Kumiko's P. O. V:

"We kicked every magic butt we saw!!" Natsu cheers. We made it back home, only to receive a surprise greeting from the civilians. Heck! Even Twilight Ogre are here!

"That makes us champs!" Happy exclaims.

Lucy, walking beside Erza says in astonishment, "Wow! There are so many people here..."

Erza says, "I honestly wasn't expecting this grand of an entrance... it's overwhelming."

Asuka is riding on Master's shoulders as they cheer. Makarov cries joyously, "Fairy Tail's the greatest!"

"Hey, Mira, Kumiko!" A guy calls as I walk on the takeover mages' right. We turn our heads. "I love you both!!"

"Thank you!" We reply, waving at him as we smile. Behind us walk her siblings, with Lisanna sitting on Elfman's shoulders.

"So, how awesome is the view up there?!"

"It's awesome! But, just a little embarrassing..."

Lily says in astonishment, walking beside Gajeel, "Wow! This is quite a homecoming!"

"You got that right!" Luna says, nodding.

Gajeel points his thumb at himself as he says, grinning, "'Cause we put Fairy Tail back on top!" I grin at the Iron Dragon Slayer, and he grins back at me.

My eyes widen when I feel myself get lifted from the ground, and placed on top of Gajeel's shoulders. "Eep! G-Gajeel...! What are you doing?!"

"Figured I'd give you a ride, Crystal Girl," He responds.

"You're saying that I'm too short, aren't you?" I mumble.

"Well, you are short!"

"Hey! I'm still taller than Lucy and Levy!" I say indignantly.

"But, to me, Crystal Girl, you'll always be short! Geehee!" Gajeel laughs, and I pout, crossing my arms.

"Kumiko! You were awesome in your battle with Jura!"

"No! When she fought Minerva all by herself!"

"Check our this little souvenir I brought back!" Natsu says as he digs through his backpack. "You guys are gonna love this! Ta daa!"

Natsu holds up the king's crown for all to see.

"WHAT THE FUDGE—?!" I scream upon seeing it. "Is that the king's freaking crown?! You didn't steal it from him, did you?!"

"Oops! You weren't supposed to see that..." Natsu quickly puts the crown back in his backpack.

"They're gonna throw you back in the dungeon, Natsu-san!" Wendy exclaims, wise eyed, as her body trembles from shock
