Wendy Marvell The Girl With Blue Hair
I never thought about girls much until the day a girl with striking dark blue hair walked into the guild hall. That was the day Wendy Marvell a Sky Dragon Slayer joined Fairytail. I was too young to talk to her back then and most of the time I was jealous of her. She spent most of her time with Natsu going on jobs and missions something; I wish I could do. That way I could learn from him and one day become as strong as him. Still despite that I could remember getting lost in thought every time I saw her. I would see her sitting at the bar with Carla who I didn't like too much but she always siting there. She always had a smile on her face it always such a pretty smile and her laugh was just as beautiful. There was a trill in her voice every time she laughed and with her every laugh her dark blue hair would sway in the wind. Catching the light with every bounce. I always wondered how her voice could trill and chime in appeasing tone even when she was talking. Even the way she smelled like sweet honeysuckle I always wondered how she could smell like that naturally. Wendy was fascinating to me and I didn't have the slightest idea as to why. I didn't dwell on that much however and for the moment everything was good. Till the day of the S-class trial I can remember standing at the docks watching her wave goodbye with her dark blue hair whipping around in the wind. I can remember the sinking feeling I felt in my stomach that day but I assumed I was just jealous of Wendy. I never imagined that would be the last time I saw that dark blue hair swaying in the wind. That was the day my world disappeared that was the day that Wendy Marvell disappeared for seven years.
Losing everyone that day on Tenroe Island devastated all the remaining members of the guild. Even after my dad became guild master keeping everyone moral up wasn't easy. Their hearts and spirit had sunk with Tenroe Island and it all went downhill from there. We lost the guild hall, we lost all the respect and Fairytail wasn't getting job requests. I remember being upset about Natsu, Gramps, and Erza the most I cared about everyone else but those three stuck with me the most. However as the years went by I started thinking about one person more and more Wendy. One day I was running some errands for my father I was helping him in any way I could to try and keep Fairytail alive. I wasn't really looking where I was going that day and somehow I ended up in front of the guild hall well our old guild hall. It felt like my heart was breaking all over again because the Fairytail flag wasn't flying high in the sky it was another flag. As I looked down I could picture Erza, Gray, Natsu, Gajeel , and Lucy all standing in front of the hall laughing smiling. The memory itself was so warm it made me smile. If I am being totally honest that was probably the first in a long time that I smiled a genuine smile. I remember watching them and seeing Wendy run out to meet them her hair bouncing around catching the light. She was smiling she always did have such a warm smile. Suddenly I felt my chest tighten it felt empty that painful type of empty.
Why did it hurt so much?
But I moved on because even though I was hoping that they would all come home someday some part of me knew they weren't ever coming back. When I got back to the guild hall that day I saw Rufus painting away muttering something about colors. All over the tables next to him were paintings of Natsu and the others of how they would look like now. I wish he would stop doing that but at the same time I hoped he wouldn't it was the only way for us to see what they would look like now. With every passing day it was like my memory of them was getting hazier and hazier and soon they would become just that a memory. But I noticed as he was muttering away he was rapidly mixing together two shades of blue and as my eyes darted up and my hands tightened. He was painting Wendy she looked taller her legs were longer and her hair it was still a vibrant and dark as ever. I felt that pain again in my chest and looked away I busied myself in my work which is what everyone sort of did these days. I was cleaning up after hours since it was only a temporary guild hall no one really took care of it. But I didn't want to the live in a pigs nest so I would clean up to help keep everyone's spirts up. As I swept up some dust I noticed that beams of moonlight were shooting in I didn't realize it was so late. I saw a glimmer of blue and as I turned I saw that a beam of moonlight was shining on the painting of Wendy. Even though it was just a painting it seemed so alive she looked so real her hair was still glimmering in the moonlight. Her eyes were shinning just the same and her smile it was still so warm and kind. I could faintly smell the scent of fresh honeysuckle and hear her laugh. But then I felt that same empty pain in my chest and my hand tightened on my broom handle. I pulled a table cloth off of one of the tables and draped it over the painting before taking it to the storage room.
Stop wishing for something that's never going to happen
I said to myself as I walked out the door weeks passed and I forgot the painting ever existed. In all honesty I felt better than I had in years. I walked along the cobblestone path bags full of food in each hand I was trying to help out my dad any way I could. But as I walked along I could smell it.
No...
It couldn't be...
Could it?
It is!
Honeysuckle it was honeysuckle mingled with the scent of sea salt and it was coming from the docks. I dropped the bags letting all the food crash down to the ground not that I cared. I ran forward nearly knocking over people before I launched forward and grab on to a handle bar of a hanging sign. I pulled myself up and launched up landing on the roof of one of the buildings. I kept running across the rooftops jumping across each one along with some chimneys. As I running along I could see the others leaping up to join me they must caught the scent as well. Granted we weren't Dragon Slayers but we were mages. As the docks came into view I leaped off another roof and plummeted landing crouched behind my father. He was standing in front me he was trembling tears streaming down his face staring straight at the sea.
"T-They've come home." He sobbed falling to his knees.
I stood up and I could feel tears rushing forward as I saw a tattered Fairytail flag flapping madly in the wind on an old boat. With Natsu, Cana and Gramps waving at the helm of the ship they were smiling. Then I saw the dash of blue leaning over the boat waving with her dark hair dancing in the ocean breeze it was Wendy. She was crying but she was smiling I felt that empty pain slowly melt away because Wendy and the others were finally home.
As they got off the ship it turned into a hugging party as Lucy got quite emotional. Natsu and Gramps were mostly concerned about the new guild hall. As we got inside it turned into one giant hug feast and eventually I got closer to Wendy who looked at me in sheer disbelief.
"R-Romeo is that you?" she asked.
I chuckled nervously I remembered that the last time she saw me was seven years ago when I was six. Now we were about the same age even though technically she was twenty but I didn't bother mentioning that.
"Yep what do you think?" I asked stupidly as I struck an awkward pose and began to mentally face palm myself for saying something so lame.
But she laughed and raised a finger to her lips before answering.
"You look a lot like Natsu it suits you." She said blushing slightly.
Why is she blushing?!
Seeing her blush made my heart jump to my throat and I felt myself start to tremble. Suddenly Gramps called everyone to attention and Wendy turned. Seeing her next to me smiling and seeing everyone else fill the guild hall I felt happy for the first time in seven years. Everyone was here filling the guild hall to brim I smiled I was finally home.
