Author's note: Hey guys I'm back with the 10th chapter of END and Natsu. I kind of left you guys with a cliff hanger last time, hehe. But don't worry the next chapter is here so enjoy!
Chapter 10: Levy's Duplication Spell
There was silence for a second…
"We could duplicate her!" He said.
"HUH?!"
"Look Flame-brain I'll say it again, but this time in way for someone as oblivious as you can understand." Etho-Natsu said. "I AIN'T A FLAME-BRAIN, UNLIKE YOU!" Natsu fired back. "SHUT UP! You're making a scene!" He whisper-yelled. "Tch, fine." Natsu agreed. "Any way, basically we find a way to make another Wendy, so you have one and I have one." Etho-Natsu explained. "But that isn't right. We did that to us for a reason, but how do you expect us to do it to Wendy, she doesn't have a demonic side like I did." Natsu said. "Remember we're from 400 hundred years ago, you never know if the same thing that happened to you could've happened to her." Etho-Natsu said. "You know you got a point, but we'll talk about this later, Wendy might think we totally forgot this whole dance. So let's hurry up!" Natsu said. Etho-Natsu nodded and left to try on his outfit, Natsu did the same.
~After trying on a thousand outfits~
"Ok Pinkie I'm finished, are you?" Etho-Natsu asked. "IT'S SALMON! And yes I'm done Pyro." Natsu said. Etho-Natsu huffed in annoyance and went to pay for their outfits.
"Finally let's go before we're- OH MY GOSH WE ONLY HAVE AN HOUR LEFT, WE BETTER GET TO THE CASTLE AND FAST!" Natsu called out as he looked at his watch. "Calm down Fire-eater we'll get there in time, and I'm sure our entrance will be unforgettable." He said with a smrik as Natsu did the same after realizing what he meant.
~Mercurious' Ballroom, Wendy's POV~
"I know I'm an hour early so I can help set up, but I wonder where Natsu-san and Etho-Natsu are. They've been shopping for hours, and I thought I took long." I thought. "Hey Wendy you shouldn't worry so much about Natsu and Etho-Natsu." Said a familiar scarlet haired girl. "Erza-san? Jellal-san? I thought you were on a job!" I questioned. "Well the king invited most of the guilds from the Grand Magic Games including us to join Princess Hisui's birthday." Jellal-san explained. "Really? That's amazing!" I said cheerfully. "By any chance do you know where Levy-san is?" I asked. "Yes. She's with Lucy, Gajeel and Loke." Erza-san said. "Thank you Erza-san!" I exclaimed.
Afterwards I walked over to where Levy-san and the others were.
"Hi Levy-san!" I greeted. "Hi Wendy, how have you and the boys been?" Levy-san asked with a smirk. "Yeah how have you guys been?" Lucy-san asked with a smirk as well. My face started heating up. "U-Um t-that's exactly w-what I wanted to t-talk to you about." I stuttered. "What's wrong Wendy?" Lucy-san asked me. "Y-You see I like both Natsu-san and Etho-Natsu-san, but I just can't tell one of them because either way I'd be hurting someone." I tried explaining. "Oh, I understand." Lucy-san said. "That's why I was thinking if you could make a duplicate of me or merge Natsu-san with Etho-Natsu-san again." Wendy asked. "I can't merge Etho-Natsu with Natsu again, but there's one thing that could be possible." Levy-san said as she looked at Lucy-san. "Should we tell her Lu-chan?" Levy-san asked Lucy-san. "Yes Levy-chan." Lucy-san agreed.
"Wendy there's a small possibility that you could be and Etherious." Levy-san said.
"W-What?" I questioned.
~Erza's POV~
"I'm listening in Wendy's conversation with Levy and Lucy, and so is Jellal. Ah Jellal~ WAIT WHAT AM I THINKING, HE PROBABLY DOESN'T RETURN MY FEELINGS! But still I wish he did." I thought. "Erza, you there? The king is about to make announcement." Jellal said. "O-Oh okay." I stuttered as blush made its way to my face.
"May I have your attention please?" The king said as everyone silenced themselves. "First of all I'd like to wish my darling Hisui a very happy birthday." He said as everyone applauded. "And second I will be giving my position as king to….."
As the doors behind king Toma opened it revealed two familiar salmon haired boys, both with matching outfits.
"None other than Natsu Dragneel and Etherious Natsu Dragneel!" The king calls out.
Everyone sweat dropped with shock in their eyes except for the ones who knew.
"HUH!?" They all called out.
"They g-got to be l-lying, right?" Gray said. "I'm sorry Gray-san, but it's true." Wendy said.
"WITH THEM IN CHARGE WHO KNOWS WHAT'LL HAPPEN!" Gray called out.
Natsu and Etho-Natsu just smirked at Gray since they were trying to intimidate him, but of course they mean no harm….or so they thought.
"THOSE 2 DOBBLE GANGERS WILL TOTALLY DO SOMETHING, I JUST KNOW IT!" Lucy called out.
"WOULD ALL OF YOU SHUT UP?!" I called out which scared everyone.
"W-WE'RE S-SORRY ALL POWERFUL ERZA!" Everyone called out except for Jellal.
"Now everyone please calm down, they would of course have royal advisors so they will be advised and stuff. So no need to be nervous and scared." Arcadios said. "Personally I think they'd make amazing rulers!" Hisui said.
"Ahem, the coronation will be in 3 days and I'd like for you to all be there. And before that day comes both Natsu and Etho-Natsu must have a date."
"Oh no…." Wendy thought. "Hey Wendy-chan its ok, Natsu-nii and Etho-Natsu-nii will probably choose you of course." Romeo said. "Yeah….but in the end someone will be hurt." Wendy said as her bangs covered her eyes.
"Hey Wen, you alright." Etho-Natsu asked. "Oh, Etho-Natsu. Yeah…..I'm fine." Wendy said. "You look upset, what's wrong?" Etho-Natsu asked. "Can we go outside on the balcony?" Wendy asked. "S-Sure." He replied.
"Something's up, she doesn't normally act like this. I hope it wasn't me or Natsu."Etho-Natsu thought.
~Outside, Etho-Natsu's POV~
"So….What's wrong?" I ask. "It's just that…..how would you feel if two people asked you to a dance….but you're afraid if you say yes to one of them…you'll be hurting the other." Wendy explained. "Now I understand. You're worried that if I ask you and Natsu asks you as well to the dance….you'll be worried that you'll be breaking one of our hearts." I said. "Y-Yes." She said as her eyes became watery. "I-I'm s-sorry I'm crying. I p-probably l-look so weak." Wendy said as she cried harder.
"I hate seeing Wendy cry, it makes go insane. I'm pretty sure Natsu feels the same too. How the hell am I going to fix this?" I thought.
I ran up to her and embraced her. I also planted a kiss on her head since she was shorter than me.
"Wendy, please don't cry. I really hate seeing you like this. And I hate that it's me and Natsu who are bringing you to tears." I said. "P-Please, d-don't blame yourselves." Wendy choked out. "BUT IT'S OUR FAULTS AGAIN!" I called out as tears streamed down my face onto Wendy's hair. "Etho-Natsu, p-please don't cry." Wendy said quietly.
Just then, Natsu showed up, and realized she was crying.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED, DID YOU DO THIS!?" Natsu questioned in pure anger.
"No…..It was both of us."
