Lisanna Strauss stepped closer to the young man she met, the one with the salmon hair and deep black orbs. She couldn't help but feel like she knew him from somewhere, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She had only met him, yet she had felt as if she knew him her whole life, though clearly she didn't/.
"Lisanna…" The man smiled softly. "Would you come over here… I can't quite believe it's you."
Lisanna looked a bit confused. "How do you… know my name? I've only just met you, sir. I don't know who you are…"
"Please," The man pleaded. "It's been two years – it's been far too long without you here. Please just…"
"Really… just who am I?" Lisanna reached her hand out to him, about to touch his face…
… and woke up from her dream, rubbing her eyes tiredly.
It was that same dream again. The dream that had been haunting her night after night ever since her seventeenth birthday – ever since then, the same young man had been in her dreams, a different scene every time. She didn't get it, why was she having these dreams? What did they mean? Was someone reaching out to her?
"That dream again…" She said tiredly, yawning. "It felt so real…"
"What did?" Mirajane, Lisanna's older sister asked.
"Oh…" She hadn't realized she said it out loud. She hadn't mentioned any of her dreams to her sister. "Hey, Mira-nee, do you remember… meeting a boy last night?"
"A boy?"
"Yeah, he had salmon hair and black eyes. We've been meeting him every night, haven't we?" She asked uncertainly.
"No… we haven't ever met a boy like that."
"Oh." She said. "Well then forget it, it was a joke!"
"Er… OK?" The older sibling said. "I'll be downstairs if you need me."
Mirajane left the room.
Lisanna frowned, if she hadn't actually met this boy, then what was happening to her? Every time she had those dreams, she had known this boy forever, all those memories were there, yet when she woke up she didn't know who he was.
All she knew was that he knew her, from a long time ago. In her dreams he had always said that she had been gone for far too long. That she had disappeared. That because of the what he called 'incident' they all thought she was never coming back. But of course she didn't know what the incident was, or who 'they' were, or what had happened.
She really wanted to tell him that she honestly didn't know who he was, but when she saw that warm, caring smile of his, a smile that felt as if he didn't smiled the whole time he thought she was gone, she couldn't be so heartless as to break his happiness.
She stood up and left her house, walking to school. Then she passed somewhere familiar. Ah… she thought. This is where we were in my dream.
Lisanna stopped for a minute, remembering the moment.
Then she saw it.
She could swear that she saw it. She saw him. The boy from her dreams. The one with the goofy grin and the kind words. The one who had haunted her in her dreams. The one who had the weird salmon hair. Who she never learned the name of, could it really be him? Was he really, truly real? Or was she just imagining things, mistaking them?
She ran toward him, wanting to know if he was real or not. She honestly had to know, she couldn't stand how she didn't know the truth about who he was and if he was just someone from her dreams. But maybe that was a mistake.
Because she disappeared.
Natsu Dragneel sighed once more, looking at his deceased girlfriend's grave. He had come there every week, in false hope that she would come back, that she would just magically relive. It wasn't entirely impossible – he lived in a world of magic after all. Resurrection wasn't completely out of the question.
And you know what, it didn't seem like such a crazy idea two years ago.
After her death, he had moaned and sulked and cried. He didn't realize how much she had meant to him. As the saying goes – you never know what you have until you've lost it. He got better though, eventually. But he wasn't the same, they said.
He wasn't so smiley and energetic and friendly anymore. They said after her death he distanced himself from people, and he became quiet and softer and his smiles looked so fragile that they could break like glass. Even Gray was worried about him, and he was that stupid popsicle!
They didn't talk about her anymore, at least not in front of Natsu. They were afraid for him, that he couldn't take it still. Even though it had been two years.
Even though it had been two years, he still couldn't get used to the fact that she was gone; that she was never going to come back.
He heard a loud thud! over on his right side. He tilted his head a little, and saw a familiar white hair where the sound came from.
"Is that Mira…?" He thought aloud. "But she always goes to the other grave. There's no way that's Elfman, too feminine. It couldn't possibly be… Lisanna. She's… dead."
He stood up and walked over to where the woman fell. The thud didn't seem as if she had fallen down. It seemed like she had fallen from the sky, but of course that was impossible.
"Ow… that hurt!" A familiar feminine voice said. Natsu's eyes widened, it was her voice. Lisanna's voice. There was no way… no explanation.
He walked over quicker and saw the back of a girl with short white hair. She really did look a lot like Lisanna. She looked like a young petite girl, but she was wearing a very strange outfit. It was a very long shirt and a short skirt. He had never seen clothes like that before.
The girl turned around, and Natsu suddenly had a big lump in his throat. She looked exactly like Lisanna. The same face, the same blue eyes, the same hair… but it was impossible.
The girl looked shocked. "Uh… hello?"
"Lisanna?"
