This chapter has been updated! Enjoy :)
Lisanna Strauss was on her way home from her most recent mission. Over the last five years Lisanna's physical appearance hadn't changed much. She wore a crimson long-sleeved shirt that hung off of her shoulders, and her white jeans went all the way down to her ankles. Her snow white locks now hung down to her shoulders, and she had grown an inch or two, but that was it. Her growing stopped, but she was fine with her ending height.
As the take over mage continued her route to Fairy Tail, she heard sobs coming from nearby. Lisanna looked around herself, but she didn't see anyone around her that seemed to be in a sad state. Everyone around her was happy and full of joy. Lisanna rounded the corner, following the sound of the cries and soon found herself at the park.
There was a teenage girl sitting on one of the park's many benches. The scenery was beautiful what with all of the trees' flowers blooming and the animals making nests all around in the trees and in the ground, but the girl was crying, making everything seem sad along with her.
She had jaw length hair that's color seemed to be a mixture of black and blue, falling near the white ribbon tied around her neck. The girl wore a violet lolita type dress that had white trimming on the straps that sat on her upper arms, across her chest, along her waistline, and at the bottom of the dress. The dress poofed out just the slightest after the waistline, suggesting that there probably was a few layers of frills underneath the outside fabric. The girl's feet were adorned with a pair of simple black flats with a bow right on top of her toes.
"Excuse me," Lisanna started off, trying to gain the girl's attention. The girl snapped her head right up as soon as she heard Lisanna's voice. The beautifully light shade of blue in the girl's eyes just astonished Lisanna. "Are you okay?"
"Y-yes," the girl responded, her voice small in her throat.
"Why are you crying?" Lisanna asked her, taking a seat beside of the young girl at the bench she was seated on.
"I-I'm trying to find my p-parents. I had some of my friends with me, but we got split up, and I can't find them," the teen told Lisanna.
"Do you live here in Magnolia? Maybe I know your parents," Lisanna suggested.
There was a short silence of about thirty seconds before the young female spoke again. "Well, I'm a mage, and I live here in Magnolia with my parents," the girl paused for a few seconds, and before Lisanna could respond, the girl continued what she had been saying, "but I forgot to tell you two things..." However, the female teenager seemed to wonder when she should tell Lisanna the unknown information.
"What would those two things be?" Lisanna questioned, wondering what she had forgotten to tell her.
The girl paused for a second before she decided to tell Lisanna what she hadn't earlier. "First off, I'm a mage of Fairy Tail," the teen paused to point to the left side of her neck where an amethyst Fairy Tail symbol sat, cut in half by the ribbon that was around her neck. Lisanna was surprised. "Second, I'm from the future. Eighteen years in the future to be exact."
"Wow..." Lisanna mumbled as she turned to look forward and slumped down some on the bench. It was hard to process. This girl was a future Fairy Tail mage. Maybe a future couple in the guild made up her parents. Lisanna smirked at the thought and sat back up. Her sister would be proud of her if she were to help her with her matchmaking.
"I could take you to the guild, and maybe you could find the people that are going to be your parents. What are their names?" Lisanna asked.
"It's a secret," the girl responded, a giddy smirk on her face. It reminded Lisanna of her older sister, Mirajane. Maybe this girl's future mom was Mira. Then, who would the father be? This girl's dad, if Mira was her mom, would have to have the same shade of hair as the girl if the color had come from her father. "But," the girl started off, grabbing Lisanna's attention again. "I can tell you that my name is Taylor, and your sister, Mirajane, is my aunt."
Lisanna was shocked. This girl knew who she was without having to introducing herself. Now that she knew Mira was her aunt, her parents were narrowed down quite a bit.
"Can we go to the guild now, please? I wanna find my momma and daddy," Taylor asked politely. This girl really intrigued Lisanna.
The walk they took to the guild was spent in silence. It seemed as if both were in deep thought. Lisanna had already started to take a liking to this girl. She seemed to be a lot like her, but there also was something about this girl that reminded her of someone that made her cheeks turn red.
That man frustrated her to no end, but after she got to know him, she started to fall for him and fall hard. His helmet covered his face most of the time, but that just added a more mysterious atmosphere to him. His 'babies' always floated around him, echoing whatever he had just said. Lisanna just adored them, and she even knew them all by name. The man always seemed like a bad boy, an outcast, but he just preferred to be alone except when he was with the rest of the Raijinshuu Tribe. His habit of sticking out his tongue also always seemed to intrigue her. He would just stick it out of his mouth whenever he felt like it. She always wondered where he had picked up the habit.
As they approached the guild, Lisanna was broken out of her thoughts. Taylor had grabbed her shirt sleeve and yanked on it just the slightest. It was just enough to get her attention. Lisanna turned her gaze towards the young girl, and Taylor pointed ahead of herself at the guild. Lisanna nodded in understanding.
Lisanna walked into the guild first, Taylor close behind her. All eyes turned towards them. Everyone seemed to be curious about the girl that Lisanna had with her. Taylor grabbed Lisanna's hand with her one of her own, and Lisanna squeezed her hand comfortingly, trying to calm the girl's apparent nervousness.
"Who's this little cutie?" a familiar voice asked the two. Lisanna turned to face Bixlow and his 'babies'. His appearance had only slightly altered over the years. He wore the same gear as always, but his hair had grown out some. It was long enough to put back into a tiny ponytail, only a nub of hair, and it stuck out from the back of his helmet. However, he wasn't currently wearing his helmet.
"DADDY!" Taylor exclaimed, running towards Bixlow and hugging him. Bixlow was shocked as the young girl rammed into him. His face changed from tan to pale white to red.
"He's your future dad?! I feel bad for you, Taylor," Lisanna commented, placing her hands on her hips and tilting her hips just the slightest to the left. Bixlow looked up from Taylor to look at Lisanna. She seemed in on something that he obviously wasn't.
"What do you mean future dad? I'm pretty sure that I don't have any kids," Bixlow questioned, completely confused why this girl that was hugging him was calling him her dad.
"Taylor is from the future. She's apparently supposed to find her parents. That's all she's told me," Lisanna informed Bixlow. By now, the whole guild was focused on the trio. People from the future? I thought we already had enough communication with people from the future... was what everyone seemed to be thinking.
"That's gotta be a bunch of bull shit. There's no way that people could come back from the future again. It was a one-way only trip through the Eclipse Gate with no way or place to return. How would they get here?" Bixlow asked, obviously not convinced.
Taylor decided to speak up. "In my time, the Eclipse Gate has been perfected, so we can use it without having bad repercussions. We will be pulled back to our own time in around a day or two."
"How do we know that you're not lying, Future Girl?" Bixlow asked.
"Because I found two more of the future kids that came with her," a voice called out in the crowd. Bixlow, Lisanna, and Taylor turned to see Bisca standing from a table where Asuka, Alzack, and two twin boys were seated.
"James! Nathan!" Taylor exclaimed, letting go of her father's waist to run towards her friends. Taylor embraced one of the twins quickly and proceeded to hug the other, longer and seemingly happier. "How did you guys find your mom?"
"Wait, you two have more kids?" Lisanna asked, approaching Alzack and Bisca's table.
"It would seem so. They say that they're born in two years," Alzack responded, having been filled in on the situation by his two sons and wife.
"See! I'm not lying, daddy," Taylor called out to her father, her tongue sticking out, mimicking the way he always did so but with a normal sized tongue.
"You can't deny it now!" Wakaba called from the crowd.
"Yeah, yeah. Shut it, old man," Bixlow growled at the smoke mage.
Snickers and giggles could be heard around the guild at the seith mage's comment. There was no use denying that Taylor was his daughter. The only thing left to find out was who her mother was. This seemed to go through Bixlow's brain at that exact moment. Who do I hook up with? Who's my lady? he thought to himself.
"Hey, Taylor. Who's your mom?" he asked the young female.
"I thought it would've been obvious. I've conveniently avoided calling her momma, addressing her by her name, or telling her upfront." Taylor commented, a somewhat confused expression on her face.
Lisanna gasped quite loudly, and everyone's eyes turned to her. She thought back to when they had been in the park. It's a secret, Taylor had said when she asked her who her parents were. ...your sister, Mirajane, is my aunt. She had said that Mira was her aunt. Also, when they had come to the guild, Taylor had pulled her sleeve instead of addressing her to get her attention.
"You know something we don't?" Bixlow asked Lisanna, wanting to not be kept in the dark.
"It can't be... It's impossible..." Lisanna mumbled to herself, her face slowly turning red.
"What is?" Bixlow questioned. What's got her so worked up? I'm the one who just found out about a future kid of theirs who didn't already have a kid, he thought to himself.
"Momma," Taylor called out, but calmer this time, as she leaned over and hugged Lisanna.
Lisanna's face proceeded to go completely red as her 'daughter' hugged her around the waist. Her crush was her future husband? Lisanna and Bixlow couldn't bear to look at each other. Lisanna already had an attraction to Bixlow, but he had one as well that no one, not even anyone in the Raijinshuu, knew about. She was a sweet girl that seemed to bring out the best in him. Her laugh was a beautiful sound that just made his mouth curve into a smile all on its own. He just loved the sound. Her smile was one of the brightest things he had ever seen. Her innocence made him feel just the slightest bit better. Just a little bit more pure.
Taylor's grip on her mother seemed pretty strong since while her parents were partially dazed, she pushed her mother gently forward into the arms of her father. Taylor then promtly let go of her mother.
Both Lisanna and Bixlow seemed to come back to their senses once their bodies touched. Bixlow got a good hold on Lisanna's waist, so that she wouldn't fall but wasn't tight enough to hurt her. Lisanna pulled up her arms and wrapped them around Bixlow's neck, so she could gain some balance. This only resulted in their faces becoming fairly close in proximity. Lisanna's face once again became a dark shade of red. She wanted to lean in and close the space between them so badly, but she didn't want to get rejected by Bixlow.
However, Bixlow dove right in without waiting for consent from Lisanna. He placed his lips on top of hers, just wanting to go out with a bang if it ended up with her not being interested in him. To say he was surprised when she kissed him back was an understatement. They seemed to forget that they were surrounded by many of their fellow guild members at the moment.
Everyone else in the guild began to clap and cheer for the new couple. The two broke apart, and Lisanna smiled at her nakama with a flushed face while Bixlow turned his face away, trying to seem nonchalant about what just happened.
Taylor approached her parents cautiously, hoping they would not be upset with her. Bixlow squatted down to ruffle his daughter's hair and picked her up to put her on his shoulder. She smiled the biggest smile she could, and tears came to her eyes. She loved her parents, and she was glad that she was able to help bring them together.
