The girls and Guy packed some of the food they had received earlier for a trip to the beach together with drinks and towels.
'Ready?' Guy asked the girls. He looked into their room when he didn't get an answer and watched them standing in a pile of clothes. 'What's wrong?'
'We don't have any bathing suits.' Feli said.
After he was done laughing he drove them to the local clothing store first. The girls went through the racks looking at all the different designs of swimsuits. One attendant handed him a cup of cool water while he sat waiting.
'Thanks. I'm afraid it'll take some time.' he said.
'That's normal for women.' the young woman said. 'Especially when they go with a guy. And they have to have something matching their own fur.'
'Am I glad guys have it easier.' he chuckled.
'And that's why we compensate.' she giggled.
He nodded. 'One more mystery solved.'
'How's this?' Cani asked him showing a light yellow bikini set.
He looked at it and shook his head. 'I think stronger colours compliment your black fur better.'
'Okay.' she said and returned to the rack, wagging her tail.
Feli showed her choice of a light blue bikini reluctantly.
He smiled. 'I think that will look really good on you. It's a good colour with your white fur.'
'Arigatou.' she whispered and smiled while returning to the back to try it on.
'Are they really both your girlfriends?' the attendant asked.
Guy almost choked on his sip of water. 'Wait, what? What makes you think that?' he said after a few coughs.
She looked in the direction of the fitting rooms. 'They aren't? Usually women ask the opinion of their boyfriends.'
'I'm not their boyfriend. They just stay at my place while they're here and I guide them.'
'I see. could have fooled me.' she said with a slight smile as she left to help another customer.
Cani beckoned him to the fitting room and he walked over. She pulled out Feli and they posed with the swimsuits. 'So, how do we look?'
He looked at them for a moment to get used to the unexpected sexy sight. 'You look really great.' he said, smiling.
Feli looked away, her tail curling around her legs. 'You're just saying that.'
'No, really. Those bikinis really suit you. You'll cause a stir at the beach.'
'Great!' Cani said and pushed Feli behind the curtain. 'We're getting dressed so get ready to go.'
He went to the counter to pay and the girls showed up a little later.
'Let's go.' Cani said, wagging her tail.
'Have fun at the beach then.' the attendant said and winked at him.
He blushed. 'Thanks.'

At the beach they easily found a good spot where Guy set up a large parasol. 'Welcome to the sands of humanity.' he said, pushing his chest forward.
Feli chuckled. 'You've been writing too much.'
He grinned. 'Hey, it adds that extra special flavour.'
Feli and Cani took off their dresses and he noticed the reaction from the people who saw them, especially the guys.
'Guess I'll be the envy and target today.' he said to himself.
'What?' Cani asked.
'Oh, nothing. Are you ready to get into the water?'
'Only if you come with me.'
'I will keep you safe. There's nothing to worry about and I hope I can show you that today.'
She nodded and took his hand.
'Are you ready too?' he asked Feli.
'I'm not afraid of water.' she said, but held out her hand. 'But if you're holding her hand I want that too.'
'Happy to oblige.' he said with a smile. "And to be honest, I don't mind making some guys jealous." he thought.
Together they walked up to the water. Cani reluctantly took a few steps, then clung really close to Guy.
'I'm here so take your time.' he said.
Feli took Cani's elbow. 'Don't forget about me. We're there for you.'
Cani nodded and took slow steps further into the water. When it reached her waist she stopped.
'That's far enough for now. Try to get used to this first.' Guy said.
Cani nodded and Feli went in further swimming on her back. 'Come and join me soon. I don't want to swim out here on my own.'
'Maybe you should join her.' Cani told Guy.
'Not while you're uncomfortable. She wouldn't want me to.'
'True, but I need time to get used to this so you go swim with her.'
'I hate to leave you here.'
She smiled. 'I know, but if I keep you here I'll hate myself.' she said and pushed him into the water.
He shook the water from his head. 'You sure?'
She shook her head. 'No, so come back soon.'
He smiled. 'You'll never have to be without me.'
'I know, so go have fun with Feli quickly.'
He turned and swam towards Feli who had gone farther out into the sea.
'You're just too nice.' she said and looked out over the water.
There weren't many people at the beach at this time of the week and she felt glad for the quiet. She felt herself get used to the feeling of the water and relaxed a little more. Then some splashing caught her attention. Farther out into the sea she could see someone trying to keep above water. The figure went up and down a couple of times, then didn't came back up.
'Help! Someone needs help over there!' she shouted looking around but no-one seemed to be close enough to hear her.
'Help!' she tried again and looked at the spot where the figure had been.
"Shit." she thought to herself and dived into the water.
She swam as best as she could remember to the spot she thought she saw, then took a deep breath and dived down. The water was clear so she soon found the body going down slowly. Without hesitation she went down, grabbed the body and tried to swim back up. Her lack of experience though caused her trouble getting back up and she had to surpress the panic welling up. Her sight started to blur when she couldn't hold her breath anymore and she was afraid this might be it for her. The last thing she saw before fainting was a blur heading her way.
The next moment Cani woke up with Feli bending over her.
'Are you okay?' Feli asked.
She coughed up some water. 'Yeah, I'm okay.'
She saw Guy giving artificial respiration to a bird-like creature.
'She's lucky you saw her in the water.' Feli said, looking back at the bird. 'If you hadn't tried to rescue her she would have drowned for sure.'
The bird started coughing and Guy turned her over to let her cough up more water out of her lungs. The crowd around them felt relieved and a local medic arrived to check up on her. He ordered an ambulance and since nobody had experience with other species Guy volunteered to call Tesha and come with them to the hospital.
The girls packed their things and they drove off to the hospital where Guy made the call to Tesha.
'She's fine for now.' the doctor said. 'There is no permanent damage as far as we can tell thanks to your quick reaction. You can see her now if you want to.'
'Thank you.' Feli said and Cani opened the door slowly to the room of the bird. Apart from a few ruffled feathers she looked fine.
She opened her emerald green eyes. 'Are you the one who saved me?'
Cani sat down next to her. 'Sort of. It was Guy who eventually saved us both.'
'Thank you.' she said to Guy.
'It was Cani who spotted you. She deserves your thanks.'
'So what brought you here?' Feli asked.
'I was to be sent here to find out what humans were up to here together with your people.' she said. 'Then they postponed it officially but asked me to come here quietly anyway.'
'Like a spy?' Cani asked.
The bird nodded.
'Why?' asked Guy.
'Tensions are still high between our species.' Feli said. 'Even though we haven't been at war in ages.'
Guy's phone went off and he took the call from Tesha outside.
'You're getting company.' she said. 'They're not mine and I think they want to take the bird.'
'Why?'
'Ask your new friend.'
He hung up and hurried back into the room. 'Tesha said men are coming here, probably to take you away.'
'No! They found out I failed my mission so they'll try to silence me!' the bird said and clung to the bed sheet. 'What do I do?'
'Guy? Could you distract them?' Feli asked. 'Then we'll take her out the back.'
'Yeah, but how?' he said looking around, then got an idea seeing Cani with one of the bird's feathers in her hand.
Four men dressed in standard black suits came out the elevator and went down the hallway when all of a sudden a door near the end smashed open and someone fell down, covered in blood.
'NO!' he screamed while there was a loud racket coming from the room.. 'Don't!'
The men hurried closer and saw a wild black beast through the window inside. It snarled at the window outside, then turned around and they saw feathers and blood on its mouth.
'Quick! Get away before it attacks you too!' the guy yelled while he got up and limped away.
One of the men started moving back already when the beast saw them. It snarled again and jumped over the bed towards the door. This was enough to get them all running back down the hallway. The beast slipped on the hard floor but picked up speed soon. Luckily the door to the stairwell was close and the men rushed through it, then closed it as fast as they could. One moment later the door shook as the beast rammed it. It snarled and scratched furiously at it, then it became silent.
One minute later Guy and the girls drove through the small streets on the way home.
'Think they're still shaking in their boots behind the door?' Cani asked and snickered.
'I wouldn't be surprised.' Guy said. 'You were really scary back there. Now I'm afraid of ever making you mad.'
'And you better know it.' she said, growling playfully.
'How are you doing?' Guy asked the bird who sat in the back, hiding under a coat.
'I'm okay.' she said, peeking out from under it.
'Sorry about having to pull a few of your feathers.'
She shok her head. 'I'm glad to give them in exchange for getting out of there safely.' she said and turned to Feli. 'Thanks for saving me, but why would you help me?'
Feli shrugged. 'It's not like we're on bad terms. We couldn't just let you get taken away, right?'
'Where are we going?'
'To our place.' Guy said. 'You will be safe with us. If anyone tries anything it would cause an international incident.'
Back home Feli made refreshments while Cani and Guy unloaded the van.
'Here,' she said as she handed a mixed fruit juice to the bird. 'This should give you some energy.'
'Arigatou.' she said, looking at the glass and started to relax. 'I'm Avia, by the way.'
Felli gave her a warm smile. 'Welcome to our simple home, Avia. Although it's mostly Guy's.'
'How so?'
Feli explained how they ended up at his place just before Cani and Guy came inside with the bags.
'How are you feeling?' Guy asked.
'Tired, but grateful. Thank you again.'
'Get some good sleep tonight, we'll see about the rest tomorrow.'
Feli led Avia to the futon she could use for the night.
Guy wiped some ketchup from Cani's muzzle. 'You go bathe first.'
Cani looked at the shower, then pulled on the hem of his shirt. 'Come with me?'
Guy blushed a little. 'Why?'
'I don't like it alone.'
'Why not wait for Feli?'
'Feel safer with you.'
'I don't know.'
'Please?'
