Xiao Xiao looked out at the vast sky.
Even though it was gray-blue, with a gloomy cast to it,

Flying felt wonderful.

Xiao Xiao chuckled.
"You like it?"
He already knew Little White Fox did. Whenever she went to the Amusement Park, her eyes lit up, and she loved trying the more thrilling rides there. It wasn't surprising she'd enjoyed flying
