Lucy's POV

A loud clanging sound echoed throughout the station causing me to flinch. Erza's sword was on the floor and the whole lot of them widened their eyes in shock. I stood there like a confused deer as I watched the silence hang amongst them.

"Guys what's wro—"

I was interrupted by Erza's trembling voice, "Li-Lisanna?"

"Li-Li-Lisanna? Is that you?" Natsu continued.

"It can't be..." Gray muttered as his jaw hung agape.

Lisanna? I swear I've heard that name somewhere before...

As I was lost in my own thoughts, Lisanna took a step forward towards us with a smile as a small tear rolled down her cheek, "I'm sorry I took so long."

Without further ado, all of them rushed towards her for a group hug, "Lisanna!"

I took timid steps towards them as I watched Natsu and the team crowding around her tightly, as if they were afraid that she would disappear again.

Just where did I hear that na—

The answer flashed through my mind immediately.

Oh! Lisanna Strauss! How could I forget? She's Mirajane's and Elfman's little sister!

Hold up.

L-Let's set this straight. I don't want to sound rude but, isn't she dead?

I gasped.

T-T-This can only mean...

I looked at Lisanna as my heart started to beat at an abnormal rate.

O-O-Okay, for starters, she is completely opaque.

As I tried to calm my racing heart, the concern calls of Erza, Gray, Natsu and Happy brought me back to reality.

"Where have you been all this while?"

"I'm not dreaming am I? I'm so glad to see you!"

"Mirajane and Elfman would be so happy!"

As I witnessed their reunion from a careful distance, I can't help but feel a tinge of sadness of being left out. I stood at the back awkwardly as I waited for them to notice me.

"Lisanna, weren't you dead?" Gray asked uneasily.

"No, before I got sucked into Anima, I managed to use Take-Over to escape. I fell into a forest and a man living there took care of me in his cottage." Lisanna continued, "I know I should've came back sooner but I had some matters to take care of. I'm sorry for worrying all of you." Lisanna replied with a sad smile.

Natsu gave Lisanna a quick hug and smiled brightly, "That's okay. The only thing that matters now is that you're back."

Lisanna blushed at Natsu's gesture before giving him another smile. My heart squeezed slightly at the sight of that and I quickly cast my gaze away. Just as I was about to drown myself with delusions that I hope to never happen, Lisanna asked "Who's that?"
