Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. If I did, People would literally have to pull Levy and Gajeel away from each other. They'd also have to separate Lisanna and Bixlow, Freed and Mirajane, and Evergreen and Elfman. Also, Pantherlily would TOTALLY be Shagotte's baby-daddy. Just saying. I so think that Pantherlily is or at least should be Charle's da-da. Lol, moving on...

Pairings: Freed/Mirajane, Elfman/Evergreen, and Bixlow/Lisanna. Though, I think that this is going to be mainly about Bixlow and Lisanna.

Description: Freed and Mirajane just got married and Elfman and Evergreen just got engaged...so where does that leave Bixlow and Lisanna? To complete the circle or not to complete the circle, that is the question...Takes place after the Grand Magic Games and Fairy Tail is once again top guild. Mirajane, ever the matchmaker, sets Bixlow and Lisanna up for a mission in Fiore's 'city of love' where they (Bixlow and Lisanna, just in case that was an ambiguous pronoun) have to track down a mysterious kidnapper who keeps taking away men's girls.

Rating: T for violence, blotted out language, possible hints of sexual activities, the usual. No lemons, but it may be implied; I dunno yet.

Chapter 1: A Wedding and a Mission

Lisanna sighed happily as she watched Mirajane and Freed dance at the reception. Nee-chan looked so beautiful in her gown, it almost made Lisanna want to cry with joy. But she smiled as she watched all the other couples dance with each other.

Gray swirled Juvia around, while Natsu and Lucy were bickering playfully, and Gajeel and Levy were flirting as Gajeel lifted the smaller bluenette and did a little spinning toss before catching her again. Who knew that Gajeel had some dance moves? Wierd...but cute in an odd little way, I guess...

Lisanna turned her attention on the many Exceeds that filled the room. Pantherlily and Shagotte were dancing while Charle and Happy were as well. All the Exceed children had been found, so Lisanna guessed that Pantherlily and Shagotte had let the cat out of the bag about the fact that they were Charle's parents. Yes, pun intended. Wow, I must really be bored if I'm mentally talking to myself as if I'm another person...wait, is that right? Oh forget it, I'll just confuse myself...

Lisanna was happy for her sister, she really was. Honestly. But being stuck in some dark corner without a date to dance with didn't exactly have its perks, just sayin'. Lisanna would go find Elfman and make him dance with her, but both he and Evergreen were missing. Seeing as the two had just been engaged, Lisanna didn't really want to go looking for them. Quite frankly, she'd like to maintain her innocent eyes for a little while longer.

"D***, you look really, really bored..." Lisanna didn't even bother to be surprised, looking up at Bixlow and shrugging.

"So do you."

Grunting, Bixlow plopped down beside her, lounging against the table and bench in a very Bixlow-like way. "So we're the odd ones out, huh? Strauss siblings and Thunder body guards," Bixlow muttered, more to himself than to Lisanna or anybody else.

"Siblings, Guards!"

"Weddings weddings!"

"Bells bells!" Bixlow's 'babies' chimed, happily zooming around his and Lisanna's heads.

"Well, there's really nothing else to do at a reception, so you wanna' dance?" Lisanna asked, glancing at Bixlow. She did not have a crush on Bixlow. Not not not...okay, so maybe she had a little crush on Bixlow, but that was probably because Natsu had moved on...to bigger boobs. Oh well, at least they were happy; that's all that really mattered.

"Shouldn't the guy ask the girl to dance?"

"Well you didn't ask, so I did. It's okay if you don't want to, but it would relieve some of the boredom.

"Ehn, true." Bixlow shrugged, getting up and taking her hand, pulling her to her feet. it wasn't gentle, but it wasn't rough; it was just Bixlow.

And truth be told, Bixlow was a surprisingly good dancer, considering he was so tall and lanky. Once more, Lisanna sighed inwardly. Now I like him even more, d*****...Oh well. She decided to enjoy the moment, even though she was using every fiber in her body to hide her blush. Besides, she couldn't just sulk in a dark corner during her own sister's wedding!

"You're not half bad for a half-pint," Bixlow smirked, letting his tongue hang hout for a second or two.

"Neither are you for a lanky dog."

"Oi, isn't that a bit rude?"

"Rudy pants! Rudy pants!"

"Hehe rudy rudy rudy pants!"

Lisanna couldn't help but giggle at the little 'babies' anticts. They were cute in a strange, stalkerish kind of way, after all. "Well, maybe I wouldn't say things like that if you didn't have your tongue lolling out like a dog does."

"Look..." He paused, shrugging. "Touche`..." He muttered. Lisanna giggled slightly harder.

"Alright, giggle box_"

"CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAKE!" A certain Titania by the name of Erza Scarlet roared as the strawberry cheesecake wedding cake was brought out. Apparently, Mirajane and Erza shared a favorite. Bixlow pulled Lisanna against him and out of the way as Erza came barreling through, screaming for cake all the way.

"I thought people only screamed for ice cream," Bixlow muttered, causing Lisanna to laugh.

"Well, I'm certainly not bored anymore...Erza sure loves strawberry cheese cake..." Levy remarked with a smile as she pulled away from Bixlow slightly.

"Cake not bored!"

"Cake not bored!"

"Cake not bored!"

"That's weird, they usually only parrot me..." Bixlow muttered, looking up.

"Wierd parrot!"

"Wierd parrot!"

"Wierd parrot!"

"Well, guess you can't hog 'em all the time." Lisanna shrugged playfully and Bixlow ruffled her hair.

"Who says I can't."

"Apparently they did, considering they copied me."

"Only once!"

"They still did."

"Still did!"

"Still did!"

"Still did!"

"Traitors," Bixlow muttered playfully.

"Traitors!"

"Traitors!"

"Traitors!"

"Ah, come on, let's get some cake before Titania hogs it all," Bixlow muttered.

"Titania cake hogger!"

"Titania cake hogger!"

"Titania cake hogger!"

o0o

A few days later, Mirajane stood at her bar, watching Bixlow and Lisanna, an idea forming in her head. Freed followed her gaze, arching an eyebrow. "Dearest, are you getting one of your many schemes again?" He glances at Bixlow. "I see. He and Lisanna have been hanging out for a while now."

"Mmmmmhmmmm!"

"I do think they'd make a good couple. Lisanna has caught on to Papa's Peppe's, Pippi's, Poppo's, and Puppu's names very quickly."

"Mmmm, then again, all you have to do is go by the vowels; the 3 P's are a given."

"True, but she caught onto that the fastest," Freed pointed out. Mirajane chuckled, nodding.

"But yes, I plan to get them together."

"Even though she's 5 years younger than him?"

"Yep. Age is just a number; I mean, look at Gajeel and Levy."

"Gajeel is your age, isn't he?"

"I don't think so; I'd say he's around Bixlow's or Laxus's age..."

Freed shrugged, thinking for a moment. "And Evergreen is 2 years older than Elfman, now that I think of it..."

"Exactly!" Mirajane grinned cheerfully.

"So how do you plan on going about getting them together?"

Mirajane pulled out a mission notice for 500,000 jewels. "They're going to Paristole to track down a kidnapper."

"The city of love, eh? Remember when I proposed to you beneath the Feirel Tower?"

"I'll never forget it," Mirajane smiled, giving her husband a peck on the lips. Freed returned the smile.

"A MAN GIVES HIS WIFE A REAL KISS! BE A MAN FOR MY SISTER, JUSTINE!" Elfman called from across the guild, shaking a fist at Freed, who smirked and pulled Mirajane against him, giving her a deeper, more passionate kiss. "YEAH, 'BOUT D**** TIME YA' GREW A PAIR LIKE A MAN!"

Bisca pulled out her gun, shooting it several times on either side of Elfman's face, each time missing him by a fraction. "Do not use that language in the presence of my daughter. Next time I won't miss." Bisca hissed, shooting him a glare, blowing the smoke from the barrel before sticking her gun back in its holster. Elfman promptly shut his trap, leaving the majority of he guild in an uproar of laughter.

Mirajane shook her head, chuckling. "Poor nii-chan. Always getting himself in trouble."

"Well, we are Fairy Tail, after all," Freed remarked, glancing at the mission notice once again. "Bixlow won't likely turn down 500,000 jewels."

"And Lisanna has always wanted to go to Paristole. Quite frankly, I don't think either of them could refuse!"

"Do you think they'd want to go together though?"

"Well, they'd have to disguise themselves as a couple. And there are barely any single ladies left in Fairy Tail over the age of 15."

"True, true." Freed nodded.

"Great!" Mirajane snatched the mission notice, practically skipping over to Bixlow and Lisanna, who were playing a game of cards.

"Go fish!" Lisanna called gleefully.

"Aren't you a little old for this anyway," Bixlow muttered, looking up as Mirajane made her way over to them.

"Too old, too old, too old!"

"You're never too old for Go Fish! What's up, Nee-san?"

"I found a mission for you two."

"Both of us?" Bixlow turned to look at Mirajane and she figured that he was arching an eyebrow at her.

"Yes. Both of you. Together." She handed them the mission, beaming. "Have fun!" She cheerfully almost-skips off.

"Dude...you have really weird siblings..." Bixlow muttered and Lisanna sweatdropped. She really couldn't argue with that...

(A/N: Okay, I know I haven't finished Racing for their Nakama, but I just couldn't not post this! Don't worry, I'll continue that one; I want to know what happens too lol. I'm just taking a slight breather for now with this little inspiration pixie haha. Anyway, enjoy. C3)
