Lucy; who had just finished visiting Levy, Jet, and Droy after they had been attacked by Phantom Lord; was walking into Fairy Tails' new makeshift beer hall when it happened. Twelve people; some of them looked like children, appeared to have fallen from the ceiling. Everyone immediately jumped into their fighting positions because they were still on the look out for Phantom Lord.

"Oww!" one of them said.

He was a young boy, probably no more than ten years old. The oldest looking one, probably in her late twenties to early thirties, immediately scooted closer to the boy and asked what was wrong.

"Nothing, I just hit my head on...something," he replied while holding the back of his head.

That "something" was an empty tankard that had lain on the floor. The woman picked it and was about to throw it away from them when she got a good look at her surroundings.

"What the...," she started as she looked around in amazement.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Erza asked, being the first one to approach the strangers.

The woman didn't answer. Instead looked around, as if she was seeing something she couldn't believe.

"What was that?" groaned one of the others from the twelve who had fallen.

He looked like he was in his mid-teens, 15 or 16. The others slowly started to wake up also.

When they were all awake and looking around, with puzzled looks, the woman finally answered Erza, but with another question instead.

"What year is it?"

"Why do you ask?" Erza countered.

"Because I think me and my friends here have just travelled back in time."
