Love is in the Air

A weary Spyro and Ember sat by a shivering waterfall at sunset. Like the others they were tired out. Ember finally spoke.

"I want to come with you on your further adventures," she said softly. Spyro looked shocked.

"You can't!"

"But I want to!"

Ember sighed. Tears began to stream down her face.

"But why Spyro, why can't I come with you?" Ember asked, sniffing a little. Spyro didn't answer for a second.

"Because I'm afraid you'll get hurt."

Ember looked shocked. She began to cry more when Spyro said nothing more.

"Oh Spyro, I love you ever so much, but you haven't ever returned the love I gave to you!" sobbed Ember.

"But Ember, I do love you," Spyro said, ever so softly, before he kissed her. Ember leaned into the kiss and both closed their eyes. Ember stopped crying.

A figure watched, jealousy filling her.

Elora burst through the bushes screaming, "He's mine!"

Smoke and Ember 2 walked side-by-side nearby. Smoke looked at her, love in his eyes.

"Ember, there's something I want to tell you," Smoke said, quietly. Both stopped walking.

"But I'm too afraid to tell it," he continued, sighing.

"Aw, come on you can tell me," said Ember 2, facing him.

"I can't, I'm afraid you'll shout at me," spoke Smoke, his head dropping.

"Please tell me."

"Well…the fact is that I…" he paused for a minute. Ember 2 could tell he was indeed scared.

"Well I… love you," Smoke whispered. Ember 2 looked shocked. He winced.

"In my dreams, only have you said those words," she said, her green eyes wide. They both closed their eyes and kissed. Ember 2 placed a paw upon Smoke's muscled chest.

They broke the kiss when they heard a screech, then a splash.

"Ember!" gasped Ember 2.

Ember lay in the water, her chest being punched continuously.

"You thief! Die now!" screamed Elora.

"Spyro's mine!" continued Elora.

"Get off her!" Ember 2 shrieked. Elora turned round and pulled the gold female dragon into the blood red lake. She began punching Ember 2 as well. Ember 2 managed to punch Elora in the face. Smoke and Spyro pulled Elora off.

"Spyro, they hurt me, punish them!"

"No Elora!"

"Spyro doesn't listen to you, his love now is Ember!" snapped Smoke.

"That's not true Spyro!"

"It is!"

Elora looked shocked.

"But Spyro, I love you! I won't let that weed have you! She's not good enough to have you!"

"Elora, listen. You and I…just don't go together, understand?" Spyro said gently.

"NO! I love you and that's all that matters!"

"But Spyro doesn't love you," Ember 2 said.

"It's true!"

"NO IT ISN'T!" screamed Elora, so all the dragon realms could hear.

"YOU LOVE ME!"

"I DON'T!" shouted Spyro.

"Now p off!"

With that he charged into Elora, sending the fawn flying.

"Curse you Thief! And you Sunshine!" growled Elora. Ember 2 charged into Elora a final time. Elora skidded along the sandy path and ran home, crying.
