My paws barely grazed the soft, yet sharp blades of grass as I felt the wind pick me up within flight as I flapped my elongated wings. A smile plastered upon my muzzle as I closed my eyes for a moment as slowly, I lifted into the open air, free from the ground, free from the water, within my own elements now. Once I opened my eyes again, I looked up to the beautiful face of the moon gleaming upon me this night. Tonight was just, too perfect. A giggle escaped my lips as I kept flapping my wings to stay a-lift. I let out a light call and my ears swiveled back to hear the call of a far too familiar squirrel. His voice lighter than those of his species. I giggled as I slowly, turned to fly back to see him upon the grass, laying on his back waving to me. His exposed skull seeming to shimmer in the gentle light. I giggled and rolled my eyes as he, as usual, played dead. I swooped down and with my toe, I booped his hollow nose hole, before flying back up before I did a barrel roll into the grass. When I looked back he was sitting up and looking to me. Even though he was incapable of expression I could see the annoyance in his cute little milky eyes. I let out another call and flew up higher, and higher into the air. I could hear him calling to me again, he sounded much more distant than what I had imagined and stole a peek down, to see him flailing his hands in the air frantically, until his right hand flew off and landed onto the ground. I laughed and then BOOM!!
Everything seemed to freeze, A large force slammed into mine. I hadn't even noticed this said large body who was flying towards me until it was too late. We both spiraled down closer and closer to the ground, I opened my wings as quickly as I could to try to catch some air within the membranes, but all it really did was slow my inevitable crash some. Soon enough I had smacked muzzle first into the dirt. I didn't know which hurt more, my face, or my chest. After a few moments of coughing and spitting out mud and grass, I glanced to the "attacker" who seemed to be ok, seems his rather, large tail took most of his fall since he was laying directly on-top of it. His form was almost pitch black within the night's light. Except for the crimson eyes that stared at me with a look of shock and worry. "are you ok?" he asked. I nodded slowly, as I felt the fur all down my neck stand on end. "s-sorry!" I yelped, in worry that I angered him. "I-I wasn't paying attention" I muttered as I covered my face with my wings. The stranger didn't respond instead, he... touched my ear? I looked up at him confused, until I realized he was actually pulling off some grass and other bits of flora from my head. "it's fine... we both weren't paying attention" he laughed once he finished, a gentle smile upon his muzzle, exposing his glimmering white teeth. His canines seemed far to large for his breed, how, odd. I shrugged it off and smiled back to him. "y-you sure you're ok?" I asked as I lowered my wings some. He nodded and laughed. "I should be asking that to you! you're the one who just ate a mouth full of grit" He snickered, causing me to blush. I pouted and looked away in annoyance, only to rub my muzzle, the adrenaline that was pumping through me had finally started to wear off, and I was finally realizing how much my nose hurt. "by the way, what's your name?" He asked. I jumped from being pulled out of my train of thought "o-oh! I-I'm Cherry" I smiled awkwardly to the stranger. He smiled back as his left ear twitched. "I'm Whosy, nice to meet you, even if it's... under an awkward situation" He laughed and I rolled my eyes and smiled. "nice to meet you too" I smiled and he helped me back onto my paws. "well... I should probably head off, I uh... got someone waiting for me" He blushed before running off, and getting a good lift off, he was gone within the night sky. I smiled to him, and looked back to my friend who was frozen in place. His lower jaw had fallen off from shock, and he was still in the middle of picking up his dismembered for-paw that had flown off. I giggled and walked over to him, picked up his jaw and helped him put himself back together. "next time, warn me" I smiled, and he just let out a squeak in annoyance and turned away.

this was just a little story I made up of how Cherry and whosy might've first met. awkward, silly, and, slightly painful. Also, new fursona? maybe? we'll find out!
