Scene 1:
Top Wing Academy – The Courtyard

It was a quiet afternoon at the Top Wing Academy. The cadets had the day off after their last successful mission, so everyone was relaxing around the academy. Blue and Swift sat together on a bench, looking out over Big Swirl Island. Blue could tell something was on Swift’s mind, but Swift hadn’t said anything yet.

Blue: “You okay, Swift? You seem kinda quiet today.”

Swift hesitated, looking out at the horizon before finally glancing over at Blue.

Swift: (sighing) “Yeah… it’s just… I need some advice. And I think you’re the only one who might understand.”

Blue: (smiling) “Hey, you can tell me anything. What’s on your mind?”

Swift took a deep breath, glancing around to make sure no one was nearby.

Swift: “It’s about Penny. I… well, I think I have a crush on her. I just don’t know what to do about it.”

Blue: (grinning) “Ohh, so that’s what’s been bugging you! Crushes can be tough, especially when it’s on a friend. But you’re in luck—I know a thing or two about this stuff.”

Swift looked hopeful, his eyes fixed on Blue.

Swift: “How do I even tell her? I don’t want things to get awkward between us, but every time I’m around her, I just… I feel so different, you know?”

Blue: “Totally get it. But first, don’t overthink it. Penny’s already your friend, right? You don’t have to do anything big or flashy. Just be yourself—that’s who she’s already friends with.”

Swift: “So… just keep being her friend?”

Blue: (nodding) “Exactly! But here’s something else I’ve learned: if you’re feeling brave, tell her how you feel in a calm moment. Just say, ‘Hey, I really like being around you,’ and see how she reacts. You don’t have to make it a huge confession. Sometimes it’s better to go slow.”

Swift thought about this for a moment, his expression shifting from nervous to hopeful.

Swift: “That actually makes sense. I guess I don’t have to rush anything. I just… I want her to know.”

Blue: “And if you need a wingman—no pun intended—I’m here to help! Just be honest and show her you care. Girls like Penny appreciate someone who’s real with them.”

Swift smiled, feeling more confident than he had in days.

Swift: “Thanks, Blue. You’re a real friend. I think I’ll try talking to her today.”

Blue: “Go for it! And remember, no matter what happens, you’re still awesome.”

Scene 2:
The Academy Courtyard – Later

A little later, Swift and Penny were in the courtyard, working together to organize their gear. They laughed and chatted as usual, and Blue watched from a distance, giving Swift a thumbs-up for encouragement.

Taking a deep breath, Swift turned to Penny, his heart pounding.

Swift: “Hey, Penny… can I tell you something?”

Penny: (smiling) “Sure, Swift. What’s up?”

Swift hesitated for a moment but remembered Blue’s advice. He steadied himself and looked her in the eyes.

Swift: “I just… I really like being around you. You’re fun, and brave, and, well… I think you’re really amazing.”

Penny’s smile widened, and for a moment, she looked a bit surprised. But then she gave him a warm, understanding look.

Penny: “That’s really sweet of you, Swift. I feel the same way about you. I’ve always loved having you as my wingman—maybe even a little more than that.”

Swift’s face lit up, feeling a rush of relief and happiness.

Swift: “Really?”

Penny: (nodding) “Yeah. I was a little nervous to say it, but… I’m glad you did first.”

They shared a laugh, both feeling a little giddy as they realized their feelings were mutual. In the background, Blue gave an approving smile, proud of his friend for being brave.

Scene 3:
Blue and Swift – The Courtyard

After Penny left, Swift ran back to Blue, practically bouncing with excitement.

Swift: “Blue! It went amazing! She… she feels the same way! I can’t believe it!”

Blue: (laughing) “I knew it! See? Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith.”

Swift: “I don’t know how to thank you. Without your advice, I’d probably still be hiding my feelings.”

Blue: “No need to thank me, Swift. I’m just happy you’re happy. And besides, that’s what friends are for!”

They both laughed, and Blue gave Swift a high-five. Swift felt like a huge weight had been lifted, and he knew he could count on Blue for support.

Scene 4:
PJ Masks HQ – Evening

Meanwhile, the PJ Masks watched the scene play out on their monitor, smiling at the heartfelt moment between Swift and Penny.

Owlette: “Looks like Blue’s really fitting in. He’s helping them out with more than just missions.”

Gekko: “Yeah, he’s really made himself part of their team. It’s nice to see him happy.”

Catboy: “Agreed. But we can’t let him forget we’re working to get him back here, too.”

They shared a look, determined to continue their efforts. Blue’s friendship with the cadets was heartwarming, but they knew he’d eventually need to return home.

Scene 5:
The Academy – The Next Day

The next day, Blue and the cadets gathered at the academy, their bond stronger than ever. Swift gave Blue a grateful nod as they prepared for another day of training, knowing he had a friend he could trust with anything.

Blue smiled, feeling a sense of pride and belonging. His adventure with the Top Wing cadets was turning out to be even more meaningful than he’d imagined. And he knew that, whatever challenges lay ahead, they’d face them together—as friends.
