Sorry about missing last week guys. It was my birthday so I took the week off without warning. I'm twenty already. Fuck I'm old. I'm still going to do every Monday though!

Enjoy!

It had already been around twelve hours since Drake and the others had found Nashi, or Luna, in that town in Bosco. Now, rocketing back to Magnolia, the group prepared to go to bed and wake up the next morning to prepare a plan for the future. No one seemed very interested in sleeping, as only Steph seemed to be asleep on Damien's shoulder. Everyone else was just waiting around on the deck, the lights on the ceiling lightly illuminating the room as the night outside darkened by the second. It was creepily silent on the deck, but Drake could understand why. Nobody really had much to say, and even then they were too tense. After all, they were about to fly home with someone the rest of the guild had thought was dead and had to reintroduce as someone without the memories that made her the girl they longed to have back.

Looking over towards Luna, Drake found the girl watching the scenery pass out of a window off to the side by herself. He could see a distraught look on her face, not paying any mind to anything in the ship. Deciding to talk to her, Drake walked over and made his presence known with a small cough, which made the girl look at him in the window's reflection.

"Hey," she greeted as she turned to face him.

"You okay?" He asked. "Acting pretty distant over here." Luna nodded, as if that was enough to ease Drake's mind.

"I'm okay," she replied. "I've just been thinking."

"About home?" Drake asked, making her nod.

"I just can't help but wonder, you know?" She asked. "I wonder what's waiting for me is all. I really don't know if I even belong."

"You do," Drake said. "The only thing waiting for you is a family that's missed you terribly. It's going to be hard for everyone, what with you losing your memory. But trust me, everyone with be over the moon to see you again."

"Everyone's nice, then?" Luna asked as she turned back to look out the window. Drake nodded.

"Of course, it's family." He said. "Trust me."

"I do," Luna said. "I do. I just can't help but worry." Drake could understand. Hell, he didn't know what they were going to do either. It wasn't exactly something people went through every day.

"Like I said," Drake replied. "If there's one place you're safe, it's back at Fairy Tail. We'll do everything we can to make you comfortable and find a way to help you. It'll be okay."

"You really think so?" Luna asked. "I'll be okay?"

Drake didn't know. He really didn't know if there was anything they could do, but he had to believe they could. He had to believe that it was possible. He had to.

"Of course," he said. "The hard part is already over. Now all we have to do is get your memory back." Despite the self doubt in his mind, it was clear his words had soothed Luna's worries slightly.

"Thanks," she said. "I appreciate it."

"Don't mention it," he replied. "It'll all be okay."

"It was just as important for Drake to remember that as Luna. They both needed to hear it.


Simon had retreated to his room a while ago, having grown bored of sitting around on the deck and tired as it was now early in the morning. Despite this, he was still up. He had intended to go to bed once he came here, but now he had busied himself with looking at his notebook, full of his clues and sighting of The Olympians. With everything that had happened in the last twenty-four hours, Simon was even more concerned about what the shadowy group had been planning and what exactly they were up too. He didn't have much information to go off of, but he kept going back to look at the photo of Hades he'd found. He didn't know what he was doing, where he was or even who he was, but it was clear he was up to something. The portal behind him said as much.

Simon jumped as his door opened and he swiftly shoved the notebook away, making sure it was out of sight. He watched as Luna peeked into his room, making a face as she made eye contact with him.

"Ah!" She said. "S-Sorry, I thought this was the bathroom." Simon was unable to speak for a moment, his words caught in his throat. It was her voice, her apologetic eyes. Her face, everything. He still couldn't believe that she was alive, but it was clear as day she was. After all, she'd just barged into his room.

"Nah," He managed. "It's another door down the hall." Luna swallowed hard and nodded.

"Thank you," she said. "I didn't mean to intrude on you."

"It's fine." Luna started to close the door, but it was clear her eyes caught something. Simon didn't know what her problem was, but he tensed as she opened the door and walked inside, seemingly focused on something else. He watched her walk up to his bedside table, and pick up the broken framed picture there. Now Simon knew what she was looking at.

"This is..." Luna started, voice raspy with disbelief. Simon nodded weakly, looking down at his feet.

"Us," he said. "That was taken over a year ago, after we one the Grand Magic Games." Luna looked shocked as she slowly sat down on Simon's bed next to him, still staring at herself in the photo.

"Well..." She managed weakly as she slowly reached out and ran her fingers against the photo of herself. "I-I can see why you guys think I'm your old friend."

"We don't think it," Simon replied, staring at the side of her head. Ironic given the fight he'd been in only earlier that day. It really was her, huh. "We know it."

"Hm..." Luna replied, still absorbed in the picture. "I think I do too." She slowly lowered the photo slightly and looked over at Simon, eyes wide with concern. "I'm sorry, I haven't gotten the chance to speak to any of you except for Drake." she said. "Were we close as well?" Simon didn't know what to say. He and the others had tasked Drake with keeping her company because he was closest with her, and they didn't want to overwhelm her. But it seemed the girls curiosity had taken control of her.

"We were," Simon replied, looking down at his feet. "You were close with everyone on the ship right now. We were like siblings, Sure we fought now and then but we loved each other all the same." Luna was quiet, so Simon sighed. "I just wish things hadn't gotten so wrong."

"...Because of my accident?" Luna asked. Simon didn't say anything, and Luna made an upset sound. "I'm sorry for all the hardship I caused all of you. I wished I just remembered what happened."

"Don't you dare start blaming yourself too," Simon said, feeling the fuse on his temper shorten. He wasn't going to freak out though, not on her. "The last thing we all need is more self-deprecation." Luna nodded, seemingly happy at his response. After being quiet for a moment, she reached out and ran a finger down Simon's scar, making him flinch at her touch. Her hands were warm, just like they used to be. Not just alive warm, warm warm.

Like a flame.

"What happened to your face?" She asked, running her index finger down the scar. Simon forced her hand away, lightly placing it back in her lap.

"It's just a scar," he said. "It's nothing you need to worry about." Luna frowned at this.

"Seems you all have a lot of scars, huh." She said.

Simon didn't need to say anything for her to know that was an accurate statement.

"Did you really come this way looking for the damn bathroom?" He hissed. This caused her to smile sadly.

"Yeah," she said. "Did you want me to leave you alone?" Simon didn't say anything at first, so Luna sighed and stood. "I understand. I can't imagine what it's like you for guys. I'll go n-"

Simon stood and whipped the girl around, wrapping her into a hug. Despite how he'd been acting, he was over the moon to find their friend alive and well. Now, he just needed to make sure they didn't lose her again.

"I'm really glad your here," he said in her ear. "Don't worry about a thing." Luna didn't say anything, just hugging Simon back.

"Okay." She said. "Can you let go now? I really need to pee." Simon did as he was asked and released her, making her smile at him before leaving. Before she left, she looked over her shoulder at Simon.

"Man, I have some great friends." she said. She left Simon alone with his thoughts at this, finally going to the bathroom. Simon stood by himself in the room for a bit, unsure as to what he was going to say. Finally, he turned and sat back down on his bed, and pulled out his notebook again. He opened the pages back to the pinned photo of Hades, and frowned.

If they even come near her or my friends ever again, I'll kill every single one of them.


"Okay so how exactly are we going to do this?" Elise made a face and looked over at Drake as he said this.

"What do you mean?" She asked. Drake shrugged and gestured to Luna.

"What do we do to get her around Magnolia?" He asked. "Just walk around with her or what?" Elise hadn't really considered this. Sure, it didn't really matter if they just walked Luna around Magnolia it wouldn't matter. However, they would probably cause a lot of unwanted commotion.

"Speaking of which, how exactly are we reintroducing her?" Simon asked as the airship began to descend at the outskirts of Magnolia. "Just waltz in and say 'hey guys we just found our dead friend what's up?' I don't know about that."

"I think we should show Natsu and Lucy first," Ultear said. "It's most important. Maybe we could just go to their house and do it there first?"

"We could go in through Nashi's old window," Elise replied as she thought back to when she and the pink haired girl had done that before when they went home late into the night.

"So we break in?" Bella asked as the airship hit the ground.

"It's not breaking in if it's a friendly break in." Elise replied.

"That doesn't even make sense," Steph replied flatly. Elise shrugged. What did it matter.

"It's already into the day, so they're probably already at the guild hall." Damien pointed out. "So I guess we are breaking in." Drake was silent for a moment, ears twitching. After a moment he nodded.

"Yeah, they are." He said. "You guys go and get into the house, I'll make them come over so we can talk this over."

"My parents, right?" Luna asked. This made everyone look at her quietly, unsure as to what to say.

"Yeah, that's them." Ultear replied. "We need to tell them first, so we're going to get you home first." Luna nodded quietly, not saying anything more. Before the airship door opened, Jellal came up from the deck with what looked like a sweater in his hands.

"I heard you guys wanted to keep low profile," he said, handing the black sweater to Luna. "Keep the hood up, make sure no one can see you." Luna nodded and threw the hoodie on over her head, keeping it's hood up to mask her identity. Finally having come up with some sort of plan, the group left the airship and entered their home town, splitting off as Drake went to the guild to find Natsu and Lucy. This left everyone else going to their house, moving quickly and silently. Elise didn't know what the parents were going to say, but she could imagine it wasn't going to be pretty. Especially since Luna had to memory of being their daughter.

Finally reaching the Dragneel residence, Elise grabbed the doorknob and gave it a good shake.

"Locked," she said. "Window it is."

"Not suspicious at all," Bella murmured as Damien walked over to the window at the side of the house and gestured for Elise. Elise went over and the big man lifted her up over his shoulders and right near the window, allowed her to open it up and gain access to the house. Once everyone had gotten inside, Luna began to walk around the room with an air of confusion on her face.

"My home, huh?" She asked. "This all feels so familiar,"Elise watched as she traced a hand down her old dresser.

"Well, it used to be your room, so I assume it would." she replied. Luna turned to her with a small smile.

"You talked about breaking in through my window." She said. "Have we done that before?"

This caused a painful twang in Elise's chest. Yes, they had.

Elise didn't like to think about who she'd been for so long. The girl that bullied Nashi along with Rocky and Sammy. It was too painful to think about, especially after the explosion the girl had when Natsu had come home. After that, Elise didn't even know what to do with herself. What she did know was that she had to make it right. Anyway she could.

"Sure, yeah." She replied. "We did that a few times. It was fun." Luna managed a small chuckle at this.

"I bet it was," she said. "I wish I remembered all of you."

Elise somewhat wished those memories wouldn't ever come back for her. She didn't want them either.

But even if they did, she'd make sure it didn't sully the friendship they'd formed after. She wouldn't let it.


After splitting off from the others, Drake's walk to the guild hall was rather boring. Well, expect for inside his own head. In there, he was terrified. What exactly was he supposed to say? "Oh hey guys I haven't been here for a week by the way I found your dead daughter in another country and brought her home thanks you're welcome!"

Yeah, that'd go well.

Deciding he'd figure it out as he went along, Drake entered the guild hall and looked around for the parents in question. He saw a lot of his guild mates noticing him and greeting him, and he returned the gesture as nicely as he could. Spotting the family off to the side, Drake swallowed his pride and walked towards them, earning Lucy's attention as he walked up to them.

"Hi Drake!" She greeted as she shifted Luke it her arms a bit, making him whine. "You're back!"

"Yeah, I am." Drake said.

"How did it go, finding Ultear?" Natsu asked. Great. Although that wasn't who they found that excited Drake the most.

"Good," Drake replied. "We found Simon and Damien too. The gangs all back together."

"Really?" Lucy asked. "That's great!" Drake nodded. The gang really was back together.

"Actually, um, I have something I need to show you guys." He said. This seemed to make the pair curious, and Drake felt sweat begin to drop down his forehead. "It's kinda important, can you come with me?" The pair looked at each other for a moment before standing.

"Uh, sure." Natsu replied. Nodding, Drake led them out of the guild hall and down the streets of Magnolia, heading for the house that he'd been to countless times. He knew the others would have found a way inside by now, so he didn't have to worry about them just being outside on the street like bums. That being said, how the hell was he supposed to explain this? He still hadn't done that!

"So what exactly is going on, Drake?" Lucy asked. Drake didn't immediately respond, trying his best to come up with something.

"If you got into some trouble, you can tell us." Natsu offered. "We're here for you."

"I appreciate that," Drake replied as he looked over his shoulder. "But...This is kinda hard to explain."

"Could you try?" Lucy asked. He wanted too, he really did. But he didn't know what to say.

"When we were out there...We found something huge." Drake replied, making both of them frown. "Something massive, and...I just don't know what to say. You just need to see this for yourself." Rounding the corner to the Dragneel's house, Lucy made a sound.

"Did you break into our house?" She demanded. "Why does everyone always do this?"

"Cause it's tradition, Luce." Natsu replied. "Well Drake, what did you need to show us?"

"It's inside," Drake replied, testing the doorknob to find it unlocked. "Before we go in...Please don't overreact. There's a catch." Not saying anything more, Drake opened the door and walked the family inside, seeing everyone else save Luna sitting around the living room.

"Oh, so everyone's here." Lucy said. "What is it then?"

Before Drake could respond, Luna opened the door from Nashi's old room, fiddling with the sleeves of the sweater she'd gotten from Jellal.

"Are they here yet?" She asked, silence casting upon the room as Luna realised what she'd walked into. "Oh, uh..."

To say that Natsu and Lucy looked surprised was an understatement. Honestly, Drake thought they'd both died on their feet. Natsu looked like he was in complete disbelief, and Lucy already had tears streaming down her face.

"N-Nashi?" Natsu managed. Saying Luna barely reacted was an understatement. It looked as though the girl had forgotten her real name.

"Um, hi." she replied weakly. Drake took the initiative and took Luke from Lucy as he saw the mothers arms slacking as she collapsed to her knees.

"...H-How?" Lucy managed in a weak voice. "H-How're you alive? I-I..."

"Nashi..." Natsu croaked, his voice low and shaky. "My baby girl..."

"Um," Luna started, playing with her hands. "I suppose this is the part where I say I don't remember either of you?"

Again, Luna's words cast silence over the group in the living room. Slowly but surely, Lucy looked over her shoulder at Drake, who frowned down at her as he cradled Luke. The mother looked so broken, so destroyed.

"That's the problem I mentioned." He said. "She doesn't have a clue who she is."

Man I love doing this to you guys, I hope you guys enjoyed, leave a review! Let's try and get five!
