WENDY P.O.V

Seven years. I had been asleep for seven years if I am being totally honest it didn't feel like that at all. I could remember the explosion and then it was as though I blinked and it was seven years later. Seeing everyone again was both a happy moment and a sad one because although I was so happy to see them again. I realized that they had suffered seven years without us they had lost nearly everything but stayed together because they believed that we were coming back. One person in particular I couldn't believe was standing right in front me. That was Romeo Conbolt.

As Gramps gave his speech I looked over at him he was awfully cute the way his dark hair fell teasingly across his face. He was taller his features were more defined and he was wearing a vest and baggy pants just like Natsu . After Gramps finished his speech I was pumped for training I never liked fighting but I would fight for the honor of my guild. As I turned around I faced Romeo and something came over me I lunged at him wrapping my arms around his neck. I hugged him tight he was surprised at first but he gently hugged me around my waist. I could feel tears forming but I tried to fight them back which didn't work. I felt so happy to be able to even see my guild mates again considering on the island I was sure I would die. At the same time I felt so guilty I had left everyone and Romeo for seven years. I had just disappeared on them without any warning I remembered when my guild had disappeared on me. Feeling alone like that I never experienced pain like that and to do that to Fairytail. I couldn't help but cry.

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

Romeo gave a small sigh and tightened his grip on my waist pulling me closer.

"It's ok your home now that's all that matters." He whispered back.

I smiled and said goodbye I had training to do which for the most part was fun. Unlocking my Second Origin wasn't the best experience very painful in fact but it was worth it I was so much stronger. Not that it mattered much I was attacked and unable to participate in the preliminaries. I felt like I had let my whole guild down again I felt useless again. When I woke up Porluysica was fixing some herbs for me and told me that Romeo had been here earlier. I don't know why but it made me smile to hear that he had been here to check up on me. Too bad I had been asleep unable to talk to him apparently him and the entire guild were really worried about me. They also wanted to catch my attacker but for now I told them to focus on the Games. It was a pretty disappointing start with Natsu, Lucy, and Gray all losing but slowly we started gaining ground. Eventually I was given the ok from Porlyusica to participate in the Games again and I was determined to win one for my guild. I was going to versus a girl named Cheryl I wasn't too keen on fighting her but for my guild I would.

Macao P.O.V

I was looking forward to Wendy's match she seemed so determined and she had worked so hard. It certainly showed when Wendy pulled off her Sky Drill I was in shock at how that shy little girl had become such a fierce warrior. But after learning about Cheryl ability as a God Slayer things weren't looking so good for Wendy. I noticed as she lost ground my son Romeo his jaw clenched. His hands were tightening around the railing he looked ready to jump over the railing and into the fight. I was baffled by his expression I couldn't wrap my head around it. But I focused on the match again when Wendy had dropped to one knee things weren't looking good. As Cheryl told Wendy to give up it resulted in death stares and glares from Fairytail. But I looked over Wendy who was bruised and drained of nearly all her magical energy. I didn't know how much more she could take but suddenly Wendy bolted energy and anger blazing in her eyes and she screamed.

"The fact that I'm standing her now means I'm also prepared to fight on behalf of my Guild. I don't need your pity. Until I've fallen and become unable to move any longer, please come at me with all you strength!"

Seeing her stand so tall, proud and mighty it was hard to believe this was still the same Wendy Marvell. The whole guild and even the stadium roared in approval as Wendy and Cheryl started exchanging blows. Wendy was fiercely battling it out with Cheryl in an exchange of punches and kicks it was inspiring to say the least. As everyone watched the fight my eyes fell on Romeo I did a double take as I watched him. He was leaning on the railing his arms crossed in front of him and his face buried in his arms. Even though only his eyes were visible I was astounded by what I saw. He was entranced his eyes glimmering as he watched Wendy they were slightly drooping as well. Romeo looked like he was trapped in a dream trace as he watched Wendy. Below his eyes was a small blush that laid on his cheeks it was a supple lush pink. This look I recognized it anywhere it was the look I had once given his mother.

Romeo P.O.V

Hearing Wendy had been attacked wasn't the best start to the Grand Magic Games but making it through the first round was pretty great. We didn't have the best start but we did start gaining ground and now it was time for Wendy's match. Seeing her give it her all was amazing and I was entranced her Sky Drill was the highlight. But when Cheryl revealed that she was Sky God Slayer I got nervous that wasn't the best match for Wendy. As the match continued I felt my whole body grow ridged seeing Wendy being beat down. I wanted to leap off the railing and down to the arena to beat that Cheryl. Especially after she asked Wendy to give up but seeing Wendy bolt up and flat out refuse to. I couldn't help but stare as the battle royal raged on neither side giving in. After a flurry of kicks and punches the thirty minute timer finally rang out and Wendy had tied with Cheryl. That didn't matter much to the rest of the guild everyone was too proud of Wendy to say anything bad. After we all finished exchanging hugs I looked down at Wendy who was smiling but suddenly fell to one knee. My heart stopped and I dashed forward and I zigzagged through the crowd of people. Till I reached the other side and I dashed into one of the hallways running till I saw the staircase that reached to the tunnels that lead out to the arena. I leaped down into the staircase and ran down the rest of the way till I reached the tunnel. Wendy was smiling along with the Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Lucy who were all congratulating her and patting her on the back. I ran forward and leaped into the circle grinning from ear to ear.

"Wendy you were amazing!" I exclaimed.

Wendy's face lit up but suddenly the color drained from her cheeks and she swayed forward. I felt my stomach drop and I rushed forward so that she was leaning over my shoulder.

"Wendy!" the other exclaimed.

She murmured weakly as she tried to stand up but I urged her to stop.

"You guys go the other matches are about to start I'll take her to Porlyusica." I assured them.

They nodded and told me to take care of her as they walked up the stairs and back out to the balcony. That left me and Wendy alone in the tunnel which I suddenly became painfully aware of. I could feel my heart start to thump, my back started sweating , and my knees got shaky.

What's going on?

Why do I feel so weird?

Am I sick?

I set that aside for now and adjusted myself so that I could turn Wendy around and place one of her arms over my shoulder.

"There we go." I said gently adjusting her weight.

She didn't weigh much honestly she was very dainty but as we walked toward the staircase she stopped me. She place one hand on the wall and she started standing up through gritted teeth she looked upset.

"You can stop I can get there by myself." She whispered her bangs covering her face.

I don't why but I started getting angry with Wendy why did she like so many others in our guild have to have so much pride. I couldn't stand it.

"You know you don't have to do everything on your own. I hate it when you, Natsu, Gray or Erza try to be the hero. Your strong no doubt about it so you don't have anything to prove to us least of all to me. If you give it your all and you happen to fall short that's why we are here to support each other. If not then what's the point of guild mates if you can't lean on them when you need help." I said softly.

She stopped for a minute and didn't answer causing me to panic because I might have just insulted her. But after a painful minute she smile and laughed before leaning against me.

"Alright." She said softly.

I could feel another blush creeping into my cheeks as she did this but I ignored it and helped her limp up the stairs. As we got into the infirmary I set her on the bed and let Porlyusica took over. She muttered to herself as she worked on Wendy mostly about Wendy pushing herself too much. Also that she shouldn't have used the Sky Drill move just yet but at the end she congratulated Wendy on a job well done. Wendy's face broke into a smile before her eyes closed and she fell asleep. I looked at her as she slept calmly strands of her vibrant blue hair sprayed around her face. Her lips were partly open and she was breathing softly as her eyes darted around under her eyelids I wondered what she was dreaming about. I could have stayed there and watched her but Carla came flying in most likely to give her another speech much along the lines of what Porlyusica had said. Since Wendy was fast asleep and given the fact that I didn't want to hear Carla's speech I left. I figured Wendy would want a full report on the rest of the matches when she woke up. Once the matches were over for the day Fairytail was in pretty good standings for the next round of the Grand Magic Games. I was pretty excited to tell Wendy all the exciting news but when I went to the infirmary she had been moved back to the inn. I looked for about an hour and couldn't find her and no one was much help since they were all in such a cheery mood. After asking around for bit Lucy finally pulled me off to the side.

"She is outside near the pond but be careful." She said as she pushed me toward the back entrance.

I was confused but I went outside regardless and behind the inn was a small garden. Trees were decorated with lights and bushes of roses were everywhere. After a bit of walking and getting lost a couple of times I made it through to a small pond where a dainty figure was hunched over. Wendy was sitting there hugging her knees close to her chest resting her chin on her knees with her bangs covering her eyes. Only her lips were visible as I sat beside her she looked really upset and it hurt seeing her look that way. I didn't know what to say or even how to begin to talk her I suddenly felt my throat swell up and my back started sweating. I gulped and took a breath before speaking in an attempt to at least say something.

"Hey..what are you doing out here everyone is having a really good time inside. Aren't you happy…" I began.

"Stop." She said cutting me off.

"H-Huh?" I stuttered starting to panic a bit.

"You don't need to pretend or pity me I know full well that Cheryl didn't go all out in that match. It wasn't a tie I lost." Wendy began and I could see her start to grit her teeth.

I admit the thought had crossed my mind but I hadn't given it much thought till right now.

"I wasn't any help in the prelims or in the match today I couldn't do anything just hold out till it at least counted as a tie. You guys have waited seven years for us to come back and help make things all right again. And so far all I've done is disappoint everyone I hate feeling so helpless so useless that someone has to come to my rescue. I trained hard and yet I can't even win one fight and this is what you guys have been waiting seven years…"she started raising her voice but I stopped her.

I grabbed Wendy and held her close muffling her face into my shoulder anything to stop the flow of words.

"Do you honestly think we care?" I growled.

"We don't care about the Games sure they are important but we could care less about them. All we care about is having you and the others back. We know you're strong Wendy there is no need to prove it to us. You aren't helpless or weak you have always given it your all and that's more than enough. You have saved us so many times with your healing magic so don't even think about calling yourself useless because you aren't not to me." I finished gripping her tightly.

After a moment Wendy tightened her grip on my shirt before letting go she pushed me back and stood up. She was smiling letting her hair sway in the wind and I could see the fire ignite in her eyes.

"Thanks Romeo. Your right I'm going to give it my all and I'll make sure that I help Fairytail in any way to win the Grand Magic Games." She said turning around walking toward the inn again.

As she walked away I smiled because I could see it Wendy was definitely all fired up and ready to give it her all in the Games. But I never did get the chance to see how Wendy would fair in the Games because soon after Lucy was kidnap and the war against the dragons began. I could remember being in the war zone fire was blazing through the city, people screaming, rubble and chunks of buildings everywhere. There was only one person I could think about during the fight and that was Wendy all I wanted to know was that she was safe. But soon my thoughts shifted when I got separated from my father in the war zone. I was running down an avenue when the steel dragon caught sight of me I could see the blood thirst in its eyes. I started running pumping my legs leaping over piles of rubble when I trip and chunks of wall fell on my leg. I tried yanking it out but it was jammed and I was pretty sure my ankle was now broken. The steel dragon got closer its mighty legs sending shockwaves across the ground as it got closer its lips curled into a smirk. It roared and began raising one of its mighty legs directly above my body I couldn't even close my eyes my whole body had be petrified.
