Loona walked through the corridor of the Sanders residence looking for the study that Balin and Matt were studying in.

As his older siblings hid in their bunked bedroom, rather scared by her appearance, the family's pet, Blood Orange the Macaw, noticed her as she was walking past Matt's room where he stayed put in his cage.

"Bawk! Chick!" he squawked in its native Australian accent. "Bawk!"

Loona heard him as she walked past and showed a flustered expression on her face.

"Hello Blood Orange! Hello Blood Orange!" he said waving to Loona with his talons. ...and mimicking Matt's obedience training.

Loona then snickered hearing the name. "Blood Orange? The hell kind of name for a bird is that?"

She then peaked back into Matt's room without him looking, to see the rare orange bird with a blood red mane. One which looked a lot like Valentino's.

"Oh. I see the resemblance." said Loona. She didn't really want to admit it out loud, but secretly, she admired this particular species of bird.

She walked into his room towards it, not helping the feeling to give him some little scratches.

"Eh, I suppose one inspection wouldn't hurt." she shrugged to herself before walking speaking to it. "May I?"

"Bawk!"

"I'll just take that as a maybe." she shrugged as she started giving Blood Orange some little scratches through his feathers with one of her fingers, making it let out one trembly squawk.

"Hehehhehe." giggled Loona. She soon stopped a few seconds later just to remain discrete, and then walked away from the room.


Meanwhile, Balin and Matt were taking a break from their studies by reading some books, both of which were fairytales.

Balin's fairytale was 'The Little Mermaid', and Matt's was 'The Frog Prince.'

Loona peaked through the study door to see both of them reading to their little hearts' content, using her hunter instincts to make sure they didn't see her. She had a rather cheeky idea on how to enter.

*Knock, knock.*

"Come in!" smiled Balin and Matt together.

Loona then strutted into the study room like a model, tracing her fingers down her chin.

"Hey boys. Aren't you two supposed to be... studying?" she teased in a seductive tone, making the boys blush bright red.

Loona then laughed, thinking about how adorable it was seeing those two 7-year-old boys looking up at her dazed.

"I'm kidding with you two." she chuckled, as she sat on the bed in between the two. "You boys doing okay?"

"Yes Loona." replied Balin. She then noticed him reading The Little Mermaid and decided to play around some more.

"Uh, Balin? Isn't that a girl's story?" she smirked at him. "...Kind of?" he replied sheepishly.

Loona then gave him some cheek tickles with her little human nose to get him to change his mind. This just made Balin giggle instead, while Matt found the moment adorable.

"OK, OK, Loona." he continued giggling. "I'll read a different book."

Balin then started reading a different fairytale book. 'Gossip Wolf and the Fox'.

"What's that one about?" Loona asked him in a chuckle. "I never heard of this story before."

"Me neither." added Matt.
