Dragon Story

Breakfast

Luna held on tight to the rope as she scoured the forest. Her Dragon Troop uniform was stained with mud, and she needed to find more clothes. Wait, I have extra clothes in my backpack! But Moon is there, if I don't find breakfast, she will send me back in here!

Luna looked at the green leaves, the sunlight filtering through the leaves, landing on multicolored fruit- fruit! Those were edible! Luna yanked on the rope three times, then put the rope on her belt. Luna blasted her flame-shoes and picked some of the food. She did a poison test to see if they were poisonous, then put the colored fruit onto a large banana tree leaf and lifted the leaf up. "Woah! This is heavy!" Luna mouthed, wanting to speak but did not speak. There might be predators in the forest, ready to pounce on her and rip her into tiny bits. Using great effort, she carried the leaf back to Moon. 

"Oh," Luna grumbled when she saw what Moon was up to. Moon was lying in a makeshift tent, snacking on some of the food she had brought along. "Why didn't you tell me?" Luna hissed. 

Moon snorted and said, "Well, you have enough fruits!" She lunged towards the pile of fruit.

Luna blocked her way and said sternly, "No, Moon! We have to save this for the other days! Well, remember that next time we need to get fruits and food it's you who's going into the forest! It was dark and creepy in there!" 

Moon pretended to look innocent. "Okay," She said, trying to make her voice sound shy. "How about our dragons?"

Luna replied, "They have their Dragon Pellets! Oh, that reminds me, where are the dragons?" Luna looked around.

Moon snorted again and said, "look at the water. They are swimming underwater to catch some fish for us to eat!" 

Luna's heart shrank. Moon had changed since they had landed on the island. Wait- was it an island? She looked around, and using her geography skills, she figured that she was on Drastopia land. 

Then she looked at the water. There was a neon lime-colored blob swimming around, accompanied by another blob of silver. Suddenly, Lime burst out of the water, his mouth full. 

"Lumtha! You'mth fimathaly awthake!" Lime yelled, his words muffling around the mouth full of fish. "Anmth loomthk amth whamth I gotmth!"

Lime opened his mouth and out slid out fish. Alive fish. The silver creatures wriggled on the sand, opening and closing their gigantic mouths. 

"That's great, Lime! You're awesome!" Luna hugged Lime. 

Lime blushed and said, "I wouldn't have done it without Silver. She located the school of fish! Her senses are really sharp!" 

Luna heard the sounds of a crackling fire and the heat bearing on her skin. She turned and saw Moon taking a fish from Silver, slipping it onto a washed branch, and roasting it over the fire. 

"I'll take care of the fish, you do the fruits! One for each of us!" Moon called to Luna. 

Luna nodded and rushed to the area where she had placed the fruit pile. She picked the best-looking fruit and ran to wash the fruit in the stream. Then, placing the fruits in another clean leaf, Luna peeled the fruits, drooling at their juicy insides. 

Soon, Moon had placed a little mat made of leaves on the sand, and Luna put the leaf with the peeled fruits on the mat. Moon laid out some roasted fish and Luna put some Dragon Pellets on the mat beside the fish. 

Moon finally exclaimed, "Let's eat!" 

Luna's stomach was growling, and she couldn't wait to dig in. The small group ate happily and thought of ideas for the whole day, and at night, they snuggled into their makeshift tent to sleep. 

But Luna noticed something strange about the moon. 

It was red.
