Winter woke up. Ugh of course it was a dream he thought of course I didn't get any powers. Im just ordinary. But that wasn't the most upsetting thing. Of course Moon would never love you. She chose Qibli and she hasn't visited in a year. She's probably forgotten about me he thought angrily. He took a shower and turned on the cold water all the way. After showering he changed into his-wait...

(Do dragons have clothes?)

After showering he dried himself off and started cooking breakfast. While he was cooking his sausages he went over to his punching bag and started practicing his moves. Then he punched harder and harder. Stupid tribe! I helped them fight! Landing another hard blow on the bag stupid family! Stupid friends! S-stupid M-M oh come on Winter! You can call your tribe and family stupid but you can't call Moon stupid. He started to sob. "M-Moon. Why can't I stop loving you?" Winter said he forgot about breakfast turned off the stove and climbed back into bed. He grabbed the pillow Moon sewed for him. It said 'stay cool from Moon'. It was the only thing he had from Moon left. Apart from the skyfire or his terrible drawing. He squeezed the pillow and started crying harder. "Moon..." he whispered an then he heard a knock on the door. He got up reluctantly and walked to the door wiping his eyes. He opened the door to see who it was. It was Moon. He slammed the door shut what do i do? What do i do? Umm. He settled for hugging her. He opened the door and saw her walking away her back turned to him. He ran and tackled her down and squeezed her tight and started crying again wow Winter. show the Nightwing your weak self. "M-Moon is that really y-you?" He asked
"Winter. Thats too tight." She said. He got up and wiped the dust off him. "Come on in to my house!" he said.

She sat down on his bed. "You kept it." She said
"Kept what?" He said
"My pillow."
"Oh yeah. Do you want me to prepare breakfast?" He asked
"Yes please. I haven't eaten since forever!" She said with grin. He realised how thin she was and that motivated him to start now.

Over breakfast they talked. "How come you didn't come with your boyfriend." He spat out the word 'boyfriend' and she looked hurt. "Im sorry."
"It's okay." She said. "We kind of broke up." She admitted
"How!" He asked
"Well I wanted to visit you but Qibli had other thoughts and i left him at Jerboa's hut."
He then twined his tail with hers under the table. "Welp, you still have great friends and also what!?" He said. "Jeraboa! The Jerboa!?"
She grinned "i'll tell you more about some time."
"So how's school?"
"Alright. How old are you again?" She asked
"Seven." He replied

(A dragon is officially an adult at the age 7 because there is three Moons and the year takes trice as long and he's practically 21 in human years and Moon is 18)

"Your graduating soon right?" Winter asked
"Yeah." She said. "Altho they want us to stay."
"Where are you going after this?" Winter asked sad that he had to bring the thought up.
"I was thinking...maybe......i could stay at your house for a bit?" She said nervously.
"But don't you have school work?" Winter asked hoping he sounded concerned and not happier than Kinkajou.
"Where's Kink and Turtle?" He asked
"At school." She replied casually.
"What's that?" She asked pointing at a few pieces of paper on the counter not so far off.
"Notes." He said. He grabbed the pieces of paper and set it down in front of Moon and picked up their plates and put it in the sink.
"Awwww." She said as he was walking back.
"What?" He said. He peeked over to see what she was looking at. It was the drawing of Moon.

"Ack!" He said grabbing it "your not supposed to see that!""Already did

"Already did." She said smirking "but I love it! Your an amazing artist if i do say so myself."
Huh. Deja vu "y-your not just saying that." He said shyly
"Of course not." She said.
"Right. I'll prepare your room." He said
"Wait! I wanna see your scavengers and your research please." She said
"Alright." He replied

"They're so cute!" She said pointing at one
Then his phone buzzed. It was the first text he'd gotten for a year.
"Who is it." She asked peaking over.
"Qibli. He wants to know if iv'e seen you."

Qibli: bro have you seen Moon?

Qibli: she's at your house isn't she

Winter: how'd you know!

"Winter, what did he say?" Peeking to see what they said
"U-um he said he's cooking breakfast!" Winter replied quickly

Winter: bro send a pic of break fast now!

Qibli: ok ok chill why tho?

Winter: Moon wants to see what we are saying
