Celestial Realm

I groaned and pulled the covers over my head as the light hit my eyes.

"Rise and shine!" Jellal cheered, yanking the blanket away.

I sat up hissing and shivering. "Really?"

"Yes. Now breakfast is downstairs waiting for you. Hurry up unless you want it to be cold," Jellal said, walking out of my room.

"Like my heart," I grumbled, getting off the bed.

I walked over to the bathroom and turned on the faucet. I cupped my hands and splashed the water onto my face. I looked up at the mirror, water dripping off my face.

"Your appointment is in 3 hours," Aquarius called, popping out of her gate.

"Got it."

I grabbed my towel and wiped down my face as Aquarius left. I walked over to my cabinet and changed into a simple black tank-top with a matching knee-length skirt. I slipped on my socks and walked downstairs to see Jellal flipping pancakes.

"Morning, sunshine," Kianna said, putting cups of orange juice on the table.

"Aren't you supposed to open up the guild?" I asked, sitting down in my chair. I reached for a piece of toast and popped it in my mouth.

"Macao's got it. Romeo wanted extra training. I didn't see that there was anything wrong with that," she shrugged, sitting down in her own seat.

"Pancakes anyone?" Jellal said, walking over with a plate of pancakes.

"Ooh! Me!" Kianna said excitedly. She reached over and took two pancakes from the stack.

"Mmm. Delish! You've gotten better at this," she said, her mouth full of pancake.

When he first joined FairyTail, his cooking skills were a bit... questionable. To put it nicely. Just like Erza's cooking skills. If you don't believe me, remember the first time Erza went on stage...

Let's just say her cooking is as good as her acting... -.-"

Hey, to be fair. I did force Jellal into cooking classes. Did you really think I would Jerza live without knowing how to cook? Hilarious!

"Anyways, I have a conference later with the Celestial King. It should take 12 days to finalize everything. Do you guys need anything? I mean, I already set up the barrier around all of our land, including the one we just acquired," I rambled.

"Speaking of. How did you get Twilight Ogre's land?" Kianna asked.

I winked. "Secret."

"It's only for 12 days. We'll be fine," Jellal scoffed.

I blinked at him.

"You do know that 1 celestial day is 3 months here, right?" I said slowly.

The look on his face changed from delight to confusion to horror. He choked on his juice and Kianna patted his back. He jumped out of his seat and slammed his hands on the table, shaking my cup of milk.

"You mean you'll be gone for 12 celestial days? Which is, I might add, 3 years!" Jellal exclaimed.

I nodded sheepishly. Jellal only groaned and collapsed back into his chair. I grabbed my cup and chugged it.

"Anyways, could you take Twilight Ogre's land and build another Guild Hall?" I asked, turning to Kianna. "I left the blueprints with you and the spell so you should be fine."

Kianna nodded. Turns out the menu thing can work for multiple people. The only problem is that your actual body in real life is very vulnerable.

"I'm counting on you to watch her while she does that," I said to Jellal, getting a nod in reply.

"What's it for anyway?" he grumbled, eating a piece of toast.

"We're going to call it Fairy Saber. We have a good relationship with Sabertooth and with me gone, we'll have extra S-Class missions," I explained. "Other guilds can come in take some quests if we approve that it fits their expertise. I already talked to Uncle Jiemma and he agreed."

"Sabertooth is getting more attention these days," Jellal mused.

"The point is, I want both guilds to leave someone they trust in charge of the building. Sabertooth is sending in Minerva and I want Romeo there."

"R-Romeo?!" Jellal sputtered. "B-but he's so young."

"He's also fit to be S-Class and you need to stay at the guild. I also need to tend to the bar," Kianna added, taking a sip of her water.

Jellal looked at me, then Kianna, and sighed. "Fine."

"It'll be good for all of Magnolia. I also bought some land nearby to make a hotel," I said mischievously.

Jellal groaned. "More paperwork for me."

"But also more money to hire people to do the paperwork," I said.

He sat up quickly, thinking.

"That's true," he admitted.

I put two lacrimas on the table.

"I gave one to Minerva and Romeo already. These are for you," I said, pushing it towards them. "Call me if you need anything. I mean, anything. Big or small. Don't try to handle these problems by yourself. Loke will update me weekly."

"I'm sorry!" Aries cried, hopping out of her gate. "It's time to go, Princess."

I nodded at her before turning to them. "Remember everything I said."

I stepped into the portal before poking my head back out, scaring Aries.

"Also, try to finish building the new Hall and hotel today. The sooner the better," I added.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, do you know why you're all here today?" the Celestial King boomed.

The thirteen Zodiacs, including Capricorn and Leo, were present at the table. Six on one side, seven on the other with the King and I at the ends.

"I don't know if you all know this," I said, getting everyone's attention. "But it's been 12 years since I first arrived here in this world. And after these past days, it seems that you guys know more about me than you're letting on. Including you, Your Majesty."

They all looked away guilty. I sighed and slammed my hands on the table, standing up in the process.

"I just want you guys to tell me what you know so I can understand what happened better. I want to know why I lost my memories. Why I was sent to another dimension. Why... this happened," I said softly, sitting back down.

"I guess we can do that for you, moo," Taurus said, playing with his thumbs.

"We agree," Pisces said.

One by one, the Zodiacs agreed until there was only the King left. He gave sighed and nodded.

"We have 11 days left to figure this all out. Leo, Capricorn, update me weekly. By that, I mean in Earth days. Warn me if anything happens. Dismissed," I said, walking out of the conference room.

Inside the conference room...

"She's acting like her old bossy self again. Never thought I'd be happy to see that," Aquarius chuckled, leaning on her boyfriend's shoulder.

"We are! She's the one that got us together," Scorpio added, kissing her forehead.

"Ew! Go get a room!" Gemini shrieked, looking like the mage.

Loke whacked Gemini on the head, turning them back to their original form.

"Don't say that in her voice," he said, horrified.

"You're just jealous you can't see her nice body, moo!" Taurus shot back.

"Let's all calm down here," Ophiuchus hissed, quieting down the room.

"Hate to admit it but the fish is right," Libra said, balancing on her right foot with her hands in the air. "We need her back in case an emergency happens again."

Just then, Virgo jumps up from her seat.

"I forgot to tell Hime. I found the soul she was looking for," she said emotionlessly, running out of the room.

Everyone sweatdropped, watching the maid run out of the room.

"Are we done here?" Aries asked, shyly. She let out an 'eep' as eyes turned her way.

"I think we are done here," the Celestial King said, getting up from his chair.

"Hime just ran off to the shore. She said 'Don't look for me. I'll be quick.' " Virgo said, breaking into the room.

They all let out a groan. They knew this pattern. She would go out, say it would be quick, and come back with shopping bags...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm back!"

They all froze at the voice. I skipped into the meeting room placing bags in front of all of them.

"Did you know there was a sale on fruit?" I squealed.

They looked in the bag and let out a sigh of relief. I looked at them confused.

"What? Did you expect me to buy clothes or something?" I said, tilting my head.

Their faces paled and in the blink of an eye, the meeting room was empty.

"Huh? Was it something I said?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The 12 days passed by quicker than I thought. Loke and Capricorn never came up to report anything to me nor did I get any calls from Kianna, Jellal, Romeo, or Minerva, so I'm guessing everything's okay?

I jumped on the suitcase, sitting on it as Virgo zipped it up.

"Sorry to make you help me out with this," I said.

"It's not a problem, Hime," Virgo assured.

I grabbed my bags and walked to the conference room for the last time.

"Well, long time no see, boys," I joked, seeing Loke's and Capricorn's state.

"Nice to know you care, princess," Loke groaned, applying medicine on his arms.

"You'll be happy to know that the kid is very powerful now and that Loke's the only one that got injured," Capricorn stated, a mischievous look in its eyes.

I giggled as Loke protested, getting up to fight Capricorn, before falling back down. Aries quickly ran to his side with bandages as Aquarius and Scorpio cuddled in the corner.

"It's nice seeing you all," I said, smiling.

I had learned a lot these past 12 days. The Celestial King, or Mustache Face, and I found out my problem with my tiny body and fixed it. I can grow once more, but I really didn't change. It's only been 12 days people. This takes time. -.-"

I waved my hand and a portal appeared. I walked towards it before turning around, taking in the sight before me.

Mother Pisces teaching her son, Aries was tending to Loke, Capricorn was practicing punches, Aquarius and Scorpio were kissing in the corner.

Gemini had turned into me and was currently scolding Loke, Libra was trying to teach Taurus how to balance while Orphiuchus and Sagitarrius were playing around with arrows, Virgo was standing next to me with luggage and Cancer was fixing up my hair into a loose bun.

"All done, ebi!" Cancer declared, stepping back to admire his masterpiece.

"Bye, guys!" I shouted, turning on my heel, the FairyTail symbol high in the air.

"Bye!"

"See you brat!"

"No punishment, Hime?"

"Bye, and I'm sorry!"

"Bye, ow!"

"Bye, ebi!"

"Bye-bye!"

I smiled as the portal closed behind me, their voices fading away. I looked around me to see everyone's jaws dropped.

"You might want to close them unless you plan on eating flies," I giggled.

"LILI-NEE!" two shadows cried flying right at me.

I paled and took a step back. And by a step, I mean a big jump back. The two shadows fell face-first on the floor.

"Ow!" the girl whined, rubbing her forehead.

"Lili-nee! It's nice to see you. Jellal-nii was crying over all the paperwork," Romeo said, dusting himself off.

"Nice to see you too kiddo," I said, ruffling his hair.

It was kinda hard to in my tiny body but I made it. I was just an inch taller than him.

"Me too! Me too!" Minerva said, walking up to us.

I chuckled and patted her head too. I looked around the place to see 3 floors.

"Three floors?" I said in amusement.

"Hotel's right across the street. I had people we trust run the hotel. My dad was not a candidate," Romeo said, sweatdropping at the memory.

My face paled at the thought. "Good thinking. He might just ogle at all the ladies."

We all shuddered at the thought. Minerva and Romeo dragged me on a tour around the whole place. I barely even had time to requip my suitcases before they took off.

"... and this is your office!" they proudly proclaimed.

"With a portal that leads to your other offices," Romeo added, pointing at the two portals.

"... Why so many offices? Do you all want me to do paperwork that bad?" I cried, sobbing anime-tears.

They awkwardly patted my back.

"Good luck."

"You brats," I scowled. They ran away screaming and laughing their heads off.

I shook my head. "Kids these days."
