The planes slept soundly that night. Thankfully, Herky remembered where he left his gum shield and had put it on before he went to bed, which meant that only Count Winger's snores could be heard.

The next morning, at eight o'clock on the dot, Prince Duffy announced "Rise and shine! Breakfast time everyone!"

The planes woke up slowly. They yawned and stretched before filing out of the guest room in a sleepy line.

"Good morning!" the prince and his planes greeted their guests kindly. "I hope you all slept well last night?"

"Yes we did, thank you!" They all agreed, looking a lot perkier and happier than they had been last night.

"Very well then, I hope you're hungry... because breakfast is served!" Prince Duffy finished.

...

"Mm -This orange juice is great!" Herky said delightedly, taking a big gulp.

"Why thanks Herky," replied Duchess Susanna. "It's a speciality in Skylandia."

They also had a bowl of warm yummy oatmeal for breakfast. It filled them up nicely. Once they finished breakfast, Count Winger had an idea.

"How about we have some social time?" He asked "It could be something to do until the Tarrytown planes go."

"What an excellent idea, Count Winger!" The Prince exclaimed.

"Yeah, yeah!" added Perky, bouncing up and down.

"Well it's settled- social time it is!"

"Before we do, I have something to say on behalf of my friends!" Jay Jay announced.

The room was silent as he turned to Prince Duffy. "Thank you for letting us all stay up for ten more minutes last night." he said politely, "It was well appreciated."

The green royal skywriter smiled. "You're very welcome Jay Jay -I'm glad I could help you all feel better about the difference in our sleeping customs."

Snuffy turned to Perky, who was now next to him. "Did you sleep well last night Perky?" He asked.

"Yes thank you," Replied Perky.

...

The younger planes were in the middle of Jet Frog where the jets leaped over one another.

They had a lot of fun and they were laughing as well.

Suddenly Big Jake's radio hissed sleepily into life "Big Jake I just want to let know you and the others have to come back to Tarrytown Airport soon," Reported Brenda Blue.

"Okay Brenda, I'll tell the others then." Big Jake replied.

"Thanks Big Jake!" and his radio went dead.

He told Old Oscar and Savannah, who had been chatting with Big Jocko, Count Winger and Lady Susanna, the news.

"Right guys we have to go!" He called out.

The game ground to a halt.

"Aw, I wanna play more Jet Frog..." protested Snuffy.

"If we go now, we can get ready for the day's deliveries!" Jay Jay reminded his friend.

"Yes, and I have to go -I have a delivery to take to Farmer Ben's farm today!" Tracy said firmly. "If you stay here, we can't go back."

"I still don't want to go!" groused Snuffy.

...

Prince Duffy was concerned about Snuffy's refusal to move. "Calm down everyone. We have had a good morning so far. Let's not argue and I will speak to Snuffy. Count Winger, will you please come with us? You will be of great assistance."

"Alright, Your Highness," Replied the Count. So the prince and the count led Snuffy to a corner so that the three could talk in private.

"Snuffy what's wrong?" Prince Duffy inquired.

"I didn't want the sleepover to end," admitted Snuffy "It was my first one- and I enjoyed it."

"I'm glad you did Snuffy, but you have to as you're told." The Count said gently.

"Count Winger is right. You do need to return to Tarrytown," Agreed Prince Duffy. "But I'm sure you'll all be back soon."

"It's just... I feel lonely when you're not there; because you're the one Jay Jay talked to about." He said, sniffling slightly.

"Listen Snuffy," the prince said gently but a bit firmly. "No matter what happens, I will always be here for you all. It will be okay." He smiled.

Snuffy managed a small smile in response. "I suppose I should go home now. Thank you."

...

Soon the trio returned. "Good news!" Count Winger called.

"Snuffy is joining you all for the journey home!" The prince declared.

The Tarrytown jets were happy about this, and they let out cheers to show how happy they were that Snuffy was coming home to Tarrytown with them.

"Wait!" called Snuffy "I have something I forgot to do!"

He hurried up to Prince Duffy and taxied alongside him. "I will miss you, Your Highness. I hope we'll see each other again soon." he said.

"You will Snuffy," The prince reminded. "I'll miss you too by the way." He added.

The planes of Skylandia called goodbye as their friends set for Tarrytown, and as they flew through the wind spout, Snuffy was glad he went. He was also happy at the thought of coming back to Skylandia again to see his friends really soon.
