BlackLynx17: HELLO EVERYONE! So like, I totally just cut my hair and it's weird... but I love it!
Edolas.
Chapter 6.
Caught kissing in the kiddie pool! How embarrassing can I get?! Ugh, I'm going to need to avoid Bisca and Azlack for a while now. Kissing in the kiddie pool... I would make a horrible parent. I couldn't help myself though when Wendy brought up our past like that, saying those sweet words, looking at me with those innocent eyes.
I felt myself heating up thinking about her and sighed, walking over to the bar inside of the guild. No one was there so I helped myself behind the counter for a drink along with a clean rag, drying my hair off with it.
"Try this, it'll work better."
Edolas Wendy was sitting across the counter with a towel in her hand, giggling lightly at me as she watched. I grinned and placed the soaked rag on the counter, grabbing the towel and wrapping it around my waist.
"Thanks, I thought I'd help myself to a drink before drying off." I explained to her.
"Make it two drinks then. You do know that there is another bar outside where the drinks are being served, right?" Edolas Wendy asked me.
"Yeah, but outside is where Bisca and Azlack are at and they caught me... in a compromising position with Wendy in the kiddie pool."
Edolas Wendy started crying out in laughter while I blushed lightly, turning my back towards her as I searched for two glasses and a bottle of my favorite liquor.
"Oh my God! Oh my God Doranbolt that is just so bad!" She cried out.
"Don't remind me." I groaned pouring us a drink.
I placed the cup in front of her and she started wiping her tears away, smiling lightly at me. She picked up her glass and held it towards mine.
"For getting caught making out in the kiddie pool!" She said.
"Ugh," I groaned clinking our glasses together.
We both took a sip and placed our glasses back on the counter. I took the time to notice Edolas Wendy in her baby blue and white bikini she was wearing, her chest popping out and showing while her legs were just out and open. I didn't notice them before because of the towel she had on, but now that it wasn't covering her at all I, I, I should not be looking at it like this. I looked back to her face that was scrunched up tightly as she licked her lips.
"You always did like the strong ones." She coughed out gently.
"I thought Edolas people were supposed to be different and yet I keep hearing how much we're alike." I told her pouring myself another glass.
She held her glass out as well, "well essentially we are, but that doesn't mean we still can't like the same things. The King, after living for so long here, has came up with a theory that ourselves here and ourselves in Edolas may not be the same person, but have the same soul or spirit as well as our other selves in any other world or dimension. He couldn't really theorize it or prove it since he didn't really study it all that much, but it just sounds a bit right, right? I mean, just look at your two Wendy's. We both fell in love with the same man."
"I can understand that, to tell you the truth I was sort of happy when you told me I was with you in another world. That only I was with my Wendy." I confessed.
Wendy, no, Edolas Wendy brushed her hair behind her ear and smiled, "you were always the possessive type."
"Still am, you should see me when that punk Romeo comes around Wendy. I know he's her age, I know they're friends, but he knows I'm dating her so he should back off." I mumbled taking another drink.
Edolas Wendy started laughing again, her giggles making her hair become more undone. I reached over and brushed it behind her ear again, staring at how long it has gotten.
"I love your hair," I mumbled trailing my hands down it.
"Every time you speak it's like you're saying all the words he once told me." She whispered.
I was tipsy, on the borderline of getting drunk after two shots because I didn't know how else to explain why I was touching her hair like this and saying words I knew were misleading and unfair. I took a deep breath through my nose and sighed out, pulling away.
"Can you tell me more about him? My other self?" I asked.
"What do you want to know?" Wendy asked looking into my eyes.
Not my Wendy though. No matter how much she looked like her, acted like her, even smelled like her, this wasn't the Wendy I fell in love with and I had to remember that.
"Everything, anything, how did you two first meet?"
"He was apart of the king's army, hellbent on shutting down stray guilds that have managed to escape the king's clutches. You were, he was a very good spy and would often join guilds and shut them down from the inside-"
"I just can't escape betraying my friends no matter what universe I'm in, huh?" I moaned to myself.
"Did something like that happened here?"
"Yeah, but that's another story entirely. Continue please."
"Oh, well when you came to Fairy Tail... it was love at first sight for me. I kept trying to catch your eye and go on missions with you, you were always elusive though and would come up with an excuse," she said then smiled lightly at her hands, "until one day I just straight up asked you for a date and you finally said yes."
"Not me Edolas Wendy, not me." I reminded her.
"I'm sorry, my Doranbolt. I'm so sorry, I just..." She closed her eyes and sighed out.
"It's okay, I understand."
I should have grabbed her hand, I wanted to, but I restrained myself.
"H-he finally said yes. It was the best date of my life and shortly after we started going out. About two months in you- he, my Doranbolt came clean about his past, his job, everything to me and begged for me to forgive him. Of course I did, I loved him, and together we told our Fairy Tail and he became a member for real. Later he told me the reason why he avoided me so much was because he felt the same way, that it was love at first sight for him too. He was so wrapped up in his mission though that he avoided me, but after spending time with our guild, our family he found himself lowering his guards."
She started laughing lightly and I found myself smiling with her.
"He told me that taking me out for a date was the worst decision that he ever made in his life because right after he knew that he was going to have to betray his king and country to stay with me."
"You make the other me sound so pleasant, I'm flattered." I grinned.
"He really was; he wasn't as calm as you, more like Natsu with a short temper, but I loved him all the same... Doranbolt... I'm really sorry again, about our first meeting. The more I talk to you, the more I realize that no matter what you can never be the Doranbolt I lost and, I just really hope you forgive me for using you and hurting my other self. I'm so sorry."
I couldn't control as my hand reached out for hers this time and held it, "it's alright Wendy, I've forgiven you for that as well as my own Wendy. I can understand... I'm so sorry you lost your Doranbolt. I'm sorry that my whole being is a constant reminder of him to you."
"It's not always a bad reminder, thanks to you I'm remembering small memories that I've completely forgotten about. It's good to be reminded about the small details you never looked twice at."
This could have been my Wendy if anything happened to me, or me actually. If Wendy hadn't been found after Tenjou, I could have been acting like Edolas Wendy right now. Clinging to the past. Would Edolas Fairy Tail still came over here if none of them returned? Would I have met this Wendy if my Wendy disappeared? If so, then would we have used each other like she tried to use me? Simply replace each other with almost the real-
There was a deep coughing sound and the two of us broke eye contact, looking at Jellal, no, the Edolas Jellal standing in the abandoned guild staring at us.
"Mystogun," Edolas Wendy said lightly.
His face was emotionless, I knew he was wondering what was going on between us though. I pulled my hand back slowly to make it seem like it wasn't a big deal, even though it clearly was, and started realizing what exactly I was doing and thinking about earlier before.
"Was there something you needed King?" Edolas Wendy asked while I reached for my drink.
"Not anymore, excuse me for intruding." Mystogun said before walking back where he came from.
"I really just cannot get a break from getting caught with you." I groaned screwing the cap and drinking straight from the bottle.
"Again, my fault, it's a good thing that your Wendy trusts you so much though. I'm going to go back out there so he doesn't suspect anything else, though there was nothing... right?" Edolas Wendy asked me lightly.
I looked up and saw her tilt her head slightly, her hair falling over her shoulders as she gave me an innocent look. I didn't know if she was doing this to me on purpose or subconsciously on accident, but I felt all myself control being pushed to the limits right now.
"Nothing at all, just two friendly people chatting." I agreed.
She nodded her head and bit her bottom lip before walking away. What was I doing right? I was definitely tipsy now, what was I doing though? Wasn't I making out with my girlfriend before? Kissing her then disappearing from embarrassment? How did that go to thinking about a future where my Wendy was gone and Edolas Wendy was left?
"Oh God," I groaned.
I love my Wendy, truly I do. Every time the other her comes around I just find myself feeling so bad for her and I start to pity her and allow myself to comfort her because in a sense she's mine. If she's connected to my Wendy and if Wendy belongs to me, then they both are mine. It's only fair that I take care of her because I don't my Wendy ever to feel sad or alone. It wasn't right though because, because...
My Wendy didn't like her other self being with me. I told her she had nothing to fear, was I completely 100% sure of that though? Where was my Wendy? I teleported back to the pool side and looked around for her, seeing her still in the kiddie pool with Asuka and... Mystogun. Oh no, that is not a good thing.
Edolas Wendy was back where she was sitting at, suntanning as she read a magazine and why did my eyes instantly go to look for her? What was going on with yourself Doranbolt?! Get it together!
You know who you are in love with, so stop trying to set yourself up for disaster!... I belonged to Wendy Marvell... technically speaking though... they were both Wendy Marvell.
