NATSU's P.O.V.
That moment when instead everyone's suppose to throw apples at you but instead they cheer on you…weird. The green-haired female and the weird cowboy whatever were waving like they're superheroes. Not bad, but still it's suppose to be me and Luce waving, but I don't care now. She was panting and I guess it must be the heat. Having my magic back isn't something worth praising for. If I do something stupid or anything that would cause the villagers to hate us—according to Erza, we will be thrown into jail and Lucy's conditions would probably be worse.
"Ngh…Na-Natsu…" Lucy slightly opened her left eye. I was greeted with pale chocolate brown eyes.
"It's okay, we're all here." I wiped the sweat of her forehead.
"Nacio…Nacio…" she called once more.
"Who the hell is Nacio?" I asked.
"Na….cio…" With her last words, she fell asleep again. I sighed that she wasn't better now, she's still sick and I wonder what they've done to her? Strip her and have the cold air gush into her, the darkness of everything made her depressed?
"Is she the princess?" The green-haired touched her wrists, Lucy flinched a little bit, I nodded.
"Former Princess." I said, looking away knowing it was my fault.
"She's still the princess of our nation. Well when I was still young, she and the King visited this place for some construction and some boring speech. We didn't even what the King said to us but he was all like faking a Cowboy accent, we didn't bother to laugh." She laughed, I laughed slightly.
"But Princess Lucy actually dressed up as a cowgirl and it was perfect that she did the accent, her father wasn't impressed on the scene that she did. You call it dressed as fetish in your place, in ours we call it Yeehaw!" she cheered on, then carriage stopped.
You know this one thing you've all noticed: I did not experience Motion Sickness. Was Lucy's sickness the one I'm more concerned? Well I guess I have my solution now for that sickness.
"We're here. Don't worry I'm going to get some of our healers. We'll be getting Miss Marvell." She laughed.
"O-Okay! You're too kind, Mrs. Connell." Wendy blushed.
"Don't mention it, kid! Kids in our place are nice and kind. You should meet Romeo Conbolt, he's something for you." She wiggled her eyes.
"If that's what you think, then I'll do it." Wendy smiled brightly. Her toothy grin similar to mine and I could see myself in her. Probably the big warm smiles and I noticed—she's more confident now.
I guess our mission too was to revive everyone's happiness. Probably the happiness of those rune fruits or knights were to slay creatures such as dragons, goblins, and fairies but I think what their happiness is are to live a life with their children and families. I don't even know what could all of our friends and comrades would happen if one of us—Me and Lucy would die….would they be since the great war is over?
✠ HAPPY's P.O.V. ✠
I understand what I feel about my foster-father and my best friend. I sat down at the infirmary and I could feel blood spilling out of my back, luckily Wendy was treated first and I don't know why she insisted to help everybody with healing. Thank Earthland that she had healing magic.
"Happy are you okay?" She asked me, I nodded slowly as I adjusted my bag.
"Do they have some fish?" I gave her a smile, she giggled in return.
"Of course, I'll ask Bisca-san if there is." She made her way to the door, as she opened it, there revealed a man who had a silly attire. He looked more of a fashionista than a cowboy.
"How are ya'll kids?" He asked.
"We're fine..old man." Gray laughed.
"Hey, I'm not that old!" He huffed, I could see the tints of red on his face, I giggled slightly as I felt some blood squirting out.
"You must be all tortured by the King…I wonder what it would feel to be tortured and humiliated in front of a lot of people.." He said as he gave me a fish.
My eyes sparkled—this was one thing that became my favorite too!
"Fiiish!" I said, I grabbed and started munching on it.
"I see that you're one tough cat." He said.
"Cat or Exceed." I said in a happy tone.
"Exceed? What's an exceed?" He asked.
"You haven't seen an exceed before? Well let's say half cat + half bird! I got wings too you know!" I showed my wings, it fluttered and magic dust fluttered around me, but then my back started to bleed more.
"Take it slower, blue cat..." he said as he called another person to help.
"Laki, come here for a second! We got a bleeding cat here! Get some equipment and let's patch his wounds up." His voice boomed around the infirmary and a lavender violet hair, she has eyeglasses.
"Hello, all I see that you have awoken from your defenseless hours of slumber and torture." She said as she grabbed some herbs on the box.
"I've helped Miss Laki-san collect some herbs. I never knew that they stored a lot of herbs here in San Antonio.." Wendy went inside the room, she held 2 bottles of green potions.
"What's that you're holding Wendy?" I asked as I grabbed my small blanket.
"Grandine-san actually taught me how to use some herbs and potions in case I run out of powers and here I put this into good use." She giggled.
"What does it do?" I asked.
"Well I'll rub it on your back, thought it might sting alittle bit." She took some cream inside the flask and she rubbed it on my back, at first it hurt but in the next minutes, I felt like I'm on Fish Heaven.
"Charles, you're awake! You should try this fish herb…it's nice.." I relaxed.
"There's no such thing as fish herb, Happy.." Wendy sighed.
"Well I guess you guys would do fine. Miss Wendy's very helpful with our other patients and it seems she's full of magic today." Wakaba commented.
"I'm just happy that we've escaped and feel happy now!" she laughed.
"Why won't you play with Macao's son, Probably he's at your age..what was your age again?" Wakaba snarled about 'Macao's son'.
"12 Years Old…" she shyly said.
"Oh, he's 13! You should try playing with him!" He patted Wendy's shoulder.
"He might even have a crush on you since I think you both look cute!" Wakaba whispered loudly, causing Wendy to blush.
"I have a question…should you call the 'sheriff' a 'sheriff'?" I asked, thinking of what Natsu said to me before.
"Yeah, well the sheriff here is Macao, the Mayor's me. Funny that the sheriff's got a bigger role than me here." He rudely laughed.
"I…see." I didn't get what he said but okay.
(A/N: AHAHAHA RoWen? :3)
WENDY's P.O.V.
Who is the sheriff's son? I cringed as I walked around the town. All of the townsfolk were giving me stares. I smiled at them and they waved back. I giggled as they were incredibly nice.
"Oh no…I shouldn't have left. I'm now lost at San Antonio.." I cried as I didn't know what way I am.
"Hey little girl, are you lost?" A boy patted my soldier as I was sitting down the ground.
"I-I'm lost…" I cried louder.
"Oh, don't worry! I'll get you into my Father's office. Surely he'll find your parents." He grabbed my wrists and he held my hand, I blushed. He was a handsome boy and to expect that a guy like him would protect me.
"Don't worry..I'll hold your hand so that you won't get lost! Romeo's got you." He gave me a big grin.
"T-Thank You." I smiled gently, I swear I saw him flinch a little bit with my smile.
"I'm sorry If I smiled at you.." I apologized, at first he was silent but he laughed at me.
"Why would you apologize to me? I should be the apologizing to you! Anyway, can I know your name? My Father's going to ask you that." He said as we took a sharp turn.
"I'm Wendy." I said.
"Wendy? What a beautiful name!" He said, we walked around the town to see the people staring at us.
"Aw, ain't they cute?" They whispered, causing me to blush harder.
"Don't worry, everyone's talking like that! It's been a long time since I've become this joyful." He said as he stopped as a magic vehicle crossed.
"This joyful? You mean you were sad…" I asked him.
"Yeah…well I've heard about Prince Natsu and his comrades coming here! Boy I'm excited to meet them all and from what I've heard there's a girl there! I wonder if I could test out my powers with her. I heard she's amazing too!" He said with full admiration with them.
"Have you seen them?" He asked me, I didn't want to lie so I nodded.
"You did?! That must be amazing! You must be an immigrant from Magnolia, right? Your clothes are a bit flashy." He scratched his back.
"I-I'm actually travelling with my friends, but I'm not an im-"
"Wait, we're here!" He showed me a big courthouse.
"Wow, it's beautiful!" I said as a big fountain was at the middle.
"Here you go, this is a coin and remember, make a wish!" He flipped a coin and threw it at the fountain, he closed his eyes and he was in a praying position. I giggled slightly and I copied his actions.
I wish that the great war between the Creatures and Mages would be over… I wished, and then I opened my eyes.
"I wished to have the Great War over." I embarrassingly said.
"I wished for that too! You know, 8 years ago….my family was complete, but when the King asked to have the young children to be taken away from their family because of the Great War. The King believed that young children possess great magic now so he took away the children, but my mother refused, she was…even abused and in the end..killed." He remorsefully said.
"I'm sorry for you…Romeo." I hugged him and I pulled back.
"Thank you Wendy…. For being supportive when we just met." He sadly smiled.
"You're welcome, Romeo. Isn't that what Friends do?" She laughed.
"Ye-"
"Romeo, I didn't know that you were already in love with our Infirmed Friends!" A man laughed in the background.
"Infirmed F- Does that mean she's part of Prince Natsu's gang?!" He asked, the man nodded.
"Oh my Earthland, Wendy this can't be! I'm so sorry for taking your time too long!" He apologized to me.
"No it's okay, I really enjoyed that you gave me a slight detour around town and I'm sorry for not telling you straight." I bowed down and apologized, I could hear his father's cheers and 'Good Luck son, keep her!' which I hid my blush.
"Well, I'm Romeo Conbolt, The son of San Antonio's Sheriff." He brought out his hand.
"I'm Wendy Marvell, a...Sky Mage?" I shook his hand.
