This is a quick little fiction story I worked up.
Note: This story features Attack/Command Zoids for a little variety in my Zoids Universe Fiction!
Feel free to post comments in this thread! Hope you enjoy the story!

I love it - it's full of whimsy and it doesn't insult the reader by explicitly naming her parents.
I'm not sure that I like the name Vayona, but that's a matter of personal taste, and probably just because I'm annoyed at Jean M Auel's entire last book (which included Jonayla as the daughter of Ayla and Jondalar).
Some of the sentences could be simplified a little so that the meaning flows unambiguously - for instance:
"Her mother would be beside herself if she ruined the brand new dress she had made for her with berry stains."
- could be:
"Her mother had just finished making the dress she was wearing, and she would be beside herself if it were ruined with berry stains."

Your writing style is very visual... you can actually see the anime unfolding as you read. Very well done!

Thank you very much! I tried to build on the elements of the original series with this story. I wanted that same 'resonance' the original story had to shine through with this one. I had hoped it would make the reader feel that 'return' to that particular universe. And while they were there, in the story, I thought I'd try to give them a nice surprise toward the end. I agree with your suggestions, and I will probably make use of them, but I need to let the story sit for a bit so that my eyes and my muse can look at it with a fresher perspective. Thanks for reading and I hope you were entertained!
