"Are you SURE this is a good idea?" Blaze asked nervously.
"Yes, perfectly sure, she'll never know it was us." Blister whispered back. "Now get down, I can see her"
Blaze sighed, and obligingly ducked lower into the small pit they had dug. She wondered how in Pyrrhia she had let Blister talk her into doing this, it was never a good idea to mess with Burn. She sighed again. She had better get at least three new bracelets for doing this.
"She's coming in to land!" Blister whisper-yelled giddily. "Move the thingy a little more!"
Blaze wiggled the decoy-on-a-stick around on the rock. They heard a loud thumping as Burn landed. Blaze really hoped she wouldn't see the strings leading to their hiding place. Or the stick the fake lizard was attached to.
They heard Burn gasp.
"Is that-?!" Blaze could see Blister trying not to laugh.
"It is! Yes! I knew I'd find one!" This time it was Blaze's turn to stifle her giggles. Burn was obviously very gullible!
"Move it away! She's going to stab it!" Blister hissed quietly, snatched the controls away from her. Grinning malovently, she moved the decoy away from Burn's talons. As Burn reached out to snatch it again, Blister again deftly sent it sliding away from her. Burn swore angrily, and Blaze covered her snout. Where did she learn such naughty language? Blister continued the cat-and-mouse (or dragon-and-lizard) game until the bait was lightly perched on top of the booby-trapped area.
"Get ready to make a run for it" Blister whispered out of the corner of her mouth, as Burn lifted up her talon for one final strike. Blaze crouched, wings almost open, so she could fly away as fast as possible.
With a WHUMP, Burn smashed her talon down on the decoy, triggering a rumble in the ground beneath, as a huge explosion of water slammed into her entire body, and everywhere nearby. Even Blister and Blaze got a sprinkling from their hiding place, splashing of of Blister's diamond patterned scales as she cackled hysterically. Blaze began to laugh to, but just as the back of Burn's head started turning around, Blister made a break for it, dashing across the sky, a pale yellow streak. Blaze leaped after her with a surprised yelp, and flapped as hard as she could, leaving Burn an outraged dot in the distance.
Blaze caught up with Blister, who had turned around in the air, probably to analyze the situation. Both the sisters were grinning like maniacs, and Blaze's rib cage hurt from laughter. She nudged Blister's wing with her own, still giggling. Then Blaze realized there was still danger.
"Blister, what are we going to tell her?" she asked solemnly.
"No problem, we'll blame the boys." Blister replied, smirking.
"But they'll deny it!"
"But SHE won't BELIEVE them." Blister laughed, and spiraled in the cloudy blue sky.
Blaze laughed again. She was right. Blister always had the answers.
"So, now we can go jewelry shopping, right?" she said hopefully. Blister smiled, and put her wing over Blaze.
"Sure we can, little lizard." She grinned, using their mother's nickname for Blaze. But Blaze didn't mind. Even though she sometimes got a little, (or a LOT) angry at Blister, she was her sister, and nothing could change that.
