"Hi, I'm Star." The swallow-tailed gull extended its wing towards Kitty, foolishly expecting the gesture to be reciprocated.
"He-hey!" Kitty laughed, throwing her head back. "That's a cool trick ya pulled there!" She motioned towards the shards of glass that lay on the floor and sparkled in the candle light like very, very dangerous glitter.
"Oh, I didn't really mean to-" Star was interrupted by the sound of another glass shattering as Kitty swept her own glass off the table.
"I like the way you party," the kittiwake chirped with a smirk and a wink. She glanced around the restaurant. "Although..." she lowered her voice and leaned in close, covering her beak with a wing,"... it seems like this crowd ain't our speed."
Star turned and grimaced at the sight of a waiter approaching.
"Come on, let's go some place else. I know some folks that that can really bring some
spice to a night like this." She swatted their shoulder and took flight, soaring directly past the waiter's face. Star anxiously followed, steering wide of the waiter for fear that they might catch it.
Kitty Wake met them atop a light post just outside of the restaurant. "You gotta loosen up a bit! Look at ya!"
Star was visibly shaken and its eyes were wide. It trembled slightly with adrenaline. "Shouldn't we go back?"
"Whaaat? No way! We've got places to go! 'Sides, wasn't that fun?"
"Um..."
She prodded them with her foot. "Say it! I could see it all over your face!"
"That... was fun." It risked a smile. Kitty grinned wide.
"Now we're making progress! Let's go, it ain't even dark yet!"
The two gulls took off together. In the morning, the two of them would wake up to the news of mischief that trailed them.
And that would just be the beginning.
