Epilogue

Pelco's POV

"Mama, Mama, I want to tell you something!" Bluepine said ernestly.

"What is it, Bub?", I asked.

"Please don't tell her, please don't tell her!", Wisteria prayed under her breath.

I smiled at the two of them.

Wisteria and Bluepine had decided to eat lunch at home and then leave to go met their winglet back at Jade Montain.
It's nice to live right by your dragonets' school.

"Mama, Wisteria has a-"

"A crush on someone?", I guessed.

Wisteria was blushing to her horns at this point.

"Yes! That's right Mama!", Bluepin praised.

Wisteria was covering her face with her talons.

Just then I heard voices coming from outside.
I grinned, knowing exactly who it was.

Oaktail was talking with four dragons, a Skywing, a Silkwing, a Hivewing and a Rainwing.

"Uncle Tody! Uncle Cliff!", Bluepine cried happily.

"Hey, Pelco! Hey kinds!", Cliff greeted as he was tackled by Bluepine.

"Hi, Pelco", Dusky said giving me a hug.

"Wisteria has something to tell you."

Wisteria blushed.

"i have a crush on someone."

"Oh who is it?", Tody asked.

"Um, he's the son of Qibli and Moonwatcher.
His name is Duststorm."

"Oh, yeah, I've met Duststorm a few times. He's a really great kid!", Cliff put in.

Wisteria's friend, Honeybird, Dusky and Bumblebee's dragonet, joined the converation.

"Hey, I know Duststorm. I can introduce you!"

"Ok, you three, run along to school now", Bumblebee told them.

"Wish me luck!", Wisteria begged.

"Luck!", I called after her.

I watched them fly away and smiled.

Oaktail lay his snout on my head.

"You goofnut."

"You know I'm a goofnut."

"They grow up so fast.
One minute you're carrying them in a pouch; the next they're going to school and developing crushes", Dusky said.

"Well, look who's talking", I teased.

Bumblebee grinned.

"What's so funny?", Dusky asked.

"You were the one with the big crush on Bumblebee."

"And what's more, you two are almost complet opposits in terms of social situations", Tody put in.

"Well, Pelco, according to you husband, you were blushed as soon as you met Oaktail", Dusky shot back.

"Well, that's true", I admited.

"So, how's Auklet?", I asked Cliff.

"She's doing well. She wanted to come, but, she decided to stay with the dragonet", Cliff answered.

"I think we have the funniest dragonets", Oaktail whispered to me.

"And who do you think they get that from?', I asked.

"I think they get that from you", Oaktail answered.

"Really? I was thinking they got it from you."

"Ok, they get it from both of us", he decided.

"I said I would love you forever, didn't I?', he asked.

"You say that like we've been together for centeries", I joked.

"Have we? It's hard to tell with love."

"There is one thing I know for sure", I told him.

"And what's that?"

"It's enough to make kings and vagabonds believe the very best."

"Who's the goofnut now?"
