I don't own any characters from the Spyro games but I do own the characters in this fic that don't appear in any of the games.

Growing pains part 2

After a night off absolute hell for Spyro, he had decided to go back to the old school tower in the hopes of encountering Ember again.

"Please be here!"thought Spyro as he rounded the corner where Ember had been.

"She's so different now, and so much more beautiful,"

"Damn it! She's not here!"

The corner where Ember had been was totally bare apart from a charred pink cushion.

"Must have been Embers,"thought Spyro as he examined it.

He felt a very slight pain between his legs now and so he guessed that the worst of it was over.

"Hey, Spyro!" he heard a female voice call,"its me, Emerald!"

Spyro grinned and rushed down the stairs to greet his friend. Spyro and Emerald met each other the same way Spyro met most girls, Rescuing them from evil.

And since he had rescued her, they had been as close as bark to a tree.

Emerald was an emerald green all over, including her eyes.

"Hey Emerald! Jeeze, I haven't seen you around for ages! How have you been?"asked Spyro, with a grin.

"I'm fine, thanks!" she said whilst they hugged each other,"How are you?"

"Well I've been in a bit of pain recently but I think it's clearing now,"replied Spyro.

Emerald giggled,"well not to worry, you're not the only dragon going through puberty,"

"Well duh!"came Spyro's reply.

"Anyway,"Emerald changed the subject,"How are things with Ember?"

"Well...erm...things are a bit shaky at the moment, I think she's avoiding me,"said Spyro, feeling a little upset at the idea of Ember wanting to stay away from him.

"Hey, it's not so bad Spy',"said Emerald, placing her claw on Spyro's shoulder,"You just gotta give the girl a bit of time to get used to being...well...more mature.

She probably doesn't want to see you until she's back in control of herself,"

"Yeah, you're right as usual,"said Spyro, still looking depressed.

"Hey, cheer up! Come on, don't let a little girl trouble get you down, after all, you're a hero! Have some fun for once!"said Emerald, giving Spyro a bit of a shake.

"Hey Emerald, have you been going through the same pains?"asked Spyro.

Emerald looked surprised,"Well...I...I went through it about a year ago. I haven't let it ruin my life though," replied Emerald.

"Sorry Emerald!" said Spyro, realising what he'd just asked.

"Hey it's alright, I don't feel bad about talking about it," said Emerald, looking deep into Spyro's eyes.

"Well...thanks I guess,"said Spyro. Emerald grinned,"hey Spyro, go check out the professors

books on puberty, I found them helpful, maybe you will too,"she said as she walked off.

"See you around!"she called. Spyro watched her walk off and decided that he'd better do what Emerald had said.

Spyro had been walking for about a minute when he came across the professor's lab.

"Professor?"shouted Spyro as he walked inside,"Professor?"he called again.

"Ah Spyro!"squeaked the professor when he saw who was calling his name,"How are you feeling? Is the pain gone?"

"Yes, and I'm feeling a lot better, thank you. Listen, Emerald said that you had some books on puberty that may help me understand what's happening to my body, could you help me?"replied Spyro.

"Yes, yes, of course!"said the professor,"except I have mislaid my keys for the library door, so either you search the realms for my key or you'll have to ask me any questions you may have,"

"Er...right then...well, what's the pain all about?"asked Spyro, hesitantly.

"The pain is your reproductive organs growing all the pieces they will need for intercourse,"replied the professor.

Spyro instantly wished that he hadn't asked.

"Erm...well..thanks,"said Spyro, blushing like never before.

He started to leave but the professor stopped him.

"By the way Spyro, You will be able, now that your stage of puberty is almost over, draw back the patch of scales between you hind legs to...well...you know what I mean. Well good bye then,"

and Spyro raced off before he could say another word to him.

Spyro felt a weird sensation spread through him as he thought through what the professor had said.

He felt a sort of embarrassment at the fact that he'd asked the professor such an awkward question in the first place.

It was all quite hard to take in (as I'm pretty sure you'll understand).

Well That chapter was pretty awkward!

I don't know a thing about dragon's anatomy so I made it up, hope it's not too awful!
