A/N: Like the detail put into the transformation??? I had to think hard about how it looked in the game, its been a while

since i've played. I'm going to try to use as much detail as possible, and just so you people know, I'm writing this chapter

in the same night I wrote the first one ^_^

New Dragoons: Chapter 2: Beautiful Fire Warrior

Rejected and saddened, Tom still hung out with his friends. He sat while they sparred and poked fun at him. He had

never felt this way about any girl before. He couldn't stop thinking about her. Why had she been so cruel? He wanted, no

needed to see her again. He stood up and walked away, none of his friends bothered to stop him. They could all tell that he

was in a particularly shitty mood, and they also knew that he could kick all their asses hands down.

He walked around town, hoping for a glance of his mystery girl. But he couldn't find her. He gripped the amythest

he had found when he was 8 years old. It soothed him to look into its depths, as when he looked at it, it glowed. He

hadn't shown it to anyone, he didn't want anyone to know, fearing one of the adults would see how beautiful it was and take

it from him. He thought once more about the girl, and also about how he would easlily give it up just to be with her. How

could he feel so much for a person he knew so very little, he didn't even know her name!

As he walked past the house of Dart and Shana, his close friends, he figured he'd stop by and see if they knew where

girl was. He opened the door, only to be engulfed in flame, but this flame didn't hurt. Dart and Shana saw him, and knew

that only a dragoon could stand in that flame and go untouched. They leapt forward. Mishi stood in awe at what had just

occured, and next thing she knew, Dart and Shana were bolting for her. She leapt to the side, only to realize that the boy

who had bothered her upon arrival in Celes was standing there. He had his face crunched up, as if expecting great pain, but

after Dart and Shana got to him, he slowly opened his eyes, amazed that he hadn't become charcoal.

Dart was in awe, there stood Tom, having not been lit aflame by the fire from Mishi's transformation. Tom looked to

the side, and saw that the person who had been the cause of the flame had been his mystery girl. 'Wow, she's beautiful, my

beautiful fire warior' he thought, and at that, he feinted and fell into the waiting arms of Dart.

When Tom awoke, he was in his bed, with the the girl sitting next to his bed. He was out of his other clothes, and

in some clothes that he wore around the house, and used as pajamas. 'DID SHE CHANGE ME INTO THESE!?' he thought, scared.

He didn't need to be self-conscious, and he knew this full-well. But it still was on his mind. When Mishi saw that he had

risen, a broad smile shone across her face. "I'm so very sorry" Mishi pleaded. "I didn't know what I was doing, Mr. Dart

had just awakened my Dragoon Spirit and I was transforming. I hope that your not hurt!" She said looking at him with severe

compassion.

"I don't think I'm hurt" Tom said. "Gave me quite a shock though, never expected to walk into Dart's house and be in

the middle of a fire!" Tom joked. If possible, Mishi's smile broadened. 'Wow is she beautiful' was all that went through

Tom's mind. Then he remembered that fact that he was in his pajamas, "How did I get here, and in these clothes?" He asked,

not quite knowing what to expect.

"Well, after you feinted, we all rushed you here. Your mother was really worried, but Dart assured her that you

would be fine. She told him where he could find those clothes, and he brought you in here and after a minute, he let us in."

Her explanation was quick, and she only needed to take one breath during the whole thing! He was surprised, 'that could

definitely come in handy' he thought as he smirked. Mishi saw his smirk.

"Is something funny?" Mishi asked. She furrowed her brow, thinking back to what she had said to try to find anything

comical in it. She decided that there was absolutely nothing funny about it at all and to wait for an answer.

"No, it's nothing, just thinking." Tom said. He had sparked her interest though, and he didn't know how painful it

could be to do so, she wouldn't stop nagging him until he told her what he was thinking. 'Plus' she thought 'he seems like a

really nice person.'

A/N: I know that it could have been longer, but thats just the way it goes. r&r, and I'll keep updating.
