We last read Chapter 42, in which Coldsnap spends her first day after the Battle of Skycrest upholding her promise to Leo's old A.I. creation—the Wholly Automated Mechanical, or W.A.M., enabling it to use a well-preserved robot body to explore the world and see everything that humanity has to offer. After downloading instructions for how to configure the robot body to walk into W.A.M.'s consciousness, Coldsnap sees the A.I. off as he blasts off to go on his own adventures. This time, we follow her again as she tries to console another one of her friends; one who didn't get to see quite as much action as the others......

-Firelands, Elemental Realms-
Inside the Inferno Fortress, Firebird was chilling inside her almost-circular living quarters, sitting on her bed's red comforter and messing around with a pair of jacks. However, besides that, she wasn't exactly doing anything worth noting. She was still a little sour over not getting to participate in the Battle of Skycrest, and although she wanted to vent out her pent-up annoyance and frustration, she also didn't want to accidentally destroy the fortress in the process.
Thankfully, her best friend Coldsnap came to the rescue, throwing open the door of the bedroom and nearly making Firebird jump to the ceiling.
"Hey, Firebird!" the heroine greeted enthusiastically. "How are you feeling?!"
"Not great," Firebird confessed. "Just been sitting here, bored. I would try to do further research into how to improve those fire spirits....." She gestured to the black cage near the door that held them. ".....but I wouldn't want to tick off Keena again....."
"There's no missions at the moment?"
Firebird shook her head. "None. I don't suppose you have something we can do?"
Coldsnap smiled from ear to ear as she slowly revealed that she had brought a white and gold portable karaoke machine with her to the Firelands, complete with two similarly colored microphones. ".....Are you into singing songs?"
To the heroine's joy, Firebird perked up almost immediately. "Oh, you know it!"
Coldsnap activated the karaoke machine and set it to play a long, bouncy rap beat, before tossing one of the microphones to Firebird and completely letting her have the floor, much to her surprise. "Come on!" she called, cheering for her best friend. "Show me what you got!"
Firebird took a few seconds to get into the rhythm, but once she found her center, she absolutely blew Coldsnap away.

FIREBIRD:
My name is FIREBIRD! The Phoenix! The Mistress of the Flame!
Burning you to cinders if you play my game!
Turning up the temperature, melting peoples' hearts,
Whenever I'm around, pulse rates rocket off the charts!
Maybe you're quite dim, perhaps need some more explaining
I'm dishing out the PAIN 'till I'm the last one remaining,
Top of the class while the others still in training
