 * shrugs* I dunno, Lucy just said that Wendy and Chelia were pretty good friends. Their friendship might have developed quite a lot in the year she spent in Lamia Scale. They might have even fought and been through hardships in that year. It's just that very few interactions have been shown between them. What, they interacted a bit during the GMG, and now when Wendy is leaving. Just assume that their arguments and everything real (and boring :P) took place in the time-skip. There surely was no chance to show it during the few scenes in which their relationship has been shown. ^^

As for why she joined Lamia Scale ... well, she's friends with Chelia, though maybe not really best friends yet. Then there's her history with the Guild during the OS arc, where the other Guild she could join is Blue Pegasus, which is ... not Wendy. .-. Nobody directly stated that she joined Lamia Scale just because of Chelia.

Plus, Mashima does this quite frequently. For example, Natsu asked Lucy along for a mission just for the heck of it when he never likes to go with a team. Not saying that this excuses Mashima though.
