Happy is seen passed out in the middle of a bed, Carla on his left, and Lily his right, as then Happy is the first one to stir. Opening his eyes slowly as at first he is met with nothing but bright light making him raise his right paw up to block it out as he winces his left eye close; his eyes taking a few seconds to adjust to this change in the environment until eventually everything returns to normal. Allowing Happy to see that he was no longer on Mount Doom, but somewhere, well not dark.

"Huh? W-Where am I? Am I...dead?" Happy wonders sitting himself up and looking around. Finding himself in a brightly lit room as he then takes notice of Carla and Lily lying on either side of him. Just as the two of them begin waking up as well, Lily groaning a little as he sits himself up as Carla lets out a breath and sits herself up looking around slowly.

"This definitely isn't Mount Doom...where are we?" Lily questions.

"That's what I was just wondering myself." Happy says.

"Maybe we're somewhere safe? But how did we…" Carla begins to say.

When suddenly the Exceeds pick up running footsteps coming their way and look to their right towards a door as it bursts open, revealing an out of breathe Natsu and Wendy with their heads down "You heard that too, right Natsu-san?" Wendy asks him.

"Yeah, Happy's voice, I know it." Natsu says as the two Dragon Slayers lift their heads up and look at the bed, spotting their completely shocked Exceed partners who cannot believe just who they are seeing.

"W-Wendy?" Carla says, tears starting to form in her eyes.

"N-Natsu?" Happy also says still in shock.

"They are awake!" Natsu cries out in excitement.

"Carla!" Wendy cries out overjoyed running towards the bed as Carla clenches her teeth full of happiness and launches herself off the bed crying out "Wendy!" The two embracing each other as Wendy spins Carla around with both of them crying their eyes out, completely full of happiness at seeing each other again after so long, of course they aren't the only ones.

"Happy!"

"Natsu!" both Natsu and Happy cry out as Natsu runs towards the bed, Happy spreading his wings and flying into Natsu's arms as the two partners hug each other just like the girls. Seeing this brings a smile to Lily's face, as he then takes notice of movement at the doorway and looks to see Gajeel standing and leaning against the wall with a smirk on his face. Seeing his Dragon Slayer partner being his usual tough self, Lily can't help but play along as he chuckles and nods his head at him, Gajeel returning the gesture with his signature chuckle and toothy grin as he begins walking over to him.

"Oh Wendy, I was so worried about you!" Carla says as tears stream down her face.

"I was worried for you to Carla, when Gandalf brought you back and I saw how bad you looked I got so scared." Wendy says, tears also traveling down her face.

"I knew you'd be okay! No way any of Sauron's goons could have taken you down!" Happy says.

"Hehe of course not. None of them were even close to being on my level!" Natsu says.

More footsteps are heard approaching the doorway quickly as then one by one Lucy, Gray, and Erza enter the room, relieved looks coming to their faces upon seeing the Dragon Slayers and their Exceed partners reuniting. Happy takes notice of them and cries out "Lucy! Gray! Erza!" joyfully.

"Glad to see you're all okay, Happy, Carla, Lily." Lucy says with a smile on her face.

"Welcome back." Gray says.

Erza walks up a few feet "From what Sam has told us, you three performed very well in protecting both him and Frodo. Well done." Erza says.

"Sam's okay too?!" Happy asks excitedly hearing the Hobbit was okay.

"Woke up just a couple minutes before you did. Now, we're just waiting on Frodo, but it's good knowing that you are all making swift recoveries." Erza says.

Happy and Carla both chuckle with open smiles and look at each other, after a few seconds Carla's face drops like she's beginning to remember something as then her mouth turns into a wavy line and her cheeks begin blushing like crazy. Seeing this takes Happy aback at first wondering why she's blushing, until he remembers that in a way, back on Mount Doom, Carla did in a way proclaim her love for him. Remembering this Happy's cheeks begin blushing as well.

Natsu hums as he looks down noticing Happy and Carla looking at each other "What's wrong with you two?" he asks.

"NOTHING!" the two Exceeds exclaim at the same time.

Hearing this takes the others aback making them confused by their sudden change in behavior as they look at Lily, though he doesn't have any answers as he shrugs his shoulders. While the others are doing this Happy looks back at Carla, and notices her form a small smile on her lips at him, making him smile brightly at her.

"Everyone." Legolas says entering the room getting their attention "Frodo is awaking." he says.

Meanwhile…

Frodo slowly awoke, finding himself in a brightly lit room wearing a white shirt as he sat himself up, and paused. In front of him, Gandalf who he thought had died back in Moria as Gandalf looked down at him with a blank stare "Gandalf?" Frodo asked as a smile began appearing on his face.

At this a smile forms on Gandalf's face as he begins chuckling before erupting into a wholeheartedly laugh, something Frodo joins in on as well as he begins laughing in joy as well. Just then he hears the door open and looks over to see Merry and Pippin nearly burst into the room, the two stopping at the door as Merry shouts "Frodo!" with smiles of joy coming to his and Pippin's faces. Frodo becomes shocked but once again overjoyed to see two more of his dear friends as the two Hobbits run over and jump onto his bed, hopping up and down on their knees just full of joy and happiness at seeing Frodo again as Gandalf continues laughing.

As Frodo hugs Merry another familiar face appears in the doorway in the form of Gimli, the dwarf crying out happily with his arms outstretched "Gimli!" Frodo says. Gimli laughs for a few seconds while clapping his hands as he begins walking over, almost immediately Legolas appears next in the doorway giving a smile to Frodo before walking in. Frodo is happy to see his elf friend as then next coming is, is the Fairy Tail members as Natsu with Happy on his shoulder, Lucy, Wendy with Carla in her arms, Erza, Gray, and Gajeel with Lily on his shoulder, one by one walk in with smiles on their faces also laughing and chuckling away. The smile of complete happiness remains on Frodo's face as he is glad to see the Fairy Tail mages, as then next to enter the room is Aragorn who after a few seconds gives a toothy smile before approaching.

While the Hobbits continue bouncing away on the bed, Aragorn, Natsu and the others gather around the bed and Frodo completely overjoyed to be seeing him alive and well again. Finally, one more person enters the room, Sam. As Frodo's eyes land on him, the two exchange smiles at one another, both of them glad that they were safe, and back with their friends.

The sun shines brightly over Minas Tirith, the entire city rebuilt anew with the scars of war all but gone as today, was a very special day. At the very top on the Citadel, the citizens of Minas Tirith and soldiers from both Gondor and Rohan alike have gathered en masse, for the crowning the new King. At the door leading to the throne room, Gimli stands off to the side with a pillow in his hands as Gandalf takes from it the King's crown, raising it high into the air before slowly placing it on Aragorn's head "Now come the days of the King." he announces.

Aragorn adorned in his new royal clothing and armor while kneeling down, looks up and smiles at him "May they be blessed." Gandalf says looking down at him before taking a few steps back.

Standing up, Aragorn takes in a deep breath as he accepts the role he was destined to become, King of Gondor. Taking a few steps up to the top he turns around to face the people, who all break out into a roar of cheers and applause as the soldiers stand at their positions with their spears and shields up "This day does not belong to one man, but to all...Let us together rebuild this world, that we may share in the days of peace." Aragorn says, causing the crowd to once again erupt in cheers and applause.

Off to right side by the edge were the Fairy Tail members also applauding for Aragorn. Suddenly out of nowhere the petals of the White Tree began blowing and falling all over the place, amongst the crowd was also a fully recovered Faramir and Eowyn, the two standing happily next to each other since the two had apparently fallen in love with each other during their respective recovering process. As the citizens continue clapping with the soldiers looking happily up at their new king, Aragorn begins singing slowly in Quenya a song that long ago his forefather Elendil, once sung when his feet first touched the lands of Middle-Earth, silencing the crowd.

"Et Eärello,

Endorenna utúlien...

Sinome maruvan,

ar Hildinyar,

tenn' Ambar-metta~."

Aragorn begins walking down the aisle, Faramir and Eowyn bow towards as he walks by them as then Eomer walks out and bows to him as well with Aragorn returning the bow. Looking back forward, Aragorn approaches Legolas and the group of Elves that stand behind him as they approach. Stopping after a few seconds the two place their left hands on each other's right shoulder "Thank you." Aragorn says in elvish.

Legolas lets out a humorous huff holding back a small smile, as he then steps aside allowing Aragorn to look at a white colored Gondor flag being held by someone, and that someone as they move the flag away, turns out to be Arwen. The love of his life healthy and fully recovered from Sauron's magic that was draining her life away, Elrond standing behind her as Aragorn stares on in disbelief. Stepping beside her almost on the verge of tears, Elrond quietly ushers his daughter forward as she begins approaching Aragorn who approaches her as well, the look of disbelief still present on his face.

Stopping just a little inches away from each other, Arwen gives Aragorn a curtsy as Aragorn puts his left hand to her chin and raises her head up slowly. After a few seconds of nothing but silence, Aragorn and Arwen embrace and kiss each other, causing the crowd to start clapping away once more at the happy couple as everyone looks on with joyous smiles on their faces. Seeing the strong love between Aragorn and Arwen, Natsu and Lucy couldn't help but share quick glances and smiles at each other before looking back forward and then clenching their hands together. Elrond meanwhile looks on with a saddened, but also happy smile on his face at seeing how happy his daughter was with Aragorn; the two share a few more quick kisses and caress each other's face until Arwen giggles and hugs Aragorn who hugs her back.

Finally, the two make their way through the crowd who moves aside while bowing forward in respect to them, as the King and his soon to be Queen approach the four Hobbits. Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin bow forward in respect, however "My friends…" Aragorn speaks up taking a few steps towards them gaining their attention.

"...you bow to no one." Aragorn says shaking his head.

Just as he, followed by Arwen, and immediately the rest of the crowd, kneel down to the Hobbits, in thanks for all that they have done for Middle-Earth. At seeing all these people bowing for them, the Hobbits are completely taken aback by this great honor they are receiving.

Even the Fairy Tail wizards are on their knees to give the respect the Hobbits deserve, opening his eyes to look at the ground, Natsu squints his eyes upon noticing a small orb of light suddenly appear from the ground. "Hey, Lucy." Natsu quietly says trying to catch her attention.

"Not now Natsu." Lucy whispers trying to remain quiet so as to not be disrespectful and disrupt things.

Looking back at the ground Natsu notices more, and more small orbs of light start appearing and float upwards around him and his fellow mages. "Lucy." Natsu says again.

"Natsu whatever it is it can-"

"Would you just look!" Natsu quietly says.

Listening to him Lucy opens her eyes, and is taken aback by the sight of the glowing orbs of light surrounding her and her teammates as then one by one the other members of Fairy Tail begin taking notice of them as well. Before they can begin to question what is going on, a bright flash of light erupts from the ground blinding the mages for a second making them shoot up to their feet. This of course catches the attention of everyone on the Citadel as all the civilians near the Fairy Tail mages quickly back up out of fear, while Aragorn, the Hobbits, Legolas, Gimli, and Gandalf quickly begin making their way over to them stopping just a few feet away as a circle of white light now surrounds Team Natsu.

"Now what? Natsu what did you do?" Gimli questions.

"What?! I didn't do anything!" Natsu states.

"This circle of light. It looks and feels so...familiar." Gray says looking at the light now surrounding him and the others.

"This light…" Erza says also looking around while trying to remember why this looked so familiar, until it finally hit her "This light! It's the same one that brought us to Middle-Earth in the first place!" she says making the Fellowship and members of Team Natsu look at her in shock and awe.

"She's right...Erza's right! This is the same magic circle that was created when we read that request!" Lucy says.

"Then, that means…" Gajeel says.

"We're going home!" Wendy shouts full of joy understanding what was happening.

"We're finally going home!" Carla says as smiles of joy cross every member of Team Natsu's faces.

"We're finally going to return to Fairy Tail!" Happy cries out with his paws raised.

"Hmph, how do you like that? The magic waited for us to at least be present at Aragorn's crowning before sending us back." Lily says.

And then, it finally dawned upon the members on what was about to fully happen. They were about to return home alright, but at the same time, that meant that they were never going to see Aragorn, Frodo, Gandalf, or any of their other friends of Middle-Earth, ever again. Making them look up at Aragorn and the others who all had smiles on their faces, the members of the Fellowship happy that their friends from another world were going to finally return home where they truly belonged. The mages of Fairy Tail exchanged looks with one another before returning the smiles back to the members of the Fellowship "I am happy for all of you, after all you have done you deserve this. Thank you, for all you have done for the people of Middle-Earth. For helping us in our darkest of times, if it had not been for you, who knows what would have become of Middle-Earth. For ones so young as all of you, you all make great warriors. The memories you have left for the people of this land, will truly never be forgotten." Aragorn says.

"And we will never forget you either. Aragorn, Gandalf, Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Legolas, Gimli. The memories and bonds we have created with you will forever be in our hearts. Even though you are not mages, well, except of course for you Gandalf, you all would have made fine and powerful members of Fairy Tail." Erza says.

"Do you think, we'll ever see you again?" Pippin asks.

The Fairy Tail mages exchange looks with one another before looking back with saddened looks in their eyes "If only traveling to another world were so easy. Unfortunately, this truly may be the last we ever see of you, and Middle-Earth." Erza says, bringing saddened looks to the members of the Fellowship.

"Hey!" Natsu says catching their attention "Just because it's difficult doesn't mean it's impossible. You never know. Put it this way, if something ever goes wrong in Middle-Earth again, you can count on Fairy Tail coming to the rescue again to help out old pals in need." he says.

Gandalf smiles "I have no doubt, life does work in mysterious ways when you need it to the most as I would say." he says.

"Then should a time ever come, when one of our worlds is threatened once more, may we fight side by side once more and defeat whatever evil it may be." Aragorn says.

The members of Team Natsu nod their heads in agreement, followed by the members of the Fellowship. Just then the brightness of the light intensifies, signaling that they would be leaving soon as both groups share one last look at one another. Lucy, Wendy, and Happy on the verge of tears as the same for Merry, Pippin, and Gimli. As one last way of saying goodbye, the mages of Fairy Tail, raise their left hands and form their signature hand gesture with their index finger and thumb pointing upwards to the sky; the Fellowship members exchange quick looks with one another, and proceed to recreate the same hand gesture themselves.

The two groups continue staring at one another until finally, the circle of light fully engulfs the mages of Fairy Tail, and as it dies down, they are gone. "Good luck on your future adventures, Fairy Tail." Aragorn says.

The bright light dies down, and the members of Team Natsu with widened eyes, find themselves back at the same table, in the same positions, in the Fairy Tail guild hall, as when they had left for Middle-Earth. Looking around the group take notice of the exact same members sitting or standing in the exact same spots as when they had left, almost as if nothing had changed during their time in Middle-Earth; but they had been gone for months, heck pretty much a year and a month! Looking at the clock, Lucy took notice of how it was the exact time of when they had left too.

"We're...back...right?" Gray questions.

"I hope we are." Wendy says.

"Everything...everyone...it's all the same as the day we left." Erza says.

"But it couldn't be, we were in Middle-Earth for at least a year." Carla says.

"Could it be? What if the magic sent us right back to the same moment as we left? It could have been a year in Middle-Earth, but here…" Lucy says.

"No time has passed at all." Lily says.

"So...what does that mean? Like did any of the stuff in Middle-Earth happen or?" Gajeel says.

"No, it did happen that's for sure! But man, to send us not only back to our world, but also back in time to when we left...or technically not even left? AW MAN NOW I AM CONFUSED DID WE LEAVE OR DID WE NOT LEAVE?!" Natsu cries out with his hands to his head.

"Well you sure haven't left that's for sure." a familiar voice speaks up from behind the group making them turn to see Mirajane walking towards them with a tray of drinks in her hand, her eyes closed and angelic smile present on her face. "You've all kind of been standing here frozen for the past few minutes, hope you're okay so I thought I'd bring some drinks over." she says.

"Mirajane!" Lucy and Happy cry out in tears of joy at the same time as Wendy cries out "Mira-san!" with the three launching themselves towards and embracing her in a tight hug. Taking her completely off guard as she still manages to keep the tray of drinks still in her hand but with her eyes opened and a confused look on her face.

"Mirajane, we missed you!" Lucy says.

"And we also missed your cooking!" Happy says.

"Uhm, thanks? What's going on and why did you miss me when I was just over at the bar?" Mirajane asks.

"My, my, what's all this racket about I can hear all of you from outside." a familiar voice speaks up from the entrance. Drawing everyone's attention as not only is the person who spoke Master Makarov, but behind him were the rest of their friends from the guild, from Levy and the members of Team Shadow Gear, Cana, Juvia, Laxus and his Thunder God Tribe, Macao, Wakaba, Romeo, the Connell's, everyone who seemed to have returned from their respective missions.

"Everyone! You're back!" Lucy shouts out in surprise.

"I know right, talk about a coincidence how we all finished our jobs and returned at the exact same time. It's really weird." Levy says.

"Gray-sama~! Juvia has returned from her mission safe and sound!" Juvia cries out sliding right towards him taking him aback a bit as he takes a step back creeped out.

"Seriously though, what the hell's going on here?" Laxus questions with a blank stare and his arms crossed.

"Mirajane?" Makarov asks.

"I don't know myself Master. Natsu and the others were all standing at their table doing nothing and then all of a sudden they started blurting out how they missed me even though I was just over at the bar." Mirajane replies.

"Gramps! You should have seen it all, it was so insane! We were all transported to another world, got involved in a big war, made some new friends, and then saved the world by kicking the bad guy's ass and destroying his stupid Ring of Power or whatever! It was all so insane!" Natsu begins yelling excitedly.

"Eh? Really!" Romeo asks with an awed look on his face.

"So you did all of that while standing at a table for a few minutes? Sounds like quite the story." Macao sarcastically says not believing it.

"But it's true! We were transported to another world and when we saved it the magic brought us back to the moment we left! Or, never left, I don't know but it really happened!" Happy says.

"It did!" Wendy says also trying to support the claim it was real.

"Slow down, slow down. What happened? Erza, mind explaining?" Makarov asks turning towards her.

"Of course Master. What happened was we gathered here at the guild ready to do a job, we found a request with strange writing on it-" just then her eyes widened in realization "The request!" Erza says having now found the groups proof that they really did go to another world.

"Of course, there's our proof right there!" Carla says realizing what Erza was getting at as she turned around towards it "Lily bring it over!" she says.

Lily and Gajeel stand on/over the table looking down at it, but with confused looks on their faces "I would, but…" Lily says.

"It's not here!" Gajeel says shocked by this as he looks all around the table but finds no sign of the request paper.

"EH~!" Natsu, Happy, and Lucy cry out in shock hearing this.

"What? But that can't be!" Wendy says also in shock.

"Sounds to me like you're all losing your minds. You sure you all got some good sleep last night and maybe just aren't hallucinating things?" Laxus questions.

"But it...it couldn't have all been a dream. Could it?" Happy says.

"All of us having the exact same dream, come on that's a bit farfetched. Not only that, but, everything we went through, it all felt too real for it to have been a dream." Gray says.

"Don't worry Gray-sama, I believe you even if all the things you're saying sound crazy." Juvia says.

"You guys believed us on the whole thing involving Edoras, why is a whole other world so hard to believe?" Lucy asks.

"Hm~, that is true. But still there's also what Mirajane is saying about how you've all been standing in the same place the past few minutes. Plus with everything that has happened recently it could all just be from all of you not getting enough sleep and not being fully recovered yet from all the fighting. Besides Anima is the only know magic capable of traveling to another world and with Mystogan having of taken care of that I don't see any other sort of magic being powerful enough to summon especially such a specific, small group of mages from out of nowhere. Right now I honestly don't know what to make of this, whether you're crazy or not." Makarov says.

"I say they're crazy." Max humorously says.

"I agree." Warren says with a humorous grin.

"Shut it the both of you!" Natsu angrily says.

Erza closes her eyes "Guess, without any sort of evidence to back our claims up. Perhaps we all did just coincidentally experience the same dream in some kind of way."

The members of Team Natsu, along with Gajeel and Lily let out sighs of defeat since in a way Erza was right, while they believed all the events of Middle-Earth having of happened, without any backup to prove their mission was real they just sounded like a bunch of crazy people now.

Suddenly from out of nowhere a bright flash of light erupts from the table the group of mages had been standing over previously, blinding everyone in the room as they turned towards it. After a few seconds the light died down revealing a very large sack now lying in the center of the table "Huh? Where'd that sack come from?" Lisanna questions curiously.

Walking up to and untying the top of it, Lily reaches and leans into the sack and begins digging through it to see what was inside; coming out a few seconds later and turning around with a smile plastered on his face as in his hands, was a sheathed dagger of the Noldorin, the gift he had received from Galadriel! "It appears we are no longer crazy." he says.

The members of Team Natsu gasp in shock at this "That dagger!" Happy says.

"Could it be!" Lucy says as the group rush over to the sack, the other members of Fairy Tail now drawn over to this out of shock and curiosity, since now it looked like their friends might not have been so crazy about their story after all.

Erza pulls out from the sack "My Elven Swords!" she yells joyously wielding the two weapons in her hands.

"My ribbon!" Carla says.

"My armbands!" Wendy says.

"My...belt." Gray says, still not fully liking the present Galadriel gave him but knowing he couldn't exactly say no or anything bad to her about it.

"My Elven Gittern!" Gajeel says pulling it out and looking at it.

Just then Gray reaches over and tries pulling it away as Gajeel is forced to swing his body around and hold it away from him to protect it "No way that's definitely not staying in your possession give it here!" Gray angrily states.

"Fuck off Nude Boy this is mine!" Gajeel angrily retorts.

"MY FISH!" Happy cries out with tears of joy finding the rare fish in the sack, the fish whole once more like he had never taken a bit out of it, nor Gollum finish it.

Wendy pulls out from the sack an Elven Cloak with the Brooch on it "Look, we even got the cloaks and Brooches she gave to us, every single one of ours are in here!" she says.

"All the gifts Lady Galadriel gave to us are in here!" Happy says already eating away at the fish.

As the members of Team Natsu are happily going over all their gifts, the other members of the guild continue to stare on in shock and awe "What's...going on?" Wakaba questions.

"Wait, mommy, is Natsu and the others crazy?" Asuka asks her mother Bisca.

"Hehe, it appears not sweetie. Looks like Natsu and the others may be telling the truth about whatever crazy adventure they went on in this new world." she says answering her daughter's question.

As everyone else is distracted either going over the gifts or just trying to take all of this in, Natsu is still digging through the sack like crazy, even though its empty, as he attempts to find the pendant for Lucy but to no avail. Taking his head out he then hears "Natsu." and looks up to see Lucy looking at him as she had whispered his name, one of her books on the Elves in her hands as she takes a quick look around before opening the cover slightly. Revealing to Natsu her pendant right inside, safely hidden away.

Seeing this brings a smile to Natsu's face as he looks back up at her, Lucy returning the smile to him as a little blush comes to her cheeks.

"Hold on a second! So just what in the world is going on here?!" Jet yells out silencing everyone.

The Fairy Tail members who had traveled to Middle-Earth, fought in a war making many new friends along the way, and helped to save the world, exchanged looks with one another before looking back at everyone else "It's a long story." they all say at the same time.

Later That Night…

And after a long night of explaining everything that had transpired from being transported to Middle-Earth, to the end of the war, the crowning of Aragorn, and saying goodbye to their new friends of the Fellowship, the members of Team Natsu had left all of their friends in complete shock and awe at everything they had just heard them go through in this new world. Makarov did of course congratulate them on a job well done saying especially how that mission of theirs very well was something on the level of S-Class, maybe even a One Hundred Year quest in terms of the number of challenges they had to overcome in order to achieve it, and there was a lot of challenges that the group had been through that were close to ending their lives.

As for some of the other responses, most of the members were just sad or angered how they missed out on something as exciting as this, Levy complained heavily to Lucy about getting left out especially on the chance of learning about a whole new history and so much more from another world. Juvia cried how she missed out on this adventure alongside her "beloved Gray-sama" and of course angered by how Lucy was there leading to her once again calling Lucy her "Love Rival", and then there was Laxus who while for the most part was impressed by what the group did, was more neutral on the whole not being transported there thing and showing not a care in the world for getting left out.

Of course since it was now very well past midnight since explaining everything about what happened to them in Middle-Earth as well as explaining to the group about their new friends and pretty much what this new world was like, people were beginning to tire. Especially Team Natsu who definitely missed sleeping in their own houses, of course because of what the group had done another wild party was thrown to celebrate their triumph. And while it was fun being back home and partying with everyone again, Lucy didn't last long and eventually decided to call it a night as she made her way out the guild doors.

A Few Minutes Later…

"We'll finish this tomorrow Nudist Moron! When I'm back at my full strength and not tired out from saving a whole other world!" Natsu yells out angrily as he begins storming out the guild hall.

"Yeah, whatever Pyro, tomorrow I'll just kick your ass again!" Gray yells back.

Exiting the building and making his way past the outer gate, Natsu suddenly stops as a smirk comes to his face "I'm here." he says turning to his left as Lucy emerges from the shadows with a smile on her face.

"Took you long enough. I was beginning to think you were going to forget about me and focus on fighting Gray." Lucy humorously says.

Natsu chuckles as he walks up to and wraps his left arm around her lower back pulling her in "Nah, I know what's really important." he says making Lucy giggle as she wraps her arms around his neck. "So, can I spend the night at your apartment, without any restrictions?" Natsu asks.

Lucy turns her head away and hums "Hm~, let me think about it. Yes." she says almost immediately in a humorous style.

The two lean in and kiss each other for a few seconds before pulling away. "Heh, we've sure been through a lot recently." Natsu says.

"Yeah...we sure have. And I can only bet we'll have a lot more challenges to come. We're mages of Fairy Tail after all." Lucy says.

"Yeah...we are. But that doesn't matter. Because whatever challenges gets in our way, we'll face it, together. And beat it together. And no matter what happens, the Dragon will always be there to protect his Princess." Natsu says with a sincere smile.

Lucy smiles sincerely at him as well before cupping his cheeks and planting another kiss on his lips "I think I can say this without a doubt in the world, I love you...Natsu Dragneel." Lucy says.

"Yeah, same here...I love you...Lucy Heartfilia." Natsu says.

Releasing his hold on her, the two turn sideways and grasp each other's hand as they begin making their way back to Lucy's apartment as the light of the full moon shined down upon them in the dark night. The future was still uncertain and the number of enemies Fairy Tail would have to face, unknown. But one thing was certain. Was that whatever challenges laid in their path, Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfilia, would face them together, just like always, forever.

Just sleeping

Into the West

And thus ends a great journey. And a great story.

Thank you to everyone who stood by this story to the very end. I hope you all had a wonderful adventure and enjoyed every moment of The Fairies of the Ring. A full year has passed since I started this story and I enjoyed working on it every chance I did. But all great journeys must come to an end eventually. Once again, I thank you for joining me on this great adventure with our favorite mages and fellowship, and I hope you continue joining me on these adventures in my other stories. But don't worry, my adventures into the lands of Middle-Earth are far from over. There are still many more stories to that can be told, many more heroes who could join alongside the members of the Fellowship on their quest to destroy the One Ring over, and over again. So, who knows what new stories await in the future. Guess you'll just have to wait, and keep your eyes peeled to find out.

(End Lord of the Rings The Return of the King - Into the West)

PHEW! And SCENE! That's a wrap folks I hope you all enjoyed the great conclusion to this awesome story! And it's just like I said, there are still a lot more stories that can be told in the lands of Middle-Earth, other heroes to take the spots of our favorite mages instead. So if you're a fan of this, make sure to check out my other stories and to also keep your eyes peeled for the next adventure into the lands of Middle-Earth. So, what will the next story to replace this one be? Well, I already got it planned out. Here's a little something to give you a clue, it's not a scene or anything from the actual story as I of course haven't started on it, and probably won't unfortunately for a while since I now need to spend some time on my other stories plus starting my longly awaited The Passing By Kamen Rider. So at the most you can probably expect this sometime in early 2018, but if things go well, maybe even sooner, and so...here's your clue!

A shadowy figure stands atop Weathertop, the light of the full moon outlining his figure as behind the figure, the Nine Nazgul stand with their swords at the ready. The figure turns his head slightly "Hope you're ready." the figure says before fully turning around. A white cape flying through the wind as he does so as glistening silver armor could be seen covering the man's body except his head.

"Because this is about to be my stage now!" the man says, placing something on his waist as a belt forms around his waist. The man then takes out what appears to be a lock of some kind, and opens it.

"Orange!"

Q&A…

To Guest dv - Don't worry, now that I've finished this story I will be putting my full attention back to Neo-Heisei Riders Tail! So be on the lookout for an update (hopefully) soon! Cause let me tell you this month's going to get crazy cause a lot of big school projects are coming in so I'm going to have to balance my time out between those so I don't have to do them at the last second, and fail, my story, and of course my YouTube and life in general.

To R98 - Right now at the rate things are going, most likely early 2018. I have the series planned out and everything so it's going to happen.

To Stalvir - Never heard of that, but I guess I can check it out when I can and see what I think.
