Hello guys! Sorry for being VERY, very inactive, I've been visiting family and watching too much Memeulous (good channel btw). I will try to update more, but I might not get too much done during my vacation. Sorry for the inconvenience and let's head on to the next chapter.

(Galactic's POV)

It was the day after Waterfall and I got back together, and I was happier than a hyper RainWing. I was currently in her winglet building, walking towards her dorm room, my wings folded and tail swinging from side to side. As I walked to her room, I remembered the moment we had together yesterday with our lips locked. It made me smile even wider with joy and pride. I was lucky to have a lover like her. It gave me a reason to be happy.

I reached her dorm room and knocked on the door, then waited patiently, looking at the door to pass the time. It was only a matter of seconds before I was greeted, but not by Waterfall. It must've been Graceful, her RainWing roommate. She gave me a smile as soon as she laid eyes on me.

"Galactic's here, Waterfall!" the RainWing called from across the room, who had the most gleeful look on her face.

"Okay!" Waterfall's muffled voice responded. "Be there in a second!"

Graceful rolled her eyes at the response, but then focused her attention back on me. "So, I've heard a lot about you."

I gave her a skeptic look. "Didn't we meet before?"

"Yeah," the RainWing responded, "but I've also heard the princess talk about you in her sleep." I went into a moment of surprises, then felt my cheeks go warm.

"What?"

"Oh, yeah, you should hear her. It's sounds like she's having the best dream ever; like she sighs every ten minutes the whispers your name." Graceful explained, giving me a toothy grin.

"Well- um- I guess that's a little bit weird," I responded. I was about to ask the RainWing what she says about me, but Waterfall suddenly appeared, causing me to shut my snout.

"What were you two talking about?" she asked us both, but Graceful somehow disappeared in plain sight. Well, that was before I remembered they have color changing scales. The SeaWing Princess looked at me questionably.

"Oh! Nothing," I immediately responded, and she nodded slowly, staring into my eyes. I was so distracted by getting out of the awkward conversation that I didn't notice how Waterfall looked. As I gazed at her, my voice was began.

She was as beautiful as ever. Her scales were polished and she was wearing four pearl necklaces. Her emerald green eyes glistened with joy as she stared at me. She was more than beautiful, she was stunning. I stared out her, dumbfounded, and she gave me a skeptic look.

"What?"

I immediately snapped out of my gaze and sheepishly looked down. "Nothing, it's just look beautiful. Like a goddess." I blushed, smiling at her after I said the last part. She gave me a kiss on the cheek from the compliment.

"Why, thank you," Waterfall told me. She closed the door behind her and we made our way down the hallway and down the stairs. "Where are we going."

"It's something called a surprise," I responded, and she giggled. "Also, I was wondering if you wanted to go to Cel's hockey game after we ate. He wanted me to come, since they're playing against the IceWing Academy, who is undefeated." We walked towards the exit as Waterfall thought about it for a moment.

"Sure," she answered. "I'd love to go support. It also means I get to spend more time with you." We both laughed as I put my wing over her, and she placing her head on my shoulder. We exited the building and headed towards my car. As we approached the vehicle, I went to the passenger side and opened the door for Waterfall.

"Thanks, handsome," she complimented, making me grin at her. "But always remember, I can help myself too."

"That is now noted," I responded, receiving a smile from her. I closed the door for her and headed around the super car to get in myself. I opened the door and climbed into the vehicle, then put the key in ignition. I put my seatbelt on as the engine hummed to life, and I reversed out of the parking suddenly. Shifting gears, I accelerated in the parking lot, making Waterfall shriek playing. I soon made it out to the open road and we headed off to our destination.

"Do you always do that?" the SeaWing Princess asked me, and I grinned at her.

"Only when you're around, just to see the type of reaction I get from you, m'lady (If you don't know that phrase, you haven't seen HTTYD 2)," I responded, getting a playful punch from her. "We should get there in a few minutes." I stepped on the gas, and the car shot forward, going around one hundred miles per hour on a small street. I took a quick glance at Waterfall, who had a unsure look on her face.

"You're crazy, you know that," she told me.

"I thought you already knew," I responded, giving her an amused look.

"I do, just making sure you were aware, too." I laughed at that as we closed in on our destination. I slowed the vehicle down and made a right on the intersection. As soon as I made the turn, I began to accelerate again.

"Does your aunt still hate me?" I looked at Waterfall, and she gave me a confused and surprised look.

"What?"

"You know, um... Queen Coral," I said awkwardly. She finally remembered the whole situation and mouthed a silent "oh".

"Uh, kind of?" she answered sheepishly. I looked at her, not believing her answer in the slightest.

"She wants to kill me," I finally theorized.

"Couldn't put it better myself," she responded, then giggled as I gave her skeptic look. "Anyways, where are we going?"

"I told you," I responded, "it's a surprise." I took a hard left at the next intersection, making Waterfall yell in surprise.

"Can you stop doing that!" Waterfall demanded, giving me a glare. Since the SeaWing Princess was one of the only dragons who scared, I complied to her order and slowed down the car. "Well, for at least the time I'm in the car."

"Aw," I said in mocked disappointment, "but it's more fun when I'm able to get a reaction out of you." She rolled her eyes at me, and I laughed. This was going to be a fun night.

"Well, we are here!" I announced to her, driving into the parking lot in front of a seafood restaurant. As I found a parking spot, I heard her let out a small gasp in surprise.

"This is my favorite restaurant!" she told me. She gave me a hug just as I parked the sports car and turned off the ignition.

"I wanted this to be a special night," I said to her, giving me a kiss on the cheek. "This is where I am going to tell you everything about me so nothing can ever separate us, again." I gave her a smile as we held talons in the car, and she returned the gaze. After a few seconds, I got out of the car and circled around the vehicle to open the passenger door for Waterfall. She nodded in thanks and got out, with me closing the door behind her. I locked the car and we walked towards the restaurant.

"How did you know this was my favorite place?" she asked me curiously.

"Your brother suggested this place," I answered truthfully, giving her a sheepish look. I placed my wing around her as we headed in, where we asked for a table. The host gave us a nod, followed by a smile, and led us to our seats. As we walked, I scanned around the room.

The place was nicely decorated; the tables made out of polished wood and the seats were cushioned, giving the visitor the most comfort. One of the colors I saw a lot of was bright blue, followed by dark green stripes circling the inside of the restaurant. The smell of cooked and raw fish was strong, unfortunately for me. With every breath I took in, I thought of how Waterfall wasn't disgusted or disturbed by this, but I guessed it was a SeaWing thing.

"Here we are," the host told us with a gleeful smile. We were sitting at a booth with blue and green leather seats on either side of the table. The size of the section was meant for two dragons; perfect for the both of us. We both sat down and smiled at each other for a moment, before Waterfall looked at the menu. I did the same thing, but I wasn't really in the mood to eat.

This is going to be fun, I thought cheerfully as a waiter came up to the us and asked for what drinks we were getting. We both ordered water and the waiter nodded and walked away to get our drinks.

"Now, tell me everything about what I need to know," Waterfall announced to me, and I nodded in agreement. Grabbing her talons, I stared right into her beautiful emerald green eyes and started.

"Let me begin at the time I started out my channel..."

(Celsius's POV)

I was grabbing my gear out of my SUV, thinking nervously about tonight. It was the semi-finals of our hockey season, our second biggest game, and I could lead our team to victory. According to my teammates, it was the first time two freshmen, Winter and I, ever started in a hockey game. We were both making history, but unfortunately for Winter, his parents like a warrior, not a sports player.

The thought of how intense his parents were to him made me sorry for him. Though, it's not uncommon for that to happen. Many IceWing parents have disowned their dragonets if they disappoint their mother and father. I was lucky not to have parents like those.

Grabbing my gear from out of the car, I closed the trunk and locked the vehicle. The main reason why was because I didn't want it stolen; it was a long drive back to the Jade Mountain from the stadium we were playing at. It was home to one of the best hockey teams in Pyrrhia (Too lazy and too behind to think of a name, if you want to name the team, put it the reviews). It's been my dream since I was a dragonet to play here.

As I walked through the parking lot to the team entrance, I saw a couple of dragonesses talking. One of them, a IceWing, saw me and then started chatting with her friends as she pointed at me. The other two looked my way, too, and smiled at me. I just gave them a toothy smile and kept on walking. There were several dragons in the parking lot, and I noticed that some of them were waiting for something.

That's weird, I thought, until I realized what they were waiting for. A bus with the words "IceFreeze Academy" pulled up by the stadium and the groups of diverse dragons started to cheer as the players walked out. I rolled my eyes at the thought that those hockey players were being treated like celebrities; it made me cringe.

I walked quicker and soon enough, I was at my team's entrance. I went ahead and entered the stadium, only to be greeted by our coach.

"Locker room is on your right," he told me as he gave me a slap on the back. "Also, play hard out there." I nodded in thanks and made a right, entering the locker room with about seven of my teammates, Winter included, who stared at me as I walked in.

"Finally showed up?" he said sarcastically, but didn't smile or show any emotion. Winter wasn't the typical dragon to have the cheeriest attitude.

"I caught up watching the 'superstars' of IceFreeze Academy make there way off the bus," I responded. "They don't look very threatening."

"Keep that in mind when we play," Winter told me as he put jade colored paint on his snout. "Coach wants us to paint on." He handed me the pad of jade paint, and set it to the side.

"I'll do that after I get my gear on," I said to him, and he just shrugged, not having a care in the world.

I set my bag on the ground and opened it up, revealing my skates, hockey stick, helmet, etc, which were all the color jade. Grabbing my stick, I set it on the ground and took out of skates, which had protection covers on the bottom of them. I strapped them on my back claws and tightened them. As soon as I finished that, I grabbed my helmet, but didn't put it on yet. The next thing I knew, I was grabbing the pad of paint and putting on Jade colored lines along my snout. The last thing I did after that was put on my jersey, which had the number 55.

"Okay, I'm going to do a couple practice shots," I told Winter, who nodded and grabbed helmet. We both practiced together because no one else could keep up with us.

We walked out of the locker room and into the stone, grey hallway. After a few minutes of talking about our lives, we finally made it to the hockey rink, where the chill of the ice welcomed me with a nice feeling. This is where I belonged, on the rink, where I could play dangerous and fun and the same time. This was were I could knock the utter shit out of other players and get away with it. I smiled as I thought of running through one of those smug IceWings on the opposing team.

I was knocked out of my thoughts as I heard shrill cheering from behind me. Winter must've heard it too, because we both looked back and saw several dragons cheering at us, both male and female. To my surprise, Winter actually smiled to them and waved, and I did the same. After we did this, I saw an SandWing give me a thumbs up and a grin, and I gave him a quick nod. The both of us then turned our backs to them and made our way onto the rink. I placed my helmet on my head and took the protection pads off my skates. I skated over to our bench and threw them on the grab, then grabbed a puck.

"You ready yet?" Winter called to me, holding his stick on his shoulder. "Or do you need a break?" I rolled my eyes as I dropped the puck on the ice and hit to the IceWing, who intercepted the object with ease.

"Hey! Pass it back!" I yelled to him, and he hit the puck right back to me. As soon as I received the puck, I pushed my legs to get momentum and pushed off, rushing towards the goal. Winter did the same and I passed it to him. He intercepted it with little strength, and and pushed it along with him. My legs pumped my icy, blue blood as my speed increased. I turned my head to Winter, who brought his stick back and slammed it into the black circle. It shot across to me as I kept on accelerating forward. I was twelve yards away from the goal, and with one last surge of strength, I slammed the puck towards the goal and scored a fake goal.

"Great shot!" I heard a SkyWing yell from the seats, followed by more cheers. I smiled at the thought of all the dragons coming out to support a game I thought only IceWings, took seriously. Winter got the hockey puck from the goal and we continued to practice, getting prepared for the big game ahead of us.

(Waterfall's POV)

"Wow... ," I managed to say, looking at Galactic surprised. He gave me a grin as I still processed his high school life: the time where I completely ignored him. The thought made me feel guilty, even though he told not to worry about it. I tried to argue that I could make it up to him, but he said that in was important to have a good reputation, which he didn't have. "Well, that must've been pretty, uh, fun?"

He chuckled at the response, which made my heart flutter and smile grow wider. He grabbed my talons with his grasp as he looked into my eyes, which made my heart flutter more. Then, unexpectedly, he began to lean in, and I did the same. As we got closer, I began to close my eyes. I felt his breath hit my scales, but right before we kissed, his phone went off, making us both jump. He pulled back and I did the same, my cheeks burning. He grabbed his phone off the table and looked at it, then his eyes lit up in panic.

"We gotta go," he suddenly said, and I looked at him, perplexed. "Celsius's game starts in twenty minutes. He's gonna kill me." He took his wallet and placed a hundred on the table, then grabbed my claw, giving me a "come" gesture. I nodded to him and got out of the booth. He began to lead me out of the restaurant and the host told us to have a good night. Next thing I knew, we were running out to his car. Once he saw it, he unlocked it and got in a hurry. I was barely in the car when the engine hummed to life.

"Galactic," I said to him, but he was frantically shifting the drivetrain. I tried to talk to him, but he still ignored me as he continued to frantically try to reverse the car.

My patience wore thin with him, so I grabbed his shoulders, and he looked at me, but I wasn't done yet. I pulled him to me and pressed my snout against his, our lips locking. We did this for a few seconds, and I pulled away, with him staring at me, stunned.

"I need you to calm down," I told him sternly. "For one, I don't want to die tonight. Second, this means I won't be able to see my friends again, and I won't be able to spend anytime with you if I'm dead." I kissed him one more time, before he finally came back to normal, and his goofy smile came back to Pyrhhia. His claws began to operate the super car properly and we were on our way to Celsius's game, ready to cheer him on.

FINALLY, I'M $*$# %* DONE WITH THIS CHAPTER! $%^ YEAH!

Heh. Sorry.

Anyways, I hope you guys do enjoy this chapter. I sincerely apologize for not updating in the past two weeks, but it's only one of two times I get to see my grandparents and extended family in the Lone Star State. I hope you guys understand I will see you soon.

(Note: Since I am now alternating between the two WoF fan fictions. I will be typing a chapter one "Born to Protect")
