Hello readers! I really hope you are still enjoying this story, and that you continue to support it. I also came up with a OC ship for Galactic x Waterfall: Galacticfall.

Now, onto Chapter 18 :D

(Galactic's POV)

It was December in Pyrrhia. Dragons were scampering around, getting overpriced gifts from the stores that were open. It was especially busy because it was noon, meaning that most dragons were out of class and were going to out and about to get their gift list done, but not me.

I was currently in my dorm room with Cel, waiting for Starflight to bring back the pizza we told him to get. We usually do the errands while he studies for weekly exams. Today, he needed to get Fatespeaker a gift, so we sent him out with some money for the pizza. While we waited, we played some games on the Skybox, and I was recording for videos.

It was starting to get boring playing the console, mainly because Cel wasn't really focused on the game like he usually was. I beat him time after time while he stared into space, probably thinking about the IceWing/SkyWing hybrid he told me about on the car ride after the trial, but that was a couple months ago.

While I running my character to him, I glanced at the IceWing, who was staring at the window. He has never been this distracted in his life, I thought as I looked at him. It wasn't until a minute later that Celsius realized we were in another match.

"Sorry," he said sheepishly as he started to hit the controls.

"It's fine," I reassured him. "It's just weird of you to be this out of focus."

"I know," he admitted. "I can't just get her out of my head."

"So you got a crush now?" I asked, but already knew the answer. All he did was nod as he fired his character's gun, killing my character. I looked at the screen as my character respawn into the match.

"I'm just wondering if I'll see her again," he murmured to himself, and I decided to stop the conversation.

"I wonder where Starflight is," I said to him, wanting to change the subject.

He looked at the watch on his wrist and frowned. "He's been gone for about an hour. How about we focus on the game for now, then we can yell at him."

I sighed in relief that I was able to change the subject. I then started to make my character run again as I looked for Cel's character. It was like that for ten minutes before Cel got a glimpse of me and sniped my guy in the head. I set up my controller down and sighed, putting my claws in my face as the the screen declared Cel the winner of the match.

"I'm still getting used to the metal claw," I told him, and he chuckled.

"Still using that excuse, I see," he responded with a wide smile on his face. "You've had that claw for a couple months now, I thought you would be used to it by now." It was true, I have gotten to used to the claw a month ago, but it's still a excuse when I lose.

We were about to start a new round, but we then heard the door open. We both whipped our heads around to see Starflight with two brown paper bags come into the room.

"About time," I said sarcastically, and he looked at me with a mock serious expression.

"Sorry," he told me with no sincerity at all. "I was just getting Fatespeaker a gift from the jewelry store. You'd be surprised on how long I waited to get to the cashier."

As he set the stuff down and got out a frozen pizza, I got from my seat and turned on the oven to preheat it. I then ripped off the plastic covering the pizza and placed it on the counter to thaw it a little. "What else were you getting?"

"Uh, maybe food so we don't starve," he said dryly, showing me what was inside the bag.

"Wassup, nerds!" I heard a new voice yell, followed by footsteps entering the room. I turned to see Freakave walking in with a know-it-all expression on his face. "I got some news you need to hear!"

"You might want to lower the volume on your mouth," I told him, and he rolled his eyes, smiling.

"That won't happen, and my aunt said that we could invite a couple friends to stay at the mansion for the weekend," he explained to us. "Waterfall is inviting a couple of her friends, too. Besides, she'll be glad to see you." He said the last part as he looked at me, wiggling his eyebrows. I just shook my head, my cheeks heating up. "She had a really tough last week, with the exams and all."

"I know," I responded. "She texted me." I grabbed my phone and held it up to see, and he shrugged. "I'll be happy to see her, too." Freakwave nodded, still grinning as he walked to the couch and made himself at home.

"One more thing before I start a one versus one match against Cel," he announced as he grabbed my controller. "There's a Christmas Dance at the Jade Mountain basket stadium on Christmas. So, Galactic, I wonder who you will be taking."

"That's like in two weeks!" Freakwave just stared at me. "I'll go to the dance," I told him as I blushed a bit more. I knew it was bad to blush in front of Freakwave, because he would use it to embarrass me later on, probably in a week. "Just promise me that you won't try to prank anyone. I don't need any more enemies."

"I don't make promises," he said as he started the match against Cel.

"Can you at least tell me what time I need to pick Waterfall up?"

"Around 5:30 P.M. Make sure you look sharp!" I rolled my eyes as he turned back to the screen and began to play against a legend.

"Then I hope Cel kicks your tail in this game!" I called from across the room, putting the pizza in the oven. "You don't get any pizza either!"

(Waterfall's POV)

I was currently in my room at the Royal SeaWing Mansion (the one above the water), reading a book. I was laying on my bed, holding the book up so I could read in the light. It had been a long week for me, so I decided to relax for the entire Christmas break. As I read, all I heard was the peaceful sounds of the birds chirping. I sighed in relief that there was nothing chaotic going on today. Well, until Tsunami decided to barge in.

"Hey cous," she said loudly, making me shriek at the sudden noise. I jumped up from the bed as I threw my book out the open window. She started to laugh as I glared at her.

"You know I hate it when you do that," I told her, but she just kept laughing.

"You should've seen the look on your face," she said, as the laugh quieted to giggles. "I just wanted to see how you were doing."

"It's only been like, what? Two hours?" I responded with a grin. "But I know you aren't here to see if I'm okay or not."

"Hey!" Tsunami said in a now, serious tone. She then came next to me and sat down on the bed, her wings folded back. "I just want to make sure you don't get attacked again. My mother is especially worried for you."

"I'm fine," I reassured her. "Galactic has given any dragon who tried to claim me as a trophy a lesson. I'm also happy that he doesn't treat me like one, too." I then saw the look on Tsunami's face turn evil. Oh no, I thought as she changed the subject.

"So... did Galactic ask you out to the dance, yet?" she asked me, and I blushed a little.

"No," I answered her. "I wouldn't be surprised if Galactic didn't know about the dance until the week before."

"Have any other dragons asked you?"

"Oh three moons," I started, giggling. "About one hundred dragons asked me on different occasions, but I only have feelings for -"

"-Galactic," Tsunami finished with a smirk, and I just scowled at her.

"You don't need to cut me off every other sentence," I said sternly. "How about Riptide?"

"Not yet," Tsunami started with a frown. "I'm not surprised either. I don't think he has the guts to even ask me, but patience is key."

"Since when have you learned patience?" I asked dryly, receiving a scowl from the cousin. "Now get out of my room, please." She rolled off the bed and walked out the door. "And get the book while you're at it!" She then slammed the door behind her, and I started to chuckle. It was good to annoy Tsunami every once in a while; it made life much more fun.

My phone suddenly made a notification sound and I looked at the nightstand, where it was placed. I picked it up with my talons and saw that my three friends from college were coming over for the weekend. Graceful texted that she was already packed and ready to be picked up. I grabbed my car keys off the nightstand and I walked out of my room. Walking down the stairs, I saw my younger cousin, Anemone walk into the living room.

"Hey, Anemone," I called to her, smiling. She turned to see me and smiled back warmly. Acts just like her mother, I thought as I went in with her. Time to wait for them to arrive.

(Galactic's POV; 7 hours later...)

It was around 7:00 P.M. when we got to the Royal SeaWing Mansion. I was holding a present for Waterfall, wondering if she would like it or not. I was going to give it to her as a early Christmas present.

"Almost there," Freakwave announced from the driver's seat. It was Starflight, Cel, Freakwave, and I who were going to spend the weekend at the mansion. "Prepare for three solid days of straight up partying."

"Three moons, please don't," Starflight groaned. "I need to get some rest this weekend."

"I don't make promsises," the SeaWing prince answered as he turned into the driveway of the palace. It was a semi-circle, with two guards standing at the door. He turned off the engine and got out from the car. We all did the same and stretched from being in the car for two hours.

As we got of luggage out, we heard the mansion entrance door open, and I turned my head to see Waterfall. She was wearing a grin as she approached us with Tsunami behind her.

"About time," Waterfall said in a stern tone, but she was smiling. "You should've been here hours ago."

"Sorry sis," Freakwave said with mock sincerity. "Galactic wouldn't get off his game."

"Coming from the dragon who hogged my Skybox all day," I responded, and the SeaWing princes giggled. I then stepped to Waterfall and held out the gift I got for her. She looked at me with a confused look, but accepted the present. "Go ahead, open it."

With a nod of thanks, she then used her talon to slice the wrapping paper and opened the top of the container. With a small gasp, she put her claw in and grabbed the present I gave her: a turquoise bracelet with five sapphires inbedded in it. She then look at me with a wide smiling and threw her arms around me.

"You shouldn't have, but thank you," she whispered in my ear, and I chuckled a little.

"Anything for my girlfriend."

With that, Waterfall put her claws on my face and pulled me towards her, locking us in a kiss. I heard my friends go "ooooo", but I didn't care. This was a great moment in my life.

She then pulled away from me, blushing a little. I gently took the bracelet from her and opened the lock to keep it on the wrist. Then, I gently grabbed her claw and put around her wrist. Closing it, I smiled at her again before she gave another hug the gratitude.

"Get a room, you two," Tsunami said, and we all laughed. Grabbing my suitcase, I followed the SeaWing princesses into the mansion, with my friends right behind me. They led us upstairs to all the guest bedrooms.

"You guys can pick a room," Tsunami told us. "Our friends are waiting for us in the main room, so be quick." My friends and I nodded as they went back downstairs.

"Go find your rooms," Freakwave ordered us, and we all just looked at him. "What?"

"Don't order us around ever again," Cel said. With that, Freakwave put his hands up surrender and backed away. "I call that one." he pointed to the room I was closest to and walked in it, closing the door behind him. I just looked at Starflight with a questioning look; he just shrugged.

Seeing a open room, I walked to it and close the door when I went through. I turned on the light to see a T.V. set up on the wall the bed was facing. Sweet, I thought as I set the suitcase down and went right back out of my room. I met up with Freakwave, who was going to be our guide around the mansion, unfortunately.

Once we all came out from our rooms, we went downstairs to meet up with Waterfall, Tsunami, and their friends. Freakwave walked in first, followed by me, Cel, and Starflight. As I walked in, I saw six dragonesses (not including Tsunami and Waterfall) lounging around the main area of the palace. They all turned to look at us, curious. I recognized a few of the dragons: Sunny, Glory, and Fatespeaker. I saw a RainWing with vibrate pink scales, an orange SkyWing, and a teal colored SeaWing wearing two pearl bracelets on her left arm.

"This is awkward," I whispered to Cel, who nodded in agreement.

"Being the only male dragons in the room right now," Cel whispered back. "I couldn't agree more."

"Ladies," Freakwave announced, bowing to all the dragonesses. "I would like you all to meet Celsius, Starflight, and Galactic."

"You mean the one who survived that car crash?" the SkyWing dragoness asked.

"Yes, I do mean him," Freakwave responded with too much enthusiasm, making the SkyWing laugh.

"Hello everyone," I announced, waving. Cel and Starflight did the same thing and we went to find a seat. I took a chair that was next to Sunny, Starflight took a seat on the ground and rested his back on the couch, and Cel decided just to stand up. We all watched Freakwave, who was acting like a counselor to us.

"Maybe we should introduce ourselves, one by one," Freakwave told us. "So who wants to go first?"

"How about the doofus who suggested it," Tsunami called from her seat, and she and her friends howled in laugher. The SeaWing prince just scowled at them.

"Fine," he huffed. "My name is Freakwave, nephew of Queen Coral and the brother of Waterfall: a possible heir to the throne. You happy?" Tsunami nodded, still laughing.

"I'm next!" the RainWing said excitedly. "My name is Graceful, and I go to Jade Mountain Academy. Nice to meet all of you!"

"I like the enthusiasm," Freakwave complimented, and Graceful giggled. "How about you?" He pointed to the SkyWing sitting on the coach.

"I guess," she mumbled. "My name is Summit, and I go to the SkyWing College near the palace." She looked at Fatespeaker, and the NightWing's eyes lit up.

"My name is Fatespeaker. I'm a NightWing, and I go to Jade Mountain... I'm also Starflight's girlfriend," she mumbled the last part, but it was loud enough for all of us to hear.

"Oooooo," we all went as Fatespeaker and Starflight's cheeks turned a crimson color. We then started to laugh, making Starflight get up and to walk out of the room, embarrassed.

"That was... exciting," Freakwave managed, then looked at his sister. "You're up."

"Okay," she responded, then turned to face all of us. "My name is Waterfall, and I'm am the sister of the annoying prince Freakwave. I go to Jade Mountain and, well, that's it."

"Not all of it," Freakwave snarked, receiving a pillow to the face and a glare by Waterfall. I chuckled as Freakwave stumbled a couple feet back, grasping the pillow that hit him in the snout. "Hey!"

"I know you," Waterfall growled. "Stay out of my personal life." The SeaWing princess looked at the teal SeaWing who was just watching the scene in amusement.

"Oh!" she suddenly said, realizing that it was her turn. "My name is Seashell, and I go to the Royal SeaWing Academy. My favorite color is teal, too."

"Nice to know," Freakwave informed. I gave him a skeptic look, he usually doesn't say that to new dragons he meets. Waterfall must've seen it to, because her eyebrow was raised as she stared at him. "IceWing, introduce yourself."

Cel looked at Freakwave disapprovingly, but he got off the wall he was leaning against. "My name is Celsius the IceWing. I am probably the only IceWing to be friends with a NightWing, too." He pointed to me, and I stood up.

"Hey," I said, and all eyes were on me now. "My name is Galactic, and I go to Jade Mountain. I am also the popular NightWing on the media right now with the whole 'miraculous car crash survivor.'" I did the last part in air quotes, earning a few giggles from the dragonesses. I grinned at them as I sat down.

This is going to be an epic weekend, I thought to myself as Freakwave started to talk again. This time, we all listened to them. Starflight came back into the room, with a light shade of red on his face, still. I rested my claws behind my head as Freakwave started to tell a story to us.

Chapter 18 done! I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and I will see you all in the next one. Also, tell me if you come up with a better ship name of Galactic x Waterfall.
