Spyro and the Dragon Games

chapter 4

Mira, Raven, Crow, Atticus, Sombra, and Apple are already seated in the castleteria.

"Okay, I have to admit it, that was kind of funny." Atticus smiled.

Darling and Cerise join them.

"...That's what I did in school," Mira said to Raven, but she then slams her hand down onto the bench, prohibiting Cerise and Darling from joining them. "We were saving these seats. Sorry."

Cerise and Darling exchange glances. They both groan and find someplace else to sit.

"This is the life." Sombra smirked.

"That wasn't fairy nice," Raven told Mira. "Darling and Cerise are my friends!"

"Nice will only get you so far, to be really popular, you need a little fear factor," Mira replied. "Right, Apple?"

"Um, I suppose there's truth in that." Apple darted her eyes around.

"Uh, Atticus?" Cherry's voice came which irked Sombra. "You want my spinach? They put it in my sandwich."

"Sure." Atticus said.

Cherry then took out the spinach and handed it to him.

"Ah, spinach..." Atticus smiled as he then ate the vegetable. "Keeps ya big and strong."

"It sure does, that and exercise." Sombra said.

"Uh, yeah." Cherry replied.

Sombra glared into her eyes.

"I have to go now." Cherry said shakily before running off.

"What is going on with her?!" Atticus asked.

"I have no idea." Sombra said as he placed his feet on the table while leaning back like a cool kid.

Poppy and Holly enter, this time fully-covered in protective armor, but some soot is on their faces.

"Um. Raven, don't freak out, but we were trying this new scale polish on Nevermore, and well... She took off!" Poppy informed.

"We set up a grooming station in the old dragon stables behind the school," Holly added. "That's the last place we saw her. We thought, maybe if you call her-"

"Maybe she's just hiding somewhere and would come out!" Poppy concluded. "We're sorry."

"Oh, I'm sure she's just fine." Sombra said.

"I better check on her," Raven decided. "Let's go."

"Come on, Sis." Crow agreed.

"I better go too." Atticus said.

Sombra watched him go before looking behind him. Drell whistled to himself as he got himself a huge sub sandwich for his lunch until he saw Sombra looking straight at him which made him quiet down and look scared to death.

Meanwhile with Spyro...

"I'm glad I get to be in the Dragon Games, but then I'll have to leave..." Spyro said to himself as he wandered around the dragon stables. "Will I ever see my new family again?" He soon heard something. "Uh, who's there?" he then asked. "Nevermore? I mean... Anyone?!" He soon saw that it was Nevermore. "Nevermore? It is you!"

"I had to get away..." Nevermore sighed as she came toward Spyro.

"Aw, don't be upset..." Spyro soothed. "What happened?"

"Well, those O'Hair twins were trying to polish me, and I just took off..." Nevermore frowned. "I don't really like anyone else being near me unless it's Raven."
