(Romeo stared at Chelia as if she plucked out his heart, dribbled it, threw it to the ground and stumped down on it. Oh wait...)

Chelia (looking at the ground): I d-don't think we're right for each other.

Romeo (tears threatening to spill out of his eyes): B-but why?!

Chelia (sighing, still clutching her chest): The spark, I don't feel it anymore. I don't feel the spark in our bond anymore.

Romeo (speechless, almost on the brink of crying): I-it's our anni...

Chelia (turning away from him, walking off): I'm sorry, Romeo.

Narrator: And that's how I lost the girl that I loved the most. Weeks after that, I still couldn't move on. Everything reminded me of her ....and that scared me to death.

Natsu (waving his hands in front of his face): Hey! Yo, Romeo!

Romeo (blinking): What?

Narrator: The guy with me is Natsu Dragneel, my best friend. We've known each other since we were kids. I looked up to this daredevil-of-a-guy but right now, he was annoying me.

Natsu (in a teasing manner): You spaced out bro, again.

Romeo (sighing): So?

Natsu: So, why?

Romeo (takes a deep breath): Che-

Natsu (cutts him off): Chelia? Again?

Romeo (nodding, mumbling): Why would you ask if you already knew?

Natsu: Tssk. You got it bad for her.

Romeo (grunting): Looks like it.

Natsu (nodding): Yup. You definitely do.

Romeo: Aren't you gonna say, "Move on already!" or "The chick dumped you. Get over it!"?

Natsu (sighs): I already did. Weeks ago. It's getting old.

Romeo (rolls his eyes)

Natsu (sighs): I'm your best friend and I'm supposed to help you.

Romeo(smirks): That's a first.

Natsu (finger on his mouth): This only happens once. Enjoy it.

Romeo (raised an eyebrow): Okay. What are you thinking?

Natsu (hand on his chin): I think you need a new girl.

Romeo: A what?

Natsu (flashes a mischievous grin): A rebound.
