This is the continuity of Train Encounter. About Lisanna Strauss and Sting Eucliffe. I suddenly think that these two people could be a good couple. I knew some are shipping LucyXSting. But, I'm sorry. I'm not a Lucy thing. So, here's my first (or second?) fanfic on LisannaXSting. Please enjoy, then review. I just love Lisanna so much. Sting is just a

The day had come. Lisanna observed the request board for mission. She was looking for a mission in Hargeon. Why was there lack mission in Hargeon? She remembered her promise to the white dragon slayer. He must be waiting for her. She looked up to the second floor. S-class requests. Since everyone could take S-class mission, why didn't she? Was she capable of it? She wasn't even an S-class candidate, she was just Juvia's partner.
When she climbed the stairs to the second floor, her sister called.
"Are you going to take S-class mission?" Lisanna grinned.
"No, no, of course not. Why should I?"
"Why not?"
"I can take S-class mission?" Her eyes sparkled.
"No. Not after you came back injured," her sister protested.
"Mira-nee," she whined. Her sister ignored her. "Okay, at least give me a mission in Hargeon," she said, followed her sister to the bar.
"Why Hargeon?"
"There's a funfair I missed two years ago. Eh, I mean, nine years ago. Please," she whined again.
"That's not that funfair. That funfair had shut down years ago. When we're in Tenrou Island," her sister explained.
"At least, there's still a funfair," she convinced her. Mirajane sighed.
"Here. I just received it just now. Once again you come back hurt, I'll ban you from going on mission alone again. You'll be joining other teams. Got it?" Lisanna saluted her sister.
"Yes, madam! I'll come back in one piece!" she kissed her sister and then ran out of the guild.
"Oi, Lisanna!" Natsu shouted. He just came back from mission with his team.
"Got a mission. Bye!" She showed him her request paper while running out of the guild.
She went home to pack her things. After that, she ran to the train station.

She reached Hargeon on the evening. She went straight to the funfair. However, before she reached the gate of the funfair, she saw two figures. No, to be exact, there were four figures. She slowly turned around. She hoped they didn't notice her.
"Oi! Mirajane's sister!" She stopped. Slowly, she spun around. She skipped happily toward them.
"Hi!" She waved them. "I didn't see you there."
"Where's Natsu?" she grinned.
"He'll be here soon. Since we're here, let's enjoy!" She pulled Sting into the funfair.
They (actually, only Lisanna) tried many games in the funfair. Lector followed Sting around while Frosch stayed with Rouge, walked slowly around the funfair. They went to catch goldfishes, watched monsters and a lot more games. And finally, they ended up in a restaurant. Lisanna ordered a lot of food. She also ordered two fish for the cats. She even asked the twin dragon slayers to order anything they want.
"Let's eat!" she shouted. The twin dragon slayers and their cats didn't move. They watched the enthusiastic girl. "Hey, you're dragon slayers, right? Is there anything particular you eat to gain energy? Like Natsu is a fire dragon slayer and Gajeel is an iron dragon slayer. They eat their elements. Fire and iron. How about you?" she asked while putting another sushi in her mouth. Sting didn't say anything but took a sip of tea.
Putting away the awkward silence, Lisanna continued to talk and tell them about Fairy Tail guild and its members. How wonderful is Fairy Tail and how awesome are the members. She ignored the bored hints made by Sting and Lector. Till she talked about someone that caught Rouge's interest.
"I met him two years ago. He wore suite and a hat. Totally different from Gajeel, right?" Rouge tried to not showing his interest. "I know you won't believe me, but it's true. Even their names are the same. I heard that they were good friends."
"They met?" Rouge asked, made Lisanna cynically smiled. Then, he turned his face away.
"They met. Even our Gajeel was very proud to have him as a friend. Although they were a total different. The other Gajeel is not tough and rough as ours. He is a gentleman. But he loves adventure as much as our Gajeel does." Lisanna drank again. She put her head on the table.
"I wish I met mine. If she still alive," she continued. "If she alive," she whispered.
"Don't you think she drunk?" asked Rouge. Sting observed the girl. Rouge patted his friend's shoulder. "Frosch," he called his cat companion. The cat in frog suite flew onto his shoulder.
"I'm not drunk," she said. She stood up. She was staggering when she took the first step. Sting stood up. He left some jewels on the table and hinted his cat to leave. He brought the girl out of the restaurant. Once they outside, he brought her piggy-back, back to his rented room.
"I thought you hate me," she said. Her eyes closed. She buried her face in his back. "Lisanna no longer sunshine of Fairy Tail," she mumbled.
"Stop talking. Go to sleep," he said. "You're drunk."
"I'm not drunk." They fell silent. "Do you hate me?"
"No, if you quit talking now." She giggled.
"I can't stop talking. I'll stop if I'm alone."
"Then, pretend I'm not with you. Pretend you're alone."
"You're a good person," she said. "I don't understand why they didn't like you. You're not so bad. You're pretty much like Natsu. I don't know, when you like a girl, you realize it or not. Natsu, he obviously likes Lucy. Do you know Lucy? She is a stellar mage. If I not mistaken, she has all the zodiac keys. She is a great mage, right? I'm no match to her. She is far better than me. She is beautiful, sexy, golden hair, hazel eyes, and a great mage. She helped Natsu in many missions. She even defeated mage that stronger than her. Natsu trusts her. She is like, a source of power for Natsu. Natsu is stronger when she is around. She – "
"You're jealous, right?" he shut her. Only heard was her sigh.
"You think so?" she asked him. "I think so too. She is beautiful than me. She is stronger than me. She's not like other stellar mage. She fights alongside her spirits. She befriends with them. She cares them. She not used them. And…she got Natsu. She got everyone else. I wonder what will happen if I didn't die two years ago. Maybe - "
"This is the second time I heard about you died. How can you die while you're here? Breathing." He asked.
"Ne~" Her mind worked to change the topic. "Where'd you find your cat?" she asked. Sting realized she always avoids that topic.
"Why?"
"Because Natsu and I found Happy while he was in egg. In the woods. It was a big egg. Bigger than ostrich's egg." She opened her hands to show him how big the egg was. "He was named Happy because the day he was born, or hatched, everyone in the guild was very happy. Even Mira-nee and Erza were happy. They didn't fight that day. It was a happy day."
They reached their destination. Sting put the girl on a bed. She still clung to him.
"Hey, let me off. I'm tired. Go to sleep now." She didn't move.
"Can – can I cry?" Sting confused. He wanted to turn to her but she was clinging to him so hard that made him could not move. "I afraid that you may be bothered later," she reasoned.
"Why'd you want to cry? You-"
"Because today is so exciting. I know you're not happy to have me here. But thank you for entertained me today. It was very happy that it makes me want to cry. Can I?"
"Whatever. Do anything you want to do." She released her hands off his back while mumbled 'thank you'. She walked slightly staggered to the bathroom. He confused.
"Isn't she said she wants to cry?" Lector raised his shoulder. He jumped on a coach. Sting joined him. "She is very weird." He took off his shirt. "I never thought girls are weird. She talks non-stop. Doesn't she tire? Ah, forget it. Let's sleep. I'm very tired. That girl drives me crazy." He hugged his cat and slept.
Sting awoke in the middle of the night. He went to the bathroom. As he opened the door, he saw the non-stop-talking girl. In the bathtab. Full of water. Is she…drowning? He quickly pulled her out of the water. He tried to wake her up.
"Hey, hey," he called. He shook her wet body. She wasn't breathing.
"Sting?" Lector appeared from the door.
"She's not breathing. What should I do?" he asked, panicking.
