'The second day of the training camp: 3 months before the Grand Magic Games.'

"Wow! I'm feeling so good!" Natsu grinned as he was sweating.

"As long as we take the training seriously-" Gray started as he stretched.

"We can upgrade our magic power so fast in two days." Wendy finished.

"Then 3 months is quite enough for us to catch up with this world." Erza huffed.

"Sure." Levy said.

Laughing manically, Natsu yelled, "The other Guilds' jerks, open your eyes! I'll show you our overwhelming power after 3-month training!"

However, he needed to worry about Sora. "Naaatttsssuuu!" She marched over to him with anger on her whole being. Grabbing his ear, she made him bend down to her level. "I thought I won the bet!"

"Y-you did! W-what's wrong?"

"All you did was move stuff around! How is that cleaning?!"

"Y-you didn't say h-how you wanted it..."

"N-now Sora, you should calm down." Lucy said.

"Calm down?! Calm down?! I would be calm if this idiot wasn't such a terrible cleaner!" After a few minutes, Sora calmed down as Erza held her back while Natsu was cowering behind Lucy, who sweat dropped.

Sitting down, Lucy sat beside Happy. "Man, that was tough." She shook her head. "I was worried about the time, and doubted if 3 months is too short. Now seeing us going so effectively like this, I would say 'Oh, we still have 3 months'."

"Yes."

Sitting down beside them, Sora said, "But still, we should work hard even if we have 3 months left."

"Yeah."

Before they could react, Virgo appeared. "Princess! Emergency!" But it was under where Lucy sat, making her sitting on top of her.

Blushing, Lucy was trying to make sure she didn't fall. "Why are you here!"

"I'm ready for the punishment."

"Virgo." Happy said.

"The Maid Spirit." Carla said.

"Seems to me you're already being punished..." Sora sweat dropped.

"Lucy has been in the Fairy Sphere for 7 years...which means that all the Celestial Spirits who made contracts with her were staying in the Celestial Realm." Gray crossed his arms over his chest as Lucy finally fell off, making her stand with Jet and Droy.

"Oh poor Spirits! Because of Lucy's fault..." Juvia said.

Virgo looked down. "No...that's not a big problem for us."

"What happened?" Levy asked.

"The Celestial Realm is in a crisis of extermination. Please...please help us." Virgo bowed.

Hearing this, everyone either was too silent from the shock of this information or they asked, hesitantly, what's wrong. "The King of the Celestial Realm is waiting for you. I'm here to pick you up."

"Sure! Let's go help them! We are friends-" Natsu said.

"Wait!" Lucy's fists were in front of her. "We humans cannot go to the Celestial Realm, can we?"

"You can enter the Celestial Realm in the Celestial Clothes." After making a magic circle to teleport them, which included everyone but Jet and Droy. "Ready to go?"

"Hey...I'm not ready yet..." Before she could say anymore, they teleported, making them yell.

After they left, Jet and Droy blinked.

"Why are we..."

"Left here?..."

Meanwhile~~~~~~~

As they finally made it into the Realm, they were piled upon each other. (A/N: Think of Tsum Tsum when they're piled on each other.) Getting up, everyone looked at it. It amazed them.

"This is the Celestial Realm?!" Lucy said.

"Wow!" Wendy said.

"So amazing...!"

Appearing, the Celestial King greeted them. "Thanks for coming, my old friends."

"You are..." Lucy said.

"Big Guy!" Natsu said.

"Long mustache!/Mustache Man!" Happy and Sora said.

"King of the Celestial Realm!" Lucy finished.

"So you are the King of this world." Erza said.

'Why so calm?!' Wendy and Levy said.

Celestial King crossed his arms over his chest. "Exactly."

"I've heard that the Celestial Realm is in serious crisis..." Lucy stepped forward.

"And we came to help!" Sora stood beside her.

However, the King smiled and chuckled. Before they could react, the spirits all appeared. "Lucy, you and your friends, welcome back from that time skip! Let's party!"

"...Eh?"

Lucy turned towards Virgo. "The crisis of extermination?" Virgo simply laughed as she tilted her head. "You kidding me!"

Taurus laughed. "Sorry to trick you!"

"It's a surprise for you." Cancer said.

"We wanted to celebrate your return, and this is our plan." Capri said.

"We'd like to celebrate with you all, but we're not able to go the human realm all at once!" Lyra said.

"Then we decided to bring you here with us. Sorry." Aries smiled.

"We won't do it again." Scorpio said.

Aquarius clung onto Scorpio's arm. "Yes! It's a special case."

"Yeah, yeah!" Gemini said.

"Alright. Now I got your point!" Natsu said as he and Gray were in Sagittarius' arms.

"Wow, wow!" Sagittarius said.

"I was really shocked by your 'crisis thing'!" Gray said as all three of them grinned.

Leo opened his arms towards Lucy and Sora. "Long time, no see! Come on, just run into my arms, Lucy! Sora!"

Lucy backed away, blushing. "...You wish."

"No way!"

"Come on! Let's have a big party tonight!" King started dancing with fans. "Everybody drinks, dances! Enjoy good time with old friends!"

As everyone partied, Sora looked down at what she was dressed in.

"Hmm...not bad..." She twirled around.

With Gray and Leo, they fist-bumped.

"How've you been?" Gray asked.

"I'm sorry for that test."

With Wendy and Horologium, Wendy said, "Thank you very much for your help the other day!"

"Oh. You are welcome!"

"But...I was so ashamed to take off my clothes then..." Wendy held her blushing cheeks.

"Uh...that was..." Turns out, Lucy was behind Horologium.

"He said, 'I'm really sorry for that'."

At a table, Aquarius came up to Juvia. "So you are the girl who once shared a body with Lucy."

"Shared a body!" Juvia blushed.

"You got a boyfriend?"

Juvia looked down. "No...."

"Ah. What a pity of you. Do you want to be like Lucy?"

Lucy's face became void of emotion. "What do you mean?"

With Crux and Levy, Levy looked up towards the sky. "Wow~ So wonderful! There're so many books that I've never seen before!"

"Well! You can take one as a gift..."

Turning towards him, she had sparkles in her eyes. "Really?!" However, he slept. "Fell asleep!"

Lucy smiled. "Don't worry! He's thinking."

With Happy and Carla, Plue came over to them. "Puun." He held out his trembling hand.

"Plue!" Happy said.

"This little fellow is also a Celestial Spirit." Carla said. Before they could react, many Nicolas appeared.

"Wow! So many Nicolas!" Happy said as Carla yelled.

"We have lots of Nicolas here." Gemini said.

With Erza and Taurus, he was looking at her chest.

"Erza~ Moo. Your boobs are always so beautiful..."

"Are they?"

"Can you open your arms to let me in?"

"Why?"

Sora came up next to her. "Moo. Sora, I can't get enough of seeing that body of yours."

Sora had chills running through her spine. "I-is that so?" She held her arms close to her chest.

However, Levy and Wendy turned their backs to Taurus.

"I don't like that spirit..." Levy looked down.

"Me neither." Wendy put her hands on her chest.

"Would you mind-" However, Natsu stepped in front of Sora. Shielding her from him, he punched him in his face.

"Don't touch her!" Turning to Sora, he smiled. "Sora, let's go eat!"

"Okay!"

As they ate, Cancer and Aries stood next to the table full of food.

"This is the Crab Pescatora with Stardust Butter." Cancer said.

"And this one is the Lamb Steak with-"

Natsu and Sora spit out the food. "I'm so sorry!"

With Gray, he looked around. "The Celestial Realm is so amazing!"

"I was also surprised by this brilliant world." As many Nicolas were around her, she said, "Which one is my Plue?"

As they sat, the King sat beside them. "Certainly you should. We have plenty of friends, but you are the first guest we've invited here."

As Lucy smiled and looked up to him, Gray smiled and patted her head. "You know you mean a lot to us."

Juvia crawled to them. "Hey! What are you doing?!"

However, Lyra started playing with her harp, singing. "My old friends, I can see you. You are right there. My old friends, I swear I will never...make you cry. Let's make our way through the broad wild land, into the future...with tears. I'll shine like a star just for you. I'll have the sweetest smile just to sing a song for you."

As lyra kept singing, Lucy remembered her childhood. Crying, she smiled. "Thank you, everyone...I love you all..." The King told her to smile.

With Sora, she ate carefully; she didn't want to eat any of it, but was too tempted. However, Leo held out his hand to her, bowing.

"May I have this dance?"

"Huh?" Looking around, she pointed to herself. "Are you sure? I can't dance."

"I'm sure. Just follow my lead."

Taking his hand, she followed him but stepped on his feet a few times. "Sorry!" She blushed every time.

"It's okay." As they danced, Sora kept her eyes on the ground so she wouldn't step on his feet. Watching her, Leo smiled. "Sora, look at me." As she replied with silence, he cupped her chin with his hand and forced her to look at him. Smiling flirtatiously, he slowly brought his lips towards her. However, Natsu stood behind her, growling. Sweating, he tried to kiss her but she turned around.

"Natsu!" Running towards him, she walked away and talked to him.

'Dang it! I was this close!' As he watched them leave, Natsu looked back and glared. 'Curse you, Natsu!'

Time skip~~~~~~

Standing at the entrance, they all smiled.

"Um...We had a really good time." Erza said.

"I've had the best food in the world!" Gray smiled and hit his stomach.

"Did you eat them?! You really ate them!" Natsu cried as Sora patted his back.

With Levy, Crux gave her a book. "Is this for me?"

"I-I like the clothes..." Wendy twirled.

Happy was having trouble getting a Nicolas off of him. "A Plue is clinging to me..."

Sora picked them up, and started to pry them apart. "Come...on...!" As she did this, she finally got them apart, but started to fall backwards. As she yelled, Leo held her in his arms. Looking up, she grinned with her eyes closed. "Thanks!"

"Anytime." Setting her on the ground, she left him to talk to Happy. 'If only...' He missed the feeling of her in his arms; she fit just right, to him.

While Carla watched Aquarius and Juvia getting along, she said, "They seem to become good friends."

After a few minutes, the King said, "My old friends, we are always by your side."

"Yes!" Lucy smiled.

"We'll be your excellent partners!" Scorpio said.

"Call us anytime." Capri said.

"I'll go to the Guild to see you." Leo said. But inside his mind, he was picturing Sora.

"Everybody, please take care of Lucy!" Aries said.

"We will!" Sora waved as her friends smiled.

"Great!" The King started to move his cape. "All the stars will bless you on your way, my dear friends!" Every spirit disappeared.

Erza turned towards Lucy, smiling. "You are truly loved by all of them."

Lucy moved some of her hair out of her face. "They are all my precious friends."

"Okay! We've enjoyed such a good time, let's go back to continue training!" Natsu started walking forward.

"Sure! We must be strong enough to beat other Guilds in 3 months!" Gray said.

Virgo appeared. "By the way, there's one thing that I forgot to tell you." This confused everyone. "Time goes at a different pace in the Celestial Realm."

"Do you mean-" Sora started. She had a bad feeling in her stomach.

"That 1 year here equals 1 day in the Human Realm...?" Natsu said.

"Then it's a dream zone for training?!" Gray said.

When they returned to the Human Realm, they repeated what they heard from Virgo. "Actually, it's the opposite; 1 day in the Celestial Realm equals 3 months in the human world."

"Eh?" They all looked down. Jet and Droy smiled at them.

"Hey, you all! We've been waiting for so long!"

"The Grand Magic Games will be held in 5 days. You must have been training very hard!" However, the reaction they waited for wasn't what they thought they would get.

Erza, Natsu, Sora, and Gray collapsed on the sand, Wendy cried, and Lucy cursed at the King, saying, "Give us back our time!"
