Word count: 3,664

"Hey. Is the new kid here yet?," a Furry animal, who was wearing a suit, asks as he walks in the front door. down the hall, a teen with brown hair, also wearing sunglasses and a grey and black shirt and pants plus an amulet, looks down the hallway.

"No. He's supposed to be here in a few hours. You get the stuff for his room?," the teen asks. The animal nods and holds up the bags he had carried in. "Good. Hey Mitch! Come help Jerome with the stuff!"

Another teen, this time with caramel brown hair and wearing a black-and-red checkered jacket, jogs down the stairs and past the teen wearing the sunglasses. "What did you get for him?," the new teen, Mitch, asks Jerome.

"You'll see when we put the stuff in his room. C'mon," Jerome says, running ahead of Mitch and up the stairs. The first teen watches and chuckles, shaking his head.

"Hey Sky," a voice says from behind him. Sky turns and sees another teen, this time a mudkip hybrid in a grey suit, walking up to him.

"What's up Husky?"

"Are you positive that the new kid actually wants to come to this school? I mean, you know the amount of kids who got dumped here by their parents," Husky says.

"I'm sure that, wherever he is right now, he's ecstatic to start coming here."

"Tyler! Hurry up and get down here! If you want to get to that stupid school in time, we have to leave in ten minutes!," a woman yells from the living room where she was folding some laundry.

"I don't want to go to his school, mom! You're making me! I didn't even want these stupid-" Then a crash is heard and Tyler's mother sighs.

"It'll do us all good. You'll get to be around... your kind... and we won't have to replace all the stuff you break!," she yells. Finally, Tyler comes down the stairs.

He had reddish-brown hair that went over one of his purple eyes, and had a white shirt and gray pants on along with black shoes with purple laces. On his back were two massive wings with black scales and purple fans, along with a black tail that attached to the bottom of his spine. Though it couldn't be seen, he had two fangs instead of canine teeth on the top row of teeth in his mouth.

"I... uh... knocked over a lamp in the hallway when I turned. Sorry," he says. His mother rolls her eyes and puts the shirt she was folding down, grabbing a rope and turning to him.

"Lets get those things bound to your back," she says.

"But Mom. It's a three hour drive. You know hour soar they'll be? And when we get there I won't be the only one with wings. Is there really any reason I should have them bound to me?," he complains. His mother ignores it and wraps the rope around him, pulling and constricting his wings. "Ouch! Mom. Careful."

"Oh be quiet. Get your stuff and get in the car. We only have eight minutes before we leave," she says. He sighs, grabbing his suitcase and pulling it behind him as he walks down the driveway toward the car. His mother exits a bit later, seeing him standing outside the open car door after he had put his stuff in the back. "Tyler. Get in the car."

Tyler sighs again and maneuvers his way into the car, making sure his wing wasn't blocking the way of the door before he closed it. His mother gets into the driver's seat and buckles up, then putting the keys in and looking at him.

"We won't be stopping along the way, so get comfortable," she says. Then she pulls out of the driveway and they head down the road.

Tyler looks through his window at the massive fence that lined a bunch of buildings. There was a sign over the entrygate, and it read, 'Notch's Academy for Talented Individuals'. He watches it as his mother drives them under it, then looked ahead. A bunch of kids from the age of around ten and up were watching his car as it passed, which made him feel nervous and he sunk back in his seat. At least, as much as he could with his wings.

His mother parks in front of a large building that was labeled as the main office and gets out, as did he a second later. His wings strained against the ropes and Tyler looks at his mother. "Um, can the ropes come off? I think my wings are starting to cramp," he says.

"You can last for a bit longer Tyler. Go ahead and get your stuff out and stretch your legs. I won't be accompanying you to where you'll be living from now on," she says. He nods and gets his stuff.

As he was pulling his suitcase out, he heard talking from the office and turned to see two boys come out. One was wearing a navy blue shirt with black pants and a black jacket, along with sunglasses, and he had dark brown hair. The other also had brown hair, and had denim jeans on with a mixture of blues on his shirt, and had greyish-brown bones wrapped around his chest, arms, legs, and head, of which stopped at his hairline. He also had pure white eyes, and two small helmets with bat-like wings were flying around him.

The two of them see Tyler and walk over. Well, the one wearing the sunglasses walked. The one with the white eyes was hovering just above the ground. Tyler watched them as they walk over, smiles on their faces.

"Hey. Are you Tyler?," the hovering one asks. Tyler nods. "I'm Jason. This is Sundee. I'm a Wither Hybrid and he's half demon." Then Jason leans closer. "Don't ask him to to take his sunglasses off. He's what you would call a 'faulty' demon." Sundee punches his arm and Jason laughs.

"Um... okay?," Tyler says.

"Anyways, we are a few of your new housemates. They are all back at the house making sure your room is good for when you get here. Want some help with that?," Sundee asks.

"No I'm fi- Woah," Tyler says as it starts hovering, and when he looked back at them he sees the two flying helmets were gone. When he looks back at his suitcase, Ty saw edges of small brown wings appearing and disappearing.

"The usefulness of having two extra heads, right?," Jason jokes.

"Uh.. I guess," Tyler says. The car door slams shut behind him, and he turns to see his mother had just shut the door he had opened to get his stuff from and had climbed into the driver's seat. Without even a wave she drove off.

Tyler sighs as she leaves, and behind him Sundee and Jason were looking back and forth from Tyler to each other. Sundee breaks the silence with an awkward cough. "Um... we should probably all get home. You probably wanna have time to adjust to the house and the others before bed."

Tyler turns and looks at him confused. "Adjust to the others? Why?"

As soon as they walked into the house Tyler could hear screaming from upstairs. "Jerome! We aren't supposed to have paint open yet! The new kid is choosing what color!"

"I tripped! Now it's all in my fur." There was a small silence before it continued, and by then Tyler had started following it. Jason and Sundee were quick to follow.

"Dood! Stop stop stop stop! Now it's getting all over me!"

"Hey! Stop throwing paint at me!"

"Then don't shake your fur when I'm only a few meters away from you next time!"

Tyler stopped in front of a room which was empty except for some mats on the floor and a teen with a checkered jacket and a furry animal. There was green, blue, and purple paint everywhere, especially on the two in the room. He stood there for a few seconds before the teen notices him and looks embarrassed.

"Um... hi?" Tyler just stood there, his mouth opening and closing since he didn't know what to say, and the Jason and Sundee face-palmed behind hin.

"So let me get this straight," Sky says as he looks at his, now clean, friends. "Jerome tripped over some paint cans, which somehow got all over you, and when you shook out your fur, you got it on Mitch, which followed with You two hurling paint at each other?"

"Um, maybe?," Jerome shrugs. Sky sighs and turns to Tyler.

"I'm sorry about them. Anyways, you know Sundee and Jason already. Jerome is the bacca and Mitch is the one wearing the checkered jacket. Husky is washing off your room with his water blasting move, and I'm Sky. Your name?," Sky asks, holding out his gloved hand.

"It's Tyler," he says.

"No offense, but Tyler is a bit of a... boring name. You should have a nickname!," Jerome says.

"And why would he need a nickname?," Jason asks.

"It's like how we all call Jerome Fluffy!," Mitch shouts, ruffling up Jerome's fur and making then get into a wrestle fight.

"We could call you Scales," Sundee jokes.

"Or Fang. By the way, your fangs are cool," Jason says.

"What do you wanna be called? That is, if we call you anything other than your name at all," Sky says. Tyler stopped and thought for a moment.

"Maybe Ty," I suggest.

"Deal. Welcome to our family of friends Ty."

Ty was walking down the halls of the flight building with Sky and Sundee, who were giving him a tour of the campus, when he hears a few thuds and a laugh. He fastwalks to the hallway ahead and sees a young female ocelot hybrid looking up at a male dark fairy, who was a few years older than him. The dark fairy's wings were black and shredded, nothing like what you would imagine a regular fairy's wings to be like.

"Oh. Him," Sundee grumbles.

"Who is he?," Ty asks.

"That is Drake. He's what you would call the bully of the school. Careful when you're near him. He always picks on the new kids. Let's go before he notices you. Or any of us for that matter," Sky says. They all quickly continue on so that Drake won't catch them.

"Guys! We're home!," Sky shouts when they allow walk in. "I've gotta go and work on something for one of my classes. I'll be up in my room if any of you need me." Then Sky jogs upstairs, leaving Sundee and Ty alone.

"Hey. Is there anything you want for dinner specifically?," Sundee asks.

"No. I'll be fine with whatever you make," Ty says. Sundee nods and then walks down the hall to the kitchen. Ty sighs, making his way to the stairs to hang out in his room and unpack some more, but suddenly the rope, of which was still holding his wings to him, goes slack and his wings shoot out as the rope falls to the ground.

Ty is alarmed by this and jumps back, but suddenly he hears a crash and stops, slowly turning and seeing the vase that Sky's mother gave to him was in pieces on the ground.

"No no no. Oh my gosh no," he says quickly and then hears somebody coming down the stairs.

"Ty? Is everything oka-" Ty didn't wait to see who it was. He knew that Sky would be furious when he found the vase broken, so he grabbed his wings and held them close to him, running back to the front door and opening it. "Ty wai-"

He didn't hear the rest though, because then he was shutting the door and running.

"Stupid wings. Stupid mom. Stupid life!," Ty shoust furiously, pulling his own hair so some anger would be expelled. He quickly turns and yelps as his wing hit something sold really hard, making pain flash through it for a split second.

"Ouch. Oh, now you'd better pay for that," a voice says, and Ty turns to see that what his wing had hit was that dark fairy Drake. He stumbles back in shock, but Drake continues to push him back until Ty could feel the rough wall hitting his wings. "So. New kid huh? When'd you get here?"

"This morning. Around lunch," Ty mumbles.

"Been here for nearly six hour and I haven't noticed you? Well, that means that I might just go a bit rougher on you than other new kids." The breath gets knocked out of Ty as Drake punches his stomach and he falls to the ground, gasping for breath. Ty feels a hand grabbing his hair and tries to ignore the pain as he's pulled up from the ground by it. "You'd better hope that I don't leave you with a broken skull."

Ty just gulps as Drake smirks.

"What happened to my mother's vase?," Sky asks as he looks into the room. Husky looks at him, concerned on how fast Ty had ran when he found him.

"I don't know. I heard a crash and when I got here, and the vase was broken on the ground. Ty was standing behind it, and he just ran," Husky says, walking over to some rope. "Now that I think about it, though, he had this rope tied around him the entire time he was here. Do you think he's a brand new hybrid? He can't have any control over his wings if he is."

"It's a possibility. The rope looks like it's been cut. Probably cut on Mitch's duel award," Sky says, nodding his head to the silver sword mounted on the wall as he gathers up the shards. "Also guess we could've told him that I can just take this to Scarlet and have her fix it. Having a janitor that is also a sorcerer sure is useful." Sky puts the shards in a container and puts it up on a shelf.

"You think we should go after him? It's getting late, and you know that this is around the time that Drake comes out for any new kids who are lost and such," Husky asks.

"Find who?," Mitch asks, looking in from the living room.

"Ty. We think that the rope that was around his wings got cut on your sword, and he must have been a brand new hybrid because his wing hit Sky's vase or something and it broke. I got down here just in time to see him rush out the door. I wonder why he was so worried," Husky asks himself.

"Well, maybe it was like with some of the others that go here. His parents must have not liked how he's a hybrid, so they got mad if he knocked stuff over. Maybe he was panicked and thought we would be mad so he ran," Sky says.

"Does seem likely. So, are we gonna look for him?," Mitch asks.

"Yeah. Let's just make sure-" A sudden ring on the door interrupts what Sky was saying, and Mitch goes to answer the door.

"What's she doing here?," Mitch mumbles, and then opens the door. The ocelot hybrid from earlier, one of Jason's friends Sarah, she was panting and looked frantic, pulling her red-dyed bangs over her face like she does when she's nervous. "Are you looking for Jason?"

She shakes her head, and then wavers and falls. Jerome comes down the stairs just as she is, and looks at her alarmed. "Woah. What's wrong with her?"

Sarah groans and then sits up quickly, Seeing Sky, Mitch, Jerome, and Husky watching her. Sky is the first to say something. "You okay?"

"Yes and no. Celeste was leaving the flight hall when she saw Drake. He looked curious, and when she looked at where he was going, she saw your new roommate. He looked mad and upset, and didn't even know Drake was coming up behind him. She just called me to tell you guys. I ran here immediately and as fast as I could, but she called me about..." Sarah looks at the clock on the wall. "About ten minutes ago."

"We'd better hurry then. C'mon guys. You stay here Sarah. You hit your head pretty hard when you fell. We'll call You once everything is worked out," Sky says, pulling on his jacket. He, Mitch, Husky, and Jerome all go over to the door and run out, the door slamming shut behind them.

"Ty!," Sky calls, the other three echoing him. "Ty! Can you here me?!"

"Sky?," a voice says, and Celeste walks out, the feathers on her two owl-like wings ruffled up. "It is you guys. Come on. Ty's hurt." She waves her hand over toward the backside of the building and then runs off with the four guys following.

They go around the corner of the school and Celeste was there already, gently dabbing at Ty's covered eye while he holds one arm close to his chest. Sky and Mitch jog over, Husky and Jerome taking a bit longer.

"Hey Ty. What's hurting?," Mitch asks.

"My wrist, my shin and I think I'm gonna get a black eye," Ty says.

"Aren't they purple though?," Jerome asks.

Husky then elbows him in the stomach, hissing, "Not the time Jerome." Jerome nods, hugging his stomach to protect it from being hurt again.

"Let me see your wrist," Sky says, and Ty holds it out. It was red and swollen, looking pretty painful. "We'd better get you to the nurse. The wrist alone needs to be treated. C'mon." Celeste and Sky help him up, and Sky helps Ty stay balanced on one foot while Celeste picks up her bag.

"Thanks for helping out Celeste," Mitch says.

"No problem. I've gotta go though. Sarah still at your place?," she asks.

"Yeah. Kinda fainted out of exhaustion," Jerome says.

"Okay. Tell her I'll pick her up soon. Just gotta drop some books off at the library. Bye," Celeste says, spreading her wings and taking off.

"Well Tyler, looks like you've got a sprained wrist, black eye, and terribly bruised shin. Keep the wrist wrapped up, and try putting ice on your eye once a day, ice on your shin twice a day, and don't walk around too much. It's gonna be pretty painful for a while, but after a week you should be much better," the nurse says, her cat tail flicking back and forth as she wraps up Ty's wrist.

"Thanks nurse Elson," Ty says.

"You don't have to call me that. Everybody calls me Cathy. Now have a good night Tyler," she says, putting the wrap away. Ty limps out of the room, wincing with each step, and sees Sky leaning against the wall outside.

"Sprained wrist, bruised shin, and black eye," Ty says, and Sky nods.

"Need help walking?," Sky asks. Ty shakes his head no and they start walking back.

"Sorry about the vase," Ty says after a few moments of silence.

"Hey. You don't need to worry about it. One of the janitors here is a sorcerer. She can fix it like that," Sky says, snapping his fingers. "And you could've just told me in the first place. You didn't need to run."

"You seemed to love that vase so much though," Ty says.

"To be honest, I only keep it because it looks cool. My mom and I haven't been on good terms lately," Sky chuckles.

"Oh. Everything okay?," Ty asks.

"Yeah. Everything's fine. She's just started wondering if this was the best thing for me to be doing right now, and I said that its the best thing that's ever happened to me, and then she said things and I said things, and now we are both too stubborn to admit defeat. Which I will never because I'm right," Sky says, and they laugh a bit afterward.

Ty goes silent again, and Sky swings his arm around his shoulder in a friendly way. "Hey. Everything is fine. Nobody died and everything is cool. What are you so worried about?" Ty sighs.

"It's just, I'm not sure if I'll fit in here. Everybody seems so skilled and confident. I can't even keep these darn things from hitting something," Ty says, stumbling when one wing hits a branch. He pulls the branch away with one hand and frees his wing before walking a few feet to where Sky was waiting.

"You'll fit in just fine Ty. You just need some practice," Sky says as they walk up to their front door. He opens the door and sees paint covering the walls, Sundee, Mitch, and Jerome throwing it at each other in the living room while Jason and Husky try to stop them, taking the worst of the hits. "And anyways. Even if they don't except you, our crazy group will be here for you."

Sky then leans down and dunks a hand towel in a can of brown paint. "Paint war! Whoo!," he shouts, running in and immediately getting paint on him. Ty just watches, a faint smile on his face as he chuckles and shakes his head.

You guys have no clue how excited I was to start this.

I can't even remember how it came to me, but I got the idea to do this around five days ago as of writing this, and I've been planning it since. If you guys liked this episode, please leave a good review. I called it Pilot like they do in actual shows so that I know that if you guys like it I'll continue, and I'd you don't I'll take this down.

3,662 words. I have 0 words for that, other than it is 500 words more than my old record for highest word count. I seriously spent way too much time on this.

I should probably explain the main plot for this series (if it continues). So, as you read, Ty one day wakes up as a dragon hybrid (I know I didn't say that happened, but it did), and his parents send him to 'Notch's Academy for Talented Individuals' (I'm not sure whether to keep that as its name or not. Give me input please). He meets the guys there, and the whole series is gonna be about their experiences in this school.

If you guys are confused about any of the characters, soon there will be a section on my profile explaining what is known of them as of the latest episode. It'll be updated each time there is a new chapter, unless nothing new is learned about them.

And for the name of this series, it is a prototype name or whatever you would call it. If you have a title you think it should be called, make sure you tell me. I'm not too fond of it. Just couldn't think of anything else.

If there are future episodes, their titles will be a quote from the chapter. Also, if it continues, I'll change the title of this episode to a quote that one of you guys choose. So basically, if you review, please...

Say what you thought of it,

If I should continue or not,

A name for the school if you have one you wanna call it,

A name for the series if you have one you wanna call it,

And a new name for this episode, which has to be a quote from one of the characters.

Cool? Good. (You have no choice. You are under my control. Muahahahaha!) (Sorry. I'm tired. It's late at night while I'm writing this.) (Just saying, you don't have to review all of the stuff listed. The first ttwo I would love to see lots of though.)

Anyways, since this AN is getting pretty dang long, I'm gonna end it off here. Thank you guys for reading, follow, favorite, yada yada yada. Bye!
