Okay so this story is number 2/13 of my pic story challenge, this one will obviously be about Bixlow and Lisanna, reading fanfiction is actually what got me to ship these too, I'll admit it doesn't take me long to ship something however once I start shipping people it is really hard to get me to ship them with anyone else. Unless they die or…I don't know that's been the only excuse so far. Anyway I hope you enjoy I will be honest I have no idea what I'm doing or what is going to happen so bear with me.

~I Do Not Own Fairy Tail~

It had been a month since the events in Edolas and everyone was still adjusting to Lisanna being alive! Especially her siblings, they never left her alone and honestly she needed the space. Re-adjusting to her life here was hard, Lucy for example who was totally different from the one she knew in Edolas, Erza was no longer trying to track them down, Natsu wasn't a wimp, Gray was stripping again, Juvia was fawning over Gray, Team Shadow Gear wasn't the strongest team and Gajeel…wasn't a reporter, he was a dragon slayer who had adopted Panterlily the former general of Edolas and was always hovering next to or around Levy.

She wondered if he even noticed, she most certainly didn't, her friends Jet and Droy however were very much aware and were glaring at Gajeel but also didn't dare do anything. Lisanna shock her head everything was so strange she even found out Laxus had been banished! That certainly wasn't the case in Edolas…no it was far worse. Lisanna stopped thinking about it and taking a thankful distraction from Natsu and Gray fighting, she slipped out of the guild to go for a walk.

"Hey" a voice called, Lisanna turned to it.

"Hey, Hey" several voiced echoed, Lisanna smiled it was Bixlow, not the Bixlow from Edolas she reminded herself but Earthland Bixlow.

"Hi" she said.

"Are you okay?" he asks.

"Why?"

"You don't seem…I don't know how to put it…all here"

"All here, All here" his dolls said.

"I'm fine just needed some air" says with smile she didn't feel.

"Don't do that" he says.

"Do want?"

"Fake it, don't bother I can tell" she really does smile then.

"I should have known, the other Bixlow always saw through me too"

"Did he know you weren't from there?"

"Yeah he knew immediately but never said anything to anyone because he knew what it would mean for all of us, he was a really good friend for me"

"Was?"

"Well obviously I can't see him anymore"

"No you meant something else" Bixlow says Lisanna swallows and prays she doesn't start crying she turns and starts walking away, however unexpectedly Bixlow stops her.

"Hey you can tell me, if anyone knows anything about sadness, grief and death it's me" Lisanna looked up to him he was right, she looked around and took his hand so they wouldn't be found, she stopped just out of town where no one would find them, and takes a shaky breath.

"Okay but you can't tell anyone!"

"I swear" he says.

"We swear, We swear" his dolls say Lisanna nodded.

"Okay well I was honest when I said we were friends, Edolas Bixlow and I since he knew about me, he was the one I went to when I just needed to relax, remember where I really came from, escape the lie I was living…about six months ago the Thunder Tribe Laxus, Evergreen, Freed and Bixlow went out to scout the area we'd landed in. Our guild could transport thanks to Levy but we never really knew where we would end up, so they were our scout party…we landed in a really bad place and they were all attacked and they defended us, they defended us for hours giving Levy enough time to fix the transporter, I screamed at them to get back to the guild so we could go…but" Lisanna couldn't stop her tears but forced herself to keep talking.

"They couldn't…they'd been fighting to long…magic isn't the same there they had devices to hold magic, not magic from themselves, they were completely out and…ruined but they got back up and kept fighting to protect us, there was no way they were going to reach us and if they did the things attacking them would have attacked us too and we wouldn't have been about to get away…we watched Laxus die first, Freed tried to get in the way but Laxus pushed him back protecting both him and Ever, Ever was killed right after him and…Freed…you…him, Bixlow turned to us and told us to go I wanted to race out and protect you! I have magic I didn't need items but he shook his head, knowing what I was thinking, Lucy pulled me in and shut the door as the creatures descended and yelled at Levy to hit it…and we were gone, and so where all of you" Lisanna fell down holding her face sobbing, Bixlow not knowing how to feel or react knelt down to her and held her, even his dolls had gone quiet silently hovering.

"I'm so sorry you had to go through that" he says hugging her feeling her sadness.

"I loved him!" she sobbed into his chest, freezing Bixlow's blood.

"I know that's nuts and I know he's gone but it's true, you have no idea how hard it was coming back and you were just standing there like everything in the world was totally fine, just like he would!"

"We probably would have gotten along then" Bixlow says Lisanna can't help but laugh a little still crying.

"Yeah I know everyone in Edolas was meant to be different to everyone here but I found some people were actually the same, the other me who died before I arrived was just like me, you and him are the same too" Lisanna pulled back looking into Bixlow's eyes though his mask.

"Don't tell them okay? It would hurt them to much"

"I understand, I won't" Lisanna nods standing and wiping her face.

"Jeez if I didn't know your magic was to control souls I would swear you used your magic to just make me spill my soul"

"My magic doesn't work that way" he says.

"I know" she says rolling her eyes with a light smile like she was trying to keep herself together.

"Lisanna I need to ask you something"

"Yeah?" she asks.

"What happened to your soul?"

Cliff-hanger yes I'm evil I know don't worry I'm going to start writing the next chapter right now.
