Friends Make You Stronger
Ariaelle was aware that her dragon side was in public view as Karin and her posse were shivering in fear but Fiona was in awe along with Hinata and Sakura but she was smiling.
"She has a secret that she hides from other kids like me.
Maybe we're not that different after all.
I hope Karin and her posse are okay.
I know they were being mean but didn't deserve this." the princess thought.
Hinata watched as bright light surrounded Fiona as she transformed into her ogre form. As well as becoming her ogre form at night, she could become it at will but only Sakura knew this.
"What're you thinking?" the blonde haired kunochi asked her team mate.
"I'm going to try and reason with Ariaelle so Karin and her posse don't end up roasted or worse." Fiona answered bravely as she walked towards where Ariaelle along with Karin and her posse were but they were frozen to the spot in fear.
"Why don't you run away?
If you don't, she could hurt you." the ogress said.
Karin was shocked by this.
"W-Why're you helping us?" she asked Fiona.
"I know this seems insane but I can't let you get hurt by Ariaelle because she's angry." the ogress answered as Ariaelle was mad as Karin and her posse ran off.
"How dare you help them?
They don't care about kids like us!
They hate us and make us feel like losers.
Don't you want them to pay?" Ariaelle roared as fire burst from her mouth but burned Fiona's hand.
She flinched a little but wasn't giving up.
"I know they hurt us but doing this makes you no better than them.
Just calm down!" Fiona roared as she was in demon form.
Ariaelle then fell to the ground as her dragon side vanished as Fiona put her on the ground gently.
Hinata smiled at her friend as the kids around them cheered as Karin scowled at Fiona angrily as she and her posse ran off towards the arcade but Sakura joined Fiona along with Hinata.
"You were awesome!
What's wrong?" she asked her as she became human again.
Fiona had seen Ariaelle leave the mall.
She hoped she would be okay.......
Lillian saw Fiona was very quiet as she returned from the mall but saw the burn on Fiona's hand and wondered what had happened.
"It's nothing Mom." she answered as she went upstairs.
Lillian had a feeling it was something to do with the mall but hoped she would be okay but Harold wanted to talk to his wife about Fiona being at Konoha High and sometimes was worried about her but was worried about his daughter but seeing the burn on Fiona's hand made him angry and wanted to talk to her about Fiona being there.
"Harold you know we can't take Fiona away from Konoha High.
She really likes it there and is doing well but making her transfer will hurt her.
I don't want to do that." Lillian said as Harold was mad but cooled down.
It was dinner time as Fiona entered the dining room in ogre form.
He sighed as he began to calm down.
He needed time to think.
Ariaelle was nervous as she walked the halls of Konoha High the next day as other kids gave her nervous glances.
The young human and dragon girl was nervous as Karin looked at her angrily but Fiona wasn't like that.
She had a feeling Ariaelle was lonely and used to being on her own as she knew how it felt to be alone and knew how cruel other kids could be to those who were different and not like the social status quo as she saw her go into Home Room.
"It's the dragon girl!
She's more of a freak than Princes Freaky!" Ariaelle heard other kids whisper as she passed them.
It hurt her inside as she sat down at her desk in the back of the room.
She hoped that somebody would want to be her friend and not be afraid of her dragon side.
"Just like me." Fiona thought as she saw how sad Ariaelle was.
Fiona was in line at the lunch room with her tray and was getting lunch but saw Ariaelle being bothered by Karin and her posse.
It made her mad especially since after what had happened at the mall after she had gotten angry but right now Ariaelle was crying and it angered the young princess as she made a decision as she went over there to help Ariaelle.
"Why defend her ogre freak?
Don't you remember what she did at the mall?" the girl said but Fiona kicked her.
That surprised everybody especially Karin.
"You just made a mistake!" Karin said as she and her posse left them.
But Ariaelle was surprised that Fiona had helped her as the princess smiled nervously.
"T-Thanks but why did you help me?
I hurt you in the mall the other day when you were trying to help me." Ariaelle said shyly.
"That wasn't your fault Ariaelle.
It was Karin's for getting you mad and unleashing your dragon side.
Besides I know how it feels to be different.
I'm an ogre at night but can become it at will." she said as Ariaelle smiled at her.
"You really want to be my friend?" Ariaelle asked her.
Fiona nodded in reply as Ariaelle hugged her.
Snow smiled seeing that.
"I'm so proud of you Fi-Fi." she thought leaving Konoha High.......
