Steve: Thanks for coming with me today, kid, it’s good to get to know you a bit more. Been wanting to do that for a while now.

Fred: Sure, anytime, sir! It’s great to be flying around the mountains with my best friends.

Steve: Absolutely, it’s great. It’s nice to have you as a friend. You’re so full of energy, you’re making me feel 30 years younger, and I'm an old veteran who retired 10 years ago! I almost forgot flying can be so much fun before I saw you at the airfield for the first time, though I really wasn’t impressed with you at first…

Fred: Yeah, I don’t know what was into me, I guess I kinda wanted to impress you with what I can do, but I got what I deserved in the end. I'm sorry.

Steve: No need to apologize, you're good, man. You came a long way since I met you and it’s really amazing to have you progress so rapidly. I remember it was just yesterday that you started skydiving, and now you’re in the mountains doing proximity flying and all that stuff. You’re one brave little eagle, Fred, and you have some great personality. And you're a talented flyer and have a good amount of flying techniques! Keep that up, I'm sure that'll bring you somewhere!

Fred: Aww, Thank you sir! It really makes me happy to hear that. Especially from a flight veteran like yourself. I just love having fun in the air doing flips and rolls and all that fun stuff! It’s so addictive, I think I'm going to die while doing backflips when I'm old.

Steve: Oh, it's great seeing you high up in the sky with a big smile on your face doing what you love, that makes me so happy… Speaking of flying, I can show you a place where you can perfectly practice your in-flight moves and improve your flight skills to perfection! Wanna see it?

Fred: Sure! show me!

Steve: Then just follow me! *flaps wings open and leaps skywards*

Fred: *flies up and follows Steve*

Yeah, sorry for the long dialogue, had to add it in.

Here’s the first picture from the poll, which was the most requested one! Steve invited Fred on a nice flight trip into the wilderness, to get to know him better and generally have a chat with his friend. Here they are sitting on a rock by a lake, next to a hiking trail, exchanging their thoughts. :)
Steve tries to be like a 2nd father to Fred, as he’s still young and has a lot to learn, so he’s kind of like a caretaker in a certain way too. And Fred is always eager to hear a new life lesson from him, or eager for him to teach him a new move or flight discipline.
It feels nice to develop their relationship further, I think these two have a lot of potential together. Hope you like them. :)
