(a/n)Thanks for the names 'LeederLee' and 'Guest'! Also a big thanks to 'Venomheart the dreamer' for pointing out my misused comas in the other chapter. I haven't been able to post the second chapter due to some family drama, the flu, and (yes, I know I'm an idiot) accidently deleting the chapter. Here it is now though!

Heartbreaker's pov

"Your still looking at that scroll?" I translated through my brother's jumbled mouthful of fruit.

I sighed. "It's rude to talk with your mouth full." I didn't have to look up to know my brother was rolling his eyes across from the outside table we were sitting at.

My brother swallowed before saying. "You've been looking at that scroll since you got it. You think you would have mesmerized the thing by now." He muttered that last part to himself.

"It never hurts to be prepared. I just want to make sure I have all the details." I was quick to defend myself.

My brother groaned falling backwards. "That's the point! Your treating this situation like it's some test you can't fail. This is suppose to be a fun way to get to know are fellow tribe mates. This isn't battle training. You're allowed to make mistakes with out there being consequences. Plus you already know all the 'details'."

I pursed my lips, ignoring the fact that my brother was right and continued to read the scroll for the hundredth time.

You have been chosen to participate in Queen Glory's program The Diverse Tribe Pals!

This program is a fun way for you to get to know some of your fellow Nightwings and Rainwings. In this program you will be paired up with a Nightwing or Rainwing depending on which tribe you are from. For the first day of the program you will meet up on the border line of the Nightwing and Rainwing village of the third day of having this parchment. Make sure to come AFTER sun-time. There a secrect host will tell you more of the 'diverse tribe pals' program. Hope to see you there!

Names of participants

Lilic and Twilight, Sunshine and Cometcatchter, Anaconda and Gravedigger, Macaw and Talonflaw, Banana and Soulkeeper, Stargazer and Mahogany, Perplexity and Jaguar, Pineapple and Nightmare, Rockmoon and Canopy,

I sucked in on my teeth, closing my eyes, not wanting to look at the next two names. Why did just one little name have such an impact on me? Was it because the thought of having to meet a random dragon and try to be friendly to that dragon for who knows how long made me groan.

I sighed. I never needed anyone besides my brother and my scrolls. And now? Now the Queen thinks I need to expand my horizons. Just because Moonwatcher ended up with a great group of friends doesnt mean I will. Another thing acurred to me. My brother's name was on the list. What if he ends up liking it? I don't want him to drop out because I didn't want to participate. I can't be the reason why he quits something he never got the chance to enjoy. He deserves to be happy. Flash backs of our life back at the Nightwing kingdom came to mind. I shivered not wanting ro relive those horrible moments. I'm doing this for you Digger. It's my turn to do something for you.

Opening my eyes I looked into the caring, identical grey, silver outlined eyes of my twin. "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine. How about you Mr. I-fall-backwards-for-dramatic-effect?" I teased.

Being the dork he was, my brother lay his right claw on his chest, holding his head up high he says. "I am doing absolutely perfect."

"Digger?" I asked uncertainly. There's no taking this back once you say it. It's for his sake though. It won't be too bad, my pal isn't a dragon viper.

My brother's face went all serious. "Yes Heartbreaker?"

I took a deep breath. I can't take this back. "Your right."

My brother was baffled. "I am?"

"And so is the Queen. I should expand my horizons. It's silly for me to be scared of meeting someone new. Even if I do make a mistake, it's ok." I tried a weak smile that quickly turned into a frown at my brothers silence. I know I didn't say anything wrong. At least I don't think I did.

We sat there in slience. With each second that passed by I felt on the verge of losing my sanity. Say something. Any reaction would be better than this. Anything!

A smile split on his face. "So little Breaker is coming out of her shell."

I beamed at him. "If you can do it, so can I."

"You can't start epic fruit fueds like I do." My brother smiled impishly at his hidden meaning I was clueless to.

I snorted at my brother's weirdness. "Um, I don't see why I would want to start an epic...fruit fued." The mango hit me right in the shoulder before I could get the last two words out. I narrowed my eyes at my brother. "You may be able to start an epic fruit fued but I'm going to end it." I throw a banana at Digger. That he dodged by dropping to the ground.

"You never did have a good aim." He popped up, smirking at me.

"Well looks like you'll just have to be target practice." I grabbed another fruit, tossing it up in the air. Then dropping it unsmoothly. While also banging my head on the table trying to grab it before it fell on the ground.

My brother snickered. "Looks like the table took up that job."

"Your epic fruit fued was a doozy." I held a claw to my right temple.

"Aw, don't let the table get the best of you Breaker." He smirked at the table.

"Can't you just let my little incident go." I asked more than a little annoyed.

"Nope. I'll never let any thing you do go. Thanks Breaker." Gravedigger smiled, taking my other claw giving a gentle squeeze that expressed his unspoken words.

"Anything for you Gravedigger." Anything.

Charming's pov

It was nice spending time with Frog and An. They made you forget your worries. Being with them felt like how it was before I knew about Nightwings. Was it bad I took comfort with strangers? Through this entire day I felt like I go to really know them though. Frog was sassy, mischievous, and had a love to embarrass her friends. Underneath her devious side though was a sweet dragoness who would do anything for her best friend, An, who was like a younger brother to her and wanted to help stop dragon suffering. An was easy to get along with. He cared for Frog just as much as she cared for him, but didn't like it when she took control of his choices. He liked to make his own choices and made dragons laugh even when he wasn't trying to. Only in a matter of hours these two had some how managed to grow on me.

"Is it possible to go in a coma from eating too much." An groaned sprawled out in my hammock.

"Nah, I think your good." Frog dismissed him with a flick of her tail from the branch above him.

"I think your just feeling bad because you ate too fast." I suggested from the platform beside him.

"Hey, Charm do you know anyone in the program." Frog asked

I blushed remembering my little outburst. "Oh, well...I kinda of ran off before Mangrove and Aunt Orchid could tell me more."

"Oh, that's fine. I guess I'll just have to meet everyone." She said this nonchantanltly.

"What do you mean meet everyone?" An raised his head up.

"You know go your fist day with you." She said this as if it wasn't going to start an 'Ultra Frog and An Agruement'.

An looked at her, his eyes the size of a giant lemur. "You. Are. Not. Comimg."

"Not like you can stop me." She snorted.

"I'm twice your size!" He shot back at her.

"So?"

"Urg! It's bad enough you and Charming teamed up to keep an eye on Gravedigger. You guys gonna stalk other dragons too?" He flared at us both. This had no affect on Frog.

I looked down quilty. "Sorry An."

He sighed, looking deflated in the hammock. "You should be."

Frog slid off the branch, only hanging on by her tail. Hanging upside down, she scowled him. "No need to be mean to Charm. He isn't the reason why your brain is as slow as a sloth's movements. I'm just wanting to make sure you don't get hurt in this program. Just because you're Mr. Nice Dragon doesn't mean he will be. These Nightwings aren't exactly know for their kindness."

"You need to stop treating me like a I'm a newly hatched dragonet. Im cable of handling myself." He puffed, "It was rude of me to say that Charm. I'm sorry."

"It's fine. I get that way with my Aunt sometimes." You were too rough on her. There is probably a good reason why she allowed your name to be on the list. I forced those thoughts to the back of my head.

"Well we should head back. Me and An have to settle some things. It might get ugly" Frog stretched out, hopped down off the branch, then flew off.

"See you later. Hopefully I won't have Frog with me tomorrow" An flew after Frog.

It was silent. Disturbingly silent. It was the type of silence that left you all alone with your thoughts. All my thoughts were centered around Aunt Orchid. What was she doing? Was she upset I left? Is she mad I stormed off? Is she looking for me? Was a lecture waiting for me back at home?

Only one way to find out. Closing my eyes, I walked over to the edge and dived off. Letting the wind whip against my scales and my heart rate get faster with each second I got closer to the ground, I opend my wings ten feet above the ground. Here I come Aunt Orchid.

*

"Aunt Orchid? Mangrove?" I let myself in. I stopped a few steps inside the hut.

"Charming!" A yellow dragoness, with a green underside, black ruffs, and brown eyes exitedly ran up to me from the table she was sitting at.

I looked at her. Then back to the quilty duo at that table. "What's Banana doing here?"

The duo looked at eachother alarmed. Banana on the other hand looked like she just won the best sun-time spot.

"Icameheretoseeyou. SadlyWander wasn'tabletobehere. HewaswithLilacwhenIheard. Isn'tthisexiting!We'rebothonthelist!!!!" She jumped up and down excitedly.

"Um...Banana. Can you just give me one tiny little minute to figure all that out?" I asked looking at my oldest friend.

"Oops. Sorry, I just talk really fast when I'm excited!!!!!" She smiled but kept still.

"Ok so you came here for me." Don't you dare turn pink Charming. "Wander is with Lilac right now. And you find both our names being on the list exiting. Ok I think I got it all."

Not able to contain herself she burst into words. "This is exciting! We get to do the program together." Her brown eyes twinkled, she smiled the happiest of smiles, and her scales were three coats of shinner than usual. Me. Charming the Rainwing was about to ruin his best friend.

I looked down, rubbing my neck guilty. "I'm not doing the program."

"Why not."

I looked up. Then flinched. Her scales were now a dull yellow. Her brown eyes no longer twinkled. Her smile was falling apart.

"I just don't want to." I throw out on the table lamely.

"but... I'll be all alone." She looked at me with the saddest eyes.

"No you won't. Im sure you'll be able to bring Wander. Hey! Maybe even Lilac might be in it."

"Yeah, but It won't be the same without you." She pouted.

I looked at Aunt Orchid and Mangrove. They were looking right back at me. I sighed knowing if I didn't do something quick, me and Banana were going to be at this all night. I had to get her out before she found some way to tie me up in this mess.

"Banana I just don't feel like doing it. If it makes anything better I'll still be there. I just won't participate." That should satisfy her for now.

She looked at me then nodded. "If you dont want to do it. I can't make you. I really wish you would though. I guess you being there will just have to be enough."

"Thanks" I smiled, going up to hug her. I walked her out the door. Then faced the quilty duo.

"Anything you want to tell me?"

"Why aren't you doing the program? Banana is." Aunt Orchid asked.

I shuffled around. "I just don't feel like being paired up with a Nightwing. You know I don't like them."

"Please just give it a try. If not for me do it for Banana." She begged me.

Was she blackmailing!? She's using my best friend as blackmail! I kept my scales from turning red and calmy told her. "You can't use Banana against me. As much as I love Banana, I'm not doing the program. That's my final answer."

"So much for that plan." Muttered Mangrove. I shot him a glare while he acted innocent.

"I'm going to spend the night in my hammock. See you around Aunt Orchid." I turned towards the door.

"Wait." Aunt Orchid ran over to me and lay a claw on my shoulder. "Please just think about it."

"I already have." I tapped my talons on the floor impatiently.

"Look at me." Her voice was so pained I had no choice but to. "You can't hate them forever. They were only doing what they thought they had to do to survive."

"They didn't have to make you suffer. Or Mangrove. Or me." I pulled away and flew back to my hammock tears in my eyes.

(a/n) Feel free to voice your opinion (good or bad) about this chapter. Would love to hear your thoughts on the story! I feel like my story is poorly written and for any one who is reading my story. I will try my best to make it better for you. Originaly I was just going to do Heatbreaker's Pov, but then I thought of how long it took me to post chapter two. Plus I wanted everyone to meet in chapter three. There's a secret dragon who is going to be hosting the 'Diverse Dragon Pals'. Care to guess?

I really want to post weekly but I don't see that happening. There's always something poping up with my friends or family. (I don't really see school being a problem. I got all that under control.) The most I can do is probably a chapter every two weeks. I might by some miracle be able to do weekly chapters, but then again I can't promise anything.
