Snowberry was exited. She was finally leavening her incubator! After a year of having featherless, her robot teacher, as her only social life, she was glad to finally be able to make new friends. As she marched aboard the helicopter, she noticed the other ducks boarding with her. They must be from my incubator, she thought. Three ducks were marching with her, one of them had white feathers, green eyes, and scruffy top-feathers. Another was hazel with a cream colored belly, and green-eyed determination.The last was cream colored with happy blue eyes and a forward wedge.
"Hi there" squealed the one with exited green eyes, " what's your name? Mine's Jadie by the way."
"Snowberry" Said Snowberry.
"That's a pretty name!" Jadie exclaimed. "Boo!" Someone shouted.
"Ahhh" Snowberry screamed, jumping and flapping her wings.
"Gotcha" said the hazel duck with a cream belly, laughing his tail feathers off. Snowberry frowned a ducky frown. "And who might you be", she inquired, " obviously you needed a better teacher"
" I ", He said dramatically, " am nutmeg, please call me nuts."
" Gladly " Snowberry giggled with Jadie. Nuts laughed right along with them.
" Can we go meet the other girl now?" Jasie asked. They all turned to look at the cream duck with sparkling blue eyes sitting behind them. She grinned at them, then let out a soft quack
" I was wondering when you would notice me " she laughed. Hopping up, the cream colored duck waddled over to the group of newly-made friends.
" My name is vanilla, by the way "
" Hi "
"Hello"
" Quack!"
Every ducky giggled at nuts's greeting.
As the giggles died down, a brown duck with soft brown eyes ushered them into the waiting helicopter. " we're taking off soon, get in!" He said.

Snowberry watched as the place she grew up in faded into the distance. She knew she wouldn't miss it. Jadie hopped up beside her next to the window. " It feels weird to know that you teacher-bot will be given to the next duckling to occupy its room."
Snowberry nodded, and snuggled up next to Jadie. " Off to a life of racing " she whispered.
