The Sun Always Sets, Even in Paradise
Chapter 10: Are We There Yet?
Ji's POV
My two day break went by fast! No wonder Levy-sensei advised me to enjoy it as much as possible and I did. Well, that is if spending time with Starlight counts. I'm trying really hard to be her best friend since she doesn't have any… Anyway, right now we're carrying a boat. I can see the crystal sand being washed over by the clear teal water.
"Wow, the water looks so cool and clean!" I said awestruck. "I've never seen a beach before. I feel like I missed out on a lot when I was forced to stay at my house." I sighed, slightly disappointed. Then, I can feel Starlight stirring in my backpack. It's about time she woke up. I let go of the boat, took off my backpack and placed it on the sand which made it sink a little. She crawled out in her tiny form and took the time to look around.
"You guys were doing work without me?!" She asked, her brows furrowing in frustration. "I can't accept this! I will row… by myself."
I sweat dropped. "There's no need for that." I stammered. "You're just going to tire yourself out again!"
But Starlight, being the stubborn kitty she is, transformed into her human form and walked to the two ladies with me trailing behind her.
"Are we all set?" She asked as we got closer to them.
"Yup. The best part is the island is straight ahead." The bluenett pointed right in front of her.
I can see it but it look fuzzy and faint, almost like it was transparent.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" I hopped into the boat with my arms crossed, probably giving some wild grin. Lucy-sensei was the second one to get on the boat.
"You know, you really remind me of Natsu." Lucy-sensei says messing up my hair and I pouted.
"You messed up my hair~" I whined.
Levey-sensei was next to enter the boat. She was holding two beautiful boxes.
"I wonder who they're for…" I think to myself but decided not to ask.
Starlight was the last one to get on the boat, pushing it onto the calm sea, and wadding in the water first. She and Lucy-sensei picked up the paddles.
"Straight ahead, correct?" Starlight asks.
Levy-sensei was busy staring at the map but she nodded anyway. And with that, we set off but soon after we started to gain some distance, I had this weird feeling that something was there, watching us. I looked back and saw three flying animals. "Seagulls can be white but can they be blue or black?" I thought to myself.

Third Person
Team Natsu and the others look up as the three exceeds return.
"Did you find them?" Natsu asks his most trusted friend.
"Aye!" The blue exceed did a small salute. "They're traveling by boat to some place."
"Very well then." The red head said, crossing her arms. "We'll just have to travel by boat then."
Two dragon slayers went visibly pale. Then Natsu looked up at Happy. "Can you carry me to where they're at buddy?"
"No way. You're just as heavy as Lucy." The blue cat said, dismissing the idea with a wave of his paw.
"Just suck it up flame brain. We're here to save Lucy and Levy."
"Oh yea popsicle-" Natsu didn't dare finish after he saw the death glare Erza was giving.
"I hope the two of you know the longer we stay here, the farther Lucy and Levy are."
"Yes. Erza-san is correct." Wendy squeaked from behind, holding a map of what appears to be a mountain. "I believe their heading to this mountain but I don't know why?" She says showing them the map.
"Well, what are we waiting for? The tide to wash them back to us?" Gajeel growled impatiently.
"Let's go!" Natsu yelled pointing at to the beach.
"Aye sir!"
