"Dustyn, wait.....Wait, wait, wait. Did you see that?"
"See what?"
"There was a light that just glowed in the water. I think our powder touched something."
"Yeah, and something else is going to touch us if we don't hurry up. Let's hide in here."
"They really are like scavengers."
"They'll never find it."
"But they will pick through the School looking for any scrap they can get."
"Let em have it. We'll wait right here when they are done so they don't smell our scent."
"Dustyn?"
"Yes?"
"Do you think anybody is mising us?"
"What kind of question is that?"
"Well, the Dragons just wiped out everything you loved, and…."
"The School? Haaa. There is nothing I love there. After what I loved left, I ceased to feel."
"You mean your family?"
"No, silly.
*Boop*
You.
My family is home, safe and sound. That is what keeps me going everynight, but when I lost you…..I didn't know what to do."
"You could have came with. Ariel was.....Oh yeah. Forgot."
"Anyways, somebody had to keep everyone in shape for you.
How goes the new School?"
"....Rocky."
"Very…..great…..description."
"Did you want me to elaborate?"
"No. No. 'Rocky' will do."
"Thanks, cause I don't feel in a chatty mood."
"Something wrong?"
"My mom told me a Storm was coming. If this were the storm, wouldn't Dragons come in you know…..a little more quietly?"
"You believe something is more to follow."
"Exactly....but what?"
BAAAPIRRRRRASSSCCCCSSHHHHHHHH*
"Whatever it is, we'll figure it out tomorrow...…Together."
"I'd love that."
"Stephanie.
I can make a blanket out of air, but that's about it. Harder to pull everything else out especially in this rain. So..."
"Dustyn, you don't even have to ask.
*Oof….ooof*
You're sweaty."
"Hard work….all the effort."
"I'm sure that's what the smell is.
Goodnight."
".....Goodnight, Ruby.
Goodnight...….Ruby?"
"Yes?"
"Do you think we'll get her back, or is she gone for good?"
"My powers can't predict the future or what you are going to do, you know. Just how you feel about something.
And right now....."
"Please don't say it. Please don't say it."
"Rainbow's body is calm.
But that could mean a number of things. She could be sleeping. She could be plotting. She could be partying and having a good time, or she….."
"Ruby."
"....She's at peace and feels she is finally in the spotlight."
"That's what I thought."
"We'll get her back, Natysh."
"Yeah…..but which way? In pieces...or in a whole?"
"Just pray, Natysh. Pray for guidance.
We all want the same thing."
"I'd be lying if I'd say I knew what that was."
