Chapter 10: Transfer Student, Lisanna

Lucy's POV

Lucy was walking in the hallways of the school, thinking about the flashbacks that had occurred when she had come across Natsu unexpectedly near the big open lake. Her thoughts was aimlessly going through images that she recalled getting that very day. And she couldn't quite understand why she suddenly burst out in tears. All she could remember was her heart sinking inside of her.

The young blonde was heading to her homeroom class hoping that she'll get a chance to have a conversation with Gray. She wanted to make sure that all her pieces of what she gathered on her own was precisely on point. But, for now, she did not want to suddenly talk with Natsu when she was not confident about the situation herself.

But once the young lad had reached her class she was surprise to see a new face appear. A silver haired, young beauty.

The teacher noticed Lucy's late presence, "Miss Heartfilia, please take your seat quickly, I would like to introduce our new student to our class."

Everyone in the room was astonished to see such a beauty joining us this semester. I had my elbows on my desk as my hands were placed under my chin. While the teacher was introducing the transfer student to our class I glanced right over to Natsu who sat right beside me. His shock reaction made me question myself. He just sat there completely frozen, not even a single movement.

I heard a sound of somebody clicking their tongue as I turned my head to see who it was coming from… Gray. His very own expression showed he was rather irritated and filled with frustration. Both Natsu and Gray's facial reaction was completely different from the rest of the class. As far as I know Levy was happily listening, and Gajeel didn't care about the transfer student one bit.

"My name is Lisanna Strauss." The young girl smiled. "I actually came here in search for my fiancé." She chuckled.

"Fiance?" I quoted her. "I wonder who that is." I thought.

Just then, Lisanna was filled with sparkles of joy as she spotted Natsu from the back. "Natsuu!" she sang his name out, as Lisanna tackled him on his seat. Causing them to crash into the other desks nearby.

"UGH!" Natsu groaned loudly.

"What's going on?" questioned Levy.

"Beats me." Gajeel said as he rolled his eyes.

"Natsu, I been waiting for you to come home!" Lisanna whimpered.

Natsu rubbed the bump behind his head and looked at the girl that was on top of him, "Lisanna, what're you doing here?!"

"To see you of course! I am your fiancée after all." She smiled.

Everyone's eyes widen as they looked at the two of them except for Gray, "YOU'RE ENGAGED?!"

My eyes were twitching. I couldn't deny the fact that I was shock to the sudden surprise. This whole entire time I been wondering if Natsu would have been the boy. But now that I heard that he was engaged to Lisanna Strauss, it sounds impossible now! It probably might be Laxus after all…

Natsu's POV

Later during lunch I was having a private conversation with Lisanna somewhere in Fairy Tail's campus where no one was around. It took me by surprise to see her random appearance and being put in the same classroom as I. I wonder if this was all misfortune or a coincidence.

"What're you doing here Lisanna?"

"I came here to see you Natsu." She smiled.

"What do you mean? Didn't you want to be in Edolas?" my palms slowly turned to a fist as I held back my anger.

"Yeah, but what's wrong seeing my fiancé? We are going to get married soon—"

"Lisanna! You already know that arranged married was force upon my own free will! It was not my decision!" I quickly interrupted her. She was quiet for a moment as her smile slowly vanished.

"Well, there's nothing you could do Natsu, the only way to end the contact is if I decided to end it." Lisanna told me. "I am waiting for you to sign the document that Zeref and Igneel are holding for you."

I rolled my eyes and clicked my tongue in anger, "There's no way I am signing those papers, I am not that stupid, Lisanna. I know well enough, that if I do. I'll accept the proposal and that's when the wedding would actually happen. Lisanna, you know very clear, that there is someone who I been waiting on."

Lisanna's face rapidly changed into the color of reddish-pink. I could tell that she was sort of, well, you know, jealous.

"Is that the reason why you left?! Why you did not want to come back home?! The reason why you wouldn't want to marry me at all?!" Lisanna's eyes were trembling as tears were slowly swelling up.

"Lisanna, I may have known you when we were small as well, but, I am not giving up on her."

"Even if Lucy's father holds a grudge against you because of that fatal accident that happened years ago?!"

I froze as an image of Lucy getting hit by a car, automatically played repeatedly in my head. As much as I wanted to forget that horrific tragedy… I could not. I am sure, the parents of Lucy also suffered the same way I did when we witness that scene right in front of our every own eyes.

"Just go home Lisanna, I am not coming back. And that's final. Say hello to Igneel for me though." I slowly turned around to leave, refraining from continuing the conversation before I literally took out my rage at her.

"Natsu, even if you did leave. You know very well as I, that you still hold the status of an upper-class no matter where you go, or if you did permanently leave for good!" Lisanna reminded him.

I didn't turn back to respond to her, but I know for certain that she was still eyeing me, "NATSU!" she shouted, "I am sure that she forgotten about you completely!"

Lisanna watch as her fiancé came to a halt, gazing at his back hoping for him to return back to her. But, he then continued to walk away.

Gray's POV

In class, Gray was sitting on top of a desk near the window. Waiting for the lunch bell to end. He noticed from outside the transparent glass window, Natsu was walking by himself.

"Did he end it with her?" he said out-loud. He wasn't expecting anyone else to be in the classroom with him until Lucy suddenly appeared right next to him giving him a mini heart attack. "End with who?" she said.

Gray jolted back as he moved the desk he was sitting on a bit, bumping into the ones behind it. Which corrupted the straight line that was perfectly set into before. "Holy crap!" he yip, "Damn it Lucy, don't just scare me like that! You gave me a heart attack!"

Lucy let out a sheepish chuckle and apologize to him, "Sorry about that Gray, I didn't mean to do that…"

Gray was huffing deeply as he felt his heart beating like crazy. Once he felt that he calm down he glanced over at Lucy who was just standing a few feet away from him; fidgeting.

"Anyways, what brings you here so early back to class? Lunch haven't even end yet. You got a lot of time left." I told her. I was fixing the desks back in order as Lucy also helped out before I get in trouble with one of the teachers who seems like a perfectionists if things aren't put properly.

"Yeah, well, I had something to ask you." Lucy sat on the seat next to me once we finished adjusting the desks in its original pattern. While I sat on top of the desk from before.

"Okay, about?" I asked her. Lucy seem to hesitate for a while I wasn't really sure if she was going to confess to me, or I was just over-analyzing things.

"Remember that time when you told me about giving it some time?"

I crossed my arms and tilt my head a bit to the left, "Yup, I am over-thinking about the situation. Gray you're an idiot." I thought to myself.

"Um, Gray?" Lucy said.

I quickly turned my face back to her direction, clearing my throat. "Yeah, about Laxus?"

She nodded, "Well, that sort of bothered me lately, and since you are one who has a connection to my diary entry, I wanted to ask some questions."

"Go ahead."

"I been filling out the small pieces and thinking, is… Natsu the little boy I was talking about on my diary? I mean, I am not quite certain. I been getting flashbacks, and just recently I saw Natsu on one of them."

My pupils grew wide the more Lucy explained about her situation. Saying that she saw Natsu screaming out her name when she was close to getting hit by a car. And the moments that she spent with the boy that wore the blue cap, revealing as Natsu.

"I mean, I am entirely confuse myself since I am not really sure. Now that I recently found out that Natsu is engaged to Lisanna. I honestly do think it might not be him at all…" I rolled my eyes to this.

"After all, Laxus could be the one right? He seems to know the promise that I made with the young boy…I been getting flashbacks. The one I recently gotten scared me the most. But, I don't really know. Since the last time you were at my place, Sting mentioned you guys were childhood friends with Natsu…"

I continued on to listen to Lucy.

"If you were childhood friends with Natsu, and that blue hat was yours. Is that how Natsu received your cap from years ago?" She looked at me with eyes full of curiosity and wonders. I didn't really know what to say, but I had to tell her something. A way to make it simpler for her to understand.

"Yes, Lucy." I paused, "The boy you see in your picture is actually Natsu," I told her straightforwardly. Her eyes was slowly turning red, as she was about to cry out, but I could tell she was holding it in. "I am quite certain that your diary entry was about him too. But, I honestly don't know the whole story. I don't know why Natsu is engage to Lisanna at the first place." I looked down to the floor as I breathe out.

"However, I really don't know how Laxus is involved with this entirely. That is the mysterious part."

Silence then fell between us. I don't know how long it actually last, but I felt awkward at that very moment. Like I was having a sentimental moment with Lucy. Until she finally spoke,

"Gray, is that why you told me to give it some time…?" she whispered.

I nodded my head and eyeballed her again, the sun was now shining on us since we were right next to the window. "I mean, I already knew who the boy was on the picture. I was familiar with the face and the hat. But, Laxus? I don't really know his part. But for sure, I assumed that this had something to do with your father, Lucy."

Lucy shot at me a perplexed reaction, amused to hear me go such lengths to even bring her father to the conversation. "Knowing that Jude Heartfilia chose me as one of the bachelors' to marry you, I am quite certain Laxus is used for something. I am sure you would know since he is your father after all."

Lisanna's POV

Lisanna was left all alone by herself as she did a comparison between Lucy and her. What was the difference between the both girls? Of course they were both pretty, females, and Natsu's childhood friend. But knowing that Lucy has lost her memories a long time ago, Lisanna knew that the blonde would have never remembered him, anyways.

However, she was slowly developing such resentment towards Lucy. What did Natsu see in her? What does Lucy have that she don't? Why Natsu couldn't move on and pick Lisanna instead. They were soon going to get married, if only Natsu signed the contract…

She envy Lucy for being able to have such a guy like Natsu. Loving her even though his situation right now was quite risky for him.

The images of Lisanna's past suddenly came across her mind as she remembered the times when she spent with Natsu during her childhood:

"Hey, Natsu. What is that you are holding on your hand?" she asked.

"Oh this? This is a legendary stone that Igneel gave to me. He said it's called Quackoria? Or was it Catoria? Quatloria?"

"You mean Quatoria?" she sweat-drop.

"Yeah! How did you know Lisanna?"

"Obviously, who wouldn't know the famous stone; Quatoria? Even my brother and sister knows what it is!"

"Really? What's so famous about it anyway? It looks like a normal stone to me."

"Oh Natsu, you got a lot to learn. If you find information about Quatoria on books, it doesn't really give you much details. Since it seems like you hold the last stone that exist in mankind today!"

"Woah seriously?"

"Yup, I heard from Mira that in the folktales, it stores all the memories of your life with that person close to you."

"Close to me?"

"Yup! Like a significant other! A love one that you hold so dear in your heart!"

"Geez, Lisanna that sounds pretty cheesy for me. Oh, I know! Why don't I try smashing this into tiny pieces?! Just to see what happens!"

"NO NATSU! If you do that you'll destroy the last Quatoria in this earth! Who knows where you could find this stone!"

"So, all you have to do is just travel and look for it. Geez. How hard is that?"

"Dummy! This stones exist a long time ago! When Dragons were still rulers of the lands! Why do you think I said it might be the last stone in this planet?!"

"Alright already. Chillax Lisanna gosh!"

I chuckled under my breath. It seems like those fun times I had with Natsu slowly disappeared. Right now, I am in a war against Lucy. I need to try and get Natsu back! Also, in a way for him to finally choose me. That's the reason why I came here after all…
