Lisanna POV

She even got Laxus on her side. Damn her to the pits of hell. She acts like she's innocent of any crime. She took Natsu away from me, but that's fine, I got him back safely. He's dating me, not her.

"Lisanna, you're taking this too far." Gray whispered in my ear as he passed by, on his way to the guild. "Lucy didn't even know you. And if you knew Lucy, she'd never hurt Fairy Tail. She's part of the family, whether you like it or not. I'm not going to let you hurt my little sister. She doesn't have family like you. She's an only child, her mother is dead, and her father is an evil, power-hungry man. She is finally happy. Why are you trying to steal that away from her?"

I stared at him as Gajeel stood in front of me and nodded. He must have heard what Gray said.

"She must really be good in bed for you act like this Gray. And Gajeel, I never knew you were cheating on Levy with Lucy. I should be a good friend and tell her and Laxus. It's only fair. If Natsu were cheating on me, I would want to be told about it."

"You aren't Lisanna Strauss. You're a monster in her body. No wonder we like her more than you. You're only out to get her. That's sick." Gray growled. "Lisanna Strauss is dead. She wasn't resurrected from Edolas. She died two years ago. The dead don't come back to life. No miracles ever happen. I'll tell Natsu the truth. I'll remind him who he really loves. It'll hurt him when he realizes that she moved passed him and onto Laxus, but at least I owe my rival that courtesy. He doesn't deserve to be under the control of a vengeful person."

"Laxus is right about you. You really are a white-haired wench." Gajeel grunted before pushing passed me and over to Levy. He wrapped his arm protectively around her waist and glared at me. He whispered something in her ear and she turned to glare at me, too. She was not happy.

I turned away from them and scanned the guild hall for Natsu. I found him talking to Gray and Erza. Erza had an angry aura to her and Gray was gesturing in my direction constantly. I stormed over there. I was furious, Gray was telling Natsu my true intentions towards Lucy! She was in my spot! They replaced me with her!

I was close to Laxus. Maybe not on a romantic level but we were still close. She was taking everyone I cared about away from me!

"Lisanna! Is this true?! You want to kill Lucy?!" Natsu shouted, gaining everyone present's attention.

I shook my head. "Of course not! I would never raise my hand against a guild mate like that!

Lucy, who had been sitting with Laxus and the Raijinshu, walked over to me.

"Here you go, Lisanna. I saw it at the bottom of our bag of presents this morning. I guess I didn't see it. Sorry. But please take it. It reminds me of you." Lucy smiled at me. It was a warm genuine smile.

Did she honestly forgive me? Even if I was trying to kill her?

She put the object in my hand and I stared at it. It was a rabbit laying in the moon. On the back read "Reach for the stars, where true friends lay." Lucy really want to be my friend. The rabbit must have been me and the moon was her.

"'Reach for the stars, where true friends lay.' I want us to be friends Lisanna. If you feel threatened by me being here, please come talk to me about it, okay? Whatever you're mad about, I'm sure we can talk through it. Fairy Tail became my family, too. Gray's my brother, just like Freed, Bixlow, Gajeel, Jet, Droy, Reedus, Max, Warren and Elfman. Romeo's my little brother. Wendy's my little sister. Mira, Erza, Evergreen, Bisca, Juvia, Cana, Levy, and Laki are my older sisters. Just like you're my sister, Lisanna. So will you be my friend and sister?" She extended her hand out to me.

I felt time stop. This girl knew I didn't like her. Yet, she was extending the proverbial olive branch of peace. She was trying to be my friend because she wants to be near me and get to know me. I felt the ice that encased my heart melt at her words. I launched myself at her, wrapping my arms around her shoulders. I sobbed loudly. I wasn't really sure why I was balling my eyes on her shoulders. She held my tightly and I let go of every emotion I had been holding in.

"It's okay, Lisanna. I was never here to hurt you, or to replace you. I came here for refuge from my father. In fact, you know who brought me here? It was Natsu. He brought me here because he indirectly saved me from a Love Charm. I treated him to lunch. He then indirectly saved again from being sold as a slave in Bosco. As we were running away from the rune knights because Natsu destroyed Hargeon Port, he dragged me to Magnolia and to Fairy Tail. I never had the intention on taking your spot here. Once you're a part of Fairy Tail, no one can ever, I mean ever, replace anyone else. We just make more room for more members of our family. I love Fairy Tail. I love you, Lisanna. You may not believe me now, but the stars tell me that we'll be good friends one day."

I had stopped sobbing and listened to her words over and over and over in my head. "I know so, too." I breathed. "I'm so sorry, Lucy. I don't know what I was thinking. I am so stupid!" I apologized frantically. I felt so guilty.

"Lisanna, come on. You don't look as beautiful when you're like this." Natsu clasped a hand on my shoulder. "Smile for us. You finally put that petty jealousy behind you. We're all nakama! We support each other!"

I silently vowed to never manipulate another nakama again.

Lucy and Natsu smiled at me. Laxus was right next to Lucy, eyeing me suspiciously. I guess it would take some time to regain the trust in the guild.

Laxus had a hand on Lucy's shoulder. "Come on, Luce. What have I told you? Women shouldn't cry unless their happy."

She nodded. "But Laxus, I am happy. I have a new sister." I didn't realize she was crying softly for a while until he pointed it out. "I have a new sister, Laxus. Our family is getting bigger every day."

His arm wrapped around her shoulders. "Every day, huh? Yeah, you're right. Since when do we have three cats?" He pointed at the exceed team.

Lucy smiled. "Oh! This one is Carla, Wendy's exceed. Pantherlily, Gajeel's exceed. And Happy, as you know, Natsu's exceed." Lucy pointed to each respective exceed and said their names with happiness laced in her voice.

Natsu walked over to me, taking my hand in his and dragging me to the bar. "Lucy's S-Class, Lis. She's our newest S-Class. She destroyed Gildarts. Master made her S-Class."
