It was a beautiful summer day at the Fairy Tail guild. The sun was shining in a cloudless sky, a soft breeze bringing the gentle scent of flowers from the nearby rose garden to the nose of a young dragon slayer sitting on a bench outside. Despite the sunny skies, her eyes contained a storm of frustration as she slumped back and stared up into the endless blue. She was deep enough in thought that even with her enhanced sense of hearing, she didn't notice someone approaching her until they spoke.

"Is something wrong, Wendy?" the newcomer asked, seating himself beside her on the bench. The girl's eyes flicked over to meet his blue ones.

"Oh, hi Romeo," Wendy sighed, straightening up again. "I'm okay, just..."

"Just what?" Romeo prodded, leaning in, his eyes wide. Wendy rubbed her temples in frustration.

"Do you ever feel like you don't get much respect because you're young?" she asked, looking down at her lap. "Because sometimes I feel like no one could ever take me seriously. I mean... Well, just look at me!" Romeo blinked in surprise.

"What about it?" he asked, looking the girl up and down. Wendy's cheeks darkened.

"Well, I'm just so... Just so... Small, and timid..." she trailed off, her hands clasped in her lap. "I want to be more strong and commanding, like Natsu or Gajeel. But I'm just... me."

Romeo nudged her shoulder, giving the girl a half-smile. "Well hey, there's nothing wrong with being you, huh?" he said. When Wendy didn't reply, he leaped from the seat to stand before her. "Besides, you're a dragon slayer! They're the toughest of the tough! There's no one who could be stronger than you!" He proclaimed, punching the air for effect. Wendy cast him a doubtful look.

"My magic is much better suited for healing, it's not really all that tough..."

Romeo huffed, blowing a lock of hair from his face. "Yeah, well, what's so bad about that? We fighters need someone to patch us up when we're hurt; otherwise we wouldn't be able to fight more!" Wendy's hands clenched into fists on her lap.

"Well I wanna be a fighter too! I'm tired of running away and always crying! I want to fight along with everyone else!"

Romeo could see the streak of a tear running down the girl's chin, and for a moment could not think of what to say. Then, he nudged Wendy again, giving her a wicked grin. "Well the way I see it, if you wanna be a fighter then you've gotta show a little bite!" Wendy shook her head.

"I don't know how..." she sighed, slumping back in her seat.

With the grin still on his face, Romeo reached over and tugged on one of the girl's ponytails. Wendy snapped her head up, fixing him with a withering glare.

"What do you think you're doing?" she grumbled, swatting his hand away. Romeo simply continued to grin, tugging her ponytail again. She gritted her teeth in annoyance, pulling her hair away from him. "Hey, stop it!" she cried, glaring even harder. The boy reached out for her ponytail once more.

Quick as a flash, Wendy grabbed his outstretched arm and pulled him towards her, flipping him easily over her shoulder with her enhanced dragon slayer strength. "I said stop it!" she growled as the boy tumbled over the bench.

Romeo landed with a thud and a groan. Wendy's eyes widened as she hurried around the bench, checking the boy over worriedly. "Oh, I'm sorry Romeo, I didn't mean to pull you that hard..." she apologized, feeling his arm to make sure it wasn't broken. Romeo's face was down in the grass, and she could hear him making a muffled coughing noise. "Are you okay?" she asked, pushing him over onto his back gently. As she turned him, she could hear that he wasn't coughing, but laughing! Color immediately rose in her cheeks as she pulled away from him.

Romeo sat up, his laughter getting louder as he wiped dirt off his cheek. "Well, see? You've got a little bite in you after all! Someone's just gotta get it out!" Wendy's blush grew darker and she turned away from him, standing and brushing imaginary wrinkles from her dress. Romeo's grin resumed its wicked nature. "Ya know, there's something kind of attractive about having a lady toss you so easily over her shoulder," he teased. Wendy shot him a glare, which just made him laugh. "I'm kidding, kidding! Gosh! But really though, you're not a weakling, obviously. So don't worry about it, okay?"

Wendy's glare softened as she looked him over. Before she could change her mind, she leaned over and gave Romeo a soft peck on the cheek. Now it was his turn to turn red. "I still think I've got some work to do... But thanks for the help, Romeo," she said softly, then turned and strode into the guild, a bit of new pride in the way she held her shoulders. Romeo touched his cheek lightly where she'd kissed him as he watched her walk away, and let out a groan as he thought about how sore his shoulder was now.

Between the way she can throw me and the way she makes my head spin... That girl just may be the death of me.
