BlackLynx17: HOORAY FOR MENDY! DO-DO-DO-DOOOO! Hi everyone, I'm super tired! I was able to update for all of you though, so please thank me with a review. Thanks. Ciao.

!For those who do not understand Mendy!

So the truth of the matter is we don't know Doranbolt's real age. We believe, me and a bunch of other Mendy fans who have discussed this, he was around 16-18 when he first joined Fairy Tail because honestly he looks that young. If you look at him before and after the timeskip he changes dramatically, like from a little boy to a man. If you look at Lahar he didn't really change at all, just getting a little bit muscular, meaning that he was already old and an adult when he was first introduced before the timeskip and most likely Doranbolt was his student or something. During the incident on Tenroujima Doranbolt seemed very much like a rebellious teenager trying to save Fairy Tail, so we thought that it might have been his first undercover mission for the council considering how desperate he seemed to prove himself. We believe that Doranbolt was like Eve, who is apart of Blue Pegasus, and that maybe they went to the Council training together so we believe their ages are similar. We do not see Wendy and Doranbolt as a man and a child, but two teenagers with at least, at least a four-five years difference. Yes the timeskip has made them even older, but if you ignore that fact they are good together.

If that is not a good enough explanation to explain why we love Doranbolt and Wendy together, well then just call it a guilty pleasure for us. I don't understand why people ship who they ship either, I just accept that they love who they love and I love who I love. If you hate this couple you also hate Kyoko and Ren together from Skip Beat, four or five I can't remember, Ikuto and Amu together, SEVEN years difference (she was in elementary, he in high school), Serena and Darien from Sailor Moon! HE WAS IN COLLEGE! COLLEGE! AND SHE WAS IN MIDDLE SCHOOL! Black Butler! Who knows how old Sebastian really is! And I can't think of any others, but if I do I will post up. Anyways, thanks for reading. Mendy for life!


Elements Of The Heart


Chapter 28

Colors


Wendy woke up surrounded by clouds. No matter how hard she tried to fight, she couldn't escape the clouds around her. So instead, she tried eating them. Minutes later she got full and relaxed into the clouds, closing her eyes peacefully. What was she doing though? Wasn't she going to meet Doranbolt? Wendy's eyes shot wide open as she moved around, feeling around her pockets for the small elixir. When she found it under her dress she sighed out in relief and tried to remember what had happened.

The last thing she did was talk to Cloud and then she had the strangest dream ever, about... about demons, no not demons, it was about the Lightning Elements and they were, they were-

That wasn't a dream, it was what really happened a long time ago.

Wendy looked around, "who are you?!"

Your savior, who lifted you up and broke the chains of slavery.

Wendy blinked softly, "Cloud?"

I saved you, saved your kind, brought you to a better place, and yet you want to reunite Lightning and Sky? They enslaved our kind! They treated us like animals! And yet you want to break the barrier all because you're in love!

"So that all wasn't a dream, thank you Cloud for filling in the blank spots of our history."

ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?!

"I am, and now that I can talk to you thank you for everything you've done for our people. Thank you for saving us, keeping the sun always shining for us, and loving us for so long. I want you to know that my people love you as well, I especially love you Cloud. Thanks for everything."

... you're welcome.

"And about the Lightning Elements, I've forgiven them."

FORGIVEN THEM?! FORGIVEN THEM! YOU WERE SLAVES!

"We can't focus on the past though Cloud. These things happened a thousand years ago, people can change. I know you can see my memories, you know I thought Doranbolt was a demon. After a while though, he was just like me. He's changed, and if he can treat me like I would treat him, maybe his Element are the same way."

And you're willing to risk getting enslaved all over again on this maybe?

"Yes, because I believe in them. I believe in my heart."

Well I'm not. I've been avoiding him for a thousand years, watching over all of you and I'm not about to let all of that go to waste. So you are going to stay here in this prison until I can see that you've given up hope on that savage of an Element.

"Then we're going to be seeing each other for a long, long time because I don't think that will ever change."

Why do you think I supply you with a comfy bed and food then? Though you're trying to ruin your Element, I still love you Wendy. I'm doing what I believe is best for our Element.

Wendy blinked softly, "you know what Cloud, I've been telling the same thing to myself so I know when I'm being lied to. I know I'm being selfish, I honestly believe some good may come though, but you only see the bad. You don't see any good things about uniting the two Elements, so what are you trying to hide? Or are you scared of the Lightning Elements as well?"

She was not replied back too so Wendy must have struck some nerve. She tried eating her way out again, and then tried sprouting her wings and flying out of here. None of those worked, not even when she tried her strongest moves and attacked. She stayed trapped in these fluffy with no such luck or clue on how to get out at all.

Why did you tell everyone the truth of the Lightning Elements?

"Because if I wanted to unite the two Elements I needed my Element to be prepared and not scared like I was. I believed my Element could overcome their fear, and they have. Though it took a long time, I was able to reach all of them."

They could be lies, hearing one thing and seeing another has different reactions. Just because they believe your stories doesn't mean they'll believe them when they're face to face with them.

"I believe in my Element."

Believe, believe, sometimes believing is not good enough. You'll learn that when you're older, when you're in love... or actually, you've already experienced that. You believed in your little Lightning Element, right? And yet he never tried to see you, nor visit you even once. How did that not crush your belief system?

"Because I still have hope. Hope that the day will come when he does, hope that when I see him he'll be happy and ask me what took so long? And you don't have to worry about anything Cloud, I won't tell him it was your fault." Wendy giggled.

Hehehehe, you Marvell's always had so much spunk. Even you-...

Wendy hummed and blinked, waiting for the rest of the sentence. Nothing happened though, not a word. Wendy thought she offended the Cloud again and started relaxing, all of a sudden though she heard something. Screams, calls... it was muffled, but she heard her name.

"HELLO?!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, "ANYONE! I'M TRAPPED IN HERE! HELP! PLEASE! HELP!"

All of a sudden something soft grabbed her hand and she was flying through the clouds. The sun came shining out and wings were glowing a soft white and blue color from the reflection of the rays, a bright smile appearing on Wendy's face as she saw her three best friends flying her away.

"Happy! Charlie! Pantherlily!"

Her three Exceed friends all smiled down at her before flying off at an even faster pace.

"But how?!"

"You've been missing for two days Wendy, the whole kingdom has been looking for you!" Charlie said.

"We thought you got lost in the Lightning Element Kingdom, but Queen Porlyusica told us that the barrier was still intact." Pantherlily said.

"Yeah, then she told us the last place she told for you to visit was the Cloud so when we arrived and didn't see you, Charlie said she had a feeling you were still here so we dove straight into the cloud and heard you calling us!"

"And now here we are Wendy, now would you like to explain why in Cloud you disappeared?!"

Wendy giggled as she sprouted her own wings, flying on her on.

"It's a long story guys and we don't have much time! We have to hurry up and break the barrier, so if you don't mind making our savior Cloud your worst enemy, follow me!" Wendy laughed diving way down underneath all the clouds.

The three Exceeds followed and Wendy threw off her crown and robes, feeling free in her simply purple dress as she enjoyed the wind whip past her. She pulled the elixir from under her dress and stared at the contents. This little thing was going to break the barrier? Wendy thought and shrugged lightly. It was a surprise to see her mother standing there, waiting for her.

"Mom?" Wendy asked.

"Wendy, my goodness where have you been?!" She asked pulling her into a hug.

"It's a long story Mom, but if I don't do this now I won't have another chance to. If you'll please excuse me, I need to hurry." Wendy said.

Porlyusica took a deep breath and kissed her daughter's forehead, "I thought the Lightning Elements got to you. I waited and waited for him to come, to see if he's seen you."

"Mom, I'm sorry to have worried you. Please though, I need to do this. Please, this is my only chance."

Porlyusica took a step back away from her daughter and took the small bottle away. For a second Wendy thought her mother was on the Cloud's side, that she was going to take her one hope away from her and leave her. That didn't happen though. Porlyusica broke the vial onto the barrier and watched as cracks started surfacing around her.

"You're going to be out of magic if you try and break this, remember you're still fairly new to your wings though they have improved. Charlie, Pantherlily, Happy, can I count on you three to watch over my daughter?"

"Of course!" Charlie said.

"Aye!" Happy cheered.

"It'll be an honor." Pantherlily said.

Porlyusica smiled lightly and looked at Wendy, "I'm proud to be your mother Wendy and I always wanted the best things to happen to you, I know you know what you're doing. I hope it'll turn out the way you want it too though."

"It will Mom, I believe it will."

"Then I'll believe in you as well. Now fly up, Once it breaks you'll need to go in immediately." Polyusica said flying up a little bit.

Wendy and her Exceeds all followed after, watching as their former Queen eyes turned a darker shade of red as she summoned her powers.

"Are you ready for all possibilities Wendy?" Charlie asked.

Wendy took a deep breath and nodded her head, "I'm ready."

No sooner than when she said it her mother blasted out a powerful hurricane, it landing directly on the crack marks. The barrier burst into pieces and Wendy started laughing as she flew right in, into the black clouds that covered the sky in the distance. Her mother sighed lightly, wiping her forehead off a little as she stood on the unbroken pieces of the barrier.

"Not even a thank you." She sighed and shook her head at her daughter.

Meanwhile Happy was sticking close to Pantherlily, Charlie close to Wendy as they flew though the night. Electricity sounded funny, strange to their ears and even started scaring Pantherlily, him clinging to Happy instead of the opposite.

"Doranbolt?! Doranbolt!" Wendy yelled out.

She was just entering the thunderstorms, remembering the stories of how far the barrier was from his kingdom. It wasn't really a distance to him though, since he was so fast, but it was sure to take a while for her. Wendy often looked back, staring at her companions. At one point when Pantherlily and Happy looked to scared to move on, she flew back and carried them as she went forward.

"My Queen!" Pantherlily called.

"Wendy!" Happy said.

"I'm sorry you two, just a while longer though." Wendy told them.

She saw homes made from black clouds instead of white like her in her kingdom, Elements wearing dark clothes instead of white, children playing around with electricity instead of air. She flew over them all, looking for the farthest cloud in the distance with the biggest buildings, electricity looming out of it.

"Wow." Happy whispered in awe.

"Weird." Pantherlily said.

"You were right Wendy, they look just like us." Charlie said lightly.

Wendy stared at the Lightning Elements, wondering where hers was. She flew off and something straight happened, clouds seemed to part. It brought out a commotion from the Elements, making them scream and shout, but the clouds led a path to the castle cloud in the distance. It was strange... Wendy felt like she should follow it though, so she did. It led her high up, deeper into the thunderclouds until there was only one home visible.

"That's it." She whispered before flying even faster.

Wendy flew through the clouded doors and came inside of a grand room with several hallways extending all around her. She flew around and passed each one, each of them looking like the previous with black clouds and fluffiness. There was no one here, no one around, no one to question or ask. Wendy flew back into the middle of the room and allowed her friends to fly again.

"Alright, we're looking for Doranbolt. About really tall, green eyes, tanish skin color, hair on his chin here and kind of arrogant sounding. Call me if you find him." Wendy said.

"Yes." Happy, Charlie, and Pantherlily said nodding their heads.

Without another look the four Sky Elements all flew their separate ways, looking for the King of the Lightning Elements.


Doranbolt was on high alert, something itching inside of him. He stopped what he was doing and started observing the room, looking all around him for the presence that was bothering him. Laxus hummed lightly, looking over towards him out the corner of his eye.

"What's wrong?"

"Didn't you just... feel something?"

"Must be Lightning Cloud shocking you again."

"No Laxus, something seriously just happened. Something... what's going on?"

"Doranbolt, calm down. Nothing has happened; if something did then the elders would have come running in complaining and yelling their heads off. Do we see that happening?"

Doranbolt looked at the door, nothing.

"It's been two days since you've glued to your seat; I think you might be going a little cra-"

"DORANBOLT! DORANBOLT! DORANBOLT!" His name echoed outside the hall.

Doranbolt stared at Laxus and he stared right back at him. The door suddenly opened and this blue thing came flying in, the strangest thing though was that Doranbolt knew who that blue thing was. Blue fur, bright eyes, wings, a small green bag on his back.

"Happy?" Doranbolt asked standing up.

Happy looked hearing his name, "aye?"

Doranbolt blinked, half laughing to himself. "Really? You're Happy?"

"Gasps! Are you Doranbolt?!" Happy asked.

And before Doranbolt could respond, Happy flew out of the room. Laxus looked back and forth between Doranbolt and the door.

"I take it you knew that thing?"

Doranbolt slowly nodded his head, putting these strand of events together. Exceeds didn't live in Lightning Elements, but with the Sky Elements. So if Happy, an Exceed, was here, that meant the barrier between them must have shattered. That could have been that strange feeling Doranbolt was just feeling a while ago, and if that happened then that must mean that someone broke it meaning... meaning...

Wendy was here somewhere. Wendy was here... she was here.

"WENDY!" Doranbolt yelled at the top of his lungs running for the door.

He ran straight into something that made him fly back, landing on the floor in pain. Doranbolt grunted loudly and saw stars when his eyes opened up, but he gained back focus, he saw blue instead. Dark blue with bright brown eyes. They stared right back at him along with a beautiful and bright smile.

"Your hair grew." She said softly reaching for it.

Of course it would, its been a year, he wanted to tell her, but words seemed to fail. Doranbolt lifted up his hand and poked her cheek, checking to see if she was really here. The weight on his chest with her on top of him didn't seem enough to convince him. She looked exactly the same, smiling brightly at him as she giggled.

"Wendy." He whispered softly.

Wendy giggled again, "so you do remember. What about my favorite color?"

Doranbolt grunted as he moved from underneath her, "it's been a year and the first conversation you want us to have is what your favorite color is?"

"Well I couldn't remember if I told you or not, I can't remember yours."

Doranbolt couldn't help but laugh as he leaned up slightly, running his hand through her hair before cuffing her cheek.

"It's blue."

She smiled, "I could have guessed that."

He chuckled and leaned forward, pressing his forehead against her own. Their noses touched and Wendy blushed a bright pink as Doranbolt stared directly into her eyes. Their company, the once great king and three Exceeds who were watching quietly in the background, slowly averted their eyes though they kept peeking back. Wendy felt flustered under his gaze and whispered.

"Green."

"I could have guessed that."

Wendy smiled carefully at him and placed her hand on his chest.

"Doranbolt?"

"Hmm." He hummed softly closing his eyes.

He tried focusing all on her, making sure this wasn't a dream, that she was really here in his arms.

"I need to tell you something, about before. The last time we saw each other, you asked if I'd want to marry you. Well, the thing was I actually-"
