It's the first day of school at Hurricane Academy. River is delighted to meet new dragons and be with her crush, Pineapple, at the Academy. Windrunner is dreading this day, not wanting to reunite with the school bully. Pineapple, Lightning, Panther and River all choose their classmates, and name their group The Shadow Racers. It all seems to be great, untill Windrunner and Mudslide get forced together in The Shadow Racers. Do Windrunner and her new friends have to put up with Mudslide the whole year? This short story was a school assignment, and I decided to use the backup dragons as my characters. I actually vaguely like how it turned out! It is a long short story, being 4,500 words long. And in one night! In case you didn't notice or didn't know, this takes place in the Otherlands RoS AU. This is the old version, I will publish the new version separately.
