Five Nights Of Fire- Book 1 "Dawn of Fire"

Chapter 13

Part 3

The Party

 Cactus was a bit of a mess. He was anxious most of the time and didn't want his dragonets to stray away from him.

Like right now, he was outside his office and right beside the entrance of Taipan's area. His eyes were on Blast who was talking with three other dragonets. One of them was Prince Cod, another was a bronze-colored MudWing, and the other was a pale tan SandWing. Blast had a bandage over his right eye where Dusk had scratched him with his tail barb.

Cactus still never understood why Dusk did it. Blast only ripped one of his plushies, which could've been fixed, but instead Dusk attacked him. Cactus was so lost in his thoughts he didn't realize that Blast was walking up to him.

Blast tugged at his wing, making him look over at him. "Hey Dad, can I ask you something?" Blast asked.

"Of course, you can Blast, what is it?" Cactus craned his neck so that he was at eye level with the SkyWing dragonet.

"Could you make me and my friends our own Animatronics? Like ones that are based on us."

Cactus looked at the other dragonets with him. Prince Cod would have a purple SeaWing Animatronic of course, maybe with the added royal patterns. With the MudWing and SandWing, Cactus didn't know what to do with them.

"Sure. What are your friends' names?" Cactus asked him.

"This is Prince Cod, I'm sure you know him. The MudWing is Bronze and the SandWing is Weasel." Blast said, pointing at each of his friends.

Cactus looked more closely at his friends. Prince Cod would be the easiest to replicate an Animatronic. Purple scales, perhaps a bracelet or two, and maybe the royal pattern too. Bronze would take some thought. Brown scales, of course, would be the easiest to make his Animatronic look like a regular MudWing. Cactus didn't know what to do with Weasel's Animatronic. He had pale tan scales, so maybe he could replicate that, or maybe he should go with paler yellow. Cactus always wanted to add a bandana to an Animatronic, something he always wanted when he was a dragonet.

"Yes. I can make an Animatronic for all four of you." Cactus said.

"Thanks, Dad." Blast smiled at him and then turned back to his friends. "Come on guys, let's go play those games Weasel was talking about." He said, and he and his friends all went over to the arcade games.

Cactus smiled as well. It was refreshing seeing Blast happy after the SandWing venom incident. Cactus perked his ears when music played near the show stage. It was time for Hopper and Jackrabbit to roam around the building. The red curtains opened and the two golden dragons stepped down from their stage. Dragonets from around the diner ran up to Hopper and Jackrabbit.

Out of all the Animatronics he made, he was proud of how Hopper came out. Sure, Jackrabbit was his favorite of the three, but Hopper was the hardest to make. Especially when making the wings. He wouldn't admit it to someone else, but Cactus was proud of how he made the tiger-like black stripes on his neck to his tail. Cactus had somehow found a way to make Hopper's yellow wings slightly transparent like all HiveWings, but the downside of the dragon wearing the suit can't move the wings.

As dragonets crowded around Hopper and Jackrabbit, Cactus looked around, not seeing Taipan moving. He turned around and walked over to Taipan's stage. His stage was smaller than the others. With only a few posters around, stars hanging from the ceiling, and a night-blue coloration on the walls.
