Hello everyone! I hope you guys enjoyed the last chapter. Theghostinmybasement, I will need your help with ideas for the next chapter. Now, without further ado, let's take flight.

I awoke early that morning as usual. And Ermine and I went to the near by lake and swim. "Hay, Clearfrost, Nightwave do you huys want to go swimming with us?" I asked, smiling brightly.
"Yeah, we'll go swimming! That sounds fun!" Nightwavecheered, diving into the lake like a SeaWing.
We had been swimming for a while of swimming, we decided to go and pay a visit to Peacemaker. "So... Tempest? Are you and Peacemaker going to go on another date?" Clearfrost asked, giving me a teasing smile. I blushed and looked at my taloms.
"CLEARFROST!" I yelled, pouting at the older IceWing/NightWing hybrid. Clearfrost just laughed quietly in response. "That wasn't very nice, Clearfrost." Ermine quietly scolded. Clearfrost pouted and stuck out her tongue.
ERMINE
I sighed in fond exasperation. I felt bad for Tempest, no body liked being teased. I know they were just teasing, but still...
"Are we there yet?" I asked, looking up at Tempest. The SeaWing nodded and I gave a soft smile. "Almost, we're getting very close, Ermine." Tempest replied, with a warm smile and a twitch of her tail.
The light was fading by the time they could see anything other than waving grass. The lowering sun in the west tinted the sky a dusky orange, and the trees of the small clearing ahead of us was casting long shadows.
HOPE
I was surprised when there was a knock on the door. Peacemaker was the one who went to open it. "Hay, mom! Tempest and Ermine are here. And they've brought some friends." I smiled warmly and approached the group of dragonets.
"Oh, and Moon is here to. Hi, I wasn't expecting to see you here so early in the day." I said, giving Moon a warm smile. "So, what brings you young dragonet's here? Are you just here to visit?" I asked, smiling brightly. They all nodded, and we all headed back inside the house.
"So... What do we do now?" Nightwave asked, breaking the silence that had fallen. "I'm not sure..." Ermine remarked, quietly from beside Tempest.
Ermine sighed and shook out her wings. "You and Peace should go and hang out," The IceWing says in a playful manner, and the SeaWing blushed and lowered her head in an attempt to hide her blush. "Relax, Tempest. I was just joking, but seriously, you guys should do something fun together."
TEMPEST
I sighed quietly and motioned for Hope, Moon, and Peacemaker to follow. "We need to make a surprise party for Ermine. Tomorrow is her birthday." I said, smiling widely at the three other dragons.
"What are you planning on doing Tempest?" Moon asked curiously as she looked at me with excitement. "Well I was thinking that we throw her a surprise party here in the rainforest," I say, and the others all nod their heads in agreement. "So when will the party be?" Moon asked, and the I thought for a moment before replying. "It will take place at sunhigh, but one of us needs to keep her distracted while everything is being set up," I pointed out, and Moon offered to help with the decorations and Hope and Peacemaker would do the rest, while I did the honors of keeping my friend distracted.
oOo
Ohh... What is Tempest planning for Ermine's birthday? You'll find out in the next chapter. I hope you all enjoyed reading this chapter.
