A young female silverwing was flying out and about in the dead of night. She laughed and yelled with joy and excitement as she flew high up into the starry night sky and dive-bombed towards the ground. Just when she was mere inches from colliding with the earth bellow, she opened her wings at the last minute and flew straight forward, evading and dodging the incoming trees. She preformed all sorts of aerial acrobatics, and she did them flawlessly. She never, however, payed any attention to the woodland creatures in the trees or on the ground that watched her with wonder in their eyes. They mostly consisted of raccoons, rabbits, small mice and squirrels, and the occasional black bear or wolf, from time to time; even a few owls were impressed by her flying skills.

She did this every night, at the same time, but in a different area every time. She would either perform a few old tricks, or try something new, even when it was raining and thundering, she still went out into the night, personally to her, flying in the rain was her all time favorite, it gave her a challenge. Her mother however, kept giving her grief about how dangerous her stunts can be, and she should at least consider being careful, especially when she's in a storm. Her younger brother wasn't much help either, he agreed with his mom saying that it was dangerous, but that didn't mean he didn't enjoy watching her flying skills. She did offer to teach him a thing or two about her way of flying, but he said that he left the 'dare devil stunts', as he and his mother and pretty much every bat in their entire colony called them, to her. He did however learn a how to be pretty flexible while in the air, so that was one thing he learned from her.

Every night she flew, she felt like she was wild and free, but she wouldn't give up her life with her brother and her mother for anything, but she did wish her father could be there with them. Her father went missing one night when he was out, either scouting or hunting, she couldn't remember which, but they say that the owls got him, but she didn't believe it. She held a secret hope that her father was still alive, but she didn't dare say anything like that around her mother and brother. Knowing her brother he would get all these ideas of where their father might be, and then he would fly off and try to find him, so she never voiced her opinion about her father, but she still held hope for him.

"Jade!" A female voice called. The female bat known as Jade, looked down as saw another female bat, with fur darker than her own, and bright yellow mane and matching hair. "Jade, it's time to come in, the sun is coming up!" she called to her from the tree she was perched on.

"Coming mom!" Jade yelled back. She flew down towards her as her mother began to heads towards home. Jade managed to catch up with her mother and flew alongside her.

After a view minutes of flying they reached a large hollow tree on a cliff side of a lake, with silverwing bats at every corner of the tree. They flew in through the top and headed down to the lower half of the tree. Jade had a bright smile on her face when she saw her brother roosting on one of the inner tree limbs asleep. A mischievous smirk worked its way onto her face and she flew ahead of her mother and came up behind her brother quietly. And for a bat that loves to fly fast she was actually a very silent flyer, just like an owl. She roosted right behind him, and without warning tackled him off the branch and onto another one below them.

Her brother screamed in panic, but before he could see what happened, the one that tackled him flew out of his sight.

"What the, who the, what just happened?!" he yelled. He suddenly heard a familiar female laugh above him. He looked up to see his sister lying on her back on another branch holding her stomach from laughing so hard. She looked at him with an innocent smile and batted her aqua green eyes, but it only resulted in him glaring daggers at her, which caused her to laugh again, only harder. "Why must you always do that? You wouldn't laugh if this kind of thing happened to you!"

"Ah, but it didn't happen to me now did it, besides you should've seen the look on your face! HA!" She said going back into a laughing fit.

"You know your pranks get old every once and while, I don't understand why you gotta be so… so…"

"Annoying?" she finished for him with a smirk on her face.

"Yes!"

"Hey, I'm your sister; it's my job to annoy you. It's what brothers and sisters do, we get on each other's nerves, but they eventually learn to make up in the end." She said the last part flying down and landing next to her brother. She looked at with an innocent face and batted her eyes again, giving him the puppy eyes. He grew tense after a minute of looking into her aqua-green eyes, and eventually gave up.

"Okay, fine, you win, we're cool." He said with a defeated look on his face. He almost stumbled back a little when Jade wrapped her wings around him in a sisterly hug.

"You're the best little brother ever!" She said nuzzling her face on the side of his head. He just sighed and hugged her back, but he pulled away and looked at her with a serious face.

"But if you ever try to do that again, I will get you back."

"HA! Good luck with that, you know I'm the prank master." She said with a smirk, and he gave her a smirk of his own.

"Don't you know never to underestimate an enemy?"

"Yes, but you're my brother, I know you like the back of my wing."

"Or do you?"

Suddenly the sound of someone's throat clearing caught their attention. They looked up to see their mother looking down at them with a lob sided smile with her arms crossed. They both gave sheepish smiles, while their mother urged them to come up to their roost. They obeyed their mother's silent order and roosted beside each other.

"Goodnight Jade." He said closing his eyes and wrapping his wings around his self.

"Goodnight Shade." She replied with a smile, following her brothers' lead and drifting off into a blissful sleep.
