5 years after Alicorn's "Birth"

"There's a saying that, 'All Good Things..."


Alicorn is sitting in the cafeteria with Yorktown and Erik next to her, and Enterprise across from her; They're all eating.

"Even though I was in the middle of a bad storm, I managed to hit the Siren ship with my main rail gun from 30 kilometers away. It was so... Elegant!" Alicorn finishes her story.

"Wow, that's amazing." Yorktown cheers.

"It was pretty amazing to witness." Erik states.

"Even, I must admit, that's pretty amazing." Enterprise says.

Alicorn blushes from all the praise and she covers her face with her hands.

Yorktown scopes some ice cream from a little cup on her tray and holds it out to Alicorn. "Ice cream."

Alicorn quickly turns to Yorktown and eats the ice cream from her spoon. Yorktown smiles brightly.

"I'm just glad I've been allowed access out-side, with supervision, now." Alicorn says. "I like being outside, then stuff in my room all the time."

Yorktown pats Alicorn on the head. "I'm glad you're happy." Alicorn smiles from the head-pats.

Couple days later.

Alicorn is sitting down on the sandy beach outside the facility. Her rigging out and their red eyes are looking around. and a sword is in one of her hands. Little jets fly around her head and she watches one fly high into the sky.

"Deep dark blue." Alicorn reaches her head out to the jet high in the sky.

Footsteps approach Alicorn and she lowers her hand and looks to who's approaching her.

"Hey, sweety." Erik smiles as he greets Alicorn.

"Hi, Dad." Alicorn greets.

Erik sits down next in the sand next to Alicorn. "Whatcha doing."

"Looking to the sky."

Erik looks up and sees a few little jets flying around.

"I wish I could fly." Alicorn states.

Erik looks at Alicorn. "Why?"

"I want to be high up in the air, high enough where the ground looks so small. I want to see the sky right up close and experience that blue. I want to be free like a bird."

Erik smiles and he hugs Alicorn. "Only a couple more years, and you'll be off this rock and out with other ships."

Alicorn smiles and hugs her father back. "I hope so."

















"....Must Come to An End."
