Papa, Mama, and all the kids took off into the bright sunlight. The sun was new to them. Their home on the Moon had always been in the dark. Others had told them stories of a light brighter than their tails but none of them had ever seen it. Now, it hurt their eyes to see something so bright.
It was also weird to be flying in this place. Their wings worked so much better than they worked on the Moon. They could really fly fast. Anytime one of the kids strayed away too far, Mama warned them to stay close. What dangers could there be in this strange place? They all worried about that answer.
Diamond looked around and saw nothing but these tall things that seemed to grow straight up as high as they could see. Everything here was just so different. What cruel thing had left their family in a place like this. Life was suddenly so much different. How would they ever figure it all out.
