(Spyro's Pov)


I let out a heavy yawn. The sun kept my eyes open, but I could hardly think because I'm so tired.

"Spyro! Look out." I heard Jet-Vac warn in a loud shout. My eyes flickering back to reality, I saw a ball of light smash into my face. I was sent flying across the grass. The blades of grass was sharp and the ground was solid! I think I'm a little more aware now.

I looked up. I saw my team standing with my with my master and guardian Master Eon. Recently Master Eon started to train with us. Its actually kind of nice. Other then it hurt... A lot.

Stealth Elf was giving me a concerned look, even through she looked a little impatient with me.

"Come on Spyro... We haven't got started yet..." Stealth Elf reminded me. Everyone here probably wasn't as tired as I was.

"Let's show Master Eon what we're capable of!" My best friend Eruptor cheered. Thanks Eruptor, but I'm starting to realize, that I'm too tired for today's training. I look forward and stared at Master Eon. He was eyeing me to. Master Eon is like a father to me. I don't want him to think I'm ignoring my training.

But I can't stop thinking about Cynder. She's the girl in my mind. She entered my room. That moment. Just me and her. That's what I wanted to be doing. I mean, I almost kissed her!

I walked forward to Master Eon calmly. He looked at me and stroked his long beard and he gave me a curious expression.

"Is something wrong Spyro? Your not acting like yourself today." Master Eon gave hid concern out in the opening. I smiled calmly. I already came up with the perfect excuse.

"My back... is just sore... I didn't get much sleep last night." I explained. I looked up at my master and I stood boldly. "Let's just get back to training... So I can go back to bed."


(Cynder's Pov)


"Cynder wake up."

I felt a hand wake me up. I wiped my cheek as I remembered I was in class. Darn it! That's three times. I can't stay awake. Me and Hex had class together today. I wasn't really paying attention to it, but I didn't want to be rude or get into trouble.

" Wow... Your really out of it today..." Hex pointed out as she rested her head in her palms.

"Sorry..." I apologize. Hex wasn't mad at me, nor did she phased by my lack of sleep at all. I smiled. I knew Hex was a good friend. So I just looked forward and acted normal.

"Did you... Go to Spyro last night..." Hex quietly asked me. I'm pretty sure I couldn't pull off a clever lie. I didn't even want to lie about it. But, after last night I just knew I was in love with Spyro. He was amazing, he was great. His mere presences was pure.

" Cynder. Did you? " Hex asked, pulling me back out of my head. I turned to her shyly.

"Yeah... I-... I did" I finally answered. I actually felt a little better even. Hex seemed to only smile as a response. Hex looked forward unwavered by this conversation and at ease.

"So... Are you going back tonight?" She asked calmly, as if visiting Spyro at night was now completely normal. I started to blush as I thought about visiting him again. I just had to.

"Yeah... Um... Probably..."

Class felt short. I ended up dazing out of most of my lesson for the day. I decided to spend the rest of my day with Hex. She seems to calm me down a lot. She kept me from visiting Spyro too early. He's been training hard as a Skylander. I'm still just a Cadet. I hope maybe one day, I could be in Spyro's team. I told Hex about this. Hex was supportive.

Soon it started to get dark. Hex and I remained around the academy, near the trail that lead to Spyro and his team's dorm rooms. Hex already had a feeling I would not follow her back to my own dorm room. I found myself staring down the road leading to Spyro.

"It's getting late... So are you... Staying at his place again?" Hex asked me, knowing my answer. I guess I wasn't exactly good at keeping my affection a secret.

"... If he let's me..." I expressed my doubts. I was worried about a lot. Spyro did show sighs of interest. He did like me as a person, But what if his mind has changed? What if he gave it too much thought?

"Well, I'm sure everyone is in bed by now... Now would be your chance..." Hex brought to my attention. She was right. It was late enough. I will visit him. I have to feel safe from any fear.

"Good night Hex..." She smiled and waved. I walked up the road and walked across the yard. I quickly reach the wall of the house. I sneak myself towards the front door. I started to get nervous as I slowly crept the door open. It was Dark. That's a good sigh.

I slipped into the dorm housing. I kept myself low as I cross the kitchen and crawled up the stairs. I heard snoring. Everyone was sleeping. Was Spyro sleeping as well?

I advanced forward and headed towards Spyro's room. Once I saw it my heart started to beat faster. His door was slightly cracked.

I walked over to the door and gave it a small push. The door made a crackling noise. I stepped inside. I looked over and saw Spyro. Spyro was laying down. However, when I entered the room, Spyro's head perked up. Spyro seemed to stare for a moment, he was trying to see who I was.

"Cynder... Is that you?" Spyro asked quietly. I moved through the darkness of his room until I reached Spyro's bed. Spyro looked at me. Wait, he's smiling?

"Yes... It's me." I revealed myself quietly.

"... Still having nightmares?" Spyro asked me next. He didn't seem to concerned about me being here. I hope he let's me sleep here again.

"No..." I answered honestly. I don't ever want to lie to him. I climbed halfway on his bed. "Because... I feel save... with you Spyro"

Spyro stared at me. Those beautiful purple crystal eyes, gazing inyo my very being. I was froze in my own awe.

"Do you honestly feel that way?" Spyro shuffled comfortably. "You... You feel safe ... Being next to me?"

I wanted to take this chance. I wanted desperately to be near him. I wanted him.

"Yes... I... I don't want to sleep... Without you, Spyro." I let out quietly. I didn't mean for it to sound so sweet. Spyro looked at me with calm eyes.

"Well, as long as your... Cool with that... I... Surly don't... Mind."

My heart felt like it was just about to leap out of my chest. He said yes!

I climbed on top of his bed. I found myself cuddling up in his soft blanket next to him. He really did have a nice big bed after all.

Spyro moved closer and I felt his body get close to mine. I started to get shy. He was very close. I never realized Spyro was so big... And strong.

I looked away nervously. Spyro must of noticed this, for he mirrored my shyness.

Spyro however, made the first move by nuzzling my face.

"You trust me...?" Spyro asked me as he smiled. "You don't have to think about anything else but me..."

You silly dragon, that's all I've been thinking about. I nodded anyways.

"Of course I trust you..." I rested my head on his shoulder. I pushed my head up to his cheek and nuzzled him, playfully hard. "I... Thought about you... All day..."

Spyro seemed to have relaxed, cause he began to nuzzle my face back.

"Oh yeah...? All I kept thinking about was... You coming here tonight..." Spyro seemed to be very happy. I was too. I was happy to hear that he wanted me to come back. He was amazing. I just wanted to hold him.

We stopped to look at each other. I admired him. With that look Spyro was giving me, I just hope he liked me...

Kiss him...

Kiss him now...

Spyro started to nuzzle the side of my neck. I justed to feel like my whole body was melting.

Kiss him, darn it!

I pushed Spyro over and I crawled against his chest. I met his gaze with mine. He seemed stunned by my sudden approach of affection. However, he didn't seem at all displeased with my efforts. He held me tight around my waist. Our lips brushed together.

Kiss him...

I was shaky, and nervous. I felt his breath pant with mine. Oh, how the urge to kiss him overwhelmed me. I tried to do it, but my body just wouldn't move.

Spyro went for the kiss. I panicked and chickened out. I shifted just a bit and I kissed Spyro on the cheek. I kept the kiss planted in him. We was both frozen with emotion. We both wanted each other. We both knew this.

Spyro seemed to pull me closer as I let go of his cheek. He rolled me over. We both stared at each other for a moment. We both didn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry... I just" I started.

"No, No. You didn't do anything..." Spyro pleaded back. I smiled to comfort him.

"I'm just... Nervous..." I admitted, even though that only made me more embarrassed.

"Yeah me too..." Spyro admitted as well. That actually made me feel better. We both laid there. I inched closer to Spyro. He did the same and inched closer to me.

Spyro wrapped his legs with mine. His tail coiled up with mine. Spyro hugged my hip tightly.

Spyro nuzzled his forehead with mine.

"Will you visit tomorrow night?" Spyro asked in a sweet whisper.

"Yes... I would love to..."
