Hi everyone, I'm back! And you can't be mad at me! It wasn't a year... yet... okay, so I'm only short a year by one or two days. I'm afraid that it can't be helped. Next year might be even busier. I certainly hope that I manage to pull the characters off. If not, well... I dunno, I guess. I haven't even had time to read any fanfiction lately, so, I could barely dig up the inspiration that normally fuels me. Without further ado, onto the disclaimer, and then chapter.

Disclaimer: No, I do not own this, and the proof that I do not own Fairy Tail lies in the simple fact that it was finished (something I have a hard time doing).

Chapter 5: TheRealLisannaStrauss

TheRealLisannaStrauss:

Hello, there! I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Lisanna. So, I read your story, and I'm not really sure where to begin or what to say... I guess I could say that this strikes me on a very personal level.

First, maybe I should ask, what did I say? What did I do wrong? I'm really sorry, and I never meant to give you such a negative impression of me! I don't understand why you could think those things of me... I just wanted you to know who I am, what kind of person I am. I'm someone who loves my family, and friends at Fairy Tail. I just want them all to be safe and happy!

It doesn't bother me that people think poorly of me. But it does bother me that people think that I would purposely hurt my family and friends. That's something that hurts more than anything else ever could. I would rather die than hurt them, or be the cause of their suffering.

I'm not going to ask you to remove this story, as it is your creation and I know you've spent a lot of time writing it. However, I ask that you get to know the real me. And encourage others to do so as well. Please take note of it, even make a mention in the story that you are writing, if you could. Know and tell others that I would never do those things, not to Lucy, not to Natsu, nor to anyone else.

I can tell you what really happened when I came back. It was both a happy and a sad time for me. I had become so close to my brother and sister in Edolas, along with everyone else there, that it was bittersweet and I almost didn't want to leave them. When I came back to Earthland, though, I was so happy to see Mira-nee and Elf-niichan again! I was also happy to see Natsu, of course, and to meet Lucy, who in a way, I felt like I already knew. But, I was relieved, too. I was thankful that Natsu hadn't seemed like he was dwelling this whole time over my disappearing, not like he's done with Igneel. I was thankful to Lucy. I know that Lucy could never replace me. But I know that I will never replace her. We are each special to Natsu, just as we are special to each other.

In any event, I hope that this note finds you and gives you more of an idea of who Lisanna Strauss actually is. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, even if it doesn't change your mind fully. Although, I definitely hope that it does. Because, if there's anything that I want people to remember me for, it's that I love Fairy Tail dearly, and everyone in it.

Sincerely,

Lisanna Strauss

Author's Note: Almost a year, almost a year! But not quite. Again I am so sorry. It's basically just lack of time and I get super unsure of whether or not I'm even writing the characters right or not. I had this sort of review for Lisanna in my head since I first started this story, though. I think it came out all right. Maybe not as well as I'd wished for, but definitely better than I thought it would be. I would love a review if you'd like! Please, drop me a line! And those of you that have been waiting patiently this whole time, thank you and I'm sorry. Um, Happy New Year too!
