End A/N
Flora plucked the petals from the green Avra flower in her paws. "He loves me…he loves me not…he loves me…he loves me not…," chanted Flora, as she said the second part of the verse once more, a voice spoke from behind her.
"Far from the truth," at those words Flora turned around with a smile.
"Terr!" She eagerly greeted as he rushed to her side and nuzzled her affectionately to which she purred happily. The two laid down facing each other with a pile of plucked petals in between them.
"The forests are so beautiful here," commented Flora.
"How can I think of them when all I can think about is you?" he asked. Suddenly Flora blew upon the petals sending them spiraling through the air and onto Terrador.
"There, petals for your thoughts!" yelled Flora as she laughed and ran.
"I'm going to get you!" yelled back Terrador laughing. The two ran after each other for what must have been hours, just delighting in their companion's presence. Finally Terrador rolled onto the ground, not exhausted, but just feeling the need to rest. Flora jumped onto him.
"Ah, is the big bad dragon tired?"
"How can I be tired of you?"
"Ahhh," she sighed as she nuzzled him.
"Flora?"
"Mmm?"
"Where did you come from?"
"It was this far off place with small pine trees that probably reached a little over your thigh. It was hilly, it was really warm but no one had time for a misfit for me."
"You're not a misfit."
"I was the only one my age who wanted Earths as an element, actually I was the only one other than my parents who did."
"Flora, they only mistreated you because they didn't know what true beauty is."
"And when did you learn?"
"When I met you."
"Are all the cut dragons here this cheesy?" she replied laughing as she gazed into his eyes, a gaze he returned with no sign of ever wanting to stop. Terrador pretended to be hurt.
"Oh Terr, I didn't mean-," she exploded in a fit of laughter as she was cut off by Terrador suddenly leaping onto her and tickling her.
