Fairy Tail was a rowdy, dangerous, scary parade as they walked back to their new guild hall that Makarov had already purchased not five minutes after receiving the prize money. Sting and Rogue had stayed behind to help Sabertooth, their exceeds were with them, naturally.

The parade of Fairy Tail members walked, jumped, skipped, fought, and flew through Magnolia, happy to be returning to their old guild hall. Acnologia was personally expecting structural work to be done and was very surprised when he found the guild hall exactly as he had left it seven years ago.

"What's going on, I've checked up on it, it was never in this good a shape," Macao gaped at the building.

Erik's head snapped up and he smiled as he opened the doors wide.

Crime Sorciere was standing there all smiles.

"SURPRISE!" they all laughed.

The Fairy Tail members walked in gaping at the guild hall.

"Dare I ask how you accomplished this?" Acnologia asked.

"Well, you won approximately 2 days, 14 hours, 2o minutes, and.... 3 seconds ago giving us that much time to fix it up for you," Ultear smiled.

"It wasn't that hard," Macbeth smiled.

"Ultear did most of it didn't she," Acnologia guessed.

Everyone in Crime Sorciere looked away neither accepting nor denying that fact.

"This is awesome!" Natsu cried running around the guildhall.

"Aye sir!" Happy cried following him.

"Thank you so much!" Erza cried hugging Jellal.

"Ooh, do I sense a relationship here?" Sorano teased.

"Shut up," Jellal snapped.

"Definite relationship," Sawyer nodded.

"Oh man, this is great!" Gray laughed, he patted Ultear on the back, "Thanks, sis."

"Sis?" everyone else asked.

"Yeah, Ultear is Ur's daughter and we're basically Ur's sons," Lyon explained like it was the most obvious thing.

"Any issues with that?" Ur's voice threatened as she towered above the other members.

"N-No mam," everyone shook... except Acnologia who just rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, Ultear is pretty great," Meredy smiled walking over to the ice mages.

Lyon's gaze seemed to linger a few seconds longer than everyone else.

"Meredy," Juvia cried with happiness embracing Meredy.

Seeing both of his crushes embracing Lyon seemed to lose a bit of his sanity.

"Man I've missed you guys," Erik chuckled somehow hugging every member of the previous Oracion Seis in one group hug.

"Oh, you missed us, mister 'I disappeared for seven years and didn't age a bit'" Sorano sighed.

"Yeah dude, seriously, you trained with us this summer, now you're just smothering us," Sawyer chuckled.

"I don't mind," Macbeth shrugged from within the group hug.

"Okay great hug-fest, now isn't the magic council looking for you guys?" Acnologia asked.

"Yep," Sorano laughed.

"Okay then," Acnologia shrugged massaging his forehead... he needed a drink.

"Hey Sorano, did you see your sister fighting in the games?" Erik asked.

"Of course I did," Sorano scoffed.

"S-Sister?" everyone asked.

"Yukino," Laxus said rolling his eyes.

"HUH?" everyone cried.

"Duh, celestial mage, similar hair, wears white and blue, COME ONE PEOPLE!" Gajeel shouted.

"Does she know?" Lucy asked.

"No, but she should," Sawyer sighed giving Sorano a glare.

"Not yet... well... give me a few weeks," Sorano snapped.

"Okay okay, how long are you guys sticking around?" Erik asked.

"Few hours maybe a few days, we have to high tail it out of here before the magic counsel finds out we're here," Sawyer chuckled.

"Well, then let's have a full out guild party in those few hours," Natsu laughed jumping off a railing.

"Good idea, it's a good way to christen our new guild hall," Wendy smiled.

"Then let's do this! Full out party... what could happen?" Bickslow asked.

"A lot," Acnologia breathed grabbing a drink from the bar before Cana could take all the booze.

Sure enough... a lot went down. Everyone was unconscious by the end of it, Acnologia sighed as he walked across the room, gingerly avoiding the bodies of fairy tail members sprawled over it.

Elfman was cuddling Mira, and Evergreen was lying propped upon his shoulder. Bickslow and Lisanna were sitting on a couch, Lisanna was in her cat form and the two had fallen asleep leaning on each other. Laxus was slumped over the bar, little electric sparks sizzling off him every now and then. Freed had somehow found himself under a table and was curled under there quite contentedly. Alzack and Bisca had, wisely, taken their daughter home and were nowhere to be seen. Laki and Kinana had become good friends in the few weeks they had known each other and were sitting next to each other propped up on a wall. Erik was sprawled on the floor smiling like an idiot, Sorano was cuddling with Macbeth's jacket, and the nightmare mage was sleeping, as usual, in a sitting position. Sawyer had literally collapsed mid-run and was simply lying face down on the floor. Wendy and Charle were curled up with Gajeel who had panther-lily sleeping in his hair. Levy was leaning on Gajeel who didn't seem to mind. Jet and Droy were sleeping where they had drunk. Natsu and Lucy were in the same position as Bickslow and Lisanna, Happy in their laps muttering something about fish. Cana was sleeping hugging a beer bottle... she was a strange woman in Acnologia's opinion... but then again so was every woman in Fairy Tail. Macao and Wakaba were sleeping peacefully, Romeo between them. Ur, Ultear, Gray, Lyon, Juvia, and Meredy were all unconscious together in a tangled mess. Jellal and Erza were cuddling together, and finally, Makarov was sitting on the bar in a deep sleep. Everyone else was either home or in some broom closet.

Acnologia sighed and gave Jellal a good kick. Jellal muttered something and turned over.

"Stupid mages," Acnologia sighed, even as he said it he gazed out lovingly at his guild.

"Hey Uncle! Turns out Sabertooth is working out pretty well," Sting laughed kicking the doors open.

"Oh look, we missed the party," Rogue chuckled looking around.

"Wow everyone came," Lector laughed flying over the Crime Sociere mages.

"Yeah, can you help me get your brothers back home, there's a reason I keep you dragon slayers separate from the guild," Acnologia chuckled.

The twin dragon slayer chuckled as they looked to each other "hangover" they both laughed.

"Uncle, my head hurts," Natsu groaned from his spot on the couch as he coughed up more smoke.

"If you barf, put it in the bucket, I'm not having scorch marks on the new carpet!" Acnologia hissed pulling clothes out of the wash and stuffing them in the dryer.

"Here Natsu," Rogue said giving Natsu a cool compress.

"Thanks, Rogue," Natsu sighed putting the rag on his forehead... all the water on it evaporated instantly.

"I can help," Wendy tried to say.

"No, they need to learn what alcohol does to them, you can't help them every time," Acnologia sighed... "You only had juice right?"

"Yeah, Gajeel didn't let me have anything else," Wendy said.

"Good."

Gajeel was curled up in a ball cursing out the world. Erik was in quarantine because his room was filled with invisible poisonous gas that he was breathing out. Natsu was on the couch and Laxus was lying in Sting's bed, every now and then shocking Gajeel accidentally.

There was a knock on the door.

"I swear it better not be-" Acnologia sighed from where he was doing laundry.

On cue, Serena burst in a random spotlight shining on him as he made many elaborate gestures of hello.

"It is," Rogue sighed.

"How you guys doing?" Serena asked.

As if to respond Natsu moaned and fell off the couch.

"We're fine," Acnologia sighed starting the dryer and walking over as Sting and Rogue tried to lift Natsu back on the couch, Wendy ran in and tried to help. All of them fell back down when Natsu hiccuped sending a burst of flame into the air.

"Yep, we're just fine," Acnologia sighed massaging his temple.

Serena sniffed the air," is that poisonous gas?" he asked concerned.

Acnologia growled and stomped over to Erik's room, "Control you're poison output or you're being taped in the punishment box!" he growled.

Erik cursed in response.

"Fairy Tail partied?" Serena asked.

"Don't they always?" Rogue laughed finally wrestling Natsu back onto the couch.

"Poor guys," Serena sighed.

"Nah, they deserve it," Sting chuckled walking over and giving Serena a fist bump.

"So how have you been, I heard there was some trouble at the grand magic games," Serena asked.

"Nothing we couldn't handle," Rogue smiled hugging his cousin.

"Hi Cousin Serena," Wendy smiled giving Serena a hug.

"Hey pipsqueak, I saw your fight against that god slayer, that was pretty wicked," Serena laughed running Wendy's hair.

"How about you, I hear the magic council has been having trouble and has been pushing Wizard saints further and further away from any political decisions," Acnologia asked.

"Well, it's always been difficult, but yeah, very recently the counsel just seems to be afraid."

"Afraid of what?" Rogue asked.

"Everyone with power, there haven't been many dark guilds, but the light guilds are gaining strength, Fairy Tail coming back to power in a matter of days. That... and the fact that someone's wiping out almost all the dark guilds.

"Crime Sorciere?" Acnologia asked.

"They are taking most of the blame... but I don't think so."

"What makes you think otherwise?"

"There are no survivors, none Acnologia. It's just abandoned, no bodies, no witnesses, it's all just gone... not Crime Sociere's style at all."

"A bigger dark guild?" Sting asked.

"Who knows," Rogue shrugged.

"... Is something burning?" Serena asked suddenly.

"NATSU!"
