The queen stares down at Lucy
"Ello I'm lucy-!"
The queen chuckles and bows "queen sky- what brings you here?"
"Oh me an my friend Wallace escaped Ruby's torture cave!"
Sky looks up, feathers rising slight "why were you there?"
"No idea!  From what the guards were saying its cause the queen was bored"
Sky growls "of course- well. I'm assuming you want to talk to me, to get a place to live?"
Lucy nods.
"Well- let's get to it now" she smiles and starts walking, than she stops "where's wallace?"
"Downstairs. Your butler wouldn't let him in"
The queen laughs "ah I see- oh!  Hey- do you like jokes?"
Lucy cocks her head
"I'm not like ruby. When I'm bored I play jokes and pranks, it makes the townspeople happy. And it makes me happy!"
Lucys face lightens up "Ooooh!  What do you have in mind?"
Sky whinneys for her butler. Who runs up fast "say, why don't you let uh-?"
"Lucy"
"Lucy- yes. Why don't you let lucys friend inside?"
The butler nods and is off to the doors. Hooves clacking on the marble floor.
The queen looks at Lucy "can you play dead?"

The butler opens the door "your majesty wishes to see you" his face was very angry looking
Wallace got up and nods "hmmm.... Alright-" he was sleeping for a bit. He got up and walks up
"Ah ah!  Wipe your - talons-"
Wallaces claws were muddy and chapped, he only wipes once or twice and walks in. He begins to walk to the royals room, where Lucy and sky were.
He opened the door to find a seemingly dead sky and Lucy
He cocks his head and walks up, sniffing. He wasn't to phased.
Not until sky jumped up "RAAAAHHHH!"
Wallace jumped back in fear, knocking the skull off his head,  he growls "THE HELL?!" Sky and Lucy start to laugh "he was scared half to DEATH!"
Wallace snorts "okay enough games, Lucy did you talk to her at all?"
Lucy nods "yup!  She's gonna find us a place to live for now! I'm so excited!!!"
The small dragon jumps up and wags her tail
Lucy looks at Wallace "it won't be to big. A little smaller than this room"
Wallace growls
"It'll be up passed the lake, the nice cave up there- and for jobs. There is a shop open for help. Its a goodies shop, for collectors and hoarders. You and Lucy can help there"
Lucy claps, she was happy now
"The cave shall be cleaned out from any messes tonight. For now you can stay in the castle. I'll send Razken out."
The multicolored dragon from before stares, his ear twitches
"Oooh so your names Razken?" Lucy called out.
Razken turned his gem nose away,
Sky gets up "I'll also send Miekay out with him. So he won't feel lonely-" she cooed at Razken. Who turned tail and stomped off.
"Well, that's about it, you'll have to get food for yourself, other than that we're always here to help"
Wallace sighs "oh finally- can I sleep outside? This place is to sparkly-"
"If you want to, though it seems you could use a bath."
Wallace stops "fine - I suppose"
"And Lucy, before bed, since Wallace will be bathing. You should go look around and meet new dragons. " Lucy smiles and nods, as she runs off and outside, Wallace is taken by the queen to a pool like tub, Wallace already hates it. It smells of raspberry and lavender. He takes his skull off and steps in. And starts to clean himself,
Lucy on the other hand is running through town. Than she bumps into a big light pink dragon, darker pink around his many ears, feet, tail and wings
He turns back to Lucy "o-oh ello there!" He says shakingly
"You o-okay?"
Lucy shakes her head and nods, than she looks up "your BIG"
"I suppose I am- Gamice- you?"
"Lucy!"
He holds out a finger, like its a hand.
Lucy grabs and shakes
"Nice to meet you Lucy! So, where you heading?"
"I HAVE NO IDEA!" she says, a beaming smile on her face.
"Well, its getting dark out, do you have a cave?"
"Yeah but sky's friends are cleaning it out!"
"Ah- well. Do you need a place to sleep for the night?"
"Nope!!!"
"Ah- well. Alright!  I'll hopefully see you soon"
"Oh I'm sure you will!"
With that Lucy ran off. Back to the castle, just waking in.
Wallace was now relaxed in the bath, his fur seemed more redish now than full on black. He relaxes, now feeling more calm.
Than Lucy barges in "BED TIIIME"
Wallace jumps and accidentally inhales some water, "FOR F- GODS SAKE LUCY!"
lucy smiles, and runs out.
Wallace gets out, and dries himself on a fan inserted into the floor.
He shakes the remaining water off and goes for his skull, its gone.
He brushes it off and gets ready for bed.
As he walks out the bath room, there's a tiny blue dragon, the same as Lucy, except his horns go into a curl and he has golden spots "follow me good sir- to your room."
Wallace follows him. Lucy as well. "So where'd you come from?" She asks the blue dragon "here. I was born and raised here."
"Ah! That's sooooooo cool!"
"I suppose. Your room is right here, sir-" Wallace opens the door. Its a big room. With a silk covered bed. He lays on it. Its softer than anything he's ever layed on in his life. The pillows were softer then cats fur.
He curls up. Comfy now. And drifts off to sleep.
The blue dragom now takes Lucy to her room. A smaller room, but just as nice as Wallace's.
She ran to the bed and lied on it
"Thank you very much sir!"
"No problem" he said with a smile
"You enjoy your stay now-"
He flew off. And Lucy lays down. Wings spread. And fell asleep
