Here is chapter 9, but before that starts.

moi: I don't mind if I update quicker. The reason I suggested it was that I didn't want to forget about the story. When I don't update in a week or so, I start to forget about the story.

(Galactic's POV)

"Wow," was all Waterfall said as we approached the Trion. A smile crept on my face, knowing that she must be a little astonished at the sight.

"That's what everyone I meet says," I responded. "They usually are blown away by just looking at the car. Even more shocked when they see that I'm the one behind the wheel."

I unlocked the car and got into the driver seat. Waterfall opened up her door and got in as well. It was a little weird having your crush sitting right next to you. I started to get a little nervous I as looked down at my talons. After doing that for a few seconds, I put the key in the ignition, making the car hum to life.

"Where to?" I asked Waterfall, who just gave me a look of confusion. "Your house? I'm going to need instructions."

"Oh, sorry," she said, looking away. When turned back, I swear I saw a small shade of red on her cheek. She seemed to notice I was looking at her. "What?"

"Um, nothing," I responded quickly, reversing out of the parking space. Then shifting the car to drive, I accelerated out of the neighborhood. I could hear cheers from the other dragons as I drove down the street. I was finally getting some respect among the other dragons.

Except for that one SkyWing. It was kind of disturbing what she was doing towards me. Trying to flirt, which I've never done. Then, trying to lean into me as if I was her boyfriend. I bet she was trying to do all of this because I had money. I did not like gold diggers, especially ones that start to magically like you when you show up in a two million dollar car.

"It's seems you're popular nowadays," Waterfall suddenly spoke. I jumped a little, not expecting anything to come out of her snout.

"Yeah, yeah...just great," I said nervously. She turned to look at me with her beautiful, emerald green eyes. When looked at me like that, it was like she was trying to search for something to know about. I highly doubted she would be interested in me. I was just a nerd that was also a gamer. Most of my days were just staring in front of the computer screen, playing something she couldn't give a shit about.

"How did you earn enough money to get this car?" she suddenly asked. Oh shit, I thought, panicking. I didn't want to tell my secret to anyone just yet, especially her. I couldn't really trust her, even though I have done things to earn her trust.

"I come from a rich family," I lied. Fortunately, she seemed to believe it. I mentally sighed with relief when she nodded.

"Same," she said. "Except I have things done for me. I never get to anything on my own. A guard always drived me to school. Hardly ever got to drive on my own. Turn right at the next exit, by the way."

I nodded, listening intently. I never thought she would expressing these things to me. I turned right at the intersection and kept going down the road. She kept on explaining about never getting to things on her own. She said that she need to know to do chores when she went to college. She then stopped with her ongoing one-sided conversation and asked me something.

"Where are you going to college?" she asked me.

"Why so many questions?" I asked back, but she just stared at me, particularly my eyes. "And why me of all dragons? I thought you hated me."

"I'm just curious," she answered. I knew she was telling the truth, but I knew there something else about me she wanted to know about. "Well, I'm waiting."

"Jade Mountain Academy," I said, staring at the road in front of me. In the corner of my eye, I saw her mouth yes with a smile. "What about you?"

"OH! Um...Jade Mountain too- AHH!." I nearly swerved off the road when she told me this. It was going to be one hell of a life. I got my old crush going to the same college as I was. To be honest, I was hoping that I could get away from Waterfall for a little bit, but that wasn't going to happen.

I managed to stay on the road, but I hear some dragons cursing some very clever words at me. As usual, I ignored them and continued to drive. I glanced at Waterfall, who only had a petrified with eyes wide.

"Sorry," I apologized. "I was just kind of surprised that you were going to college as me."

"Why would it surprise you? My aunt is paying for me to go to that college," she said, giving me an annoyed look. I mentally slapped myself. Of course, her family is the royal family, after all, I thought. "So I guess that means we're going to see each other a lot more often."

"I suppose it does mean that," I agreed. Part of me was excited about this, and part of me felt dreadful. What happens if I piss her off again, I thought nervously. I took a left at the next exit (Waterfall told me too) and headed down the road.

As I drove, we stayed silent for a minute. It was only broken when I said something to her. "I'm sorry," I told her. The response I got was not as planned. She gave me a look as if I was a fish with wings. "I shouldn't have embarrassed you in front of the entire school."

All I received was a punch to the shoulder. I yelped and grabbed my shoulder with one claw and kept the other on the wheel, not wanting to die. "What was that for!?"

"For apologizing for the stupidest reason in all of Pyrrhia," she responded. "We both know I should be the one apologizing and thanking you for what just almost happened to me. Stop on the side of the road. I owe you something."

I did what she told. I steered the Trion to the side of the road, and turned the ignition off. She turned to face me, and I did the same thing.

"Galactic," she started. "I'm sorry for trying to hunt you down, embarrass you, and possibly kill you."

Then she did the thing I thought would never happen in a million years.

She leaned over to me, making her face an inch apart with mine. Being so close, she leaned in more and kissed my cheek. "Thank you for saving me from Silt. If it wasn't for you, I would've lost my virginity to that pervert."

I could feel the sudden rush of blood go to my cheeks. I looked at her with a surprised face while she only grinned at me. "Uh, no problem," I responded, still shocked from what just happened.

"Consider that kiss a thank you gift," she said. I nodded and turned on the ignition to the car. Turning the steering wheel, I got back onto the road as we headed towards Waterfall's house, which was the mansion. We talked the rest of the way to her house, which turned out to be a three story mansion.

"Wow," was all I managed as I pulled up into her driveway, which was a semi-circle. It made it easy to come and go for all drivers who were dropping off others.

"I know, it's kind of...big," she said. "It's kind of nice to live in a place like this." I nodded as I approached the front entrance of the house.

I stopped at the front entrance and put the car into park. With a "thank you", she opened her car door and got out. It was only a matter of seconds before two SeaWing guards came to the car. They were saying that Tsunami said that Waterfall was assaulted by a MudWing and were asking questions to who it was. She told them she would see her aunt, Queen Coral, and discuss about the matter. The SeaWing guards nodded and stepped out of the way for Waterfall to get through. When she disappeared, the guards started asking me questions.

"Do you know who she got out from the situation?" the first guard asked me.

"I saved her from the MudWing," I said bluntly. The guard nodded and wanted to ask more questions, but I stopped him. "I have to get going before my parents worry about me. (It was totally not true, but I wanted to get away from those guards) Plus, the niece of Queen Coral will fill her in with all the information."

"Of course," the second guard said. They closed my passenger door and went back to their posts. Taking the car out of park mode, I drove out of the driveway and back onto the black asphalt road. As I drove, my thoughts were filled with confusion and shock. Did the most popular girl in high school just kiss me, or am I dreaming? I pinched my arm, and I felt pain.

"Definitely real," I said, a smiling forming on my face. This was probably the most painful and best day ever at the same. Getting slugged by Silt then a thank you kiss from Waterfall.

It didn't take long to get back to my neighborhood. I turned into the street and headed for my house. When I got there, I saw Cel leaning against the outer wall of my house. His arms were folded and he was smirking at me. I pulled into the driveway and cut the ignition, making the engine go to sleep with a hum that went silent. I opened the car door and got out. I looked at Cel, who was now weariing a smug look on his face.

"What?' I asked him. His smiled wider at me; and I knew what was going to happen next. "Don't even think that."

"Wasn't," he replied. "I was just thinking that you saved the most popular dragoness in school from a rapist."

"I know," I said. "She apologized for hunting me down and thanked me for saving her. The end." I left out the part where she kissed me, but my cheeks were getting hot.

To my unfortunate luck, Cel noticed this and grinned evilly at me. "Something else happened. Your face tells it all."

"Not going to tell you," I replied bluntly. I headed for the front door, but Cel blocked me. "Really? Can't I just have a normal life?"

"First off, you never had a normal life," Cel told me. "Second, I need to know everything. It's what friends do for each other."

This was all true, all of it. I knew I would've told him sooner or later, but he came up with one good reason. I sat on the hood of my car and explained everything that happened on the car ride. When I finished, he had a look of excitement on his face. I could tell he was going to talk about this for a couple weeks at least.

"You achieved a girlfriend," he said. I looked at him as if he grown a second body.

"She just said it was a thank you gift," I corrected him. "What makes you think she wants to go out with this?" I gestured to myself.

"Ok, fine," Cel said. "But you need to ask her if you want to be in a relationship."

"I won't do that either," I told him. "I'm not going to embarrass myself by asking the niece of the SeaWing Queen to be my girlfriend."

Cel sighed, giving up with convincing me to do something stupid. He told me goodnight and started walking down the street to his house. I waved at him just before he was out of view, then went inside. It was dark, like most nights. My parents were probably out cold from watching too much television. My brother was probably asleep too, but he sometimes on his phone this late. It still made me a little uneasy when he promised he wouldn't tell anyone my secret. He could hardly keep a secret half the time.

I went into my room and turned on the light. Being temporarily blinded by the bright light, I went to my bed and lay down. I didn't realize I was tired until I landed onto the soft mattress. My eyes started to slowly close. I was able to turn off the light before exhaustion took me over, sending me into a peaceful sleep.
