Moon's View
After hearing the argument and then fight between Winter and Qibli, Moon was upset. How could they fight like that over her? She wasn't anything special. Aside from her powers of course. But no one knew about those. And how could they "claim" her. She didn't even know how she felt about the rest of her winglet, much less them.
She had a giant headache, as the resentment and anger between Winter and Qibli was transmitting itself to her via her mind reading. Right now she decided to just go to bed and sleep for the night.
The next morning Winter was gone but it was still really early, the sun had barely risen and class wasn't on for another 1-2 hours it looked like. So Moon decided to do some homework, the only one she had now was some History on the War.
Huh this is surprisingly interesting. I always thought that the Mudwings had destroyed the Seawings palace. But it was actually the Skywings. And they used some sort of cactus, which is flammable and explodes!? Wow that sounds really destructive. But apparently a small group of Icewings that sided with Scarlet and Burn had also helped, and done most of the destruction to the other dragons, while the Skywings burned the palace.
MAYBE THAT'S WHY SHARK ATTACKED WINTER? MAYBE HE LOST SOMEONE IN THE ATTACK AND SAW A LONE ICEWING TO TAKE REVENGE ON?
Moon decided to go exploring and visit the cave she and Winter had gone to clean up. Maybe she could see this Electric Eel. But when she got there the other teachers were already there and were trying, cautiously to get the Eel out, holding it in a net but being careful not to touch it. Moon wandered some more.

Moon decided to go visit the library since there was still an hour until school started. When she got there she found an absolutely captivating book called "The Extra Individual". It was about how dragons who felt they were the third wheel in anything, school/group projects, friendships, or more often felt more sad and less motivated for hundreds of reasons. When there was 20 minutes before class she borrowed it using the new book borrowing system, thanked Starflight and left.
She went to Chemistry next and slowly the other's in her winglet poured in. Then Clay made an announcement. He said that for the rest of the year there would be pairs of dragons working together. Of course pairs may work with other pairs on special occasions. The pairs were:
Qibli and Carnelian, Turtle and Kinkajou, Moon and Winter. When Moon heard this her heart jumped a little but she didn't know why.
Also the other winglet's partners included Icicle and Big Tail, along with Flame and Tamarin. Moon was worried for the small rainwing as she didn't know if Flame would hurt her or be mean to her. Later on near the end of the class, Clay told them their year project. So far they have been learning about cells, and the things that make them such as a nucleus.
Also, Moon realised, Winter had not had any negative thoughts about being partnered with her. Maybe they could be friends. Now they had to do some quick work, just to revise what they'd learnt. They would swap with their partner and grade the other's work.
Moon's of course was perfect, while Winter got two things wrong. He didn't seem grateful she had pointed out his mistake but under his breath, he said a small thank you.
This year they were tasked with making a replica of a cell, using the information they learn in class to add onto it as homework every lesson.
Now Moon was wandering the corridors, since it was the end of the day and no one was around so she could relax. Then she felt someone slam into her, and saw the hostile eyes of Flame. He threatened her and asked if she told anyone what he had done.
When she said no, he relaxed slightly and explained what he had. It was a powdered Dragonviper venom, it was very painful but not deadly in any way. Then he let Moon go, cackling at her how if she told anyone now she would be even more in trouble. Because the powder could be quite deadly if ingested...
Moon went back to her cave. It seemed like Winter was still out so she let the tears out. She cried and cried until she went to sleep, because she was so scared of what would happen to her if she told anyone about Flame.
