Normal POV (To Tenroujima)
Natsu was throwing his guts up on the boat to Tenrou island as the others were melting on the deck. They were on their way to Tenrou Island, their guilds holy ground, it was mid-summer but they'd never experienced heat quite like this.
"Why's it have to be so hoooooot" Cana moaned.
"Quite moaning brats, you can cool off by swimming to the island, once ashore you'll go through one passage. Once in the passage, you will fight someone who is already S-class, minus Laxus," Master yelled, Juvia was, of course, the first ashore... little did they know that the next day they'd go missing for the next 7 years.

Lucy's POV
As I read the sorcerer weekly magazine I cried, I told them not to die until I got back. I am going to kill Acnologia if it's the last thing I do. He took away my friends, my family and the one I love. He will pay.
After a few days, I had already moved my sadness into anger and thirst for revenge. I think I worried Sting a little because in training I would always collapse after training all day. I think the dragons worried but it was Sting who confronted me.
"Stop pushing yourself so much!" He yelled at me as I'd gotten up on a day I was supposed to be resting, I could feel the anger and sadness well up inside of me, didn't he understand? I can't stop, I have to beat Acnologia as soon as possible.
"NO! I am going to do this as soon as possible because that damn dragon killed my friends and family! I can't take it easy and stop I refuse to stop until I can defeat that bastard and make sure he cant move." I screamed at him. We argued for hours on end until we had enough of screaming at each other and decided to end it with our fists and magic instead of words. I was held back by Igneel and Grandeeney while Rogue and Weisslogia held Sting.
"Lucy, try to stay calm, Sting is just worried about you that's all, We all are," Grandeeney said in her softest voice, I stopped struggling to attack Sting and burst out crying, why? why can't I be strong enough, why do I have to trouble everyone around me! It's not fair!
"I know but-but I have to learn quickly to avenge my friends a-and Natsu, I can't just, I can't not train, I have to... I have to kill him, It's his fault." I bawled, I turned around and hugged her tightly,
"I know, I know sweetheart, we all hate that damned dragon, he deceived us and killed a lot of us, he's a terrible being, but that doesn't mean you need to kill yourself training to kill him, dear, come, you need to rest or you won't be killing anything," Grandeeney said softly as she stroked my hair to calm me, Sting had been dragged out by the two boys.
"Natsu.. why'd you have to go and die," I sobbed before falling into a deep sleep, I'm sure my small 10-year-old body couldn't handle all the complex motions that were whirling around in my brain.
~Time skip 7 years later~
I had finally mastered all the dragon slaying magic, and I'm going back to my guild today. Their reputation has plummeted ever since that damn dragon killed my best friends.
I am currently stood outside of the doors, they're still happy, they're cheering and being their rowdy selves, it looked exactly as it did when I left, their going to get a huge shock when I walk in, I mean every since Loke was on Tenrou he's not come back to the spirit world which is worse as he was the only one I could get to come see everyone. I put my hand on the guilds door and pushed it open, everything inside stopped as I stood in the doorway, Well, this is uncomfortable.
"Hello everyone, I'm finally home," I said tearing up a little, everyone was silent.
Then all of a sudden I was being suffocated in hugs and people shouting "Lucy! We missed you so much, thank god you're back safely" then when we all walked further in the guild the doors crashed open and another guild started to abuse the guild, my eyes widened in shock, how could thye allow this to happen? How dare they abuse my family just as I was about to show everyone what I learnt while I was gone when Natsu, Erza, Laxus, Master, Gray, Wendy, Levy, Gajeel, and the others walked in through the door and kicked their butts, I stood there in shock. How?
"LUSHY!" Happy came flying towards me and hugged me tightly.
"Hello, Happy I'm home," I said stroking the cat with a contempt smile tears brimming in my eyes,
The group who had just burst stood there in awe as I stood hugging the cat gently, just like evryone was in awe that they were back.
"L-Luce," Natsu said under his breath, only dragon slayers could hear it. Happy let go and I ran to Natsu with tears in my eyes, I embraced him tightly as I got to him.
"NATSU! Where the hell have you been?! I thought you died on Tenrou island seven years ago, You idiot! I told you to be careful! I told you not to die!" I said crying into his chest instead of responding he hugged me tightly.
"I'm sorry Luce" He whispered into my ear, tears flooded down my face as I hugged him tightly.
"They're in LOOOOOOVE," Happy said flying around the room.
"Shut it you stupid cat!" I mumbled in a joking manner tear still flowing down my face,
Natsu's POV
When I saw Luce's face again, I couldn't tell you what I felt, I was so happy I nearly cried... Nearly cried, she looked so happy and relieved to see us, and when she hugged me so tightly in her arms, her sweet smell was the first thing that hit me, I was so happy she was safe and sound.
"Alright, calm down now, get all the lovey-dovey stuff done later sis," Sting grumbled as he came up behind us and separated us, Lucy pouted but Sting looked really grown up, it was then that he started to tease her, she got mad... and hit him with light slayer magic, wait isn't that the magic he uses?
"Oh right, Natsu... I want to introduce you, Wendy and Gajeel to some people I met along the way, c'mon. They're waiting for us!" Lucy said excitedly as she grabbed my wrist tugging me out the guild.
Wendy and Gajeel followed behind, we went through the forest into a clearing, and stood there where Four dragons stood proudly, I recognized Igneel instantly, Wendy cried and ran to a white dragon and Gajeel walked slowly towards the black dragon giving it an awkward hug hiding his face, I assume he is crying, then Luce rushed over to the golden dragon.
"Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, this is Mystique, she is one of the dragons that trained me, Igneel and Grandeeney also taught me but they were my Parents as well since I was turned back to a 10 year old. Metalicana just trained me.. against his will obviously. Gajeel and him are so alike it's actually quite terrifying," Lucy said with a roll of her eyes, I couldn't restrain myself any longer I just had to let her know.
I ran up to Luce and hugged her tightly and then I did something completely unexpected, Gajeel widened his bloodshot eyes and Grandeeney covered Wendy's eyes with her wing and that's when others from the guild began showing up and whistling, perfect timing guys... just freaking perfect...
