Time stops, but the rain doesn't. It pours relentlessly as the group blinks, unable to comprehend what they're seeing in front of them. For Lucy, she can only imagine what Erza, Gray and, most importantly, Natsu, are feeling. She's a 'newcomer' after all, and despite all the adventures she's been on with the other three mages and the Guild as a whole…she still hasn't met everyone in Fairy Tail and this is made evident by the young woman kneeling before them in the rain, wrists tied together.
Natsu's eyes are wide with shock and he is the first to speak. " Lisanna…?" the name comes out as a question. It has been three years too long since he has last seen this girl. The Guild had believed her dead and thought only her memory to remain with them. It seems like they were wrong.
Part of him is suspicious at the sight of her. In the three years of her absence, surely, surely she could have made it back to Fairy Tail! And so that part of him is telling Natsu that this girl is an imposter, that she's not the Lisanna he knew back then, not the girl that he used to joke around with so many times. This is not Lisanna.
But then, another part of him, the part that hopes, the part that burns with optimism is saying that this is her. This is Lisanna- whom he's missed so much, whom he has always wished was alive once more. And it seems that his wish has come true, but he doesn't know what to believe anymore.
There is an internal battle wrestling inside the Dragon Slayer as his guild mates stare on. Gray and Erza have equal looks of disbelief on their face as it clicks in their mind that this is Mira's sister kneeling before them. Like Natsu, they too are debating how real this is, and if any of it is a trick. Lucy only tries to shift through the information she remembers about this girl, Lisanna. How she supposedly was dead- she can't register enough shock at seeing the girl alive. After all, she knows only of Lisanna by name, never as a person.
While the dumbstruck members of Fairy Tail stare on, the girl (they are still debating whether to call her Lisanna or not…the possibility of her being an imposter is high) repeats her earlier sentence. "I'm a member of Fairy Tail too!" And her eyes are hurt and indignant as she tries to stand, her heels finding it difficult to gain any solid hold on the muddy ground.
And through it all, the mage team of four wonder how the Guild will react to the coming home of a long-lost, and presumed dead member. They have lost Mistgun, but have gained Lisanna. Or so they hope that is the case. A mixture of feelings is raging between them and no one is quite sure how to react to this startling new appearance.
Only time will tell.

Just a quick drabble after reading the chapter and I finally got to write my NatsuxLisanna! Althought it's not really so. By the way…anyone notice that Lucy was on top of Gray earlier in the chapter?
Review please?
