On a beautiful morning, Fawn decided it was time Hal learned how to fly. Fawn walked into Hal's room and softly began to wake the young hawk.
"Mornin Hal." Fawn greeted.
"Morning mommy." Hal replied softly.
"I've got a big surprise for you today." Fawn said with a smile.
Hal began to fully awaken upon hearing about the surprise.
"What is it?" he asked cheerfully.
"Now if I told you, would it be a surprise?"
"If I say no, would you tell me?" Hal asked with a chuckle.
Fawn laughed as well and pulled Hal's wing so her hawk can rise from his bed. He ran into the bathroom and brushed his beak, before his mother called out for him.
"Come on Hal, your aunties are waiting!" Fawn called.
"Comin!" Hal replied excitedly.
The young hawk ran towards the house's secret exit and met up with his mother. Tink, Iridessa, Silvermist, Vidia, and Rosetta decided to help Fawn with this task, and the friends snuck Hal out of Pixie Hollow, to an opened field in Never Land. The wide open area was breathtaking on such a gorgeous day.
"Can you tell me the surprise now?" Hal asked eagerly.
"Okay, settle down." said Fawn with a giggle.
She covered Hal's eyes and grabbed his right wing. She led him to the top of a small hill, where the entire field was seen, and even parts of Never Land and Pixie Hollow.
"Remember when you told me you wanted to learn how to fly?" Fawn asked with a smile.
Hal's face lit up as Fawn led Hal to the edge of the hill, preparing for lift off. Tink and the others sat on the hill feet away as Hal began to make way for the edge. As the edge came closer, Hal began to become a little fearful and paused.
"What's wrong Hal?" Fawn asked.
"I'm not sure I can do this." said Hal as the hawk backed away from the edge slowly.
Fawn flew ontu Hal's back and rubbed the back of Hal's neck softly as she spoke.
"There's nothing to worry about, mommy will be here the whole time." she said warmly.
With his mother on his back, Hal gained a little more confidence. He looked out into the edge and began to back up, this time, he was preparing to run off and fly.
"Your strong!" Fawn cheered.
"I'm strong!" mimicked Hal.
"And your brave!" Fawn continued.
"And I'm brave!" Hal cheered.
"And you can fly faster than anything with wings!" Fawn cheered again.
"But what about Auntie Vidia?" Hal asked with a smile.
Fawn giggled and hugged her hawk warmly.
"Let's fly Hal!" Fawn cheered as Hal began to run towards the edge.
Just like that, Hal was airborne. The flight was breathtaking. Hal flew around the field and flew up to his aunties as they cheered him on. This was one of the happiest moments of Hal's life, and the fact that he had his mommy by his side the whole time made it twice as special.
"Think you can go higher!?" Fawn shouted with a smile.
Hal smiled in response and flew higher into the air. He looked down at the landscape below him and laughed triumphantly. Fawn cheered her son on as she touched the clouds that were inches above her.
"Way to go Hal!" cheered Tink and her friends as Hal and Fawn began to descend.
Hal landed smoothly and Fawn flew to his beak and kissed it.
"So.." Hal began trying to catch his breath. "How'd I do mommy?"
Fawn giggled and scratched Hal's head.
"You were excellent!" Fawn replied.
Tink and the others flew to Hal and Fawn, and embraced the hawk.
"You did great!" Iridessa congratulated.
"I swear Hal, you was going as fast as I usually do." Vidia said with a smile.
Hal teared a little at the high praise his family was giving him and turned his attention towards his mother.
"Let's get going Hal, it's getting late." she said.
The fairies and Hal went off home. Fawn put Hal to bed as the hawk was worn out from his astonishing first flight.
"Can we fly again tomorrow?" Hal asked Fawn as he got comfortable in his large bed.
"Of course we can." she replied softly.
Fawn kissed Hal on his forehead and turned off his light.
"Goodnight mommy." Hal said as he began to doze off.
"Night, Hal." Fawn replied as she slowly closed the door.
I thought this was a really cute idea for a chapter, so I decided to add it. It's a great to get a little more attached and familiar to how sweet Hal is.
