Winter took a step onto the grass, inhaling the fresh air. It was so incredible! There hasn't been anything like it on Luna. Everything was fake- even the people. But Earth was so real. The sky was even blue, like they'd said. There was so much to see, so many vibrant colors she'd never seen on Luna. Well, she had seen them, just not like this. These colors were all sorts of new and exciting.
The sky was also filled with scattered clouds, and they'd looked almost like cotton candy. The grass was so... So green! She wished she'd came to Earth at a different time though; she would have loved to have seen the snow. But for now, this would do.
She ran of the Rampion, and spun around, her head turned to sky. She laughed, "I can't believe I'm on Earth! The sky really is as blue as the say! I can't believe it's all real!"
"I know!" Cress said, admiring the sky as well, though it was not her first time seeing it. Despite her having seen it before, it was the first time she'd seen without the threat of Levana and the Lunars, which gave her a whole new sense of freedom. "It's unbelievable."
"So this is where Scarlet-friend comes from? France, correct?" She asked gleefully.
"Right," Scarlet answered, walking out of the ship.
"We can't be here forever, though. We just came to drop off Scarlet and Wolf." Thorne said, exiting the ship, followed by Jacin and Wolf. "We happen to have a meeting with Prince- I mean Emperor Kai to celebrate the peace between Luna and Earth. It won't be long before he and Cinder form a little Earthen-Lunar 'alliance' now will it?"
"If you're implying they're going to get married," Iko stuck her head out the ship, and squealed. She would have stayed on Luna with Cinder, but, in her own words, 'she couldn't resist such a wonderful opportunity to meet his royal hotness again'. "Then yes, yes, yes!"
"It's obviously going to happen. They'll meet again, and the Emperor will propose, and the Moon Queen will say yes and become the Moon Empress and they'll live happily ever after with little cyborg children."
"I don't think marrying an emperor would change her title from queen to empress." Cress shyly corrected. "And being a cyborg is not genetic."
"I've learned to ignore him." Jacin added, glaring at Thorne.
"Aces, Don't question my logic, alright?" Thorne rolled his eyes.
"Aren't we going to show them the farm?" Wolf asked, walking next to Scarlet. "And tomatoes? Has Winter ever seen a tomato?" He sounded extremely worried.
"I think I have. Are they red?" Wolf nodded. "And are they-"
"We'll find you and Winter some tomatoes, okay?" Scarlet smiled.
"I can't wait to see everything! You have to show me everything, friends!"
"I'm not sure if I've ever seen her this excited before." Jacin said.
"I want to hear every story about Earth!"
"Well, I know about the desert, but that's about it. This is much more beautiful." Cress grinned, glancing at the world around them. "So I think your input would be appreciated. If we're not going to leave now. We still have a day or two before the meeting, right, Thorne? We don't have to leave, right?"
"Do you really think I would just leave you all so soon?" Thorne said, throwing his arms over Wolf and Scarlet's shoulders.
"I wish you would." Scarlet shrugged his arm off of her, and Winter got the feeling she didn't really mean what she said.
"Wolf?" Thorne looked up towards Wolf, hoping for someone to be excited about his visit.
"Will someone tell me about snow?" Winter asked, her eyes bright. "Scarlet, have you ever seen snow?"
"Yes."
"Thorne?" Cress looked up at Thorne, her eyes wide.
"Well, I might have a few stories I can tell."
