*Zera and Vera stand outside, waiting for The Flaming Fates' arrival...*

Zera: *stands in silence, watching the horizon*

Vera: *is ruining the silence by chasing a butterfly*

...

*moments pass... As finally, a familiar Zeraora appears on the horizon... Thunderheart*

Zera: *waves*

Thunderheart: *smiles, and waves back*

Vera: *finally catches on, and sees Thunderheart, now waving extremely fast*

Thunderheart: *chuckles* How have y'all been Zera?

Zera: We've been swell, thanks for asking... How about you?

Thunderheart: Hm, well let's see... I'm doing really well.

Vera: Gehe! I'm glad it's been good! :3

Thunderheart: Hi Vera

Vera: Haii :3

Thunderheart: I'm uh- Guessing you want a hug?

Vera: Ohhh you know me sooo well!
*hugs Thunderheart tightly*

Thunderheart: Ack! Ok ok! I get it, you missed me.

*and at that moment, the rest of The Flaming Fates arrive... Riding Blazefire as a way of flight and travel*

Vera: *lets Thunderheart go, and giggles*

Zera: Hello, everyone else.

Hayden: Sup

Sundew: Hello again, Zera

Zera: Heh, hi guys...

Vera: Gehe!! Hiiiii everyoneee!

Silver: Hi Vera

Vera: Hiii Silverrr!

Zera: Uh-- Vera, don't hug them all at once now, ok?

Vera: Aww.... Ok...

Blazefire: So... I'm guessing we have a lot to catch up on?

Zera: Indeed
