Ripples, Polly and Jason show Icarus three objects they received from Lucinda. The pelican shows them the Feather of Honour received years back from the King of the Seagulls, but a flurry of wind blows it away, a flying gurnard catches it in flight and dives back into the water. The free friends begin to chase the fish in vain, but then Lucinda takes them to the Island of the King of the Seagulls to try asking for another feather; unfortunately the sovereign no longer has that type of feather. The downhearted three meet the gurnard at the bottom of the sea, but he says he has given the feather to a moonfish, who is passing by that very moment. The moonfish decides to return the feather in exchange for the three gifts Lucinda had given her three friends. So, Icarus gets his feather back, but on finding out about his friends’ sacrifice he gives them each a present he had in his fishing boat for their respective birthdays.
