Young Love

After being fed, Lightning was ready to go back to play with his new friends. However, when he was heading back, he heard what sounded like...giggling? Lightning stopped when he heard that and looked to where he heard the strange noise. He looked to a patch of thick trees and saw pair of purple eyes staring right at him. He blinked a couple times, then saw what was in there, a young tawny colored she-magnet that looked about his age.

She giggled again, even though it looked like she didn't have a mouth. For the first time, Lightning actually got shy and hid behind his mother.

Buttercup looked up and saw the second baby magnet and giggled "Oh, Lightning, she wants to be your friend."

The second magnet wheeled over, a cheery expression on her face, while Lightning continued to hide from her.

Buttercup looked over at her son, hiding behind her "Aren't you going to play with her?"

Lightning lowered and shook his head at her.

"Oh, you're not afraid of her, are you?" Buttercup asked him

Lightning looked firm and shook his head again, trying to act brave now.

"Then go ahead and play." Buttercup told him and nudged her son towards the second magnet baby.

Lightning looked at his mother, then at the stranger and wheeled over to here, looking at her with a confused look on his face. The tawny she-magnet baby squealed and started jumping and wheel around him, being super playful towards him. Eventually, Lightning caught on and started to play with her, squealing himself. Windy and Blenny found the two baby magnets and started to play with them, too, resuming in their game of tag they were playing earlier.

A little ways away, Prince watched them, and remembered his time with his dad and young crane friends and he missed his old home. He went off to talk with Executor, relieved that he understood, and left to go back to the woods.

Sweetie noticed that Prince was leaving and wheeled to her father "Where's Prince going, dad?"

"He's going back to his real father. He misses him and figured he should go back to him now that he isn't a jerk anymore." Executor explained

Sweetie sighed "I understand...I will miss him. He was such a nice crane."

"He sure was. I'm sure he'll love visits from you at times though." Executor told her

"Can do!" Sweetie exclaimed

All the babies eventually started to tire out and stopped playing. Eventually a voice called out "Melinda!" , which everyone figured that was the name of the new magnet that came to play. Lightning gave her a little lick, then Melinda giggled and left.

Shadow wheeled over next his wife "Ah, young love. It sure is sweet isn't it."

"It sure is, my handsome devil." Buttercup responded, nuzzling into Shadow's neck, him giving her a kiss in return.

Eventually, Lightning heard something else, and once again his curiosity got the best of him and he wheeled off to find out what it was, his parents following close behind, making sure he didn't get into trouble this time. What could have Lightning heard this time? Will it be trouble or a miracle to happen?
