Chapter 7: DAH PROM!

(TIME SKIP TO THE PROM!)

I put on the gown from my first date and checked myself in the mirror, it was the night of the prom and I wanted to look my best. Since it was a dance, it was considered our second date. I checked my scales repeatedly to make sure I was wearing the right colors. I stuffed the sparkly tux, scarf and pendant in a brown, paper bag and labeled it, "DO NOT TOUCH! BELONGS TO GLORY!" with a giant, black Sharpie. I checked to see if my claws were shiny and clean, I'm strangely self conscious about them. I walked out the door and saw Deathbringer waiting for me like he did last time in his freshly cleaned and ironed tuxedo. 

"Hey babe!" he said. 

"Babe?" I said, then laughed. 

"What? Got a problem?" he asked seriously. I blushed and gave him a confused look, he burst out laughing. 

"You fell for it! HA! Now that's a new one! Shall we?" he said, holding out his claws. I kissed it like a male would do and smiled. He laughed. 

"That's MY job! Not yours! MINE!" he said. I smiled and took his claws. We walked to the dance with our wing claws intwined, like holding claws.

We arrived and saw our friends in pairs. Clay with Peril, Darkstalker with Clearsight, Sunny with Starflight, Tsunami with Riptide, Indigo with Fathom, Moon with Winter, Qibli with Kinkajou, Turtle with Tamarin. They were all dressed up nice, even Peril had a fire-proof dress on. We walked in together, chatting on the way. The MPR had a color changing floor that lit up to the beat. Streamers of pink, yellow and green were strung up in twisted ways that made it look cooler. Tables were set up on three sides of the dance floor, covered in beverages and food. A stage was covered in talking dragons, it seemed the whole school was here, which it was. 

"You ready to party your pants off?" Riptide said. 

"We don't wear pants, bro!" Clay said. 

"It's a reference. Besides, me and Deathbringer are! So, there!" Riptide countered. Riptide had a similar suit to Deathbringer's but it was a sea blue, like Tsunami's scales. Tsunami was wearing a sky blue dress like Riptide's scales with a water lily crown adorning her head. Everyone was dressed in similar dressing but were different colors, making it look like we were a rainbow of dragons, which we were.

We danced and danced to the Dj's music. We literally partied our pants off. Well, those who had pants. When I couldn't dance anymore, I went outside with Deathbringer to relax in the chilling, night air. Me and Deathbringer flew up to a tree branch sturdy enough to hold 4 dragons. I sat there looking at the stars, finding my favorite constellations in the sky. 

"Beautiful isn't it?" I asked. 

"You got that right." Deathbringer said. 

"Like everything else." I said. Deathbringer chuckled. 

"You are so wrong there!" he said. 

"Oh really! Tell me, how many times was I wrong?" I asked. 

"The time when you texted your mom instead of me saying, 'you want to go help me with Kinkajou's project?'. Then the time you drank the wrong kind of tea, thinking it was your favorite. Then there was the time you picked up the wrong hand of cards and peeked at my Yu-gi-oh cards on quote-on-quote accident!" Deathbringer said. 

"Those don't count! Those were mistakes!" I countered. 

"Yeah, WRONG mistakes!" Deathbringer said.
