Ripnami

Hi, Riptide!

Tsunami groaned. "Claaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!" 

Clay looked up from the goat he was chewing away at. "Hm?"

"I'm so bored!" Tsunami exclaimed. "Glory's busy queening, Sunny's being Sunny over there, Anemone is queening, Starflight's in the library doing whatever he does, and you....." her snout scrunched up as she looked Clay up and down. "You're eating."

"Wl, mubea o sld tc?" Clay said, through a mouthful of goat. 

"Ew, swallow your food, Clay!" 

He swallowed and started again. "Maybe you should teach something?" 

Tsunami paused. "Like what?"

Clay shrugged. "I dunno. History of SeaWings? Combat? Insulting other dragons?" 

Tsunami whacked him. 

"Punching and hurting people!" Clay suggested. Sunny, who was lying in the sun across the cave, picked her head up and nodded. 

"Yeah!" 

Tsunami glared at them, and they both laughed. 

Tsunami took a deep breath in. "I'm going to see what Turtle's doing."

She turned and walked out of the cave they were in. Tsunami wandered around, looking for her brother. "TurtLE!" she called. "wheRE ARE YOU!" 

A small SeaWing collided with her. 

Tsunami glared at the dragonet, before quickly realizing that it was her little sister, Auklet. "Oh!" Tsunami exclaimed. "Auklet!" 

Auklet looked up at her sister. "Sorry Tsu!" she quickly said. 

"Do you know where Turtle is?" Tsunami asked. 

Auklet looked away. "No," she mumbled.

"Yes, you do." 

Auklet looked up defiantly at her sister, who promptly glared at her. "Oh fine." 

Tsunami smiled. "Where is he, Auk?" 

"I'm not supposed to tell you," she whispered. 

Tsunami's expression quickly changed from annoyed to worried. "What?!" she yelped. "Is he doing something dangerous??" 

Auklet shrugged. "I don't know. Moon knows. And Qibli. Oh, and probably Kinkajou! "

Tsunami gritted her teeth and stormed past Auklet. Then walked back. "Where  are they?" 

Auklet shrugged. "I think Kinkajou might be with Glory. And Peril might know!" 

Tsunami sighed. Her brother was always getting into problems. She slowly started walking. If Kinkajou was with Glory, she wasn't in the school. Peril, she supposed, might be with Cliff, Queen Ruby's son. She decided to look for Qibli, Turtle's roommate. 

Tsunami walked outside to find Qibli with Moon. 

She started towards them, and Moon suddenly jumped up. "Tsunami!" she exclaimed. 

Tsunami waved as the two dragonets started towards her. Tsunami opened her mouth to ask where Turtle was, but Moon sighed. "We aren't telling you where he is." 

Tsunami scowled. She had forgotten that Moon was a mind reader. Qibli elbowed Moon. "Stop!" He whispered. 

"Please?" she begged. "Is he in trouble?" 

Qibli shook his head. "No," he said. 

Tsunami gave them a look. "Are you sure?" 

Qibli nodded. "Yes."
