Winger's P.O.V

I watched with wide eyes as Leyla fell into the ocean. She had slipped off of my back while I was flying and now I wish more then ever that I was a water dragon so I could dive down there. But much to the relief of Dak and I, a Fastfin surfaced with Leyla cluched safely in her claws. "Leyla!" Dak yelled. "Dak!" Leyla shouted back. The Fastfin flew over to us and dropped Leyla on my back. "Thank you for saving her." He said with a relieved smile on his face. "Hehe... no p-problem! Sooo, you just let humans ride on your back?" She asked. "I'm Leyla, and this is my brother Dak." Leyla spoke to her. "Hey." Dak said. "Um... Hi, I'm Summer." She said kind of sheepishly. "Thank you so much for saving me, Summer." Leyla said. "You understand dragons?" I asked, shocked. Leyla nodded. Dak launched into a story about how they were ship wrecked as small children and raised by a mother dragon. Once he finished he said "I'm sorry, but we really have to get going. We need to take this dragon egg back to it's nest." Summer looked down down and saw that I was holding a greenish egg. "Oh, right of course! A Slinkwing egg! Be careful around them, they are greedy dragons. They spit super sticky slime which can cause a dragon's wings to stick together, therefore disabling the ability to fly." Everyone was staring at her. "Wow sis, she sure knows a lot about dragons. Like someone else I know." Dak said. Leyla looked thoughtful for a minute. "Hay Summer... I know we just met but... do you maybe want to come with us? You can help us with rescues!" She said."Uh, sure! I can do that, sounds fun!" Summer told them. "Great! Welcome to the team, Summer." I said. "By the way, my name's Winger."

"Winger! Winger, we're here!" Summer was saying. "Sorry, I must have dazed off." I said. "Don't worry Winger, I do that a lot." Said Burple. It has been a year since Summer joined the Rescue Riders, and we got some new recruits over that time. Burple, the Rock Spitter. Cutter, the Relentless Razorwing. And Aggro, the Fire Fury. I had also developed a crush on Summer, who I was closest too. But she would never like me the way I like her, right?

Summer's P.O.V

Winger had been daydreaming again, and he almost flew right into a rock stack. Luckily I got his attention before that happened. We landed on the island's coast, nearby some berry bushes. "Alright everyone! Grab as much supplies as you can carry! We have some rough training tomorrow!" I told my team. At once everyone scattered, knowing what they would be gathering. Winger went over to gather up the wood with Cutter. He flew up and stacked up the wood. He was so fast... "Summer!" Leyla waved her hands in front of my face. "Huh? Oh, Leyla, uh what's up?" I said, caught off guard. "We're supposed to be getting red snapper from the ocean, not watching Winger stack wood." She said. "Right! Right! Sorry." She hopped on my back and I flew over and dived into the ocean to gather up some red snappers. Leyla had caught me staring at Winger! But in my defense, he is kind of cute... no! I am a Fastfin, he is a Swiftwing. Even if I DID like him like that, it wouldn't work out. But it doesn't matter, I don't like him like that...... right?
