Mavis let out a small sigh of relief as Tenroe Island was safely encased in the Fairy Sphere, protecting the third's members from Acnologia's attack. Just to be sure, she did a quick headcount. The four dragon slayers, the 3 exceeds, the third master, the card mage, the 3 Strauss siblings, the ice mage, the solid script mage, the ex-quip mage, the crash mage, and the three underlings of the Thunder God Tribe. Mavis blinked. That wasn't right? She counted again. Nope, that was it.

"Hn, that's odd, I could have sworn there was one more . . . where's the Celestial Mage?" she asked herself, her eyes widening in realization on the last part. "Oh dear . . . it seems I made a little mistake, I do hope she's alright . . . "

Mavis closed her eyes and concentrated. She was trying to feel a connection to the missing mage through the girl's Fairy Tail mark. Her eyes shot open as she felt it. The connection was extremely faint, as if the mage was very, very, very far away. Mavis felt a sense of relief, at least the Celestial Mage was alive, now she all she could do is hope that she would be safe. She giggled as she had a thought.

"Who am I kidding? Of course she'll be alright, she is a member of Fairy Tail after all." she reasoned happily.

It was just another normal day for the crew of the Going Merry. The ship's rubber Captain was begging the crew's blonde haired chef for food. The crew's orange haired navigator was keeping an eye out for any surprise storms while managing the crew's finances. The crew's sharpshooter was making some ammunition for his slingshot. The crew's archeologist was reading and drinking a delicious tea made by the chef, occasionally looking up from her book to smile at the crew's antics. The ship's doctor was the only one currently below deck, busy grinding up ingredients for his Rumble Balls and various other medicines. And last, but certainly not least, was the crew's green haired swordsman and first mate, swords resting against his shoulders as he sat back against the mast, trying to take a nap.

Key word: Trying.

"Sanji! I'm hungry! Make me some food, meat! Meat!" Luffy whined, clinging to the chef.

"God dammit Luffy you just ate an hour ago! You can wait!" Sanji shouted at his Captain.

Eyes closed, a nerve in Zoro's brow began twitching.

"But I'm hungry!" the Captain persisted.

Finally, Zoro's temper snapped as he bolted up from his position of sitting up against the mast. "God dammit you two, would you shut the hell up!? I'm trying to get some sleep assholes!"

"Huh? No one cares, you shitty swordsman." said Sanji.

"What? You wanna fight, you damned pervert cook!?" shouted Zoro, getting into Sanji's face.

Sanji responded in kind. "What'd you call me, moss-head?"

Usopp sighed. "Here they go again."

They had just left the desert kingdom of Alabasta after helping it's Princess, Vivi, stop the civil war that would have destroyed her country. The crew was starting to get back to normal, though they still missed the Princess. Some might also find it hard to believe just how quickly the Straw Hats adjusted to their new crewmate, the mysterious Nico Robin, considering she had once been considered an enemy. Tuning out the sound of his two crewmates arguing in the background, Usopp turned his attention to the sky.

He saw something that surprised him. There was something falling from the sky. Curious, Usopp adjusted his goggles to zoom in on the falling object and when he did his jaw nearly dropped to the deck. He started stammering and making strange sounds in his attempts at speech, this drew the attention of Robin, making her look up inquisitively from her book.

"Is something wrong, Long-nose-san?" she asked.

This caused Sanji to forget that he was arguing with Zoro while Luffy whined about food. "Hn, does my lovely Robin-chwan~ need something?" he asked eagerly, doing his little noodle dance over to her.

Robin smiled at him. "No, I'm fine, Cook-san. I was just asking Usopp something."

The seemed to get the attention of the rest of the crew, only now noticing Usopp's odd behavior. Now everyone's curious attention was on Usopp, even Luffy's. Chopper was excluded since he was still below deck.

"S-S-S-S-SOMEONE'S FALLING!" Usopp finally managed to shriek.

Usopp was a liar, but everyone on the ship knew he was a horrible liar, except Luffy . . . . and maybe Chopper. As such, they knew he wasn't lying when he said this, so with expressions of shock, except for Robin, they all whipped their heads up to see what he was looking at. They saw that, indeed, there did appear to be someone falling from the sky.

"Why the hell is someone falling from the sky?!" shouted Zoro.

"H-how should I know?!" Usopp answered.

"Well you're the one who saw him! Didn't you see anything else?!" Zoro demanded.

"No! I didn't see anything!" Usopp replied, not sure why he was getting interrogated.

"Ah! Maybe it's a beautiful angel!" Sanji said, hearts in eyes and practically twirling with happiness.

". . . You moron, if it was an angel it'd be flying, not falling." Zoro said, irritated with the cook.

"Oi, oi, you trying to be smart with me, moss-head?" said Sanji, getting angry.

"Well someone has to be." Zoro replied.

"Yishishishi! This is going to be fun! Gomu Gomu no . . . " said Luffy with an excited look, stretching his arm out to catch the falling person. However, his hand just barely missed as the person in question plummeted into the ocean. "Ah! I missed!"

Zoro went into automatic as a result of him having to save Luffy from drowning one too many times. Boots and katana thunked and clattered respectively as they hit the deck. This was quickly followed by a splash as he dove off the side of the ship. The rest of the crew calmed down, Robin going back to reading, Nami to managing finances, and Sanji lit up a cigarette as Luffy waited anxiously to see the mysterious falling person.

He didn't have to wait long. Zoro was a good swimmer, and a fast one too. The person had hit the water about 50 yards away from the Going Merry but it didn't take long for Zoro to get there. Once he reached the area where the person had hit the water, he took a deep breath and dove down. He spotted the person almost immediately, sinking towards the bottom of the Grand Line. He quickly swam down and grabbed her, for it was a her, but this thought was pushed aside in favor of concentrating on swimming.

Zoro heaved the girl over the railing of the ship, before jumping over himself. Now everyone could finally get a good look at the person that had caused such a ruckus. She was young, around 16 or 17 years old. She might have been older or younger, but it couldn't be by much. It was clear she had recently been in a fight, based on the bandages and wrappings. Her golden blonde hair fell past her shoulders. Sanji had gone to fetch Chopper from below deck while Zoro saved the girl and they came up now.

As soon as Sanji laid his eyes on the girl, his eyes turned to hearts. "Mellorine! Ah, it really was an angel that fell from the sky!" he said, looking up at the sky gratefully.

Chopper, however, noticed that the girl didn't seem to be breathing and started freaking out. "AHHH! SOMEONE! WE NEED A DOCTOR!" he screamed, running around on the deck. He then stopped remember something vital. "Oh right, I'm a doctor."

He transformed into his heavy point a picked her up so that she was kneeling, and began patting her back. After a few pats her eyes snapped open as she began retching up seawater. Chopper turned back to his usual form. "Are you okay?" he asked her, but was quickly pushed aside by Sanji, who knelt next to her. Zoro took off his shirt and began wringing the water out of it.

"Ah, mademoiselle, are you alright?" he asked flirtatiously.

The girl turned to look at Sanji, revealing warm, chocolate brown eyes. Sanji's eyes turned into hearts and his heart burst from his chest as he fell backwards. The girl made a confused look at Sanji. Nami sighed and bonked Sanji on the head, surprising the girl.

"Moron," Nami muttered. She turned to the girl. "Don't mind him. He may be a pervert, but he's harmless. Are you okay?"

The girl looked around. "I-I'm . . . fine. Um, where exactly am I?" she asked.

"You're on our ship, the Going Merry." Nami answered.

"Hey, why were you falling from the sky?" Luffy asked excitedly.

This question seemed to startle her. "I-I don't know." She looked around, as if looking for someone, ignoring Sanji cooing in the background. "Was there anyone else?" she asked, looking concerned.

"N-no, it was just you." said Usopp, who seemed to currently be cowering by the mast.

"Oh, I see." she said depressed, looking around one last time. "Um, one other question, why am I soaking wet?"

"You fell into the ocean." Zoro, making her turn.

Noticing Zoro's wet hair and clothes, the girl came to the logical conclusion. "You saved me?"

Zoro nodded. "Yeah, just who are you anyway?"

"Oh, right." said the girl. "My name's Lucy Heartfilia, and I'm Fairy Tail's Celestial Mage."

The entire crew was silent until Luffy asked, "What's a Celestial Mage? And what's Fairy Tail?"
