Gail's POV ~ In the alley

I take a deep breath and rub my eyes, adjusting to the sunlight. I feel a breeze shift behind me, and before I can turn, I'm tackled to the ground by a pink-haired boy.

"GAIL, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN? WE CHECKED ALL THE TOWNS IN THE AREA, AND YOU WERE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND! WE EVEN WENT ABOVE CLOUD LEVEL SEARCHING FOR YOU!" Natsu screams at the top of his lungs, and shakes my shoulders. "EVERYONE THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE DEAD! WE EVEN HELD A FUCKING FUNERAL! WHAT. THE. HELL. GAIL!"

"Wait... You're telling me we were gone long enough for that to happen?" Brook asks, hands over her mouth. "Oh yeaaaaaah... Forgot about the timeskip..."

Natsu groans and pinches his nose. "You were gone for almost half a year... Honestly, where the hell were you guys? And who is he?!" Natsu points at Ben and narrows his eyes. "Are you their captor! ANSWER ME!"

Ben stares at Natsu in astonishment, then terror. He takes a step back and raises his hands.

"Hey, relax! Okay, we were in the town over, and things got a little complicated. I'm not... Not allowed to tell you why. If I told you, we'd all be in real danger." I say, jumping in front of Natsu.

Natsu softens his gaze and collapses on top of Gail. "So it was some secret mission, right? Is that it?"

"Super secret. OH MY GOD HOW IS FUCHSIA?!"

"She's alright. She's just kind of scared. And Sauria... Well... Her 'condition' has gotten worse. If we ever talk about her being a cat... She cries and tells everyone she's a dinosaur. Ever since Brook left, she's formed a group with Happy and Fuchsia. I guess they had fun together."

"Thank god. This is Ben." I gesture towards Ben, and he waves shyly. "Ben was in the same foster house as us as kids, and we met up with him on our mission. The reason we're so close, is he's gone through all the crap we have."

"He's a dragon slayer?!" Natsu yells and shakes Ben's shoulders. "SHOW ME!"

Ben all of a sudden looks really nervous. He glances over at me, and then Brook. I don't think he knows what kind of magic he has just yet... "Oh... Right. Sure."

Brook gets up, and leans on the brick wall beside her. "I have better magic. Check it out: Sacred Ice dragon's ROAR!" She winks at Ben, and mouths the word 'earth'. How she knows, we'll never know.

Ben gulps and stands up taller. "I bet my magic is better than yours though. Maybe more catastrophic." He winks and clenches his fists. "Earth dragon's ROAR!" Huge gusts of wind mixed with sand and rock shoot out of his mouth, and his eyes widen in shock.

"Hmm... I wonder how a rock tastes." Natsu says, rock in mouth.

"Don't be stupid!" I groan and smack him across the head. "Wait. Who's that?" I ask and look at the street.

There is a young man standing there, in a red and gold cloak. He has black hair, blue eyes, and a scar running around his eye. He seems to be looking for someone.

"No idea. But we should stay away from him. Anyway, the guild is going to be so surprised to see you! Brook, Gray has been so worried about you! He hangs out with Sauria all the time." Natsu winks at Brook and then smiles. "Let's get back to the guild. They'll be SHOCKED to see you! Oh. Also, we have a new recruit."

Brook's POV ~ Outside the guild's gate

Here we are again. Right outside these grand gates. But something sounds different. It's quiet, almost eerie. But I'm too excited to notice right away. I open the gates, and...

Gray is sitting in the corner on a bench, stroking Sauria.

Mira is washing the table distractedly. She looks up at the guild doors, kind of gloomily, but then gapes. "BROOK? GAIL? CLAIRE? NEW GUY? NANI?!" Mirajane spontaneously collapses and starts crying.

Gray looks up and his jaw drops. Sauria slaps Gray's hand away and activates her Aera. She flies at maximum speed toward me and crashes into my chest. "Brook! Where were you?" Sauria asks with tears in her eyes.

I notice Gail has Fuchsia in her arms too, most likely squeezing the life out of her.

Gray gets up from the bench, and slowly walks toward me, eyes slightly watering. "Oh, fuck you. You come right after we have the funeral. Now we need to remove the tombstone!"

I slap Gray and scream, "YA, NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN TOO!" I then start laughing and hug Gray tightly. "I missed you guys..."

Gray wraps his arms around me in a hug. "Okay, Brook. You have ten seconds to tell me where the hell you ran off to. And who this new guy is." Gray narrows his eyes at Ben, and when he thinks I'm not watching, he runs a finger across his throat.

"That's Ben. He's a childhood friend of ours." Claire mumbles, and pushes Gray and I apart. "Where's Loke, by the way?"

"Oh. He's flirting with our new recruit." Natsu says nonchalantly.

"HE WHAT? OH HELL NO! LOKE, GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!"

Loke walks in, startled, and freezes. "Oh. Claire. You're... back?" And he falls to the ground, unconscious.

Claire gets up and drags Loke to a table and starts yelling at him.

I guess they were a thing then... Wow. Funny how she didn't mention this to us. We were here for 4 days, and something as big as this happens.

Gail then takes a step back and frowns. "Wait. Can we meet the new recruit?"

"Oh, sure! She's over there, at the bar. She's a little weird, but she's ok." Natsu says and smiles.

Gail's POV ~ Walking over to the bar

While we're walking over to the bar, I immediately recognize the blonde hair and brown eyes combo. This was the day I've been dreading...

"Hey there! I heard you just joined Fairy Tail! Welcome!" I cry and sit down next to her. I pat her back a little too hard, and she cringes.

"Oh, no. You guys are the ones to be welcomed. The whole guild has been different since you disappeared, I hear. My name's Lucy by the way. Lucy Hear-" She stops in the middle of 'Heartfilia' and blushes.
