Sorry to every happy reader of this story. I've been putting the update off for a time now just because I had things to do. So, if anyone was getting impatient, sorry. :P Anyways, here's my chapter. Enjoy!

Dragon, horribly sleepy from the previous events, stayed in bed for a while. But he figured he'd have to get up sooner or later so he got up as soon as possible that morning.

He walked outside and stretched when he noticed his mailbox light was blinking. He stared at it for a minute before opening it to find a letter from Felicity.

Dragon!

Come to my house AS SOON as you get this! I got news! And if you can, try to come before 12:00 this afternoon. You'll see why!

Dragon closed the letter and threw it away. He then made off for Felicity's house wondering why animals didn't put their catchphrases in their letters.

***

"It's your birthday?"

Felicity nodded vigorously.

"YUP! March 30th is today! My birthday! I'm turnin' 14!" She exclaimed.

Dragon thought to himself, So I did guess the age right eh? I still got it.

He said happy birthday when she gave him a pouty look.

Dragon raised an eyebrow.

"What? I said happy birthday." Dragon said, like that was enough.

Felicity shook her head fast. "Well… I have a question, mimimi!"

Dragon crossed his arms. "Question? What kind?"

Felicity looked like she had been woken up from a nap and then she blushed. "Well… uh… it's kinda embarrassing. Um…"

Dragon sighed and placed a hand on her shoulder. He stared her straight in the eyes as he said, "Just tell me. It's fine."

Felicity looked away, avoiding his hard eyes. She then muttered, "Well… y'see… today is Saturday and every Saturday… K.K. Slider comes to town to-

"That wondering magician?" Dragon interrupted.

Felicity glared at him. "Not magician Dragon! MUSICIAN. He's a famous guitar player. All the animals like him."

Dragon did a face-palm. "Oh."

Felicity stared at him. "Anyways, he comes every Saturday and I asked all the animals if they wanted to accompany me to the show tonight but…"

Dragon realized instantly.

"Nobody wanted to come so you want me to right?" Dragon stated.

Felicity widened her eyes. "Oh! Uh… yeah. So…?"

Dragon stared into the distance as he thought about it. He looked back at Felicity. "Sure, BUT I'm only listening to one song. Okay?"

Felicity jumped for joy. "YAY! I didn't wanna go by myself, mimimi!"

Dragon said bye and walked away. He wouldn't normally do this, but NOONE should be alone on their birthday. Dragon wasn't THAT heartless. He walked by Portia. She tapped his shoulder. "Dragon! Question for you."

Dragon stared at her. "What?"

"Well, can you come to the lake tonight. I won't be there because I have to sleep but just come to it tonight and look at what you see. I think you'll like it."

Dragon shook his head. "I'm sorry but I'm taking Felicity to see K.K. Slider on her Birthday."

Portia smiled. "No worries. Just check it out after that! It'll be late and you have to do it when it's late anyway."

Dragon raised an eyebrow but didn't question it. "Fine. I can do that."

Portia smiled again, "Thank you! You'll enjoy it, ruffian!"

She skipped off as Dragon walked on home. He figured that the rest of the day should be spent inside until Felicity came.

***

Felicity was nearly late. She came knocking on Dragon's door at 7:59 p.m.

Dragon answered the door. Felicity was wearing a pretty, blue hairpin which tied her hair up into a ponytail. She was wearing a blue dress that sparkled in a few spots. She smiled at him.

"C'MON! It's time to go to The Roost!" She yelled.

Dragon still couldn't stand her hyperness. "Fine but…"

Felicity cocked her head to the side, "What?"

"Does it cost to see K.K.?"
Felicity laughed at this. "Dragon, you poor ol' guy! Joking, joking." She sputtered out through her laughter.

Dragon stared at her. "Well?"

"NOPE! Doesn't cost anything, mimimi!"

Dragon let out a relieved sigh in his head. It's true. He was kind of poor. He at least had enough money to get by in any case.

Felicity grabbed him by the hand and sped off toward the museum. Come to think of it, Dragon had never visited the museum here in Portrait ever before. This was his first time.

"Slow down! You're giving me a headache!" he yelled at the speedy cat.

She laughed loudly. "NEVER!"

She ran through the museum, to the left, and down a flight of stairs.

"Here we are, Dragon. The roost." She stated. Dragon looked around briefly. The place was small for starters. It was mostly a wood room with a table set in the back and a bunch of chairs. To the right was a bar table with a pigeon behind it. The pigeon was cleaning a coffee cup.

Dragon looked forward to see a performance stage. On it was a piano and a stool, on which sat K.K. Slider himself.

Felicity squealed, a bit too loudly, and ran up to the stage.

She stopped to a fast halt in front of K.K. Slider, which Dragon had dubbed… Slider. It was faster.

Slider was a dog, white furred with enormous black eyes, a small tail, and he was holding a guitar. His ears were pointy and they slouched down onto his head.

Felicity squealed again. "Mr. K.K. Slider… er… sir-

Slider stared at her and held up a paw. "Whoa, slow down sister! Just name a tune and I'll dish it out."

Felicity's expression went down and she looked at Dragon expectantly. "Well Dragon? I… er… don't know any."

Slider smiled. "Hey, no problem girl! What about you bro?" He gestured to Dragon.

They both had their eyes on him. Dragon did what he always did when he met someone new.

He's in his twenties…

Dragon snapped back to reality. "Well… uh…"

Honestly, Dragon didn't know any tunes from Slider. Or maybe…

"Why don't you do, Always mine?"

Slider stared at Dragon for a minute and then widened his eyes. "Okay! I haven't played that one in a long time so don't mind if it's a little rusty, K?"

Ignoring the irony at the end of Slider's comment, Dragon said, "No problem."

Slider started tuning his guitar. "Well don't just stand there my peeps! Take a seat!"

Dragon and Felicity took their seats at the large table. K.K. Slider cleared his throat.

"What's the occasion if ya don't mind me asking?"

Felicity waved her arm in the air. "It's my B-day!"

Slider nodded up and down. "Cool. Alright then."

He cleared his throat again and he started the song.

"I was walkin' down Portrait's street…"

"Until baby, the time comes that we meet…"

He started playing his guitar faster.

"Your beauty was enough to make me die…"

"Always mine."

He kept playing his guitar in a beat that Dragon had to admit was catchy. The song went on for about 4 more minutes with him singing until eventually, he ended the song.

"Well, that's all I got! Here's a tune for you birthday-girl." He tossed a CD case to Felicity which she caught and smiled at. It was a special K.K. Slider CD for that specific song.

"Thank you Mr. K.K.!"

***

Dragon and Felicity left the museum, CD in hand.

Felicity turned to Dragon, "Thanks Dragon! My birthday wasn't such a drag, mimimi."

Dragon nodded. "Well, I have to go home. Gotta get some sleep." He lied. He was actually going to check out the river after she left.

She smiled. "Kay!"

She walked back to her house as Dragon stood there. He turned around and walked to the river. When he arrived, he looked at it.

It was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen. The river, the damp, murky, dirty river of Portrait, was sparkling like a net of stars. He looked up at the sky. It was a starry night. He then looked back down at the river. The glow reflected off of his pupils.

That makes 3 wonders now…

1 was the magically growing flowers…

2 was the talking fish…

And now this.

He stared hard at the river. He didn't know if this was a wonder or not, but he counted it as one.

He walked off to his home and repeated in his head, That makes three, that makes three.

Just a quick side note, everyone notice how the last chapter's name, "River of Stars" kind of goes along with the end of this chapter? Well, I kind of had a messup when updating that last chapter and originally it had this 'STARRY RIVER' part in it. But since it screwed up, I moved that part to this chapter, so if anyone's confused by that, there ya go.
