Just Add Water

Chapter 10

It was after dinner when Wendy decided to talk to Erza.

"So what was it you wanted to talk to me about?" Erza asked.

"Is everything okay?"

"Everything's fine. Why do you ask?"

"Because you've been acting very different lately and it's making me worried."

"You don't need to be worried Wendy."

"Are you sure? Because if you're in some kind of trouble, you know you can tell me right?"

"Wendy you forget that I'm the big sister and you're the little sister. That means it's my job to worry about you not the other way around."

"But Erza-"

"Relax Wendy. You just focus on doing well in school and everything will be fine."

But Wendy wasn't convinced. Erza had never kept secrets from her before and it made her a little scared. She didn't like the idea of reading someone else's diary but she wanted to make absolutely sure that Erza wasn't in some kind of trouble. So the next day she called up Chelia and agreed to meet with her at the foster home.

"I don't like this Chelia." Romeo said.

"Just keep quiet and watch out for Juvia or Gray." She said.

The doorbell rang.

"That's probably Wendy."

She went to the door with Romeo falling.

"I don't want to be apart of this anymore Chelia, find yourself another watchdog."

She opened the door and Wendy walked in.

"Hello Wendy." Chelia greeted. "The diary is right upstairs."

"Okay but I'm only doing this to make sure that nothing bad is happening to Erza." Wendy said.

"That's the translator?" Romeo asked watching Wendy go upstairs.

"Yes. That's Wendy. She takes calligraphy so she should be able to read cursive and she happens to be the sister of that Erza chick, Juvia is friends with."

"Hubba, hubba, where has she been all my life?"

"Close your mouth Romeo before you catch flies." Chelia said rolling her eyes and pulling him upstairs. Wendy silently read the diary and she felt very guilty about doing this.

"She sure has a lot written down." Wendy said.

"Isn't anything embarrassing?" Chelia asked.

"No and if there was I wouldn't tell you. We're not doing this to humiliate Juvia, you know?"

"Oh right! I know that...I just want to find out what's bothering her that's all, right Romeo?"

Romeo didn't answer. He was too busy staring at Wendy with a lovestruck grin.

"You know you have really shiny hair." He said to Wendy.

"Um...Thank you. It's all in the shampoo." She said feeling a little weirded out.

She continued to read the diary, finding nothing peculiar until she reached a section in the diary that made her feel very concerned and confused.

"Well this can't be right." Wendy said.

"What? What is it?" Chelia said.

"Maybe I'm reading this wrong."

"What? What does it say?"
