The Return of the Fairies

I spent the last four years in the Celestial World. I figured that I could train my celestial magic to the point where I could access their star dresses. Before you ask, it was painful. Let's be real here, I'm still in a 5-year-old body!

Right now, I'm being dragged around by none other than "the great Sting Eucliffe" and the most emo dragon slayer out there, Rogue Cheney.

"Ooh! That place looks so nice!" Sting exclaimed, leading us to an open field.

He immediately let go of me and ran around the field, chasing Lector. Frosch went stumbling after Lector, Rogue hot on his/her tail.

Honestly, even after being with them for years, I still don't know Frosch's gender! It drives me nuts.

I sat down on the ground with a pout, crossing my arms. I watched Sting and Rogue practice their roars in the open field as two shadows hide behind a rock to my right.

I sighed. "Are you going to come out?"

The dragon slayers turned to me.

"I thought you didn't notice," Sting said, smiling cockily.

"Of course I would notice, Stingy bee. I'm not dumb. I can smell them from a mile away," I scoffed.

"Blue Pegasus got Tenrou!" Romeo shouted, running towards us.

He jumped on the trespassers' heads before landing in front of me. He turned around to look at the unconscious people.

"Why are they sleeping here?"

Rogue and I sweatdropped as Sting readily agreed. Lector nodded in agreement as Frosch hopped into Rogue's arms.

"You said they're back?" I said, turning to Romeo.

"Yeah, I had Bisca and Alzack go with them," Romeo said.

The field grew quiet as the wind picked up. I chuckled as I got up onto my feet.

"I knew it was time," I said softly, looking at my transparent hand.

"What?" Romeo said, turning to me.

I hid my hand behind my back and shook my head. "Nothing."

A buzzing noise filled the silence as Romeo pulled out his lacrima.

"Mayday, Mayday! Twilight Ogre-- help--- attacking-- Fairy--- Saber help!" Minerva shouted.

"You're cutting out!" Romeo cried, shaking the lacrima.

"Twilight Ogre is attacking FairyTail and FairySaber," Rogue translated.

Our eyes grew wide. "We got to go. NOW."

The four of us took off running as fast as we could. How could we walk when our home was being destroyed?

"Romeo. Tell Minerva to hold on for one minute!" I shouted to him. Romeo nodded before trying to call her back.

"Sting, stay with Romeo in case if you get ambushed. Rogue and I will run ahead!"

"Oh, come on!" Sting complained before a fist came straight at his face.

Rogue and I picked up our pace and kicked open the doors to Fairy Saber and FairyTail. Everyone froze and turned to look at us.

"Put... the... weapons... down!" I shouted, panting.

"Sure thing, pretty babe," a Twilight Ogre member slurred, looking me up and down.

"After we destroy this shabby building!" he cackled.

I glared at him as anger filled me up.

"You will regret that," I whispered, a faint blue aura covering me. "Dragon Force."

"What the-"

Rogue and I jumped in, attacking Twilight Ogre Members left and right in both halls.

"Shadow Dragon's Roar!" he bellowed, knocking down a line of enemies.

"Dragon's Fury!" I screamed, releasing a ball of unstable magic.

"Oh come on!" Minerva cried, punching a guy in the face.

We kept this up for a few more minutes until a call from Romeo came up.

"We're on our way. Just minor injuries," he said smiling cheekily.

"Take your time," I sighed, looking around the room. "We only have to clean up the hall."

I collapsed onto my knees, Minerva to my left and Rogue to my right. She hissed as she touched her ribs.

"Broken rib?" I said, putting a glowing hand over her chest.

"Thanks," she groaned.

"I hope there's no more," Minerva said.

The door flew open to show Twilight Ogre's old guild master.

"Oh come on! You had to jinx it," I complained, forcing myself to my feet.

My legs folded back and I collapsed on the floor. Rogue and Minerva looked at me worried as he approached us.

"Look at you now, Fairy," he sneered. "You think you could take my Guild Hall?"

"Yeah, so go away!" I used the last of my magic to blast him back to the door... only for him to come flying back at us.

"Who threw him at me?"

"Shut up, flame brain!"

"Do I hear you arguing?"

"No, ma'am!"

"Aye, sir!"

"What happened here?"

"WE'RE BACK!..." Bisca and Alack cried, their voices trailing off at the scene in front of them.

I coughed, blood splattering all over the floor.

"Nice timing," I said, wiping my mouth.

"Sit down," Minerva hissed, yanking on my wrist.

"You're literally coughing blood," Rogue complained, siding with Minerva.

"I'll be fine," I insisted, limping over to the Tenrou group.

"Wait, you look like a tiny Lilith!" Natsu exclaimed.

"Then who's this?" Laxus said, walking in with my body draped over his shoulder.

I winced as I walked over to him. "Could you please put down my body gently?"

Laxus looked at me suspiciously but did as I said. I reached over but a sword blocked my way.

"Who are you? Why do you look like our Lilith?" Erza said, her face cold.

"I split my body in two," I explained, moving her sword away. "And if you don't let me get my body back, I'll be losing half my soul."

Erza stood there for a moment before moving away her sword hesitantly. I touched my forehead and drew a tiny star symbol. I closed my eyes as the wind picked up around me. When I opened up my eyes again, I was staring at the wooden ceiling. I lifted up my hand and clenched it.

"Guys! I just Romeo's message. How's it--" Jellal shouted, bursting in.

He skidded to a stop upon seeing me and Erza. He then looked around the Tenrou group.

"Are you big permanently this time?" was all he said, making the guild burst into laughter, then wince at their injuries.

"Yes, I am, Blueberry. Now you can move out," I said, rolling my eyes.

I turned to Wendy. "Could you help heal them?"

She nodded and ran off to help the guild members. I then turned to Lucy who had already summoned Gemini.

"Way ahead of you, Lili-nee!" she chirped as Gemini went around healing people as well.

"Wait. You and Jellal lived together?" Erza said, slightly trembling.

"Yeah. He didn't want me and my 5-year-old body living in a house by myself. Kianna was there too."

Upon hearing that Kianna was there as well, she sighed in relief. I inwardly smiled. Jerza.

"You fine?" Minerva asked, walking over to me. She stretched out her hand and I took it gratefully as she pulled me onto my feet.

"Thanks, Min," I said, dusting myself off.

I summoned a mirror and started fixing my hair while everyone around me sweatdropped. At least the outfit and the hair color transferred over as well.

Natsu looked at Minerva's waist and noticed her guild mark.

"What type of mark is that? She's not a Fairy!" he exclaimed, pointing at her.

The Tenrou team tensed up and got into fighting positions immediately.

"MinMin? She's a Saber! One of our closest allies," I said proudly, throwing my arm over her shoulder.

Minerva scowled at me playfully and pointed upstairs. "Paperwork."

I paled and looked at Jellal. "I finished mine. Those are yours."

He frantically turned to Macao, who had decided to slip out the hall in the commotion.

"B-but... it was his work," Jellal cried, burying his head in his hands.

"Romeo!" I shouted. A flash of purple came and appeared in front of me. He saluted with a grin on his face.

"Go get your father."

"Yes, Lili-nee!" he chirped, running for the door.

"Dad! Paperwork or Mt. Hakube via Lili-nee express!" he shouted.

A blur passed by us and the office door shut itself. Romeo peeked around the corner and gave us a thumbs up.

"A-all done!" Wendy said, sitting on her butt.

"Thank you, Wendy! You too, Gemini!" I thanked them both.

"Oh, right. I'm heading back to Sabertooth with Sting, Rogue, and Kai. We're going to participate in the GMGs. See you there?" she said hopefully.

I ruffled her hair. "Sure, MinMin."

She grinned and leaned in to whisper something to me. My face flushed up as she ran out cackling, dragging the dragon slayers with her.

"MINERVA ORLAND!" I shrieked.

"Can I drop off the money first?" Kai said, running up to the entrance.

I stared at him as he walked over to the counter, my eyes never leaving him. His platinum blonde hair was sticking to his neck as sweat dripped down his neck. As he turned around with the money in his hands, our eyes met. I felt my face flush up a bit as he walked over to me.

"Hey," he said softly. "You look... beautiful."

"Don't I always?" I teased, smiling at him. He gave a smile back, taking me by surprise.

Did I mention Kai's new nickname was Ice Prince? Brought to you by the citizens and fans of Fiore. He usually never smiles, which I thought was weird. He always smiles at me and it always makes my heart flutter.

"Of course. I'll see you at the GMGs," he said, ruffling my hair.

"Why is everyone ruffling my hair?" I complained, getting a chuckle from him.

He leaned in and kissed my forehead. He turned to the door where Minerva and Sting were standing with their mouths open. Rogue was looking away, a tint of pink on his face. "See ya, Princess!" he called.

"I told you not to call me that!" I shouted, watching them walk away. I reached up to my forehead and a smile crept onto my face.

"Who was he?" Mira said, popping up in front of me.

"What are the GMGs?" Gray asked.

"A boy I know from 7 years ago and the GMGs stand for Grand Magic Games. We've always tied with Sabertooth for first place," I said, answering both questions.

I grinned as I looked around the guild. "But this time... "

"We're beating them!" I roared.

The guild burst out in cheer as drinks and cake came out. Jellal and Romeo led the Tenrou team over to a table to bring them up to date about what happened in the last 7 years.

Macao walked over to Gramps and said something to him before walking away, dejected. I snickered as Jellal walked over to me.

"He tried talking his way out of paperwork," I giggled.

"Hey, Macao!" I called, motioning him over.

"Just make Gildarts the guild leader. If he refuses, just tell him that if he has the authority, he could put Laxus back in the Guild," I hinted.

"And put Gramps back in power. You are a genius, Lilith!" he exclaimed, running up to his office.

"I don't think I've ever seen him that happy to fill out paperwork," Jellal chuckled.

"Me neither," I sighed, my mind wandering back to Kai.

"Tell me. What's with you and that boy, hmm?" he asked, grinning.

My face flushed up before I asked him a similar question about him and Erza. It shut him up real good, making me burst out in laughter.

Kianna walked over, sliding drinks over us. I nodded gratefully before taking a sip of my cold smoothie.

After a while, Jellal and Erza went to go dance in the hall with the others as I sat there at the table alone.

I slumped over, my head pounding. Maybe taking a sip of Cana's alcohol was a bad idea...

"Stupid Kai, idiot Kai," I muttered, burying my face in my arms.

"What about me?" a voice from behind said.

"Kai's an idiot, stupid, and a dragon slayer," I mumbled, not recognizing the voice behind me.

"And?" the voice said.

"He's also pretty handsome, cute, and sexy. I'm happy that he smiles to me, but sometimes I wonder why he doesn't push away all those girls around him."

"So you're jealous," the voice mused, sitting next to me.

"Am not!" I said, sitting up, looking at the person.

All I could see was a faint blurry outline of the person. I squinted but nothing worked. I started swaying before falling back on the table.

"You're wrong. Kai's a jerk," I whimpered. "He doesn't even like me."

"No, he likes you a lot," the voice said, rubbing my back.

"How would you know? You're not Kai."

"Maybe," the voice said. "You should head to bed. You're drunk."

"Am not," I slurred.

"Yes, you are. Let's go."

I let the person carry me to my house. I didn't even question how he unlocked the door or why they knew my address, but it didn't matter to me.

They put me down gently on my bed. They planted a kiss on my forehead, a familiar warm feeling. They turned around to leave when I grabbed their hand.

"Wait," I whispered. "Don't tell Kai I think he's sexy or that I really like him."

"He'll probably reject me," I sniffed.

"No, he won't. I promise," the voice whispered, their lips gently brushing over mine.

As they left, the warm feeling did as well. I shivered and pulled up the blankets sleepily.

"Stupid Kai. Too stupid to know that I like you."

That was the last thing I said before drifting off.

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

???'s P.O.V.

"Stupid Kai. Too stupid to know that I like you."

I froze before closing her bedroom door gently. I leaned against the wall and slumped down.

"I'm stupid? You're the one that can't see my feelings for you," I smiled sadly.

I touched my lips, the feeling still lingering. Footsteps came down the hall and stopped in front of me.

"Kai?"

I looked up, my bangs covered my left eye. "Oh, hey Jellal."

"I'm leaving soon. Don't worry," I said, getting back up onto my feet.

I turned around and walked to the door. I had put one foot outside when Jellal said something.

"Lilith might be an idiot when it comes to feelings but... she really likes you. Don't hurt her."

"I would never," I said firmly, walking out the door.

I looked up at her bedroom window once more before walking back down to FairySaber's Hall.

"So, any fun time?" my obnoxious brother asked, jumping out of the tree.

"She was drunk," I said with a blank face.

"Oh, come on. Smile," he said, pulling up the edges of my cheeks.

I swatted his hands and scowled. He took a step back.

"No wonder you're called the Ice Prince. So cold," he said, shivering.

"At least I have a Princess that wants me," I walked past him.

"Wait what?"
