Romeo pov

Dear Dad

My trainings has been going very well, so I thought I would write you a letter to catch you up on everything that's happened in the last month. Although I highly doubt shad- "S" will let me send it. I hope everything at the guild is alright and that another enemy hasn't attacked us while I was absent.

"S" says that my training has been going very well and I should be back at the guild in about a month or so. On the bright side I have gotten a lot stronger and my magic seems to have reached a new point. I think I might be strong enough to take on natsu.

So far I have learned Fire make (which only seems to make weapons) and i'm currently working on Fire travel (which will let me teleport using fire). I hope I get the chance to show you when I get back.

Love Romeo

I folded the letter and went to go train when Shadow entered the went straight to the kitchen and started fixing lunch. " You talk to your dad recently" he asked not looking away from the stove.

"Yeah I wrote him a letter but I don't think i'll send it" I answered as I started to throw fire knifes at a training dummy. He turned and started writing something on a piece of paper.

"Here, use this as the return address." he told me. Waving it in my direction " As much as I hate you having contact with other people. Your dad seems important to you"

"Thank you, he really is" I replied as a knife collided with the dummy's head. Shadow remained quiet as he finishes lunch. He put in on two plates before setting them on the bar.

"I was in magnolia the other day" shadow stated " The preparation for your friend Wendy's wedding seem to going really well" with that I blew up the training dummy and went to sit down beside him.

"Sorry about the dummy it's just a touchy subject, you know" I sighed " Having the girl you love marrying someone else" I took a bite out of my lunch.

" I know how you feel" Shadow added " But atleast you get to see the women you love" he twirled a knife between his fingers.

"You mean Juvia don't you" I asked causing him to look at me "I found the picture in your shirt a while ago" He nodded and set the knife down

"I was dating juvia for a couple months before gajeel got in the way" shadow answered "how about you"

'If it wasn't for gajeel I might be the one marrying Wendy" Romeo replied "not one of those Blue Pegasus idiots" we sat there in silence before we both cracked a smile. Finally realising that we did have something in common. Gajeel had screwed up both of our love lives.

" I have to go back to Magnolia next week if you want to come" Shadow asked " you could visit your guild"

"Sure it will be nice to see them again" I stated " but what happened with you and Juvia. What did Gajeel do"

" When I was in phantom lord I took a lot of assassination job with Juvia's brother." He replied "Then on one job I went to throw a knife and missed my target and hitting him instead causing him to die. Gajeel somehow found out and told the whole guild. Juvia was so scared she broke up with me and I was banished from the guild."

"Holy crap" Romeo yelled causing shadow to look towards him "You really did that"

"Yeah, but even after that Gajeel tracked me down and beat the crap out of me." He stated "That's how I got the scar on my neck. It's also why I want you to have contact with your dad. It won't take long for Gajeel it figure out it was me who sent the letter and come looking for you."

"That's why the letter blew up, it was so Gajeel wouldn't realize it was you who sent it" I sighed finishing my lunch and going to get a new dummy to practice on.

"But at least juvia's happy in her new guild with her new boyfriend" Shadow said to nobody in particular "That's all that matter's in the end is that they're happy"

"Yeah i guess you right" I replied my focus going back to my training.

Guild Pov

"I got a letter from romeo" Macao cheered as he entered the guild waving a piece of paper in the air . "It says he's coming for a visit next week"

"Just in time for the wedding" Mira stated her and Erza had been working constantly to make sure wendy's wedding was the best it could be. "I still can't believe we got it finished in such a short time"

Shortly after Wendy and Gajeel entered the guild. Gajeel had agreed to walk wendy down the aisle. When gajeel saw the paper he walked over and took it from Macao. He quickly read it over before shooting Juvia a look of warning. He had a feeling that Romeo wasn't the only one "visiting" as the letter put it.

Wendy had sat down in front of Mira and started talking to her about saturday. Erza had soon joined the conversation. The guild had quieted down recently but with the wedding a few days away they were starting to cheer up again.

Blue pegasus had arrived in magnolia the day before and were currently sitting near the entrance of the guild. They were flirting with almost every girl that came in. Even Eve who Gajeel was about to punch if he didn't stop. Like seriously Wendy was only a couple feet away.

Gajeel had better things to worry about especially if the Shadow was coming with Romeo. Which he highly doubted but wanted to be safe just in case. The week went on and everyone was working on last minute wedding preparation. Gajeel had spent most of the week training only stopping to eat, sleep and punch Eve when he tried to flirt.

Juvia was mentally preparing herself for when Shadow showed up, if he showed up. While Gray couldn't figure out why Juvia was acting so weird, however she kept telling him that he didn't need to worry.

Wendy has started to become nervous for the wedding. While Eve showed no sign of being nervous whatsoever. Even the town of Magnolia was excited for this event. Everyone was cheerful (in their own way) and excited (some more that others) about the events to come

However no one would have believed them if they had been told. That the return of Romeo Conbolt wouldn't just spark old emotions but destroy new ones. The next two days weren't going to be has happy as they were supposed to.
