Chapter 3 - Moving on

Ragdonly and Fox watched as Chance was packing her last suitcase into the taxis trunk, she passed around hugs and looked at Lila.

"I'll miss you and I'm sorry if I was such a pain in the ass" she looked at the ground delaying her
departure for as long as she could. Lila started to cry.

"OH my Chance! I'm not sending you to Bryan's because I don't want you anymore, I'm sending you because it's time for you to move on dear, you've learned what you needed thorough me I'm passing you onto my son so that you can bring him as much joy as you did me! it's not a punishment!"
She hugged her pet and sobbed,
"Never think I didn't want you, I'll always love you no matter what!"

"Your strong, just like Lila and Michael and it's time to bring joy to others, I don't want to be
overbearing, it's not totally fair to you if I was, so out of love I am letting you go to another special home where you will be cherished! and you can always come home if you want."

Chancelyn realized then and there her foster mom was right. She never considered Lila her mom before now, so when it was time to pull out she had a rough trip to Bryan's and cried most of the way. When Bryan picked her up at the exchange she was shy and nervous but Bryan was
all happy with delight and fussed over her with joy.

"Oh my aren't you a beauty!" he said "You know your my first LE!"

Chance though Wow! I will be pampered here and smiled at her new owner.

Back at Lila's home Fox was sitting at the kitchen table mulling over his science work for school.
He was only going off and on to classes since it wasn't mandatory but this level was particularly hard to mull over when Lila walked into the kitchen and placed a blue official looking piece
of paper in front of his face...He KNEW what that was and picked it up grinning from ear to ear...
A naming certificate.

He looked at Lila and then got up and gave her a big hug, Lila Laughed hard... She was happy to see the sheer gratification on his face after receiving the so badly wanted item.
It was when he hesitated that made Lila wonder what was on his mind.

"Ummm... this present didn't take from Ragdonly's gift did it?" He asked out of concern.

Rags who had just popped into the kitchen on her way to class piped up.
"Nope and if it did no big deal mom sells TONS in her shop and through her web site, I'm in no rush to be changed back to quell just yet, besides it's worth seeing the smile on your face!"
She commented nonchalantly and then blushed again when she realized what she had said sounded more intimate than intended.

Fox walked over to Rags and gave her a hug to and whispered "Thanks, I like your smile to!" and then he chuckled when she blushed again. He looked over at Lila who was giggling like mad.

"Hey Lila, I think you might wanna portal her into a love fassie she's the same shade of pink!" he said gently elbowing her.

Rags blushed harder, and then she scurried over to her mom pecked her on the cheek and rushed out of the house.

"Wow she was in a rush to get to class wasn't she." Lila said with a smile, as she watched Rags fly out the door.

Fox looked at his new owner and realized she had no idea what made Rags rush out so quickly. He had a funny feeling he was the cause of it but let it be for now, he had a name to choose!

Rags trip to school was uneventful but her brain wouldn't stop working over time while she was in class. Why did she get all weird around him. It bothered her that she was so distracted by one new member in her home. She continued to write notes and was doodling at the same time. She drew a caricature of a skater Snookle riding on a Gonk that had wheels instead of a skate board and named him "Sir Dantillias" she giggled at her doodle which irritated her history teacher and he was one scary dude to deal, not to mention the fact that he was a zobied Zetlin.

Mr. Bonze glared at Ragdonly.

"Something Amusing you'd like to share Miss Rain?" He asked.

"No sir," she stammered and shoved the paper into her Fasoro notepad "Nothing at all."

Class ended and she headed home. The trip from Mara city to Puchala village was a long one but
she made a stop on the way home at Lowlywood and picked up a piece of celebrity clothing and then continued on. Ragdonly sat on the bus on her way home and took out the doodle that nearly got her into trouble.

"I seriously have to get my head out of the clouds if I plan on making it to the top of my class"
she thought. She stuffed the doodle haphazardly back into her note book when her stop came,
and bounced off the bus. She walked into the front door kicking off her shoes and aimed for her room yelling

"Mom I'm HOME!"
The doodle fell out of her notebook and fluttered to the floor. She didn't even noticed as she walked off to her room. Fox heard Ragdonly come in and looked for her but didn't see any sign of her till he spotted the piece of paper on the floor, thinking it was one of Rags important class papers he
picked it up to give it back to her and seen a cute doodle, he thought it was very well done witty and funny as heck. but there was a bigger eye catcher & He LOVED it!
Excited He ran to Rags room flung opened her door and grabbed her swinging her in a full circle, kissed her on the cheeks and yelled thanks, shoved the doodle in her hand and then ran back down stairs to tell Lila the good news, he found what he wanted!

Rags stood there dumbfounded holding her picture stunned, shocked and beet red.

"WHAT hell just happened!?" she wondered.

2 hours later she found out what was going on, Fox came back with Lila and a new white piece of paper. He had his name changed, to Dantillias!

"You took the name I gave my cartoon character?!" she asked dumbfounded.

"Yep I thought it was SOO cool and it's unique, no one else has that name here, did you know that?" He said with the biggest grin she'd ever seen on anyone's face.

Laughing she said "No I didn't know that, glad to have been of some help."

"Ahh but that's not the only thing he said to her as he reached into a shopping bag pulling out three items." with a flourishing of his arms he presented her with a white enchanted quell plushie, the one magical item that would turn her into the critter she wanted to be again. He then passed her a Angel cossie to... Rags nearly fainted.
"OH MY SOUL!" she exclaimed breathlessly. "HOW in the world did you get this?"
"I got Lila to buy them with the money Mandy sent with me when I moved here. I did after all
come to her with 25 million MP ya know." he said with a smile

"Actually I didn't know" Rags said stunned looking back up at the newly named Dantillias.

He was holding something else in his hands. "What's that?" she asked.
"A skater Snookle potion" he grinned.

"Your gonna morph to skater Snookle?!" she asked slowly her eyes widening. She loved skater Snookles they were so agile and adorable to! (and yellow was one of her favorite colors next to
orange and purple)

He grinned his wickedly cute grin and shook his head yes.
"Thank yourself for giving me the idea, I plan on portaling a couple of times and then morphing Snookle... I think it'll suit my personality and my new name to a tee."
he winked and placed the potion in the attic cupboard.

Ragdonly was running over with so many overwhelming emotions she didn't know what to feel first...
So... she fainted.

The next time she opened her eyes Dan was hovering over her, she realized she was on the floor and yet she was in Dan's lap to.

"What happened?" she asked.

"Too much excitement I think" he said brushing a strand of hair from her face.
the gentle gesture made Ragdonly blush again...

"Do you want to get up now or do you need more time to get your strength up?" He asked.

"I don't think I could move even if I wanted to" she said her head swimming.

He grinned again but still had a concerned look on his face.
"How do you feel, you ok?"

"Nothing a bit of breathing won't clear up" she joked.

He let out a hearty laugh and propped her up in his arms.
"Just lean against me, I don't want you to fall over again." he said one he got her situated.

she was super embarrassed now and blushed again. She huffed and crossed her arms.

"What's wrong" Dan asked confused.

"YOU!" she said...

"Huh?!" "What's wrong with me?!" He asked totally bewildered.

"Your too nice!" She huffed.

He roared with laughter shaking her in the process. He hugged her tighter thinking she was gonna slip out of his arms. She knew she shouldn't be mad at him, he was doing what came naturally, but her frustration was what made her react. She flipped out of his arm and found herself on her hands and knees looking him in the face...

"Grr, you're so smug and overly chipper sometimes, it drives me mad."
she tried to get up and continued to rant over nothing, and blurted,
"You make me blush too much, red is NOT my color!"

She wobbled still weak from her fainting spell. Dan scooted over quickly in front of her and caught her again before she hit the floor for the second time. She was in an awkward situation now and it made her blush again. Dan looked down at her red face and grinned.
"I think red suits you just fine, It brings out the violet in your eyes" he said before he kissed her.

She melted and both of them slid back to the floor. He relaxed and pulled back looking into her eyes.

"You confuse me" she said as she tucked her head into his shoulder.

He chuckled and thought he was in heaven, what was so confusing about that?
