Bolt and Aqua sat cuddling each other. Aqua's stomach felt better now. They looked at Volteer as he explained more growth and developments.
Volteer was now explaining major developments.
"The brain… Your brain is central control. It makes your choices, figures out problems and makes up what your about to say."
The young dragons listened in awe. Volteer continued,
"Your brain grows larger and smarter as you age. It means the closer you are to an adult the smarter you may be."
Volteer continued on…
In the dragon room:
I was starting to wake up. The other two were still asleep. I sat on the edge of my bed twiddling my thumbs. I ended up getting so bored I decided to wake the two up in the meanest way: Scaring them. I was creeping up to them and…
"I know you are there DT." John whispered.
"Darn it…."
"Steve's still asleep. You can get him still." John assured me. I smiled at him.
"Thanks." I whispered. I tip-toed over to Steve's bed. I leaned over and….
"HOLY DONUTS!"
Man… you should've been there. Steve looked like a cat you screamed at. He jumped up rolled off the bed and screamed.
I was rolling on the floor. John and I laughed so loudly they could hear us in the library! Steve eventually got up and sat on his bed. Our laughing died down after a while. We were bored again… we all twiddling our thumbs in unison.
"What do we do now?" Steve asked. John and I had to come up with ideas.
"We could tell jokes."
"Nah" Said the other two.
"I want to read…" John said. Suddenly a creepy smile stretched across his face.
"John, they are having their *learning Session* in there." I warned.
"I know. We just have to be stealth." He crept out the room and headed towards the library. Steve and I stood there.
"John, wait up!" I said running down the hall to catch up to him. We walked down the hall until a sign said library. We tip-toed with our backs against the wall. We did not make a sound. We tried to ignore what Volteer was telling the dragons. John was looking up to find an interesting book.
"That one." He proudly pointed to a book witch the title was Fables and Myths. Yet, it was on top of the selves.
"We will need to stack on each other's shoulder."
"Oh jeez." I sighed.
"Heaviest on the bottom, lightest on top." John stated. So Steve was on the bottom (obviously), John was in the middle and I was on top. Steve got into position under the book. He pushed John onto his shoulders. I was up next, Steve pushed me up. John grabbed my had and hoisted me up onto his shoulders. As expected we swayed back and forth.
At the moment Cynder decided to check on Aqua. She turned around. She saw Aqua with a smile. Cynder smiled as well. Yet, her attention was drawn from Aqua to us… We swayed from side to side.
"Back a bit… you're too close to the shelf."
"To the right now Steve." John said.
"Not that's your left…" I sighed.
Cynder turned around giggling.
*He He he* She eventually ran out of air… the only way to breathe again.
*HA HE HA *SNORT* HA HE*
Cynder giggled and snorted to get air back in her lungs.
The other dragons started laughing. Spyro held his wing over his mouth. Bolt and Aqua looked at each other; confused.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know."
Volteer stopped talking. (Yes… the laughing was that bad)
"Why are you guys laughing?"
"We don't know" A tan dragon said.
Coal and Linder had red faces, trying not to laugh at Cynder's snorting. Volteer looked back.
"Oh, Cynder is snorting again…"
Spyro tried to get Cynder to stop.
"Cyn- *giggle* please stop snorting you making everyone laugh!" He chuckled. He could not two seconds without laughing.
We were still waving around, trying to grab the book with each pass by. We missed every time. Then by some miracle I finally grab it.
"I got it!" I cheered silently. Steve tripped and gravity took over…
*Thump*
Well, it more of a bang…
But, it was enough to silent the dragons laughter. They were dead silent in just three seconds!
"I'll go and see what made the boom." Bolt said standing up. He walked over to the corner. He saw us in a pile with the book in our hand. He was stunned.
"You guys can't be here." He clucked.
"I know we can sneak back out."
"Alright I'll be a distraction." He walked out from the corner.
"See anything?" Linder asked.
"Nope"
"I guess it was books falling off the shelves, dear" Coal said.
That two line conversation just bought us enough time to escape. We tip toed down the hall until we made the turn to the room. We ran at full speed. (Steve was behind)
By now Volteer picked up where he left off.
"Alright, now we will cover some difficulties growing up."
"Cynder this is it, listen up" Linder said to her daughter.
Cynder leaned over to Spyro.
"This is the part we came here for."
"What?"
"The mood swings…" She reminded.
"oh.."
Then their eyes glued to Volteer.
"One of many difficulties is you may be cranky most of the day. This is natural. To solve this just take a nice rest or a good nap."
Bolt and Aqua were starting to move up in the crowed so they could here better. They could finally hear more clearly.
"How's this?" Aqua asked Bolt."
"It's fantastic, nice idea moving up."
"Yea, I'm smart like that."
Volteer was now talking about adjusting to new abilities.
"Another difficulties is that your powers grow stronger. This takes some practice to get used to. Its actually common in teen dragons. To prevent this, just practice firing your breaths weekly."
Spyro already knew what was next. Bolt and Aqua too leaned a little closer in.
"The last thing I want to talk about now is Mood Swings."
