“Romeo, where are you off to?” Macao asked his son as the boy started heading out the guild’s front entrance. He looked pretty down, which surprised the blue haired elder. Had that flame he’d given Romeo not worked?
“I’m just gonna head home for a bit.” Romeo answered his father without turning to look at him. After being humiliated by Natsu in in front of the whole guild and possibly allowing him to escape his punishment, Romeo decided it may be wise to take some time away from the guild. As the spiky haired wizard made his way down the dirt path to Magnolia Town, he was oblivious to the pint-sized passenger that clung to his boot. Natsu was watching through sickly eyes as the world around him sped by as Romeo walked. The giant teenager was going at a normal pace, but Natsu felt like he was moving faster than ever before. The booming quakes that came with each footstep rang in Natsu’s ears and shook his very being. The shrunken Salamander felt the contents of his stomach toss around like a blender and his face turned a darker green.
“Ughhh, I’m gonna hurl!” Natsu exclaimed as he gripped onto the boot’s material harder and forced his face into the brownish footwear.

Sometime later, Romeo arrived inside his bedroom. The young fire mage stood in front of his door with is hands on his hips and sighed.
“I feel like shit.” Romeo said to himself as he scratched he back of his neck. He had made such a fool of himself in front of Natsu not once, but twice. The older mage probably thought he was nothing but a nuisance now. He just wanted to collapse on his bed and sleep. As Romeo made his way toward his bed, the mini-Natsu on his boot had reached his limit. He was just too weak to hang on anymore. When next the giant kid lifted his foot to take a step; Natsu’s tiny form slid off the brown boot and fell to the wooden floor below. It was a long drop and any normal person would have been a broken mess upon landing, but Natsu was thankfully much more durable and got away with only a few bruises. Moments after his body hit the floor, Romeo’s massive foot followed and slammed down nearby. The loud thoom so close to Natsu rendered the smaller male temporarily deaf and he covered his ears in pain. A few more thooms later and Romeo was on the other side of the room.
“Ow…well, that wasn’t so bad,” Natsu said to himself as he sat up and rubbed his throbbing head. Now that he was no longer on Romeo, he was starting to feel a lot better. “I only vomited five times!” The rosy haired male got to his feet and took a glance around Romeo’s room. It looked like the room of your average young boy, but many posters of Fairy Tail decorated the walls. There were even a few of him. When Natsu turned back to Romeo, he saw the younger boy standing by his bed. Despite only taking a few steps away from Natsu, the titan seemed to be miles away now!
“Hmmm…ya know, there’s nothing like some healthy exercise to beat depression!” Romeo exclaimed to himself, grinning and pumping his fists into the air. Natsu watched from the floor below as the giant boy began untying his orange scarf and light-colored sash. When both were folded on the ground nearby Romeo slipped off his long jacket; leaving him in just his brown boots and green pants. Natsu was still shocked to see how much Romeo had grown in his seven-year absence. No longer was he the scrawny kid he used to know; he was now very fit for his age. The training the boy put himself through to obtain his current physique must have been hard on him.
“What am I doing?!” Natsu asked himself as he slapped his cheeks. This was no time to be admiring Romeo’s progress; he had to get the boy’s attention and get back to normal! Plus, he still hadn’t forgiven the brat for putting him in this jam in the first place! As the angry, fully recovered, Dragon Slayer dashed toward the bare chested behemoth, Romeo began his exercising…
