I'm doing this for a couple reasons one I liked the original but I felt like I made a bunch of mistakes that held it back and I want to fix it. The second is that the fic is a couple years old now and it's one of my personal favorites. The fans of my other two on going fics don't worry I'm still working on them.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail but I do own the OCs.
The two youngest wizards in Fairy Tail, even after it had disbanded and got back together, were Romeo Conbolt and Wendy Marvel who were fourteen and thirteen respectively. Since the two were close in age and hung out around the same people, it was not long before they started to form a friendship. Not long after that, the two started to go out on jobs together although Carla still had some reservations about that. The two were a good team having a sort of connection that led some, mostly Mira, into joking and teasing them about being a couple but the two would always franticly deny it.
One somewhat peaceful day in the guildhall, a boy, looking around the same age as the two, walked into the guild with the master. He had fair skin dark eyes and black hair; he wore black pants a dark blue shirt and had an average build. Romeo and Wendy had wanted to add a new member to their little team and this boy seemed like a good option. After a quick conversation with Master Makarov, the boy took a seat at a table by himself and the other two young wizards took this opportunity to approach him. "Hi," Wendy greeted, "I'm Wendy and this is my friend Romeo it's nice to meet you."
The boy cracked a small smile but it did not seem completely sincere, "I'm Izo Tatsuo; it's nice to meet you too. I've heard of you guys the youngest duo in Fairy Tail."
"It's always nice to meet a fan you want an autograph," Romeo joked.
"Real funny, so what do you guys need from me?"
"Well," Wendy began, "we were wondering if you wanted to come on a job with us; Romeo and I have been sort of looking for a third member for our team."
"You guys barley know me and you're willing to make that kind of offer?"
"Fair enough," Romeo agreed, "how old are you, where do you live and what kind of magic do you use?"
"I'm fourteen where I live is none of your business and I use ice magic."
"Well, that's all I need to know. What about you Wendy?" She nodded showing that she was also satisfied, "So it's unanimous. What do you say Izo are you in?"
"Sure, so long as I'm not the third wheel."
Izo's comment made both Romeo and Wendy blush and they both immediately denied the claim. The three of them decided on what they thought looked like an easy job. The flier described how a group of forest Vulcans was tormenting a small town and said town needed the problem gotten rid of. The job paid well so all three of them were eager to head to the small town. They did not expect the job to take long so the group decided to take some jewel with them for the train tickets, the inn, and some food. On the way to the station, Izo decided to stay quite while Romeo and Wendy talked about strategy. "It seems pretty simple to me all we have to do is trap them and relocate them somewhere they can't cause any damage." Romeo suggested.
"It sounds like a good plan but we have no idea how many of them there are we might not be able to trap them," Wendy pointed out.
"Doesn't matter if there are ten or thirty I can trap them all no problem," Izo stated.
Izo's statement had Romeo skeptical, "How the heck are you going to do that?" Instead of answering he just gave coy smile before walking ahead of them, "I've got a weird feeling about this guy."
While Romeo caught up to the other boy Wendy just looked, "Well, I'm getting a good feeling about him."
The train ride to the town was a rather unusual one. During the year, that the guild was apart, Wendy developed the Dragon Slayer's trademark motion sickness so Romeo got into the habit of using his yellow flame to knock her out until the ride was over. At this point in their partnership he was used to that in fact he sort of liked in since sometimes she would rest her head on his shoulder what he thought was weird was the fact that Izo was staring at the ground during the whole ride. The boy did not strike Romeo as the nervous but he decided not to mention it.
The train ride was relatively short, only taking about an hour or two but when the trio stepped out the town was already in shambles. The main road was badly damaged while some building looked like they were on the verge of collapse. Since it was obvious that they had missed the Vulcans the three of them decided to speak to the mayor who was the person that hired them in the first place. At first he was a bit surprised that they were so young but since they were from Fairy Tail he did not really see their age as much of a problem. He told them that the Vulcans had been causing all sorts of trouble and reeking all kinds of havoc. He also explained that they came out of the forest around the same time every day and returned to forest once they got bored. Some of the town's people actually found the area where the Vulcans lived but none of them were actually foolish enough to try and drive them out by force given that there were about twenty of the menacing creatures.
With nothing left to do the three young wizards decided to check into the local inn and try and figure out what to do next. Surprisingly, the inn was in relatively good condition with only small amounts of noticeable damage. The room they were given was a decent size with a bathroom, two beds and a love seat the latter of which Izo volunteered to sleep in while the others took the beds. Izo was the first to use the bathroom while Romeo and Wendy discussed the details of their plan.
"I think now that we know where they are why don't we just try and force them out of here," Romeo suggested setting his first on fire for emphasis.
Wendy could not help but giggle at her over eager teammate, "And I think you've been hanging around Natsu too much. Besides what's wrong with our original plan of trying to trap them?"
"Well there are twenty and we don't even know what this Izo guy can do. It just seems like the safer option."
"Really, you think it's safer to change head first into a group of twenty Vulcans than trying to trap them?"
"Well when you put it like that."
It was at that moment that Izo stepped out of the bathroom drying his hair with a towel, "Bathroom's free." Wendy wasted no time getting up and entering the bathroom while the two boys were left alone. "You know my ears are pretty good so I could actually hear everything you said." This comment made Romeo a bit nervous. "Don't get me wrong I get why you don't trust me I'm new, I'm secretive and you barely know me."
"It's not that I don't trust you." Romeo corrected, "I do trust you, you're a part Fairy Tail and that makes you family."
"So why do you doubt what I say I can do?"
"Well, it takes a lot to handle one Vulcan let alone twenty I don't want Wendy getting hurt just for you to show off and possibly fail."
"You know for a guy who's not her boyfriend you're really protective," Izo pointed out smirking
"Hey just because I'm not her boyfriend doesn't mean I don't care about her. She's my best friend."
"Whatever you say," Izo said climbing into bed smirking at the red faced Romeo.

On a lighter note to fans of the original "The Youngest Team" I am going to be making a few changes some big some small. I do not want this to be a simple rewrite where there are less mistakes.
