I was practically bubbling with excitement. Today's Mistral's birthday! I turned to the other dragonets with a bright smile on my face. "You guys ready? Everything's in position?" I asked, and they all nodded. I grinned and looked in satisfaction at our handy work.

"Mistral's never been one for liking big parties... but this time... I'm going all out!" I cheered happily.

"Hay, Tempest? I have a question. Is Mistral part of the circles?"Nightowl asked, tilting her head to the side with a curious look on her face. I thought for a moment before I answered.

"Yes. Mistral is from the circles. But we'll talk about that later," I said, focusing on the task at hand. "Anyways... we're getting off topic. Let's start the plan. Alright, you guys ready?" I asked, and they nodded.

I was grinning widely as I guided my friend to the middle of the rainforest. "Um, hay, Tempest? What are you doing?" Mistral asked, sound nervous. I just laughed quietly and told my friend to open her eyes.

"Three Moon! You guys did all of this just for me?" The IceWing asked, looking around with wide eyes. I laughed quietly and nodded rapidly in response. "Oh Moon, your here too?" The IceWing said looking at Moonwatcher in surprise.

"Of course I am silly," the NightWing replied with a laugh, and a kind smile in the IceWing's direction.

MOONWATCHER

I laughed quietly at the shy and nervous IceWing dragonet. One thing that I had learned today was that Mistral is a huge bookworm, she always has her nose in a scroll.

Speaking of Mistral I turned to see the IceWing was reading a scroll while Tempest was sitting beside her, the SeaWing was apparently a bookworm as well.

"You two are like me, I love reading scrolls to. But you two dragonets are more into books it seams," I walked over and sat next to the two younger dragons and I peared over the IceWing's shoulder.

"Hay, Tempest, Mistral, Moon. Isn't it time to go to sleep?" I turned to see Clearfrost staring at us with amusement shining in her eyes. I laughed quietly and curled up to sleep. I didn't bother the SeaWing and IceWing dragonet's, they would sleep when they were ready. So with that, I let myself drift off to sleep.

CLEARFROST

"Hay Tempest? Yesterday you told us that Mistral's in the circles, but you didn't elaborate, could you explain it to us now?" Nightwave asked, lifting her head from the lake.

Tempest nodded and explained what the circles were and how they work.

"Mistral is from the circles, though she's much more... open in her opinions about it... most of the time she's pretty quiet and she tends to keep to herself when I'm not there." Tempest explained, answering for Mistral. "At the meetings that the older IceWings have every few months... let's just say she's caused some IceWing spikes to rattle." Tempest added, clearly poking fun at her friend good-naturedly.

Mistral just sighed and rolled her pale blue eyes at Tempest.

"Haha, IceWing puns. Hilarious and original! What's next, coming up with the cool and cold jokes?" Asked the IceWing with a mix of betrayal and a pout on her face. But Mistral was clearly being sarcastic. There was no mean spite in her tone when talking to Tempest.

"Ohh... I get the joke! But what are the freckles?!" Nightowl questioned, tilting her head in confusion. Mistral looked up from her scroll briefly and added.

"The IceWings have rankings and they go up depending on how high up in the circles you are. Most of the IceWings are really... lets just say there all pretty cold to others. They are also very strict in their traditions." Mistral quietly explained. "IceWing Royals are instantly placed at the highest ranking in the circles. I'm from the circles, I'm pretty high up in the rankings but I don't really agree with the IceWing aristocracy." Mistral quietly explained, though the IceWing's expression changed slightly at the mention of the circles.

"Wow! Your just like Ermine. Aren't you Mistral?" Moonstrike remarked with a wide grin, the IceWing laughed quietly and lowered her head.

Tempest nodded and turned to Moonstrike with a bright smile on her face. "Yeah Mist is a lot like Ermine, the only difference id that Ermine is really nervous and shy." Tempest explained, smiling at the mention of her oldest friend.
