Hello ladies and gentlemen~

Remember this story? Well, my computer died. Yup. Straight out died. It took me months, until just recently, to get a new one.

And now this story needs to be continued. After I'm done writing this one, I'm going to go back and try to fix some of the mistakes in the last ones (Writing them on a bus means that my concentration wasn't all there. Tons of grammar mistakes)

Anyways, I apologize for the VERY long wait, but without further ado, here's the next chapter in this story, Rues' interview of Wendy!

"Please forgive the intrusion!"

The young, blue-haired girls bowed in the entryway of the room as soon as she walked in. After telling her that it was silly of her to say that, as this is merely a room in her guild, I asked her to take her seat.

"So, miss Marvell, please introduce yourself."

"Oh, okay. Umm, my name is Wendy Marvell, I'm 12 years old, and I'm a mage of Fairy Tail."

I smile. She doesn't seem too odd, which is a nice change of pace. With weirdos like Bickslow, Juvia, and a friggin' flying cat, it was nice to have normal ones like her.

"So, Wendy, you're the Sky Dragonslayer, right?"

Her eyes widen at my question for a brief instant, but then she nods. "Yes! That's me! I learned it from Grandeeney herself!"

I raise an eyebrow at the strange name. "Grandeeney?"

She wiggles a little in her seat from nervousness. "Y-yes. She's my mother, the Sky Dragon. I-I know it sounds weird, but-"

I give her my most jovial smile as I cut her off. "No, it's not that weird, trust me. I already talked to Natsu, after all."

She lets out a nervous laugh. "Oh, I see then. Umm, what else do you want to ask me, then?"

I quickly scan over my notes from my conversation with Natsu earlier. "Well, it says here that your dragon, err, parent, disappeared a while ago, while you were still young, correct?"

Her nervous smile faded into a small frown, and small tears welled up in the corner of her eyes. "Y-yes. She just...vanished suddenly. Apparently the same happened with Gajeel and Natsu's parents as well. We...still don't know what happened, since they all left on the same day, but we hope to one day figure it out."

I jot down a few notes about this. "What'd you do after that?"

"W-well, I met a friend from the guild, well, I mean, from Fairy Tail, and he and I traveled together for a while, but then, he too left..." At this point she looked very close to crying. "T-then he left me with this guild, Caiter Shelter, b-b-but, when I met Fairy Tail and saved my guild from Nirvana, I found out that, the whole time...they were just an illusion! Everyone but Carla, they...they were all just creations of the guild master, who was just a g-ghost..."

Now she was crying quite hard, and I'm just dumbfounded. She's lost her family not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES?! JEEZ! How much did this poor girl go through at such a young age?!

I hand her a couple of tissues, and she thanks me in between sobs. After a few minutes, she calms down. I offer her a cup of tea to help her relax. She gratefully accepts, as she continues her story.

"After that, I joined Fairy Tail, and have traveled with everyone on many adventures! If I may say it, I don't think I've ever been this happy." Her smile is back now, and it is a pleasant sight compared to her sobbing one.

"Do you miss your old family, Wendy?"

She nods. "Yeah, I think about them a lot, but everyone in Fairy Tail's like my new family. They share their pain with me, and I share mine with them. We've all struggled in the past, but my favorite part about the guild is how we all help each other through it together!"

For what feels like the twentieth time today, I smile. This guild...the bonds in this guild seem strong. Unbreakable. It's no wonder how they won the Grand Magic Games and played such a big role in stopping the Dragon attack. Just then, I realize that my interview is almost over with the young Dragonslayer, and I had yet to even use my magic. To make sure I didn't miss anything, I scan my notes on this interview so far.

In bold font at the top, the word "Romeo" is written. Yes, I'll have to get on that in a moment. I continue down the list. Mother Dragon, Seperated, Traveled with Fairy Tail Member (?), Joined Cait Shelter...

"Wendy, if I may ask, who from Fairy Tail did you meet when you were young?"

"Oh? That was Mystogan."

Mystogan? That mysterious member that we have next to no information on? I quickly peer outside, and see him leaning against a pillar near the wall of the guild. On the other side of the pillar is Erza. Well that's an odd site...

"So, you mean that man out there, eh?"

"Well no, that's not-" Suddenly, her eyes widen as she looks me in the face, and she suddenly starts panicking. "N-no, that's-Well, it IS Mystogan, but um, he's, um, you see, um..."

...well, looks like I'll be using it after all; with a mental click, my magic turns on.

This man is from the council! I almost let him know that Mystogan is Jellal! I have to be more careful, but how can I change the subject...

What.

The.

HELL?!

The wanted fugitive is disguised as a Fairy Tail member?! Scandal of the century, thy name is Fairy Tail!

It is then that I notice she's staring at me nervously. I shake my head to clear my thoughts. Focus, Rues, you can figure that out later. After all, he is on the list. Then I can report it to the council, and probably get the biggest promotion of my life. For now...

"Anyways, do you mind if I ask you for your opinion on a couple of your guildmates?"

The question and change of subject seems to catch her off guard. "H-huh? S-s-sure."

I feel a bit lame for using the same style twice, but for my reward, anything is worth it~

"Natsu Dragneel?"

"Natsu is very strong, and just as kind. I-I-I know it sounds weird, but I like to think he's my brother."

"Not weird at all, Wendy. Perfectly normal. Lucy Heartfillia?"

"She's the nicest person I ever met, and she's so beautiful."

I laugh. "Is she like a sister to you?"

She blushes a bit. "Yeah."

And so it continues on like this, and I quickly see that she really does see her guildmates as siblings, especially Natsu and Gajeel, her fellow Dragonslayers.

"Alrighty, last one, Romeo Conbolt?"

"R-R-Romeo?! Why Romero?" Again, the question catches her off guard, and her blush is very luminescent.

I snicker. "Actually, the quote is 'Wherefore art thou Romeo', just so you know. Anyways, what do you think of him."

"W-well, that's..."

"Is he like a brother?"

"Yes. I mean, n-no! He is, but he's..."

"More?"

"Yes! N-No, I mean no, I mean...umm"

"Yeeessss?"

"He's...very...him."

I grin at her. "Care to clarify?"

She attempts to explain while using her hands for emphasis. "He's...well, he used to be like...and now he's...so while then I...now I..."

"...I see."

I don't see. Time for Magic~

W-Well, I used to play with him a lot back then, a-and then the whole Tenrou Island thing happened, a-and now, he's just as old as me, and he looks h-h-h-handsome, b-but he's been avoiding me, but earlier, he looked at me a-and smiled a-and I, I-

Well, that was still hard to understand, but I think I get the jist of it. Another pairing confirmed. Hello reward~

"Well, thank you for that, Wendy, your session is over."

I can't help but chuckle at the veryaudible sigh of relief she lets out. I walk her out the door, as I call in my next patient/victim.

"Next up, Marvell, Carla!"

As the white-fur cat flies her way over to me (Please don't be as insane as Happy), I cannot help but ponder my earlier discovery.

Jellal Fernandes himself is here?! In Fairy Tail? Now things are getting interesting~

So, I hope that was at least slightly worth the wait. Thanks for reading, you guys are the greatest!
