Devon was woken up by Artie and Petrie landing in the cave. He too noticed that he no longer had a pillow to sleep on. "HOLY HOLA DONUT!!! WHERE THE HECK IS MY DAD????" he freaked out, going wide eyed. "Oh no...I've seen this before...SOMEBODY STOLE MY DAD!!!!!!!"

Joe too was awakened by the presence of Artie and Petrie. "Devon, calm down. I'm sure he's..." he stopped there, as he no longer could come up with the right words to say.

Chomper was actually relieved that he spent the day with Artie picking flowers. He figured if he stayed behind that morning, he'd probably be the first one to get an accusation when Pterano turned up missing.

"Do you think...Redback ate him? Where is he, anyway?" Chomper asked the group of dumbfounded flyers.

Devon thought about what Chomper said, and he placed his hands on his claws. "Oh no...it's worse than I thought! REDBACK ATE MY DAD!!!!!!!" Then the blue flyer clenched his fists in anger. "I AM GOING TO KILL HIM!!!!!!"

Joe nudged his back with his head. "Devon, calm down! Redback wasn't even with us last night. He was with all the other flyers picking out flowers. And if there WAS a possibility that he ate your father...with the flyers busy hunting and picking, just how would he be able to get up here?"

Devon glared at him, clenching his fists at him. But then he placed his fist down, realizing that Joe had a point. He sighed. "This is all too confusing for me..."

"Devon... please..calm down....it's ok. I don't know where Pterano disappeared to either..and besides, it wouldn't be like Redback to just go and eat Pterano." said Jared, shrugging his shoulders...

"But still..I wonder where Pterano went to?" he asked, feeling a little puzzled.

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #644 on:** August 03, 2011, 08:08:01 PM

(Wow... :blink: I didn't have to wait very long now did I?

)

"Well whatever happened to him...I think we all should still pay our respects to Pterano...he deserves it more than I do..." Artie said, bowing down her head along with everyone else. Just then...

"Oh, hi everyone! What'd I miss?"

Everyone went wide eyed and they turned to the direction of the voice...the very familiar voice. They couldn't believe their eyes and if there was a world record for the world's biggest jaw drops, they would all be tied up in first place. Standing before them was none other than the one and only...

"Pterano?" Artie said, dumbfounded.

"Yeah, I woke up and it was like a ghost valley in here. So I just thought I'd go ahead and get me some breakfast." He sighed, leaning against the cave. "Whew! Who knew that after a while, flying would take alot of energy!"

Everyone just stared at him, dropping the flowers they had, still too shocked to say anything. "What? Are you just gonna stand there or come and give me a hug?" Pterano opened his arms as he knew what was coming.

"DAAAADDD!!!!!!!!" Devon was the first to act as he rammed himself into Pterano, throwing his arms around his neck, nuzzling him gently. Pterano couldn't help but chuckle as he wrapped his arms around his son's waist, pulling him in closer.

"Well...hello there, my son." Pterano said, tightening his grip on Devon.

Despite his unconscious state, his labored breathing and his raging fever Fury could somehow just 'feel' the emotions of those around him. After several seconds of trying to figure out exactly what his body was doing, he mentally realized he didn't care, as he spoke while still unconscious, having no control over his body or voice, with the latter having a coarse echo-like sound to it. "He returns to us now, stronger than... b-before as he mocks death... f-for it is... not so easy to claim.... a child... born to... t-the sky!" The young glider coughed then fell silent again, sleeping peacefully.

Jared RAN right over to Pterano! He was so HAPPY! He jumped up and down with joy!

"Pterano! You're ALIVE! AWWWHHH!" said the tan rhamphorhynchus as he gave the red pteranodon a huge hug!

"I-I-I-I-I-I thought y-y-you were dead! Ohhh Pterano...i'm so happy you're alive...and so is Devon, Petrie, Harper, Artie......we ALL are!!"

"DYOOHHHHHHHH!!!"

said Jared, burying his head into Pterano's chest.. "I'm SO HAPPY AND RELIEVED that you're ok!" he smiled.

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #647 on:** August 04, 2011, 12:15:30 AM

Pterano couldn't help but chuckle as he wrapped an arm around the tan rhamphorhynchus below him. "Well, I'm glad to see you too, Jared."

Devon, equally as happy as Jared, couldn't help but scoot himself closer to his father. He really loved him. To Devon, he was the best father a son would ever ask for. He was kind, caring and understanding. Devon just couldn't lose him. He couldn't bare it. Pterano just couldn't die...not now.

He burried his face deep into Pterano's chest as he felt the red flyer's arm tighten around him and his beak rest on his head.

Mama's Girl · **Reply #648 on:** August 04, 2011, 10:42:38 AM

Even as she turned in shock of her own, Harper caught that Fury said something, she just wasn't sure what. Well it showed he'd be ok at least. She smiled and then turned to dart over to Pterano at the same time as Petrie as the two also hugged him.

"You...you ok" was all Petrie could say in relief as he hugged his uncle.

"Yeah" Harper smiled, "But...how?". She was relieved of course, but also confused.

Pterano · **Reply #649 on:** August 04, 2011, 10:57:13 AM

Sierra rolled his eyes, inwardly relieved to see Pterano getting better, but he also knew that it was just like him to do something along these lines. Even in death he couldn't escape the theatrics. "Sheesh... rather typical, wouldn't ya say?" he mumbled to no one in particular.

He watched as his son went over to Pterano, and buried his face into his chest. Maintaining a stolid face, the flyer simply watched the scene unfold.

Rinkus too was going through some emotions, though much different than Sierra's. He was instead wiping his eyes, and sniffling a little at the breaking of the condition that had gripped Pterano. Jared was over there, and Rinkus patiently waited for everyone to stop crowding the flyer.

Sierra approached his son from behind now, and cleared his throat. "Ahem... yeah... great you're doing better Pterano... but mind if I have a word with Devon?" he asked.

Redback had entered, not far behind the others. Carrying a bunch of flowers in paw, he was as shocked as anyone when he heard the others shouting about Pterano's body disappearing. His shock was complete when he overheard Devon's lament, and accusations against him. Why would HE eat Pterano?! What reason would I have, he thought to himself.
As he entered the caves, ready to give Devon a piece of his mind, he was even more shocked to see Pterano's form flying over him into the cave entrance.

As he entered the caves, he smiled with relief as he saw Pterano reacquainting with his family and friends. It was always heartwarming to see such a thing.

But as he watched, he saw Sierra trying to draw Devon to the side. he stepped forwards, frowning slightly.

"Hold on a second there, devon. before you go, I think you owe someone an apology."

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #651 on:** August 04, 2011, 01:30:35 PM

Devon looked at Redback, shocked. He heard me? Well...I might as well. He broke from Pterano's hug and turned to face the sailback. "I'm sorry, Redback for accusing you for something you didn't even do. It's just I was confused. I had no idea what had happened to Pterano. I was just so worried. Can you forgive me?"

Well now that's done and over with, might as well go talk to my dad. He went with Sierra. "Sure, what is it?" he asked.

Pterano hugged his nephew and niece along with Jared in his arms. "Well, Harper, Mr. Joe over there," he signalled to Joe with his beak. "handed me a flower and told me it would make me feel better if I ate it. So I did and the next thing I knew, I was soaring high in the sky searching for-" He was cut off when...

"PTERANO!!!!!" Artie shouted in extreme excitement as she too rammed herself into Pterano, thrwoing her arms around his neck, sending him on his back to the ground, with Petrie, Jared, Harper and her, piled right on top of him.

"Ooof!" Pterano chuckled as he extended his arm around her. "Well, hello there, Artie."

Joe chuckled at the sight. "Well I'll be...it really is him." he muttered to himself.

(Dang...how long have I been aleep? :blink: )

Pterano · **Reply #652 on:** August 04, 2011, 01:37:43 PM

"Well uh... see... after that whole incident... it showed me just how much you really care about Pterano there." he said, speaking in low tones so that the conversation would mostly just be kept between himself and his son. "Anyway... you were on the verge of panic... you must... really love him, huh?" he asked, half turning his head to regard his son.

"I can see that he's going to be a far better pops than I ever could be... or ever was for that matter. I think the time has come for me to leave you with him... and just... move on with my life, I guess. You'll have a good home with him... and I... well I'll be finding my own... things in life, I suppose. That uh... OK with you?" he asked, his tone still low, and he let his wings hang to his side now.

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #653 on:** August 04, 2011, 01:46:29 PM

"Yes I do. I love him so much...wait a minute! You're leaving?" Devon suddenly realized where his father was getting at.

Pterano, hearing the whole thing, poked his head up. "Wait, you're leaving Sierra? You don't have to do that! We have plenty of room!" Pterano told him.

Pterano · **Reply #654 on:** August 04, 2011, 01:52:12 PM

He gave his son a solemn nod. Pterano overheard Devon's words however, and Sierra had to face the flyer now.

"Wellll I guess you do, Pterano. But the thing is, you and Devon got something pretty good... and real for that matter. I'd just be getting in the way of that. I don't want to be cramping you two or anything. You showed up with Devon and things started changing. I wasn't expecting to see my son again so soon, and after all this, I figure maybe you and him would want to have a real father and son relationship... without me gettin' in the way of anything. I sees it that I lost the right to raise my son years ago, and you earned it." he told the flyer.

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #655 on:** August 04, 2011, 01:58:36 PM

"Is this what you want, Sierra?" Pterano asked, gasping under all the wieght. "Okay guys, Uncle Pterano's gotta get up." He said, gently pushing the four flyers off of him and he stood up to Sierra.

"Sierra, you don't have to go, but if you really want to, I can't stop you. So if you want to go, at least say goodbye to everyone around here. For starters, come and give me a hug!" Just then the unthinkable happened as Pterano pulled the brown flyer into a hug.

Pterano · **Reply #656 on:** August 04, 2011, 02:07:28 PM

"Ooof!" Sierra gasped as Pterano pulled him in for a hug. "Uhh... what are you doin', Pterano?" he asked, wriggling a little to try and get free, though his wings were pinned to his sides.

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #657 on:** August 04, 2011, 02:11:00 PM

"Look, I know hugs aren't your thing, but might as well, since we're saying goodbye now aren't we?" Pterano pointed out as he moved his arms so Sierra's wings were no longer pinned.

"Oh, just hug him already, Dad." Devon told his biological father. "Ya know ya want to."

Pterano · **Reply #658 on:** August 04, 2011, 02:14:22 PM

"Well... I suppose but... still... you know this... ain't really my thing." Sierra said, shifting in Pterano's grasp. "Look uh... I don't really know how to say this but just... take care of him, alright?" Sierra said, hugging Pterano back, albeit uneasily.

trulyfantasticme · **Reply #659 on:** August 04, 2011, 02:18:23 PM

"Of course." Pterano replied, pulling away with a smile. Then he began to speak in his Texan accent that had rubbed off on him. "Ya'll best come back again, ya hear?"

Devon couldn't help but chuckle. Pterano had no idea at just how rediculous he sounded with that Texan accent. "I taught him that." he declared, placing an arm around the red flyer.
