Welcome to Gaia! ::

We Can Dance if We Want To!: Part One

It was strange for the usually hyper girl to be sulking in her room. After her last couple of encounters with Kay she was pretty much convinced he must dislike her now. Why? What had she done wrong? She pouted as she wore only a simple white shirt. She could of changed it to anything, but she felt uninspired. Kay hadn't liked the outfits she had made, and now she didn't know what to do. Gera loomed outside of her room waiting for her to make a move, but not saying a word of comfort to her.

There was something about that metal clad man that scared the life out of Ryuusei, it might be the fact that he never spoke, he just stood there and starred. He starred up at him from where he was standing and set to shuffling forward across the ground toward Roxy's room, hoping that if he didn't make no much noise or draw any attention to himself that the guy wouldn't turn his scary gaze upon him. He just wanted to see his friend was all but it seemed he was always right there... sort of like a brightly colored shadow. He paused as he reached the door, lifted his gaze to glance up at Gera, and then hurried forward toward the door.

Gera didn't move as he watched as the small dragon moved across and then into Roxy's room. Apparently he didn't view Ryuu as a threat. And so he remained outside.
Roxy was hugging a pillow on her bed, sitting cross legged as she stared across the room trying to not think. It....was so tiring. Did he like her? did he not? It was ..impossible for her to figure out. So lost in her own little world she didn't realize Ryuusei had come in.

He couldn't have been happier as he got passed the metal man and into the room where he stood and continued to shuffle along toward the bed. As he reached it he lifted up on his back feet to peek over the edge and much to his surprise the blond seemed to be rather... down. That was odd, normally she was all smiles, bright fantastic clothing, and energy. He crawled up onto the bed before he moved over her side, crawling into her lap like an affectionate cat might do.

Roxy blinked before she suddenly realized she had company and it was now snuggling into her lap. Little tears welled up as she tossed her pillow aside and then wrapped her arms around Ryuusei and pulled him into a rather tight hug.

"Waaa....aaa..aha...Siilllver....Kay do..doesn't liiikke meeee..." She wailed crushing him to her body.

Ryuusei gave a squeak of surprised as he found himself hugged to her chest, his eyes getting a bit wide, and then he hugged her best that he could with his little arms, nuzzling against her chin, "That's silly, I don't think anyone could dislike you Roxy." He said in a soothing manner, not understanding how anyone wouldn't like the cheerful girl. He couldn't say he knew Kay well though as they had only met once in the past.

Roxy was sniffling pretty hard, as she continued to crush the poor little dragon against her. "but..but he was acting so weeiird.and he doesn't like the clothes i were...and ...waaaaaaaah.." she rushed on in a very winded speech. She apparantly didn't understand why Kay suddenly didn't like the outfits she wore.

He continued to snuggle against his friend, tail wagging in a slow manner, hoping that he would be able to make her feel better by loving on her in such a manner, "Its gonna be alright Roxy!" He said, wiggling up higher so he could nuzzle against her cheek, ever affectionate. He wanted to see her smile again, wanted her to perk up, "Maybe... he was just in a bad mood?" He guessed, having no idea but was grasping at straws at how to reassure her.

Roxy sniffled hard and she nodded her head and then shook it, then nodded it again. She seemed to be confused, Kay had never been in a bad mood before, but what Ryuusei was saying made sense she supposed. Unwrapping her arms around him she finally lowered him back to her lap and then looked down at him with big green eyes.
"y..you t..think so?" She asked using her arm to wipe her nose clean. It would make sense...but even when she was with him and Mrrh he had been acting strange too.

Ryuu shifted himself so he was sitting up in her lap, lifting up on his back legs and he gave a nod of his head, "Of course! No reason else why someone would be upset with Roxy." He told her, his tail wagging behind him as he worked on comforted her. She seemed to be calming down which was a good thing he thought to himself, a smile appearing on his mouth that showed a lot of little, sharp teeth.

She seemed to be ready to accept that as an explanation, readily. Nodding her head she agreed with him, "Y..es..Silver is right." She stated as she figured she hadn't done anything wrong, maybe he had just been in a bad mood. Sniffling she forced a smile and then bent over to give Ryuusei a small kiss on the top of his cute head. "Th..thanks Silver." She stated sounding much better than moments earlier.

"W..where you been Silver? I've missed you.."

Ryuusei's tail started to wag that much faster, to the point the blue star on the end was a blue blur, and he gave a happy purr after getting the kiss, "Your welcome." He said, glad to see that she was perking up. It made him happy that she was feeling better, glad that he was able to help her, "Here and there, I had to go out and meet with someone... and then I wasn't feeling to well for a bit but its alright, Mrrh helped me out."

Roxy drew her legs close to her body and she giggle staring down at the dragon, "Mrrh is surprisingly nice isn't he? He and Kay don't get along though...I dunno why. " She stated as she giggled, "OH! I saved you a chocolate! Mrrh got them for me and Kay but I waned to save you one." She explained sounding more and more hyper as she began to forget her worries. Scurrying off the bed she slipped off to hurry to her dresser and then she found the chocolate wrapped in a napkin and brought it back over. "It has cherries in it!"

Ryuusei nodded in agreement, smiling happily, "Yes, he is." He said, tail wagging at the thought of him. His eyes went wide when chocolate was mentioned and the idea that Mrrh had gotten them for her. Hrm... so Mrrh could get things for other people but not the other way around? He made a face before happily running back and forth at the edge of the bed, jumping up and down as Roxy fetched the candy before he gave a squealing sound of delight as he inhaled the sweet scent of it. He reached out to catch it with his teeth then tilted his head back to let it fall into his mouth then had the hard task of attempting to chew it without getting it all over the place. He should have taken bites but it had smelled so good! It was made even better because it was both delicious and because it was a gift from Roxy and from Mrrh at the same time.

"Mmmmnomnom." He murmured, all but purring, his tail swishing behind him.

Roxy giggled as she watched him inhale the treat and was glad she had kept it this long. Many times she had been tempted to eat it herself but..she had so hoped to see Silver again soon.

"You had to go find someone you said?" she inquired curiously as she leaned onto the edge of the bed propping her elbows on the fabric so she could watch the little dragon work on swallowing the candy.

He gave a nod of his head before he chewed back the candy and finally swallowed it before he gave a smile, "Mmm, that was good!" He chirped before he tilted his head to the side when he was asked about the person he went to find, "Ahh... his name was... erm... Ermingild." He said, dropping his gaze for a moment before he attempted to shake off the feeling that was trying to overwhelm him. He had been trying to put that meeting and all the information he was given that he didn't want behind him.

Roxy was only a kid, but even she could tell when to drop a subject. She scooped up the little dragon and swung in a circle, "I am glad your back! I missed you Silver!" She tried to mimic his chirping sound that he had made earlier. She failed but it was still cute regardless. She stopped spinning and then hugged him again giving another small smooch on the forehead. Her outfit the shimmers and thinned out spreading on her body, it slowly turned silver and then she appeared to be wearing pj's that resembled Ryuusei.

Ryuusei gave a sound of excitement when Roxy scooped him up and the two of them set to pinning in a rather enjoyable manner. He giggled a bunch when they came to a halt, wagged his tail as he got another hug and kiss from his friend, and then watched as her outfit changed to change into something silver. It took hima moment before he realized that she was wearing her dragon pajamas again. His dark eyes got wide and he started to squeal in delight, climbing up to perch on her head which must look funny given that she looked like him now with the pajamas on that she wore, "Yay!" He cheered before leaning forward over her, looking at her upside down, "I like these pajamas." He told her with a grin.

Roxy giggled a bunch and made a rawring sound as she made a small swipe with a hand trying to be big and scary and failing miserably. "Ooooooo! I should teach you this NEAT dance I saw on tv!" she squealed as she stood a moment trying to think of all the moves. "its called the...ma..ca...rana?" She ventured a guess at the name.

There were giggles coming from the dragon as the girl acted the part of a scary sort of dragon, something that amused him like nothing else. He hopped off of Roxy's head so that he could float in a couple circles around her, "Yes! I want to see!" He chirped, curious to see what the dance looked like that she had seen, "I want to dance Ma Ca Rana!" He told her, eager to learn even if he wasn't the same build as Roxy, he would still try his best!

Roxy thought long and hard and then she stood her feet slightly apart. "oookay you have to start like this." She explained as she then moved a hand out in in front of her and them mimicked the other hand into the same position. she then flipped them over so the palms were facing up instead. "I ..need to find the song.." she stated with a frown. She could of tried singing it...but she knew how awful her voice was when it wasn't a song from the cd she was form.

Ryuusei landed on the ground and set to mimicking the way that she was placing her hands, reaching them out one at a time then turning them palms up... and then she stopped to go in search of the song. He tilted his head to the side before returning to working on practicing the hand motions.

She scrounged around ans was annoyed to not find what she was looking for. So she set to humming it instead. Bobbing to the music in her head she then repeated the first steps again, palms down , palms up and then she crossed them one by one to touch her forearms and then moved them one at a time to the back of her head. All the while she was wiggling side to side. She then flipped the hands from her head to her hips. She then gave a bigger wiggle and swing of her hips and then she jumped so that she was now facing to her right. "That's bout it." She explained, "I can try singing it...if you want me to."

Ryuusei watched as she showed him the rest of the dance while humming and he gave a little giggling sound, finding it to be an interesting sort of dance. He did his best to attempt the next steps. He couldn't quite reach his head with his hands so he improvised by holding them up as high as he could before he set to doing the rest of the dance. The wiggling made him look a bit like one of those dancing cobras, but he seemed to be enjoying himself from the smile he had on his face, giggling by the time he got to the end of it.
"Phew! That is fun!" He said, tail wagging, "Ohhh, its a song you can sing? Ok! Teach me the words too?"

Roxy laughed watching him, it was so very cute watching him move like that. At the idea of singing the song with him and teaching him..she thought on it. "O..kay but you can't laugh. I sound terrible.." she muttered sounding a bit annoyed. "It's...also Sp..anish? Not sure so i may get a bunch of the words wrong.."

Make a Wish

A Friendly Gera? Part Two

Gera shrugged his shoulders, a new trait he had picked up to indicate he had no idea. "Mrrh come and goes. I just keep Roxy safe." He explained. Indicating that he didn't have any clue where Mrrh was as of late. He still was having a hard time visioning him as a good guy.

Ryuu nodded his head, "I come and go to, maybe I will get lucky and run across him again." He said, giving a smile before he shuffled over to Gera, looking over closely, seeming to be sizing him up, then after a moment he made a flying jump to land on one of his arms and set to climbing up him, settling down on his shoulder and poked at the gem he had set in it before looking over at Gera, "Where is Roxy?" He asked curiously, if Gera watched her maybe he would know where she was today.

For the first time it dawned on him he wasn't sure. He had been so absorbed in his running around and learning things and having an actual life of sorts that he had no clue where Roxy was. It was a trifling disturbing thought.

"I don't...know." He replied finally the urge to go on lockdown and find her was rising.

Ryuu looked more then a little confused as moved so that he look into the gem to see his reflection, grinning a bit then blinked, "Wow... I have a lot of frosting on me." He said, setting to work trying to clean himself off as a cat might. He watched Gera as he did so then gave a smile, "I am sure she is fine." He told him, giving the metal one a pat with one of his small hands.

Gera snapped out of it a moment later nodding his head slowly, "Yes...I suppose she will be okay.." his tone sounding more like he had before. more like a robot. Though he didn't look to Ryuu as he walked towards the sink to grab a paper towel to offer it to Ryuu, though he seemed rather distracted now.

Ryuu took the paper towel and set to rubbing against it to try to get the rest of the sugary icy off of himself, then he smiled up at Gera, smiling up at him though noticed that he was looking rather... stiff again, wasn't he? He wanted to make him feel better so he reached back to snag one of his blue stars and held it out to him, offering him it though he was sure that Gera had no idea what to do with it unlike Roxy or Mrrh, still if he thought it could make him perk up he would attempt it.
Gera looked down at the little one wondering what the star was for. It was silvery and he wondered if it was metal.

"Are you sure?" He asked sounding more like he had a moment ago, more..natural. "Is it made of metal?" he inquired bending over to take a look at the star.

Ryuu tilted his head to one side and seemed to be thinking on it, "Ahh.. Hmm... I'm not sure what its made of." He said, giving a bit of a smile. He had no clue, "All I know is they are magic!" He chirped, he couldn't explain why because it wasn't granting wishes if you told someone what the stars did. He had more fun granting the wishes that people said without really thinking, just wishing for something that came off the top of their head since at the time it was what they wanted.

Gera took the star and stared at it between his fingers. He couldn't absorb it, so it wasn't metal, and he wasn't sure what this...magic thing was about either. Magic?

"What does this magic do?" he asked looking to little little silver dragon finding this magic thing a very complex subject

Ryuu opened his mouth then closed it, head tilting to the side and seemed to be thinking on what he could say, "It... umm... makes people happy!" He said, well most of the time, there was always that one little hiccup of a wish that he'd granted that threw off his perfect record of making people happy after all. Still the majority of the wishes had gone well so he could say that his magic was for making people that way!

Gera looked the star over again a bit on the skeptical side. It made people happy? He rotated it so he cold look the whole thing over.

"How?" He asked as he had no idea how an item like this was suppose ot make people feel happy.

Ryuu tilted his head to the side and he seemed to be thinking for a moment more before tilting his head to the side, "Ahh... well.. you just have to..." He trailed off, unable to finish the thought, "They just do! With magic!" He said, wagging his tail and then hopped up and down on the shoulder of his metallic companion in hopes that he would understand the fact that they were just that amazing! They weren't something that could explained because he wasn't allowed to explain the tricks behind it.

Gera looked to the stare again and then a small box like hole seemed to open up on his free arm. "Mine? To keep?" he asked as he dropped the star into the crevice which was then plated up like a box.

Ryuu blinked a couple times as Gera took the star and dropped int into a strange hole that appeared in the side of his arm. The metal of his armor seemed to swallow up the star before he gave a slow nod of his head, "Ahh... sure! And one day you will say the magic words and poof! Instant happiness." He said, hoping that the metal one would figure it out so that he would get more out of the star then just a star to carry around that wouldn't really do much other then be star shaped.

Gera wondered why Silver couldn't just tell him the magic words, it seemed strange but he didn't argue. "Thank.. .you?" He replied as he then went to offer Silver his arm to grab hold of.

"Did you want to see if Roxy is home?"

He nodded his head rapidly, smiling in a happy manner, "Sure!" He chirp, crawling happily along his arm. He found that his arm was pretty good to crawl along since it seemed to have many groves to grasp hold of. He purred as he went then looked up at Gera, smiling and wagged his tail as he waited for him to go so they could search for the blond girl.

They looked all over the household but there was no Roxy to be found, Gera apologized and sighed.

"It's...strange..I always knew where she was..." He grumbled, "I wish I knew where she was Silver...then I'd know for sure where she was..."

Ryuu looked a little put out at first when it seemed that there was no Roxy anywhere to be had. So both of his best friends had gone MIA at the same time? A part of him wondered if they had left together without him, something that made him pout a little bit. Surely they wouldn't go out and have fun without him? He shook his head, well either way he would wait for them to... his line of thought trailed off and the stars around him started to whirl around in a circle like a frame and a picture appeared in it of Roxy, somewhat like watching a television.

"Ohhh... I wanna see!" He chirped, crawling up higher so that he could look into it to see what was in it.

The image was of Roxy she was talking with Kay and the scene seemed really familiar though he wasn't exactly sure why he remembered it.

"Oh..she is with Kay.." he murmured looking, he supposed Kay was safe enough. To Ryuu though the biggest difference was that Roxy looked..older.

Ryuu tilted his head to one side, taking in the details of Roxy's change then looked at Gera who had also changed... and then looked down at himself and found himself a little curious about what had caused them to change in such ways when he was staying the same. The stars whirled for a moment to before the burst off in all directions before they slowly returned to floating in a swarm all around the little dragon who gave a bit of a yawn. Some wishes left him a bit sleepy, "Did that help?" He asked of Gera.

Gera nodded his head, that was a very neat thing Silver did. He hadn't made the connection that his wording was what caused the stars to swirl around like that. He just thought it was something Silver could do with his magic.

"Yes...I..am happy to know she is safe." He replied noting the dragon looked tired.

"Did you want me to put you in Roxy's room?"

The little dragon shook his head, "Want to wait on Mrrh's couch, so I can see him if he comes home." He told the metal boy, giving a bit yawn before he nuzzled against a smooth section on Gera. He didn't know if the other boy would show up but he could always try he thought to himself in a sleepy manner.

Gera nodded his head and then headed down towards the stairs walking down them before he paused in front of the vacant couch that belonged to Mrrh. He still didn't understand why Silver loved Mrrh. But he lowered the dragon down so he could hop off of him.

The little dragon hopped down and shuffled along the couch and flopped over on it. He looked over at Gera and smiled, "You are nicer then I thought you were, Gera." He murmured, tail thumping lightly against the couch, "Thank you for playing with me today." With that his dark eyes fluttered closed and he was soon snoozing again, his body curling up into a glimmering silver ball.

Ryuusei looked the paper over before he went about the task that was replacing the cap on his pen, hopped down from the couch that Mrrh normally slept, and went shuffling off. He needed to be on his way to the park to see if he couldn't find his missing friend!

Ryuu, Roxy & the Day of Wishes: Part One

Ryuu had decided he was going to head out the moment that he was able. He waited on a shelf near to the door, waiting and waiting, and the moment a customer arrived he went shuffling passed them and out the door. He really did envy tall people and their hands he thought to himself as he looked over his shoulder for a moment before he pushed off the ground to float up in the air and went speeding along forward, weaving around people, over obstacles, and doing his best to stay far from any larger animals that were around. He was going to go to the park today, to see if Mrrh was there... though he was pretty sure that if he were in the park he couldn't have gotten lost since they had walked back from there before. He must be farther off then that... not to mention that the first time he'd checked the park when he went to dump some money into the Magic Fountain he hadn't seen him anywhere. He might have to go farther then the park... though the thought was a little intimidating as he hadn't really ventured farther then that before and was worried about ending up lost himself.

As he floated forward he went zipping by someone that made him come to a halt, nearly bouncing off someone in front of him before he turned around in a one eighty and went back the other way seeing a flash of brilliant blond hair, not Mrrh but someone who was nearly as important in his heart, "ROXY!" He squealed, tackling her... though given his size and weight it was more like someone tossing a magnet at a fridge then he just sort of stuck to her with his little arms and gave her his version of a hug, tail wagging.

Roxy had been out and about trying to get use to this being on her own thing. It still bothered her to be by herself. Though she told herself over and over again that it wasn't strange or weird to be by ones self. A lie.she tried to convince herself. She had stopped to window shop in front of a couple of stores mimicking the clothes before moving on. Okay to be honest she was bored. Utterly bored.

It was almost a relief having something hit her and then squeal her name was like having a rainbow suddenly brighten her day.

"SILVER!" She gave a more youthful shriek of joy as she went to scoop the little dragon up into her arms. "I haven't seen you in FOREVER!"

The little dragon smiled happily as he was scooped up and forgot for a moment that he'd been on a search for another missing friend since he had the good fortune of finding this one. He gave a happy purring sound and his tail set to wagging wildly as he looked at her, "I saw Roxy with Gera not long ago!" He said, "I saw you got big like Gera did! Its so... Wow!" He said in a rushed, snuggling against her hands in a happy manner as though he were trying to hug them as well.

Roxy giggled as she released her small little dragon pet, "Saw me? How you guys do that? I haven't seen Gera all day." She responded with a giggle and then at Ryuu's response to her grown she shifted her clothing to look sexier and did a cat walk around the floating dragon. "Don't I look FABULOUS?" she asked sounding rather dramatic but in a funny way.

He nodded, "Gera was worried, so he wished to know where you were so he would know that you were safe." He said, giving a tail wag, seeming quite happy that he was able to both grant another wish and more importantly he made Gera happy and that made him happy. He floated in the air, watching as the girl shifted her clothing and set to doing a model walk and he giggled, "Yes! Roxy always looks very cool!" He said in delight, the way that she made different flashy clothing had always impressed the little dragon.

Her clothes shifted again as she always like to mimic Silver's shininess, so her outfit became sleek tight and covered in silver sparkles. Smiling she reached out to Silver.

"He was worried about me? Funny..he hasn't really expressed any concern for me lately..." She replied offhandedly, she was trying to not sound hurt but it was true she missed him being her second louder shadow.

Ryuu's tail got to wagging that much faster if it were possible when she took on a silver look to her that was like his appearance, "Oooo, pretty!" He said, clapping his little hands before he moved out to land on her hand that was reaching out to her, "Yes, he even protected your cupcake from me for you." He said, shuffling his way up her arm so that he could perch on her shoulder like a little, silver parrot.

The blonde girl tilted her head and looked to Ryuu putting a hand on her hip. "My cupcake? You were trying to eat MY cupcake?" she said it all in a dramatic tone, she of course wasn't angry, just pretending. "Good thing I have my knight to protect it. " She continued with a scoff. She then broke into giggles and petted Ryuu on the head. "I mean gosh I just WISH i could have that cupcake right now to make sure it is okay..." The blonde stated with a wink as she knew that Ryuu had a habit of fulfilling her small little wants.

He giggled a bit, "He let me have the other one though! Oh it was soooo good!" He told her, sounding quite excited over the fact that he had gotten to eat such a yummy treat then nuzled against her, "I didn't though! I didn't eat yours! Its still there!" He said in a rushed manner, not wanting for her to be upset, though when she giggled he relaxed happily. He turned his head into her petting hand, purring as she stroked him, then smiled, "Oh!" He turned and reached out, grabbing hold of a green star and held it out Roxy so that she could take it and get the cupcake that she wanted...and maybe if he were lucky she might share a bite!

Roxy giggled as her slender fingers plucked that star out of his little hands and then waited for the magic to happen. It exploded and then materialized the cupcake right into her hand. She laughed always delighted as she then looked Ryuu over her hand still on her hip.

"Well now I suppose if Gera is my knight you are my magician. You have exceeded my expectations in bringing me my treasure. I suppose I should reward you?"

Ryuu starred at the cupcake that was summoned to Roxy's hand, his tail set to wagging in a happy manner, "I'm a magician? Yay!" He chirped, sounding quite delighted at getting to be called by such a fun title. He found himself turning to look at the cupcake she was holding and he did his best not to drool since this was Roxy's cupcake, he'd already eaten the other one he reminded himself. He lifted his gaze from him, as difficult as it was to do, and looked up at her, "Huh? Reward?" He shook his head rapidly, "I don't need rewards! I do it to make people happy."

Roxy made a tsking sound and half turned away, "Such a shame, you..refusing a reward from the Queen," she mourned as she put the back of her free hand to her forehead dramatically. A small silver crown suddenly appearing on her head, "Whatever shall I do with all this cupcake if my Magician won't accept it as my reward to his faithful service?"

The little dragon starred for a moment at the treat before he crawled up up onto her head and nudged against her crown in a playful manner, "This is cool!" He said, then turned his attention back to the cupcake, "We can... share it?" He suggested, if it weren't a reward for him granting her a wish and instead just them sharing a treat he wouldn't feel any guilt for that sort of thing he decided.

Roxy giggled and nodded her head slightly as she didn't want to dislodge the tiny dragon from her head. Moving forward she went to unwrap the cup cake and then rip a bit of the bottom off before lifting it up towards Ryuu's mouth.

"Yes we can share it. I am still surprised Gera went and got cupcakes though...he'd changed a lot."

Ryuusei wiggled his way under the crown then sat up with it carefully balanced on him, it was far to big but that was what made it look cute on him, "King Dragon Ryuusei!" He chirped then looked down at the sugary treat in shock and awe when she said that she would in fact share with him, "Yay! Cupcake! Cupcake!" He said in a sing song voice before he wiggled out of the crown, hopped down to her arm, and shuffled toward the cupcake.

"Gera is different." He agreed, looking over at Roxy, "He actually talked to me!" He sounded quite surprised and delighted over that simple action.

Roxy giggled and nodded her head looking a bit on the sad side. "Yes..he had opened up a lot hasn't he..on one side she was glad he was being more social. On the other side she was being left alone... a LOT.

"Hey now..you can't be king unless you marry a queen silly. And your my magician, so how could you become king?" She asked allowing him to eat whatever portion of the cup cake he could reach. She then paused..Ryuusei? Who was that?

"Don't you mean king silver dragon?"

If dragons could blush he likely would have as he shook his head rapidly, "Ahh... I... am a bit to young for getting married!" He squeaked, hiding his face against her arm for a moment before he lifted it again and smiled at her, "How...? Ahh... I used my magic to become King!" He said, even though he couldn't use his powers for himself it sounded good as a reason behind how he rose to king status. He blinked up at her before giggling, "Oh! Yes, I like that! King Silver Dragon!" His tail swished behind him before he scooted a little farther down her arm toward the cupcake as though he were preparing a sneak attack against the unsuspecting treat.

Roxy only giggled and shook her head, "Nuh uh..you can't use magic to become King. Not unless you pull a magic sword out of a stone. That's okay." She tsked him again watching as he readied to pounce on that cupcake. She had been pulling cake off the bottom of it eating the bottom out so all that wold be left was a thin layer of cake and then ICING.

"Alright... well I will have to find me a Magic Sword! I wonder if its near that Magic Fountain I visited." He murmured, tilted his head to the side in a thoughtful manner. He gave a half shrug, not quite knowing, then turned to stare at the cupcake hat that was left over after Roxy ate the stump park, "Bite? Please?" He asked, doing his best not to drool now. Roxy seemed to be enjoying the treat and as tempted as he was to dive into it he would refrain until she was done.

The blonde hmmmed a bit before nodding, "Yes my good magician you can have the rest," She announced moving the cup cake top closer to the dragon so he wouldn't have to leap for it. "Magic fountain? You found a magic fountain? Oooooo where is it Silver? I should go make a wish, I am sure I have some change on me."

Ryuu was instantly digging into the cupcake top, polishing it off in only a few bites, chewing, and swallowed, then wagged his tail rapidly, "Ohhh, that sooo good!" He chirped, looking rather delighted over the taste of the sweets that she shared with him. He then lifted his head up as he licked his mouth clean of the frosting, swallowing the last bit of cupcake, "Mmm, yes! Its supposed to grant wishes if you throw money in it! I don't have any change though so I can't ask it for anything." He said, giving a little pout. It was quite unfair, "The Fountain doesn't seem very nice, wanting money for wishes." He grumbled, he didn't ask for anything for wishes, mean fountain.

Roxy laughed and then leaned over to give Ryuu a kiss on the head, "Your cute Silver, but maybe its harder for the fountain to grant wishes so it needs the money?" She pointed out as she turned in a random direction and headed towards the park. She recalled seeing a fountain there before..."and you can use some of my coins Silver..no fair that you can't get a wish of your own granted."

He got a thoughtful look on his face, harder for the fountain, huh? Well he supposed that could be true he thought to himself. He gave a gasp of delight, "Ah! Really? That would be great!" He chirp, hopping up and down on her arm in a slightly sugared up manner, "Yes! I need a wish!" This would be great! The fountain would give him exactly what it was that he needed so long as he paid if off.

Roxy laughed as she carried them both towards the fountain she was 99% sure was there. She walked a series of different walks as if practicing each type with her high high heeled shoes.

"What would you wish for Silver?" she asked in a very curious manner. Though she noticed they were at the fountain already. She paused and then shifted a moment,

"huh.....?" She stated as she noticed yes it was a fountain but it was bone dry...and not a single coin in it.

Ryuu looked over at Roxy then looked a bit thoughtful, telling his wish wouldn't ruin it would it? He wasn't sure but he sure hoped not, "I want to know a secret that so far I haven't been able to figure out on my own." He told her before turning toward the fountain as they got close to it and he gave a choked sound, jumping off her shoulder to land at the edge. He starred at it for a long moment before jumping into the empty basin, shuffling from side to side then made a full circle around it before he got back to Roxy and starred up at her in a shocked and hurt manner, "T-The... fountain is... is broke, Roxy." He said, looking as though he might burst into tears at any moment.

Roxy watched the small dragon move and she quickly had to think up something to tell him.

"no no no you silly magical silver dragon, its not broke." She corrected him as she rapidly tried to think up something. "Uh...you see its just having a bath. You know take out the old water and get new water is how a fountain gets a bath." she quickly explains.

He gave a sniffling sound, "Not... broke?" He looked up at her for a long moment before nodding, Roxy would never lie to him so he was sure that much be it. He crawled out of the basin and then hopped up onto her once more, "How long will it take? Are we going to wait for it?" He asked for her, wondering if she would wait for the fountain to be refilled so that they would be able to throw water into it to get their wishes from the Magic Water.

Roxy had no idea but judging on the pylons cones and do not cross this line signs ..awhile.

"Uh... fountains take very LONG baths...though maybe we can come back tomorrow and check to see if its done.." she offered as she hated to see the poor dragon all crushed like that.

He looked disappointed as he flopped down on her shoulder and nuzzled against her shoulder, looking as though he were pouting and sulking, "Wanted my wish." He said, his tail wrapping around Roxy so that he wouldn't risk falling off of her. He looked up at her, eyes widening when she said they could try again ocme tomorrow. That was a rather good thing to hear and he hoped that the fountain would be ready for more change to get tossed inside of it. Maybe by then he would be able to find an even large group of pennies to toss in all at once to make sure the wish went through.

Roxy nodded her head, trying to think of a way to pass the time and keep the small dragon preoccupied and happy. A light bulb went off.

"Hey! I know Silver! We should start a piggy bank for you! We can collect coins to put in your wishing bank and then when its full to the brim we can come back!" She announced her grand plan as she really wanted to distract the dragon as she had no idea how long it would take the fountain to ...fix itself.

Gera the Bank: Part One

This was a VERY serious situation, very serious, Roxy hmmmed and hawed as she examined the dumped contents of her star shaped change purse. Newly acquired you could say, and she hmmmed some more as she went about separating the pennies from the larger stuff. She had quite a few pennies....

"Hrms...looks like..." she went to add up the change..."About a dollar worth here...mostly copper." She stated pointing to the one centers all piled into nice little piles of ten. Easier to count anyway.

"What you got Silver?" She asked looking to the small dragon to see what he may of found in the couches.

Ryuu lifted his head up from where he was wiggling his way under the cushions on the couch, "Five big silver ones, three medium silver ones, seven little silver ones, and... a lot of the copper ones." He said, he'd lost count with those. Who would have thought that couches had a taste for eating coins? It was a rather interesting thing to learn and he could only hope that in retaliation for taking the coins that the couch didn't eat him instead.

Roxy gave a small crow, "Awesome! bring em over Silver we can count up our bounty and see if its enough to appease the god of the fountain." She continued, having elaborated on the story of the wising fountain a bit more..to make it more..dramatic. And theatrical. She loved a good drama. "remember what I told you..the Fountain god is rather lazy and greedy we have to bribe him if we wanna make sure your wish comes true." she continued, though in all honesty she was trying to prolonged this going to the fountain thing, she knew the dragon could grant wishes...but fountains? not really and she didn't want to see the poor thing heartbroken.

Ryuu looked at the pile of coins before he picked up all that he could to fly them to the table, making several trips to actually get them all there before he nodded his head, "It doesn't seem very nice of the Fountain God." He said, then looked over the change that they had, wondering if it was enough, "This seems like lots! Will the God like this much?" He asked of Roxy who seemed to be quite smart as well as being very well informed about the Lazy God.

Roxy looked the pile over and then tilted her head, rubbing her chin thoughtfully, "Hrms......" She was thinking allowed when suddenly the glowing figure of her brother came into view. "GERA!" she cried out getting up abruptly, and moving towards her brother who merely stared at her as if startled.

"we need your help Gera, " she waved towards the coinage on the table. "We need more coins to appease the fountain god."

The little dragon spun around quickly when he saw Roxy go racing over to Gera and he quickly followed landing on Roxy first then jump onto Gera's shoulder, "Can you help!?" He asked, almost as dramatically given the fact that he was getting swept up in Roxy's mood as well as swept up in the story that she had told him. Gera was strong! Surely he would know what to do as well?

"Please, Gera?" He asked, giving the metal one his best puppy dog eyes.

Gera looked to his sister and then to Ryuusei and looked obviously dumbfounded with the sudden request for help. Help? With...what? And what was a fountain god? He was so very lost...

"what...am I doing?" he asked tentatively, though Roxy had already grabbed his metallic hand and then dragged him over tot he table covered in coins. She gestured to it dramatically.

"We need more coins to appease the fountain god. We need your help to find more." She explained with a curt nod of her head.

Gera lifted a hand to the table to look at these coins...and suddenly they all seemed to shiver...and then rattle across the table to Gera's outstretched hand...sticking to him like a magnet and then absorbed.

Roxy only looked at him...dumbfounded..

"You...didn't...just...do that.."

Ryuu gave a happy sound when Roxy out Gera to work, he wondered if he would be able to pick up the couch so that they would be able to look under it for any coins that had fallen there. He looked at Gera as he walked over to the table to look at the coins, "This is what we have collected so far! They are going to go..." He trailed off as he watched the coins as they started to shiver on the table and then suddenly went racing toward Gera's hand, "Wha?" He looked more then a little shocked by the fact that the coins were going to him.

A squeal of shock escaped from the dragon as the offering that was supposed to be for the Lazy Fountain God stuck to Gera and then was absorbed into him. The dragon jumped down off of his shoulder the land in front of him, pushing his little hands against Gera's larger one, "No... no! Come back coins!" He said, as though calling after them would bring them back from being absorbed by the metal boy.

There seemed to be a moment of perplexed stillness. Roxy gaping and then rubbing her head in frustration.

"GERA you weren't suppose to eat them!" She exclaimed which caused Gera to take a step backwards.

"I..di..didn't mean to..." He apologized though his attention went back to the little dragon now trying to get his hard earned coinage back.

"I'm ..sorry..." He apologized feeling horrible. It was a new feeling..he didn't like it much. Looking to his hand annoyed he then stared at it. There was a rippling effect and suddenly the coins seemed to be blossoming out of his fingers and dropping back onto the table. Well then...

Roxy stared at him. "OH MY GOODNESS! SILVER! GERA IS THE BEST PIGGY BANK EVER!" She squealed

Ryuu looked a bit tearful at the lost of their hard earned, in a manner of speaking, money. He plopped down on his backside and starred up at Gera as Roxy scolded him. He gave a sniffle then gave a little shake of his head, "Its... its okay, Gera." He murmured, unable to really stay upset at anyone in particular. He wondered if he should go and check the couch again... when suddenly the coins were returning, falling from Gera's fingers to land on the table around him and he gave a gasping sound, "Ah! The coins came back!" He cried, running around in an excited circle as he looked them all over.

Gera the Bank: Part Three

Roxy helped him out and Gera merely watched looking to the couch and back to Silver as if wondering what they were talking about. Couches...didn't eat. Did they? He wondered what they meant, what exactly they were doing and leaned over to watch Silver more closely.

"Coins grant wishes?" He asked looking at the rather full jar.

Roxy nodded her head though gave her brother a look like don't ask me to explain. PLEASE.

"Yes of course, Silver's been working so hard to gather all these up haven't you?

Ryuu looked up at them, "Yep! We are gonna feed them to the Lazy Fountain God and he is gonna give me my wish!" He chirped, tail wagging wildly behind him. He was young and naive, that he believed Roxy's story completely proved that. He patted his hand against the jar that had the coins in it before he plopped down on his backside and looked over to Roxy and Gera, "So, what do we do next?" He asked of them, they were older and bigger so they must know!

Roxy nodded her head and she wished that she hadn't come up with such a good story for the fountain. Right..uh now what. She wished had a better idea of what Ryuu wanted...

"We could go visit the fountain and see if it's done its bath?" She offered a bit reluctantly. Gera stared at her.

"Fountains don't.."

"YES they do Gera..when they are wishing fountains." Roxy stated firmly.

Ryuu looked back and forth between the pair before he smiled, tail swishing behind him as he hopped up onto the Jar and from it onto Roxy's shoulder. The little dragon wrapped himself around the girl's neck lie an ornate silver necklace before he smiled, "Ready to go!" He chirped, purring a bit in delight. Time to go and check on the fountain, to see if it would be ready yet. He sure hoped so! He would be careful though not to get his hopes up though, since the Fountain God was lazy that might mean it could take some time for its bath.

Roxy was hoping that the fountain would still be out of service. Oh please let it be out of service...

"Gera you better grab the money, no eating it this time..and come on Silver let's get going," She stated moving towards the door and going to open it. "We shall make a trip to the fountain and see if its ready yet."

Gera nodded his head and then gathered up the jar and followed closely behind them.

Silver nodded his head, wiggling a bit in excitement as he watched the way that Gera picked up the jar, heard the jingling of the many coins, and it was easy to tell that he was oh so very excited over the whole thing. Yes, yes! Time to see if the fountain was ready, time to try to make his wish! Though... he would need to think about it hard now. He couldn't wish for the fountain to give him the answer to what he was looking for which meant that he had to decide upon what he wanted to get for Mrrh and then wish for it! Just like people wished for things from him! Hrm, now... what to get for him.

It was important that he figure out something that he would like, something that he would want, something useful to him. He kept coming back to the idea that Mrrh was trying to become prettier, so what else could make him pretty? He didn't think that pretty clothing would be something he would want, that was more what Roxy liked. Maybe something else... not make up, that was for girls, so were pretty shoes from what he'd seen while he was out and about... so what else could make a person pretty? He seemed to be thinking quite hard from by the look on his face and the way his tail was twitching.

Roxy was humming as they walked along, after all she wanted to keep things light and upbeat, ignoring the sense of dread that was filling her stomach the closer they got to the fountain. If it was back that meant Silver would want to make a wish...and she had a feeling that the fountain wouldn't grant any real wishes.

"There it is." Gera pointed out as they neared, the cones and yellow tape was gone.. a bad sign for the blond. She could even hear the water running again.

"Aha..so it is.." She laughed trying to ignore the fact she felt really awkward at this moment.

Ryuu perked up, "Ah? Can you tell if its working? Or is it still getting fixed?" He asked of the blond girl, coming out of his deep thought on what he should be doing for Mrrh. He squirmed a bit in anticipation. Of course he was a little worried... what if the fountain was ready and he didn't know what to ask it for? Would it demand more money from them? He started to bounced a bit on her shoulder.

Roxy stared at the running fountain and she hmmmed and hawed on how to reply.

"ah...yes I think so.." She finally spoke as they moved towards the fountain and then she leaned forward to allow the small dragon to pop down off of her shoulder.

"All we can do it try, you have to toss the coins into the fountain and then make your wish..but you can't tell anyone what it is.." She explained wishing in an afterthought she hadn't said the second part. It would be handy to know what he was wishing for.

Gera looked at the star piggy bank and went to place it beside Silver, seemed like an awful waste to toss all those into the water. Just to make a wish? Wishes were a bit beyond the golem boy. He honestly didn't understand them.

Silver starred into the water for a long moment then leaned on his bank looking quite thoughtful. What to wish for... what to wish for... he needed something for Mrrh, what did he think that the boy would want? He cocked his head to one side in a thoughtful manner, tail thumping against the ground and then a thought came to mind. He recalled some beads that Miss Trinity had, he'd seen them in a bowl, he head heard Gera got them from a store for her. His eyes got wide and he nodded. That was it! He needed beads! Then he could piece them together and they could be worn and help Mrrh on his path to becoming pretty!

He gave a squealing sound as it was decided upon before he popped open the bank and carefully tipped it over to pour out the contents into the fountain.

There was the splish splash as the coins dropped into the fountain and the girl shifted from foot to foot rather uncomfortable. She really wanted to know what he had wished for.

"Uh..did you make your wish?" She inquired as the last coin plopped into the water. A mound of them now piled in the water.

Gera went to lean over the edge so he could watched them as they fell into the water.

Ryuusei nodded his head rapidly, "Yes! I did and I will be careful to keep it a secret so that it will come true." He promised before he closed up the star bank and moved to hop up into Roxy's arms and from them to her shoulder. He settled down on her shoulder and nuzzled against her cheek before waiting, "Is... is it instant like stars? Or do we have to wait?" He asked of the blond girl, starring at the fountain in a hopeful manner, worried that the offering wasn't enough to pay off the fountain.

Roxy chewed on the inside of her cheek. "Ah..no fountains have to use a lot of energy to grant wishes. Sometimes it can take daaaaays." She explained hoping that it would satisfy the dragon for the time being.

Gera had reached his hand into the fountain seemingly entranced with the small glittering coins that covered the bottom. They slowly began to roll towards him like a magnet.

"Gera!" Roxy hissed the boy lifting his head as if confused. "Don't do that. you'll wreck any one else's chance at getting their wishes ." She snapped.

"Ohhhh, wow! Really?" He murmured, supposed he could understand. He'd been left pretty tired after granting two wishes in a row and this fountain had a lot of people coming over to toss coins into it, "I see, I will do my best to be patient." He told his friend, then turned to watched, eyes wide, as Gera tried to steal some of the coins that were in the fountain. Roxy scolded him though which she seemed to be doing a lot today.

Gera withdrew his hand from the water sheepishly before going to stand back up. His sibling only rolled her eyes.

"Gosh I can't leave you alone for a moment, " She lectured wondering for the moment who the older sibling was suppose to be.

Reaching a hand up she patted Silver on the head, "Let's head back then, no use standing here else it will just be more tempting for Gera to eat the coins.." she joked.

Ryuu nodded, looking over at Gera, "Can you carry my bank again, please?" He murmured, tail swishing before he wrapped himself around Roxy once more, giving the fountain a last glance before nodded, "Can we make cookies?" He asked, his mind already on something else now that the wish was made.

Roxy only giggled and then nodded her head, "Yes yes...can't guarantee I won't burn them though.." She teased happy that Silver seemed to be focusing on something else now that his wish was made.

Learning the Truth from Roxy

Roxy was in her room, in deeper thought since her meeting with Mrrh. He had been acting funny when he was here. And he literally had run away from her when he left. Laying on her stomach on the bed she looked over as Silver came trotting back into her room his jar of coins dragging along with him awkwardly. She tried to have a smile on her face though it seemed forced, what was she going to tell Silver? He adored Mrrh so much...

"Hey there...good haul you got today." She started as she went to sit up.

He smiled brightly up at her as he moved to the dresser where his back was located. He wrapped himself around the jar before floating his way up to where his bank was waiting, "There were girls at the park today that took their pictures with me!" He said, tail wagging as he set to work to popping the top of his jar and transferred the coins from one container to the other, "It was funny, they thanked me even though they gave me lots of coins." He found it odd but at least they were nice! They were really cuddly as well which Ryuu always loved, nothing was better then snuggles if you asked the little, silver dragon.

Roxy smiled a more sincere smile as she reached out a finger to tickle the dragons tail.

"Well I am glad that you got a lot of coins...I guess your wish hasn't come true yet?" She inquired offhandedly since the dragon was still collecting coins she would guess the answer was no. Now how to bring up Mrrh...

"Don't suppose you've seen Mrrh have you?"

"Not yet, I was thinking maybe we hadn't gotten enough for a proper offering. I will keep collecting them though." He said, tail swishing behind him. He replaced the top on the jar before he hopped from the top of the dresser into the air and floated the short distance to the girl's arm and settled down on it, nuzzling against her.

At the mention of their missing friend he shook his head, "I didn't spot him at the park when I was there or on the journey there and back, you don't think he really is lost do you?" He asked, sounding quite worried. Sure Mrrh didn't need to eat so he wouldn't starve by getting lost... but it was still a worrisome situation if you asked him.

She chewed on the inside of her lip, pondering if she should tell Silver or not. Giving a sigh she shook her head,

"No..I'm sorry Silver but you missed him...he was here earlier.." She stated with a soft sigh. How to explain the rest of this to him was going to be hard.

" i...I don't think he is coming back.."

Ryuu's dark eyes got wide, "Missed... him?" He asked, sounding as though he didn't quite understand what she was saying, "How long ago? Could I catch up?" He looked in the direction of the door to the room, looking as though he were going to jump off of Roxy's arm to try to give chase... and then he froze in place at her words. He blinked a couple times before he turned to look up at her, looking confused, "H-Huh...? Of course he'll come back." He said, if he came back once surely he would come back again, right?

She shook her head again, "I don't think so Silver...he was acting really strange...and he bolted out of here...he was hurt too..." She murmured drawing her knees up to her chest , "He wouldn't tell me where he had been..or anything..." the sigh was loud and audible. "I'm sorry Silver..."

The little dragon looked confused as he starred up at his blond friend, turning to look at the door for a moment, over to the door again, and back. It seemed as though his little mind was whirling and struggling, "B-But... he... he has to come back!" He told her, "The Fountain hasn't given me my wish yet! I haven't gotten the beads and I can't make his present... I need to give him his present!" He jumped off of her, landing heavily on his little feet before he started to shuffle off toward the door. He had to find Mrrh... had to find more coins to pay off the fountain... had to do a lot of things... so many things. He was moving a bit fast, the world went weirdly blurry from tears, and the little dragon ran into the wall next to the open doorway with a little 'thud'.

He blinked a couple times as he rubbed his head with the end of his tail... then started to sniffle... then burst into tears, "I hurt my head..." He murmured, as though that were what was making him cry instead of the other things bothering him.

Roxy quickly when to reach for the dragon when he burst into tears, sweeping him up into her arms. Cuddling him into her chest as she kissed his head as if hoping to help make him feel better. She stroke him, scratched him trying anything she could to try and calm him down.

"shhhs shhh..there there.." She murmured rocking him back and forth like a mother would to sooth a baby.

"It's okay...he may not be coming back here...but I am sure we can find him.. so you can give him your present."

Ryuusei as a little surprised as he was scooped up and rubbed his face against Roxy to try to free himself from the haze to tears but it didn't seem to help as each time he was able to get rid of them more took the place of the ones that were wiped away. After a time the little dragon seemed to give up trying to stop them. Instead he just curled up against his friend, sniffling quietly. His tail wrapped around her arm in a childish manner, seeming as though he were afraid that Roxy would disappear as well.

"I... I... should have waited... to... to talk to him instead of... of leaving..." He said, thinking that he could have done something, said something to keep his friend from leaving. He couldn't believe that the one time Mrrh returned, the last time from the sounds of it, and he'd missed him because he was off making friends and collecting coins. He felt silly about it.

Roxy felt horrible but she had to tell him, it was one thing to white lie about the fountain...but this was rather important to the small dragon. and she couldn't lie to him about that.

"Shhhh don't say silly things like that, it'd not like you knew he was coming...neither did I...I think he was hoping no one was here.." She mused more out loud that she meant. "Uh...I mean I am sure we will find him again! don't worry the city isn't that big and his stuff is still here.."

Ryuu sniffled again before giving a half nod, "I... I see..." Mrrh had come by hoping nobody was around? He didn't like the sound of that... it made him worry, Mrrh was avoiding them? He looked up at her with teary eyes before he lowered his head to rest it against her, "He... does he want us to...? Is he mad at us?" He asked, sounding worried. Was this because he was always asking Mrrh to make him food? Because he was always underfoot and bothering him? He hadn't meant to do that... maybe that meant he needed to find one of those 'I'm sorry' types of gifts as well? That was tough since that meant finding two presents now instead of just the one 'thank you' present.

Roxy hugged him more, wishing she had more she could tell him...but honestly Mrrh had come, stuttered a bunch and avoided her questions altogether. It had hurt her too...in fact she had gone and cried herself. She had gathered her wits somewhat since then.

"I am not sure...I don't think so...he..was really weird.." she murmured kissing Ryuu's head again. "Last time you met with him was there anything odd about him?"

Ryuu tilted his head in a thoughtful manner, "Weird?" He asked, seeming to be trying to think hard on it. Was there anything weird about last time? There were those marks on his arms, "Mrrh... have you seen Mrrh's arm?" He asked curiously of Roxy, wondering if the pretty, pattern he had there, "Its like..." He trailed off then shook his head rapidly, he'd promised Mrrh that he wouldn't tell Roxy and he didn't want to risk making his friend any more upset with them so if she hadn't seen his arm then Ryuusei wasn't going to go into detail.

Roxy gave Silver an interesting look, "On his arm?...no...but his neck was bandaged up...Silver...what did you see?" She inquired making her voice sound more serious than it had even been. After all if silver had any idea on what could of possible made Mrrh act so weird..

"His neck too?" He asked, looking a bit more worried as he leaned into her, "His... leg as well..." He murmured, he wasn't supposed to tell. He couldn't go back on his promise but now he was worried about Mrrh that much more. What if he were hurting? What if he were to get sick from his wounds? His tail tightened its hold on Roxy's arm when she tried to inquire more from him and he lifted his head to look up at her in an uncertain manner, then looked away, "Ahh... I..." He shouldn't have said anything he thought to himself.

Roxy's eyes widened, "Are you serious? He was that hurt?? How long ago was this Silver?" She inquired looking more and more worried by the moment. ON his arm...leg..and now his neck?? This was turning more and more grim.

"Silver this is very serious..I am sure Mrrh would want us to know what is wrong..if we knew we could help him.."

He looked more then a little uncomfortable, squirming a bit as she asked him, "Umm... some time ago, when he made me noodles. I found him in the park! His arm was already better, he said it didn't hurt anymore! But his leg was hurting... I accidentally sat on it." He sounded quite guilty over that still since the last thing he'd wanted to do was to hurt his friend in such a manner. He looked up at the blond girl, head tilting to one side, "He... he said to promise, to not to tell..."

Roxy gave a bit of a sigh, shaking her head like this was all very distressing news.

"What an idiot. Why would he make you promise such a thing? If he isn't feeling well..." She paused...she had tackled him when he had shown up...she winced. Ooo...she probably hurt him... That could explain a few things...like why he was acting so weird.

"We'll find him Silver...don't worry."

Ryuusei curled up against her, nuzzling against her, "I'm sorry." He murmured, he felt bad for having to keep things from Roxy when he loved the girl but he couldn't break a promise as that would be a very bad thing... he didn't want to be a bad dragon after all, not again. He had to be careful so he could remain as a good dragon that granted good wishes. His tail lashed as she told him that they would find Mrrh and he nodded. He did want to find him... but first he had to get his gifts. He didn't want to show up empty handed.

The Lazy Fountain God was taking far to long for his liking in granting wishes, he would need to find beads on his own!
