Ariel and Cassiel both flew to where Chinook was, even though they knew what was wrong they were going to get his to say what was wrong. They roosted next to him, both on each side, and again Chinook didn't notice. "Hello Chinook," Ariel asked. That made Chinook notices them. "Oh hi Ariel, Cassiel what is it?" he asked. " How are you doing?' Cassiel asked. "Me, oh I just fine," he lied. Ariel sighed "Chinook I don't like it when you lie." "I'm not lying" Chinook said. "You've been crying, the fur around your eyes are wet," Ariel said. "It's nothing, really," Chinook said. "We know something is bothering you, just please tell us," Cassiel said. Chinook just closed his eyes and looked down, it was no use to lie to them anymore. He just sighed and said, "I.I miss them," "your parents right?" Ariel said. Chinook nodded. Ariel could see a tear coming from Chinook, but it looks like he was trying to hold it back. She looked at Cassiel and he seemed to notice. " Chinook you know it's alright to cry," she said trying to comfort him.
All he did was shake his head and said nothing. "Chinook please It might help to just let it all out, we just don't want you to suffer on the inside," Cassiel said. The comfort from both of them made more tears come out, the comfort of two others that cared for him finally pushed him. He allowed more tears to come out, until he was sobbing uncontrollable. Both Ariel and Cassiel folded a wing around him, they were happy to know they he was letting all his pain out. Deep down Chinook started to feel all his pain to lessen even more, he was happy to have others that cared for him. They both stayed close to him for a while till he stopped crying.
"How you feeling now," Ariel asked. "A bit better, thank you both of you," he responded. Ariel looked at Cassiel and he nodded knowing what she was going to do. "Chinook we've been thinking, with everything that has happened and both of your parents died, would you like to join our family?" Ariel asked him. Chinook looked at her in disbelief and responded, "Re..Really?" "yes it will be no problem at all," she responded. Chinook was now filled with happiness, but asked "what did Shade say?" "he was a bit shocked at the idea but he accepted it," Cassiel said. "what do you say?" Ariel asked. Chinook responded happily " yes thank you so much." He hugged them both. "Welcome to the family," Ariel said. "thank you Ariel… I mean mom and dad." They both smiled at what he said. "I'm going to go and tell shade now," he said. They both nodded, and Chinook unfolded himself and flew to where Shade was. Ariel and Cassiel stayed a while. "we did good," Cassiel said. "I know, hopefully those two will get along now that they are brother now, I'm really glade we were able to help," Ariel said. "me too, me too."
Chinook was filed with life again as he flew to where Shade was. He landed next to him, "hey Shade," he said happily. " Hey Chinook you look a lot better, so what happened," Shade said. "Were brothers now," Chinook said happily. Hearing that made Shade happy for him, he knows now that he doesn't have to worry about him anymore. "I was shocked at what they were going to do, but then I was going to have to except it because they had their hearts set on it." Shade said. "Well I'm glad, oh yah just because were brothers now doesn't mean I going to stop teasing you now and then," Chinook said with a smile. Shade smiled to, "same old you." "I'm going to go hunt for a while see you later." With that Chinook spread his wings and took flight. Shade stayed there, happy that Chinook was back to his old self. He turned his head and saw Marina landing next to him. "So what happened?" she asked. "Lets say I have new brother," he said with a smile. A smile also appeared on Marina's face, "I'm happy for him," "me too, I'm really glade to see him back to his old self again." They both stayed there for a while both happy that Chinook would never be alone, or sad again.
