The night quickly came as my mother and my dad came back from their little expedition together. It was more like a date, both came giggling. My father was really good at telling jokes, always making her break her cool and calm demeanor by making her laugh out loud.
"And then when he stared at me all shocked, that one bird I told you about from before just zapped right above us, the flames it released burning all our clothes and leaving us completely naked in the middle of the village. Even worse, the bird managed to snap back the egg we stole from it!" My father laughed.
"I can't believe you would do something so stupid as to steal the egg from a Firebird, Allan! You and your cousin were really something else…" My mother couldn't stop giggling.
"Well he was a good cousin." My father smiled, although there was a slight melancholy on his eyes. "The best one I could have ever asked for…"
