I walked down the path, flicking my tail. The air smelled of rain and sweet lilacs, the wind blowing slightly. I walked until I reached the pond. The pond was decent sized and not very deep. It was surrounded by trees and flower bushes, closing off any entry way except the tiny opening that connects to the path. I slipped off my coat and shorts as I had a swimsuit underneath. I shook, my wings dropping a feather or two, then swoly walked into the water. I swam around for a bit, poking my head underwater sometimes to look at the fish, then dove completely under. I swam around gracefully, using my wings to help me guide through the water. I swam to the surface and shook my head, shaking water off my ears and hair. I swam over to the bank and got out of the water, shaking the water off my wings and tail. I went and sat down on a fallen tree, fluttering my wings so they'd dry off faster and I could fly home. I got up and stretched, my wings folding out to full length, when I heard someone whistle. I quickly looked toward the person, they were quite tall and had brown fluffy hair. I grabbed a dagger out of my bag, threw it at them, which pinned them to a tree, grabbed my stuff quickly, then I spread out my wings and flew away, my face red. With anger or embarrassment, I couldn't tell which. When I got home I crash landed a bit, as my wings hadn't fully dried. Standing up and brushing off my now cut up knees, I walked to my house, and threw open my door. Kade was there and he looked up at me, tilting his head "You okay? Your legs are all cut up and your face is red! Not to mention you are still almost completely soaked." I grumbled and threw my stuff on the floor, "Don't worry about it, it's nothing." He flicked his tail and jumped up onto the table, "Nothing my butt. Something definitely happened, I thought you said you were just going for a swim?" I sighed, pulling some bandaids out from a cupboard in the kitchen, "I DID just go swimming, I just had to hurry and leave, that's it.'' I sat down at the table and started to put the bandaids on my bruised and cut up knees. "Uh-huh, sure. Then why is your face all red, hm?" He said looking at me amused. I thought back to that guy who whistled at me, he was quite handsome, and my face turned red again. "Shut up, Kade!" I said shooing away his shadow formed body. He snickered and disappeared. I finished bandaging my legs and threw away the garbage. I then made my way upstairs to the bathroom to take a shower. After my shower I took a while to dry my wings, ears, and tail off. Then I got dressed in my suit. I brushed out my hair, went downstairs, grabbed my bag, and went outside. I spread open my wings, fluttering them a bit, then I run and jump, bursting myself into the sky. I smiled, I loved flying, I always felt so free. It took a while but I eventually got to my work place, Las Navadas. I walked inside and headed towards the bar, as I was the bartender. I hear someone calling my name and look to see who it is, I smile "Hey Slime!" He runs up and hugs me "Hi, Flik from the wild!" I laugh and pat his head "Y'know you can just call me Flik, silly" He stops hugging me and smiles "Oh! Okay, Flik!" I smile and tell him he should probably get to his post. He nods and waves while running off "Bye, Flik from the wild!" I internally shake my head, I laugh and turn on the bar lights and start getting everything ready. It's halfway through the night and people are surrounding the bar. I hate nights when there are so many people. I keep the talk between me and customers to a minimum as to not over stimulate myself. Everything was going fine, no fights, people left me alone unless they were asking for a drink, and no one tried to flirt with me. It seemed like this shift was going to be okay. Until I saw him, the tall dude with the fluffy hair. "Welp. I'm dead." I thought to myself, before I saw Slime come over to take over the bar, I thanked XD in my head and rushed to the brake room. Quickly shutting the door when I got inside. "What are you all panicked for, love?" Quackity asked and I jumped. "What the hell man! You scared me, gesus!" I slumped down into one of the chairs on the other side of the table from Quackity. "Sorry sorry, but seriously, what are you so tense for, hm?" I laid my head down on the table, my wings slumping. "Nothing, just over stimulated, I guess." He reached across the table and patted my head, "Aww you poor puppy." I smacked his hand away, "Shut up, you stupid duck." I stuck out my tongue at him. He laughed, "Well I better get going, Slime boy may need some help." "Yeah, you get out there, duck man." I smirked. He walked around the table, spreading out his tiny golden wings and hitting me in the head with them. I then quickly spread out my wings, hitting him in the side. We both laughed and he left the break room. I kept my head down and eventually fell asleep. Upon waking up I realized it was 12am, I quickly jumped up, and left the break room. I went back to the bar and started to hand out drinks. 3 hours went by and it was closing time. I wiped down the bar and put away all of the cups. I sighed, running my hand through my hair then walked out of the building, Slime was outside waiting for me. "Hey, Flik for the wild!" I smiled "Hey, Slime." He looked at me "You seem sad, do you need a hug? Imma give you a hug!" He then hugged me and I hugged him back, as much as I didn't want to say it, I did need that hug. "Thank you, Slime." I said, he nodded and Quackity called him away to go home. I waved bye to them and then flew home.
