YES, Chapter 4! I finally got it after suffering from a writer's block and from a brainstorm of art! Mostly, I'd like to thank TerraTerror for helping me out on my writer's block. She is very imaginative. Also, I guess you can consider this a songfic chapter...the song "Cartoon Heroes" belongs to...well, whoever made it up. Not much of it is in though.

Once again, I do not own Red or other Spyro related characters...I only own Kate.

Bite Sized Dragon: Bad Reunion

POV

Uh...where am I? Wasn't I sleeping before? I was in the girl's room, and now I'm in...my lab?

MY LAB! HA! Now I should be able to get to my normal state. Huh?! I'm a mech again?! And I'm large! Why does this look familiar? DeJaVu again! I'll never get use to it.

"HEY BIGJAW!"

Who said that?! Aah, Spyro..."I bet you can't say that to my face, now can you!" I yelled back.

"I can bet my life on it!" Spyro yelled back with a smirk.

"Well...too bad for you, you purple twerp. YOU LOSE!"

"NOW PROFESSOR!"

WHAT?! No, NOOO! I'm shrinking! I...I-I can't move! WHY CAN'T I MOVE?! Stupid legs! AAAAAAAAH!!!

Ugh...AAH!

"Get away from me you...HORRID LITTLE DRAGON!"

STOMP!

"WHY?! Are you afraid of me now?!" Spyro yelled back with a giant voice. He lifted his paw, and...

"No, NO! Get back! STAY AWAY! AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!"


"AAAAAAH!!!" Wha-?! Huh?! I-...it was only a dream...j-just a dream...more like a FLASHBACK NIGHTMARE! I swear I'll kill Spyro when I get back to normal! I must have fell asleep.

Wait...where is Kate? Oh great, she left her room recked! Some manners she has! Now I'm smelling bacon...BACON?! NO, no, I'm hallucinating again! The door is open-OOF! A stuffed animal fell on top of me...a PINK bear!

"Rrrr, STUPID TOY!" I knocked it strait across the room, and it hit the wall. I noticed the other stuffed toys around me; lifelessly starring at me...-shivers- Very disturbing.

"...What are YOU all looking at?!" I knew just saying that made me look rediculous...not that I could look anymore rediculous in my recent state. Once again I had to crawl through the rubble to get through the door. I proceeded to the hall, then went down stairs. The stench of bacon was stronger down here. I also heard singing.

"We are what we're supposed to be
Illusions of your fantasy
All dots and lines that speak and say
What we do is what you wish to do"

...Is that Kate singing? No, it couldn't be. I walked to the kitchen entry. Kate WAS singing, and cooking breakfast. She didn't seem to notice me, so I climbed quietly up the counter and watched her continue with her self-entertainment.

"We are the color symphony
We do the things you wanna see
Frame by frame, to the extreme"
---
"Our friends are so unreasonable
They do the unpredictable
All dots lines that speak and say
What we do is what you wish to do"

What a...sweet voice...BLEH! Cuteness! I'm going to gag! What kind of song is this?! A song for...oh of course. For a 7yr old...a pink and purple loving, 7YR OLD! HMP! Stupid imagination! Children shouldn't have this! When they face reality they end up losing it, so there's no point in having imagination WHAT SO EVER...hmm, why do I feel warm all of a sudden? Oh no, not again!

"It's all an orchestra of strings
Doin' unbelievable things
Frame by frame, to the extreme
One by one, we're makin' it fun
---
We are the Cartoon Heroes - oh-oh-oh
We are the ones who're gonna last forever
We came out of a crazy mind - oh-oh-oh
And walked out on a piece of paper
---
Here comes Spiderman, arachnophobian
Welcome to the toon town party
Here comes Superman, from never-neverland
Welcome to the toon town party
---
We learned to run at speed of light
And to fall down from any height
It's true, but just remember that
What we do is what you just can't do
---
And all the worlds of craziness
A bunch of stars that's chasing us
Frame by frame, to the extreme
One by one, we're makin' it fun
---
We are the Cartoon Heroes - oh-oh-oh
We are the ones who're gonna last forever
We came out of a crazy mind - oh-oh-oh
And walked out on a piece of paper
---
Here comes Spiderman, arachnophobian
Welcome to the toon town party
Here comes Superman, from never-neverland
Welcome to the toon town party
---
You think we're so mysterious
Don't take us all too serious
Be original, and remember that
What we do is what you just can't do
---
What we do is what you just can't do
What we do is what you just can't do
What we do is what you just can't do
What we do is what you just can't do
---
We are the Cartoon Heroes - oh-oh-oh
We are the ones who're gonna last forever
We came out of a crazy mind - oh-oh-oh
And walked out on a piece of paper
---
There's still more to come
And everyone will be
Welcomed at the
Toon - Toon
Town - Town
Party"


When Kate finished singing, she flipped the last pancake onto a plate. She turned around and noticed Red sitting on the counter, dumbstrucked.

"YAY, your awake! I made breakfast. Eggs and pancakes with bacon!" Kate said with a smile. Red woke up from his trance and grunted. "I dont like eggs." Red said.

"Ok, I got pancakes and-" Red turned around with his back facing her. "I don't like pancakes either. I don't want any of your horrid food!" 'If I keep breaking her spirits, then she won't want me anymore and throw me out. Then I'll get to my lab and become my normal state...no one will see the strike.' Red though to himself and laughed under his breath. For a few minutes everything was silent, except for the sound of sizzling bacon on the pan.

'Come on...anyday now! A whimper, a sigh, anything?!' Red tapped his foot on the counter, getting impatient from waiting...until he turned back to her.

"...Oh for elder's sake, START CRYING ALREADY!" Red yelled. Kate had a confused look the whole time, but then started to giggle. "Your funny Mr. Red." Kate replied.

"NO, I am no such thing! Your suppose to be upset!"

"...Upset?" Kate asked with the same confused look.

"YES! Upset! Depressed! SAD! Just like other little children are suppose to do!"

"Why would I be sad? You don't have to have pancakes if you don't wanna...and my mommy said that I'm special from other kids."

' Wise pain in the-' Red started to feel frustrated. He never met a little girl who would talk sense to him. He was mostly use to kids being scared of him, or getting upset. Infact, tormenting people was his most entertainment. Just freezing that gnorc at the Coastal Remains and smashing him to pieces gave him the satisfactory. It showed he was a threat to society, and that no one should ever mess with him! Until the fact of Spyro came to his mind...he could almost see the resemblance of Spyro in the little girl. Well, who wouldn't? She was mostly lavender and purple. This made him even more frustrated.

Red turned around again and crossed his arms in a stubborn way. "Just leave me alone! Monsterous child! Can't even give any respect to an upcoming ruler!" Red mumbled. "Uh uh! You need to take your medicine!" Kate replied.

"I'm not sick! I only have a broken wing!"

"But its for your breath and-"

"MY FIRE BREATH?!" Red turned around. "The potion to bring my firebreath back?!" "Yup! Its in the pet lab!" Kate grabbed Red and carried him across the house. They went into a room in the back of the house. She flipped a light switch.

KYAAAAAAAR!

"AAAAH!" Red crawled behind Kate's back. The same brown Phoenix that chased Red was within a large cage. Its beak was bandaged up, including its right wing. "WHAT is that...that THING DOING HERE?!" Red yelled.

"Well when I found you, I saw the bird all hurt in booboos, so I took care of it too." Kate said with a smile on her face.

"WHY WOULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?! You should have let that beak brain die in the cold rain!" The Phoenix's only reply was another screech, which made Red cover his ears. "But that would be mean. My mommy told me that every living thing is important, even if its a bad thing." Kate replied.

'There goes that wise mouth of her's!' Red thought to himself. "Important my tail! That THING tried to eat me!" "I named it Pecks! Isn't he cute?" Kate said and giggled.

"DEFFINITLY NOT!" Pecks glared at Red for the comment, almost like he could understand him. Red took notice and glared back. "Ok, I'll put you on the counter. I need to find the potion." Kate placed Red down on the counter like she said, and raced to an old oak cabinet that was in the room. She looked through potion viles and bottles. Pecks kept starring down at Red hungrily. Luckly, Red was able to read his mind.

'Should I snap your wings off first, or maybe I'll mibble at your head.' Pecks thought to himself.

'Don't get any ideas, you filthy animal!' Red thought back. Pecks was startled from what Red said in his mind. He started to go crazy, trying to get out of the cage with fright. Red only laughed.

"That's right...you better fear me!" Red yelled. "Aww Pecks, what's wrong?" Kate ignored the potions and went up to the cage. "I think Pecks has a disease and wants to be set free." Red replied with an evil grin. "Did Mr. Red scare you?" Kate asked the bird. Red read Pecks' mind again.

'DUDE, a fricken dragon just talked to me, like...IN MY BRAIN! Man, I ate too many small gnorcs yesterday! They're like alcohol!' the Phoenix thought. Red once again laughed. "Stop scaring Pecks Mr. Red, or you won't get medicine!" Kate said, and went back to the cabinet. "Oh, I promise I won't scare Pecks...much." Red said and gave the bird an evil smile. Pecks stayed silent the whole time, even in his thoughts! Kate finally found the right bottle and filled a tea spoon with the potion.

"Open wide!" Kate said, and held the tip of the spoon to Red's small mouth. He drank it all with a big gulp.

"BLEH! That stuff tastes awful!" Red said. He took a few moments to let the potion go into effect, and stepped back. He took a deep breath and exhaled...once again, smoke came out. Luckly he didn't choke this time. He glared at Kate in anger.

"You lying little BRAT! It didn't work! What kind of fool do you take me for?!" Red yelled. Kate ignored him by reading the lable on the potion bottle.

"It says:'Once potion is taken, it will take...ef-fect after 6 days.' " Kate read out loud.

"Six...days?"

"Uh hu! Then you can spit fire again!"

"...Six...days." Those were the only words he could say, phased out by what my be the last of his sanity...if he ever had any that is. Later that day, Kate took Red back to her room. She only started to color doodles and such, while Red only stared out the window, still phased out.

'Six days...days that I have to spend...in this HORRID HOUSE! I'm going to go mad! Well...maybe if my wing fully heals, I can start traveling to my lab. Then we'll see who talks sense to-' Red's thoughts were interupted when the phone rang from another room. "I GOT IT!" Kate yelled and ran to the other room. Red grunted again. "Oh, don't worry...its not like I'm in much of a HURRY!" Red said with sarcasm. There were sounds of conversation in the other room. Being curious as Red was, he scurried to the hall and took a peak in the next room.

"But mommy, what about movie night?" Kate asked. It was obvious she was talking to her mom on the phone. Red took the moment to read her mind. He could hear the thoughts of her mother's words.

"I'm sorry honey, but a flock of love birds suddenly became very ill. Also, I'm still taking care of the sheep for the season, so I have to do over time." Kate's mother's voice said.

"...But what about supper?"

"There should be leftovers or extra Tv dinners in the fridge.There should also be cut meat for school tomorrow."

"I hate Tv dinners! Can't you come home, mommy?"

"Honey please! These animals are very important to the village, and-"

"More important than me?!"

"...That's not what I said Kate-"

Red ran back to Kate's room when he knew that Kate would hang up. He climbed back up to the window and put up an act, like he didn't hear anything. Kate did infact hang up the phone, and ran back to her room; falling face first into her bed. After a few minutes, Red turned his attention.

"So...uh, who was on the phone?" Red asked. The only reply Kate could give was a whimper. All of a sudden, a shock of thoughts were filling Red's mind. All of Kate's thoughts came to him at the same time. He clenched his head. Sometimes reading minds wasn't a good thing. Especially if thoughts would hit you at 20 miles per minute! For Red, it almost felt like his head would explode! So many thoughts...

'She doesn't love me anymore!'

'She promised!'

'I miss daddy!'

'I HATE MY MOMMY!!'

Red couldn't take anymore of it. Each thought drained him of his energy, and gave him the HUGEST headache he ever had. And then...he fainted...

Two hours later...

'Ugh...my head.' Red got up from the window sill. From before he must have fell asleep again. He turned to Kate, who was still whimpering in her pillow.

'I can't believe this...how can her mother care more about work than Kate? Even I know how parents are, but I know my parents were never careless of children. When it goes to the point of hating her own mother, THAT point is too low to describe! Well...I'm sure its just because Kate's angry. She has to let out a little steam in some way...' Red thought to himself. At that moment, Red only did one thing to react to his thought...he ended up slapping himself in the face. ' WHY AM I THINKING OF SUCH THINGS AGAIN?!' Red got caught up in his pride, and puffed up his chest. He leaped off the window sill and walked up to the bed. When he was on top of the bed near Kate, he tugged on her shirt.

"Now listen here, Kate! In my day, young dragons who cried were considered weak! Just because-...uh..." At the moment Red didn't know what to say, for he didn't want Kate to know what he knew of her mother. Red recollected himself. "...You may be younger and smaller doesn't make you a weakling! Whatever your problems are, you should face then like the young adult you really are!" Red said. Kate lifted her head from the drenched pillows, with her eyes watery and red.

"An...an adult?" Kate whimpered.

"That's right! The fact that you saved me and...that stupid -BUT living bird downstairs shows how responsible you are of other living creatures. I don't think anyone else I know would do something like taking care of me, even when I hurt you unpurpose...do I make myself clear?" Red said. Kate whipped her tears, and gave a heart warming smile to Red.

"-sniff- Thank you..." Kate replied.

"Well...I had to do something to stop all of this childish-OOF!" Red was interupted when Kate grabbed him into another tight hug. "I love you Mr. Red. Your the greatest friend ever!" Kate giggled, and she lied down on the bed. Red tried to get out of the grip, but due to his size it was useless...unless he bit her again on the arm?

No. Doing that would probably make her cry even more than before. After a minute of struggling, Red shrugged it off and layed his head against Kate's arm. He'd might as well sleep...after that whole event of those thoughts, he didn't want another headache.

"Great...just...peachy. This is what I get for helping someone...why DID I help the child?"
