   "Yes. Morrowseer was Moonwatcher's father. Crazy as it sounds, he did care for me, in his own way." Secretkeeper said, delicately placing the two eggs back in her satchel.

   "However, five years into our relationship and three years after the brightest night, I told him I was with his egg. Biggest mistake of my life at that point."

   "He broke up with me, declaring very publicly that 'I have better things to do than care for a bunch of useless, baby dragonets'. Those were his exact words." Secretkeeper finished.

   The reactions of everyone was various. The two NightWings students who had entered the cave at the beginning of the explanation, as well as Moonwatcher, Fatespeaker, Starflight and Sunny were shocked. Clay and one of the SeaWing students were sympathetic. The three RainWings in the Center were puzzled at why anyone would say such hurtful things. The remaining SeaWings and Platinum looked indifferent, and Tsunami looked ready to claw someone's face off. Giving her daughter one last hug, Secretkeeper got ready to leave.

   "I hope you choose some good names. I'm deciding to let you name them." She said, then took off towards the Rainforest.

   That evening, former Prince Winter of the IceWings landed at the main entrance of the Academy, a bag of freshly plucked peaches bumping against his front right leg.

   When he entered the cave he now shared with Moonwatcher, Kinkajou and Sunset; he knew that something was up. Sunset was humming while writing a letter up on her ledge, Kinkajou seemed to be making what looked like a little toy and Moon was at her desk drawing and humming blissfully.

   "Hey guys, I got something for our Winglet after dinner." he said placing his bag on his bed and going over to Moon's desk.

   "Hey. Pyrriah to Moonwatcher, Winter's back." Kinkajou said in a singsong voice, waving her tail in front of Moon's snout.

   Breaking out of her blissful trance, Moonwatcher turned her head; drooping her wings enough for Winter to see the two scrolls of names: one in light pink ink, the other in light blue.

   "Hello Winter." she said, then realized he was staring at the lists. "Mom laid two more eggs. I'm going to be a big sister! She's also letting me name them!"

   "Really? That's great! Congratulations, I'm sure they'll be just as beautiful as you." Winter said, unknowingly grabbing her front talons.

   Suddenly, red-orange talons shoved him and he fell to the floor of their cave, accidentally pinning Moon under him. He took a few minutes to take in how pretty the NightWing was before blushing as blue as Tsunami's scales and helped Moon, who was blushing as red as a SkyWing, up off the floor.

   "I found a peach tree grove nearby the school." he said, still blushing. "I'll invinte the rest of our Winglet over and we can have a traditional IceWing treat."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   The WoF wiki says that IceWings would skewer fruits onto sticks and freeze them like popsicles. So they're basically gonna have peach popsicles.
