That night back at the house, Airess sits down to dinner with her parents. "How was your day with Flitzy and Soara dear?" ask her parents with a smile.

"It was great. Meeting Flitzy's dad and Ms. Storm was great!" 

"That's great!" responds Vapor with a smile. 

The three then dive into their dinner. They enjoy mashed potatoes, hay steaks, and green beans and even fresh corn on the cob. A few minutes later, they finish up their dinner and go outside for a family fly. As they fly, Airess can't help but smile. She's go lucky to have friends and a family that loves her. She honestly couldn't ask for more. 

A half hour later, they arrive back at their house where they plop down on the couch and turn on the TV. As they sit and watch the movie that's on together, Airess gladly cuddled up under her mother and father's wings. A few hours into the movie, Airess falls fast asleep. Vapor then takes her upstairs and puts her to bed for the night. As she's in the bedroom with Airess, she begins to sing her daughter a lullaby her mother used to sing her as a child. "Quiet, quiet, it's time to sleep. Let your dreams guide you and your imagination as you sleep. Sleep on, sleep on, I'll watch you as you sleep. I'll keep you safe, so don't cry or make a peep. Quiet, quiet, it's time to sleep. Sleep on, sleep on, I'll be right beside you as you sleep." She then leaves the room and quietly closes the door behind her. She then returns back downstairs and curls up beside Sky Stinger and continues to watch the movie with him. 

Two hours later, the movie comes to an end and Vapor Trail turns in for the night followed by Sky Stinger soon after. Once in bed, the two fall fast asleep, his hoof around her. Come tomorrow they'll tell Airess their little secret. Until then, it'll stay a secret for one more night.
