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

~Anastasia's POV~

So we were able to escape the tower of heaven, I was still carrying Simon on my back and Simon grunted and woke up.

"Hey big guy, you're up.." I said to him.

"Thank you for saving me." Simon said to me.

"No problem."

As we heard water splashing and we looked over to everyone running towards us.

"Erza! Simon!?"

"What happened?" Erza asked confused, "I'm...alive?" Then she noticed Natsu was bridle carrying her.

"We are the same!"

"Never do anything like this again..."

"Natsu..."

"Never again!"

"I won't...Natsu... Thank you..."

As everyone hugged Erza and Simon in joy.

Natsu was sleeping on the bed with a lot of bandages on his body, and was snoring loudly.

"Is he gonna be okay?" Gray asked.

"He's been asleep for three days straight now..." I said.

"He's a real freak, eating Etherion like that..." Gray said.

Natsu stood up, "What did you just call me, Gray?!"

"He's awake!" Happy said as he flew toward him, then he fall back to sleep, "He's asleep!"

"Don't wake up if you don't want to pick a fight!" Gray said irritated.

Lucy chuckled in amusement.

"I caused you all much trouble during this latest incident..." Erza said.

"Er-china, it's okay.." I said, "We all forgive you."

"Come to think of it, where's that girl?" Erza asked Gray.

"Oh, Juvia? She already headed back." Gray said.

"She said something about wanting to join Fairy Tail as soon as possible." I added.

"I see..."

Afterward, Erza told me everything in private. She said it might've been Jellal who prevented the tower from exploding.

Then we all hangout with one another. Later I was writing in my journal.

I can only guess that he turned back to his old, nice self once he was free from Zeref's worshiper. Then he merged himself with the Etherion in Erza's place and released the magic energy into the sky. It does seem to make sense when you look at it that way. But it's also kind of sad... It means Jellal was just another victim of Zeref's worshiper. I wish I could help him...

"Stacey!" Erza slammed open the hotel door, "Have you seen Sho and the others?!"

"No... I haven't." I replied.

"I can't find them anywhere." Erza said.

"I see, maybe they left without saying a word, do you?!" I said.

"Hmm, I see..."

"What happened?" I asked.

"Tell Natsu, Lucy and Gray to get the "fireworks" ready." Erza told me.

"Huh?! Ok!"

Erza caught up with the others, "There you are!"

"Sis! We grew up inside that tower. There's so much we don't understand and feel unsure about...So we want to see this outside world for ourselves! We don't want to live our lives dependent on others anymore...or live our lives for someone else anymore!" Sho said.

"We want to live for ourselves now and discover our dreams on our own! That's the freedom we seek!" Simon added.

"With that much determination, I'm sure you can do anything. I feel relieved now." Erza said as she requiped into her ceremonial armor, "However...there are three rules people who leave Fairy Tail must abide by! Listen well!"

"Hold on! Leave? We haven't even joined!" Wally said in shock.

"One! You must never reveal information detrimental to Fairy Tail for as long as you live! Two! You must never make unauthorized contact with past clients for personal gain! Three! Even if our paths stray, you must live your lives to the fullest! You must never consider your lives insignificant! You must never forget the friends you loved for as long as you live!" Erza pour out her heart with this speech to her friends as she and the other were crying. "Let the Fairy Tail farewell ceremony begin!"

"Yeah!" All of us agreed as Natsu started by using his fire and make them to fireworks.

"May the flowers of light blossom in your hearts!"

Gray started next with his fireworks. Lucy started with her fireworks as well. I formed the biggest one and pout it to the sky.

"It's just the opposite, Erzy!" Millianna cried to her.

"If we stay here, you'll always be reminded of painful memories...!"

"I'll never forget you, wherever you are."

Besides, painful memories strengthen us
by acting as seeds for tomorrow.

"People have that power within them! Walk tall! I will continue to do so as well! As long as we remember this day, I know we'll meet again. Take care."

"You too, Sis!"

"Bye-bye, Erzy!"

"We will meet again someday! It's a promise!"

"It's a promise!"

We all make it back to magnolia to see the guildhall finished.

"Wow!" I said in excitement.

"This is a surprise..." Erza commented.

"They finished it?!" Natsu and happy said in unison.

"Our new Fairy Tail!" Gray said, "Is this an open-air café?""

"E-Even a merchandise shop?" Lucy said shock.

"Step right up! Oh, it's you guys! Welcome back!" Max said then greeted us.

"Wow! You're a salesclerk, Max!" Happy said as he fly over, "It's been a long time, huh?!"

"Yeah, Master ordered me to go study about business." Max said to him.

"Max Alors?! You've been in Sorcerer Weekly!" Lucy said excitedly.

"Hello again! I've heard all about you, Lucy!" Max said as he smiled at her.

"I don't even wanna think about what you've been told..." Lucy said nervously.

"So, what are you selling?!" Happy asked him.

"T-shirts, wristbands, mugs, towels, and, most popular of all..."

"Anastasia and Lucy figures!" It was figures of me and Lucy.

"What?! Don't make stuff like that without permission!" Lucy said.

"The clothes come off too, of course!" As the figures clothes were cast off but revealed bathing suits underneath. We went inside and it was big inside.

"Oh! So pretty!"

"Yes. Splendid indeed!" Erza said.

"What's with you, Natsu?" Gray asked him as Natsu was frustrated by the new look.

"It's different than before." Natsu grimaced.

"Lu-chan, welcome back!" Levy greeted her.

"Levy-chan!" Lucy greeted back.

"Amazing, isn't it? You'll never believe it! There's a pool behind the bar!"

"Welcome back!"

"Why a pool...?" Lucy questioned.

"It's not the same..." Natsu grimaced as I patted his head to calm him down.

"There's also a recreation hall down below!"

"Yo!"

"Oh, you're back!"

"It's got everything..." I said with a smile on my face.

"It's not the same..."

"And the biggest change is upstairs! Everyone is allowed on the second floor now!" Levy added.

"Hey there!"

"You still need to have an S-Class wizard with you to go on an S-Class quest, of course."

"You've returned, you bunch of fools?" Gramps greeted us.

"Master!"

As we all look over to see Juvia next to gramps. She had a new look.

"This is Juvia, a new member of ours. Isn't she a cutie?"

"It's a pleasure to work with you!" Juvia greeted us.

"You actually joined..."

"Thank you for your help in Akane." Erza thanks her.

"This is all thanks to you! Juvia will do her very best!" Juvia smiled.

"Hey, girl!" Lucy smiled at her.

"We will fight for Gray!" Juvia glared at her.

"That that won't be necessary." Lucy said nervously.

"Ju-v-ia-chan..." I said to her as she moved her position from Lucy.

"Oh, Stacey-sama... Juvia will try her hardest to get your approval for Gray-sama." Juvia said to me.

"Please don't." Gray grumbled.

"And there's one other new member. Come on. Say hello." Gramps said as we all look over to see Gajeel.

"Wh-Whoa! You can't be serious!"

"Gajeel?!"

"What is he doing here?!"

"Wait! Juvia brought him here! " Juvia tried to stop them from fighting him.

"Juvia aside, he's the one responsible for destroying our guild!"

"Now, now. As they say, yesterday's enemy is today's friend." Gramps said.

"Yeah... It doesn't bother me at all..." Levy said cornering by a table.

"Screw this! I can't work with this guy!" Natsu said angrily.

"Don't worry. I don't plan to be your buddy." Gajeel said back to him, "All I want is work. It disgusts me that I ended up working at the guild I can stand the least."

"Hey!" I said as the male dragon slayers looked at me, I give them a big mom glare, "No fighting..."

"But..."

I made my mom stand and glare. As Gajeel and Natsu tsk their teeth in anger and look away from each other.

"It is the duty of an old soldier to lead a stray youngster onto the right path. He's a nice guy at heart... I'd like to believe." Gramps said.

"If that's your decision, Master, then I will comply." Erza said, "However, I think it would be wise
to keep a close eye on him."

"Yes..."

"This new place just doesn't feel right to me..." Natsu says then it got dark and the stage lights up.

"Oh! Hey! We're back, Mira!"

"Welcome back!" Mira said then looked at me with a mischievous smile, "Anastasia, why don't you come up on stage and sing a song for us?"

"Okay." I got over and move the microphone closer to me. "I dedicated this song to everyone in this guild."

Fly higher and higher
Let wings of love come flying over me
While my heart is calling out for you.

Everyone was smiling by my song. As the instrumental plays in the background.

Although it's just another day
A day before tomorrow
I don't know why I took it for granted
With you by my side

Cry. That I have come to realize
Two hearts that were together, now they're apart
I wish I had the kind of power
To turn the tide and turn back that time

Fly higher and higher
Let wings of love come flying over you
Let me be the one to hold you close and give you happiness
Without you there's nothing in this world to carry on

So I'm sending all my love to you.

Everyone was teary eye and clapping at my song, and I bow.

"That was great! Who's next?!" Macao asked. Then the lights turn off for a moment, and someoneelse was on the stage. It was Gajeel and he was wearing a suit and had a guitar.

"Wh-What the...?!"

"This is a little ditty I wrote called "Best Friend." Give it a listen."

"Like hell we will!"

"And what's with the fancy suit?!"

Colorful, colorful, shoo-bee-doo-ba!

Shiver with love!

Iron-colored and metallic!

"He's pretty good!" Elfman said excitedly.

"Way to go, Gajeel-kun!" Juvia cheered on.

"This is great!"

Too-too-too sha-la-la-la!

Shoo-bee-doo-ba!

Sha-la-la!

Take a bite and sweet nectar will come out...

"I've never heard a song this bad in my life!" Natsu said covering his ears, and then Gajeeel throw his guitar at him. Then he blow on his harmonica in anger.

"You want a piece of me?!" Natsu said angrily as he and Gajeel attacked one another.

"Shoo-bee-doo-ba!" Gajeel responded.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Natsu said as he and Gajeel fight.

"Shoo-bee-doo-ba, you loser!"

"Stop that!"

"So obnoxious..."

Then someone hit a beer cup at Natsu, "All right, who threw that?!"

"Natsu! Quit screwing around!" Gray said as accidentally bumped into Erza who was eating a cake.

"My... strawberry cake..." Erza said softly with tears then Elfman stomps on it causing her to squeals in shock.

"Quit your shrieking if you consider yourselves real men!"

"Shut up!" Erza yelled at him as she kicked him. Then the guild was getting wrecked.

"Someone! Restrain 'em!"

Then everyone started to fight one another and I just sweat-dropped at this. As Lucy, Happy, Kirala and I just sighed in disbelief and Gramps was crying from everyone destroying the guildhall.

"Now this is the Fairy Tail I-" Natsu said well grinning then got punched by Gajeel iron club.
