Ana shivered as the tried to light the wood. Fly had raised a platform of earth and rock from the sea floor before then making a little cave that they girls now sat in. They were all dripping wet, and all shivering. Nam sat on a rock, her head hanging.

"I... You... I'm... Uuh." She sighed and put her hand on forehead.

"Aha!" Sparks flew and the fire crackled. Ana reached her hand into the fire and swirled it around, the fire dancing across the walls, swirling through the air. She put her other hand in, then pushed her hands apart. Fire swirled around all of the girls, drying their hair and clothes and warming them.

As soon as she was dry, Nam put out her fire. So did Fly. Namaka put her hands together and when she opened them, four little balls of water flew out. She sent the balls to the others, then sipped from her own. The others copied her, sipping from the water. It was sweet and pure, and tasted beautiful.

"Why did you let us go?" Nam closed her eyes and threw her memories into the minds of the other three.

"Oh. Wow."

"Yes." To ease the tension, Fly walked over to the cave wall. She put her hands on the ground, and a tree grew up. It curved up to the roof, swirling around. Four hammock-beds formed from the branches and vines. Rich red strawberries, bright green, ruby red and golden apples, plump blueberries, shiny blackberries, bright yellow bananas, soft-haired coconuts and more grew from the branches.

"Anyone for a feast?" The girls fell upon the food, then tumbled into the hammocks. Finishing off their water, they each fell into a deep, dream-filled sleep.
