Chapter Two - Elle, Part Two

The first thing I did was read through all of the books on the table.

Well, actually, the first thing I did was explore the house, which was a nice, one story cottage. There was the master bedroom and a guest bedroom, both of decent size. The bathroom held a large bath with a showerhead above it, with a window to let out some steam.

I stopped exploring there and carefully considered my reflection. My hair (which had previously been an extremely dark brown color) was now a dark purple. My eyes (which had previously been a light blue) were now the color of ice.

They weren't big changes, but they were still changes.

I shook my worries away, accepted that I would get used to it, and continued exploring.

The kitchen led off to the kitchen table (where the books were) which sat in front of a pair of large sliding doors leading outside. To the right of the kitchen was a living room, with chairs and a sofa. There was also a door leading to a study, which I loved. There were floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, all filled with more information; everything from different types of magic, to the history of Fiore, to the laws and monetary system. One of the walls didn't have a bookcase, but instead a map of the country of Fiore, with Alvarez peeking through on the outskirts. At the other end of the study was a window, and under that, a desk.

When I was done exploring the house, I returned to the kitchen table, which was stacked with different types of books on the magic I wanted to learn specifically. I organized them based on the magic type, and separated any sort of intro to magic that I might need.

The most important ones I had to learn first were location magic, and then teleportation magic.

The location magic focused on how to find people, and how to find items. I wouldn't need the items for now, but people were first on the list.

At this point in time, I was nine. Most of the main characters in Fairy Tail were four going on five, or somewhere in that range. The dragon slayers (raised by actual dragons) weren't even in this time period. They wouldn't be until July 7th, X777, which was over five years from now. So I really couldn't do anything for them right now.

Carefully, I wrote out a timeline of upcoming events, which exhausted me. Most of it was guesswork, too. Man, would I love to have some internet. Or more specifically, the Fairy Tail Wikia.

So first things first; practicing magic.

I started with mediating, according to A Beginner's Guide to Learning Magic. Or, as I like to call it, A Perfectly Reasonable Guide to Learning Magic Unless You're A Fucking Idiot Like Elle.

I stopped and glared at the book. Meditating was getting me nowhere. I couldn't mediate. My mind just wouldn't shut down.

Okay, Elle, calm down, you can do this. I reassured myself.

Fifteen minutes later I was getting angry again.

"Ahhhhhh!" I screamed again. I jumped up and started pacing. "Why isn't this working! This is fucking ridiculous! Why can't I-"

I stopped. There was energy coursing through me, I could feel it as I lived and breathed. I suddenly remembered a moment in Fairy Tail Zero, when Zeref taught the group magic. And when that happened, the normal way didn't work for Yuri, he learned by…exercising…

"Whooooohooooo!" I screamed, jumping into the air. "Now we're talking! Time to get this party started!"

I started running laps around my cottage. This was perfect. No, it was more than perfect! Not only was I increasing my magical capacity, but I was also increasing my physical stamina!

Except I forgot that I was never very good at exercising in the first place and that I was also only nine years old.

I had only ran two laps before I ran out of energy and collapsed on the ground, panting.

"Fuck," I breathed. But it was still a good start. Now that I could actively feel my magic, I might actually be able to meditate the normal way, so this was a good thing.

I waited for my (physical) energy to come back, and entered the house so I could get something to eat.

"Fuck!"

I stared at the empty pantry.

I was an idiot. Food should've been the first thing I checked. All my exploring the house, I didn't even open the pantry or the fridge. Now I need to go into town, buy food, and carry it all back here.

I stumbled over to the sink and drank some water from the tap. Unfortunately, I didn't have any cups either, so I had to scoop it up in my hands.

I walked back to the table and grabbed the paper and pen that was there. At least I had that.

Slowly, I began to make a shopping list.

It was pretty basic.

Kitchen shit

Bathroom shit

Office shit

Gardening shit

Cleaning shit

Food

There, I thought.

As for basic kitchen utensils, since I'm living on my own for now and not making any money, don't know how much any of this costs, and don't know how much money I even have, I decided to go as sparingly as possible, only getting one for me and a spare in case I lose one. I could just wash everything by hand, so there was no need for other things.

I had all the furniture I needed (for now) and the electricity and plumping was taken care of (something I needed to understand quickly in case it becomes untaken care of).

Now, as for the money.

I peeked back into my study, where I was hoping there was a safe or something that I had missed the first time around.

Entering the room, I went to my desk.

There was a sticky note that said Under the desk.

I sighed and pushed the chair out of the way so I could crawl under the desk (which I could easily fit under because of my size).

Below it was a safe with a key, which was good because a dragon slayer could probably break in if it was a combination lock. The key was on top of the safe, along with a book and a wallet.

I grabbed the key, book, and wallet, and climbed out from under the desk. Inspecting the book, which was called The Monetary System of Fiore, I saw another sticky note on it that said, 1,000 J equals appr. $20. The amount in this wallet should cover your first shopping trip. The rest is in the safe.

1,000 J was $20? Actually, that makes sense, considering how much Lucy had to pay for a meal and her apartment.

I put the book down on the desk, and pocketed the key and wallet, which contained 50,000 J. I really, really hope that that is overestimating and that the inflation here isn't so bad that it would really cost me $1,000 to go shopping.

I made my way down what seemed to be a trail (well, I really hope it was, but I can get lost really easily), and luckily found myself off the edge of Magnolia.

I entered the town and immediately noticed the guild. I stared at it longingly until I shook my head. No Elle, come on, you need to get ready first. Once you've got everything you need, then you can go to the guild. I turned around, and started looking for a supermarket.

After about ten minutes of searching, I finally gave up and accepted what I didn't want to be true – there were no supermarkets in Magnolia, and possibly not any at all in Fiore.

As I made my way to the Market District, which was easily found after asking directions, I desperately looked for some kind of cart or wagon I could use to carry all of my bought goods, because I didn't want to carry everything back.

I luckily found a furniture shop, where I went in and asked for a cart. I got some weird looks, probably because of my age, but I walked out of there with a large cart for 4,000 J. I've never bought a cart before, so I have no idea whether or not I got a good deal.

I continued down the street where I found an office supply shop, a gardening shop (where I bought tools and seeds for my own vegetable garden), a bathroom shop, and a kitchen shop.

I sighed. All of these little shops were making me tired, and I decided that when I had finished most of my plans that I was going to find someone who would make supermarkets a thing.

I had gotten everything I needed except for food. I started with bread from the bakery, and some meat and cheese from a deli. Afterwards, I went to a farmer's market, where I bought a series of fruits and vegetables that I actually like (as I'm really picky).

Finally finished, I checked how much money I had left and realized that the rest was probably for me to get some clothes.

I eyed the clothes shop before shaking my head. Nope. I could get that another time.

Passing a spices and herbs stand, I got a bottle of salt (already in a shaker, luckily) and made my way back to the forest where I lived.

Sighing, I finally entered my home again and breathed a sigh of relief. I filled one of the cups from the tap and greedily drank down the water.

Sighing (in content, this time) I put down the cup and started unpacking my items. I filled the fridge and the pantry, and put my office supplies in the office/library and the bathroom things in the bathroom. I moved my cart over to an extra space near the entrance of the house, and put the gardening supplies on the shelf above the cart. I guess it was like a mudroom?

I went back outside and decided to try meditating again. Sitting down, I closed my eyes, and, instead of trying to focus on nothing, focused on the magic I felt spinning through my body. I tried to manipulate it, but it was like grabbing water.

Taking a deep breath, I decided to start pushing it. This was (supposedly) the way to increase your magical container. My body was like a bubble, and I needed to stretch it out.

I pushed my magic harder and harder, until I could see a glowing behind my eyes. Opening them, I looked down at my body, which was shining with magical energy, the same color as my hair, a dark purple, almost black color.

I smiled and pushed with all of my might. My pure magical energy shot towards the sky, and I shouted in joy.

Step 1, complete.

I continued pushing my magic until I felt it nearly all disappear. I knew I had to stop before I hit Magical Exhaustion, so I stopped pushing. The loss of the energy and adrenaline running through me nearly made me collapse, and I decided to rest there for a bit, staring at the sky and enjoying the sounds of nature.

As I felt both my energy and my magic start to replenish, I made my way back inside the house, where I showered and changed into a nice dress. While there were a few clothes in my closet, they were nearly all dresses, and my dresser was completely empty except for undergarments. I would have to buy shorts, which I did prefer, as well as tennis shoes, because the only shoes I had were sandals.

After changing, I made me way outside and decided to try teleporting. I pictured the other side of my house and concentrated, almost picturing the space in between where I was and where it was fold, and then ghosting through that to the other side.

I opened my eyes.

Nothing happened.

"Dammit!"

I knew it wouldn't come that easily, but I was hoping it was a bit easier.

Alright Elle, try again.

I closed my eyes and pictured the front of my house. Instead of picturing myself pass through space to that point, I instead pictured myself appearing in the image I had of the front of my house.

I felt my magic rush through me, from the tips of my toes to the top of my head, and when I opened my eyes, I was standing in the front of my house.

I was elated that I did it, but completely exhausted. Despite the short distance, I still felt a large drain in my magic, and decided to get a lot of sleep. Tomorrow I would meditate in the morning, and then I would talk to Makarov.

Ripples, Chapter Five - Laxus, Part One

Title: Ripples

Hey everybody. One review, Leyan, pointed out that bringing in people will change their personalities. Yes, to an extent. Nature vs Nurture is about a 50/50 split when it comes to personality, but you will see people act a bit differently.

Also I couldn't find a picture of Laxus at the right age, so just pretend he's four or five years older with a scar over his eye.

Chapter Five - Laxus, Part One

I sighed as I entered the guild.

Now that I had the basics of my other magics down, I turned to my planetary magic. I was able to manipulate the elements to a certain point, but I couldn't create them, and I definitely couldn't cast any spells with them. Most of the spells were pretty powerful, too.

"You are weak!"

I stopped in my tracks as I heard a voice.

"You are a failure, you weak little shit! I'm disappointed in you. How can my son be so weak? And after all I did for you!"

I followed the voice, sneaking along as I did so. Peeking into the training room, I saw something I didn't want to see.

Ivan Dreyar stood over his son, who he was yelling at angrily. While he didn't raise a hand to his son, I could easily see what it was; abuse. Verbal abuse was still abuse, and Ivan was a piece of shit.

"You should have never been born!" Ivan yelled as he stalked away. I hid as he neared the exit to the room, and then waitied for him to completely disappear before entering.

"Are you alright?" I asked quietly.

Laxus, who had faced the other wall to hide his tears, wiped angrily at his face. "I'm fine."

"You're not fine," I said. "Was that your father?"

He paused, still without looking at me. "Yeah."

"Well, your Pa's an idiot," I told him plainly.

At that, he spun around, and looked me in the eyes. "What?"

"You're only a kid," I said. "What, did he expect you to be one of the Ten Wizard Saints?"

He frowned. "Don't talk about my dad like that! He helped make me strong!"

That confirmed it. I had thought so, but I wasn't sure. I originally thought he didn't get the lacrima implanted until later, but he had a fresh lightning scar over his eye.

"He was yelling at you!" I said.

"He was encouraging me! He'll help get me stronger!"

"You're already pretty strong, you just need to train, stupid!"

"Don't call me stupid!" he shouted.

"Then don't be stupid!"

"I'm not being stupid!" he yelled back.

"Yes, you are!" I yelled. "He's abusing you!"

"No he's not!" Laxus yelled.

"There's more than one type of abuse, idiot. Yelling at you like that counts as abuse. Plus, you're plenty strong already, so it shouldn't even matter!"

He quieted down after that. "Really?"

I sighed. I knew I wasn't going to get anywhere with this argument for now. "Yeah, I could feel you outside the room. You just got to practice."

We were quiet for a bit. I noticed his eyes were a bit like mine, except they were the color of storm clouds, while mine still looked like moonlight.

"My name is Elle," I said, holding out my hand.

"I'm Laxus," he said, quietly taking it.

"Do you want to be friends?" I asked.

"I don't have any friends," he said quietly.

"Well then that means I get to be your first!" I said happily.

"But we were fighting," Laxus said.

I snorted. "So? Friends can still fight. Anyway, you're my friend now. So let's train together!"

A smile spread across Laxus's face. "Okay!" Laxus plopped down on the ground and started meditating. I smiled at him and sat down next to him, before closing my eyes.

At some point later, I was brought out of my meditative state by yelling. "You think that simply meditating will help you? You little weakling! You're a disappointment."

"Hey!" I yelled at Ivan. "Meditating is how you get stronger, only idiots don't know that. And you shouldn't yell at your son, dickwad!"

He looked at me, growing enraged, and I suddenly remembered that I was a tiny nine year old without much magical power. He threw a punch my way.

"Dad, don't!" Laxus shouted.

As the fist neared me, I quickly activated my teleportation magic, and phased out of the way.

Laxus looked kind of impressed, while Ivan only grew angrier. He activated his magic too.

"Dad, stop it!" Laxus shouted.

Ivan's weird paper doll things (seriously, what the fuck were they?) came flying towards me. I phased out of the way again, but the dolls just turned around and came after me again.

"Dad, I said STOP IT!" Laxus shouted. His magic activated and he gave Ivan a huge jolt.

Ivan's magic stopped in surprise, but not before one of the dolls sliced past my cheek.

I felt a sharp pain follow it, and then I felt warm blood start to spill out of the cut.

Ivan stared at his son murderously.

I quickly did the only thing I could think of.

I phased next to Laxus, grabbed his hand, and then phased directly into Makarov's office.

Makarov looked up from his work as Laxus and I phased in front of him. Once I had finished, I let go of Laxus's hand and nearly collapsed on the ground. Laxus, tiny eleven year old that he was, still managed to catch me, even though I nearly brought him down on the ground too.

Makarov stood up, unto the desk. "What happened?" he asked seriously.

"Elle?" Laxus asked as he led me to the couch. "Are you alright?"

"Just tired," I said, panting. "I've never teleported with another person before, and I teleported three times before that, too. They were relatively short distances, but still."

"Elle," Makarov's voice brought our attention back to him. "What happened?"

I looked at him, and tried to signal with my eyes that this had something to do with the future.

"Laxus, leave us please," Makarov said.

"Master, I would actually like Laxus here," I spoke up.

"You would trust him on this?" he asked.

I nodded.

"Very well," Makarov said. "Now, if you could please-"

"Oh, right. Master…what are you going to do about Ivan?"

He looked at me sadly, and sighed. "I suppose since you're asking, I do something in the future?"

"Yes," I said. "But I'm not exactly sure when it happens."

"Alright," he said. "And you would like me too…?"

"Move your actions up," I said. "And go through them sooner."

"What are you talking about?" Laxus asked.

I didn't want to tell too many people, but I wanted Laxus to know. Since he was the only other kid here around my age, plus he was pretty strong, I was thinking of bringing him with me on certain quests I had to do. If he can trust my judgement on some things, that will make it easier.

"Laxus, I know the future," I said, turning to him. "And I'm here to help change it."

He stared at me in shock. "Really?"

I nodded. "Yes. For instance, when you said that your father helped you get stronger, you really meant that he implanted a dragon slayer lacrima in you."

"WHAT?" Makarov boomed, standing up and radiating magical energy. "ELLE, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"

"She's right," Laxus said quietly, looking at me in shock and amazement. "Dad told me not to tell anyone."

Makarov calmed down. "I've been thinking about excommunicating him from the guild, but I didn't know what I would use to back up my decision."

"You have three reasons, actually," I told him. "One, he's verbally abusing Laxus." Laxus tried to protest that but I shut him up with a glare. "Two, he physically abused Laxus by placing the lacrima in him."

Laxus couldn't keep quiet anymore. "He did it to save my life, Elle! Look, I know you have something against him, and it probably has to do with future things, but he's still my father!"

"I know that!" I shouted back. "But he still hurt you Laxus! Do you have any proof that what he did saved your life?"

He quieted after that.

"And third," I continued, turning back to Makarov, "he attacked me. Granted I called him a dickwad, first, but who the hell attacks a kid, even if they call you that. And when I teleported away from his punch he sent his weirdo paper doll things at me." I pointed at my cheek. "That's how I got this. It probably would have been worse, if Laxus hadn't shocked him. Then I was scared of what he was gonna do to us so I grabbed Laxus and got out of there."

Makarov sat down on his desk. "I see."

"So what now?" Laxus asked.

"Now, I shall excommunicate Ivan. For the safety of the guild." He looked towards me. "You are not the first guild mate he has attacked out of anger, Elle, but you are certainly the youngest."

"No, you can't do that!" Laxus shouted. "Give him another chance, Jiji! Please, he's my dad! He's your son!"

"No, he isn't!" I yelled. "Laxus, he's not your family. Family doesn't abuse each other, or bully them. I know you say it's not abuse, but I know that those words hurt you when he says them! You want his praise, you want his love, but you're not going to get it, because it's not in his nature! All Ivan has ever done is hurt you! And that means he is not nakama!"

Laxus froze at that, and I was suddenly reminded just how young he was, even though I thought that I had known. "Laxus, I know it hurts to hear, but it's the truth. Stop thinking about him! He's not your family, but we are. Fairy Tail is your family, Laxus. Your father may not love you but we do."

And then I held out my arms to hug him and he collapsed in them, crying, and I could only hope that by him accepting us as family that it would stop him from ever even considering what he did at Fantasia.

Ripples, Chapter Four - Juvia

Title: Ripples

Fandom: Fairy Tail

Rated: M for Violence and Swearing

Other Sites: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12477008/4/Ripples,

https://archiveofourown.org/works/10831923/chapters/24141621#workskin,

https://www.quotev.com/story/9590597/Ripples/4

https://www.wattpad.com/416541359-ripples-a-fairy-tail-fanfiction-chapter-four-juvia

I currently have up to 109 Chapters posted on any of the above sites; I am currently moving the story over to this one (just in case you don’t want to wait for me to post each chapter).

Chapter Four - Juvia

The next month went by slowly. I had a simple morning routine, in which I would get up, eat, and then go running. The running improved my stamina and my magical energy was starting to expand again as I concentrated on only my movements and my magic.

In addition to that, I read through the entirety of my books on teleportation and location magic, and a bit of requip.

I could maybe (at most) requip something the size of a large wardrobe at my current power level, but hopefully I would be able to get it much larger soon with more practice. In it I carried a bag of toiletries, a first aid kit, emergency money, a spare change of clothes, and some dry food in case it was needed.

The location magic was a bit tricky, but I was able to get it down.

I started by focusing on what I knew. I would use this to help Lucy find keys, and other sorts of magical items if anyone else wanted them. I would also use it to help find people (or more specifically, guild members).

I tested it by looking for Aquarius's key, which was, luckily, in the Heartfilia Konzern.

I tried again with Cancer, and got the same result.

Using the large map covering the wall in my study, I would imbue my thoughts and magic into a thumb tack and then throw it at the wall. I didn't have to worry about my aim or anything (which is good, because my aim is horrible). Even if I aimed for the complete other side of Fiore (while searching for Cancer specifically) the thumbtack still ended up with its pair at the Heartfilia Konzern.

That being said, I knew which person I wanted to look for first, but I needed Cana's help for that part.

"So what do you need me to do?" Cana asked me as we sat under our usual tree in the park. A while ago she had asked me why we didn't go to the guild, and I told her that I had had my reasons, and that she'd see me there sooner or later.

"I already know where she is, but I need to know what she's feeling," I said.

Cana blinked. "What she's feeling? Well, then I guess we'll just try pulling one card, and get more if you feel you need more. I've never done something like this, but if you want to know what she's feeling, you need to think of her in your mind, every single thing you know about her, or else the card will concentrate on you."

"What if I think she's going to feel something?" I asked.

Cana shook her head. "It still shouldn't affect the reading," she said. "Are you ready?"

I nodded and closed my eyes. Cana put her head against mine and shuffled the cards several times, before she stopped and pulled out the one on top.

"The Three of Swords," she said. "If this represents her feeling, then she's probably feeling sorrow, loneliness, and sadness."

I nodded. "Thanks Cana. You've helped a lot. Now, I've got to go pick up a friend, okay?"

She smiled at me. "Alright Elle-nee-chan! I will see you soon then. Have fun."

I smiled down at her. "You too, sweetie. I've got to go now."

I phased into my library, and though panting, I still gathered a thumb tack and cast a spell to find this girl's location. The tack landed in Onibus and I sighed and sat down, exhausted.

"I've done enough for one day," I said quietly. "Let's just get ready for tomorrow."

I ate some dinner, showered, and then packed in case it was needed. I threw the suitcase into my requip space and crawled into bed.

Tomorrow I pick up Juvia Lockser.

I woke up fully rested and yawned, stretching. Onibus would be the biggest jump I would have made so far, but I think I could handle it. It wasn't too far from Magnolia, and I decided to start walking in that direction anyway, so I could lower the distance.

After going shopping, I had everything I needed.

I wore a pair of black yoga pants, tennis shoes, a white short sleeve shirt with the back laced up, and a black jacket.

The only difference in the rest of my wardrobe (with the exception of the dresses) where shirts and pants in different colors.

I made sure I had enough Jewel for at least two train tickets (I wasn't going to jump with Juvia).

When I reached the train station, I closed my eyes and pictured Onibus station.

Opening my eyes, I felt extremely drained, and collapsed on the ground.

I had made it to Onibus station, but I was extremely, extremely tired.

Luckily, I had collapsed in a not-very-public place, so I didn't cause a scene. I made my way over to a bench and pulled out some snacks I had in the requip space. It took a bit of time, since my energy was still depleted, but getting food into me would help me recover faster.

When I had finished eating and I had gotten enough strength to get up again, I sent the rest of my snack back and switched it out for Juvia's thumbtack – the same one I had thrown at the wall last night. The spell to find Juvia was still on it, but I had disconnected it from the map before I went to bed last night.

Holding my palm flat, I placed the thumbtack down and watched it spin before it pointed in the right direction.

I pocketed it in my jacket and went the way it was pointing.

Time to find myself a water woman.

Okay, so it was apparently a lot harder to find one person (even with a tracking spell) than I thought.

Honestly, I should have just gone straight to the orphanage.

There, I found Juvia sitting outside under a tree while it rained. There were a circle of kids around her, and they were all yelling at her.

"Oi, kids!" I yelled. "Scram, or I'll tell the Matron!"

Luckily, it was the right thing to say, as the kids all ran away and back into the building.

Which was good, because the next idea I had was throwing rocks at them, and that was a) kinda a dick move and b) probably not good for a first impression.

I walked up to Juvia's little form and squatted down.

"Hi," I said to her. "My name is Elle. Why were those kids ganging up on you?"

"They were upset because Juvia makes it rain, but Juvia cannot control it," the little girl said, sniffling. I would guess she was five years old.

"Your name is Juvia?" I asked her.

She nodded.

"That's such a pretty name," I told her. "And don't worry about your rain at all."

"What? But-"

"So you can't control it, so what?" I said, rolling my eyes. "You're a child! You have instinctive magic, and you shouldn't be expected to already know how to control it. And besides there's nothing wrong with the rain."

"There…isn't?"

"No, silly!" I said, holding out a hand. She took it and I pulled her up. "You just need to know how to have fun in the rain!"

"You can do that?" she asked.

"Of course!" I told her. "I'd rather have fun in the rain with a friend than not have any fun at all! And I'd much rather be here with you than be alone."

"You...you would?" she asked, crying.

I smiled at her. "Of course."

Juvia sniffled. "How…how does Juvia do that?" she asked.

"Come on, silly, dance!" I said, dragging her out into the empty street, which was full of puddles.

"But we'll get wet- oh."

"Yes, Juvia, but so what? We're already wet! Come on, it's fun. There's even a song about it!"

"There is?"

"Sure!" I yelled, taking her hand and spinning her. "I'm siiiiiiiiiiinging in the rain. Just siiiiiiiiinging in the rain. What a glorrrrrrious feeeeeling I'm haaaaaaapppy again!"

She started laughing.

"You better not be laughing at my singing; I already know it's bad!" I said. "But come on!" I spun her again. "I only know those words, but it's all you need to know. Sing with me! I'm siiiiiiiiiiiinging in the rain! Just siiiiiiinging in the rain."

"What a glorrrrrious feeeeling I'm haaaaaapppppy again!" Juvia joined in, laughing.

We dropped, tired, and began laughing as we laid sprawled on the ground. "You see Juvia? There's nothing wrong with the rain."

She smiled, and as she did, the rain stopped and the clouds started drifting away.

"Wow…." She said, looking at the sky. "It's….so pretty."

"Come on," I said, getting up and holding out a hand for her. "This place isn't good for you, but if you come home with me you can join my guild. There, others can help you train your magic, and you'll be accepted no matter what! Our guild is a family!"

She started crying again, but this time, the rain stayed away.

"Can I see your guild mark, Onee-sama?" Juvia asked.

I should've known that Juvia would go for the most formal variation of older sister.

"Sure," I said, smiling and taking off my jacket. I turned around so she could see the mark on my back. "So how about it? Do you want to join Fairy Tail?"

She nodded. "Yes!"

"Then let's get your stuff. I'll speak with the Matron, don't worry."

Juvia led me inside and over to the Matron before she ran up the stairs to what was, presumably, her room.

"Hello Miss," I told her. "My name is Elle, and I'm a member of Fairy Tail." I turned around so she could see my guild mark. "I'm here for Juvia Locksar. I've given her an offer to join our guild and she accepted. There, she will learn how to control her magic. As you can see outside, it has stopped raining. Do you need to contact anyone else before we can leave?"

She blinked, before she asked, "Um...exactly how old are you?"

"Nine, ma'am."

"And...you're here alone?"

I nodded. "Yes, ma'am. I'm a mage, and I can take care of myself. I can take care of Juvia too, and you can at least trust me to get her to the guild hall so she can get set up."

The Matron hesitated. "Would you mind showing me your guild mark again?"

I nodded. "Sure." I turned around and moved my hair.

"Alright, then...this is acceptable. To be honest, I was thinking of contacting a guild about Juvia anyway. But since your mark is real, I have no problems with her going with you. Despite your...age, even though the matron in me is screaming. Will she be able to find a place to live?"

I nodded. "Fairy Hills, the girls Dormitory for Fairy Tail, is available to all female guild members for free until they're old enough to go on missions. The guild will supply her with food. She'll be fine."

"Onee-sama, I'm ready!" Juvia said from beside me. She was pulling a small suitcase behind her.

I smiled at her. "Good. Let me take care of this for you, though, I have some extra storage in my requip space." I took her suitcase and requipped it, so we didn't need to carry it. "Alright, let's go!"

Juvia grabbed my hand with hers and started pulling me down the road.

"Juvia, silly, you don't even know where we're going!" I said.

"But the train station is this way, Onee-sama!"

Well, she isn't wrong. I laughed. "You know, you don't need to be so formal, sweetie."

"I like calling you Onee-sama," she admitted, clutching my hand tighter.

"Alright then," I said. "Now let's go home."

Several hours later, we stood outside the guild hall.

"Is there anyone like me, Onee-sama?" Juvia asked, still holding my hand.

"Like you as in, having a water body, or your age?" I asked.

"Both," she said quietly.

"As far as I know, I don't believe anyone has a water body. Actually, I'm not even sure that we have a water wizard," I said quietly.

Juvia gasped. "But how can they help Juvia then?"

I shook my head. "At the core level, magic is magic, same for everybody. Even if no one practices the same kind of magic as you, we'll still be able to teach you how to refine your control, which is where you need help. In addition to that, we have a large library that can help you. And if you find any of the books too complicated, anyone would help you understand."

Juvia relaxed. "Alright, Onee-sama. What about other children like Juvia?"

"Right now, the only other kids around are me, an eleven-year-old named Laxus who I haven't actually met yet, and another girl who is five years old. I'm sure other kids will end up joining soon, however."

Juvia smiled. "I am five years old."

"I'm sure you'll get along with her great. Her name is Cana."

"I heard you were talking about me," said a voice from behind us.

"Speak of the devil," I said, smiling at her. "Hello Cana."

"Hello Elle-nee-chan. Why are you talking about the devil?"

I couldn't help my laughter. "It's an expression, Cana. The full expression is 'Speak of the Devil, and he will appear'. People typically say it when someone they're talking about ends up showing up."

"Ohhhh," Cana said.

"Anyway, this is Juvia," I said, gesturing to the bluenette next to me. "She's going to join the guild."

"Cool," Cana said, holding out a hand. "I'm Cana Alberona. It's nice to meet you Juvia! I deal with Card Magic."

"H-hello," Juvia said nervously, and I realized that this could be the first time making a friend for her. "Juvia is Juvia Locksar. Juvia practices Water Magic." She reached out her hand to shake Cana's but her's passed right through it.

"Woah!" Cana said. "Your body is made of water?"

Juvia looked away in what was probably shame, considering how those other kids treated her.

"That's so cool!" Cana continued.

"It is?" Juvia asked, surprised at her acceptance.

"Totally!" Cana said. "Maybe I can even try to integrate that with my Card Magic, it would be great for a quick escape, or for protection if I could change my body into water."

"See, Juvia?" I asked her. "Fairy Tail excepts everybody. Now…how about we get that stamp?"

Chapter Three - Cana

The next day, I started making teleportation trips.

I made two trips, and was halfway into town before I felt my magic drain out.

After resting, I sighed and decided to walk the rest of the way. My magic wasn't very strong yet, and the fact that I could only make two short trips before being completely drained wasn't very promising.

You're just starting, Elle. Give it a rest.

After several minutes of walking, I finally stood in front of the guildhall.

I took a deep breath and opened the door.

While it was certainly loud and festive, it was nowhere as crazy as it was in the future.

I wonder if it's Natsu's fault it gets so violent, I thought.

"Hey there, little lady, what are you doing here?" a man I vaguely recognized as a younger Macao asked me.

"She's older than Cana," Wakaba said, snorting.

Oh? That was interesting. I didn't know Cana had already joined the guild yet.

"I would like to see the Master," I said.

"Oh, you're such a cutie-pie!" A girl squealed, hugging me. I recognized her vaguely as a girl named Enno, who was dancing on tables in one of the OVAs. I was also fairly certain she was Romeo's mother, but I had no proof of that, and I don't think it was ever confirmed. But Macao also ends up divorced later on, and Enno is no longer in the guild in the future, so…oh well, it's just a thought. "Come this way," Enno said, taking my hand. "I"ll take you to the master."

She took me up the stairs and down a hallway until we reached the master's door. "He's in there, sweetie! Don't be scared of him or anything, he's a nice old man, and he's even shorter than you!"

"Thank you, miss," I said, as she turned and went down the stairs.

I looked at the door before sighing and knocking.

"Come in!" said an older voice.

I opened the door and closed it behind me, walking to the center of the room to look at Makarov over the desk. "Hello Master Makarov. I come baring news of the future. I hope you will take the time to hear it, and listen to my plans."

His eyes widened, but other than that, he had no real reaction. Which was odd. I mean, how often do children walk into your office saying that they know the future? "What is your name, dear girl?"

"Eleanor Rigby, but I prefer Elle."

No reaction. I forgot the Beatles weren't a thing here. At least I don't need to worry about being teased.

"Alright, my dear girl, please sit down."

I took the seat across from the desk and began to start. "I know information of the upcoming future, though most of the information doesn't occur until after Year X784."

"Is there any way you can prove that you know this?" Makarov asked.

"Yes," I said quietly. "In the future, Fairy Tail will end up fighting the entirety of the Balam Alliance, though luckily the three main guilds are taken down at separate times. After that, Fairy Tail goes to war against Alvarez, Acnologia, and Zeref. These are the most important things to know. And while the Balam Alliance, with the exception of the master of Grimoire Heart, Master Hades, doesn't know about the Lumen Histoire, Alvarez does, and that is what the war is over."

He opened his mouth to say something, but paused and looked confused. "What is the Balam Alliance? Tartaros is known, and I know that Grimoire Heart is starting to become prominent, but I've never even heard of the other one."

I sat up in shock. That's right! At this point in time Oracion Seis isn't formed. In addition to that, Ultear probably hasn't joined Grimoire Heart yet, and she was the leader of the Seven Kin for a reason. "You probably shouldn't worry about it, because I think I'll be able to change it."

His eyes widened, and he sat back. "Can you prove that Lumen Histoire is more than just a name?"

"Yes," I said. "Lumen Histoire is actually First Master Mavis in a lacrima crystal, and an endless store of power. It's held in the basement."

"Please give me a minute," he said, before closing his eyes. Well, at least he knew to take me seriously now. "Alright. Do you have any sort of plans?"

"I have some," I admitted. "Most I'll be taking care of myself. Such as leading certain members of Fairy Tail here so that they join earlier. As for your help, I was hoping that you could get an MPF and have everyone do training sessions. You can measure the power of their strongest spell every few months, and work on increasing their magical power. I would also suggest everyone learning a secondary type of magic, such as teleportation or requip magic for emergencies. I'm also hoping to save the lives of several powerful mages and have them join the guild as well."

He nodded. "Those are smart ideas, and it would be good to implement that. Anything else?"

"Well, the Fantasia Parade shows of magical power and puts on a show, right? Well, why don't you also have an annual battle thing that happens on the other side of the year? You can have people pay to watch, which raises money, and we get to practice by sparring against each other."

He nodded. "Smart idea."

"Yes, especially because of the damage that's going to be caused."

"What?" he asked.

"Some of the main people who end up joining the guild are very destructive. I hope that, with our training sessions, they will get enough refinement and control over their powers that they don't end up breaking everything. More precision, you know? But it will be good to have some extra cash so we can pay for the damages they do cause."

I also hoped that by making Natsu stronger, he wouldn't just become more destructive, but I didn't get my hopes up.

Master Makarov sighed. "Alright. I will start setting up training sessions. Is there anything else?"

"Yes, I have a few more things. Please tell your members to pick up any strong gate keys they can find. I will reimburse them if they buy it from a store, but those keys will be very handy in the future. And that's about it for now."

He nodded. "Alright. Will you be joining the guild?"

I smiled. "Yep."

He opened a drawer in the desk and pulled out a stamp. "Think of the color you would like. Where do you want it?"

I moved the back of my dress down and moved my hair out of the way. "Right in between my shoulder blades, please."

He pressed it down and I felt my magic taking it in. Master Makarov held up a mirror so I could see it. It was black, with a gold outline. "Nice," I said, smiling. It had come out perfectly. I had remembered that Levy's was white with an outline in a pinkish-orange color, and I wanted to have an outline on mine too.

"Now, let's introduce you to the guild!" he said, leading me out of the office.

"Actually, if you could wait to introduce me until after I get a strong hold on my magic?" I asked. "That's also why I had the mark on my back. Once I get the right clothes I'm going to have them laced up in the back so you can still see the mark, but if I put a jacket over it I can keep it hidden, which is also good in case I have to go undercover."

He gave me a look. "How old are you really, Elle?"

"Today, I'm supposed to be nineteen, but because of other circumstances (which is also how I ended up with knowledge of the future), I'm physically ten years younger than I am."

"I see," he said quietly. "Very well, I will not introduce you. You will still visit often, however?"

I smiled. "Of course. Have a nice day, master."

He smiled back. "You as well, my dear."

I made my way downstairs and managed to exit the guild without any other members of the guild – of my guild seeing me.

My guild, I thought fondly.

As I exited the doors I crashed into a small person.

"Sorry," I said, quickly stopping her from falling. Taking a step back, I quickly realized who it was. "Hi, I'm Eleanor, but you can call me Elle."

A five-year old Cana Alberona looked at me in slight confusion. "Like the letter?"

I giggled. "Yep. What's your name?"

"I'm Cana."

"It's nice to meet you Cana," I said, holding out a hand. "Why don't you take a walk with me."

"Okay," she said. She took my hand and we started walking to East Gate Park.

"So tell me about your magic!" I told her.

"How do you know I have magic?" she asked. "I'm not that strong. I've only just started and I'm only using cards to predict when my f- ah, when people come back from trips and stuff."

"Do you mind showing me your cards?" I asked. We had arrived at the park.

We took a seat underneath a large (and somewhat familiar) tree.

"Sure," Cana said, pulling out a packet. "Do you want me to read your fortune?"

"Hmm…maybe in the future. But why do you only try to do that? Cards are good for a variety of magic. You can summon elements, and use cards to transport objects…it's all super cool! People underestimate card magic a lot, too, but you could probably become an S Class Mage if you try hard enough."

"R-really?" Cana asked.

I nodded. "You're still pretty small, but I can feel your magic, Cana. You've got power just waiting to be tapped. If you start training every day, your magical reserves will grow, and you can become super powerful."

"Do you really think so?" she asked.

I nodded. "Yeah, and if you ask Master to help you and to give you books you need, you'll probably learn even faster!"

She smiled. "I'm gonna do it! I'm gonna go train!"

I smiled. "Then go get started, silly! I need to get going home anyway, I've got my own training to do. So how about we meet here every once in a while and we compare our training methods and strength."

"Cool!" she said. "I'll see you later Elle-nee-chan!"

Nee-chan? I smiled. "It was nice meeting you," I told her. "I'll see you at the guild!"

Helping Cana get motivated this early was another bonus, something I thought I wouldn't actually have to do for a while; I didn't expect her to be here this early. I got up, stretched, and teleported to my house.

When I appeared outside, I nearly collapsed, dizzy from the spell. It was probably too long a distance for a beginner, so I'd have to practice some more, but the fact that I made the distance was good.

I wonder what would happen if I didn't make the distance? Would I just end up somewhere halfway? How does that even work…

I shook the thought out of my head and went inside. I sat at the table and started eating some bread and fruit, and reading more about teleportation magic.

It was time to get back to work.

"What do you think, First?" Makarov asked.

Mavis Vermillion moved out of the shadows. "I think she's telling the truth, but you should probably wait and see."

"And her intentions?"

"I think they're in the right place. I suggest for now, we watch what she does, and the actions she takes. If it becomes troublesome or problematic, then we'll discuss things."

"Why are you here, anyway?" Makarov asked, curiously.

"I sensed a disturbance. I wanted to see what it was."

"Do you think it was Elle coming back in time?" Makarov asked.

"I don't think she particularly came back in time," Mavis said. "I think she's a new variable."

Makarov sighed. "I was wondering; her magic doesn't seem strong enough if she went back in time."

"What makes you think that going back in time would send back magic?" Mavis asked. "If you only sent your mind back in time, your magic wouldn't come with it. It's not as if you magical container is a part of your spiritual body - it's a physical thing. They wouldn't keep their magic. If they tried hard enough, they could probably stretch their magical containers very quickly, because they remember what it was like, but I highly doubt their magic would continue with them, unless they stored it in an astral plane."

Makarov blinked. "Huh. I guess I always assumed differently."

Mavis sighed and walked to the window. "Eleanor Rigby is going to bring changes," Mavis said. "Whether they're good or bad, we'll have to wait and see."

"If she changes too much, won't her knowledge of the future be useless?" Makarov asked.

"Yes...and no," Mavis admitted. "Some things are destined to happen, and cannot - will not be able to be changed."

Her gaze drifted outside. "And that's what I'm worried about."
