I know I am being terrible, I mean, we've already come to the 3rd chapter and still, nothing happened between Lis and Bix, even a conversation. However I can assure you that whatever happens here is meant for them |D By the way, I decided to change the categories of the story from Drama/Romance to Adventure/Romance because the story actually formed that way in my mind. Action scenes are on the way!

And, I guess that the series will be max 11 chapters. I planned the outline of the going already and all things are settled in my mind.

To Forget to Remember

Chapter 3:

All about the Farms and Worries

It horrified her and saddened her when she saw the destruction from its core.

The loss was immeasurable.

Healthy and young people were running from side to side on the empty streets, trying to get things to work in a proper way. It was a struggle and cooperation to re-create their civilization, and a will to survive. Lisanna wondered in which way she was going to be able to help.

With the description of the location of the town hall in the hand, Lisanna walked through the safest ways she could. There was mess and wreckage of ramshackle buildings. Some houses had holes and enormous scratches carved in their walls as if they were bit; some of them were smashed to the ground flat. As the officer who brought her said all was caused by some bug, Lisanna couldn't dare to imagine how gigantic the bug was.

Going there and here, she reached to the entrance of the town hall. She informed the secretary about her arrival for the quest and at last, she was directed to the administrative work office. She wasn't surprised to see a bunch of desperate people in front of her after she had been accepted to the room. They looked at her with their blank eyes, which was a reflection of their very tired souls.

"You… must be the mage of…?"

"Fairy Tail, sir."

"Well, is there anyone who accompany you or...?"

"I …took this quest alone." Lisanna gulped quietly. Not having a partner was starting to make her nervous.

He mumbled things that Lisanna couldn't make out when he searched for an application form. Eventually he decided a simple petition on a blank paper would be enough

"So what's your ability, where do you think you can be helpful?"

-üöü-

After running around with the paper given and get it sighed up on a desk or two, she threw herself once again on the dusty streets with her backpack hanging on her right shoulder. When she said that she was able to transform herself into any types of animal she liked, she was assigned at the farms right away.

She went out of the town center and kept strolling nearby the farming areas. She was searching for a certain farm that was owned by Mr. Delios. The administrative work officer also commented that it was not hard for her to find it because it was the farm taken most of the damage, and the one needed the most help.

Lisanna noticed the fallen farm building along with the tents nearby. The grounds of the farm were also cracked open by that bug incident. Workers were reconstructing the building while some other came together at where some massive cracks were, probably discussing about how they were going to manage to fill them.

Lisanna was certain that it was the Delios's farm when she read the sigh at the farm's entrance. She walked up to where the other people were to start her job right away. As she was walking, she detected a woman who was heading for the left side of the farm. Lisanna quickened her steps and made for her nearside.

"Excuse me ma'am. I am Lisanna from Fairy Tail mage guild and I am assigned here..."

"It's a relief that someone arrived for us. We have been waiting for you quite a while, it was just about time." The woman smiled to her to welcome her.

-üöü-

The blonde haired and green eyed woman Lisanna first met in the Delios farm, who introduced herself as Mrs. Delios, was a mother of three children and Lisanna could tell she was a mother you would ask for. Although, Lisanna appreciated this warm greeting and Mrs. Delios's offer to drink a tea while resting, Lisanna prefered to get things done as soon as possible.

Deed and Avoz Delios, the oldest two of the three Delios siblings, also participated to help her to carry water from the river.

"So," Deed said."We have two water tanks and one horse that we can use. It will take some time." Deed was the middle child of the family and he was on his early teens.

"I can make the progress faster," Lisanna said.

"What is your magic anyways?" Avoz asked, while he was eyeing her stature. He was the oldest among the siblings.

Lisanna formed her magic seal in her right palm and ordered.

"Animal Soul, Horse!"

In a blink of an eye, Lisanna was transformed into a pink horse with a purple mane.

"Well, this isn't what exactly I'd call a horse but this will do," Avoz smirked and they got onto work.

-üöü-

Lisanna bid a good night to the household of Delios and forced her legs to walk to her tent. As soon as she got inside, she let herself fall onto her sleeping bag. The past three days were possibly the most tiring days she could have ever lived. She didn't know what was making her tired the most, the physical activity or the mass amount of usage of her magic power, she couldn't tell. For a day time, she was the animal which she found the most suitable for the job. She was a giant rabbit when the whole farm needed to be watered. When it came to carry a huge baggage, she became a horse and when the farm needed to be cultivated, she had to transform herself into an ox until the night fall.

She was trying her best to recollect the farm into its old days. Mr. Delios was also happy with her work but, how much it was going to take her to settle things down, nobody knew. Even if she finished her work on this farm, there were thousands of people who still needed assistance.

In a blink of an eye, she woke up to a rising sun. The light beams were illuminating her and her surroundings in the form of white stripes. She closed her eyes shut again, not wanting to stand up at least for an hour but she knew she would sooner or later be woken up by a member of the Delios family.

After five minutes, she had enough will to get up and prepare herself for the day. When she was done, she changed into her daily clothes and went out of her tent to join the Delios at the breakfast.

-üöü-

They were on the fields again, nearby a massive dent a deganor dug up.

"First things first, we need to find a way to fill up these nasty dents." Mr. Delios said.

"Workers are trying to fill the gaps. Although a day later the cracks that had been filled opened up again. Maybe the hole is so deep that the soil can't be stabilized on the surface." Deed pointed.

"Some workers even commented additional dents were opening nearby the filled gaps."

"What'd you suggest, Lis?" Avoz turned to her, waiting for a respond.

Lisanna kneeled down nearby the dent to examine. She wasn't able to see anything through the deep darkness.

"I need to look into the matter from underground." Lisanna stood up after deciding on her next move. Her pink magic seal appeared again and transformed her into a purple mole.

Lisanna couldn't see but her senses were enough capable to guide her in the underground. She kept digging for a while until she found herself in a huge underground cave. The surface below her was very rocky. There was no way the upper layer of the soil would collapse into it.

She was becoming suspicious of the truth behind the "truth". Before she could move on to look into for more, she was shaken by a quack. It was an answer to her mental question, what she was looking for wasn't too far away.

The guild was not very crowded and Mirajane didn't have much of a thing to do. She had cleaned the empty tables for the last time before going to have the brush to clean the floors.

She started humming one of her favorite songs as she wiped the floors. She didn't know what she could do next when she finished the cleaning. She could go out to have some fun with her siblings but both of them were still gone on their personal quests. She prayed for their safety once again.

Fried Justine entered to see Mirajane's elegant figure. He, with a tiny bit of excitement in his heart, was planning to ask her out that night.

"Good afternoon, Mira."

Mirajane smiled cheerfully.

"It's good to see you, Fried. How are you?" She was smiling for him. Actually she did smile for everyone in the guild in this blissful way but Fried wanted to believe that he was special for her as much as she was for him.

The moment was not helping him to speak his words as effectively as he made up in his mind. He felt a little dizzy as his cheeks heated up. That would be too much of a laugh for Bixlow if he could see Fried blushing and sweating like a school girl.

"I am perfectly fine Mira, thanks and I... I came in with a purpose of asking you something, actually. Do you have enough time to talk?"

Mirajane blinked but nodded rapidly.

"Of course I do! What is it?"

"There is something I plan-"

"Oish! You've got mail!" Suddenly a very long nosed post man entered in.

Mirajane pardoned and walked up to the postman to receive the newest mission requests.

"Thanks Coten."

Fried, in his mind, used terrible words for Coten for interrupting his speech but decided that he was over reacting because of the way he felt.

He noticed that Mirajane was reading the first request paper that was on the top of the request pile. As she was backend, she held her hand to her mouth.

There was something wrong.

Immediately, Fried came by her side to see what the matter was.

Help us to fight against the deganor invasion that destroyed our lands in Dejakmara.

Group mission.

Fried read on the paper but he couldn't figure out what exactly was going on with it.

"What's wrong?"

Mirajane went after the postman without losing time and Fried followed after her.

"Coten! Wait up!"

"Oi, Mirajane? What's wrong?"

"Do you know about what happened at Dejakmara?" Worry was in her voice and concern could be read on her wide blue eyes.

"Oi, yes. Some months ago the town was nearly drilled by deganors but it was said that some guild cleaned up the area from those gigantic bugs. It seems they reappeared again yesterday."

The postman went away and it was only Mirajane and Fried left out of the guild's entrance. Mirajane had teary eyes as she imagined the worst case scenario in her head. They stood there for a minute or two until Fried was able to form something in his head to speak. Remembering Lisanna's departure with a paper in her hand, it was finally making sense to him.

"Is it about Lisanna's quest?"

Mirajane nodded slightly.

"Mirajane…" Fried stood in front of her and locked his eyes to hers.

"Yes?"

"I will go there and bring her back to you."

Some MiraxFried for you :D (Sorry if you not like them together though :O )

Reviews are always appreciated!

The "-üöü-" thing is obviously stupid but I had no choice. From now on when I use them as a separation, that means the mentioned character will be in next part but in another time( as you can see, her time is being fast forwarded) , and the straight line it means that we are going to read about another character!
