3: Sky
All the sky is his to explore and he has never flown before on his own. The first time his wings sprout he is frightened and startled, frightened by the fact that he has wings of his own, and startled by the fact that they hadn't hurt as they grew. He shifts one a bit clumsily, learning to move it, and is surprised at how natural it feels. The sun is setting he realizes as a glance up shows him red sky out the window, and against the pink, red, and orange was a splotch of darker red, moving this way and that, wheeling and diving. Instinctively he knows what the red splotch is, or rather who. Unthinking he goes to the door to the outer stairs, opens it, and spreads his wings, leaping skyward and flying towards the sunset and the red winged shape soaring there. Another wing beat and Daisuke smiles at him and turns away, throwing an over the shoulder glance inviting him to play. They chase and race each other through the sky until the sun is down completely, and only then realize how long they have explored the sky as they swoop down to land in unison. For the first time all evening they speak. "Can we fly together again Satoshi?"
And he answers, "Yes, whenever we can I will share the skies with you."
4:Thrill
When Daisuke told him about storm diving and lightning dodging, Satoshi wondered if his friend was insane even thinking about it, and the fact that apparently Dark had loved doing those things was not at all comforting. He had said that. 'No he was not trying things as risky as that without working his way up to it first.' So his friend had suggested plummeting and soaring instead, and reluctantly Satoshi had agreed. Oh it was not at all what he had imagined, there was no fear in falling or spinning wildly, it was thrilling and exhilarating, and he realized he was laughing, as he switched from falling to gliding for the third time that night. He and Daisuke fly circles and spirals around each other and swoop downward sharply again. This is what it means to truly fly.
