"You- you have fire proof scales. I thought, I didn't know..." Peril stammered. You stared at your wrists. Fire proof scales! I could impress a lot of people. You thought. 

"Wait, did I your mother or father mention anything weird about your egg?" Starflight called from his desk. 

"No..." You responded.

"Was it bright red?" Starflight asked.

"Yes, why? I thought all Mudwing/Skywing eggs were like that." You asked. You went back to looking for some scrolls on hybrids. 

"WHAT! That is so rare! We should tell Sunny and Clay. They'll want to know." Starflight stumbled towards the doorway, Peril and you followed. Hmm, Peril hasn't said much. I wonder what's upsetting her. 

"Ugg, why is it so cold in the hallway?" You asked, shivering. 

"Here, since, you know... fireproof n' all." Peril stuttered, then she stepped so close to you the her scales were practically touching yours. You closed your eyes and sighed in content. 

"Umm, you'll want to see this." Peril said in aw.

"Hi Peril and y/n." You heard Winter say. Wait, Winter?!?!

"Guys! Winter's here!" You heard Moon exclaim. 

"What are you doing here?" You heard Qibli remark harshly behind you. 

"What's got you so worked up?" Winter remarked with an hint of- Jealousy? You wondered. You decided to break the tension.

"So, Winter," You practically yelled beside him. Peril have a concerned look on her face. You continued.

"How's- urm, everything doing in Possibilty." You stamered, making it up as you go along.

"Fine. If this is about your parents, then they're doing well." Winter relaxed a bit, but you noticed Qibli giving him the side eye. Tsunami appeared in the door beside you.

"Moon, Peril, Qibli, Winter, GO BACK TO CLA- wait, WINTER!!!" Tsunami exclaimed. Her eyes widened. 

"WHEN DID YOU GET HERE?" She yelled, but it didn't sound mean. You winced, since she was right beside you. Tamarin poked her head out the door across the hall.

"SHHHHHH, some of us are trying to learn!!" She huffed, then went back into the classroom. 

"Yeah, Tsunami, lighten up. Besides, I thought you all knew I was coming. Right, y/n?" Winter questioned. Everyone was suddenly staring at you. Uh oh. You crumpled on the floor, your head flooding with pain. Not again.

"What? Y/n didn't tell us anything." Sunny's brow furrowed. 

"Clay! Come tend to y/n!" 

"Wait, what are we going to do about Everest!"

"Oh right!" Sunny sighed grumpily.

"And the prophecy!" Everything started to blur around you, and you were overwhelmed by everything that had happened in the last hour. You covered your face with your talons. Tears started to stream down your face, when all of a sudden, you felt something brush your back.

"Mother?" You called, forgetting that you were at school.

"It's Turtle." He croaked, "And I just wanted to see if you were OK?" You blinked at him, confused since you thought we weren't good friends.

"If I was OK?" you echoed.

"Yeah. We are both sick, and we're clawmates, so I thought- 'where did (she/he) go? And should I be concerned-" He started coughing so loud, you had to cover your ears. The halls went silent.

"im-" Turtle sputtered, wearing a horrible grimace.

"So," Moon started, "Can Winter stay in your cave, y/n?" You nodded blankly, still thinking about Turtle and his concern for you. 

"So, It's light's out for the other caves, and I need to do hall patrol. Anyone want to join me?" Sunny asked half heartedly. 

"Sure," Starflight answered sheepishly while popping his head out from the library. 

"But your blind, silly!" Sunny friendly nudged him. "And were you eavesdropping?" Sunny giggled.

"Ugggggggg" Winter and Tsunami groaned simultaneously. 

"Quit the sappy stuff." Winter sighed

"For once, I think we can all agree with Winter. I never thought I'd say those words. Ever." Qibli laughed from the cave across the hall. 

"TIME FOR BED MISTER!" Tsunami yelled. You stared at her. 

"Sorry. I just haven't yelled at someone in like- five minutes." She added. Everyone cracked up.

"Alright, Clay, Tsunami, Starflight, let's do hall patrol. Turtle, y/n, back to the healing center. Winter, Moon, find your caves and off to bed." Sunny commanded

"Same cave right?" He asked you. You nodded back. You helped Turtle up and walked him back to the healing center.

"I feel like this is going to be another crazy school year." Turtle sighed.

"Wait, another? You can't just say that and not expect a follow up question! Share." You sat on your slab and waited.

"Well," He started, sitting down. "It all started on the first day of school, when we first met our new clawmates..."

                                                                                 ~3 hours later~

"... Then Darkstalker was gone for good." Turtle finished "Don't tell anyone I told you how he was defeated. Your one of the lucky few that know." You yawned, which set of a chain reaction, between Turtle, the nurse, then Sunny, and- wait, SUNNY?!? 

"What are you doing here?" You asked her. 

"Well, Turtle really paints pictures with his words, and it was so good, ugh! Anyway, off to bed, it's really late now."

"Ok," you turned reluctantly onto your side, and slowly drifted off, ready for the day tomorrow.

(Author's note: I am so team Sunnyflight, please don't be mad, I am open to most ships anyway. I'll try to do the next chapter in a week or so!)
