You gazed at your apartment. Everything had been dusted off. The floors had been cleaned, the walls too, and the ceiling had been dusted.

You noticed a picture lying face-down on the table. 'Hmm?'

When you flipped over the picture, your eyes widened when you saw Mavis in the picture- clinging onto you tightly while grinning.

'I remember...a guild member was going to take a picture for me. On the day that they sealed me away.'

You smiled a bit when you looked at your crying self. 'I knew Mavis was going to be dead when I awoke...'

You felt pricks at the back of your eyes. 'Crying? Now?' You blinked a few times, and the prickling sensation was gone.

'Cant let myself cry...'

You smiled, brilliantly. "Of all the people- Natsu Dragneel...was it?" You looked outside to where Natsu was standing, a few miles away.

"My eyesight must be getting bad." You sighed, and slipped on your shoes. "After fifty years or so...huh. So I can't see miles away anymore."

。。。

You jogged over to Fairy Tail. Unfortunately, you got lost along the way- seeing how Fiore had changed over the time.

'I can't say I know this place like the back of my hand anymore.'

"Ah. Old man." You grinned when you pushed the door open, gazing at the guild.

"(Y/N)?!"

Your eyes widened and at once, you felt your eyesight clouding over. Turning your head, a prickling sensation came to your cheeks.

"Mavis!"

Trying to hug her, and failing, you stared at her. "Mavis, you're a..."

"Ghost?" She supplied. "Yeah."

You frowned as you looked down at her. Her tiny frame was still the same, and she didn't look like she aged a bit.

"Do you like your room?" Mavis asked, tears clouding her own eyes. Wiping away your tears, you smiled down at her.

"Mavis."

"Thank you."

After reuniting with Mavis, Gray and Natsu had dragged you along with them as they went to their job.

Gently touching your pistol which was in your hand, you raised your head cheekily when you heard Gray.

"I heard you were good with a pistol."

"Oh, I'm better than good, honey." You weren't afraid to boast.

"Honey?" Natsu raised his eyebrow.

"Have you forgotten...just how old I am?" You threw your pistol in the air as you looked at him.

Without even glancing at it, it landed back in your palm.

"I'm almost sixty, love." You nodded.

Gray gulped. "You don't look a day over eighteen."

Chuckling, you continues to walk forward with your head held high. "Thank you."

Natsu hurriedly spoke up. "(Y/N), do you like summer?"

You cocked your head at his strange question, but continues walking. "Summer? I...I guess. Depends on how hot it is."

"We're here."

Peering over Gray's shoulder, you found yourself looking at a smoothie shop by a pool.

"This is..." You looked up at Gray. He seemed a bit embarrassed. "He needed help with his shop. I accepted. That's all."

"Heyyyy kids!" A man, wearing dark sunglasses strolled out. "Are you here to help me?"

"Yes, we're-"

You were cut off when he threw clothing your way. "Put this on."

Holding up the clothing, you paled. "I-I can't wear this!"

You heard a wolf whistle.

The man shrugged. "Then I can't pay you."

Glaring at him, you stomped off. "Fine."

A few moments later, you emerged from the room, your face red as you wore a red bikini, showing off a lot of your skin. "Pervert." You muttered.

"Good, now you can advertise."

You looked at Natsu, who was covering his face, his ears completely red. And Gray was spurting blood from his nose. "G-gray!" You exclaimed, rushing to his side.

"Are you okay, love?" Panicking, you touched his nose.

"And for the boys..." The man gave them swimsuits. "You can wear these and advertise." He left and went inside.

Turning your head away from the wolf whistles, you tried to cover yourself with your hands. Nearby, Gray and Natsu had been attracting tons of customers.

Mostly girls.

Gray gave you a smirk. "Winning," he mouthed. A few moments earlier, he and Natsu had bet that they would earn more customers than you.

Gritting your teeth, you stood up straighter. "On such a hot day...don't you want some smoothies? Some icy cold smoothies?" You called, cupping your hands around your mouth.

"Smoothies!"

___

"We win," Natsu and Gray said, grinning.

"Humph." You turned your head away from them. "Stupid boys."

They merely grinned in response.

Still in your swimsuit, which the man had insisted that you keep, you walked down the road, twirling your pistol in your hands.

"This is where I leave." You smiled.

"See you!" Gray waved. "You sure? I could walk you home." Natsu commented, a crease on his forehead. "I'm okay." You waved him off.

"Bye!"
