Welcome to Gaia! ::

How we met:

"Only you," My brother Bob said with a glare, "Would want to go stargazing at this time of year." He snuggled deeper into his fur lined parka.

"I wanna find Draco. Plus, it's a clear night, and we have some decent stargazers staying for Christmas." I replied stubbornly. Joshua, one of the decent stargazing guests I mentioned, laughed and patted Bob's head.

"And rider worth their salt can pick out Draco." He said, puffing out his chest. Glow glared at him.

"Of course, it's in a completly different position up here!" She grumbled. Her grandfather calmly pointed at the sky.

"There. The four stars in a smushed box shape. Then the tail follows up with a northern curve." Both Glow and Joshua crained their heads up to stare at the sky.

"Thanks, Gar. I allways have a hard time picking out the tail end." I said, peering up myself. Gareth smiled a bit smugly.

"There. You found the stupid constelation. Can we go inside now?" Bob growled.

"You can. I'm going to get some stargazing lessons from Gareth." Glow and Joshua both stood up and stretched. While they were busy, I was watching the sky with a frown. "Hey. Is that normal?"

All eyes returned to the sky as a twinkling light fell from the sky. "Falling star." Glow said with a shrug. She returned inside with Bob, while the two men stayed outside.

Joshua was first to notice the problem. "The old pole star's missing." He pointed towards the dragon's tail with, was indeed, missing a star.

"Odd." Gareth said cheerfully. "I want some cocoa." And so he returned inside, leaving me with his son.

"Maybe that galaxy blew up, and the light's just reaching us?" I asked. Joshua, looking a bit shaken, shook his head.

"We'd see a flash of light. Not just a falling sta-" His eyes widened as the falling star got brighter and brighter. He instictivly ducked to the ground and I followed him. Not that the star came anywhere near us, but, hey. When a guy that's seven foot tall falls to the ground and covers his head, you tend to follow him.

We both stood up rather quickly and stared to the neihbor's feilds. The star crashed down somewhere past their cow pastures, as the angry cow sounds led me to beleive. The house lights flipped on.

"You know," Joshua started up coversationally, "metorites usually have valuable metals inside of them. And it would be a shame for the Robinsons to get them." I grinned and agreed. After climbing up my eight foot fence we ran through their horse feilds, and into the cow pasture. Joshua cursed angrily, and I had a feeling he soiled his dainty boots.

"Woah." Was the first word out of my mouth when we came upon the landing site. Hey, I don't see big smoking craters every day.

"Now, where's the metorite?" Joshua grumbled, scraping his shoes on the grass. All that came from me was a small whimper as I slid into the hole. A whimper answered me from the hole as it's tiny occupant tried to hide from me.

"It's okay, little man." I cooed, reaching out my hand. It blinked at me and growled, then lunged at the hand. "Now now, that's not nice!" I scooped up the little creature, and curses were heard in the distance.

"We'd best go. They're usually drunk." Joshua said. We both started running as fast as our legs could take us, once again momentarily delayed in the cow pasture. We finally ended up right where the envening started, by the picnic table. I placed the little creature down on the snowy table and he glared at me, shaking.

"It's a little dragon boy!" I cooed again, snuggling him. I can only immagine the look on his little face. There was a hissing little giggle and my back suddenly got a lot warmer...

"You're on fire." Joshua said cheerfully, grabbing my little dragon as I started to roll in the snow. The flames quelled, I took posseson of him again.

"That's not nice, little guy." I scolded. He blinked his large eyes at me and whimpered. "Awww, you're too cute!" He giggled again, then rubbed his belly. "Well then, let's rustle you up some grub."

As we made our way into the house, he chewed happily on my arm.
