A loud noise wakes me. I look up and see the VIP room Rave chose yesterday. The room was pretty nice but Rave wasn't in the room which meant trouble.

    I stand up and hear some metal being thrown around.

I hear Rave's voice, "Oh hold your mouth I believe the sign says elders can stay for free."

    A what older female voice replies, "And you expect me to believe that you're an elder?! Not only that, you didn't sign in, you broke in which isn't allowed anywhere!"

Rave answers her while trying to dodge the stuff that was being thrown at her, "I'm older than this city that should qualify me as an elder! It's not my fault I look this young and handsome."

    The older woman shouts back, "Your stupid teenage lies won't bring you anywhere now pay up and get out!"

I decide to join in, "Rave just pay her, it's not like we're gonna do anything with the money."

    She looks me in the eyes and smiles, "Yeah, so about that. I might or might not have spent it all on alcohol."

A bit lost I ask her, "Why? alcohol doesn't even affect us."

    She jumps aside to dodge the next wave of things being thrown, "Yeah, I realized that after I got sober again."

I begin to walk towards her, "And when and how did you get drunk?"

    Before I notice it she jumped on my back, "Oh, I brought some liquor from the museum didn't I tell you?"

I start to run towards the first open window, "No, you did not. Anything else you want to tell me?"

    I feel the weight on my back disappear, "Nope." I see black feathers appear before me.

I look up and see her flying away. I spread my own wings and follow up after her, "Well that went great. We can go get the sword now right?"

    She laughs, "Yup."

We fly above the city. I look at Rave's black wings, they're beautiful.

    My wings are pretty similar; they have the same black feathers.

She chose to make her wings around 155% arm span, which was pretty nice. I liked longer wings. As in very long wings, wings that are four or five times arm span, they look so majestic.

    She turns around and starts flying backwards, "You ever gonna stop daydreaming?"

I answer her, "Are you ever gonna stop doing things that makes objectively hilarious trouble?" (make this transition better)

    Her eyes begin to stare me down, "So, you better tell me you have a plan for the sword?"

I fly some circles and answer her, "I told you my play yesterday."

    A laughs a bit, "If you're confident in the plan I'm okay with it." Then a smile appears on her face, "You wanna race to the sword?"

I laugh, "3, 2, 1, start" I begin to fly towards the giant sword and she follows after me.

The weather was pretty nice, there were some clouds but it was mostly sunny.

    I look behind me. Rave seems to be enjoying herself which was nice to see again.

She was the one who came up with the idea of the museum, but after we started working on it she started to feel depressed.

    I think I probably just got used to the sadness but she clearly couldn't handle it as well as me.

I look back to the sword ahead of us. I should figure out how to bring the sword back home in a stealthy-ish way.

Some light from the base of the sword blinds my left eye. Once I can see again I see some people putting explosives on the sword.

    Now I understood the plan for them to get sword pieces. They must've created some kind of bomb which they think can blow up the sword. Their plan was never gonna work, but I could use it to get the sword out of the ground.

I raise my voice a bit, "Hey rave? The plan now involves explosions you're gonna be in your element."

    "Oh, shut your mouth." Suddenly she appears in front of me. "Loser does the museum stuff for the sword."

She begins to races forward and I race after her. By the time I arrive, I see her standing on the ground already. I look at her, "That was cheating."

    She looks back, "Fight me."

"Fine, fine you win." I point towards the explosives, "See, explosions."

    She laughs, "This is gonna be fun."

I put my hand on her shoulder, "Okay, so here's what we're gonna do. I fly up to the handle of the sword, once I'm there I'll send a signal. Then you'll fire the explosives while I drag the sword out, then we'll fly away, it'll be easy."

    She keeps silent for a bit and then answers, "That will work, but what about the whole stealth part?"

I spread my wings and fly again, "We'll use the standard plan."

    Her wings disappear into the air. She begins to walk to the sword, "Yours or mine?"

"Both." I fly away before she can react, however, I hear a loud sound. I wasn't even in the air for a single second.

    Rave yells, "Aaaaaand kaboom! You got this Wolfy just fly a bit faster," I couldn't see it but she was probably smugging.

I fly faster until I reach the sword a few seconds later. I begin to grow my wings until they're about five times my body length, "Yup, It'll be easy."

    I start pulling at the sword and before I knew it I had accidentally thrown the sword a few kilometers high into the air.
