"NATSU DRAGNEEL!" Lucy roared, while chasing him into the guild. Everyone sighed. Today was like any other day.
"What'd he do this time Lucy?" Erza asked, shooting up from her seat while eating strawberry cake.
"HE RUINED THE DECORATIONS FOR MY PARTY!" a demonic aura surrounded her, causing all males within ten feet to shrink to the corners of the room. The girls just shot Natsu dirty looks while comforting Lucy.
"Don't worry Lu-chan! I'm sure Natsu will replace them!" She glared at Natsu, but he just snickered.
"You cant make me!" He yelled. The guys, although idiots, just nodded at him, earning all of them an infamous Lucy Kick.
"DAMN IT BUNNY GIRL!" Gajeel yelled "SHUT UP YOUR ANNOYING!"
"GAJEEL REDFOX!" Levy screeched, and pulled on her idiotic friends hair. Juvia flashed a sweet smile at Gray, until he said, "Juvia would never hurt me!" He snickered. A minute later, Gray was slumped on the table after Juvia secretly half suffocated him. She giggled, and walked over to Lucy, who was glaring at Natsu. He just stubbornly glared back, almost holding back a smirk.
"What are you guys going to do about it?" He chuckled. Lucy, Levy, Juvia, and Wendy glowered.
"Do you really want to find out?" They hissed. Romeo just decided to enter the guild. Taking one look at the girls, he shrugged.
"Guys, Natsu didn't really do anything. Calm down!" He tried to soothe the girls. Wendy just looked at him with an unnaturally scary look on her face.
"He hurt Lucy. He deserves to die." She cackled. Cana, took a break from her drinking, and chuckled.
"YOU GUYS ARE DEAD!" She laughed, then decided to drink another barrel.
"No not really. These girls are not powerful enough to hurt us!" Natsu laughed. Lucy was a but taken back by this. She pulled her whip out.
"What was that?" She growled.
"Oi! Bunny Girl! Can't you hear? He said that you four are basically the weakest here at the guild!"
"Yeah!" Gray finally woke up, brought up to date about everthing.
"Sorry guys…. But…. Its true." Romeo shrugged. The girls froze, and faced them.
"You are going to regret saying that." Levy whispered. She and the others looked at each other.
"Is it time?" Wendy asked quietly. Juvia agreed, but looked to Lucy, who was pondering it for confirmation. Finally, after silence in the guild, the boys yelled.
"TIME FOR WHAT? FINALLY GIVING US A BREAK FROM SAVING YOUR BUTTS?" Gray laughed. Juvia froze at that, but continued to stare at Lucy. She finally nodded. Levy, Wendy, and Juvia immediatelyjoined hands, and stared at Lucy expectantly. Lucy breathed in, closing her eyes. Erza watched from her table at the far side of the room, observing. She knew the boys were kidding, but she didn't know about the girls and their secret. The air around Lucy glowed, and a gold magic circle with a dragon in it erupted from beneath her. She began to glow, and started to levitate. Her golden hair flew up, and her chest pushed forward, leaving her arms to drape behind her. Her body glowed such a bright gold, that you couldn't see her face anymore. Everyone at the guild stared at her, including a wide eyed Natsu. He recognized the symbol beneath her. The other girls soon erupted in light of their own. Juvia; blue, Levy; orange, and Wendy; white. They turned to face the boys, their eyes filled with magic. They spoke as one.
"Spell Containment; Realease. Activate Inner Dragons." Their voices sang clear throughout the guild.
"Wha!" Natus stumbled back, into Gajeel, who was staring at Levy. Gray stared, dumbfounded at Juvia, until the glowing disappeared. They girls emerged from the glowing, looking completely different. Lucy led the group. Her usual outfit was replaced with a short white skirt with gold rims. She had a gold skin tight crop top, with a brown jacket and knee high boots on. All of her hair was pulled up into a ponytail, except a lock of hair. The other girls looked the same, but with a touch of themselves. Juvia was all blue and black, with no crop top. Levy was orange and yellow, with a crop top, but she kept her hair in a headband. Wendy had a longer skirt on, and no crop top, but other than that, they looked the same. And…
"Badass" Gajeel muttered. Levy turned to face him. She looked at him quizzically, but she then turned to the others, and they walked up to Master's office.
"Wait!" Romeo yelled. Wendy just flicked a hand towards him, and he flew into a wall. "ROMEO!" Natsu yelled, and ran over to him. No one saw the girls after that. A week passed until Master came out of his office, eyes puffy. He announced that the girls had left the guild. And he said that he didn't know where they were or if they were even going to come back. The whole guild was quiet and silent from that day.
TIME SKIP
Romeo's POV
It's been a year and a half since the girls left. The entire guild was affected by it. Instead of barrels, Cana had only one bottle of booze a day. Erza went of on missions that took weeks, muttering to herself that she should be stronger to deserve to talk to them. The guild that was normally happy and full of life was now dead and quite. The boys themselves had taken a huge toll. Natsu stayed at Lucy's place, taking jobs to pay for her rent. He no longer smiled, or fought with Gray. Gray changed too. His stripping habits seemed to stop, and he never even talked to anyone. He just glared at them coldly, unless it was Romeo, Gajeel, or Natus. He would then just sulk off in a corner with them. Gajeel had moved into Levy's apartment as well. He took jobs with Natsu to pay her rent, and was always clutching her favorite book. They took the exceeds with them (except Happy and Lily, sooo just Carla.) Happy was also depressed, not eating fish anymore.
I myself was not faring too well after that. I always blamed myself for her disappearance. I never had a smile to look forward to anymore. After a month, I decided to look for the girls. The other guys came with me, and we searched in vain. Rumors spread about a gang of four girls, heroes, and Dragon Slayers. At first, we didn't know how to take it. We knew Wendy was one, but by the reports, all of the girls were. And they were extremely powerful. Also, they seemed to be so powerful, they destroyed more than Natsu when doing missions.
Eventually, we returned home from a search mission. Everyone was gathered around Master, who was at the bar. We just decided to sit as far away from them as possible.
"Brats listen up! Due to financial issues, we are going to merge with a new official guild!" He yelled. Everyone else just sighed. That was not the news they were hoping for.
"The guild name is Dragon Claws. They have all girls, but they have agreed to merge with us." He cleared his throat. "Pack up the guild. We are moving to the outskirts of town. Also… there are four particular girls there that we are aware off." Master said. The boys immediately shot up, and stomped over to Master.
"IS IT LUCY?" Natsu yelled.
"SHRIMP? BUNNY GIRL? RAIN WOMAN? MINI?" Gajeel shouted.
"JUUUVIIIIIIAAAAAA!" Gray cried.
"Is it… Wendy?" I carefully asked. He just nodded. Everyone packed the guild up, and ran out the door, but not as fast as Erza, who just got back from a mission. One minute she was sitting down, not touching her cake, the next she was outside with all her things packed, ready to go. "TOO FAST!" Everyone yelled. But we were almost as fast, ready to see our nakama, that have been gone too long. They took the exceeds with them (except Happy and Lily, sooo just Carla.)
An hour later, Fairy Tail arrived at the guild. Four, familiar girls were staring down from a huge building. It was bigger than our new Fairy Tail (that got destroyed by Natus when someone mention Lucy). Heck, it was probably bigger than half of Magnolia. Everyone except the boys entered the building, inspecting their new home. But the girls at the top, on the roof stayed, observing us. We stood there like idiots, and stared. They glared at us, and stood. They turned and glanced back, then jumped of the roof on the other side of the building..
"Lucy…" Natsu muttered, while Gajeel muttered something about Shrimp and Rain Woman looking taller. I stood there, with wide eyes. My heart swelled as I said a name I would never forget.
"Wendy…"
For a week Natsu, Gajeel, Gray and I were searching for the girls all over the guild. We traveled together, alone, and found nothing. Natsu managed to get into Lucy's room after he charmed Ivy, one of Lucy's new friends. Ivy was one of the many girls there. She wasn't a Dragon Slayer herself, but would probably be mistaken for one. She was gentle and sweet, but if you said one bad thing about her friends, family, guild, or really anything other than the enemy, she will turn into a demon. She and Erza got along very well. Everyone else in the guild seemed to be used to the Dragon Claw members, and even decided to move in with some of them. All the teams stayed the same, but close friendships were formed. A guy named Kimiko was Wendy's close friend. At first I got really jealous, until he said something about her being a little sister to him. I laughed at myself for getting jealous. I even told the guy. He smirked, and said, "You know, she talks about guys all the time."
"Oh yeah?" I wondered. Wendy seemed determined not to talk to me.
"Especially you." His smirk turned into laughter after my jaw dropped. His laughter stopped all of a sudden, making me confused.
"IF YOU EVER HURT HER I WILL-" He was cut off by the guild doors to the main hall swung open, and four silhouettes walked forward. Natsu knocked his chair over, Gajeel let Levy's book drop, and Gray froze everything around him. I just gaped at them as the walked in looking like they just walked in from a mission. They probably did. Wendy, I realized. I froze. She walked by, not even acknowledging me. Kimiko just slung his arm over her shoulders. She laughed and shoved him away, then turned to study me. Her eyes squinted, but she moved on. She turned and smiled at Master.
"MASTER!" She ran and tackled him in an embrace. I envied him.
"MASTER!" The other three girls ran and tackled him as well. Natsu looked confused. Lucy literally just ran past his open arms. Gajeel was shooting Levy a look, but she ignored it. Juvia ran straight over Grays ice and into Master. Matster immediately started to sob, and the girls did too.
"How are you Master?"
"Is the guild okay?"
"WE MISSED YOU!"
"Did we miss much? Where is Erza?" They bombarded him with more questions, until Erza came running into the guild.
"LUCY! LEVY! JUVIA! WENDY!" She bellowed. She charged towards them, yelling threats if they didn't embrace her, explain to her what on Edolas was going on, and why they left. They calmly stood there, and allowed Erza to squish them in a motherly hug. "I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" She yelled. They giggled, but eventually peeled her off. Everyone in the guild ran over to them. After a few hours, they eventually got everyone off their backs (because they were all drunk. Again.), except Natsu, Gajeel, Gray, and me. Even Loke managed to get drunk, although he has been sort of missing too. He barely showed up at the guild. I turned to face Wendy, who was sitting with Carla, observing everyone else. She looked amused, and like she was remembering something. I walked up to her while she was in a daze, and cleared my throat. She snapped out of it and looked up at me. She narrowed her eyes, and glared at me.
" What are you doing, talking to a weakling like me?" She snorted at the word weakling.
"Listen, Wendy, I didn't-" I started, but she cut me off by a look scary enough to rival Erza's.
"Romeo. I get that you didn't mean it, and I don't care. You hurt me in a way that can never be fixed. I acknowledge that we are guild mates now, so I do not intent to make you my enemy. Or even rival." Her face was firm, but fell a little, after saying, "I wish it could be like old times, Romeo. But, honestly, you hurt me." My heart shattered after hearing that. Before I could say anything, she nodded at Calra, and walked away. Juvia followed her, leaving a broken Gray behind. I could see that in the corner of my eye, Lucy and Levy were doing the same to Natsu and Gajeel. They left shortly, leaving a very similar expression to mine and Gray's on Natsu and Gajeel.
Natsu's POV
"Look, Luce-" I was cut off by her waving her hand.
