Dear Erza,

I wanted to let you know how things are going with me since you last saw me. I know it's been a year since we parted at the Tower of Heaven; it's pretty bad it took me this long to finally write this letter. And believe me, I tried so many times to start, but it just didn't happen. I feel ready now though. Plus, with it taking so long, there is more to tell.

After we sailed away from you, we traveled for a few months together. Pretty soon though, Millianna wanted to join a guild. She found the guild Mermaid Heel and joined it. Wally was broken up about it-Mermaid Heel is an all female guild, so there was no way he could join. And he's pretty much been inconsolable ever since then.

I've tried to cheer him up; I even told him he should hang around the town so that they could still see each other, but he won't hear any of it. In his mind, he would be holding her back from her true magical potential.

Oh well.

Otherwise we have been travelling around, nowadays by land versus boat. Fiore is just a mere peninsula. There are so many other countries out there. And we're going to see them all. It's amazing to see the different cultures between the different villages, let alone when you cross the line between countries. Right now we're in a place called Spanyol, and their language is completely different. I've been able to pick up enough to get by, but Wally's miserable. He hates new languages.

Wally's main goal right now is become the best sharpshooter in the world. You should see the sight of us whenever we come to town, him yelling for people to challenge him while I do card tricks for pocket change, a place to stay, food. It's the weirdest thing ever, but hey, it works. One time when we came to a town, some jerk almost got into a fight with Wally. When I went to back him up, he ripped up some of my favorite cards. You know how long I spend making those things? It's not as easy as going to the store to buy a deck of cards, no, I have to make everyone and infuse them with their magic. Karma came back on his head though, because apparently the village was having some festival where they let out all their bulls to chase their men in the streets. Wally and I laughed so hard, we cried. That guy looked like he was about to piss himself with fear. Lucky for him he didn't get mauled.

This time.

We'll probably be here in Spanyol for a while, Wally wants to rechallenge some of the people that he's lost to. From there we'll probably move on to Franciaország a whole new language, whole new culture, and some new food.

I hope this letter finds you doing well. I keep hearing rumors about Jellal whenever I read the world newspaper. Could you tell me what's going on with that?

Give my regards to Natsu, Lucy, Juvia, Gray, and Happy for me.

I miss you big sister,

Shou

A/N: I've always wondered about Shou and what he's doing. I think it would be cool if Hiro Mashima brought him back for us.

But since he hasn't (or to my knowledge he hasn't-I just finished watching the Edolas arc) here's my perspective on some of that stuff.

I apologize if anything doesn't match up to cannon material, some of the stuff I got from the Wikia site b/c I'm not that far in the series yet.

The two countries are Spain and France in Hungarian.

I don't know if I'm going to continue this fic, I have to get farther in the anime first and then if people want me to have some more, I will keep on adding. So feel free to follow this story, but updates will be slow in coming.

I am going to have a fic exploring Mystogan post-edolas coming out soon. It's not to many chapters and there is romance! So just keep that on your radar. It will be called Good for You.
