"THAT STUPID MOONS CURSED SKUNK FART FILLED SLIMEBALL! THAT COW SPIT UGLY DUMB BRAINDEAD MORON! THAT FAT IDIOTIC PIG-"

"Peril, calm down, at this rate, everything in this room will be burnt and destroyed if you don't calm down, and try to think straight."

Peril glared at Turtle, who had a concerned look on his face, although she didn't know whether it was for her, or for the objects that were still intact from her outburst a few moments before.

"WELL EXCUSE ME, HOW AND I SUPPOSED TO BE CALM WHEN THAT WASTE OF SPACE OF A DRAGON JUST HIT ON CLAY IN FRONT OF ME? THEY PROBABLY ARE COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER AND HAVE 5 LITTLE DRAGONETS NOW, AND-"

"Moons Peril, that was only a few minutes ago, and how do you know if Clay even likes her?" Turtle asked. "How would you feel if some dragon you don't know came up to you and started flirting with you?"

"Well, I would be very embarrassed and flattered and I would think that the dragon was very sweet and THIS IS NOT HELPING TURTLE."

Turtle sighed. One of the challenges of being Peril's friend was dealing with her very loud and destructive way of dealing with a problem. He remembered one time when he and the Jade Winglet were out flying. It was a very beautiful day, with the sky being bright blue and only a few clouds in sight. When they landed on the break for a short break, Kinkajou stumbled on a rock and scraped her scales on a rock. The Jade Winglet looked over at her in concern, and asked if she was alright. But before she could answer, Peril came over, took one look at her scraped scales and immediately thought that an animal of some sort hurt Kinkajou. 1 minute later, all the animals in the vicinity were burned and dead, and any nearby trees were on fire, with Turtle Moon, Qibli and Winter frantically trying to put them out.

"Three moons, Peril," Kinkajou exclaimed, "I trip on a rock and you destroy the whole area?"

"Oh." Was all that Peril had to say for herself.

Turtle smiled at that memory. After the trees were put out, everyone had a good laugh at Peril's overreaction to Kinkajou's scrape.

Well, except for Winter, but they expected that.

"Okay, okay, okay," Turtle said, "If you're so worried about someone hitting on Clay, then why don't you confess your feelings to him? Because I'm pretty sure he likes you too."

Peril stared at Turtle, with a deadpan look on her face.

"That, by far, is the dumbest thing I have heard in my entire life. Are you serious? Do you expect me to just walk up to Clay and say, Hey Clay, I've had a crush on you since we were in Scarlet's arena, do you wanna go out with me?' Like, are you serious? What if he rejects me? I would just crawl back to my cave and COMPLETELY DIE. I would-" Peril rambled on and on, too busy listing ways on how she would die if Clay rejected her, then to notice Turtle walking out of the room for a few moments, and coming back in with a shocked look on his face, as if he saw something horrifying.

"PERIL! THAT SAME DRAGON WHO WAS HITTING ON CLAY BEFORE IS BACK AGAIN, AND SHE'S TRYING TO PUT HER ARM AROUND HIM!"

Turtle was not ready for the volume of the yell that Peril was about to belt out. He might as well dug his own grave right then and there.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT?!"

Turtle covered his ears and quickly jumped out of the way as Peril stormed past, looking ready to burn down the entirety of Pyrrhia. "They're in the great hall!" he quickly shouted. He hoped that she was too angry to realize that he couldn't have gone to the Great Hall and back in that short of a timespan, but it looked like it worked, as Peril immediately turned and headed in the direction of the Great Hall. "Looks like my plan succeeded." Turtle thought with a mischievous smile on his face. After a few seconds, he walked out the door and headed toward the Great Hall. After all, he had to see his plan in action.

Peril was angry. She was very very angry. You could clearly see smoke rise from her scales and she stormed through the halls, dragonets jumping out of her way as to not get set on fire. When she reached the Great Hall, she looked around for Clay, saw him, and bolted over to where he was. Midway, though she saw that there wasn't any female dragon hitting on him. In fact, the Great Hall was quite empty, with only a few dragonets walking around, heading to other places.

"Turtle lied to me." Peril realized. It was like a full grown cow running at full speed crashing into her, as she slowly figured out Turtle's plan. "Well HA Turtle, it didn't work. Now I am going to find you, and when I do, it will be very very very VERY painful." Peril was about to turn around, when Clay finally noticed her and called out to her. "Hey Peril! I need to talk to you!"

Oh no.

She nervously walked over to him, talons fidgeting the whole way. "Yeah Clay? She asked, trying to look calm.

"How come you ran away earlier? I was really worried that something had happened to you, or I did something wrong. Are you alright?"

Peril gulped, still trying to act natural.

"Yeah, I was just walking, when I realized that I didn't organize my homework, so I had to quickly run back." As soon as she said that, she immediately facetaloned in the head as that was the stupidest thing she could have said at that moment.

"But Peril, you can't touch anything, so why would you have any need to organize your homework?" Clay asked, with a confused look on his face.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhh," Well Peril, it's now or never."

"I'vereallylikedyouforaveryververylongtimesowhenIsawthatothergirlhitonyouIwasreallymadandIranawaypleasedon'thateme."

Clay's mouth fell open. As soon as those words left her mouth, she immediately turned around and tried to run away, but stopped when Clay shouted, "Wait!"

Peril turned around, desperately trying to cover up how embarrassed she was. Clay looked at her with a huge smile and a blush on his face.

"I can safely say that I have no reason to hate you, because I like you as well!"

Peril's efforts to hide her own blush were completely wasted as her cheeks turned so red that you could easily tell the difference between her scales and her face.

"You-you do?"

"Y-yeah I do," Clay responded. "I've actually had a crush on you for some time now, but I was too scared of getting rejected to ask you out."

Peril smiled. "Really? That was the reason why I didn't ask you out either!" The two shared a small laugh together as they looked at each other with huge grins on their faces.

"Well Peril," Clay started. "Do you want to go out with me?"

"You don't have to ask twice."
