The finch ruffled his feathers and shot into the air, "after you malady." He bowed sloppily and spread his wing to point the way. (Which happened to he the wrong way.)

Amber grinned as she took flight and clipped his wing with hers to spin him around. "Other way." She smirked. Amber angled into the wind.

"Oh," Oliver said dumbstruck. "I knew that." He followed behind her, yellow feathers orange in the noon sun.

"Sure you did." Amber teased. She looked down at him. An idea crossed her clever little mind. She arched back and did a loop right over Oliver's head. Disappearing behind him. Her plan was to come up right under him and know him of balance. Gently of course, she wasn't gonna hurt him. He was too cute for that.

Oliver watched the black and fire feathered bird dive over him. He flipped around to see if she was behind him. No...hmm. When he flipped over again he felt a nudge on his wing, making him wobble and spiral down. He stated silent and tucked in his wings into a dive. The bright yellow streak zoomed towards the ground at a frightening pace. Soon before he crashed he opened his little fan-like wings and he rose into the air. Oliver laughed loudly as adrenaline pumped through him.

Amber laughed at the bird bravery. She folded her wings and followed. She spiraled down towards him and did a gentle flip over his back. She sang a song while flying. One of fire. She twisted and looped around him in a dance, inviting him to join.

Following his heart for the first time, in what seemed like forever, Oliver joined in. His sweet voice mixed with her rich one. He spun around, letting his wings follow gracefully. He looped around her, and let his feathers brush hers.

Amber watched the yellow bird melt into her dance and song like a melody. "And I see fire, inside the mountain. I see fire, burning the trees. And I see fire- hollowing souls." The firebird herself flew up directly at the sun and turned backwards in a graceful dive. She spiraled sharply back down to where Oliver was.

Finch twisted and turned, "I see a flame dancing in the night sky, I see a flame leaping to the stars, I see a flame leaving no scars." He sung and beat his wings to the rhythm of his heart.

Amber chirped a gentle harmony to his song. "If this is to end in fire, the we shall all burn together." The she-bird slowed at this. Horrible memories flickering in her eyes. 'What am I doing!' She looked up at Oliver. Furious with herself she stopped dancing and singing and stubbornly flew in a straight line. She was a thief and a survivor. Thieves don't have fun, and survivors are somber.

Oliver was about to sing another line, but when she zoomed off into the sky. He flapped there, confusion clouding his mind. He flapped after her slowly.

"You can continue if you want. You sing nicely." Amber said. She weaved I between the air currents. "Hey! I see the village!" Banking off towards it Amber flew into the main tree where the was a congregation of birds. All chirping and singing at the same time. (Like a market square.)"Don't get lost." Amber yelled over the din.

Oliver's mood quickly lightened as hundreds of other birds came into veiw. Every color if the rainbow was there. Red cardinals, orange tanagers, yellow finches like him, green flightless parrots, blue birds of paradise, and purplish-black ravens. He chirruped happily and flew into the crowds, not hearing Ambers warning. "You there? Care for some pine nuts?!" A starling shouted out his wares, Oliver shook his head. "No thank you sir!"

Amber spotted Oliver wandering off. She hopped after him. Rapping her beak sharply on his head. "Hey! Pecker head, I said don't run off and get lost!" The fire breasted she-bird turned to stick her head up over the vendors. "There is a Navigator! Lets go talk to him." Amber nudged her yellow partner and moved through the crowd. She kept low hoping nobody would recognize her.

"Fine fine!" Oliver winged after her. The crowds aren't very nice. "Get out of my way!" "Watch where youre going!" "Hands off my pine nuts!"
The finch cringed and flinched away from them only to bump into another.
