I shouldn't have felt so joyful. I wasn't used t the overload of worries and thoughts, that I sank to the ground, clutching my head in both talons. I was hardly aware of the worried voices that surrounded me. My mother, my father, the murmurs of the guards, and I was sure that I heard someone else as well. But All I could listen to properly, was the dragonets around me.

Oooo, i wonder if Clay will notice me, since I'm really into healing as well.

O. M. G. It's Princess Sunny! Squueeee! But wh is she heading over to that group of NightWings and RainWings? Oh, of course, she's extra-super nice and welcoming! I'm gonna be like her!

Oh dear, mummy won't see me again for ages. I wonder if she'll miss me. I'm being brave and big now, but she gonna miss me and cry every night. Poor mummy.

I only like students because they're ready for me t boss the around. I hate that they're all so tiny.. . .Okay, Sunny's right we were that titchy once ourselves. NO TSUNAMI, DON'T ADMIT SUNNY'S RIGHT, YOU'LL EMBARRASS YOURSELF!

Uh oh. Uh oh. Uh oh. TOO MANY PEOPLE!

I could totally relate with that last one, except for different reasons. I forced myself to think about rain. but the excercise didn't help. I shakily stood up, and stumbled right into a gold dragon. She smiled at me, and I noticed that she must be Sunny, the SandWing Princess. "You must be Princess Bluemoon! Let' get you inside to the Infirmary, we have some medicine for headaches. And some special pills for exhaustion. Let's get you some now," she said, and I realized that she didn't know about my mind reading.

I knew that Moon hadn't been in touch with the Prophecy Dragonets over the past few years, but I had expected at least mother or father to tell them before I got here. I mumbled goodbye to my parents, gave a feeble wave, slouched up to the entrance cave, where Clay was waiting. He had seen the whole scene from up there, and was watching worriedly as I was taken up the rocks. Clay hurried over, and put an arm around me, motioning for sunny to do the same. And just in the nick of time too, since I collapsed in their wake, not because I was swooning of amazement, but because They too were worried. Over the top worried. And I was over it.

When I woke up, I was Lying on a bed in a cave filled with sunlight. I blinked blearily, and noticed Tsunami ans Sunny arguing a few beds away. "Outraegeous! Day one, and already a student has collapsed! I tell you, we should send her home, so that she gets proper medical care. We can't have our rates shoved down, or she Queen's will stop sending dragonets, and the LeafWings, SilkWings, and HiveWings have come all the way from Pantala to go to school here," Tsunami was saying.

"Tsunami. The first day is always overwhelming. Think about Moonwatcher. She hid behind a tree for the first fifteen minutes, because she was terrified," Sunny chided.

"Maybe, but at least she didn't collapse!" They moved closer to me.

"From what I've heard, Bluemoon is overwhelmed easily! That's what her parents told me before she came."

So my parents did mention me, just not in the way I hoped.

Sunny turned around, and saw that I was awake. "Bluemoon! However much you heard of that converstaion, forget it. We are not going to send you back to the rain forest, are we Tsunami?" Sunny turned and glared at Tsunami.

"Aww, you look so cute when you're angry. No, we're not," she added a little begrudgingly. "But next time, remember I'm the boss 'round here, so don't force me into making decisions I'm not willing to make."

Tsunami turned and exited the room. Sunny turned back to me. "Let's get you out of bed and to your room. You're going to love your roommates."
