Everything was normal and quiet as the sun rose. For Romeo and Wendy it was a day without the nagging of their dad/cat. They got dressed and coincidentally opened their doors at the same time. Romeo was a bit surprised, but Wendy being Wendy took this as normal and smiled.

"Good morning Romeo-san!"

"G-Good morning Wendy!" He greeted, feeling a little light headed after remembering he will be with her for a week. Maybe even longer. He shook his head as he walked down the long marble staircase with Wendy.

They walked down and saw Jane and Jason sitting at the table. Jane was in a simple black business suit. She fed Jason his baby food as she waited for her own.

"Good morning Jane-san!"

"Looks like you've woken up on the right side of the bed Wendy!" Jane said as she dabbed Jason's face with a small cloth. It was around this time that the food came out. Wendy's and Romeo's mouth watered at the smell and sight of it. There was so much food!

"Wow so much food!" Romeo looked to the butler. "This smells delicious!"

"Thankyou" the butler said as he bowed and left.

Wendy, Jane and Romeo eyed the food. There were pancakes that were dripping with butter and maple syrup. Strawberries, blueberries and banana pieces also seemed to crown the large stack. Shiny pieces of bacon on a separate platter with sunny side eggs with the most yellow yolks hot from the pan were literally calling their looked to each other and grinned.

"ITADAKIMASU~" They all cheered and together had had a serving of each. The pancakes were so light and fluffy. The flavours together with the fruit seemed to dance together. The bacon and eggs went together perfectly as each bite was savoured gratefully. When they were done, the butler which they found out was named David, packed up as they talked amongst themselves before it was nine.

"Seven o'clock only? I thought I was going to be late." Said Jane.

"Jane I notice you're not like any other rich woman I've met. You are very free, kind and very out going. Most of whom I 've met were..."Wendy started, but being Wendy she just couldn't say something bad about others.

She was just too nice for her own good.

Jane laughed "Thank you'" Jane then thought about something. "how old are you two again?"

"Thirteen, why?" asked Romeo.

"You know what. I trust you two. You will share a room. Don't worry separate beds. This is because I want you two to be as close to Jason as possible. he will be in the same room. You two are only thirteen so it shouldn't be a problem."

Romeo opened his mouth but

"nah-uh- uh" Jane said waving her finger. "Remember. I hired you and I expect you two to do so."

"Romeo gulped. " I-if it's for the Job then it should be fine right?"

"Right" said Jane. She gave Jason to Wendy and she went upstairs.

"I'll be back in a jiffy, I just need to call the military."

"O-ok" said Romeo. He looked to Wendy. She was as pale as paper. She didn't blink until Jason started to cry.

She started to bounce him in her arms as she stood up. Her eyes showed only tender loving care. Romeo was amazed as the baby soon calmed down and started to giggle. Wendy then smiled and put him into the high chair with a toy teddy bear.

"Romeo-san, can you do me a favour?"

He nodded.

"Can you take care of Jason for about five minutes? I need to fix something in my room."

"But I've never taken care of a baby!"
"I'll only be five minutes. There is something I am unsure of." and without any more hesitation she left leaving him with Romeo with his mouth open.

He turned to Jason. he was still giggling as he played with his teddy. Romeo sat on the nearest chair to Jason. Jason. Stopped playing and looked at Romeo. Romeo smiled. But that was when Jason started to cry. Romeo panicked. It hasn't even been ten seconds! Romeo picked Jason up and started to bounce him like Wendy did. But nothing. Romeo sat on the couch and sat Jason on his lap and looked at his crying face. Jason was so loud!

"shh, come on bro. Be a man! you're a strong mage in the making. You just got to grow up right?"

Jason sniffled. Romeo was just happy that he stopped crying. Romeo carried him to his high chair and wiped Jason's tears and nose. Soon Jason touched Romeo's arm and Romeo heard a voice.

You liiiike her and she liiiikes you.

Something that Happy would say was suddenly in his head. It sounded like the voice of …

"Jason did you say something?"

Yes... well no. I'm a telepathic mage. I can talk to you once I touch you. No matter how far away or close. But when within ten metres of me. I see everything in your head.

"You're pretty smart for a four month old! Do you speak to Jane?"

Just speak to me with your head. people will think you're crazy talking so seriously to a four month old. And yes I am smart. All babies are. Once they turn five, all their intelligence is stored away until a certain time. But for some infants they were lucky enough to keep their intelligence in certain areas. For example Mozart. He was one of what many of us call prodigies. Also, babies choose to act dumb. It's just for the better. No I do not choose to speak to my mother. I'll reveal it to her once I learn how to say "mommy". And if you are wondering, I did not 'talk' with Wendy

okay then... If y-you're so smart then... c-could you maybe

Give advice? Yes.

I can't believe it. Taking love advice from a four month old baby...

Look your situation is pretty good. In fact, I think it will work out very well so I'll help you.

Thanks?

No problem!

At the tent...

"What is Romeo doing?" asked Lucy

"is he sick? he's just staring at the kid!" asked another girl

"What about Wendy I wonder what she's checking up on?" Juvia pondered
"GUYS JUST SHUTUP!" Cana yelled

"Kyaa!"
"Can someone get Mira! it's only eight and she's already fainted twice!"
=.= Back at the estate...

Wendy opened her room door and gasped when she found something on her pillow that wasn't supposed to be there. It was a glowing crystal ball. The ball was a deep night sky blue but slowly inside many tiny particles of glowing blue dust that revolved inside it. The glass was light and thin yet very strong. It was about the size of her palm.

""h-how?" Wendy asked herself as tears of confusion began to roll down her cheek.

She closed her eyes as she held the small beautiful orb to her chest.

Wendy's dream...

Wendy, listen...

Grandine! I've missed you! Where are you? I've looked everywhere!

Young one I have much more important things to tell you.

Grandine revealed a white orb. Wendy's eyes widened at it's beauty.

There comes a time in every dragon and dragon slayer's life that there is a need for a mate. That will be for you maybe around 21 years of age.

At this Wendy blushed.

But when this orb appears physically in your life, which happens around the eighth hour of the day, it will be found a deep will mean that you have found your mate and that will mean that once you and your mate are 21 years of age a mark on your left shoulders will appear.

Also, When it turns red, a woman will appear in both of your lives. She will see fit that you two will be forever in love. She is of a species called the Fetheri . If anyone shall come to test your love from the moment she appears, they will be severely punished. By her hand.

Grandine I'm only thirteen! I don't know if he even likes me! And this woman! When will she come? Where? Why?

Grandine chuckled.

It will only appear dark blue when the strongest emotion that not even magic could defeat is emitted from both the owner and their mate. Also, your Fetheri will appear usually on the day you receive your orb. She will also be your closest of friends. When she comes to you she will bear to you and only you her heart. For once you are in contact with her, her life will end when your time of passing comes.

Grandine please, stay with me. If this happens, I'll need your help. Please.

My child, I will speak to you through your orb. But this is your story. Goodbye for now.

And just like that, Wendy woke up confused but with a strange happy feeling.

Wendy knew. She knew now that Romeo loved her just as much as she loved him but she can never tell him that. That will be just weird.

Wendy shook her head.

Act normal she thought to herself. she washed her face ,placed the orb carefully in her bag , which she slung over her shoulder and went outside to see a very serious looking Romeo who seemed to be staring at the baby with interest and understanding. She giggled at the sight.

"Romeo-san, you might scare Jason if you stare like that"
Romeo's head turned to Wendy.

Tell her to call you without honorifics. Jason advised

Okay?

"Wendy, we're nakama right?"
"Hai" she replied with confidence.

"Then call me Romeo. Just Romeo."

"sure!"

It was around this time that Jane came back. She looked at the three young kids with sad eyes.

"I'm sorry but the military is too busy for any hiring services and I don't have time to buy a new private defense crew." Jane said apologetically

"It's okay Jane-san, like I said. We are too young to command an army of any number."

"I suppose..." Jane looked to her watch and then to Jason.

"Honey, I'm sorry, Mommy needs to go for a bit." Jane told her son. "Be good. I love you." she planted a kiss on Jason's forehead, small tears eabout to brim.

"I promise, he is in good hands." Romeo insisted. Wendy nodded in agreement.

"You know what, let's all walk to the station together. A bit of morning air would feel wonderful." Wendy suggested. They all nodded and walked the long trail to the station.

When they got to the private station, the train just pulled up. Jane kissed Jason's forehead one last time.

"I trust you two, take care of him."

"Jane-san, don't worry. In one weeks time, you'll see him again."

Jane sighed and thanked them. She waved goodbye and entered the train.

At the guild...

Not a eye was dry as each female guild member dabbed the edges of their eyes at the depart of th mother and son. Sure it was only one week. But the danger that her son were in.

"JASON! YOU POOR THING!" Sobbed a dramatic Evergreen.

Lucy dapped her eye a little bit. " The boy is so lucky yet so unfortunate. Must Jane leave?"

Mira had already fainted from sadness.

Carla on the other hand was crying for the wrong reason. "Wendy... Sharing... a room... with … Romeo... Wendy... Sharing..." were all she kept saying with the most shakiest voice.

"Oi Carla*sniffle* have a heart. *sniffle* Think of jason. He has no*sniffle* dad and he is in danger and *sniffle his mom won't be there to soothe him for *sniffle* a DAMN WEEK! 8sniffle. *Do you know what its like to not have a mom or dad ther for even a second?* snif sniff* IT'S A DAMN HELL!"

Back to the estate...

"Romeo, its such a nice day, but there's nothing to do~" Wendy said out of looked to Wendy. This was a very different side of Wendy.

"Wendy, I found a note. Jane said that we can take him out as long as we are back by the end of the day."

"She really does trust us doesn't she?"

"Yeah...Let's take him to the guI-"

"Absolutely not"

"Eh?" Romeo was amazed by her confidence. He never knew she could be so blunt.

"If we take him there, it will be midday when we get there and midnight when we come back. Plus, The guild is full of very ,er interesting people that may accidentally harm him."

"You have a point."

We obviously knows who wears the pants if you two ever get into a relationship teased Jason.

Shut up

"You know what? we'll go to the nearby town. It's only a half hour walk . David the butler then walked in.

"ma'am I your room is now set. You said you need to do something once it was done?"
" Oh yes thank you David-san" she then turned to Romeo. "Excuse me for a bit"
Wendy ran up the stairs and walked into their room. She started to blush at the fact that they were in the same room at night. Thankfully there was a changing screen at the corner.

She opened her bag as she sat on one of the soft beds. She took out her orb. It was slowly becoming purple. It was almost time. Her Fetheri will arrive soon. she remembered Grandine's words. She will also be your closest of friends. When she comes to you she will bear to you and only you her heart's jewel. For once you are in contact with her, her life will end when your time of passing comes.

She went downstairs and looked to Romeo. He looked half asleep although it was only midday.

"Romeo, let's have lunch at the town. Then maybe we can go to the park and feed the ducks. I heard there is a very nice lake there. Also, I'm sure Jason will enjoy it. "

"Sure that sounds great." He then looked to David who was standing there not saying a word. "David, we promise we will be back at four"

"If Lady Jane trusts you, then so do I" He said. and with that He opened a cupboard and gave them a map. The town was indeed only thirty minutes away. It also had a large lake, and many small restaurants and cafes
It seemed very beautiful and that was from looking at the map.

"I can't wait to see it!" said a very excited Wendy.

"Yeah. I'm sure Jason would like it too."

It would be nice to see the town again I suppose. Commented a somewhat interested Jason.

That day was wonderful . Lunch was cheap but was much more than its worth. The food tasted like heaven! The townspeople were very nice and it was only three o'clock when they stopped at the lake to feed the ducks.

"Look Jason ducks!" Wendy said, trying to entertain the young infant.

Jason giggled. How adorable are these Anatidae Anseriformes.

Jason just say ducks.. Romeo said/thought.

When they left for home the sun was setting on a beautiful horizon.

"This place is really pretty don't you think Romeo?"
"hai"

Wendy felt a tap on her shoulder and she stiffened. She felt warm? and safe? She turned to see a smiling girl about her age. She was beautiful! Her jet black hair was sitting perfectly on her shoulder in a long plait that went up to her waist and they contrasted perfeclty to her deep red eyes. She wore a dress that went up to her knees. It was white and seemed angelic but very casual looking. She also wore a single gold necklace that had a golden heart with small inscriptions of an unknown language.

Wendy felt so familiar around her. And began to blush intensly. All that's left now is the eight year wait for the mate symbol to appear.

"Wendy what are you -" Romeo started but when he saw Wendy red and frozen but staring into the nothingess he got a bit worried

Before Romeo said anything to Wendy ,said girl interrupted "Sorry Romeo excuse us I mean me, uh I will be right back I promise."

And Just like that Wendy was running, following a girl tha no ne could see.

When they entered a small secluded area of the park she looked to Wendy and giggled a little bit. Wendy sweat dropped. This girl's an airhead.

"NIce to meet you. I'm Azami. Now we have work to do don't we?Wen-dy-chan~" said an extremely bubble headed Fetheri suonding out every syllable of her name. She then cleared her throat and looked serious all of a sudden. She then spoke with her normal voice which suprisingly slightly sounded like Cana's voice, just more cuter. "From within two seconds of being within the presence of you and your chosen mate-"

"I DIDN'T CHOOSE HIMON PURPOSE!"
The Fetheri ignored her.

"I deem you both are emotionally in love as they say. As your Fetheri I will begin with the rituals of which has been done with every dragon slayer that has encountered true love. Now wendy I ask you there is a choice."
"Ch-choice?"

"Hai a choice. Every dragon slayer that goes through this ritual is given a choice. Do you want me to be visible to JUST you and your mate, be visible to the public or be completely invisible to everyone but you. All choices will give you the power to see all Fetheri of dragon slayers of your own generation. In your case, the first generation dragon slayers."

"Um, I think I will have the second should be able to see you."

"Good now There is a second part to that choice. That is to answer one question. Why that choice?"

Wendy turned a deep shade of red that could rival Erza's hair. "U-um *gulp* because, if Romeo and I do have a future together, then he should know that we have someone protecting whatever relationship we have. Right?"

"Good answer. Now here comes the most important bit." and like that, Azami's gold necklace began to glow and the inscriptions slowly became words that Wendy understood. It read:

A heart be given.A heart be in love does life live.

Azami's eyes were no longer a deep red, but a glowing light. When her eyes came back to normal she continued to glow and she smiled a kind smile as she gave a small blue gem.

"Within this my heart is contained. Do you have your orb?"

Wendy took out the orb which was now a deep took it and as if the orb became a ball of water, Azami's hand inserted the orb and placed the gem of her heart in the middle. She then slowly took out her hand and the orb became solid and began to glow a deep blue. A sound of a humming chime seemed to fill the air as it glowed. As the glowing and humming faded the orb was of the darkest, deepest shade in it's middle, seeming not to have a middle. The edges were a slightly lighter colour as if the orb continued to glow dimly.

"Um we better get going. It's been about fifteen minutes. Romeo might be getting worried."

And so they did. But just before getting within the eyesight of Romeo, it hit Wendy. What will she use as an excuse?

"Azami... um are you going to hang around us much? Because Romeo and I are on a Job and I don't think that you will be able to-"
"Wendy don't worry. I live close by AND I have a plan so yeah" Azami said cheerfully.

They continued on to Romeo, who was telepathically talking to Jason

So whats up with Wendy?
I don't know. Its like a wall in her mind that won't let me in! Wait is that Azami?

Who ? and Romeo turned around to see Azami and Wendy chatting happily. He ran up to Wendy.

"Wendy, where've you been? Its almost 3:50! we need to hurry! u-um who is this?"
"Hi I'm Azami. A good friend of Wendy. You are?"

"Romeo Conbolt." He said scratching his head.
"So Azami-chan, will we be seeing you more?" Wendy asked.

"Hai. I live nearby so I'll visit."

"But are you sure its okay?" Wendy asked.

"Well you see. Jane is kind of my …"

"Your what?"
"My Auntie"

….

Wendy could not believe her ears. Auntie? Fetheri's have family? Is Jane a Fetheri? Wendy thought she'll ask her later.

"Okay. Then I gues it should be fine then right Romeo?"

Romeo nodded "yeah" So you are related to her?

Yeah. I didn't know she knew Wendy. Funny thing is, I've never been able to read her mind.

"Well lets all go back now."

"Yeah that should be good."
"I'll come with you guys!"

And so they came back to the Estate. Azami stayed for dinner and as usual, David's cooking was amazing.

That night, Romeo and Wendy slept with Jason in the space in the middle of the two beds. Wendy and Romeo were prepared for any attack. But that night was left peaceful and quiet.

THe next morning, Azami was there.

"Ohayo Azami-chan!"

"Ohayo Wendy-chan!"

"Ohayo..."

Romeo was still dazed about the fact that he and Wendy slept in the same room together. But they were only thirteen so its harmless right?

"It's your third day here isn't it? Four more days to go and you two will be going back wouldn't you?"
"Yup. I wonder if Natsu-nii will be on a mission if we get back" Romeo said.

"Natsu? as in THE salamander? COOL! You know him?"

"Yeah and he's awesome!"

"So awesome that you follow him almost everywhere" Wendy teased. Romeo blushed. She was right. But still. Who knew that Wendy could tease at all.

The day went on like that. And each day was very nice. One day they went go to the park. Another day they explored the garden/forest. But things were quiet. Too quiet. For the past three days, no attacks or threats have happened. And each day they would get even more scared about what was happening. IT was just too suspicious.

Back at the guild...

"That girl looks very er random"

"yeah she just pops out of nowhere!"

"Do you think she's up to something?"

"I think she's on our side. She keeps trying to put Wendy and Romeo together. Remember when they walked through the garden? Jason needed to change nappies and without saying anything, she took him to the house to change him and left Romeo and Wendy together . She also took like half an hour to comeback "

All the women nodded. No one knew who was saying what.

Carla and Mira were passed out. Carla out of sadness. Mira out of happiness.

"Don't you think it's a little weird that there have been no attacks lately?"
"I dunno lets just keep watching"

In an unknown place...

"My daughter will get married to that boy. If she does then every jewel will be shared between us and we will be the richest family in the world" A deep male voice said.
"Indeed. But our agents aren't strong enough against such mages honey" said a female voice.

"Don't worry we are planning something. And we will get rich."

"Jane will regret the day she ever left."
And the voices stopped when a small faint crying noise was heard.

"Hush now my darling little girl" the female voice cooed.

"You will make us rich one day"

And the couple laughed as their daughter's wailing continued.


Im not so much a person that can do cliffhangers because what happened in the end was just too obvious. But I can't think of anything else so yeah.

Um this Chapter was a little confusing. Maybe even a bit boring so heres just what I want to clear up.

Fetheri- A Fetheri makes sure that the dragonslayer and their mate will always love each other and will make sure that anyone who tries to breaks their relationship will be punished severely.

Azami- Azami is Jane's neice andWendy's Fetheri. She will now hang out a lot with Wendy.

Tell me if their is anything else thats confusing! :D
