Neytiri woke up, stretching her arms. She walked out into the open, smiling at the rising sun. She had actually begun to enjoy it here.

"Morning, luv," greeted Jake as he came to join her outside.

"Morning Jake,"

"You enjoying it?"

"I am," she inhaled the sea air deeply with a smile. "I still miss home, our people...but it truly is a paradise here," she wanted to enjoy this moment still, but a certain issue was on her mind. "Jake, have you noticed that the twins have been distant from Neteyam?"

"Not really if I can be honest," Jake confessed.

"The last thing I want is for them to have a falling out," she said. Right when she spoke, Neteyam, yawning as ever, came walking outside.

"Morning," he greeted.

"Neteyam, what's going on between you and the twins?" Jake asked.

Neteyam was stuck. "Nothing,". He lied.

"You guys used to be inseparable," his mother said. "Now you guys are drifting apart,". Neteyam couldn't deny it. Inside he felt like he was being replaced in the twins' hearts by their secret friends. "Neteyam, what is going on?"

Neteyam was stuck He bit his lip. "I can't," he forced himself to say.

"Why not?" asked his mother.

"Because if I do, they'll never forgive me,"

"Okay. We need to have a talk with you three," said Jake, walking back inside. "Lo'ak! Sylwa! We need to talk!" Kiri and Tuk woke up. But the twins under the blankets didn't move. He walked inside. "Guys, we need to talk," he pulled the blankets off only to find bundles of large island fruit. "Oh, come on!"

Lo'ak and Sylwa were flying on Betze and Skeera out at sea. They had wanted to give their ikrans a flight out together like they used to before the Sky people returned. Also, they did not want to replace them with Payaka and Tsu'tey in their hearts. And accompanying them were Atuiko and Tsireya. The twins were desperate to introduce their friends to Tsireya; they knew she was going to love them.

"How I've longed to be back in the air again," breathed Atuiko with wonder.

"You sure Aonung, Roxto and the others can keep our dads distracted?" Sylwa asked Tsireya.

"They will," the sea princess said. "I firmly gave my brother the little sister warning,". The group chuckled.

Sylwa noticed she was a little nervous. "You okay?"

"I'm still nervous about this. As future Tsahik, I'm not supposed to be doing this,"

"And yet you're still doing it," reminded Atuiko. "I'm the general's youngest son but that doesn't mean I do everything he expects. Just like our twin pals have shown us, we need to make our own choices. Trust me, you'll love Tsu'tey and Payaka,"

"Okay. But we go back by the afternoon,"

"Deal!" jinxed the twins.

They arrived at the Three Brother Rocks and to their delight, Payaka and Tsu'tey were waiting for them. Payaka squeaked in delight seeing Sylwa and Tsu'tey jumped for joy seeing his spirit brother again. The Tulkun didn't mind allowing the agitated Ikrans to land on her back.

"Hey girl," Sylwa dismounted Skeera and sat on her fin.

It's so good to see you again Sylwa. Who's this? She glimpsed at Tsireya who sat beside her.
