A Not-So-Different Beginning
Chapter 4
A/N Ok chapter 4 this is getting kinda fun, well I'm also sorry to anyone who is reading my other story, I just find this one so much more fun right now, so the other story may be released slower. And as always I love the reviews you send me… except if you're flaming.
Chapter 4
"What I didn't…" Sparx flew in between them and said "Ya dude, remember you asked me to go tell Cynder you wanted to hang out and meet at the park"? Spyro glared at him and whispered "You sly piece of…" Sparx flew out of the way and Spyro continued "… uhhh, so what do you wanna do"?
Cynder gave him a questioning look and said "Ummm you invited me shouldn't you have a plan"? Spyro looked at Sparx only to find he was almost outside the park and Spyro made note to kill him later and said "Well why don't we get to know each other a bit more"? Cynder nodded and said "Cool I there's one tree I like to hide in around here, come on".
Spyro followed her to the other side of the park and she jumped a in a fir sized tree that could easily hold both of them, Spyro jumped up and sat on a branch next to the one she was sitting on. He looked around and could see in almost every direction, it was the perfect place to spy on people.
Cynder noticed him looking around and said "You like it? I chose this one when I got here a few days ago". Spyro looked at her and said "Ya it's cool, so what do you wanna start with"? She smiled and said "Well how about we start with… What was it like being a dragonfly"? She lay down on the branch and waited for his answer.
Spyro said "Well let's just say it wasn't the greatest experience for me, I was teased sometimes for being so big and only until now did I realize why none of the girls found me attractive" he chuckled "What was it like living outside Warfang"?
Cynder sighed sadly and said "It was horrible, we constantly hid in caves to avoid Malefors forces and we almost never had time to just play or relax… and people I knew died". Spyro suddenly realized how bad things had been for her and said "I'm sorry" which she replied "It's not your fault"
Spyro looked around and said "Let's move away from that, how have you been since the war ended"? Cynder noticed he was trying to change the subject and appreciated it and said "IT's been great except for the construction that has been keeping me awake all night". She smiled.
Spyro smiled seeing her happy again and said "How are your parents adjusting"? She suddenly looked sad again and Spyro knew exactly who she lost during the war "Who'd you lose"? he asked silently. She had a tear going down her eye and she said "My M-mom… they got her late in the w-war".
Spyro hopped over to the branch she was on and said "I'm so sorry; you don't have to say anything else". Then he draped a wing over her.
After a few minutes she said "I'm sorry I didn't want to have this happen on our first real time hanging out". Spyro shook his head and said "It's alright, now I know not to mention that" she smiled and said "So what now"?
Spyro looked up and saw the sun was at its highest and he said "Come on I'm hungry, and I've been meaning to do something anyway". She wondered what it was and jumped out of the tree with him; he led her to the temple and went to his room.
Inside Cynder looked around and saw there wasn't much to the room, there was only the original stuff that were in the room and she said "This room seems a bit… boring". Spyro smiled and turned around and said "Well you don't get many chances to get collectables when you're constantly in danger".
"Are you serious, not once in your travels did you ever just pick something up and said 'I think I'll keep this"? Spyro shook his head and said "Nope" then he turned around and went to the freezer and grabbed one of the fish he bought and said "Follow me" Cynder saw the fish but it was wrapped up and didn't know what it was and asked "What's that"?
Spyro stopped and said "A huge fish I bought yesterday, I was gonna cook it because I'm hungry you want some"? Cynder raised an eyebrow and asked while she followed "So you had no time to collect stuff but know how to cook"?
Spyro chuckled and said "Hunter taught me a few things on our travel to Warfang" she rolled her eyes and kept following him. Eventually they made it to a public kitchen which was fairly empty and Spyro got cooking.
While Spyro heated the fish Cynder said "So what was it like having to take on the world basically"? Spyro smiled and said "Hard. Sometimes overwhelming" he frowned and Cynder could see that he wasn't even explaining the half of it.
Cynder said "That bad huh?" Spyro nodded and said "Worse then you realize" He kept cooking the fish and occasionally asked Cynder to do something for him and soon Spyro said "Come on let's sit down a bit, it will be done in about ten minutes"
Spyro and Cynder sat down and Cynder said "Maybe we can play game while we wait"? Spyro nodded and let her continue "Ok how about we ask each other questions but you have to answer… truthfully". Spyro didn't see anything wrong with and let her go first.
She thought for a second and said "I can't think of anything good so how about… what's your favorite colour?" Spyro thought it over "Well I don't mean to be in to myself but I'll have to say purple" then he thought of a question "What's your favorite thing to do"? Cynder didn't expect the question and said "Umm, I like to go on quiet walks and also being outdoors in general"
Spyro nodded and kept that in the back of his head for later, then Cynder asked "Why'd you befriend me?" she had wanted to know for awhile and decided to ask now since he had to answer. Spyro really didn't want to answer so he quickly made another reason while he spoke "Well you seemed like a nice person when I met you" She wasn't convinced and said "There has to be another reason?" Spyro thought up another excuse and said "Well you are a shadow dragon and they are rare and I thought you'd be cool to meet" he lied again.
Cynder could see through it and said "No I think I know the reason" Spyro asked "And what that would be?" She gave him a playful smile and said "Now that's my secret" then she smelt the air and pointed towards the stove.
Spyro hopped out of his seat and quickly pulled the fish out and said "Turned out better than I thought" Cynder came beside him and smelt the fish and said "Smells great let's eat"
Spyro cut it up into a few smaller pieces and brought it back to their table, he put it down and let Cynder eat first. She stuck her claw in it and hesitantly pulled it to her snout and took a bite. She chewed a few times and gulped it down and said "MMMM, taste good"
Spyro let out a breath he had been holding and said "Really I thought it would've turned out bad somehow" he grabbed a piece and had a bite for himself smiled at his own cooking. They continued to eat until there was only one piece left.
They didn't seem to realize it and both grabbed it, when they paws touched they both looked down and recoiled their paws and Spyro said "Sorry, you can have it" Cynder looked at the piece "No it's your fish you should finish it" He Spyro smiled and said "How about this…?"
He cut it in half and ate one of the halves. Cynder chuckled and grabbed the other piece. It was then Sparx buzzed beside Spyro and said "Hey you two, I didn't expect to see you here" he actually said honestly.
Spyro saw Sparx and nearly grabbed him and said "Sparx where'd you go anyway?" Sparx crossed his arms and said "I left you two alone… for some alone time". He winked to him without showing Cynder. Cynder blushed at the comment and Sparx and Spyro were too distracted with each other to notice.
Spyro tried to conceal his anger and said "Ya and now you're done with your check up" Sparx rolled his eyes "You seriously don't want me around, do ya?" he whispered. Spyro blew at him and he flew away but when Spyro looked over to Cynder she was gone.
There was a note that said "See ya some other time, thanks for the fish" He smirked and walked home. On his way Sparx came up behind him breathing hard "Hey... Wait up" Spyro stopped and Sparx stopped in front of him and caught his breath.
"Where did Cynder go?" Sparx asked. Spyro replied "You scared her away when we weren't looking" Sparx feigned being offended and said "I did no such thing, she probably took my advice to heart when I told her you eat people because you're so fat" Spyro growled and said "Now to talk about how she met us there".
Spyro continued "How did you get her to meet us there?" Sparx sighed and said "Dude you know when I left yesterday, that's when I did it. But I did it because you would've never talked to her without a push" Spyro slouched and said "Well even though that was annoying… thanks for the push I needed it"
Spyro and Sparx walked around for the rest of the day until it was late and they went to bed.
Yay this chaps done, on Halloween too. Anyway this story is kinda fun for me because I've been trying to do a developing relationship in my other story but I always rush it by accident, and lastly leave those reviews if you have any suggestions or just wanna say something. Other then that I'll have the new chap up soon
