Romeo Pov

I sat alone in the guild, to focused on my thought to pay attention to what was happening around me. It wasn't like I didn't know, Natsu and Gray were fighting, Erza was eating cake, Lucy and Levy were talking about Lucy's book and Gajeel was yelling at me to stay away from Wendy -which didn't make sense since she has a boyfriend but i wasn't going to be the one to remind him of that.-

I finally got up and went to check the request board when Mirajane stepped in "Hey Romeo, someone sent you a letter" she handed me a piece of paper which I took and read

" Dear Mr. . I have been looking to get an apprentice and i feel like your rainbow fire magic would be perfect for the job. if you would like, please meet me at the sakura blossoms in hargeon tomorrow night. - sincerely S p.s don't bring anything or anyone"

Confused I quickly tucked the letter into the back of my pants which was a mistake cause seconds later it exploded into a cloud of darkness. This caused everyone to look at me and i could have sworn someone was laugh from the empty corner behind me.

I proceed to leave the guild in a hurry, not because I was excited to start training with "S" but because the explosion had destroyed my pants so i was hurrying to get new ones. When I got home I started to pack a month's worth of clothes before crawling into my bed and falling asleep.

The next day I headed to the guild to tell my Dad about the letter and how I was going to be gone for a month or so. "I'm gonna miss you son" He replied while his gaze was fixed on Mirajane who had just had a tray of drinks spilled on herself. As I turned to leave I was stopped by the sight of wendy and her boyfriend Eve Tearm entering the guild. They'd been dating for a 3 years now and yet it's still bothering me.

Today seem off, today wendy seem extra happy. That's when I realized the ring on her finger, Eve wasn't her boyfriend any more, he was her fiance. As the guild celebrated i ran toward the train station my whole world destroyed. I bought a ticket and got on the next train to hargeon.

I took a seat and thought about what my life was going to be like without wendy. This only made me angry so without thinking i punched the nearby window causing it to shatter around my fist. I had to pay to get it repair but none of that mattered now. All that mattered was my training.

Guild's Pov

"I can't believe our little wendy is getting married" Lucy yelled throwing her around around Wendy

"I'm so excited" Mira exclaimed as Natsu and Gray patted Eve on the back

"Gajeel come celebrate" Levy called but Gajeel didn't hear her he was too busy looking at the ripped up piece of paper that he had picked up off the floor.

"Sincerely S" was all that was there but something told him that the Romeo they once knew was not the Romeo that was coming back after his training. He tucked the scrap of paper into his pocket and went to sit down. Finally realizing what the guild was celebrating about. "Drinks on me" he roared but his mind was elsewhere.

As the celebration went on wendy couldn't help but wonder where Romeo was. He should be celebrating with her like a best friend should, However he was nowhere to be found. She had called and told Chelia the news earlier and the rest of blue pegasus had showed up to celebrate with fairy tail.

After the celebration Wendy went over to Macao to see where her friend was. "Romeo left for hargeon earlier today" he replied "but I know he's happy for you."

"Why did he have to leave today" she thought but eve soon came over and pulled her into his embrace causing the thought to leave her head.

"Why don't we go move some of my stuff into your place" Eve asked with that blue pegasus smile he always had. Wendy agreed and waved goodbye to the guild members who were still conscious -the girls- and left with eve

Gajeel had left earlier to figure out who "S" was. After looking through countless folders that levy had kept after they quit the council he was only able to find one person "The Shadow". If "S" was "The Shadow" then he was right to worry. He didn't know where they were but he knew that romeo would be in a lot of danger if he didn't find out soon.

When levy entered the apartment he quickly hid the folder and the scrap of paper, not wanting to worry her. As him and Levy got into bed he couldn't help but wonder. "Why would romeo even meet with someone he didn't know."
