This is the continuity of Train Encounter. About Lisanna Strauss and Sting Eucliffe. I suddenly think that these two people could be a good couple. I knew some are shipping LucyXSting. But, I'm sorry. I'm not a Lucy thing. So, here's my first (or second?) fanfic on LisannaXSting. Please enjoy, then review. I just love Lisanna so much. Sting is just a

Lisanna peeked into the guild. No glimpse of her sister. She was grounded for a week, but she couldn't stand leaving alone at home. At least, Mirajane didn't stay with her. She slowly entered and placed herself on a chair next to Juvia, together with Team Natsu.

"Hey, Lisanna," Natsu greeted her. She smiled.

"Where have you been? Mira-san said, you broke your ankle during mission. Are you alright now?" Lucy asked.

"You broke your ankle? Let me see. Wait. When did you go on mission alone?" She smiled. Got no courage to answer. Natsu, you not notice me anymore, right?

He examined her ankle. It was still bandaged.

"Natsu, let's go on mission together," she asked. Please say 'no'. But deep inside, she wanted him to say 'yes'.

"Sure." Her fair cheeks turned pink. "It's dangerous for you to go on mission by yourself. Lucy, grab a mission. Happy, where's Erza and Gray?" Lucy looked to Lisanna. She understood if Lisanna didn't want them to go with her. She could see frown on her face.

"Would you please help me get out of here?" she asked Lucy. Lucy helped her leaved the guild through the back door.

"Lisanna, I – "

"Lucy, please take care of him." She patted Lucy's shoulder.

"Lisanna." She ignored the stellar mage. She walked in handicapped, tried to not putting much pressure on her ankle.

Lisanna walked slowly across an empty lane. She didn't want to see anyone or to be seen by anyone. Especially Natsu. Or his team. Or Mirajane. She just wanted to be alone. If she didn't die…

"Hey, sweetheart." She didn't move. She saw light reflected from a shining knife. She looked to the owner's face. Black hair, tied to the back. Tall. Wore a long black jacket.

"Are you going to use that knife?" she asked. The guy raised his eyebrows. "I'll give anything to you as long as you use that knife. Right here." She patted on her left chest. "Don't make mistake. Just stab here. Right here." She moved closer to him. "Where are you going?" she asked when he stepped away from her. "Hey, don't go!" He ran away. She hit her back head to the wall a few times. "What am I thinking?" Mirajane must be upset if she know what her little sister just intended to do.

Mirajane placed a plate of fried rice in front of her little sister. The girl grinned.

"You think you can get away by acting all good like this?" she asked. Lisanna just smiled, spooned the fried rice into her mouth. "Maybe you should join Natsu to go on mission. I was so scared when I knew that you came back hurt." She started to cry. "And you didn't even tell me."

"Mira-nee, I told you. I fell in the bathroom. And I got fever because I played in the rain. It had nothing to do with mission. Please let me go on mission alone again," she begged her. She held her sister's hand. "I promise I'll never make you worry or sad again. I promise. I will always come back to you. Always."

"I'll think about it." Lisanna grinned. At least, she was considering it.

For the whole week, Lisanna just stayed at home. Sometimes, her girlfriends came to accompany her. That morning, Levy came. She helped her changed her bandage.

"Lisanna-chan, don't you think you should go on mission with someone. At least you have someone to back you up," Levy suggested.

"Not again. Look, I haven't injured in any mission I take. This injury isn't from mission. I told you. I fell in the bathroom," she explained.

"That's why I suggested you to go with someone. Maybe you should join Natsu. His missions maybe a little dangerous, but he can take care of you," Levy said.

"Natsu again. Why it's always Natsu? Isn't there anybody you want to me go out with, instead of Natsu?" Lisanna snout.

"I thought since you like Natsu, so you'll go on mission with him."

"Who said I like Natsu? We're just friends. Like before." She turned her face away.

"Lisanna-chan, is it because of – Lucy?" Levy asked. She moved to face the white-haired girl.

"Eh, wh-where'd you get the idea?" she denied. She moved again, giving her back to Levy.

"You rarely talk to Natsu since you came back from Edolas. Is it because of Lucy?" Levy moved again. Lisanna sighed.

"No. There's nothing to do with Lucy. You really have time snooping around. I thought you pay your full attention to that iron dragon slayer." Levy shocked.

"What? NO! I – I didn't give him attention. I – I just – don't – I just don't want him feel nobody care about him. I – "

"So, you care about him?" she asked, smiled cynically toward Levy.

"I – He – He is nakama. O – Of course I care." Lisanna giggled.

"Levy-chan. I can't believe you've grown up." She leaned leisurely to the coach.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Levy-chan always reads books. I always wondered what kind of guys she likes. And I never thought he would be someone tough, insensitive, a little meanie, love fights – "

"Lisanna-chan, I told you – " Lisanna cut her off.

"Why him? I heard the not-so-sweet history between the two of you. Don't you think that affect your feeling toward him? I mean, you must be scared when he's around." Levy looked down to her hands. They clenched to each other.

"Because – he's now a nakama. He should be treated like a nakama. Besides, he saved me many times. He saved the guild too. He's not that bad actually." Lisanna touched her chin.

"That's love, honey," she told her. Levy nodded.

"I know. I don't know why. I don't know how. But I can't stop thinking about him." She smiled sadly.

"You told him?" She shook her head.

"He doesn't like me."

"After saving you for a thousand times? After promising you that he'll make you big during the S-class exam?" Lisanna asked.

"He never notices me. Even after everything I tried to get his attention." She looked frustrated.

"Maybe he noticed, but he pretended not to notice." Levy looked into her blue eyes. "Why don't you tell him first?"

"You think so?"

"No. I said you must." They giggled. "If he rejects you, I'll hunt him down. Don't worry about that." Lisanna assured her.

"Thank you, Lisanna-chan. I feel better now. I'll tell him tomorrow. You always help everyone. I'm going to tell Lu-chan first. Bye." Lisanna smiled, waved to her excited, in love friend. She watched the bookworm disappeared from the door.

"Lu-chan, heh? She always gets the credit. What happened if I didn't die two years ago?" She wondered to herself. "I'm losing everyone to Lucy. I think, if Mira-nee and Elf-niichan aren't my siblings, I'll lose them too. Seems, Lisanna is no longer the sunshine of Fairy Tail." She sighed, hard.
