Viper looked at them from the bathroom.
"Where have you to been?" She asked.
"Oh, we just went down to talk and have some coffee in the lunchroom since they make it in the mornings. Decided to give it a try." Radiance shrugged casually.
"Turn around." Sunstone muttered to her.
"What?" She asked him quietly.
"Turn around." He said again.
Both him and Radiance whirled around.
"Don't say anything about the me and Viper situation. I want to be the one to tell her. When I'm ready." He whispered as Radiance smirked.
She rolled her eyes. "Alright. No fun." She whispered.
They both turned back around.
"What was that about?" Sunstone over heard Viper say quietly. "Did he say anything if he liked me to? Just- just asking. He.. you didn't tell, right?" She whispered.
"No, of course not," Radiance said reassuringly, even though it was a lie. "And nothing new yet. I'm sure he'll say something soon." She whispered to her.
"Okay.." She said, walking over to her bed and sitting on it.
Radiance walked by Sunstone, and he followed her to the bathroom, one, because he had to fix his scales in the there, and two, he wanted to ask her something.
He walked in, and saw Radiance fixing her ruffled scales.
He fixed his scales as well. "So. About the dragon that you apparently 'did not want to elaborate on your relationship with her'. Who's she?" He asked. "Not- not trying to barge in on your personal life, that is." He added hastily.
"Oh, Tango? Yes, her name is Tango." She said, fixing her scales still. "Shes.. she's my girlfriend. Me and her might get married maybe when we're a LOT older but.. yeah. She's my girlfriend." Radiance said.
"Oh." Sunstone replied, a little surprised. "That's sweet. How's it going with her?" He asked, trying to get a but of small talk going because he was bored.
"Oh it's great." She said.
"Great." Susntone said awkwardly.
"Okay. Well I'm gonna go slip on accessories." She said, slipping out of the bathroom.
"Okay.." Sunstone said, to himself, fixing his scales. He noticed Viper looking at him with a wrinkled eyebrow expression to a sad-ish expression.
His eyesbrowns wrinkled and his head faced her a little more. Does she think he likes Radiance instead of her? That wasn't true at all! Well- he likes Radiance, but just a friend. Not to mention she's in a relationship and not even into guys! Of course he likes Viper! Viper's pretty, fierce, kind, especially pretty.
Viper whipped her head away when she noticed Sunstone was looking at her.
He sighed, and began fixing his scales once again.

He grabbed his bag, and the bell in the hallway rang.
His winglet walked out and stayed together as well as they could in the sea of other dragonets going to class.
He accidentally bumped into the seawing who had said him and Viper should be together in the music room. She wrinkled her snout at him, offended. She took one talon and shoved him. He bumped into Corroborre, and he helped him back up.
"Woah, what's with her? She was so nice in the music room?" Viper said.
"I- I don't know? My shoulder barely brushed her wing?" Sunstone said, bewildered.
"Maybe she woke up on the wrong side of her bed..?" Corroborre said.
"That's a possibility." Lunarpool said with a yawn.
Sunstone nodded. "Look, there's a dragon over there who looks overly sad?" He said, nodding towards the somber dragon others were going around.
"There's a dragon over there looking scared to death.." lunarpool said quietly, yet still a sense of urgency and concern shown through.
"What is happening..?" Snowbird said fearfully. "Whats wrong with them?"
"I don't know. I'm sure everything's fine. Everyone's fine." Viper said, trying to be reassuring, but struggling with the concern and touch of fear seeping in her tone.
"Lets.. lets just go to class. I'm sure nothing's happening. Everybody got here just three days ago. Maybe they are just not familiar with this yet." Sunstone said, also trying to be reassuring, but struggling as well with his fearfulness.
They all hurried to thier first class as fast as they could, but the sea of dragonets heading to their classes as well made it hard to get through.
They walked into herbs and self-defence class.
Ms. Bulbul and Mr. Trilobuta greeted them happily as they walked in, cutting of their conversation to say hello to the silver winglet walking in. They sat in the same seats they sat in yesterday, and got out thier notepads.
The class took what felt as if it was eternity once again, still not helping Sunstone change his opinion on the class.
All the dragons yawned and twiddled their thumbs throughout the class, bored to death.
Then they heard a scream then they were muffled, like two dragons fighting and the other is being smothered. Sunstone sat up.
Well, atleast there's some action now. Not particularly good action, but action. Sunstone though with a bit of glee.
"I'm going to see what that was." He said, hopping up.
"It's probably nothing- no- wait COME BACK TO CLASS!" Mr. Trilobuta called to the dragonets rushing out the door. None listened to his call though, for they were far to curious about the odd sound that just took place.
Sunstone popped his head out the door curiously like some of the others, but Viper must have seen it first, for she went charging at the figure in a cloak.
It didn't see her, at first, and Sunstone had enough time (and courage) to run with her towards it.
He quickly caught up to her charging with her.
The cloaked figure who now was also now known to be masked as well, whipped their head around like a whip, fixating thier eyes on Sunstone and Viper, now Radiance coming up as well, charging head on to them.
They yelped as Sunstone accidentally stepped on their tail, getting ready to tackle.
The figure slashed at Sunstone, and managed to scratch his face, causing him to stagger back in pain.
"AGH!" Sunstone exclaimed painfully as the figure scratched him.
The figure stood up, in a fighting stance better than Sunstone's. Yet surprisingly, Viper's and Radiance's were better than his.
They got ready, finally noticing the knocked out dragon on the ground.
The dragon slowly stood up, like he was mind controlled or something.
"Fortunestriker, go." The figure said with an chapped crackly voice, and Fortunestriker charged towards them.
