A Goddess' Path

Sister's Quarell

Alias' POV

I woke up the next morning. I was on the floor in the guildhall along with everyone else. I had a splitting headache. I looked around and saw a load of broken beer bottles on a table nearby. Oh, that's right, I thought as I sweatdropped. I challenged Cana to a drinking contest... hehe... 

I got up and started looking around for Lilac. When I found her, I had to do my best not to burst out laughing.

My sister was sitting at a table on the other side of the guildhall. Sleeping. But she not only fell asleep while sitting, but she was using the ice princess as a pillow. I used my mini vision lacrima to take a photo of her sleeping on his shoulder, then I started a video. 

"hehehe..." I said deviously. I set the lacrima up and went over to where gray was. On my way to his side of the table, I accidentally stepped on the tiny blue cat we met earlier. "OW-" he started, but I slapped my hand over his face. "Are you gonna be quiet?" I asked the cat. He nodded his head up and down quickly. I removed my hand.

"So what's the big idea?" he whisper-yelled. I smirked then pointed over to the ice princess and Lilac. Happy was doing his best to contain his laughter. He then flew over to me and whispered in my ear. "The loooove~ each other!" With that, I gave out a soft snicker. "Watch this!" I whispered to Happy. Then, I went over to the stripper and poked his cheek. With that, he flinched, not opening his eyes, and started to scooch closer to Lilac.

Happy and I giggled. Happy then turned to me. "Now, you watch this!" he said with an evil grin. He then flew over to a girl sleeping on the ground with blue hair. I watched her wake her up and point to my sister and the stripper. Her eyes widened.

Almost immediately, she ran up to the two of them and screamed. "LOVE RIVAL!!!" Everyone in the guild nearly jumped out of their skins, especially the two lovebirds.

Happy and I just burst out laughing. Once Lilac and the boy realized the position they were in, they separated, blushing madly. This only made Happy and I laugh even harder. 

I then stopped the lacrima and showed it to Happy. We continuously laughed as the blue-haired girl yelled 'love rival' over and over again, rambling on about her 'beloved gray.'

Everyone else in the guild was now joining in on the laughter, and then the Natsu boy started to tease the stripper. As they fought, Lilac marched up to me, all angry. "Hey! What's up?" I said joyfully. She just punched me in the gut.

Lilac's POV

I don't know what happened. I just remember falling asleep at the guild, then waking up next to Gray with a blue-haired girl yelling in my face. 

What even happened? I thought. But then, I saw Happy and Alias laughing like mad people a little while away. I knew they had something to do with this.

After I escaped the blue-haired girl, I walked over to Alias. She had stopped laughing but was still grinning. "Hey! What's up?" she said all happy-like. I didn't care. I just punched her in the gut. "Hey! What was that for?" she yelled at me. "That one's for embarrassing me in front of the guild. And this," I said and kicked her in the stomach, " is for dragging Gray into it!" With that, she grinned.

"It's been awhile since I've done sparring. Want to take this outside?" she said, smiling. I nodded and grinned as well. The guild followed us outside. As we got into a fighting stance, the guild formed a circle around us. 

"You know the rules! No magic in a sparring match!" Alias yelled over to me. "I got it! I got it! Now, let's get started!" I responded. "I'm not very patient!"

With that, Alias smiled. Within a split second, she covered the ground between us, lowering and kicking me off my feet. 

I slipped to the ground, catching myself with my hands. I shot back up, sending my fist towards her head. Alias blocked with perfect timing. However, she was distracted by the guild members cheering her on.

Perfect, I thought to myself. I bent down and shot my foot out, hooking her ankle. I kicked out and she lost her balance. I got up and shot two punches at her and landed a kick to her face.

She fell and looked back at me, her nose bleeding. She grinned. "Now this is a fight!" she got back up. 

We threw everything we had at each other. By the time we had finished, it was a draw. We had broken bones and open cuts. The people of the guild were about to run up to us and try to help us out, but instead, we started to cast a spell on each other. Together, we chanted.

"Goddess of healing, lend us your power, Healer's Pride!"

With that, our wounds started to heal in an instant. The guild just looked on in shock. After all our wounds completed healing, we walked up and gave each other a high five. 

"Now that was fun! We should do it again sometime!" said Alias. "Yeah! I miss those sparring sessions with you! Sure does bring back memories!" I replied still grinning. 

As we made our way back to the guild hall, the guild just stared, dumbfounded.

Heh, idiots, I thought making my way back to the bar. I remembered back home, the Angelic Realm, and all the times Alias and I trained together. How we enjoyed the mini battles! Morael would always make a tiny competition chart so that we could make it into a game.

Good times...

Alias and I laughed with each other over our strawberry smoothies.

Even if we get into fights sometimes, Alias is still my sister and my best friend.

And nothing can ever change that...
