Chapter 1

"Wake up!" yelled Cynder as she tried to shake Spyro awake.

"What do you want?" Spyro mumbled, still half sleep.

"The guardians said wake up, and I suggest you do it." Cynder said shaking him once again.

"Fine, if it will get you off my back then I'm up. Just give me a moment."

"Good. I'll be waiting with the guardians." Cynder said, walking out the room and closing the door with her tail.

He really didn't feel like getting up. Ever since he defeated Malefor and brought the world back together, he didn't have the energy like he used to. The first couple of days, the guardians let him stay in the bed without pressuring him to get up. But now since he had been in the bed for so long, he couldn't have been weak anymore and it was just laziness that kept him from getting up. He knew he had to get up, or the guardians would get him up.

He climbed out of the bed and fell on the floor. After not walking for so long, he almost couldn't walk. He walked around the room a bit. After awhile of doing this, he decided to go on to find Cynder and the guardians. He went to the dining area. The door to the dining area was closed, but he could hear people talking inside. He knew the guardians would be angry if he so easily got up after claiming to be so weak. He knew he had to fake and act like he was still hurt. He opened the door and walked in. He limped when he walked to make it look like he was hurt.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow." he said with every step he took.

"You can cut the act Spyro." Cyril said, shaking his head at Spyro.

"What are you talking about?" Spyro said, pretending to be clueless.

"I'm glad your up." Cynder happily, pulling Spyro to a seat next to her.

To Cynder, her and Spyro were like boyfriend and girlfriend; but to Spyro he just didn't feel that close to her, at least at the moment.

"Anyway, me and the guardians have a announcement to make." Terrador stated, as he stood up from his sitting position. "You, Cynder and Sparx shouldn't stay locked up in here. Me and the other two guardians will be out in the city helping to rebuild it. In that time you, Cynder, and Sparx are welcome to go meet others of your own age."

"Speaking of Sparx where is he?" Spyro asked.

"He said he had something to do. He left this morning. I'm sure he'll be back, no need to worry." Cyril replied.

"Trust me, I'm not worrying." Spyro said in a grouchy tone.

"And maybe leaving the temple will take care of that attitude of yours!" Cyril shouted.

Spyro only rolled his eyes.

After breakfast, all of the dragons left to go to the city. The guardians went to help out with rebuilding the city, leaving Cynder and Spyro to do whatever they wanted.

"So…Spyro, what do you want to do?" Cynder asked him, she was hoping he wanted to do something that didn't involve helping someone for a change.

"I don't know maybe we can go help people around the city?" Spyro replied.

Cynder didn't respond, she was too busy cursing in her mind.

"Can we do something else? We saved the world Spyro. Is it possible to take a break from being heroic for a change?"

"What did you have in mind?"

A naughty smile sprung across Cynder's face.

"Follow me."

Cynder lead Spyro to a heavily wooded area. It was a small trail that they walked on. It could barely be seen since the weeds had covered most of it.

"Are we there yet?" he said, a bit anxious to know where the heck she was talking him.

"Almost."

They finally stopped in a courtyard type area. The area was not over grown like the forest was. It had a sidewalk , lined with flowers and in the middle of the courtyard, was a giant rock. It was flat, and almost appeared to be polished.

"Wow, this place is beautiful." Spyro said, sitting down on the edge of the rock.

"I found this place, well…when I, um…." Cynder trailed off.

Spyro knew what she was about to say so he just dropped it. He hated reminding her of her past, since she would cry most of the time.

"So, why'd you take me here?" Spyro asked.

"I kinda wanted to talk to you in private."

"You could have talked to me in private in the city, we didn't have to come all the way here. Cynder, what's the real reason we're here?" Spyro said in a stern voice.

Cynder was going to think of another lie, but she just hated lying to Spyro.

"Do you love me?" she asked, staring deep into his eyes.

Spyro tried to beat around the bush by pretending he didn't hear her. She only repeated it, and this time louder.

"Well, I don't know. Don't you think we're too young to love? I mean we are just kinda….you know, like kids."

"Spyro, we saved the world. Don't you think we're not really kids anymore. It's a yes or no question. Do you or do you not love me." she said.

The more he thought about it, he and Cynder really did go through a lot together. The defeated the dark master, and saved the world which really is a big task. Maybe he did love her, but he just didn't really know yet.

"I love you."

" I love you too Spyro."

Cynder leaned closer to him to try and kiss him but he turned his head.

"I'm not ready for that yet."

Cynder only giggled.

She had planned to mate with Spyro, but just knowing that he loved her was enough to satisfy her, for the moment.

They went back to the city. They just walked around for a while, before finally stopping at what was left of a water fountain in the center of the city.

"So, what do you want to do now?" Cynder asked.

"I don't know, but I am hungry." he replied.

"Ok, let's find something to eat then."

"Hey look, I see a concession stand over there." Cynder said.

It was a large crowd of dragons in the area.

"Follow me." Cynder said before dashing off.

Spyro tried to follow her but it was too many dragons in the way, and he lost sight of her. He wasn't watching where he was going and he bumped into a dragoness.

"I'm sorry." Spyro said as he helped the dragoness to her feet.

"It's ok. Hi, I'm Kyra."

Kyra was a beautiful shade of yellow, which glistened in the morning sun.

"I'm Spyro."

"You're the legendary purple dragon. It's a honor." she said as she bowed down to Spyro.

Just then Cynder came thru the crowd.

"Where were you Spyro?" she shouted in anger. She noticed the dragoness standing next to Spyro. "Who's this?"

"This is Kyra." he replied.

Kyra extended her paw to Cynder, expecting her to shake paws.

Cynder only stared at Kyra's paw as if her paw was dirty.

"Humph!" Cynder walked of.

"Don't mind Cynder."

"Oh, I won't." Kyra replied.

Ok, This is my first story so please go easy on me when it comes to reviews.

Thanks!
