The Twilight Ogre guild did back off a little after receiving a warning, so Lucy was pretty happy about that. She hung around in the future and met all of the Fairy Tail members there-Romeo, who was her age, was her favorite even though he was wary of her-before Lahar made her go back to her own time. She wasn't all that sure what happened to the her in that time, but she did hope that future her hadn't been too inconvenienced and wouldn't be mad at her.

The Fairy Tail guild in her time (or around her time, she wasn't all that sure) ismuch bigger, as she found out.

"Whoa," she breathes, eyes wide as she turns her head and tries to take in as much as she could. "This place is awesome."

"Hehe, yup!" a boy pounds his chest next to her, and she jumps and lets out an "Eep!"

"Wh-Who are you?" she stutters out. "A-And why are you naked?"

"Oh, shoot!" he yelps and dives behind a bush. "Where'd I put my clothes?"

She could feel her face burning as the people around her start laughing and chuckling, "That Gray...trying to hit on girls like that is a bad idea."

"Hey, little girl," a man crouches down next to her, smiling. "What brings you to Fairy Tail today?"

"O-Oh!" she blushes a little and looks down at the floor. "I, um...I'd like to talk to Fairy Tail's guild master and join Fairy Tail, if that's okay! I have some kinda complicated circumstances that I should probably tell him about..."

He ruffles her hair, "Well, no matter what, Fairy Tail can be your family. Come on, Master Makarov's in today, so he can get you sorted."

"Thank you!" she beams at him, sparkling with happiness.

The Master is even shorter than she is, and he grumbles a lot, but he, like the nice man who leaves her with Master Makarov, is also very kind to her.

"So you want to join Fairy Tail?" he asks.

"Yeah," Lucy nods, swinging her legs in her chair. "But, um, it's kind of complicated. See, I'm kind of a Dragon Slayer, and, well..."

"There's no problem with your Magic type," the old man reassures her. "Fairy Tail accepts Mages of all sorts of Magicks. Actually, there's another Dragon Slayer in Fairy Tail too-his name is Natsu Dragneel, the Fire Dragon Slayer."

"Really?!" she perks up, and then droops as she remembers the topic, "But, um, that's not really what I was worried about...what I'm actually trying to say is that I'm the Celestial Dragon Slayer and I kind of have the ability to move through time temporarily, as long as I don't change anything permanent, and I, um, kindofalreadyjoinedFairyTail?" she squeaks out the last in a rush as the Master's bushy white brows slowly rise higher and higher. "I'm sorry!" she ducks her head. "It was an accident and I didn't really realize I'd moved through time until someone told me!"

The Master puffs at his pipe for a few minutes, "I see...well then. I suppose you're still a member of Fairy Tail. We'll accept you into our guild regardless. May I see where your guild mark is?"

"Ah, it's right here." She shrugs out of her sleeve and shows him her bicep.

He nods approvingly. "I can feel the magic within it. It is well-placed."

"Thank you!" she beams. "I really like it too! It just feels like it fits, plus it's really pretty. And, uh," she turns shy, "thank you for accepting me anyways."

"Fairy Tail is a second family to all of its members," he smiles at her. "Welcome back...what did you say your name was?"

"Oh, oops. Did I forget to introduce myself?" she laughs sheepishly and rubs the back of her head. "I'm Lucy! Lucy Aria! It's nice to meet you, Master Makarov!"

"Lucy Aria...Aria? Why does that sound familiar? Hmm...Aria, Aria..." the Master mutters, and Lucy grins at him.

"Oh, that's probably because you know my dad. My dad is Lahar Aria; he works with the Council!"

"L-Lahar?!" the Master splutters out, and abruptly falls over.

"Ack! What's wrong?!" Lucy hurries around the side of the desk and kneels down next to him.

"L...Lahar...Lahar's daughter joined Fairy Tail," Master Makarov mutters, eyes spinning.

His soul is starting to float out of his mouth, and Lucy panics, "W-Wait! Don't die! Th-That would be really bad for me if you died as soon as I joined, Master!"

"Lahar's daughter joined Fairy Tail. The Council will be furious with me...I can see so much paperwork in front of me..."

"Master!" Lucy wails, but Master Makarov continues to rock back and forth, muttering horrified words as visions of paperwork and destruction dance before his eyes.

Hello, this is Amy :) Thank you all for your support. I was originally planning on taking down this story altogether, having mostly lost interest in the Fairy Tail fandom and being both too stressed and too busy to actually rewrite or respark my interest in my stories. After reading all your praises and reviews, however, even though I feel like I truly did not deserve them, I've decided to convert this (along with my other pseudo-abandoned stories) into a drabble series that will be marked complete but added to over time. The drabbles are going to be chronological for now, but I'll post as scenes come to mind. Thank you all for your patience and your encouragements.

I do not own Fairy Tail. Please review.
