These 'couple of days off' didn't last for long though. The girls were at the beach the day after the party. They were supposed to leave the next day. They were just sitting in chairs enjoying the warmth from the sun. Or Aki did until a girl with long dripping hair leaned over her.
"Aren't you gonna swim with me sis?" Aya asked.
"Not now. I was almost asleep" Aki mumbled.
"You shouldn't get burned." Aya mumbled and turned back to the crystal blue sea.
"Yes mom" Aki teased causing Aya to turn around as her hair dripped more water on Aki.
"Hey no fair!" Aki laughed and got up starting to chase Aya around to get her revenge. Aya laughed too and ran as fast as her legs would allow it.
That's when she fell over a stone and hit the sand. Aki jumped on her still laughing and putting sand on her body.
"Aki!" Aya yelled. "You know I hate having sand on my body!"
"And I hate getting wet when I'm trying to sleep" Aki shot back still putting sand on Aya's body. By accident she grabbed something soft and blue and tried to put it on Aya but it refused.
"Do I look like sand?" Happy asked.
Aki who was lost at first suddenly understood what had happened and laughed. "Yes you do"
"It's not funny" the cat sat on Aya's stomach and started pouting. "I am actually here to warn you" he said looking from one to the other.
"About what?" Aya gently sat Happy on the sand before she sat up herself.
"There is this blanket. It is flying from town to town and throws lightning everywhere until everything is destroyed." Happy explained. "Natsu and the others tried to fight it but it hit Erza and Gray tried to make Natsu hold it still but it is moving and he gets sick by that as you may know"
"Weakling" Aki looked up at the sky.
"Matter is that it's coming this way and since neither of them could keep up with the blanket and we knew you girls were here Erza came up with the idea that you could take care of it" Happy finished sending them a smile. "You sure can do that!" he said, it really sound like he believed in them.
"If you say we can then of course we can!" Aki yelled jumping up and requipping into her usual clothes. Aya did the same just after.
"When will it be here?" she asked.
"In a few hours if you run north then you'll find it" Happy told them.
"Are you gonna follow us?" Aya asked.
"Aye. From a safe distance" Happy replied happily.
"You'll do better there" Aki said and the girls started running north to face the blanket with Happy right above their heads, leading the way.
