Moon looked down at her letter to Sunny and sighed. It still wasn't completed. She saw her wrists and smiled at the bracelets encircling them.

Moon was on a pavilion, gazing down at talons, waiting for Qibli, nervous that he wasn't here yet. 'He's going to miss the sunset!' Thought Moon, who was still very worried and jumpy. Just then, she heard a soft whoosh and a slight thud. She turned around smiling, relived that Qibli was finally there, but then instantly concerned. He had his skyfire on. He grinned and said, not so apologetically, "Sorry I'm late, I had to pick something up along the way." Then, sensing something wrong, he asked carefully, "Moon, is there a problem?" Moon blinked, several times, and then said, embarrassed, "Oh, sorry, it's, um.. just that... Well, you're wearing you skyfire, you, uh... usually have it on..." and then quickly added, "Sorry if it sounds like I'm trying to invade your privacy, it's, just that, well... it's a little abnormal for you to have it on..." Qibli looked surprised, astonished that Moon would say something like that. "Moon. Look at me. You can tell me anything, alright? You know that. We've been together for about 2 years? Trust me." Moon looked at him, wondering what she did to have such a wonderful boyfriend. Qibli gave her an excited face. "Look what I got you." He held out his talons, holding a set of 4 simple, but elegant wristbands, made of Onyx, painted on the edges and insides with gold. Moon was shocked, and curious. "Where did you get those?" Qibli pressed a claw to her snout. "Shhh... that's a secret. And besides! It doesn't matter! All that matters is that they are yours." His face cracked a smile as he said, "Turtle enchanted them to keep the wearer safe, and free from any harm." Moon was puzzled. "The wearer?" Qibli only said, "Shhh. You'll understand sooner or later." Moon gave a small smile and put the bracelets on, touching his wingtip with hers. As the last light of day faded away, Qibli asked her a question. "MoonWatcher of  The NighWings, you are an amazing, beautiful dragon that I would like to spend the rest of my life with, will you marry me?"
Moon squealed with delight and tackled him. "Of course I will you sand-snorter!" She answered loudly and batted the side of his head with her talon. Qibli, still squashed underneath Moon's weight, jokingly said, "Right, stupid question, I probably shouldn't have asked." Moon got off and thumped him on the head with her tail. "It's not a stupid question! It's more like the most important question of my life!" Qibli then—

Moon was startled out of her memory by a yell from Qibli. "Moon! Ack! Help! What am I supposed to do now!?" Moon sighed and rolled her eyes. Qibli couldn't cook to save his life. She flew outside to see that the campfire has spread everywhere around Qibli, and he was panicking. Moon blinked a few times, and whirled inside, grabbed a bucket, and flew as fast as she could to the nearest river, all the while yelling, "Help! My hut is on fire!" Kinkajou and Turtle came of course, along with some startled NightWings and worried RainWings, all carrying water buckets.
As soon as they got to the hut they started pouring it all over the fire, dousing the flames. When the fire was out, Moon said, "Thank you, oh, and, I forgot to mention, My husband was on fire as well, but that wasn't very important." A few of the RainWings tittered, as Qibli shot them a deadpan glare.
—————————
Everyone had left, except one RainWing. Moon noticed something different about her, and asked her to stay for a while. The new dragon looked startled, saying, "I would love to stay, but I really need to get back to my dragonets. I- oh, just come over here."
Moon didn't know where 'here' was, but curiosity won the better of her and she followed the purple RainWing into a secluded area with trees pretty much everywhere and no huts or treehouses around. The RainWing did one last check to make sure there was no one around and let her purple fall. In the blink of an eye, the purple dragon transformed into Glory, analyzing MoonWatcher.

Moon blinked, and was very pleased. "Glory! It's like you never left! Where have you been hiding?! Wait. Hold up. You said you have dragonets?!" Glory quickly shushed her, and whispered, "You're going to let the entire rainforest know I'm here! Including the Assassin that wants to kill me AND the certain Former NightWing Assassin that I want to sorta avoid!" Glory paused for a moment, and then quickly added, "But yes, I do have dragonets that could be in all sorts of trouble by now!"

Glory, of course, was married to Deathrbinger. It was a very non-mermorable one, not very showy, only Glory's friends, and the Jade winglet were invited, held in the very place that Glory and MoonWatcher were standing right now. Moon's real question was though;

"Their father is Deathbringer, right?"
Glory nodded. Moon heaved a sigh of relief, but then was instantly worried again. "Are you taking them to see him? You know the risk of that. There could be a mistake or Deathbringer might recognize you and then realize that—" She was cut off. "It's alright. I have it under control. They need to see him one day or another, and learn how to fly through the Rainforest." Glory gave Moon a grin and then said in the snootiest voice she could manage, "Have faith in you former Queen, this really is wounding."
Moon smiled, and whispered, "Alright, good luck. I would really love to meet them one day."
Glory nodded, and said, "I won't forget."
She flew off.
