Disclaimers: Yup, I own 'em. Ha! I'm dreaming on! : (sigh)

A/n: Before you start reading, I wanna tell y'all that it has been AGES since I

played a Crash game. So, if some things are inaccurate, please excuse me.

I don't know how or why everybody keeps pairing up Dingodile and Coco.

Uh, I guess this will be a romance story, and one chapter will seem like a "songfic". But it's a chapter of the story, not a song. Hmm, I think I'll call it a "songchapter". So simple, no?

Even though a lot of you pair up and Dingodile with Coco, I, Tifa, shall

differ! This is a crossover story of Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot.

Guess who will be paired up with Coco. - For those who are not so smart,

it's Spyro. Enjoy!

From Now and Forever

Chapter 1: Love At First Sight

It was a nice, sunny day. The bandicoots and their gaurdian were enjoying the warm weather outside their small cottage. Crash was trying to do new tricks with his yo-yo, Pura, Coco's tiger, was taking an afternoon nap with adorable little purrs, Aku-Aku was savoring the clean air of the greenery that surrounded the cottage, and listened to the singing of the forest birds. While all the others were doing activities that were "traditional" with the outdoors, Coco was typing furiously on her purple laptop computer. "Whatcha doing, Coco?" asked Crash lazily, yet he actively spun his yo-yo around.

"Oh, just writing in my little journal. I'm so glad we defeated Cortex."

"That's what you wrote in your journal?"

"Crash, do you really think I'd tell anyone what I write in my journal?

Well, yes. I did write about that too."

Crash smiled. Coco had always been fun to tease, not hurtfully, but playfully. "Ooh, what else did you write in your journal? No, no. Let me guess. Hmmm...'Dear Diary, Besides the news about Cortex, I have other girlie junk to write. I wish...I wish...I wish for a pretty pink dress, with pink slippers, and a very huge, very pretty pink ribbon bow to go on the my head. And I hope I will get married to a handsome boy, who will love me, and - ..." "Crash, will you stop it? You're being dorky now." said Coco. Her brother started to make kissy faces, and Aku-Aku started to laugh heartily over the little scene. All was going well, until the clouds started to cover the sun, and soon, there was an overcast sky above. Some dark clouds passed by. "Those rain clouds don't seem so friendly. Come, my children. We should go inside now." said Aku-Aku. "But the meteorologists said it won't rain today at all." protested Coco. "Well, they aren't always correct, you know." replied Crash as he started to wake Pura. Yet, Coco was still doubtful of what was happening. Suddenly, a thunder sounded, and a bolt of lightning struck the front yard of the bandicoot's cottage. There was no hole created of it. "That's strange. The bolt didn't do anything." mumbled Crash. "Wait! Do you hear a voice?" Coco exclaimed. The four creatures all stopped and listened. A faint, faraway voice was screaming. It started to sound louder and louder until the creator of the voice landed with a thud on the grass of the yard. "Ow!!" yelped the stranger as he landed on his back. Coco gasped. Crash made a mute exclamation. Aku-Aku was very much appalled. Pura had just woken up with a yawn. The stranger was an adolescent, male dragon, between Crash and Coco's age, but definitely was not under Coco's age. He started to groan with pain. Aku-Aku was the first to talk to the newcomer. "Here, here, child, let us help you. Crash, Coco, let's carry him into the cottage." Crash quickly helped, but Coco was still did not move a muscle. She seemed to be in a trance. "Uh, Earth to Coco? Help us!" scoffed Crash. She then woke up from the trance, and carried a part of the stranger's body into their shelter.

In a few minutes, the stranger became quite better. "Thank you for taking me in and helping me. It was really awesome of all of you." said the grateful dragon. "You're very much welcome, child." replied Aku-Aku heartily. "How did you fall from the sky?" asked Crash. "...I don't know. I was going through a portal, and all of a sudden, I found myself in a bunch of clouds, and...falling. Am I not in Dragon World anymore? 'Cause I never saw anybody like you guys before." The stranger took a look around at the four, hospitable creatures. There was a tiger, a boy with shorts and sneakers, a floating mask, and...and...His eyes stopped at the last creature. She had golden blonde hair with a purple orchid holding her ponytail, limpid, bright emerald green pair of eyes, and a kind atmosphere seemed to capture her face and body. Her form also gave out a goddess-like air. She was very beautiful. No matter how hard he tried, the dragon could not take his eyes off of her. "Hey, I'm Crash." introduced Crash. He was the first to break the silence. "And this is Aku-Aku. He takes care of my sister and I." "Hello." smiled the mask. "Nice to meet you." replied the dragon with a grin. "This is Pura, my sister's pet tiger, and last but not least, this," Crash indicated Coco, "is my younger sister Coco. She's very intelligent." concluded Crash. There was a short moment of silence. Coco, it seemed, was paralyzed by the newcomer. Not physically, but emotionally. She finally managed to speak. "Hi." she moved her beautiful mouth. Now it was Spyro's turn to say something. 'Say something - anything! You're gonna look like an idiot.' thought the stranger to himself. "Hey, I'm Spyro." Spyro. 'What a cute name.' thought Coco. The infatuated two met eyes. And that, was the irrevocable and the unforgettable moment - of Spyro and Coco.

Author's Closing Remarks: Hey, hope you enjoyed this first chapter of my love

story. So, what do you think? A bit different from the usual pairings, eh? Well, this is it.

ALSO, can anybody tell me how or why people pair up Coco with Dingodile? I'm

not objecting to that pairing; I'm just so curious. Thanks in advance to

whoever answers that question of mine.

Expect the next chapter to be up soon. Now that it's summer, I have more time

in my hands. I'm still not accustomed to everything here in Fanfiction.net, so

please don't be hard on me. Reviews are appreciated, and bye bye for now! :D
