hand.

"And what the helll are you doing?" The boys asked her in questioned.

"Aye."

"Huh? She is not here?" I said tilting my head with crossed arms.

"She'd usually be all..."

"My place!" Happy said in a her voice tone.

"...is what would happen, but..." Erza chimes in.

"The bath, huh? Gray, you pervert!" Gray said, "is the cliché waiting for me, so..." as he open the curtain that the bathroom was, "I'm sorry, but...!"

"She's not here." Natsu said as he was in the tub.

"That was fast! And don't get in it!"

"It looks like she left." Erza said while wearing towels.

"And what are you here for?!"

"That griping was lackluster..."

"Not having Lucy around throws everything off." Happy said.

"What kind of criticism is that? And excuse me for being lackluster." Gray said.

"Lucy!" Happy said as he opened her drawer.

"Where is she?" Natsu asked.

"What are you guys looking in there for?" Gray asked them then looked as well.

"I didn't know there was underwear like this!" Happy asked in shock.

"This... is underwear?!" Gray said.

"Huh? I don't see the issue with her underwear, I mean, at least she's not wearing and sexy underwear..." I said with monotone voice.

"Wh-When would you wear such a thing?" Erza said. Then everyone looked at me with shock expression, I looked over confused.

"What?" I replied.

"When you're eating?!" Natus asked.

"Nope, definitely not."

"We shouldn't be looking in here anyway! Hurry and shut it!" Gray ordered Happy to close drawer.

"Lucy, come out!" Happy called out.

"Why do you keep looking in weird places?!" I asked him. Happy knocked over a box and it had letters inside of it.

"What are these?" Erza asked.

"They're letters..."

"Mom. I finally managed to join Fairy Tail, the guild I really..." Natsu opened on and started to read it.

"Hey, now! Don't go reading her stuff!" I scolded him.

"Today I met someone named Erza. She's really cool and pretty. And Stacey is really pretty as well. Then Natsu and Gray..."

"Are all of these letters to her mom?" Gray said.

"It seems like it." I chimed in.

"Why haven't they been mailed?" Natsu questioned.

"She left a note." Erza told us. As we all look over to her, "She says she's going home..."

"Wh-Why?!"

We all looked to see that she was in front of grave stone.

"Lucy!"

"Lu-chan!?" I yelled out to her. As she looked around to see us.

"Why are you-?!" Lucy looked shocked to see us.

Happy jumped on her, as we all were talking to her. As she explained what happened and why she left. As we all started to leave.

"I'm really sorry I worried you." Lucy apologized to us.

"Don't sweat it. It was our fault for jumping to conclusions." Erza reassure her it was ok.

"Looks like there was nothing to worry about after all." I said.

"Happy cried the whole time!" Natsu said.

"Eh, you were in tears too, Natsu!" I teased him.

"Was not!"

"I-I'm really sorry..." Lucy apologized again.

"It's ok, Lu-chan." I said.

"Man, this sure is a spacious town." Gray said.

"It's very nice and peaceful." Erza added.

"Oh, no. This is just our garden. Everything from here to that mountain is our estate." Lucy said as she pointed at the mountain in front of us. We all were shock how rich she was, "Huh? What's wrong, guys?"

"All hail, Princess Lucy!" Gray said with a salute.

"Said it like it's nothing!" Natsu chimes in.

"Damn girl, you are so rich!" I said with shock look in my face.

"Nastu, Stacey, and Gray have been defeated! Captain Erza! Could you please make a statement?!" Happy said to her.

"The sky sure is blue..." Erza said as she was stun how rich Lucy was.

"Medic! Captain Erza has a screw loose!" Happy said.

Geez, it was interesting evening...
