Summary: Natsu replaces Lucy with Lisanna. Lucy, Juvia, and Lisanna leave the guild to become stronger. However, the world they then enter has a time of a day there to 30 seconds in Earthland. Just how different will they be when they come back?

I sat on my bed, the curtains over the window, casting a pink light into the room. I put my hands over my face to catch the tears that cascaded down my cheeks.

Flashback

I walked into the guild and sat down. Since Lisanna came bac, everyone had ignored me except Wendy, Levy, Mira, Gajeel, Mavis, Elfman, Juvia, Cana, Master, the exceeds, and Lisanna herself. I had ordered a strawberry smoothie from Mira and had sat down. Natsu, with Erza and Gray behind him, had come over.

"Hey! Lucy!" I ignored them.

"Look at me when I talk to you, scum!"

"We're replacing you. With Lisanna."

"She's stronger than you," Natsu said. "And I love her."

"Like heck would I join you," Lisanna yelled. She slapped him across the check. "After that? I would be ashamed. What did I see in you? Come on, Lucy."

"Juvia will come with," Juvia said. I looked at Levy. She pointed to Gajeel. I winked and showed her my crossed fingers. Lisanna dragged me into Master's office. When we came in, I could tell Master knew what we wanted. He took our guild marks off. "Write letters, my child." I nodded.

End of Flashback

I'm over it now, I think. I grabbed my keys and summoned Capricorn and Virgo. "Virgo, please store these in the Spirit world."

"Punishment time, Hime?" she deadpanned.

"No, Virgo." She disappeared. "Capricorn, please escort Juvia and Lisanna to the mansion."

"Yes, princess." He disappeared. We had picked the mansion because it had a spell cast on it that said it could never be destroyed. Perfect for training.

Time skip

When we got there, I showed them each one of the many guest rooms, but they wanted to stay in mine. I obliged, and we moved a bed inside. I called Virgo, who gave us all our stuff, including my old bed. We sighed happily, and one by one, fell asleep.

In the morning

We work up to the sound of crashing pans in the kitchen. Who WAS that? All of my spirits were still here… it couldn't be Natsu or another dragonslayer cause we changed our scents, and they didn't know where the mansion was… we quietly snuck into the kitchen, preparing to fight. A man with pink hair, a man with black hair, and a woman with blue-white hair turned around.

"So, you're awake, Hime," said the woman. "I'm Grandine, and this is Igneel and Metalinca. We're here to take you to Dragon Heaven. That's the world we're normally at. Your mom was the dragon queen, so come and train with us. A day there is 5 seconds here. So, a year there is about 30 minutes here. And you won't age!"

"We're coming!" We shouted at the same time..

"Get ready for the time of your lives!"
