Hello all! I've been through a tiring exam week with two exams everyday but finally, my school will be finished on Friday and will be on a break for two weeks. I am so calmed and happy.

Did you watch the 113th episode? Bixlow and Fried surely kicked ass and... Btw, I wanna toast, WE ACTUALLY HAD OUR FIRST REAL LISANNA BIXLOW DIALOGUE!

Lisanna: Fried, Bixlow! Be careful! *is concerned about the two, well she is really caring that she said this for the second time, third's on the way,"

Bixlow: No need to remind us! *in his very dismissive way"

Oh god so romantic *is shot once again,*

Lol, well for the latest manga chapter, I want to say that Lisanna really is beautiful and one of the few characters that I like the dressing style of. Elfman was lol and I hope we won't be seeing his muscles grow any bigger than that. Seriously...

Last but not least, I strangely loved Rustyrose alot, more than I should have maybe.

"Aren't you the groupies of the grandson of Makarov?" I loled so hard when he said this. Well, might be true~~

Anyways, enough of me fangirling, I hope you enjoy :)

To Forget to Remember

Chapter 6:

All about the Chances and Sneezes

Dearest sister,

I'm really sorry that I worried you during my absence. Everything is alright here and I can assure you that all of us are fine. Fried and Bixlow arrived yesterday and I'm planning to stay to help them until the conditions get better. None of us are sure about when our return will be, but I'll write you another letter to get you know.

Last but not least, tell Elf nii-chan that I'm sending my best wishes to him for his birthday, along with my apologies for the fact that I wasn't able to be with him on his day.

Until then take care, Love you all,

Lisanna Strauss

Lisanna folded the letter and placed it into an envelope. Before they left, she had gone to find the Raijinshuu men to ask for a favor to deliver the letter to a post office.

-üöü-

Lisanna sneezed as she wheeled the wheelbarrow, trying to avoid the muddy puddles at the same time. Her injuries got better in the last week but, seemingly her health problems just wouldn't stop occurring. The weather of Dejakmara was killing Lisanna with the chills alike of the middle fall. Within just a minute, she sneezed once again, much to her dislike.

"I don't want to be sick," Lisanna mumbled under her breath and grumpily, she kept on pushing the wheelbarrow to the entrance of the barn. She was finished with today's work when she filled the last empty barrel with herbs.

When she returned back to the barn, Mrs. Delios greeted her in and offered her a blanket, and a hot chocolate to drink. Lisanna settled down onto the floor cushion and comforted herself.

"Here you go honey," Kerrin wrapped the blanket around her tightly and handed over the hot glass of chocolate.

"Thanks a lot ma'am," Lisanna smiled with a sniffle.

"Oh my, is that a runny nose you have there?"

"It's nothing important, I'm sure that I will be a picture of health just by toma-ha –ACHOO!"

Lisanna sighed then sniffed once again.

"I'll prepare some treatments for you, just stay here and rest," Mrs Delios got away, and Lisanna was left to stay there on her own.

Lisanna looked down to the hot chocolate glass in her hands. She sipped the warmness in and had that cozy feeling as she did so. She placed herself more comfortably and closed her eyes to her thoughts.

Her heart flew near her new partners. She wondered what Bixlow and Fried were doing right now. Probably they were "patrollin' all around the town to hunt down some naughty bugs who dare to peekaboo" in Bixlow's saying. She didn't worry about them and their well being. Those two were really powerful and serious when they fought.

That would have been pretty nice if Fried allowed her to join in their fight against the bugs, but she also admitted to herself, if she were to do so, she would be in their way.

Her nose was tickled and she sneezed for one more time.

"Someone's sick here, I see,"

"Sick!" Peppe gasped.

"I see!" Poppo added.

Lisanna lifted her head up when she heard him and his babies' voices.

"Yea, sorta. Mira-nee will kill me when we turn back, that's what worries me the most actually," Lisanna joked.

"You're talkin' as if she's treating you with her Satan Soul," Bixlow grinned lazily.

"So, what brings you back home early? And …Where is Fried?"

"Fried's back at the camp site and planning our next move, well, that's the reason I'm here," Bixlow folded his arms over his chest, standing still in his trademark pose in front of the hall entrance.

"What?"

"We need you 'n this. I'm here to take you with me," he finalized.

"We need you!" Babies sang in chorus.

"R-really?" What she was wishing just a minute ago was going to be real.

He wouldn't be surprised if Lisanna jumped out from her place to burst around happily. Bixlow could tell it by the change of look in her eyes. He knew she wanted to come along so much, so why not? Lisanna frankly wanted to show what she was made of, and nobody could judge her. After all, she was just another crazy fairy in the pool. She wasn't a baby or a child to be seated.

Energy and happiness was formed in her beautiful eyes as her expression was quickly brightened with excitement.

Bixlow instantly shook his thoughts away. Alright, her eyes were quiet pretty and he should have admitted as any other would have.

"Yea. You really got a stroke of luck here. Fried hardly accepted my words,"

"Wait, you suggested me in?"

"Fried was tryin' to figure out whether it'd be safe or not if we followed the bugs to their nest. Some teams've been against him since that'd be dangerous to use firepower in underground, but, they were just a bunch of scardy cowards, anyways. I told Fried that if we were to go to underground to deal with those bugs at their place, we needed you to find our path in and out. What'd you say?"

"Of course I'm in! How can I thank you?" Lisanna finally stood up from her place and went near him.

"Just assure us that we get out in one piece,"

"Alright!" Lisanna gave Bixlow a determined look.

"Welcome dear! Can you hold these? " Mrs. Delios appeared right behind Bixlow and without him being able to respond, she placed some jars along with lemons and a towel into his arms.

Bixlow examined the things that were inside the jar, but he couldn't figure out what they were and what they were used for.

"They are medical herbs and syrups," she said. "But it seems I still lack the ones that Lisanna needs. I'm going to pharmacy, so I suppose you can look after Lisanna,"

"Mrs, thanks but there is no need for it," She apologetically bent her head a bit.

"Bixlow and I'll be leaving now to help out to the others,"

-üoü-

"Woah, you can combo up to 13 sneezes!"

"Cut it ou- ACHOO!" Lisanna sneezed her 14th on the way.

"Sneeze!" Peppe shouted.

"Combo!" Poppo followed.

"Woah!" Pappa was amazed.

"I say, ALL OF YOU! It's not funny that my nose feels funny," Lisanna sniffed loudly and pouted unpleasantly to her current situation. She pursed.

"Pft, you're such a kill joy,"

"Sometimes, you are too annoying for your own sake," Lisanna encountered back.

"Me? You were laughin' at my jokes just a while ago. Guess you've some serious issues 'bout handlin' some mockin'," But Bixlow wouldn't try to change this habit of hers. She was so much fun to tease.

"Next time, I'm going to sneeze upon you," Lisanna glared at him from the corner of her eye.

Bixlow chuckled quietly.

The two walked on side by side, passing by the other farmlands at the time.

-üöü-

"Listen up folks! Tomorrow in the early morning, we're getting into the underworld!"

It was the final decision given at the meeting that the representatives of each guild's team made. There seemed no other option; they were going to solve the problem from its roots.

Lisanna followed after her own team mates without knowing where they were heading to.

"I'm sorry to call you here Lisanna, if it wasn't urgent, I wouldn't have asked for your presence," said Fried, quiet apologetically he sounded.

"No, please don't worry. I feel fine," Lisanna reassuringly smiled.

Bixlow and Fried leaded her to the camp fire; they found a place and settled nearby many others. Lisanna watched how the flames ascended up and dimmed down as they the warmth emitted to surroundings. She didn't freeze anymore..

-üoü-

Lisanna rolled in her sleeping bag to her left side; she was very indisposed by the stuffiness and, as a result, her sleep was constantly being interrupted. There was no end of her struggling. When she had been awaken from her sleep for the fifth time, she put on her coat and went out of her tent to get some fresh air.

She decided to tour around the campsite, as she strolled, she realized someone was sitting by a much smaller camp fire.

"Bixlow?"

Her speculation turned out to be right. There he was sitting with his babies quietly. His attention was focused on the dancing flames.

He didn't realize her until she put a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey," She sat down to his right.

"What're you doin' here late at night?" He asked.

"I should be the one asking it to you,"

"I'm on duty," he said. "I'm chosen as the watchman," the tone of his voice efficiently implied that he wasn't very happy with it.

"Duty!" Pappa wheezed.

"Watchman!" Pippi squealed.

And other babies joined them with their own sayings.

"I'm out because I couldn't sleep from stuffiness, so I thought if I get some fresh air, I might sleep peacefully," Lisanna completed her part.

"Not gonna work if you plan to stay longer, weather isn't very pleasant," Bixlow pointed.

Lisanna sighed.

"Either way, I won't be able to sleep so, do you mind company?"

Bixlow considered this for a second or two. Maybe tonight wouldn't be so bad; he would eventually find a way to tease her again.

"Do as you please," he said. "But I won't be carryin' you around tomorrow if you don't wake up,"

Lisanna giggled then saw Bixlow's babies and their intention to avoid getting close to the fire.

"They are pretty cute," Lisanna adoringly kept watching them as they hid behind Bixlow.

Babies giggled to the complement they received.

"Hmm?"

"Yes. Their expressions are adorable! But my favorite would be, the… Grinning one,"

"That's Pappa," Pappa landed on Bixlow's head and repeated his name for a couple of times happily.

"They even have names?"

"Yup," Bixlow nodded and babies immediately formed a line in front of their master.

"Pappa, Peppe, Pippi, Poppo, Puppu," As Bixlow presented each one with their names to Lisanna, the presented doll repeated its name and put a different act. Lisanna broke the straight line of tiki dolls and grabbed Pippi to look into its details.

"Where did you get the dolls?" she and Pippi was facing each other. Pippi, except its wooden hard body, felt like holding a living being as it moved in her hands to set free.

"I got the dolls from an antique dealer in Pergrande, that sleazy old hag had a very nice collection of tiki dolls, but back then I was down by a few jewels, so I afforded these,"

"From the Kingdom of Pergrande? You've gone a good distance to shop,"

"Nah, I got 'em at the time I lived there,"

"You are from Pergrande?" Lisanna blinked, rather in disbelief but quickly remembered what Laxus was talking about his trip to Pergrande. Bixlow chuckled to her expression with a lolling tongue.

"Why so shocked? Not that I said I came from the moon, huh? "

"It's just that I wonder, why would you come over such great distances to live far from your homeland?"

"My eyes are to be blamed;" he pointed his eyes under his visor with his middle and index finger.

Lisanna's attention locked onto him, knowing her current curiosity, Bixlow kept telling.

"Laxus's the one who found and took me along with him when I was troubled. My Figure Eyes were newly released and there was no one around to tutor me 'bout handlin' 'em."

Lisanna deducted that Bixlow's huge respect and loyalty towards Laxus was the reason of this past evidence.

"It must have been hard,"

" When you dunno what the hell is happenin' to you, things can be tough,"

"... Do you have a family back at Pergrande?" She questioned softly, it was the actual part that she didn't remember Laxus talking about.

Bixlow had to think to answer.

"…Yea, sorta."

"Sorta?" Lisanna blinked.

"I mean, I wasn't born to their family, but they've been like a real family." Bixlow said, having a maze of his past unknown to Lisanna. Lisanna could swear that she even saw him smile humbly. Something you wouldn't see him doing every day.

"You seem to have a story to be told, would you like to share?"

"Nah, believe me. Nothing's special 'bout it," Bixlow said rather dismissively.

"Don't spare me lies, it is very clear that they are special for you .When did you see them lastly?" Lisanna asked.

Bixlow wasn't used to encounter such chain of questions. He wanted to shut her up, but he also wanted to tell her what he had gone through. There were lots of colors back at his home, and lots of smiling faces that he remembered of. He couldn't just ask for more. After all, those were some of the happiest days he had.

"Before I left with Laxus," Bixlow finally responded.

Lisanna's eyes widened.

"Not that I didn't want to see them again, I searched but I couldn't find their track. God knows where they are," Bixlow replied to avoid Lisanna's expression.

"Then …Live with them through your soul," she said.

"If you had such precious times, then why don't you make them live again in your memories and stories? That will bind you with them, wherever and whenever you are, until you find them out among the lands," Lisanna's eyes were locked again to the darkness beneath his visor. She had a strong feeling that his eyes were on hers.

"That I'm sure, one day, you'll find them again." Lisanna smiled warmly.

"So, I'm all ears," she added.

"Fine," Bixlow said in defeat.

And the story began.

I actually planned to write Bixlow's story in this chapter but, I can't stop giving every bit of something. I should try harder to avoid this.

Btw, other chapter will be here tomarrow or on Friday, which will certainly be about Bixlow and his past.

I don't know when I'll start to write down some fluff though, maybe next chapter? May the muses be with me.

Reviews are most appreciated!
