Hey, fairy tail fans, it's your typical apology time. Sorry, that said. I wanted to do this before starting the next arc. It's a sort of flashback. I feel I won't fit in the edolas chapter (more on that later), and I needed a spot for chapter seventy-three because you know all these fanfic exclusive stuff. And here we are. I'll try to make it longer by adding old content, but it will probably be short. So yeah, sorry about that. So yeah, now that that's out the way

, disclaimer: this is a type of songfic that is mainly about Mira and Natsu, so if you don't like those, you have been warned, the reason being is, well, I got the idea from all the other the guild finds out Natsu can sing type fics and usually they all have a song dedicated to Lisanna seeing as she was an essential part of his life. I felt like I should include something like that. If you don't like song fics, you are free to skip this one, chapter 74 will be posted alongside it, and it's a regular chapter.

let's get to it

Flashback

Mira lay on the ground. Natsu ran up to her and picked her up "damn it," Natsu muttered as he used a torn shirt to cast her arm Lisanna ran up to the group "Mira, Natsu," she shouted, "what? Happened.

"the monster had me," Mira told her. "Elfman then saved by performing a full-body takeover."

Lisanna turned to the monster in front of "that's Elfman," she asked as the monster loomed over them. Letting out a sigh, she walked towards it.

"Lisanna, wait," Mira called out, "stay back."

Ignoring her sister, Lisanna held out her arms and smiled, "Hey, big brother," the monster stopped and looked at her. "I know you're scared, but you don't have to be; your family's right here," she told him, smiling, "we still love you," she said. The monster froze for a few seconds before sweeping at her time seemed to go in slow motion as Lisanna flew into the air.

Sad song

"Lisanna!" Mira shouted in tears as she watched her sister fly away. Natsu stood back in total shock as the monster roared

not wasting time, Mira ran to her sister's side "Lisanna," Mira called as she ran to her sister's side, holding her hand as Lisanna lay on the ground motionless

"I feel strange," Lisanna said, not moving "big sis," Lisanna asked, "where'd you go."

"I'm right here," Mira asked, "please save your strength," Mira said, "help will be here soon."

"Mira," Lisanna said before she stopped moving.

"Lisanna," Mira called Lisanna."

End Flashback

Mira snapped back into reality; her mind wondered it had been at least three weeks since Lisanna's death, and well, things weren't too good. The town was in mourning. Elfman was sleeping, and Natsu was always gone. That's what wound her up here '. He's going to be here, I bet."

Mira reasoned with herself that it was mid-day and hot as she wiped the sweat from her brow; she was glad she was in shorts and a tank top coming over branches. Mira came to a stop "you can do this," she whispered; she was about to go through when she heard the strums of a guitar peeling through the bushes; she saw Natsu on a branch, a sad face in his eyes as he looked at the makeshift grave for her little sister.

"what's he about to" Mira stopped when Natsu started singing, shocking the white-haired Girl 'since when' Mira was about to shout but decided against it 'let's see where this is going

"coast is clear," Natsu thought Happy was with Mavis talking about how he felt, so Natsu thought it was a good time. a good time to release the emotional baggage that he's been hiding counting down in his head, he began

You and I, we're like fireworks and symphonies exploding in the sky.

With you, I'm alive

Like all the missing pieces of my heart, they finally collide.

So, stop time right here in the moonlight.

'Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes

Mira couldn't believe it. He was singing her adoptive little or brother-in-law whatever was singing right in front of her, and he started pretty well. She wondered, though, was this about Lisanna? Was he affected more than he was letting on? She decided not to reveal herself just yet. Mira leaned in a little closer to her brother; she wondered if he was making it up as he went.

Without you, I feel broke.

Like I'm half of a whole

Without you, I've got no hand to hold

Without you, I feel torn

Like a sail in a storm

Without you, I'm just a sad song

I'm just a sad song

accidentally slipping from the shock, Natsu noticed her "Mira," he asked as Mira revealed herself to him

"you have a nice voice," she told him, "please don't stop," Mira pleaded. "I miss her too," Natsu looked away. He was embarrassed. Mira walked up to him. She wondered if he ever sang to Lisanna Mira smiled. She probably wanted his voice all to herself as Natsu started to leave; she stopped him before she smiled

With you, I fall

It's like I'm leaving all my past and silhouettes up on the wall

With you, I'm a beautiful mess

It's like we're standing hand and hand with all our fears up on the edge

So, stop time right here in the moonlight

'Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes

Natsu was shocked. He knew Mira could sing, but he didn't expect her to start now; maybe she was telling him something. He looked back at her, and she felt the urge to continue as she walked closer to her brother; not waiting for him, she began

Without you, I think broke

Like I'm half of a whole

Without you, I've got no hand to hold

Without you, I feel torn

Like a sail in a storm

Without you, I'm just a sad song

smiling, Natsu hugged her, tears coming down his face. "I miss her, Mira," he told her, "I miss her," he said, "she can't begone."

Mira patted him on the back as she squeezed him tighter. "I know," she said, "it's okay," she whispered, "it's okay," she then felt the urge like both of them needed this. They were S-class wizards, yet they both failed to do what they were supposed to do to protect their families. Mira smiled at Natsu, who smiled back at her; they then left the grave to go back to town; they decided to continue the song for

You're the perfect melody.

The only harmony I wanna hear.

You're my favorite part of me.

With you standing next to me

I've got nothing to fear

the duo sang this as they made their way back to town, picking up Happy as people turned to listen to their song. They eventually found Elfman sitting at the tree where they left for their dreaded mission hugging the man as he started to cry over what he did

Without you, I feel broke

Like I'm half of a whole

Without you, I've got no hand to hold

Without you, I feel torn

Like a sail in a storm

Without you, I'm just a sad song

Soon the three siblings left the tree with the comfort and memory of Lisanna; they would continue to grow to make sure that something like this never happens again. Some years later, after the oracion seis incident, Mira hummed this song in her head "what singing there, Mira" Wendy asked her; looking back, Mira put on a smile she was faking but didn't want to worry about the little girl.

"don't worry, Wendy," Mira told her "it's not a song I like people to hear anymore," Mira explained, hoping the sky maiden would understand and leave the topic alone. However, the confused look on Wendy's face meant she hadn't turned to look at Mira and smiled.

"it's just a sad song."

and that's it

for those of you wondering; the song used is called sad song by

We The Kings, I planned to use this or Lucy by skillet. I felt both could capture the mood. But I will say that I might do something similar to this in my other story just for fun, make it a running gag or something, so tell me what you think

also; this and chapter seventy-four will be the last two chapters (for now, with this kind of setup; after that, we will be back to our regularly scheduled fanfic. If you want more short stories like this, please let me know. I'm thinking of calling them tales of the fairies.
