Well, the "better day" the gang had shared only lasted a day. The next morning when each woke up, it was storming. Sapph sat up and looked at the time, 10:03. She jumped out of bed, "Why didn't my alarm go off!!!" She looked at the calendar, Saturday, "Oh." She sat down on the bed, not knowing what to do. Her phone rang, "Hello?" She heard silence, then Jake's voice, "Sapph, listen to me. We need to talk." Sapph sighed, "Jake, you made your choice, there's NOTHING to say." She hung up. She was sad, a horrible way to start a brand new, stormy day.
Sapph sat down in her closet and hugged her knees. When Sapph wanted to be alone, her closet was the place to go, she had a lock, and all her books were in there. She never cried, she never let herself. She watched as a tear fell to her legs. She wiped her face, "No. Don't cry, not over him." She sat up and took a deep breath. "I'll..... Sit here....." Sapph hated just sitting around, normally, but sometimes it felt good. She got up and got dressed she got her phone and called Bloom. Sometimes all she needed was to talk to her best friends. "Hey, what's up!?" Sapph smiled, instantly happy. Bloom and her laughed and talked, until Bloom said she was going shopping with her sister. Sapph went into the kitchen, again, nothing to do.
Later that day, as always on Saturday, Sapph went to the park to meet the rest of the gang. She saw Justice and Chase. "Hey Sapph!" They both said. Sapph smiled and waved, "Where's Bloom? Oh wait... She told me to tell you guys she couldn't come.... She's spending the day with her sister." They had fun as always. Usually, when Bloom was there, they'd go somewhere together, but today, for once, they played together. "This is weird..." Chase laughed. Justice grinned evily, "Hey, Sapph? Bet'ya anything you can't run to the stop of the hill and roll down it 5 times without collapsing!" Sapph looked up at the huge hill, which appeared more as a mountain. She grinned, "Your on!" She actually managed to do it, then she collapsed into his arms. "Oh my gosh! You did it!" Justice cheered. They all laughed.
After all the excitement ended, Sapph went home. It was just a boring Saturday, but yet, it was her job to report to Hales everyday about Garto. "Major Hales, the news is not much, but, I did get a lead on where he is. I found a trace in the Grand Canyons. That, to me, is the perfect place to hide. Shall we check it out?" "No. I told you last time too, no." Sapph sighed, "I can handle it! Dude, listen to me, I am strong. I have 10 years of gymnastics, I can handle a gun of any type, I can shoot a bow and arrow, I can-" "Sapphire! You don't understand! I don't underestimate you, YOU underestimate Garto." Sapph rolled her eyes, "Yeah, whatever." She disconnected the call. She went out of her closet and grabbed her bag. "I can too handle myself." She mumbled to herself. She packed a rope, a gun, bullets, a few blankets, some food and water, and some other necessary needs. "I'll show them." She left with that.
Bloom, Chase and Justice met the next day at the cafe. "Where's Sapph?" Bloom shrugged, "I haven't heard from her...., so since she's not here. Any new ideas for her birthday party?" Justice nodded, "I think we should get a sapphire blue cake with lime green icing. I already got a good one picked out. Here's a picture, I asked them to hold it for me." He showed them his phone, "Or we could do lime green with blue icing...." Chase suggested showing his phone. Bloom bit her lip, "As party coordinator, I think Chase's is better, but! Remember, I chose Justice's decorating ideas, so we're good." "Where is she!?" Justice and Chase said at the same time. Everyone laughed, "It's like her to be a little late, but it's already been thirty minutes!" Bloom sighed, "Let's go look for her."
At Sapph's house, Bloom knocked on the door. "Hi, um.... Is Sapph here?" "No... I thought she was with you?" Bloom ran back to the street where the guys were. "She's not there... We would've seen her on the way here...." Bloom answered her phone, "Hello? What!? She wouldn't.... Actually... She probably would.... Um, yes, where!? How do we, or she, get THERE!? That's like.... way far!" Bloom sighed, "Yes sir, we will. Thank you. You can count on us! Yes, bye!" Bloom hung up. "Sapph has went to the grand canyon, disobeying Mr. Hales, and set to KILL GARTO!!!!! We need to go the airport and look for her, and under NO circumstances are we to go the grand canyons." Justice and Chase nodded. Getting into Chase's repaired car, they drove off.
At the airport Justice noticed that homeless man from the bar. "Um, sir?" Justice said. The man turned, "Why hello!" Justice smiled, "Remember the blonde girl that was with us? Well, have you seen her come by here?" The man shook his head, "No, sorry... If I do, I will call you. What's your number?" Justice gave him a paper, "Thank you!" They ran off and went into the luggage disposal area. They looked around, but she wasn't there. "Where is she!?" Bloom groaned. They checked everywhere. They went to the take off stand, "Has anyone named Sapphire Farono boarded any of your planes?" Justice asked. The secretary smiled, "Um.... Yes, actually she has. She boarded flight 18 last night. She was heading to Arizona boarder. She took the cheaper flights that tour the grand canyons. If your trying to get to your friend, take flight 13, it leaves in..... Five minutes." Justice smiled, "Thank you!"
After they boarded the plane, Bloom started freaking out, "I PROMISED that we WOULD NOT board a plane!!! Where are we? ON A PLANE!!!" Justice did her down into the seat, "It's okay, we need to go. Hales will understand, Sapph could be in trouble, we NEED to go."
