A/N: longer chapter for absolutely no reason

Winter POV

Winter awoke again, this time for good.

Unbeknownst to him, already a few weeks had passed since he last woke up.

A/N: lets just say it's a miracle that Winter's still alive

He sat up, stretching, then thought, Where am I?

Apparently he was in some kind of house, one that was average-sized but very comfy. 

Then he turned and saw Moon, reading some kind of scroll in a chair.

"...Moon?"

She started and looked up. Joy lit her gaze. "You're alive!"

Then she hugged Winter fiercely.

"Thanks, I - Grrk - Can't - Breathe-" Winter choked out as Moon nigh completely cut off his air supply.

"And that-" Moon snarled as she let go. "-was for what you've done to my scrolls. Do you have any idea how much they cost? And you just went and blew frostbreath all over them! And all over my living room!"

Ah, so this was Moon's house. 

Maybe it was just the fact that his brain was a little muddled, but why was Moon still cute as she ranted at him and complained about how much everything he ruined would cost...?

Then Moon flushed red.

OH WAIT MINDREADER MENTAL WALLS MENTAL WALLS!!!!!!!

Curse his addled brain.

"Uh, anyways," Moon continued. "I-I haven't gotten around to thanking you yet for saving me...So, thanks..."

"...You're welcome," Winter muttered after a while.

Then they just sat in awkward silence.

So it was almost welcome when the front door suddenly burst open to reveal...a smattering of colors. There was cyan, lime green, lemon yellow, magenta, a rosy shade of pink, and a ton of other colors that Winter had never seen before.

The colors whisked through the air before settling in front of Moon, and Winter now identified the colors as belonging to a RainWing. One that was holding bags that said Enjoy your cruise!

"HI MOON, LONG TIME NO SEE!" The RainWing said while she bounced like a demented pogo stick and her tail whipped back and forth. "DID YOU GET MY LETTERS? ALSO, I FOUND SOME REALLY COOL SOUVENIORS, AND- ooh, who's this?"

Moon sighed in half exasperation, half amusement. "Hi, Kinkajou. This IceWing here is Winter."

Kinkajou looked at Winter for five seconds. Then looked at Moon for the same amount of time. 

Then squealed so shrilly that Winter was pretty sure all the glass in a three-mile radius shattered. 

"MOON!! YOU FINALLY FOUND YOUR-" Kinkajou started.

"NOPE, nope nope nope," Moon quickly interrupted, face as red as a beet. "He's just staying here because there isn't a hospital."

"Suuuuuuure," Kinkajou laughed. 

All this Winter watched with confusion.

"Uh-" he started. 

Kinkajou turned her blue eyes on him. "Oh hi Winter! I'd like to introduce you to my best friend Moon. She's 8, loves to read, and is SINGLE~"

Moon rushed over and dragged Kinkajou away, her face still extremely red. "ALRIGHT GO BACK TO SLEEP WINTER MEANWHILE KINKAJOU AND I WILL HAVE A CHAT BYEEE!"
