As for character descriptions, Heron is a large, amber-colored MudWing. She is almost always smirking. She hates boys. Her brother is Grit. I know she seems kind of irrelevant, but bear with me here.
Mindseeker went to his History class. There was Tumbleweed, droning on. There was Nightshade, half asleep. He always turned invisible when he was about to fall asleep. Tumbleweed never notices he's gone. There was Grit, trying his hardest to follow along. There was Jackal, bouncing around, Tumbleweed not able to suppress her. Freeze and Aero were talking again. Surf, of course, was listening intently, seemingly hearing and thinking about each word that came out of Tumbleweed's mouth. After every question, she shot her claw into the air. She was always called on, partially because she, Grit and Freeze were the only ones ever answering questions. Eventually, she raised her claw for no question.
"Yes?" Tumbleweed said.
"Can my friend Heron sit in on this class?" Surf said. "She missed this one, and she's ahead in her current class, and-
"Fine." Tumbleweed said.
Surf got up, and ran out the door. Soon, she came back with Heron. Heron looked about as excited as Surf. They were talking to one another ecstatically when they came in.
"Quiet down." Tumbleweed said, and turned back to his scroll he was reading to the class. After a few more paragraphs, he said.
"I want you all to read the next chapter to yourselves." He said. "So buddy up."
Freeze and Aero didn't even say anything to each other. Surf and Heron buddied, of course. Mindseeker made his way toward Nightshade. "Want to be my-"
"Sure." Nightshade said. Mindseeker looked to see Grit and Jackal paired. Mindseeker read with Nightshade. Nightshade was quite a bit better at reading then Mindseeker was, but he lacked expression. Mindseeker, however, read very loudly at first.
"Shut UP!" Heron said.
"But I need to read this." Mindseeker replied.
"Do it QUIETLY." Heron said.
"Because that's something you are showing obvious experience in." Mindseeker replied, now getting really into this argument. Heron was exactly like the NightWings in the village. It was almost comical how much she was already like Murderclaw, one of Mindseeker's old classmates.
"I do, for your information." Heron snapped back at Mindseeker. "I never speak in class when I am not allowed to. I always do all of the work assigned to me. I've only gotten good grades so far."
"What's it like having that little amount of life?" Nightshade said. Heron turned to him.
"You stay out of this!" She hissed, but Nightshade was already looking back at his scroll. After a few seconds, he turned back to Heron.
"Sorry, did you say something?" He said. Heron looked angry now, her face was turning red underneath the scales. She turned back to Surf. Still mad.
Mindseeker noticed later that Heron was whispering something to Surf, giggling. Surf looked embarrassed. Right after Tumbleweed stopped talking, and he said the gong should sound any time now, Heron said to Mindseeker "Say yes."
"Say yes to what?" Mindseeker replied.
"Just say yes." Heron said, kind of angry.
"Why? What am I saying yes to?" Mindseeker said, semi-frantically.
"JUST SAY IT!" Heron said.
Mindseeker looked over at Nightshade. "Don't say it." He warned. "Nothing good can come from it."
Mindseeker figured that if this was something bad, he and his friends would then have a reason to pull one of their pranks. Mindseeker LOVED the last one they did, it was quite some fun, until Coyote beat up Sandstone.
"Yes." Mindseeker said finally, and Nightshade face-palmed.
Heron erupted into giggles. Surf turned red, redder than Heron had been, but it wasn't from anger. It was embarrassment.
"Three moons, what did I just say yes too?" Mindseeker asked.
"You just told me the truth. Your secret."
Mindseeker looked blankly at Heron.
"Whatever it is he just said, it was forced." Nightshade said.
"Stay out of this!" Heron replied, angrily.
Mindseeker was worried now. It was obviously something pretty embarrassing to him too.
"What did you ask?!" Mindseeker pressed Heron.
"You love Surf!" Heron said. "I knew it, since you had the same kind of comeback as her. 'You have so much experience in the subject'"
Mindseeker glared at her. "I didn't know what I was saying yes to! That's not fair!"
Heron laughed. "You're not denying it!" She said.
"There's nothing to deny." Nightshade said again.
"Stop butting in!" Heron said.
"No, he has a point." Surf said this time. "Mindseeker didn't know what he was agreeing too, why is he supposed to deny a non-existent claim?"
"Ugh, you and your big words." Heron said.
"NightWing no understand, so he no need to say uh-uh." Nightshade said in a baby voice.
"SHUT UP! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY IT?!" Heron screamed at Nightshade. Then the gong sounded, and she left, with Surf.
"It's time to get out of here" Said Nightshade.
It was finally meal time. Mindseeker had told everyone in their group about it. He looked at his friends.
Nightshade, Dreamseer, Sandstone, Gulf and Jetty. Today, Toucan and Oak also came to sit with them. They all understood Mindseeker's side.
Who wouldn't? Mindseeker thought to himself.
"Well, you need Surf on your side." Nightshade said, after being quiet for the whole conversation. "If Heron's getting it denied on both sides, she can't really do anything."
"Well, yeah, but it's not about that." Mindseeker replied. "I want her to just be quiet about it, that's all. I really don't care if neither of us like each other, she's just being nasty."
"So, what are you going to do about it?" Sandstone asked.
A mischievous smile crept across Mindseeker's face, slowly. A small spark of an idea flickered into a bonfire into his head. "We do what we do best" Mindseeker said. "We get back at her."
"Hey hey hey, take the 'we' out of that sentence." Dreamseer snapped. "I thought of the plan last time."
"So?" Mindseeker asked. "All of us did it well. Besides, we have a ton of people this time." Mindseeker responded.
"What are you guys talking about?" Toucan asked. "What about getting back at people well?"
"Nothing." Sandstone said quickly.
"This is suspicious. What did you do?"
"I told you, nothing."
"You did something."
"He's not going to tell you, Toucan." Oak interjected. "So we should just drop it." As they left, Toucan looked back at them with her eyes narrowed.
"So, what's the plan?" Dreamseer asked. "Let's see if Mindseeker is as genius as me."
"It's an obvious plan." Mindseeker said. "We kill her."
Everyone looked at Mindseeker.
"Say what now?" Dreamseer said.
"I approve." Said Sandstone.
"Well, that was a joke." Mindseeker said.
"Oh." Sandstone said. "Uh, Me too. Haha.
Everyone now looked at Sandstone.
"Well, let's pretend that didn't happen." Nightshade said. "Moving on with Mindseeker's plan."
"Right." Mindseeker said. "We get Surf on board with this, like Nightshade said, and then we both kill her together."
"Yeah!" Sandstone exclaimed.
"Good idea! So much better than your last plan!" Dreamseer said.
"Am I the only one with a problem with this?" Jetty asked.
"He's kidding again." Nightshade said. "Hopefully."
"No, I like it!" Dreamseer said, shuffling his talons together. "What do we do it with?"
"Two sharpened sticks, I guess."
"Let's all take part." Sandstone said. "It will be like Julius Caesar!"
Now everyone looked back at Sandstone, except for Nightshade and Jetty, who were bewildered with the whole conversation. Gulf had been actually eating his food, so he wasn't listening.
"What's a Julius Caesar?" Mindseeker asked.
"I have no idea." Sandstone said.
"Well, that takes care of that problem." Nightshade said. "Onto out next. Do you actually plan on killing Heron?"
"Why not?" Mindseeker asked.
"Because murder is wrong." Nightshade said in a direct voice, like he was talking to a newborn dragonet.
"But I want to!" Sandstone said.
"No, nobody's murdering anybody." Jetty concluded.
"Awww." The three other dragonets said in unison. "Why do you get to decide anyway? You chickened out on our last plan." Dreamseer said.
"Hey! I fulfilled my role last time!" Jetty argued.
"You know what? We'll do it without you two." Sandstone said. "You in Gulf?"
"Hm?" Gulf asked.
"We're going to kill heron." Dreamseer explained.
"Nope, nope, nope." Gulf said. "I'm out of here. You dragons are crazy." He and Jetty left.
"Okay, are you actually, 100% serious?" Nightshade asked.
"Sure" Mindseeker said. "I've never killed someone before." Mindseeker said.
"Good." Nightshade said.
"It's my first time as well." Dreamseer said. Everyone looked at Sandstone again.
"What?" He asked. "What did I do?"
"Get out of here." Dreamseer said.
"Okay." Sandstone said. He trudged away, then started chasing a chicken.
"Listen." Nightshade said. "Murder is very wrong. How would you feel if you were Heron?"
"Dead." Mindseeker said.
"I mean, when she's getting murdered for basically no reason."
"Oh." Mindseeker said.
"Well, I personally was completely joking, just going along with it. Now I'm scared. I'm out of here. He's your problem, Nightshade."
"He's always my problem." Nightshade said. "Please get revenge in a normal way?"
"How so?" Mindseeker asked.
"I don't know!" Nightshade said.
Mindseeker at this point didn't really know what he thought to do. Killer her was pretty normal, right? Back in the night kingdom, murder plans happened a lot, but now come to think of it, it didn't actually happen ever, not that Mindseeker knew. So what should he do?
"Fine, for your sake, I won't kill Heron."
Nightshade exhaled. "What possessed you for that decision?"
"I have thoughts you know." Mindseeker retorted.
Nightshade mumbled something, but Mindseeker chose to ignore it.
"What if we challenge her to a game, and rig it so I win, in front of everybody?" Mindseeker asked.
"How does that solve our problem?" Nightshade asked.
"Problems don't always have to be solved." Mindseeker said.
"Oh." Nightshade replied. "Well, you should clear things up with Surf anyway."
Mindseeker agreed, and that's what he did.
"Hey Surf?" He asked her in a corridor.
"Get away from me, you creep!" She said, and yanked herself away from Mindseeker.
"Hey, you know Heron just made that up!" Mindseeker said.
"Whatever, what do you want?" Surf asked.
"I need an accomplice." Mindseeker answered.
"For… wh… actually, I don't want to know, I'm out." Surf said suspiciously.
"It's for revenge…" Mindseeker said.
"If you do anything, I'll tell Tumbleweed!" Surf threatened Mindseeker.
"If I do anything, you won't know." Mindseeker said, grinning maniacally.
Surf left in a hurry.
"Sie ist so ein Mistkerl und ein Weichei. " Mindseeker mumbled under his breath.
"What was that?" Nightshade asked, appearing out of nowhere.
"Hey! Stop creeping around like that!" Mindseeker said, surprised.
"Invisibility is how I am normally." Nightshade argued. "I only turn visible so you guys know where I am."
"Well, that's great." Mindseeker said, sarcastically.
"Anyway, I learned this other weird language from old scrolls in the Night Kingdom. I insult people that way, so they have no idea I'm insulting them."
"Smart." Nightshade said, then quietly; "Unlike you…"
"HEY!" Mindseeker snapped. "So are you in or out?"
"Well, what game are you cheating in?" Nightshade asked.
"Did someone say cheating?" Principal Raptor appeared around the corner.
"Um, no?" Mindseeker asked. "We're talking about stuff we've never tried eating."
"Surf told me you were up to something. Just cheating at a game isn't something I would consider principal worthy… but that's not why I'm here."
"Why are you here?" Nightshade asked.
"I'm trying to go to the bathroom cave. If you would let me by."
"Oh." Mindseeker asked, chuckling. Raptor left.
"I just got a way better idea." Nightshade said. "What if we burn all of her food when she isn't looking?"
"Naw…" Mindseeker said. "I guess we don't really have to do anything. We now have an official enemy, though."
"Hah." Nightshade laughed. "Fun. Look at us, 3rd day of school and we already have an enemy."
Mindseeker grinned.
