Look at how the mysterious boy is dressed up. The dresses absolutely resemble Natsu's. That's why that boy has to know Natsu somehow. It would make sense, that it's Romeo, since Natsu and Romeo had a good friendship.

And I believe that the other fairies are on some kind of "training" for the big showdown. They are too weak to face new challanges. So I think what they need is a leap forward in their strength and might.
