Lisanna pulled her blanket up to her chin. She stared blankly to the ceiling. She had been sighed since.
Her life had turned a little up-side-down lately. Came back to life was one thing. Seeing Natsu seeing someone else was another thing. And…him. Why was it always dragon slayer?
Since he sent her back to her house, they hung out together a few times. Of course without the known of Fairy Tail or her siblings. They assumed him as a bad person because he killed his foster parent. She thought that too. But, he wasn't that bad. He was nice actually.
"I noticed that you've been to Hargeon much lately." Cana suddenly approached her.
Lisanna tried to laugh but it was obviously a fake. She corrected her seat. Cana roughly placed her barrel on the counter.
"Are you seeing someone?" she asked. The white-haired girl almost choked.
"What are you talking about? There's no such thing," she defended.
"I understand if you tried to forget Natsu, but it's not right play with hearts." The brunette put her head on the counter. She didn't seem to look good.
"Why I have to forget Natsu? He's my friend. We…"
"Lucy. I know that you're pretty jealous when he pays more attention to Lu…" Lisanna quickly covered her drunken friend's mouth. Her eyes looked around, checked if there was anyone that heard them. At that time, her eyes caught a pair of red eyes watching her. And the iron dragon slayer had no intention to look elsewhere. She tried to act normal. He then said something to the bluenette bookworm, which made the girl, looked at Lisanna.
"This is bad," she whispered to herself.
She pretended nothing had happened and walked to request board. Cana left unconscious on the counter.
"What's wrong?" Levy asked. He turned to the girl and then back to his drink.
"Nothing," he answered.
"She looks good. What's wrong?" she asked again. The dragon slayer snorted.
"Nothing, I told you. They were just talking about something," he said, taking a gulp of his drink.
"Them? How did…? Did you do that all the time?" She closed her book and placed her full attention on him.
"Do what?" he asked her back.
"Eavesdropping on others' conversation?"
"What? No, I don't do such thing!" he almost shouted.
"Did you listen to mine?" she asked. "Did you?" She pulled his shirt.
"No, I'm not. Shut up!" He snatched his shirt off her small fingers. He stood up and walked to the door. The bluenette stood too.
"You think, since you have special hearing, you can listen to other people's conversation? You're the worst!" she shouted.
The whole guild's attention turned to them. Some were whispering to each other. Gajeel's face turned red.
"Why the hell would I listen to your dumb conversation?!" he shouted back, then walked out of the guild.
Levy crossed her arms over her chest.
"Are you afraid that he might know your secrets, Levy-chan?"
Blood ran to her face.
"Mira-san, I'm not afraid of anything. And, I have no secret. Just that, it's not nice to listen to other's conversation, right? Even though you have sensitive hearing." She stuttered.
Deep in her heart, she did afraid that he might hear everything she told Lucy. Silently, she sighed.

She groped in her beg, searched for the request paper she took from the board. As she found it, she quickly confirmed the address, because she already stood in front of the building.
A woman appeared from inside the building a few minutes after she knocked the door.
"Hello. I am Lisanna from Fairy Tail. I come for the request," she introduced herself. The old woman smiled.
"Come in," she invited her in.
Her house was neat and tidy. She had a few shelves of books.
Wow, Levy-chan will love this woman.
"Come, sit here."
The woman offered her a chair at her dining table. There were other people at the dining table.
Oh…
"Regarding the request, these young men had completed it."
Lisanna stared at the twin dragon slayers with their cats on the table. Rouge looked back at her, but Sting focused on his eating.
"That's good," she said to the woman. "Two is better than one. They must have completed it fast," she added.
"Indeed." The woman agreed. "They came yesterday to start and they finished it this morning."
"Well, I'll tell Fairy Tail that the job done." The white-haired mage stood up.
"Since you are here, would you like to see their job?"
Sting almost choked. Rouge quickly handed him a glass of water. The women smiled.
"Sure."
The woman led her to her backyard. Lisanna peeked at the request paper, then she grinned. As the woman opened the door to the backyard, she gaped.
"They did this?" she asked, disbelieved.
Before her, it was like spring in summer. Flowers bloomed and bees were all over the place. There was a huge tree at one side of the yard, towering a set of tea table. Lisanna took off her shoes and carefully stepped on the green grass. It felt fresh and …
"It's … so…" She covered her mouth.
"What's wrong?" The twin dragon slayers appeared next to the woman. The take-over mage turned to them.
"No. It's just… you know, when you're overwhelmed with feelings, no word can express it." Her glassy eyes stared into the pair of blue orbs. "It's very beautiful." She laughed and looked around again. Slowly, she wiped her almost-falling tears with her backhand. Her feet rubbed against the soft grass. Her cheeks were tinted with light pink. She walked around the beautiful backyard, and stopped under the tree.
"Beautiful," the woman said, received a nod from the white dragon slayer. "Isn't she?"
Sting quickly turned his face away, but he started to peek on the singing girl in the middle of the yard. She walked, danced gracefully on the grass. Sometimes she disturbed the bees collecting nectars, and then she giggled merrily.
"It's quite a nice morning, isn't it?" Lisanna stopped and looked at the smiling woman. She quickly nodded vigorously.
"A cup of tea would be nice to celebrate a nice morning," said the woman, pouring a warm, and green tea into a white cup.
"Thank you." She took a sip of it. "It's unbelievable that THEY made this. I don't know if I can make as good as this. It's…" She had no word to compare with the beauty of the garden.
"Beautiful?" asked the woman.
Lisanna raised her shoulder. She stared at the twin and invited them to join the party. They came but to excuse.
"Already?" the woman asked. "I rarely have visitors, so when I have one I didn't notice it's time to part."
The twin didn't say much just that they could return to their guild early and report the completed mission.
"I don't know if Natsu can do something like this. He only knows to break things."
Sting suddenly stopped but then he continued to walk. His three companions a little startled but they kept it silence.
"Auntie, is this rainbow sakura?" She looked up to the tree, followed by the woman.
"It is," the woman replied.
"Wow, great! You're managed to grow this tree outside Magnolia." The woman chuckled.
"I'm not. Actually, the boys brought it here."
"The boys? This tree? All the way from Magnolia?!" She certainly couldn't believe it.
"It was Mr. Eucliff idea to plant the tree. I don't know how they did it, they are mages after all," she explained.
Lisanna nodded. Yeah, they were powerful mages after all. She remembered a story revolving rainbow sakura during her absence.
