I feel great about this story. I love all of my viewers. Make sure to comment! Thanks, @TheDarkLordWriter for supporting my writing.

Cuddling with Winter is very calming. His cool scales react against my hot scales. His scales become warmer against my scales. I decide to get up and find him a breakfast. He might like the jerboas, kangaroos, and ostrich. A few dragons pass by me. Some comment on the icerose that I have placed around my horn. I miss Winter helping with my hunting. I have to start pulling my weight around here. Winter is always hunting. I just cook our meat. Winter does the majority of the work, all I want to do is I am not a fragile thing. I roar out in pain suddenly. I forgot to ask Clay's Medicine and Healing Class to refill my cramp medicine. The cramps don't stop until the end of the first week, good thing that is tomorrow. I will make it through the pain. The pain will start to slow down, but it is not as bad as the first day. The pain has died down, but it still hurts. A SandWing looks at me in surprise. 

"Want some cramp medicine? You are obviously changing your genders," The SandWing's voice scratches my ears.

"Can every SandWing tell when another SandWing is changing genders?" I try to joke. 

"Well you are leaking female hormones, and you were clearly male before this. Males have a tendency to have serious cramps. Females, on the other hand, do not get the cramps, because of their certain physique and hormones," The SandWing responds. She obviously took me seriously. I wanted to tell this ancient SandWing that I was just joking. Oldies don't understand us dragonets. 

"Sure I will take some cramp medicine, although the cramps will end tomorrow," I mutter. She starts walking away. I smell water in the distance and coconuts. Winter would love to try coconut milk. I find a desert rat, and it leads me back to the days of the OutClaws. I laugh at my silly memory. Six Claws was always funny. Ostrich must be worried sick.  I kill the desert rat and I continue to follow the serious SandWing. 

We finally make it to her home. She hands me the cramp medicine and I take it in one gulp. 

"Wow, that medicine works wonders. Is it okay if I take some coconuts?" I ask trying not to be so insincere. The SandWing nods and turns her head away. I exit her house trying not to worry about it. I grab three coconuts and I fly back to the Sand Rose. I found three kangaroos and a few camels. Winter is outside staring at the sand eaters. I sneak up behind him and place the kangaroo in front of him. His scream is so high pitched. "I thought cousins of queens are not supposed to scream like baby dragonets." Winter looks at me with a frown. I tried to make him laugh. "Wow Qibli, thanks for the kangaroos. Oh, are those camels. What about those coconuts? Thank you for dedicating more than half of your morning for hunting," I attempt to mimic his voice.  He laughs at that. 

I cook one of the kangaroos. I hand him another coconut. I think he likes coconuts. Maybe it is because their milk has a sweet tinge to it.
