Shade: Well it's us again.
Blaze: Oh god...
Shade: Oh shut it! I probably wouldn't be makin' these comments if you weren't so slow to update!
Blaze: ...
Shade: That's what I thought. On with the story!

"Hey there, Silvy! I got something for you! Do you wanna know what it is?" Amander smiled coolly as she held an envelope in front of Silver's face.
"No. I don't want to see. Go away." He murmured, pushing the envelope away. She held it closer.
"Yes you do. You know you want to!"She persisted. Silver watched lazily as she waggled the envelope in front of his nose. Its bright pink writing distracted him momentarily and he snatched out at it.
"Alright...I'll read it. Just go away." He said, rolling his eyes.
"Thank you! And you have to say yes, you can't say no."
Amander smiled and turned on her heel, strolling away happily. Silver sighed. He leaned back on the bench and watched as Amander joined in on Blaze's team. The teacher was standing on a broken log near the oval and was shouting instructions.
"Lift up those knees, Mary! Don't slow down, Simon! I see that mobile phone, Olivia!" he shouted, expecting them to listen. "Do you want to stay back after school? Move it!"
Silver sighed and opened the envelope. Glitter flew out of it from all directions. He coughed. A strong hand wacked him on the back.
"You okay?" a stranger said. Silver smiled and turned.
"Shock? Why are you not in maths? And yes I'm okay."
Shock grinned. His light blue feathers went lighter. He was wearing a dark blue, short sleeve t-shirt with a bright yellow lightning bolt on it. His dark blue jeans had a small rip at the knee and his black ankle high work boots hid underneath them. He flexed his yellow gloved hands.
"I'm skipping. I came to see you guys play sport."
"You got sent out didn't you?" Silver mocked. Shock's feathers glowed pink.
"Didn't. The teacher just doesn't understand my way of working things out."
Silver sighed.
"Do you think that chatting up girls is how you work things out?" he asked, watching as Shock's fur went red.
"Yes. It is." He replied defiantly.
Silver chuckled and pulled out his letter. He opened it and read it. It said:

Silver groaned. This is just what he needed. A school camp. On the school holidays. Shock snatched the letter out of Silver's hands and read it. He groaned too.
"A camp? In the forest? On school holidays! I have plans!" he cried out in alarm. Silver sighed.
"I have plans too." He said and glanced at Blaze. She was standing at a certain spot of the oval with a yellow plastic bat in her hands. It looked like they were playing cricket.
Shock followed Silver's line of sight until he saw Blaze.
"Yeah. You were meant to go to the beach with her. Man, that bites." He said. He finally sat on the bench with Silver and watched the class play ball.
"It doesn't say we have to go. We could just say that we're going overseas with our family." Silver pointed out.
"That won't work." Shock declared.
"Why not?"
"Blaze doesn't have any parents, mine are gone and your mum is busy. They wouldn't believe us." Shock replied grimly. His feathers were now a soft baby blue. Silver sighed.
"They can't make us. Let's see what Blaze thinks." He murmured. Shock nodded.
"Okay."
They sat there until the end of class in complete silence. As everyone packed the equipment away, they got up and raced each other to meet up with Blaze. Shock got to her first.
"My, what a sight for sore eyes! It's the beautiful Princess Blaze, here to grant me my wishes. I think the first wish would be, I wish you would give me a hello." He said dramatically. Blaze smiled at him.
"Hey Shock. What's new?"
Shock smiled mockingly.
"Wow! She granted me my wish. Can I ask another?" he teased. Silver finally arrived. He collapsed to the ground at Blaze's feet.
"Hi." He wheezed. Blaze Knelt beside him.
"Are you alright? Please say that you're not in pain." She gasped. Silver lifted his head and smiled.
"Nah. I'm fine. Message for you." He replied. Blaze frowned and took the letter from his hand. She quickly read it.
"It's on the school holidays." She said. Shock nodded.
"And it's for two weeks." Silver sat up and nodded.
"Alright. Pack your bags boys; we're going on a camp!" She said, smiling once more. Shock rolled his eyes and cheered. Silver opened his mouth to protest but quickly shut it.
"Silver. About our holiday...we might have to do that some other time. I'm really sorry." She said quietly. Silver smiled.
"It's okay. You owe me now though."
"Yeah, I know." she handed him back his letter. "Besides, two weeks to relax? That's just what we need."
Shade: It took you that long to write that? Tsk tsk...
Blaze: Ok, guys I'm not going to tell you to review, but we'd sure appreciate it.
Shade: Pwease? :D
