Wendy stretched. It was about sunrise. She looked next to her. Jason was fast asleep and seemed so fragile when he was asleep. Soon Jason's eyes began to flutter open and his big blue eyes stared into Wendy's. Wendy smiled.
"Good morning Jason! Had a nice sleep?"
Jason giggled and reached out his hands. His way of asking her to pick him up. Of course Wendy complied and picked him up. She looked to the other side of the room. Romeo was still fast asleep. Wendy started to stare and blush a little. She shook her head.
I need to tell him as soon as we get to the guild. she thought. She looked to Jason who seemed to look at Wendy really hard.
"Something the matter Jason? Oh you must be hungry, right?" The truth was Jason was trying to find out what Wendy was thinking. But he just couldn't get in!
Jason yawned. He was a baby after all "Oh you know what its too early. You sleep in a little. Okay?" And Wendy put him down and went behind the changing screen to change. She washed her face and brushed her teeth. She went downstairs to help David make breakfast. She did enjoy doing that as David was so nice and taught her how to do many things (like boiling water without burning it) in the kitchen. Before she couldn't even cut a carrot because for one thing Carla would be too restrictive and because of Carla's nagging, Wendy couldn't do much in the kitchen since her confidence would slowly be chipped away by Carla saying that she might get burnt, cut or some other thing. But David taught her how to cook properly and she now could cook without burning anything.
When Wendy came downstairs David wasn't there yet so she thought she might have her time of peace and quiet. So she did some breathing exercises. She sat on the floor. Legs crossed. She breathed in and let all her magic flow in her body like a soft breeze. She breathed out and felt all her weaknesses and fears leave her body. This continued for five minutes when she was interrupted.
"Wendy-chan~" Chirped Azami. Wendy yelped out of surprise
"Uh Azami-chan. Good morning! Um how long were you there?"
"Since you came downstairs. You are definitely getting stronger. But I need to talk to you."
"Sure Azami-chan. What is it?"
"When are you going to tell Romeo that you chose him to be your mate?"
Wendy blushed intensely. "Um I was thinking to do it in stages. You know I'm only thirteen so I can't just say 'Hey Romeo guess what I love you and you can't do anything about it because you're my mate now!' I mean it would be so weird! I'll tell him once I get a proper, strong relationship with him."
"That's a good thing. Also, I'm going to join your guild so that I will be able to make sure some girl won't cosy up to him. No way in hell will I let your relationship get ruined."
"I do appreciate that Azami. I know the guild will accept you with open arms."
" Um Wendy, when are you going to confess to him. I'm guessing that was step one right"
"Yep that is step on. I'm thinking when we finish the job, then I'll tell him."
"No tell him sooner Wendy-chan!" whined Azami.
"Definitely not. We need to focus on our job. To keep Jason safe." said a stern Wendy.
"You know what? it's almost seven I'll just start breakfast before David wakes up. He should be up soon anyways." said Wendy. Little did she know that Azami was up to something.
She took out some pans and started frying some eggs. Then she started whisking a batter of pancakes. She then started cooking those and made took out some dough from a few days ago. She kneaded it and rolled it out. She cut out some scones and put them in the took the eggs off the pan and put it onto a plate and flipped the last pancake as she put the bacon onto another pan. She put the last pancake onto the pile and took a small piece of butter and put it on the top of the pile along with some syrup. It was around this time that the bacon was ready. She plated everything up and put everything on the table. She then went outside to the orchards to get some oranges. She came back inside and squeezed out the oranges for orange juice. She put the jug down on the table.
She felt satisfied with herself when she heard footsteps. David looked like he was rushing as he put his tie on he then froze at the sight of the ready braekfast.
"Lady Wendy, I am deeply sorry for not accompanying you in the task of making you breakfast."
"David-san, its fine. All is taken care of. "
"You are too kind. Also I will be out this morning. If you haven't noticed our pantry stock is just incredibly low and I must restock" Said David.
"Go ahead. We'll stay here today. "
David bowed and left. "David-san you don't want breakfast?" Wendy called as he began running to the grocery stores.
"There will be no lunch if I don't hurry" He replied as he ran " Besides, there is a good café near there. I'll just stop by. Thank you for your concern!" Called David as slowly he went out of sight.
Wendy just shook her head and went back inside and there was Romeo leaning on a wall looking at the table of food. At the staircase Azami was smiling devilishly at Wendy as she held Jason. Romeo then looked to Wendy and started to walk to her and did something that caught Wendy totally of track. He went up and hugged her. But that wasn't what made her blush.
"Wendy-chan~ I love you! Never leave me!" Romeo said. Wendy's eyes widened!
She looked to Azami and she was laughing really hard.
Romeo then snapped out of it and blushed when he noticed himself hugging Wendy. He stepped back
"What happened? I was walking downstairs then I'm here hugging W-Wendy? What's going on?"
Romeo then stopped talking . Not only because he was embarrassed. But he was scared. Of Wendy. That's right. Wendy. She had a very scary aura around her and she was staring at Azami with eyes that could kill. Azami laughed nervously and walked to Romeo. She gave Jason to Romeo and ran out the door. Well more sprinted. But Wendy followed and jumped onto her back , making Azami fall.
Romeo just watched.
"Azami! How could you do that! I thought I said stages!" Wendy yelled as she pulled out a tree branch and started hitting Azami's head.
"GOMEN! GOMEN! GOMEN! I was just so BORED nothing was really happening!"
"KYAA! You better be sorry!" Wendy said.
Romeo was speechless. Wendy was scary when she was angry. Wendy walked back into the house, followed by an Azami with huge bruises on her head, who was slightly laughing.
Wendy then turned around and smiled sweetly at both of them. " Let's eat?"
"H-hai!" They both said nervously. Never again will they unleash angry Wendy.
At the guild...
"My, my Azami sure got a beating, though that was quite a show when Romeo was under some potion Magic" said a very happy Mira.
"Now you don't faint?" Asked a very sarcastic Cana.
"That Romeo... How DARE he!" Gritted Carla in her little Chair.
"Juvia needs to get a potion like that!"
"Who knew Wendy was so... scary"
"She is a dragon slayer, but she always kept her calm."
"DO you think Romeo remembers what he did?"
"No but I wish we could see what Wendy is doing! Mira... Tell me again why we can't switch to Wendy and what she's up to?"
"Because I didn't put a lacrima on her! How many times do I have to say it!"
All the girls sweat dropped.
" Anyways Jane should be back soon right?"
"Yeah, she's three day's late so the have an extra 1500J to their 100 000J isn't it so that's about 101 500J"
"MIRA! why couldn't you give me that Job. I need the money!"
"Be quiet would you? I'm trying to watch!"
Outside the tent
"Man it's only men in this guild hall ! We're starving!"
"Why don't you just let me co-"
"No Way in hell are we making Flame brain cook again. We all almost died from the spiciness"
"What did you say underpants king?!"
Back at the estate
After a day of watching video lacrimas, taking care of Jason and relaxing in the pool that they discovered a few days ago, all together Wendy was next to Romeo about twelve times and almost bumped into him countless times. All this thanks to Azami.
At about 4 o'clock the doorbell rang.
"Hello I am the Agatha Hale. I am the mother of my daughter Kiley. This my husband Ben."
"Nice to meet you" Wendy said with caution. " But I know who you are and let me tell you this. You will never get Jason"
"I doubt that a puny mage such as yourself can defeat me! The great and all powerful Ben!"
Azami then hear the kafuffle and walked up to the family.
"Listen here mister! Wendy has beaten some of the strongest mages in all of Fiore and no one will get their hands on Jason. Not while, Romeo , Wendy and I are alive, NO ONE will ever get their hands on my cousin!"
"My niece is right" Jane said normally, walking up to Ben , Donna and Kiley. She was surrounded by ten Lawyers that meant business. " Let your daughter live a happy life. We can live peacefully and let our children find love!"
"No!" yelled Agatha "I want my fortune! My money!"
"There is more to life than money. I am not happy because of my house, my garden or my money! For all I could care, I could be homeless and on the streets and still be happy. As long as my son is happy and healthy, I will do anything for him!"
"You made a grave choice. I will fight for your son to be married to my daughter at the age of eighteen!"
"Unless they fall in love, then I will allow the fact that they may be married. But they are not in love. In fact they have never even met. And I will not force my son or manipulate his life to love someone. That is his own task when he gets older. I have lawyers that now will keep him from ever being in an arranged marriage"
Agatha was furious.
"NO I WANT MY MONEY! BEN DO SOMETHING!" Yelled Agatha.
"Gladly" and like that Ben's hand was on fire and he was charging at Jane. She put a shield up in front of her. Azami walked to Jane and gave Jason to her. Romeo Ran to Ben.
"Regret the day you ever went against the friends of Fairy Tail!" And like that the man that they fought at the beginning of the job appeared. He had a very sneer voice. " I may not be as strong as Ben-sama, but I will defeat you!" and he pulled out his sword and it seemed to be electrified. Romeo breathed in and started dodging the swings of the sword. He noticed that the sword was very heavy making it hard to even move it . attacked the man at several points To some it seemed he was doing pointless things with his fire as it changed colour with each blow, but what really was happening was that his fire was weakening the man at his arms.
Wendy was fighting Ben. " Jane-san, quickly, run into the house we've go this!" and Jane did.
"I'll protect them should anything happen!" Yelled Azami.
Wendy then looked at Ben. "so you are who they call the Sky maiden?"
"Call me whatever you want. You're going to be defeated. I won't hold back!"
Ben merely laughed "You? defeat ME?"
"no second chances Ben!" and Wendy began her magic. "Sky dragon's roar!" Ben stood with his arms covering his head to protect his eyes from the dust being lifted. Wendy then started to run around ben with her wind power and bound him. She then did something that she learnt while playing a game with Azami a few days ago. She ran and kicked his stomach making him fall on to the ground. She then jumped up and flipped mid air and was literally floating in midair. she then for some reason heard Grandine's voice. Wendy, say the following words. Secret wind spell, pured mind. as you do this, your body will begin to move on its own do not resist. By using this spell, all evil in any person within fifty metres will vanish. Wendy did as so. Her body move and she felt as if she were a leaf in the wind. Her eyes then glowed and so did her body. Then a huge flash of light appeared and blinded everyone. The light disappeared and Wendy was still standing. Tired but unscathed. She sighed and walked up to Ben.
He was crying. So was Agatha. "We're sorry. Please forgive us."
"Of course" said Jane who just popped out of nowhere. "Please leave though. I believe it's almost dinner and I have important plans."
"Of course... Thankyou for your kindness" and just like that the couple, their daughter and the mysterious man were gone.
"we won't have dinner here. I'm moving to Magnolia Town. I found an estate there. Also, seeing you two, I think that Fairy Tail is a wonderful place. Do you think they would let me and my son join? I would rather do jobs with my magic instead my other business job."
"Yes of course!" Wendy said.
"Our family will love to have some new members." Romeo added.
"Then you won't mind if I join as well?"
"No, of couse you can join too. Didn't I tell you that before Azami-chan?"
"Aroigatou. This estate needs to be sold and you two need to be paid. That is about 101 500 J isn't it?"
Jane fished out some money out of her wallet and gave it to the two." I know it isn't a lot but you two are only thirteen! But now that I have given you two the money, you better get your bags. David has already packed your stuff. It's in the kitchen."
"o-okay" and they both left. Sure other missions had bigger rewards. But this is too much for two kids.
They got their stuff and went on the train to Magnolia.
Back at the guild...
"THEY'RE COMING! EVERYBODY PACK UP AND BE NORMAL! WE'RE GETTING NEW MEMBERS" yelled Cana. All the girls were packing up the tent and stashed it somewhere in the back. Mira walked in behind Erza into the guild hall. At the sight of Mira, every man was begging for food.
"Calm down everyone, we're getting new members so we'll party later okay?"
"Hai~"
They all just waited. And waited. Until Lucy spoke up. "Wait a minute. Isn't the train ride a few hours long? They won't be here until tommorrow!"
They all groaned. But then Master came with a huge grin.
"MINNA! OUR GUILD HAS OUR OLD BUILDING BACK! LETS GET GOING BACK TO OUR PRIDEFUL BUILDING AND LEAVVE THIS SORRY EXCUSE OF A GUILD BUILDING!"
They all cheered. No more of this old shack that they were forced into. Now they were going back to the guild which held the memories of the times before Tenrou.
They left a note on the door of a guild telling Wendy, Romeo and anyone else that they moved back.
The next morning Romeo woke up and found Wendy was leaning on his shoulder while he had his head leaning on her. He blushed a little at their position, but kept his chance. He continued to sleep, breathing in the scent of her hair. But soon the train's jolt woke them both up and when Wendy realized what she was doing she stood up laughing uncomfortably and opened the train cabin door to see a smiling Azami.
"I'm am your Fetheri and judging by your face, I think you figured out how you were sleeping. Just so you know, I have photos." she whispered.
"Those photo's better be burned" she whispered back. "Romeo, we're here. Lets go! Jane and jason must've gotten off by now!"
Romeo nodded. He was a little disappointed that they could've slept a little longer. Oh well.
They got out and saw Jane and Jason, with suitcases. "That's all you're bringing?"
"Well, later on in time all our stuff will get moved back to our new estate."Jane said.
"Okay lets head to the guild!" Romeo said. But when they got there they were overjoyed to find out that they got their old building back. Before any of them did anything though they stopped at each of their house/ apartments/estate to drop off their stuff.
As they headed to Wendy's apartment Wendy spoke"That reminds me." Wendy turned to Azami "Do you want to be my roomate?"
"I'd loved to Wendy-chan Im so excited!" After dropping off all their stuff the were back to their Guild. Not the shack, but the big and majestic guild which seemed to leak of pride, fun and family.
Before they entered the Guild's gate, Azami , Jason and Jane walked ahead while Wendy and Romeo stayed a little behind.
"Wendy you know what?"
"What?"
"I'm really happy we went on this mission together. From now on let's be official partners!"
"Hai!"
Then Romeo was quiet for a little and thought for a little bit.
"Wendy..."
"Yes Romeo?"
And Romeo kissed her cheek.
"I really like you. Wendy"
Wendy smiled. She hugged him. She knew he wasn't under some potion.
"Me too."
They then ran up to Jane, Jason and Azami.
Good job. I knew you had it in you! Jason said/thought encouragingly
Romeo stayed silent. He just smiled.
"Good job" whispered Azami to Wendy
"what did I do?"
"You confessed"
"Actually he did."
"Whatever you want!"
They opened the guild doors. Everyone was cheering at the sight of the two. You see, when they saw them come down the street, they thought they might greet the young mages from the roof. But then when they saw Romeo kiss Wendy's cheek they went berserk and started partying before they even entered the building.
"FINALLY YOU BACK WENDY!" called Carla who flew to Wendy and hugged her. Carla then looked to Romeo and slanted her eyes. "I'm watching you brat"
But Romeo looked at Carla and raised his eyebrow." And what are you going to do?"
Carla got angry and started punching his head but he just started to laugh and he walked to Natsu.
"Azami, that is my exceed. Carla. She really is nice so don't mind her"
Azami blinked. Wendy then looked to Jane and Jason. " Gomen, know that you didn't expect to find such a rowdy crowd. But this is Fairy Tail. And here we are all family."
"It's alright. I need a little rowdy in my life. Its too boring to live all prim and proper anyways."
Wendy smiled and then led them to a squealing MiraJane.
"I told you so I told you so I told you so! You two are practically meant for each other" She said.
"Mira, this is Jane, Jason and Azami. Can they join the guild they are very strong mages. Jason is just a baby, but Jane says he will be a mage when he gets older."
"Hai"
As the three got their insignias Romeo was being asked questions.
"So how long exactly did you like her?"
"were you planning this all along?"
"You are MAN!"
Then Natsu and Gajeel spoke up. Natsu may be a brother figure to Romeo, but he is also very protective of Wendy. The same thing for Gajeel. Countless times have Wendy saved his life from all those injuries he got from all those missions.
"Romeo" They both said with dark auras surrounding them.
"You better be careful with Wendy!"
"Hurt her once and you'll be crushed!"
Romeo gulped and shivered. "H-Hai"
Azami walked up to Gajeel and Natsu. Natsu and Gajeel recognised her being immediately. They looked to her. Then to Romeo. Mouths open , eyes wide. They couldn't believe it! So young!
"Treat her well Romeo~" they laughed and left.
Wendy then ran up to them.
"Natsu, Gajeel I have to ask-"
"Wendy you're so young!" Natsu said as he carried her like a baby and started to hug her. "Kids grow up to fast!"
"Wendy, you know you just tied yourself down for life right?"
"Natsu please put me down!" Natsu did so and Wendy cleared her throat to explain. " UM you see, I tried as much as I could to ignore the feeling. But then I had a dream and then the orb cam and then Azami came and I didn't do it on purpose okay!?"
"Wow. Does he know that you 'accidentally' chose him?"
"No...Now can I ask you two something?"
"Go ahead."
"Do you have Fetheri?"
Silence.
"Well last this morning you see I found this" Natsu showed his orb except his orb was gold.
"And I found this as well" Gajeel Showed hiorb which was blue, like Wendy's but much lighter.
Wendy smiled. "You two, I think I know who it is!"
And Wendy laughed and went to Levy and Lucy.
"She better not say anything"
"Otherwise we're dead meat"
The two gulped.
The next day, everything was back to normal. Everyone was shouting. People were drunk. Others were eating. But when the guild doors open to see two young thirteen year olds chatting happily, everyone knew that they were too damn cute.
