The beach is bustling with energy, as the rest of the guild has also come along for the day. You can hear laughter and cheering from further down the shore, where Natsu and Gray are engaged in a heated volleyball match, much to the amusement of Erza, who's sitting on a towel, enjoying her snacks while keeping score. Wendy and Carla are building a smaller sandcastle nearby, with Happy flying around, occasionally offering his "expert advice."

Lucy chuckles as she watches the antics of the guild.* "They never take a break, do they?" she says with a fond smile.
