Disclaimers: I do not own Fairy Tail.

A/N: So I'm working on Fiery Hurricane when I realize that this story had gotten a little popular since I last updated it. According to some reviews and PM, it has a unique concept to it, much like Wild Master.

Also, let's get some things straight:

1. Romeo doesn't not like Fairy Tail in this story. He likes Master Makarov, Wendy, and though it hasn't been shown yet, respects Porlyusica due to her kind of being in the same boat as him. But he dislikes Fairy Tail as a whole and for a number of the guild, the feeling is mutual, mostly because of his attitude toward them. It's because he didn't grow up in Fairy Tail and his family hasn't been exactly helpful about him changing his opinion.

2. Natsu is not his idol in this story, therefore he has a low opinion of him.

3. Romeo is kind of a dick in this story. Seeing how he is the unfavorite, can't blame him

Can't Say No To A Pretty Face

"Adam?", Romeo repeats, "That seems like a pretty ordinary name."

The man shakes his head, "Trust me, kid. I'm everything but ordinary."

Adam then looks out the window, watching the moon as it hung high in the sky, "Plus, I'm on a busy schedule so let's hurry this along", as he snapped his fingers and a white light envelope everything with Romeo's line of sight.

The loud sound of a train whistle is the next thing Romeo hears as blinding sunlight hits him in the eyes. He turns his head to the left and was astonished to see a bustling train station through the window.

In fact, far pass the station he spotted the Royal Castle of Fiore, Mercurius.

"Wait a freaking minute, we just left Magnolia a few minutes ago! It's at least a twelve-hour train ride to Crocus!", Romeo states as he snaps back to Adam who was just sitting there while sipping a martini that wasn't there before and reading the same book from earlier which he saw was entitled: War and Peace.

"Hey, are you paying attention to me?! I'm talking to you!", Romeo shouts.

"Romeo!", he hears from behind and the boy turns to see his entire family standing there with scowls on their faces with Macao in particular fuming, "Why are you disrupting this nice man?"

Macao then turns to Adam who was just now putting his book and drink down, "I apologize for my son's behavior."

Romeo was about to say something when Adam beat him to the punch, "Oh, it's no trouble. Your son has actually been keeping me company for a majority of the trip."

"He has?", Macao says, clearly not expecting an answer like that. Also because he didn't quite remember seeing Romeo talking to this man at all during the train ride but then again Macao and the rest of the Conbolt went to sleep in Magnolia and were now just waking up alongside the rest of the guild, so who knows?

"Oh yes, Romeo here is quite an intelligent young lad who has a very particular view on the world that I find most interesting", Adam went on.

"He is?", Juliet and Rosalina both says and Romeo stealthily flips them the bird.

"Quite", Adam says as he gets up and extends his hand to Macao, "Adam Primis."

Macao takes the man's hand and gives him a firm handshake, "Macao Conbolt", and he then points to the girls, "And this is my wife, Enno, and our two daughters, "Juliet and Rosalina."

Enno gives a slight nod and the twins simply wave.

"A pleasure to meet you and your family, Mr. Conbolt", he says as he tips his hat toward Enno and the girls.

"Thank you, Mr….Primis, was it?", Macao asks, "That doesn't sound like any Fiorian name that I ever heard."

"Oh, my family originates from the eastern borders of the Pergrande Kingdom", Adam explains but Romeo knew that was total crap.

"Ah, I see", Macao nods.

"Are you here on business here in the capital?", Adam asks as he finally stands up.

"We are here for the Grand Magic Games with our guild", Enno answers as she comes alongside Macao and Romeo notices that the rest of the guild was now getting off of the train though he did notice Wendy linger around a bit by the exit once she was on the platform.

"Aw, yes, the games. You know what? Despite living here, I always seem to be gone when they come around, family and business matters, mind you", Adam explains as he looks out at the crowds of people in front of the train, "In fact, this will be my first time actually being here for them."

"Well, then I hope you have a wonderful time", Macao says as he looks down at Romeo, "We must be going to catch up with our guild."

And with that Macao and the Conbolt's girls turn to exit the train leaving Romeo alone with Adam.

"You're full of shit, you know that?", Romeo says as soon as they exit, trying not to think too hard on how his entire family just left him alone with a man they just met.

"It comes with the job", Adam admitted as he walks by, "I'll be seeing you later. For now, enjoy the capital."

Romeo then watches in amazement as Adam merely claps and vanishes into thin air as if he was never there. He then notices that the book and drink had also disappeared.

The young boy from Magnolia merely stands there for a few moments taking everything that had just happen in before shaking his head and walking toward the exit, grabbing his luggage along the way, "Starting to see why some people take up drinking."

He had to admit though that he was somewhat surprised to find Wendy waiting for him as he got off the train. The fact that her little flying cat friend wasn't anywhere to be seen also caught his attention.

The boy says nothing to the girl as the two young teens walk over to where the rest of the guild was gathering up at, though he wasn't complaining about the close proximity she was to him, he actually quite enjoyed it for some reason.

Master Makarov then explain to the guild that everyone was free to tour the city but had to be back at the hotel by midnight as the rules state.

"Hey, Romeo", Wendy whispers, while Makarov was still talking

"Yeah?", he answers as he turns to her seeing that listening was pointless because the rules of the game didn't apply to him.

"Do you want to go check out the city with me?", she asks while trying to beat back the blush that was developing on her face and the boy across from her arches an eyebrow.

"What, like a date? Are you asking me out on a date? ", Romeo questions, causing the dragon-slayer to lose her ongoing battle as now her face was more lit up than a street light.

"W-W-Well, n-not exactly!", Wendy stutters out as literal steam began to flow out of her ears, "Maybe just the two of us, alone, walking around and taking in the s-s-sights!"

Romeo pauses for a moment before answering, trying hard to think of a polite way of telling Wendy no when he spots something unusual behind her.

In fact, all around her as he once again realizes that time was frozen still and the girl was stuck staring at Romeo with a embarrass expression.

"This is going to be an ongoing thing with you, isn't it?", Romeo says to no one in particular. Moments later, Adam appears in front of him, reading a brochure that had on the cover in big bold letters:

Visit The Crocus Gardens Today

"Did you know that the cherry blossoms are in full bloom this time of year?", Adam says without looking up, "I hear they make the gardens a great place to go on your first date."

"What makes you assume I'm going to the gardens or anywhere besides the hotel to lie down?", Romeo questions.

"What?", Adam says as he puts the pamphlet away and leans over next to the frozen Wendy, "You're going to say no to a face like this?"

Romeo couldn't help but dislike the fact that Adam was way too close to Wendy for his liking.

"Look at her, she's like a puppy with those big brown eyes and you want to crush her hopes and dreams? Jesus Christ, I have no idea how that other you with the dragon inside of him has five girls chasing after him especially when he is basically you?"

"What did you say?", Romeo asks after making sure he heard that correctly, "What did you mean other me and a dragon?"

"Wait", Adam starts saying to himself, "Is it the other you with the dragon inside of him or the other you who has a different dragon as a familiar? Or maybe it's the one where the dragon trains you."

"Hey! Talking to you here!", Romeo shouts, hating that he was ignored.

"Or is it the one where you're dating that pink-hair girl? Or maybe the one where you're with the girl next door? You and the Phoenix? Oh well, anyway", Adams shrugs before turning his attention back to the boy, " Go on this little tour of the city with the girl and I'll tell you more along the way but first..."

Adam takes off his glove and puts his hand out to Romeo.

The boy stares at it for a moment before looking back at Adam.

"What? You don't shake hands?", Adam asks.

"Last time I touch you I went from being in front of my house to falling from the sky", Romeo reminded him.

"Oh, stop being so dramatic. You're alive, aren't you?", Adam grumbles as he grabs Romeo's hand and strange energy began to flow into him.

Romeo yanks his hand back and steps away from Adam, "What the hell did you just do?"

Adam simply twirls his hand before putting his glove back on, "Nothing much, just gave you the ability to slow down time."

"Huh?", Romeo says, confuses by what he just heard, "You what?"

"It's a typical starting ability for all trainees. Relatively harmless for the most part, but quite useful", Adam explain, "Don't worry, because you're new at this I put it on easy mode and it will activate whenever you need it to and will turn off whenever you feel like it."

"Once again, huh?", Romeo says.

"Don't think too hard on it, it will all come naturally but for now you're on training wheels. Try not to cause too much trouble, okay? Catch you later", Adam says as he snaps his fingers and vanishes and Romeo see the world around him start up again.

"Romeo? Romeo?", Wendy says while waving a hand in his face, "You okay there?"

Romeo shakes himself out of his trance and turns his attention to the girl, "Yeah, I'm fine."

"So do you want to go with me?", Wendy asks once again, this time while nervously fidgeting with her hands.

Romeo mentally rolls his eyes, "Yeah, I'll go. Sounds like fun."

Wendy lets out a small squeal before quickly covering her mouth up causing Romeo to arch an eyebrow at her. She then coughs a little before speaking, "Great, we can get going after everyone leaves."

"Oooooookay then", the boy replies before listening in on Master Makarov finishing his speech.

"Now don't go breaking stuff around the capital, we're here on a budget!", the old man screams and with that, the group disperses while Romeo rendezvous with his family.

"I going with the old man to check Fairy Tail in at the hotel. Once Wakaba is done making sure that Millgana and Lindsay are settled in at their hotel he is going to meet up with us so we can register the guild for the games. ", Macao tells Enno, "What are you and the girls going to be doing?"

"We're going to check out the sight around the city maybe stop in at the dance theater and beauty salon", she answers before turning her attention to Romeo, "Is Romeo coming along with you and Wakaba?"

"Actually, no", Romeo answers before his father could, "I'm going to be walking around with Wendy."

Macao, Enno, Juliet, and Rosalina, all turn their heads and stare at Romeo with perplex looks on their faces.

"What? She invited me", he then turns to Macao, "Or are you going to say I can't go with her?"

Macao looks over where Wendy was currently standing a few feet away talking /arguing with Carla, no doubt about the fact the young dragon-slayer wanted to walk around the capital alone with a boy she knew so little about. He then stares back down at his son who had a slight smile on his lips.

"Fine, but you two better be at the hotel by midnight and don't go causing problems", Macao says.

"No promises", Romeo yells as he walks away toward Wendy, internally jumping for joy that he got one over on his dad as he went over to meet up with dragon-slayer. He passes by a glaring Carla but pays no mind to her as he and Wendy make a beeline for the market place.

Right before he ran into a wall of solid muscle.

Romeo rolls his eyes and curses under his breath as he stares up into the eyes of Natsu and Gray.

"Can I help you with something?", he asks annoyed that he was being held up by who he considers two of the biggest idiots at Fairy Tail, a huge accomplishment seeing who was in the guild. This is mostly because he was always hearing about the amount of damage these guys cause while on jobs from his dad and a few times, he has witnessed it first-hand.

Both the Fire Dragon-Slayer and Ice-Make Mage stare down at Romeo with looks that the boy would akin to hostile while Wendy was now shaking in terror next to Romeo, looking back between him and the two mages she considered her brothers.

"You better not try anything funny with Wendy while you go around the city", Gray said and Romeo found himself snorting as he tries to hold back from full-on laughing.

"Yeah, because I'm going to trying something with the girl who could easily rip my arm off if she wanted to!", Romeo states causing Wendy to gasp.

"I would never do that!", Wendy fume as puffs out her cheeks out.

"I was just joking, relax", Romeo tells her before turning his attention back to Natsu and Gray, "Am I free to go now? I mean, don't you guys have a town to destroy or a fight to start with each other over the dumbest of reasons, like one of you breathing too hard?"

Natsu glare at Romeo so hard that the boy swore he saw slits form in his eyes, but it was Gray who made a move at him and reaches a hand out to grab his shirt.

Or he would have if within a blink of an eye he was moving slower than the school clock when Romeo wants to go home.

"What the hell?", Romeo thought as he simply moves out the way of Gray's hand and watches it harmlessly go by, though this took several moments to happen.

He directs his attention to the two dragon-slayers while Gray was still in motion and notice that neither one of them has moved. Natsu was still glaring down even though Romeo had vacated from the spot he was glaring at and Wendy still had her cheeks puff out from his earlier comment, though it was slowing starting to change to a look of worry.

"Wow", was all that escape his mouth as he takes in his surroundings. The mad rush of the crowd had trickled down to a simmer and Romeo sees the public fountain slowly shooting up sprouts of water. He could see the tiny droplets as the stream broke apart due to the works of gravity and watches bit by bit as they came crashing down into the pool beneath. He looks to the sky and sees a flock of birds flying overhead, their wings beating so slowly that he could easily count the feathers on them. He turns his focus to the train he arrived on which was now starting to depart. The puffs of smoke were gradually coming out of engine car at a turtle's pace and the conductor was taking multiple seconds to merely jump from the platform back on the train car.

He takes a look at his family and sees his mom and sisters sluggishly wave goodbye to his father and Wakaba as they made their way toward the markets, their hands taking the time it took to make popcorn just to go back and forth one time.

"Whoa, he wasn't kidding about slowing down time", Romeo tell himself.

Within moments everything sped back up and Gray is tumbling forward into thin air, struggling to catch his balance before he falls. He quickly scans the area around him and finds Romeo a few feet to his right, staring at him with a look that easily conveys the message that he was unimpressed by the Ice-Make mage.

Again, Gray tries to grab Romeo and again the boy somehow moves out of the way quicker than Gray thought he could. He does this three more times and all three attempts equal the same result as the first.

"Wow, are you usually this slow? Thought you were supposed to be a powerful mage or something? You try out for the S-Class exams, right, or are those just a joke?", Romeo says while trying his hardest to keep from laughing, "Wow, this slow down time thingy is pretty cool. I can only imagine the things I could get away with now, especially at school!"

Gray could feel his blood rising with ever smart remark Romeo made, "You better watch your mouth, kid, or I'll..."

"You'll what? Impale me with an ice spike in public?", Romeo smirks, knowing full well he was pushing his luck but continuing anyway, "Putting the legal consequences aside, the fact remains that my dad is still technically the guild master on paper until the Magic Council recognizes Grandpa Makarov and there is no way he would overlook such an offense, least favorite child or not!"

Gray was now clenching his fist, wanting nothing more than to pummel it into Romeo's face, but unfortunately the boy was right. It was public knowledge at the guild that Romeo was the least loved of the Conbolt triplets but he was still Macao and Enno's son and they would not be so forgiving if Gray attacked him, especially with magic.

"Whatever", is all Gray could say in defeat, trying his hardest not to lose face in front of the boy or his nearby rival.

But both Natsu and Wendy had confused looks on their faces, clearly baffled by what they just witness. Romeo completely evades Gray's grabs and from what they saw, most likely without even trying. Now Natsu wasn't Gray's biggest fan but he knew for a fact that Gray was not slow. He could keep up with the Fire Dragon-Slayer in a fight and knows full well that he has taken on the likes of Racer and Jet, mages who are well-known to rely on magic that either speeds them up or slows those around them down.

So the fact that Romeo was easily dodging him did nothing but confuse the dragon-slayer.

Also, he wasn't the only one who witnesses this. Ezra and Lucy were currently staring dumbfounded at the scene in front of them. When they witness Natsu and Gray towering over Romeo while glaring at him, they instantly knew that the two of them were going to try something stupid so they made their way over to stop them.

But to see Romeo, a non-mage, completely brush off Gray's first attempt to get a hold of him made them pause. So much that they kept standing there for the Ice-Make mages four other attempts.

"Hey, Ezra", Lucy asks while still looking ahead.

"Yes, Lucy", the Queen of the Fairies answers.

"From what I heard from his family, Romeo gets into a lot of fights at school, right?", Lucy says as she finally turns to look at her friend who nods in reply.

"I have heard this as well", Ezra says.

"Do you think that's enough for him to be able to react faster than Gray?", Lucy finishes and Ezra could only shake her head and shrug.

"Anything it possible", Ezra answers.

Back with Romeo who was now having a second glaring contest with Gray and Natsu. It was during this time that Wendy makes an attempt to quell the tension in the air between the three boys.

"Romeo and I are just going to take a walk around the market and the Crocus Gardens afterward, that's all!", she waves her hands frantically hoping to calm down the two more impulsive members of her team.

"Yeah, it's just going to be us walking around", Romeo adds before pointing behind the duo, "Besides, if you keep this crap up you'll have to deal with her."

"Oh, please", Natsu comments as he brushes Romeo's warning off, "Like we're going to fall for the -gak!", as he and Gray suddenly feel a dark presence behind them and slowly turn to see Mira smiling at them while releasing a dark aura that engulfed them.

"Now you two wouldn't be trying to stop Wendy and Romeo from having some time to themselves now, would you?", Mira asks as the stone road underneath starts to crack from the pressure she was putting down on it. She had overheard Wendy conversation with Romeo earlier and nearly leaped for joy when the boy agreed to go with her. She had high hopes for these two and she be damned if Natsu and Gray were going to mess it up for her.

Wendy watches on as both Natsu and Gray cowered before Mira before suddenly feeling a hand take hold of her and turns to see that it was Romeo's.

"I think we better get going before it gets messy", he tells her.

Wendy looks back once more at a frighten Natsu and Gray and see Lucy and Ezra advancing on them as well.

"I think you're right", she says and the two kids take off at a brisk walk toward the marketplace with Romeo wondering what mischief he was going to get himself into with this new ability while Wendy was glowing red as she kept looking down at their still connected hands and muttering incoherent sentences. The two of them push through the throng of people that were going about their day and seem to disappear into the masses to the untrained eye.

That is except for one.

Watching the two of them make their way through the crowds from atop a nearby building was Adam, eyeing the scene with fondness.

"Ah, young love. I envy the boy for I never had a chance like that with Eve", he says to himself, "Wonder if things would have turn out differently if we were given that opportunity."

He keeps an eye on them for a few more moments before shaking his head, "Oh well, no point dwelling on such thoughts", as snaps his fingers and a golden pocket watch materialize out of thin air into the palm of his hand and he takes a gander at it.

"Three hours", he says, "They will have three hours to themselves before the real fun begins. Let's see what you can get up into until then, shall we, Romeo?"

A/N: Next Chapter: Romeo and Wendy have fun in the capital and Romeo faces his first test while Adam guides him through it. Also, yes, Adam has been to other planes of existence where other Romeos' exist that so happen to be the setting for my other stories.

Also, don't think Romeo's new power is OP. It's nothing compared to what he will do in the future and it will not always help him in a fight. Remember, he is now just starting his training with Adam.

Also, Primis means "first" in Latin
