*Fakhouri grumbles as she continues working on the mess in her studio.*

Fakhouri: "I swear next time I have writers block...I'm hiring a maid..."

*Cameraman coughs. Fakhouri blinks before turning to the Camera*

Fakhouri: "What?"

Cameraman: "New story.."

Fakhouri: "Oh...right.."

*She stands up and walks over to the somehow cleaned off desk. She sits and a cloud of dust comes from the cushions of the chair.

Fakhouri: *Coughing* "Damnit...Anyways...Welcome to my second story but my first Fairy Tail fanfic so..forgive me now for my less than stellar telling of it. I got the idea while trying to write my other story and now its bugged me so much that I decided to go with it..."

*She leans on the desk resting her elbows.*

Fakhouri: "You will also notice that this isn't an original idea. So forgive me also for any cliches I play on...Anyways its time to get this show on the road so first up the disclaimer!"

*She pushes a button on her desk and a plume of smoke appears in the middle of the room.*

?: "What the hell!? Where the hell am I?"

Fakhouri: "Natsu Dragneel!"

Natsu: 'Who the hell are you!?"

Fakhouri: "FakhouriLegacy at your service.."

Natsu: "...And what am I doing here..."

Fakhouri: "Say a disclaimer."

Natsu: "..Oook..This crazy chick doesn't own Fairy Tail..."

Fakhouri: "Enjoy the story..."


*Magnolia - Southern Gate Park - X782*

"Oh come on just one more!"

"No, Happy. If I gave you anymore, Lisanna won't have any.."

The blue cat frowned before sighing, "Fine..." He leans back against the tree while a salmon haired teen munched on his sandwich with another on his lap. Happy glanced at the teen with curious eyes, "So why are we meeting Lisanna here and not at the guild, Natsu?"

Natsu swallowed and smirked, "Because it's been awhile since we all had some time together without a guild brawl happening."

"And?"

"And what?"

Happy looked at him with a slightly raised brow, "There has to be more than that, Natsu."

Natsu chuckled slightly, "What if I said there isn't another reason?"

"I'd call bullshit."

Natsu sighed before reaching into his vest inside pocket and pullout out a folded piece of paper. He handed it to Happy, "I was going to ask her if she wanted to go on a job with us."

Happy blinked before taking the paper and unfolding it. After reading it he said in a questioning tone, "Us and the Takeover Team? That's a little overkill for a simple beast extermination job..."

Natsu sat up as he spotted a spot of white hair coming down the farthest path to the park, "No. Just us and Lisanna. Plus if you want over kill, get Mira and Erza to do it..."

Happy nodded as he folded it back up and handed it to Natsu, "Aye...That would do it..."

Natsu smirked as he tucked the job request in his vest when he say a figure jogging up to them, "Natsu! Happy!". He waved at the figure as it came closer and it became more clear that it was in fact Lisanna, "About time, Lisanna. I was about to give this sandwich to Happy." He quickly clamps a hand over Happy's mouth, who was about to retort.

She smiles softly, "Yeah..Sorry Natsu. Mira stopped me on the way out of the guild" Natsu tossed the sandwich to Lisanna, who caught it.

"Oh really what about?"

Lisanna took a bite of the sandwich, a small twinkle in her eye, "She just asked Elfman and me if we wanted to accompany her on an S class mission!" She continued eating her sandwich, not noticing Natsu tensing up slightly.

Happy, however, did and frowned slightly. Natsu forced a convincing smile on his face, "Really!? That's great!" Lisanna smiled as she finished her sandwich. Natsu stood up, prompting Happy to start using his wings, "So when do you leave?"

"Right now."

Natsu and Lisanna turned to face the newcomer . Natsu sighed mentally as he noticed it was Mirajane and Elfman. Mirajane was smirking with her hands on her hips. SHe was wearing a revealing purple top and skin tight black short shorts. Her white hair done up into a ponytail. Elfman stood behind her at least a head taller than her smirking also.

"Really Mira?!"

Mira nodded, "Yep."

Lisanna sighed before smiling, "Alright Mira.."

Natsu forced another smile onto his face, "Man I wish I was going...Hey! Is there any way I could tag along?!"

Mira scoffed, "Sorry shit for brains but I don't think so."

Natsu winced at the insult, "Oh..."

"But we'll be back soon so you'll get to spent time with your girlfriend soon enough."

Mira laughed as both of the teens turned beet red.

"S-s-is!"

"I-uh-eh!

Elfman sighed as Mira continued to laugh, "Great...You broke them..." He grabbed the back of both of his sisters collars and started dragging them to the train station, "See ya around Natsu!"

Lisanna had steam coming out of her ears while Natsu finally snapped out of it and smiled, "Good luck, ya bastard!"

He waved at the shrinking figures until they were out of sight. He then sighed...

"You're really just going to let it go at that?"

Natsu nodded, "Yeah..Anyways lets go get ready. We have a long walk ahead of us."

"Not going to take the train, eh?"

Natsu glared at him, "The death machine shall not be mentioned..."

Happy just chuckled as he floated with along with Natsu to his home.

*Three days later - Magnolia - Fairy Tail Guild Hall - Outside*

Natsu smirked as he walked up to the guild hall with Happy, "That was a easy one! I swear the request made it sound quite a bit harder!"

"Aye!"

He pushed the door open, "Hey guys I'm...Home..."

The sight before him was not the jovial and brass guild hall... Everyone was crying and the mood was somber. As he looked around he spotted Mira with her arm in a cast and Elfman with his head down. But he failed to see Lisanna, "..Mira..."

Mira looked at Natsu and he was shocked...For she was crying, 'But Mira never cries!'

"Natsu..."

"Where's Lisanna?"

He noticed a few members tense and sobbed quietly out of his peripheral vision. Mira was barely able to answer his question, "She's..She's.."

Natsu's eyes widened as Mira finished.

"She's dead.."

Natsu's blood ran cold, "Lisanna's.."

His mind flashed to the smiling face of his best friend.

"..Dead?"


Fakhouri: "And there is the first chapter. For now I'm making subtle changes but believe me when we get to the main story that is where the divergence with be more...noticable. This is just a decent starting popint in my opinion."

Fakhouri: "Anywho If you want someone to do the disclaimer send a PM or in a review! So review, follow, and NO FLAMES! Until next time.."

JA NE!
