moon between (under renovation)

8,Qibli

Qibli was ecstatic that Moon wanted to go with him the whole day. He joined her in the morning to fly to the Rainforest Kingdom. After that, he would take her to Queen Thorn's awesome library in the Kingdom of Sand. It was a long flight to get there, about two hours, but Qibli was sure that Moon would enjoy it.

Qibli noticed Moon was acting a little different than she normally was. She seemed a lot more jumpy today, but hey, who was he to judge?

"So Moon, do you want to play a game to pass the time? How about Hesitation?"

"Sure!" Moon exclaimed.

They face each other and chanted: "Hesitation, 64, no repeats, or hesitations."

"I'll go first, and you will follow," Qibli sang. "Category is, dragon abilities!"

"Claws!"

"Venom!"

"Fire!"

"Camouflage!"

"Animus powers!"

"Sleeping!"

Huh? What is that supposed to mean, Qibli thought.

"Ha! I win!" Moon shouted. "You hesitated!"

"Why were you naming so many RainWing abilities? Have you been reading a scroll on them or something?"

"Silly, I'm just naming my- I mean, RainWing abilities. Umm, we are going to the rainforest so why not, eh? Right? Right?"

All of a sudden "Moon's" snout became a bright fuchsia. It disappeared as soon it came. Qibli's mind raced as quick as a racehorse.

"Oh, those dragons, they are thinking about the Laze & Dine diner in the rainforest. Why, that makes me hungry. We should fly faster and go there for lunch."

Qibli stopped flying. "Not until you tell me who you really are, Kinkajou. You are a terrible lier. I knew something was up, Moon- I mean you weren't acting like normal. What is going on? Why were you disguised to look like Moon? Did she not want to go out with me? Does she know I like her? Claws and scales, what am I saying? AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!"

Kinkajou let her Moon disguise fall away. Qibli was sad to see it go- wait, what was he thinking? This wasn't the real Moon. She didn't want to hang out with him. Qibli could never be good enough for her no matter how hard he tried. How did Winter do it? He just seemed to have that spark.

"Qibli, calm DOWN! Of course Moon wanted to hang out with you. Please let me tell the whole story.

As Kinkajou explained it to him, it made more sense. The vision. The confusion. And hey, she chose to hang out with him in the afternoon, which is longer than the morning, right?

"So what you're saying," Qibli said. "Is that the real Moon is going to hang out with me after lunch?"

"Yes," Kinkajou said. "I'm sooooo sorry for this MESS! All I wanted to do was help out a friend and get some free cleaning out of it."

"Aw no sweat I would've done probably the same thing."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I'm an OutClaw. We think big!"

"So you won't say a thing about this to Moon?"

"Kinkajou, I have too. I need to be honest. How will she ever like me if I lie to her all the time!"

"She's gonna have my talons for this!"

"Kink, you gotta trust me. I am pretty good with words. I will defend you."

"Okay. I trust you. You are a good clawmate. Now that we are helping each other, do you think you could help me become free from Anemone's love spell? I mean, I know you're not an animus but I mean isn't there something you could do?"

If only he was animus.

"Kink, We don't have time for this right now. Let's deal with that later."

"Okay, Kinkajou sighed. "How do you think it feels to be under a spell?"

"Kink-"

"Okay, Okay, I apologize for making you feel guilty. Now let's get some food!"

They approached the Laze & Dine and hopped inside. A line of RainWing waitresses were sleeping at the bar. The bartender patted one and whispered in her ear. As the sleepy dragon arose, another waitress fell asleep at the bar in her place.

"My name's Canopy, and I'll be ya server today. How may I help ya?" She yawned. "Oh, and hello, Kinkajou!"

Kinkajou giggled. "How's the first job working out, Canopy?" Kinkajou no longer bothered with her disguise.

Canopy sighed. "Not so well. I need enough money to pay for college in Possibility. Oh hey, Mr SandWing, ya better treat my Kinkajou well. We were clawmates at Tree Hollow Elementary. She was in clawdigarten and I was in the fifth wing."

Both dragons blushed.

"Oh, we aren't dating. We're just friends. Really, we're just hanging out." Qibli said.

"Oh alrighty then. Kink, have ya got ya self a boyfriend?"

"Canopy!" Kinkajou blushed, turning an even deeper shade of pink. "No. Yes. No. Kind of. Maybe."

"Okay then, I'll leave ya to deciding ya boyfriend. Anywho, what do ya want to drink?"

"Uh, just two mango dragonfruit smoothies. You'll love it Qibli." Kinkajou said quickly.

"Canopy, right?" Qibli added. "I know a lot of people in Possibility. I can hook you up with some colleges who give scholarships!" Good, he thought. Did my good deed for the day. I love helping dragons.

Canopy's green face lit up. "Wow! That would be amazing. Here, I keep a spare resume with me for the unexpected."

Qibli took the paper from her. The headline was Engineering for a Better Pyhrrian Future. Some of the listings were scroll typer, dragon hair gel, and more.

"This looks great! I'll give it to Queen Thorn. She believes in giving every dragon a chance."

Canopy's eyes widened. "Ya KNOW the queen?"

"Yep, I'm an OutClaw, she raised me, long story. Anyway, thank you Canopy!" The RainWing bounced away happily. She looked more energetic than when she came over.

"You are such a nice dragon," Kinkajou smiled.

"Thanks," Qibli beamed. I mean, wouldn't Winter have done the same thing? He was a great, probably even better dragon.

Canopy soon returned with their smoothies and left with a wink.

"Mmmm these are amazing!" Qibli mused.

"Told you so!" Kinkajou giggled.

Qibli was enjoying the time with his friend. A little mishap here and there but hey, things were turning out great. And he would get to see Moon later.

Qibli saw a black dragon with a white dragon come in. Oh no! Had Moon and Winter stumbled on the two of them in Laze & Dine?

A/N: hola, sorry for the cliffhanger. I know, it leaves us around the last part but this was just too much fun to write! Hope you enjoy, plz comment and vote. And Canopy is my first OC! You like her?? Don't worry, she'll be back later. 😉 Peace y'all! 🤙

PS- this is NOT a KinkajouXQibli story. Both like other dragons. I just love them as friends. 👌💕
