Twice in a lifetime: Book 2

Girl Stuff

Dragon Lady and Alexander exited the library and went into the main room/gathering area. As they did, Proso noticed them and came over.

"Hey Dragon Lady, can I speak to you?" She asked.

"Huh, sure." Dragon Lady responded.

Proso turned to Alexander and said, "It's about girl stuff, so could you...?"

"Oh!" Alexander gasped, before backing away and walking through the hall he had just came from.

"Hey, wait." Dragon Lady said to Proso. "Are you the one who shot my friend?" she had spoken so abruptly.

"Yes." Proso said. "But I thought you were intruders until I saw Alexander's face. To be fair, you did break into my house. Is your friend okay?"

"Yes, he is still healing but otherwise completely fine, we don't blame you for anything. So, what did you want to talk to me about?"

"You used my machine to become real, so I should tell you that you aren't exactly the same as everyone else. Tell me, do you have any powers?"

"Well, whenever I get angry or desperate, I become more Dragon-like, I'll breathe fire, my tail might get bigger, my skin gets covered in hard shells, and oh, I grew wings and flew to the disaster training center." Proso seemed very confused.

"Nothing relating to technology at all?"

"No, why?"

"Cause that's what I do, I can remotely interact with almost anything electronic, that's how I filled out my student application forms, and I also kinda embedded myself into the school's electric grid."

"Huh, I guess we're pretty different."

"Then I'll just read out what my creator wrote for me." Proso pulled a small piece of paper with many very tiny words on it from her back pocket. "You are stronger than most others, you can go longer without becoming hungry or thirsty, you do not fatigue easily, you can." She stopped.

"What does it say?" Dragon Lady asked, now intrigued.

"Y-you can." Proso sighed, seemingly embarrassed at what she was reading. "You can become pregnant and give birth to children." Just then Hazel walked in, followed by Huck.

"Look!" Hazel said to Huck. "Are those new students?" Proso and Dragon Lady turned to face Hazel, who gasped. "And they're pretty." She said.

"Imma go to bed now, ga night Hazel." Huck responded before walking away. Hazel ran up to Proso and Dragon Lady.

"HihimynameisHazel" She said without pausing to breathe. "What're your names?" Proso and Dragon Lady calmly introduced themselves. "Your names Dragon Lady?" Hazel asked. "But that's more of a title. You should get a real name. I know! How about Karla? It means free woman in its original German. And it just rolls off the tongue. Karrrr-la. Kkkkarrrllaaaa. Like caramel. I like caramel candy."

"Hmm." Dragon Lady said. "A lovely idea Hazel. I'll have to think about that. You should get some sleep, it's getting late."

"Fine."  Hazel said, crossing her arms. "But you two are having lunch with me tomorrow."

"Can I bring my boyfriend?" Dragon Lady asked.

"Who is he, is he icky?"

"I wouldn't let him be my boyfriend if he was icky." Dragon Lady giggled.

"Fine, you can bring him."

"Can I bring my boyfriend?" Proso asked.

"No!" Hazel said a little too loud. "If you both bring a boy than no one will talk to me." Hazel ran off and into her room. Proso and Dragon Lady just shook their heads and went off to sleep.
