Natsu and Romeo sat at the dining room table as Lucy took Wendy upstairs to change her clothes and treat her wounds.
"So Romeo, tell me about yourself." Natsu told Romeo.
"Well I just moved here a few days ago from Hargeon. Today was my first day at school. I lived in Hargeon since I was young. I did used to live here when i was younger." Romeo explained
"What's your last name?" Natsu asked.
"Conbolt." Romeo answered.
"Conbolt, are you Macao's kid?" Natsu asked.
Natsu noticed that as he said Macao's name, Romeo seemed to tense up.
"Yes, he is my dad." Romeo replied.
"Well what was Hargeon like? I don't usually leave Magnolia much so I don't know what other cities are like." Natsu explained.
"Hargeon is a nice place. It's right by the ocean so that's a plus. There is a gang problem but the gangs don't usually bother anyone much." Romeo described. "Why don't you tell me about yourself and Magnolia? It would only be fair."
"Well let's start with Magnolia. The city is quite peaceful. There is a lot of business here. There are some shady parts of town you might want to keep away from. We have some small gangs, but nothing like those in Crocus." Natsu informed Romeo. "I've lived here for most of my life. I wasn't born here but all my memories are from here. When I was about eight, my father married Wendy's mom. When I entered high school, they decided to travel the world and I've been watching Wendy ever since. They come to visit now and then but I don't see them that often lately.
"Oh so you two are step-siblings then. " Romeo confirmed.
"That's right, but I still love her like she's my own flesh and blood." Natsu replied.
"Well tell me about your mom, and don't you have a sister?" Natsu asked.
"My parent got divorced when I was six. I haven't seen or heard from my mom or sister since then." Romeo confessed.
"That's rough, I never knew my mom so I don't know how that feels." Natsu said trying to comfort Romeo.
"Well it isn't that big of a deal. Life moves on you know." Romeo replied.
There was a few seconds of awkward silence before Lucy and Wendy entered the room.
"So what did we miss?" Lucy asked as she took a seat besides Natsu.
"Nothing much, I was just telling Romeo here about the city." Natsu revealed.
"So, how are you enjoying Magnolia?" Lucy asked.
"It's fine, I miss the smell of the sea from Hargeon but Magnolia seems nice. I just need to get used to it." Romeo answered.
"Do you live near here?" Wendy asked.
"I live in the area but not in the neighborhood. I've been exploring the city the last few days to try and get a feel for the place." Romeo replied.
"Well you better be careful. I heard that a few kids have gone missing lately." Lucy revealed.
"That isn't true, that's just something parents have been telling their kids to make sure they are out too late." Natsu joked. "But seriously though, you should be careful out there. Not everyone is so nice."
"I've experienced that first hand tonight." Romeo commented. " I thank you for you hospitality but I need to start heading home. I want to stop by the store before I go."
Romeo got up and started to walk towards the door.
"Alright then. Thank you for helping Wendy out." Natsu thanked Romeo.
"Don't mention it, it's just something any decent person would have done." Romeo replied.
Romeo walked out and started to head down the road. Natsu closed the door and heading back to where the girls were.
"He seemed like a nice guy." Lucy said.
"He did, but I feel like he's hiding something." Natsu replied.
"You are just being paranoid. You think any guy who talks to Wendy is hiding something." Lucy argued.
"It's not like that. He just seemed to dislike me talking about his family." Natsu counter argued.
"Well he just got forced to move here, he might not like that." Wendy suggested.
"And not all family situations are ideal either. He might have issues at home." Lucy pointed out.
"Alright I get it, I'm not trying to say that he is a bad guy or anything." Natsu tried defending himself.
"Well everyone usually hides something." Wendy muttered.
"You better not be hiding anything from me or else." Natsu jokingly threatened as he picked Wendy's cheeks.
"Not the face." Wendy complained.
Romeo walked down the road looking at the different people who walked past him. Romeo was now in a more heavily crowded area. Romeo walked into an alley where a man appeared in front of him.
"Hey there kid, I'm going to have to ask for all valuables you have on you." the man told Romeo.
"And what if I refuse?" Romeo asked.
"Then I'll have to use this little thing." The man replied as he pulled a gun out of his pocket.
"Alright, but all I have on me is my wallet." Romeo revealed.
"Then throw it on the ground then." The man ordered.
Romeo threw the wallet on the ground in front of him. The man walked forward and reached down to grab the wallet. Romeo then grabbed the man's face and slammed his knee into it. The man fell back, grabbing his now bleeding nose. Romeo reached down and grabbed his wallet and the gun the man dropped.
"You aren't very good at robbing people. You need some practice." Romeo told the man.
Romeo took the clip out of the gun and realized that it was empty the entire time. Romeo put the gun in his back pocket and walked over to the man.
"With most people, they would have just gone along with your mugging. Sadly I'm no
one of those people."
After saying these words, Romeo then walked away. Romeo then walked for a while until he approached a small one story house. Romeo walked in and headed towards his room. Romeo opened a part of the floor board and put the gun there. Romeo covered the floorboard and sat on his bed.
"This place is just too boring." Romeo thought to himself.
The next few days went by without any incidents. Romeo talked to a few of the students in his class and had some conversations with Wendy. With everything going on, Romeo just seemed to be bored. Romeo was walking down the hall when he noticed a girl crouched down picking up a bunch of papers. The girl wore a white t-shirt with overalls over them. Romeo crouched next to her and helped them pick the papers up.
"Thank you for the help." The girl thanked Romeo.
"It's no problem. My name is Romeo." Romeo introduced himself.
"My name is Beth. It's nice to meet you." Beth replied.
"I'm guessing that either you are clumsy or that someone was picking on you." Romeo blurted out.
"Is it that obvious?" Beth asked.
"It might not be but I'm very observant." Romeo answered.
"Well when you are different than everyone else, then it makes you easier to pick on I guess." Beth sighed.
"Being different isn't wrong, it just makes like more interesting." Romeo pointed out.
"Ya, but those without many friends are usually targets." Beth explained.
"Well you can consider me a friend. If you ever need help with anything then just let me know, I'll stick up for you." Romeo told Beth.
"Alright, I will then."
Wendy was at a table with Chelia eating her lunch. Chelia was going on about some boy she thought was cute in her class. Wendy started to zone out as she thought about her homework.
"Hello, Earth to Wendy."
"Sorry, what did you say?" Wendy asked.
"I asked if you were ever going to ask Romeo out." Chelia retold Wendy.
"Chelia I told you I don't like him." Wendy replied as her face was covered with a blush.
"Come on, I've seen you looking at him when he would walk by. You were even staring at him right now." Chelia pointed out.
Wendy looked over where she was staring and realized that Romeo was sitting over there.
"I didn't even notice that Romeo was sitting over there." Wendy explained.
"You totally have a crush on him." Chelia teased as she started to tickle Wendy.
"Chelia stop it." Wendy squealed.
"Not until you admit it." Chelia told Wendy.
"I'm telling you I don't, and if I did then you would know." Wendy struggled to say through the laughter.
"Fine then, but once you realize it then you better tell me." Chelia replied.
The two continued to talk when they noticed a large crowd of people running towards the field.
"What's going on?" Wendy asked on of the people.
"A fight is about to start." The kid answered as he continued running.
"Let's go check it out." Chelia suggested.
"Sure, I want to make sure that it isn't Natsu in the fight." Wendy agreed.
The two ran with the crowd and noticed two boys they didn't recognize fighting.
"Good, it isn't Natsu fighting." Wendy sighed in relief.
The two boys fought, throwing punches at each other until a red haired girl appeared, grabbed both of their heads, and hit them together knocking the two boys out.
"Great Erza stopped the fight." Someone complained.
Erza wore a white top and a blue skirt. She wore the schools jacket, a blue jacket with the school's name on the back, with a badge on the right shoulder signifying that she was part of the disciplinary committee.
"Alright everyone, get going before I write you up for supporting this." Erza ordered the crowd.
Everyone in the crowd started to leave as the bell rang. Everyone separated and started to head back to their classes. Wendy got back to her seat and noticed that everyone was talking about the fight.
"That fight was totally lame."
"It might have gotten good if only Erza didn't stop it."
"She always ruins all the good fights."
"Don't let her hear you, remember she is the captain of the kendo club. She also did knock those two out with her bear hands."
"Alright class settle down, it's time to start class."
