JT can't wait to fly. He can't wait to catch bugs with the grown bats. But most of all, he can't wait to hear the applause of the spectators as the bats make their nightly exit from under the bridge in town. His parents tell him that he will know when it is time to join them, but it takes a a happy accident for him to learn that it is true. After a long night of new adventures, JT returns to his familiar home for a long, well-earned sleep.
