The scene just picks up with the others still in the group hug until they break apart.

Natsu: You've definitely grown up, buddy. (Measures out) Hey, you're almost as tall as me.

Oswald: Then that means I'm not little anymore.

Lucy: It's still hard to believe.

Oswald: So, what happened? Why am I older than yesterday?

Gray: Wait, yesterday?

Oswald: The island. Wasn't all of that yesterday?

Bisca: Honey, listen. The attack on the island, Acnologia, that was 7 years ago.

Oswald takes a second to process it, and it suddenly makes sense how he's so much older than before.

Oswald: Are you serious?! I've been asleep for 7 whole years?!

Alzack: 'Fraid so, buddy. According to Porlyusica, you were lucky to have even survived from whatever kind of battle ya went through.

Oswald: Wait, so how did I even get back here?

Warren: According to Porlyusica, two women and a strange guy who looked a lot like you brought you to her house.

The description makes Oswald's eyes widen as he thinks back to Ultear, Kiryu, and Meredy.

Oswald's Thoughts: Ultear saved me? And Kiryu even came back?

Gildarts: The important thing is that we're all back and we can head home.

Oswald: (nods yes) Right.

Laxus: Hold on. (All look at him) Are we sure this is the right kid? For all we know, he could be an imposter of some kind. So, how do we know you're the real Oswald, ya runt?

Next thing he knew, Oswald straight up lunges at him with the intent to kill.

Oswald: (furious) WHO'RE YOU CALLING A RUNT, YOU JERK?!?!

Laxus doesn't even move from his spot and just easily blocks all the kicks Oswald was sending at him

Laxus: Okay. It's you.

The others just watch with deadpanned expressions.

Lucy: He so did that on purpose.

Thunder Legion: 100%.

Once they got that settled down, everyone heads back to the guildhall where they did a lot of partying to celebrate their return. Each side traded some experiences like how Romeo's been taking magic classes to improve his fire magic, Macao might be labeled as the next guild master for real, Alzack and Bisca were not only married, but they have a daughter (which Erza was angry she missed their wedding), and so much more. Likewise from the island fairies, the others were surprised to hear Gildarts is really Cana's dad and is already acting like the lovey and clingy father to her, which she found annoying.
