"Listen! We're not here to play. We're here to train!" Carla scolded. "Let's get to it!" Happy said. "It's hard to take you seriously when you're dressed like that." Droy said. Jet chuckled. "There's plenty of time for training. But it's important to balance work and pleasure. We'll play hard! Eat hard! Sleep hard!" Erza said. You sweat dropped. "Erza, I didn't hear work hard anywhere in there." You said. Gray and Natsu suddenly ran forward knocking over Jet and Droy in the process. "The ocean!" Natsu said. "Last one there's a rotten egg!" Gray said. "Swimming contest!" They said as they swam in the ocean. "Sand castle contest!" Then they began building sand castles. "Eating contest!" They then went to a restaurant. "Sun tan contest!" Last they both laid down on a towel on the sand. You, Jet and Droy sweat dropped watching them. "That was fun." Natsu said. "I'm ready for a nap." Gray said. "Geez. Is everything a completion with these two? You asked. "Look at "em, they're kickin' back and relaxin." Jet said.  "Well, it's only the first day so I guess we can let 'em enjoy it." Droy said. "My beloved Gray looks so handsome with a tan!" Juvia said. Meanwhile Wendy was working on studying her new sky spells. "Okay. Aw, man. This is gonna be super tough. Natsu was underwater and let out a big fire dragon roar. "Whoa, Natsu's really incredible! I'm amazed that he can still do his Fire Dragon Roar with all the water pressure down there." Happy said. Natsu swam to the top. "That was awesome!" Happy said. "You ain't seen nothin' yet, buddy! I'm just gettin' started here!" Natsu declared.

"Just watch! I'm gonna up my power even more!" Natsu went underwater again and did another roar. Gray watched on a rock near the water. "Better train or he'll show me up." Gray said. Meanwhile Lucy was training with one of her celestial spirits on how to sustain her magic power. "To do that, you must first strengthen your mind, thereby enhancing the vessel which holds your magic power. Feel the land. The wind. The air. Focus on that sensation. You must control your breathing and try to become one with nature." Capricorn said. Lucy took a deep breath and wind began to swirl around her. "There you go. That's it, Lady Lucy. Nice work." Capricorn encouraged. Lucy tried to focus but it became harder for her. "Keep going. you need to release more magic power." He said. Lucy began grunting and then fell backward panting. "That's tough." She said. "This takes me back to times I spent with Lady Layla. I assisted her with her training as well." He said. "Say, have you ever heard of "primordial magic"?" Lucy asked. "It's the magic from which all others were created. The origin." He said. "I remember Hades saying that he wanted to get his hands on it." Lucy said. "I guess my mom must've left out some stuff when she told me about it. She never mentioned (Y/n)  or the Grand Magic World. In fact, she didn't bring up anything scary at all." She said. "What are you trying to say?" Capricorn asked. "It's hard to explain, but if the "primordial magic" my mom told me about when I was little is real, then it's not something that Hades would ever be able to get his hands on. 'Cause it's not something tangible. From what I understand, it seems easy to get but it's actually very hard to obtain. And it's contradictory because even though it's more powerful than anything in this world, it can also be incredibly weak. My mother once told me, that all forms of magic began with the power of love. So, that's why I think "primordial magic" actually refers to "love" Lucy said. Capricorn smiled. "I like the way you think, Lady Lucy." He said. "If only Hades had been able to see it that way, too. Maybe he could've avoided the depths of darkness." Lucy said. Meanwhile Gray was busy training while you gave Wendy some wind reader glasses to help her study faster. Juvia was also busy training as she made giant blocks of water and Erza was training with her swords as she chopped a cliff into the ocean. Natsu and Happy were racing each other. "Gotta get stronger!" Natsu claimed. "Aye, sir!" Happy said. Natsu ran ahead. "Stronger and stronger!" He said. "Aye-aye, Sir!" Happy said. "Anybody who looks down on our guild is gonna regret it! 'Cause we're still number one!" Natsu said. "Aye!" Happy said. "I'm gonna show those good for nothin' jerks the power of Fairy Tail!" Natsu shouted. "Heck yeah! You show 'em!" Happy shouted.

Time Skip

"Look! The stars are so pretty!" Lucy said as you, her, Wendy, Erza, Juvia, Levy and Carla were looking at the stars together. "Yeah, they are." You said. "Hey, I wonder how training is going for the others." Levy said. "Do ya think they might be out there looking up at the same stars that we are right now?" Wendy asked. "We can do it. I know we can." Lucy said.

Time Skip

Gray and Natsu were both stretching, getting ready for more training. "Oh man, I already feel stronger!" Natsu said. "Me too, but we can't get lazy. We've gotta keep training." Gray said. "I can't believe that our magic power's increased so much and it's only the second day!" Wendy said. "If we keep training this hard for the next three months, I have no doubt that we'll be able to catch up with everyone else." Erza said. You and Levy nodded. Natsu chuckled as he pulled giant heavy tires with rope. "All of you other guilds had better watch out 'cause Fairy Tail is comin' for ya! And we're gonna be Fiore's number one again!" He shouted. " first I thought, "We've only got three months? That's not enough time!" But now that we've really started training,  more like, "We've got three months? This'll be easy!" Lucy said. "Aye!" Happy said. Lucy and Happy suddenly screamed when Virgo popped out from the sand. "Princess! Terrible news!" She said. "What the? Would you please watch where you pop up?" Lucy asked on top of her. "Do you want to punish me?" Virgo asked. "No thanks." Happy said. "I will if you ask again." Carla threatened. "I'm glad you're here Virgo 'cause I've been wondering about something. What happened to you and the other Celestial Spirits when Lucy and (Y/n) got stuck in the Fairy Sphere for seven years? Did you get trapped in your world because they couldn't summon you?" Gray asked. "I'm sorry, I didn't even think about how that might've affected you guys." Lucy said apologetically. "I just went ahead and summoned you during the Key of the Starry Heavens incident like it was no big deal." She said. "Oh, you poor things, I can't imagine how dreadfully bored you must've been because of Lucy!" Juvia said. "Don't cry. I appreciate your concern but we were never all that bored." Virgo said. "Is there something wrong, Virgo?" You asked with concern. She sighed, then quickly bowed down. "The Celestial Spirit World is on the brink of destruction. I beg you. We really need Fairy Tail's help right now." She said. You all gasped. "That's horrible." Erza said. "Is there anything that we can do?" Gray asked. "I've been asked to bring you to our world at once. The king would like to explain the situation to you himself." Virgo said. "Alright then, you lead the way Virgo! If our friends need help we won't let 'em down!" Natsu said. "Wait a minute. I thought humans weren't able to enter the Celestial Spirit World." You said. "Well there is one way in which it's possible, (Y/n). You'll simply have to wear Celestial Spirit garments." Virgo said. "Here we go." She stepped back. "Hang on! We're going right now?" Lucy asked as a yellow magic circle appeared below you and your friends. You all screamed as a bright light surrounded all of you and you all disappeared. All of you screamed as you landed in The Celestial Spirit World, then looked around in awe.

"This is the Celestial Spirit World?" Lucy asked. "It's beautiful." You said. "And so we meet again, human girls. I bid you welcome to our world." The king said. "Massive." Natsu said. "Mustache!" Happy said. "Celestial Spirit King!" Lucy said. "So, you're the ruler of this kingdom?" Erza asked. Wendy and Levy sweat dropped. "Does she have to be so rude?" They asked themselves. "Indeed I am." The king said. "Is it true that your world is on the brink of destruction?" You asked with concern. The king looked at you for a long moment.  "Smile!" He said. You gasped. "(Y/n) and friends, I have requested your presence, so that we might honor your remarkable return from the prison of time. Now, let us celebrate!" He said. Then all of the spirits appeared. You all gasped. "I thought you were facing destruction?" You asked. "I lied." Virgo said. "What?!" You asked. Taurus laughed. "Sorry for tricking you like that Miss (Y/n) But let me tell ya, it's worth it to see your face and utterly rockin' body right now cause that Celestial World dress has got my moo of approval." He said. "We wanted to surprise you and your friends, baby!  the way, if any of you ladies would like to sport a new hairstyle for the party, I'm your man, baby!" Cancer said. "We were extremely happy when we heard you had returned and we wanted to celebrate with you." Capricorn said.  "But there's no way all of us could manifest in the human world at the same time so we decided to bring you here!" Lyra said. "Everyone wanted to attend the party and that's the only way we could make it happen. Sorry about that!" Aries said. " many humans get to come here, but you're wicked!" Scorpion said. "This is a one-time thing, so don't get cocky." Aquarius said. "Piri piri." "Gemini said.

"Thanks for invitin' us over, everybody!" Natsu said. "Okily-dokily, let's party! Are you gentlemen with me?" Sagittarius asked Natsu and Gray. "Yeah, now that we know your world's not in danger!" Gray said. "Y"know (Y/n), I wouldn't mind it if you were to jump into my arms. Just sayin'." Loke said. "Keep dreaming, Leo." You said. "Let the merriment begin!" The king said. "Tonight we shall eat, drink, and sing with abandon, as we celebrate the return of our old friends the human girls Lucy and (Y/n), and their colleagues." He announced. Everyone cheered and began to celebrate. Gray and Loke do a handshake. "It's been a while, man." Gray said. "Shame about the S-Class trials." Loke said. Wendy walked up to one of the clock spirits. "Hello Horologium!" She greeted. "Good to see you, my dear!" He said. "I just wanted to say thanks again for saving my life." Wendy said. "You're too kind There's no need to thank me." He said. "Although I have to say. It was kinda embarrassing when my clothes came off." Wendy said. "Oh my! I'm sure it was!" He said. ""My apologies. Please forgive me, he says sincerely." Lucy said from behind. "Excuse me, but aren't you the girl who once joined with Lucy?" Aquarius asked Juvia. "What do you mean by "joined with"?" Juvia asked. "You got a boyfriend, dontcha?" Aquarius asked. "Um, well, no." Juvia said. "Seriously? A cutie like you?"  Aquarius asked. "You'd better step up your game or you're gonna end up like Lucy!" She said. "Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Lucy asked. "Wow! This is incredible! There are so many books that I've never even seen before!" Levy said in awe as she looked at all of the books. "Oh Really? Then please take one as a souvenir." Crux said.

"Yeah?" Levy asked with a smile. She then sweat dropped as he looked like he had fallen asleep. "He's asleep?" She asked. "Nah, it just looks that way. He's actually thinking." You said. "Oh hey Pule." Happy said. "I always forget that you're a Celestial Spirit, too." Cara said. Suddenly a lot of different colored Pules appeared around them. "Whoa! There's a ton of 'em!" Happy said. Carla laughed. "Nicolas come in all shapes and sizes!" Gemini said. "Wow Erza! I'm over the moon about your amazingly shapely body!" Taurus said. "Really?" She asked. " mind jumpin' up and down a few times, pretty please?" He asked. "What for?" Erza asked. "Ugh, I really don't like that Spirit." Levy said. "I kinda don't either." Wendy said. "Yummy! What is this food I'm eatin'?" Natsu asked. "That's crab pescatore with stardust butter, baby!" Cancer said. " well as a tender and juicy lamb steak drizzled with Hamal sauce!" Aries said. "I  had no idea I was eating your kind!" Natsu panicked. "This place is pretty weird but I think its kinda cool too." Gray said. "Yeah right? When I pictured the Celestial Word in my head it wasn't anything like this!" Lucy said. "I wonder which one is my Plue." Lucy said as she looked at all of them around her. "It's only natural that our world would surprise you, for it is a mystery to mankind. We've had many human friends over the years but you are the first I've invited here." The king said. "Wow, that's awesome. but don't you let it go to your head, okay?" Gray said as he patted you on the head. "Hands off! What do you think you're doing?" Juvia snapped. Lyra then began to play a song on the harp.

I can see you there,

right by my side as always.

You never left or let

me down my friend.

I can feel you there,

close to my heart as always.

Your soul and mine

share a bond made of love.

So as the skies turn grey

and the clouds gather above.

Trying to fight back your tears,

feeling so lost

and alone.

I am the star that

burns for you,

shining through

the night.

Just follow me,

I will guide you home.

And when you're

feeling lost at sea,

listen for my song,

calling you

back to the shore.

Lucy was crying tears of joy at the end. "That was beautiful. Thank you! I love you all!" She said. "Smile!" The king said. "Wow. You Spirits certainly know how to throw a party." You said.  "I've never eaten such tasty food in my life." Gray said. "I can't believe that you actually ate the food! How could you?" Natsu asked in tears. "Are you sure it's okay if I take this one?" Levy asked. "Hey guys, can we keep these outfits, too?" Wendy asked. "This creepy Plue doesn't wanna let go of me!" Happy said. "Who'd have thought that those two would get along so well?" Carla asked, watching Juvia and Aquarius. "You've really got it rough. Stay strong!" Aquarius said shaking hands with Juvia. "No, you have it much worse than me!" Juvia said. "Take care of yourselves old friends. Remember, no matter where you go, We will always be with you." The king said. "Lookin forward to workin' with ya again!" Scorpion said. "Yes, indeed. Feel free to call on us anytime." Capricorn said. "Tell the guild I'll visit them soon." Loke said. "Goodbye. We've enjoyed having you here. and we appreciate you looking after Lucy for us." Aries said. "Bye!" All of them said. "This is goodbye for now. May the guidance of the stars keep you well. Until we meet again!' The king said. "It's obvious that all the Celestial Spirits love you dearly." Erza said. "Yeah, they're the best friends a wizard could hope for!" Lucy said. "Alright guys, We've had our fun now it's time for us to get back to the beach and train for the Grand Magic Games!" Natsu said. "Right on! We're in a good place cause we've still got three months to catch up to the other guilds!" Gray said. "Fairy Tail's gonna take Sabertooth down!" Happy declared. "Oh. There's something I probably should've mentioned before we came here." Virgo said. "Huh?" Natsu asked. " our world, time flows a bit differently than it does in yours." Virgo said. "Wait, are you serious?" Natsu asked. "I bet it moves slower, so a year in your world is the same as a day back home, huh?" He asked. "If that's true then we should do all of our training here!" Gray said. "Not quite. It moves faster. You see, just one day in the Celestial Spirit World is the same as three whole months in the human world." Virgo said. You all stared at the ocean as Jet and Droy ran over. "What took ya so long? We've been waitin' forever!" Jet said. "There's only five days to go until the Grand Magic Games! Hope you guys got lots of training in while you were gone!" Droy said. "It's all over." Gray, Natsu and Erza said as they collapsed on the sand. You and Wendy began to cry. "No way! Give us our time back mustache face!" Lucy shouted.
