Me: I just realized, I hadn't done this yet... Oops... Ok, here goes:

Disclaimer: I do not-nor will I ever- own Maximum Ride or Dragon riders of pern.

And I also have a new buddy, here she is... Still doesn't have a name though... That's up to people like you! Say hi

Dragon: Hello... Shouldn't you start the chapter now? The sooner I get a name the better.

Me: Well fine... I just thought they'd like to meet you, that's all...

Dragon: Just start the chapter already! I want a name!

Me: Fine...

Chapter 3

Just a lizard... With wings...

Dragon POV

She had been flying for what seemed like days. She was exhausted. Her wing muscles were not at full strength yet. But she pressed on, she had to get there today she had waited her entire life for this day. To pass the time she watched the scenery change below her. She watched as the land below her changed from lush green wildlife to brown desert Earth.

She stretched her mind out to its limit, trying to feel his consciousness. Waiting was driving her insane!! Wait, She felt something.. Was it Him?... Yes! Ok... Now to make contact..

Iggy POV

"Hey, are you there?" Someone asked him. He went into the hallway of Dr. M's house.

"Did someone call me?"He yelled out .

"No..." Was the reply he got from a confused Ella."Angel, Max, Nudge, and my mom went to the mall, and Fang took Gazzy somewhere. Why? Did you think someone called you or something?"

"Go outside." The voice said. Great, he thought, I'm getting a voice likeMax."Who's Max?" It asked. Well, He thought to it, Max is- "Never mind- Just go outside!" It insisted. Fine, Don't pop a blood vessel, he thought to it.

"Iggy..." Ella asked, sounding concerned."Are you ok?"

"Yeah..."He replied, not feeling ok, he was suddenly exhausted for no reason."Just need to go outside..."

"Iggy... Fine. If you are convinced..." She said, letting him lean on her for support."Let me help you." As they walked out he felt a wave of emotions rush over him- the sheer, raw unbridled force of the emotions made him stagger away from Ella."IGGY!!" She yelled, but he barely heard it. He only heard the voice screaming its glee, "I've finally found you!!" He suddenly had several images flash through his mind, and it finally finished from a continuous aerial view of a tall strawberry blonde guy who was clutching his head and muttering a steady stream of curses.

Dragon POV

She trumpeted with glee, She found him! She felt him trying to communicate with her and got closer for a better connection."Who-no, what are you?!?"

"Specifically, I am your partner-of-heart. In general, I am a dragon, or at least a fire-lizard in size" She swooped down to meet him. She trumpeted once again to firmly state her glee, she didn't care if anyone knew if she existed. She had her partner-of-heart, she would do anything to keep both of them safe. She flew a quick circle around him taking in what he looked like. She perched on his shoulder, but looked at the limited space and changed to his head instead. She looked into his unseeing eyes and asked, "What is my name? What is your name?" She looked at Ella."What's her name?"

Iggy POV

"Good question." He said out loud. He turned to Ella, "what should its name be?"

"What is it? Iggy, is that thing safe to be around?" Was her first response.

"Its just a lizard...With wings... That needs a name. Ella, it's perfectly harmless..." You are harmless, right? He thought to it. "Yes, I'm as tame as a dragon can be, Iggy... So long as there are no white-coats around..." "Ella, it's a dragon." He turned to Ella and stated

"Oh... Well." She said, "There is someone in my Class that said if they ever had a dragon they'd name him Tornac- The Destroyer."

"That won't work." The dragon informed him."Wait a minute Ella." What do you mean it won't work, I sorta like it. "Think about it."

"Ella, it said the name wouldn't work. Did they say any other names?"

"He did say if it didn't like that he'd name it Cenderth."

How do you like that one, he asked it. "It works... Did you find out what you did wrong?" No he admitted."Well," Cenderth said, "It could be that you thought I was a male when I'm female. That would do it. He replied to it.

Me: Did you like it?

Cenderth: Eh, I have a name I met my partner-of-heart, It hasn't been a bad day.

Me: I'm glad you enjoyed yourself

R&R?? No flames please

Cenderth: Yeah, that's MY job. C3
