Ashley walked into the owlery and looked around for Bandit. She couldn't see him amongst all the other owls.
'Bandit?!' She called out. The beautiful snowy owl flew graceful and towards her and landed on her out-stretched arm. Ashley stroked her while asking
'Do you feel like going for a little fly then Bandit?'
Ashley was starting to feel a little homesick and was starting to miss her boyfriend Dale who was back home. She wasn't sure how she'd be able to be away from him for so long if she already missed him after this short amount of time.
'I've got two letters for you to deliver. One's for Dale and the other's for Ross.' She decided it would be a better idea to send a letter to her older brother rather than her parents as they would most likely be too busy to read it.
'And make sure you do not leave Dale until he writes back. Peck him if you have to!' Ashley thought about Dale and how hard he found to say his feelings and imagined him sitting for hours trying to think of what to write back while Bandit kept pecking at him, she let out a little giggle.
'Off you go then,' she said. Bandit took off and Ashley watched him fly off into the distance until she could no longer see him.
