Chapter 7: Found You
Fifteen minutes 'til noon.
Wendy and Romeo ran backstages, where a curtain and several guards were covering the insides of it. "We need to go in!" exclaimed Wendy at one of the guards.
"No can do. Nobody is allowed in" said the guard.
"But Asuka's there! She must've gotten inside for accident!"
The guard looked at Romeo, "Asuka? The black haired girl with the cowboy hat?"
Oh. Oh. Oh. OH. FINALLY!
Wendy's heart filled with extreme joy and happiness. They had found her! They had found her!
"Yes! That's her! Would you please let us in?" the dragon slayer asked.
The guard who resembled a lot the guy in the candy shop looked at both of the children in front of him. "Sorry, nobody ca-"
"Oh, Garu!" a cheerful, familiar voice exclaimed inside the curtain. "Garu, Garu, Garu" when the curtain was opened, what they first saw was a great amount of blue hair. Then yellow eyes, that were pretty similar to Natsu's. Saphira's actress was standing in front of them. "Oh, hi, strangers!" she waved at them.
"H-Hello" muttered Wendy, surprised by the sudden appearance of her favorite character of the play.
"Hi. Would you please let us in? We're friends with Asuka and we have to get her home" Romeo quickly said to the smiling woman.
"Of c-"
"WENDY! ROMEO!" Natsu's voice shouted from behind. He was dragging Lucy behind him as they run through the public that was still clapping and cheering, but yet slowing going away. He stood still when he saw the blue haired actress, who was grinning the same way he did. "You!
"Me! Hi, third stranger! And fourth too! And may I say, stranger number four, you are really pretty!" as the yellow-eyed said this, Lucy's cheeks gained a little color.
"T-Thanks"
"You turned into a dragon!"
She smiled greatly, "I did!" her hand turned into a claw with the flick of her hand. It was a dragon hand filled with blue and gray scales.
"WOW!" exclaimed Natsu and Romeo at the same time.
"Mh!" she nodded happily "I'm a mage, and so are the four of you!"
"But how did you do it? Transformation magic?"
She shook her head. "Nope! Well, kinda, bu-"
"Summer!" she turned to look at the guard who apparently his name was Garu.
"What?"
"You can't say that"
Summer sighed, "You and your rules! Come on, free yourself a little! That's why you'll never be an actor!" she pouted
"Thank god. I wouldn't like showing off my magic to everyone else an-"
Wendy looked from one another, it was really soon until noon. She had to have Asuka in her arms before that. "Excuse me!" Romeo interrumpted.
Summer turned. "Oh, yes! I'll take you to Asuka. You must be Romeo, right? She wouldn't stop talking about you, and how you guided her through town, and said you wanted to take her to the candy shop, and this play you've been waiting for and how you lik-"
"Oh! Is that right?!" interrumpted Romeo once again, suddenly his cheeks reddened. "Could we please see her? We need to take her home"
"Oww... I want her for me! She's so cute!" she said as she pouted and opened the curtain for them to come in. "Honestly, we let her come in and see from the best place. Then she lended me her hat, and said I looked pretty on it! Isn't that adorable?" she told the four of them while walking through a dark place with a lots of bumps like it was nothing. "Oh, be careful with that!" she said, not even turning around as Wendy got too close to one of the bumps. "It's made of crystal"
"S-Sorry!"
"Nah, it's fine!" she continued talking. "So, about my magic, now that mister rules isn't here. Well, practically, I'm able to copy whatever my mind thought was the most amazing thing. Since I've been seven I have been able to turn any part of my body into a dragon part, either being hand, toes or just eyes and ears" she turned around and had dragon ears, "See?" she shook her head and her normal ears were back.
"Awesome. So, you saw a real dragon?"
"Didn't tell nobody but the people here, I knew some crazy woman did that and ended up making all her town invisible. It's was so... Beautiful. I love it. I keep the dragon eyes all the time, and yes, my hair is naturally blue. And I guess yours is naturally salmon, right?" she said, looking at Natsu, and turning back again.
"Salmon"
"Didn't I just say that?" she turned once again while dodging a box full of costumes falling from above, looking confused at the dragon slayer.
"Oh, yeah. Sorry, just-"
"Habit? Used to it being confused?"
"Yeah"
She nods, "Happens with my normal eyes. Didn't you notice we're pretty similar?" she asked, looking at Natsu.
"Yeah!"
Summer laughed, "Okay! Asuka should be near somewhere, let me look for her, stay here"
"Natsu-san..." said Wendy, looking through the dark at him.
"Hmm...?"
"You did notice she's hitting on you, right?" said angry and quickly Lucy... Wait.. Was it jealousy?
"What? No! She saw a dragon, I saw a dragon. She has something that people confuse her about, I have something that people confuse about. My name in Japanese means Summer, her name is Summer. She's just stating the truth. We have things in common" he shrugged.
"Natsu, come on!"
"Then, what if she did?" he said.
Lucy's glare was able to be felt in the air. "Then- I don't know! Just admit it!"
"Why? It doesn't concern you!"
"Ah-" she began to say, but then shut up.
Obviously this wasn't something of one fight. Summer came back, throwing small flames through her mouth to iluminate a bit, her lips were blue with scales, almost like lipstick. In her arms, a sleeping Asuka.
Wendy let go a sigh filled with relief she seemed to be holding since the beginning of this day. Her eyes got teared up, even after all she had gone through this last years, all the fights and horrible moments, this small thing had gotten her so worried, and now that it had finally ended, she was extremely happy.
Wendy walked towards Summer and Asuka, and grabbed the little girl. "Asuka..?" she called to wake her up, touching her right cheek with one finger.
"Mhmh...?" replied Asuka, in her arms, opening her big eyes.
Wendy's smile grew. "Found you"
