Before you start, I wish to ask for some inspiration on my next True to Your Heart fanfic (MLP: FIM). I want to make this one a Big Macintosh/Pinkie Pie romance with Discord kidnapping Celestia again so as to woo her. If you could please send me some ideas, that would be a great help. Thank you, and enjoy.
Skales' Gratitude
Summary: Takes place during Chapter 10 of Fangpyre Husband, Hypnobrai Wife. This is a talk between Lloyd and Skales as they watched Fangtom and Alura dance. I only own Alura in this one-shot.
It has been a couple of hours since Fangtom and Alura were named husband and wife. Lloyd, disguised as a Venomari, watched from the side of the dance floor as the newlyweds danced a slow dance. He couldn't help but feel happy for her. She's the nicest Hypnobrai he knew since the day he freed her tribe from their Tomb all those months ago. She would listen to any of his troubles and would find a way to cheer him up. The poor boy also knew that Skales wasn't very fond of him, but Alura simply explained that he was only being protective of her and that he thinks that the Hypnobrai Tribe is no place for a young boy. Lloyd even wonders if she missed him after Skales kicked him out after winning the title of General from Slithraa.
"Quite the sight, isn't it?" Lloyd turned to see Skales slithering up to him before turning to his sister and new brother-in-law dancing together. Lloyd then tried to act natural so as not to give himself away.
"It certainly is, sir," he answered calmly as he turned to the two dancers. Skales then smiled at him.
"I'm glad you came, Lloyd," he said. "It means a whole lot to Alura." Lloyd turned to him with shock.
"How did you—" Skales stopped him by holding up his hand.
"Classified," he answered. "And don't worry; I won't expose you…not while my sister is having the best day of her life." Lloyd then sighed with relief before turning to the dancing newlyweds.
"Your sister's a lucky girl," he said, and the Hypnobrai nodded with concurrence.
"I wish to thank you for all you've done for us," he said. The disguised boy blinked at him with confusion.
"Whadya mean?" Skales then turned to him with a smile.
"For freeing my Tribe and Fangtom's…and for bringing the three of us back together. If it weren't for you, we never would have ended the fight between our two Tribes. And Alura would not have married the one she loves. So thank you…Young Garmadon." Lloyd just smiled in reply.
"I'm just happy for you guys," he replied. Skales just chuckled before handing Lloyd a glass of punch.
"To their happiness together?" he asked, holding up his own glass of punch.
"To their happiness together," the boy answered before they clinked their glasses together.
