Natsu watches the waves smashing against the rocks in the distance and reflects on how everything has changed for him and everyone he cares about. He recalls how, against their will, all the girls were transformed into dragons and forced to acclimate to their new bodies and lifestyles. He reflects on how he has changed as a result of all of his fights, and he appreciates all of the individuals he has met who have taught him new things and from whom he has learned. He thinks back on everything they've done up to this point and feels like, no matter how crazy things have become, he wouldn't alter a thing because he cherished each experience in its own way.

Lucy: *Landing gently in front of Natsu, she cups his face between her palms before kneeling down to look him in the eyes.* What are you thinking about, my love? You appear to be deep in thought; is everything all right?

Natsu: *He softly rests his hands on hers, lifts his head, and stares into her lovely chocolate-brown eyes, with a genuine smile on his face.* Yeah, everything is OK; I was just reflecting on all that has happened and everything we have seen and learned on our journey thus far. I just felt like we'd changed a lot since we left Magnolia and began our journey around the world.

Lucy: *takes her hands away and she sits down between his legs, wrapping his arms around her slimy waist.* It's amusing that you are the one who is thinking about the past in this manner. I was also thinking about how we've changed while we've been traveling; all the people we've met and all the things we've done are things I would never have gotten to do if I hadn't been a dragon and ventured out into the world. I definitely feel like the old me would be confused by the current me, but I feel like I had to change in order to grow, so I don't regret anything in my past. In a way, I'm grateful that all of these things happened because, without them, I might not have met all of the wonderful individuals we encountered on our travels, not to mention that our children would have suffered a terrible fate if we hadn't started our travels. I suppose everything up to this point had a purpose, all the encounters, fights, and experiences we had all helped us grow and become better versions of ourselves, Therefore I'm very grateful for becoming a dragon and for the fact that you have been with me through it all.

Lucia: Don't forget about us; we've been with you since the beginning.

Ashly: That's right. Give us some credit because we've been with you as long as Natsu.

Maya, Yuky, Ray, and Tia: *They all hug Natsu firmly while wearing cute little spider silk kimonos with different floral patterns on them.*

Natsu: *With a wide smile, he utilizes his dragon tail and wings to hug everyone.*

After they had finished hugging, the entire Dragneel family left the island and headed into the unknown to discover what new adventure awaited them. They travel over the ocean and find themselves in a completely new kingdom. The buildings are unlike anything they have seen before, and they are even more surprised by how large and developed the city is despite being in the middle of a desert.
