"Amazing!" Happy exclaimed, looking around the world in awe. "I almost forgot how pretty the celestial world could be."

"Me too," Natsu added.

"Thank you so much, Natsu. You too, Happy," Lucy said, looking down at Natsu as his head rested on her lap.

"No problem. Right back at ya," Natsu responded with a grin.

"I do what I can," Lucy said, obviously happy for the praise. Then, she asked, "But, hey, how reckless can you get?"

"I'm just glad to see everyone safe," Erza said, one hand on her waist. 

Lucy nodded in agreement, and Natsu sat up with a pained grunt.

"I haven't felt this bad since the last time I rode a train," he said, a hand on the back of his head.

"You leapt into an eclipse spirit's stomach acid, what the hell'd you expect?" Gajeel asked.

"Just had to hog all the fun, didn't ya?" Gray said, arms crossed.

Natsu frowned. "Some of us were trapped in the stars, and-" 

"And now we're back!" Juvia exclaimed, running towards the group with everyone behind her.

"Thanks to you," Wendy said gratefully.

"Yes, thanks. I wouldn't have lasted much longer," Carla (Charle) said, flying.

"Did you miss Juvia, Gray-sama?" Juvia asked, smiling wide.

"Strange," Pantherlily (I'll just call him 'Lily' in the future) commented. "I found life as a constellation surprisingly pleasant."

"Juvia liked it too!" Juvia said, clinging onto Gray's arm. "But Juvia couldn't live in the stars without Gray-sama, so come with her!"

Gray grinned. "A real fighter doesn't twinkle." 

"Hey, Carla!" Happy exclaimed. "You should've seen me and Natsu beating down that spirit beast, it was super tough but I did it for you!"

Carla looked away from Happy, obviously not phased by his bravado. "So... Has anyone seen the celestial spirits?"

"Oh, yeah," Natsu commented. "They've gotta be somewhere around here."

"They would be," said Arcadios. "So long as we were swift enough to save them."

"But if every human was returned to normal, then why wouldn't that be true for spirits?" Hisui looked up. "Are you seeing this?"

"Yes," the guy with the weird nose, Arcadios, responded.

"So this is it," Yukino breathed. "The real Celestial Spirit world." She looked around in wonder. "It's just so beautiful."

Suddenly, some Nikoras* were spotted coming out of hiding.

"Hey, look at that!"

"Look, there they are!"

Lucy put her hands over her mouth in shock as all the spirits stood in front of her.

"Pisces! Libra! You're all back to normal. I wasn't sure I'd ever get to see you like this again." 

"Virgo!" Lucy exclaimed, running up to the pink-haired celestial spirit. "I'm so glad you're okay! I missed you!"

Virgo stared at Lucy blankly. "Well, thank you, but I must admit that your tears complex me. Did I miss something, Princess? Sorry."
