Wendy started training the same day Romeo began his, since his father had only taught him the names of some of the weapons, he had no advantage over her and got the same lesions.

There was one thing that Wendy was absolutely behind on however, the 'arts of the pen' as Lucy called it. Natsu and the others simply called reading and writing. Wendy had never learned how, where as Romeo had bin taught by none other than the Mistress of Contraband herself, Levi Mcgarden who had taught him with forbidden texts.

Unfortunately she was busy in her own campaign against the burners, the cops that burned illegal books as well as those that had owned them, so Wendy had to be taught by Lucy. She was a good teacher Wendy thought, but not a very accessible one. She was always running around yelling at Natsu for something or other, or trying to get work for herself and Natsu. So, more often than any of them liked to admit, Romeo taught her how, in fact Wendy would later say that Romeo was the only reason she could read at all.

Aside from reading, she was taught alternately by Grey, Natsu, or Juvia. Of the three she liked Natsu's lesions best, because he taught hand to hand, as well as the basics of magic.

On the other hand she hated Grey's lesions most. He may have bin Romeos 2nd favorite, behind Natsu of course. Wendy thought it was more because of the the fact that Grey taught them how to use knifes. It reminded her to much the gangs.

Juvia was the resident poisoner, but she was occasionally hard to understand. Mostly when Grey was near by, witch was often.

But they're lesions where necessary, and often fun. But they where always hard, and they never went long without the threat of death.

It was two months before the first mild poison was slipped into they're drinks at breakfast.

At first Romeo thought he was just getting a cold but about half an hour he began to feel a lot worse.

"What's wrong Romeo?" Wendy asked.

"Stomach flu I think." Replied the boy. "What about you?"

"Why would you ask me?"

"Your paler than usual. You feelin ok?"

"A little light headed that's all." Suddenly Wendy's face went green, and she ran towards the water way at the back of the cave. Not long after Romeo followed her.

They where at the edge, they're lunch making a reappearance, when Natsu found them.

"What are ya guys doin?" He asked dumbly.

"Admiring the water, what's it look like?" Wendy responded sarcastically.

Natsu looked at them, and his face grew slightly irritated.

"Dammit Juvia, they aren't ready for this shit yet!" He yelled over to the bluenet who was siting near by.

"I feel that they are, besides it's only the motion drug. Most prank stores sell it, watered down a bit, but they do." Her voice calm. "Also bolth of them are powerful mages, so best strengthen they're stomachs a bit so they don't have the problems the two of you did."

"Your using that one?!" He shouted "Are you out of your god damn mind?!"

"A different dosage, but yes. It won't hurt them, just like it didn't hurt you."

"I beg to differ." Natsu growled as he walked away. "Just wait till I say with the harder shit, alright?"

"Fine."

"Harder shit?" Wendy asked between heves.

"He means the things we need an immunity for. Things we need to drink I think."

"Joy."
