Chapter 2: A New Form
Five years had passed since Hiro left for the Blue Star. Every now and then, we had visits from Ronfar, Mauri, Lemina, Ramus, Jean, and Leo. None of them really changed. Lemina and Ramus got married and Ronfar and Mauri had a child named Inoru, but, those were the only big changes, other than appearances. But still no Hiro. That was, until one day while I was sitting on the roof of Taben's Peak when the Star Dragon, Hoshi, had appeared before me.
"WAAH!" I screamed when the giant, green, spiked Dragon appeared.
"No need to be afraid Red Dragon. It's just me, Hoshi."
I blinked and calmed down. When I took a good look at the ancient Dragon, I noticed he was bigger than Nall. The first time I saw him, I wasn't really paying attention. I was watching Hiro and too worried about him going to the Blue Star and leaving me alone. So, I looked at the flooring beneath Hoshi and it looked kinda bent.
"You scared me! And what you NEED to do, is change into a smaller form so you don't break the freaking roof!"
He laughed and changed into a human form. His human form was a tall, muscular man wearing green, crystal-like armor. He had long lime green hair and menacing, yet friendly, green eyes.
"Are you happy now? Anyway, I was sent by Hiro-"
"Hiro!?" I exclaimed, "what did he say?!"
"Yes..." he said, "he sent me to tell his friends that him and Lucia will return tonight for a visit-"
I squealed in delight when he told me. Hoshi narrowed his eyes at me.
"I only know of you and Nall so you have to tell his other friends. He said to meet him at the Magic Guild. Have a nice day..."
Hoshi disappeared. As soon as he was gone, I squealed again, darted into Nall's room and latched myself onto his arm with my claws, causing him to yelp in shock. I had never been so happy in my entire life.
"HIRO'S COMING BACK!!!" I screamed, looking up at him.
He growled, grabbed me by my wings, and took me off of his arm, wincing as my claws ripped through his skin. I was confused because he looked sorta mad.
"Sure he is...and so is Alex," he said sarcastically.
I knew what he meant by that. Alex was never coming back, and that's what he was implying about Hiro. In other words, he didn't believe that Hiro was coming back and felt that he was dead to us. Even though he had said he was sure Hiro would return five years ago, Nall changed his mind after three long years. He tried to be happy, for my sake, but I knew that he didn't believe that anymore. I couldn't blame him, but I did. I smiled at him, despite the fact he didn't share my enthusiasm. My dreams were finally coming true!
"Hoshi just told me that Hiro...a-and Lucia...were coming to visit!"
He looked me over, still sceptical.
"This wasn't a dream?"
"No!!"
He smiled and let me go. I cheerfully flew in circles around him.
"Good. I'm glad..." he said.
I flew out to tell the kids my wonderful, happy news. They were so glad to hear that two of their rolemodels were coming over. The only one who was not-so-happy about the situation was Nall. Then, an idea suddenly popped into my head. I flew back into Nall's room. He was sitting on his chair with his eyes closed, obviously thinking about something, when I came in and sat on the armrest. But he didn't notice me.
'He's gotten so serious all of a sudden. I wonder why...well, I guess I'll have to get him out of his little train of thought!' I thought as I stared up at him.
I opened my mouth and shot a stream of fire at his face. It definately got him to pay attention. He jumped up and let out a cry of pain as I took him by surprise. He glared at me.
"Whaddaya want!!" he snapped.
"I wanted to ask you a question you jerk!"
He folded his arms over his chest and continued his glare.
"What?"
"Can you show me how to change into a human?" I asked, "I want to show Hiro that I can be as pretty as Lucia!"
Nall turned away and closed his eyes again, his eyebrows furrowing as he thought of a reply. I heard him grumble something about "it'll make her happy" but the rest was inaudible. I put my paws on his shoulders and shook him.
"Pretty please!?" I pleaded.
Finally, he sighed and looked at me again.
"Alright. I'll show you how. But I hope you know, that WON'T make him leave Lucia for you so you can stop daydreaming about that now."
'Even when he's being nice he's being a jerk!!' I thought.
But I decided against burning him this time and, celebrated instead. I gave him a small lick on his cheek, making him blush.
"Thank you Nall! You're the best!"
He smiled and stood up.
"You're welcome. I'll go get Jean and Lemina. They're girls so they can help you go shopping and stuff...for stuff... Take care of the kids. I'll be gone for a bit."
Nall teleported and was gone. So I went to the kids, who was still in the kitchen celebrating.
"So, what do you guys like so much about Hiro anyway?" I asked them.
"Because he's a hero!" one exclaimed.
"He's dreamy..." a little girl sighed.
Several dreamy little sighs followed in agreement.
"He's cool!"
"Hiro's the only one that could EVER be any match for Nall!" a boy said.
"He might even be able to beat Nall in a sword fight!"
"What?" I asked.
Of course I knew that Hiro could never beat Nall. Nall was a Dragon for one. And two, Nall had over ten centuries of fighting experience while Hiro only had about six years. Before that he always used a boomerang.
"Yeah, Nall's a little jealous of Hiro too. But that's all I could get out of him. He wouldn't tell me why though."
The little boy's comment shocked me.
'Nall jealous of Hiro? But why?' I thought.
This was something I couldn't even fathom, although it made sense. Why else would Nall be so cheerful after Hiro left? But, I still couldn't understand why. Suddenly, Nall appeared in the middle of the children circle with Jean and Lemina. But with them were several extras, Ronfar, Mauri, Inoru, and Leo. He didn't say he was going to Raculi to get them too.
"I'm back!" he said, "okay , Jean, Lemina, and Mauri are going shopping with you in Meribia. Me, Ronfar, and Leo will get things ready here."
I nodded, still in shock from the boy's comment. Inoru tugged on Ronfar's shirt.
"Yes?"
"Can I go play with the Dragon Kids?" Inoru asked.
Ronfar smiled and nodded. Inoru ran to play with the Dragon Kids. He was about 3 years old and looked a lot like Ronfar with long, blue hair and a horn. He wore a white T-shirt, tan capris, and a red bandana around his head. Anyway, that's when, Jean snatched me up from my hovering position and carried me out.
"We're borrowing the Dragonship Destiny, okay Leo?"
"W-what? Do you even know how to drive it?!"
"Of course!" Lemina said waving him off with her hand.
"T-take care of my baby!" I heard him call out.
We got on the Destiny and immediately set off for Meribia, with Jean steering. Meribia was the best place in all of Lunar to go shopping at. I was on the deck, watching the passing landscapes, when Lemina came up behind me. She tapped me and stood beside me.
"Oh...hey Lemina..."
"What's up? You sound mega-bummed...I thought you would be happy about Hiro coming back and getting a human form."
"I was just thinking about something..."
"Hey, you're actually being quiet!" Lemina teased.
"Oh, shut up."
"Whatcha thinking about anyway?"
"Well, I want to know whether I will look like a little kid or not...and I wanna know why Nall would be jealous of Hiro...and I wanna know if Hiro still cares about me..."
Lemina cupped her chin with her hand in thought. Then, after about ten seconds, she smiled at me.
"I don't know whether you'll look like a kid or not...I know why Nall's jealous of Hiro but I think you should figure it out yourself, it's more fun that way....and of course Hiro still cares about you! If he didn't, why would he be coming back?"
I frowned for a second, then smiled.
"Thanks...for answering one out of three..."
"Welcome! But...I'm sure you'll make a beautiful human!"
The Destiny came to a sudden hault throwing me and Lemina to the floor. Mauri came up from below, really confused and disfigured. Her hair was messy showing that she was probably brushing it when the ship came to a sudden hault.
"What's going on!?" she exclaimed as we got up.
"We're here!" Jean said.
We glared at the emerald-haired dancer/ninja as she laughed.
"Sorry about the bumpy stop but I couldn't find the breaks! I almost crashed into Meribia! Ha ha!" she laughed. Then she saw we weren't laughing with her, "ha...ahem! Anyway, we're here so let's go."
I landed on Lemina's shoulder as we all got out and went into the Meribian marketplace. The girls squealed as they saw various dresses that appealed to them. I, on the other hand, remained quiet for once.
'I don't even know if I'll look like a woman or a kid. How am I supposed to shop for clothes if I don't know my size?' I thought.
But, Jean interrupted my train of thought and she poked me.
"How big will you be?" Jean asked me.
"That's the problem, we don't know," Lemina answered for me.
"Well, to solve that, we could just buy her clothes for a child and for an adult and when she changes, just put her in the ones that fit..." Mauri said.
We looked at her. She blushed and looked down, to avoid our stares.
"That's a mega-cool idea Mauri!!"
"You always know how to solve things!" I said happily, "so...should we look at the children's clothes or the women's clothes first?"
"I say we look in the women's. I have some stuff I wanna get too you know!" Lemina said.
"Okay then, women's it is!"
So we went into the women's section. It had a lot of pretty clothes and I wanted them all. But, they said I had to start off with only one outfit. While Lemina and Jean were looking through a rack of pants, I saw a really pretty dress. It was one of those traditional dresses from a long time ago in a place called China on the Blue Star. A red cheongsam with silver dragons on it (they reminded me of Nall). It was short with two splits on the sides. It was beautiful. I flew over to it, grabbed it off the rack with my teeth, and struggled to fly it to Jean and Lemina to show them.
"Jean! Lemina!" I screamed with the hanger in my mouth.
They turned around and took the dress from me to relieve the stress. Jean and Lemina examined it.
"This is pretty!" Jean said.
"Yeah! I want it!" I exclaimed.
"Okeydokey. Now we have to find you panties and a bra..."
"What's a bra?" I asked.
"It's something very important to women...supposing you will be a women..."
Mauri came back with a pink bra and panties, as if on que.
"I think these would look cute on her. Especially if she has pink or red hair..."
We stared at her again, making her turn away.
"Well...that saved some time, thanks Mauri! Now let's get to the children's clothes and choose something out of there."
This was the part I dreaded. I didn't want to even think that I would look like a kid. Hiro wouldn't think I was beautiful then. He would think of me as some little brat! I didn't want to imagine how I would look. Scrawny, ugly, just plain blah! Not to mention, Nall would treat me like a kid forever and ever. When we got to the kids part, I hurried and picked out blue, jean shorts and a red belly shirt.
"Why pick so fast Ruby?" Jean asked me.
"I don't want to think that I'll look like a kid..."
"Oh...well, even so I'm sure you'd make a cute kid!"
We paid for the articles of clothing, plus some extra things like makeup, wands, and other clothes for them, and went back to the Destiny. There, Jean hurriedly drove us back to Taben's Peak, knocking down and bumping into several rocks and trees on the way. We took the gondola back up to Nall's hideout and went into the room of one of the Dragon Kids.
"Ronfar, sweety! I missed you!" Mauri said.
"I missed you too sugarpie..."
Mauri hugged Ronfar in a greeting while Leo jokingly made a whipping motion and noise behind his back. While they laughed, I looked at the floor. There was a circle with a star in the middle of it. ((A/N: Basically, the Dragons in my stories ALWAYS use the star to change into their human form))
"Um...could we get down to business?" Nall asked.
The laughter died down. Nall smiled at me and pointed to the star.
"Okay...Ruby, sit right here...in the middle of the star."
I did as I was told and landed where he was pointing. He grabbed a robe and put it around me.
"Put your arms in the sleeves..."
"What's this for?"
"Uh...anyway...now close your eyes and concentrate on being a human..."
"Why'd you change the subject?" I asked in skeptism.
"It won't hurt...and I have some fish for you after you change!" he said, avoiding my question again.
But at the time, I was too distracted by the word fish to really pay any mind to him changing the subject again. Nall grinned at me and sat beside me.
"I'll be here...so just concentrate..."
I nodded and closed my eyes. Right before I closed my eyes, I could've swore I saw Nall's face turn a hint of pink. I pushed that out of my mind and began to think of a human form.
'I want a human form. But not just any human form...I want to be pretty. I want to look like an adult! Not a little kid! I want legs, skin, arms...and all that stuff...' I thought.
I imagined what my human form would look like as everyone was quiet around me. Short red hair, tanned skin, big red eyes, pretty, and a woman. Younger than Nall but older than 15. Suddenly, I could feel the bones in my body rearranging. It didn't hurt. It actually felt kinda nice. I felt myself become taller and the robe that hung on me as a baby Dragon began to fit more. I was still in a sitting position, but I could tell I was further off the ground. I felt cool air hit me. My fur wasn't there to shield me from it. When I finally stopped changing, I knew that I had my human form. When I opened my eyes, my first thought was to thank Nall. So that's what I did. I looked at him, who was still sitting beside me, and flung my arms around his neck.
"Wah!"
"I'm human!! Thank you!!"
"Uh..."
"Oh! Thank you so much!"
"Um..."
"This is so wonderful!! Thank you Nall! Thank you!!"
I looked up at him confused. He was as red as a tomato, his eyes were closed tightly, and he had stopped breathing. All of a sudden, he turned into his baby form in a puff of smoke and darted out of the room. I heard a door slam. That's when I finally I thought to look down at myself. When I looked down, I saw why Nall was blushing so deeply. The robe I had on partially covered my body. I yelped and pulled it around me tighter, covering myself completely. I glared at Ronfar and Leo. Leo, like Nall, had his eyes closed but Ronfar was staring contently at me, a goofy grin printed on his face.
"Mauri!! Get your husband!!" I screamed.
Mauri, Lemina, and Jean looked at Ronfar and growled at him. While Mauri grabbed, scolded, and threw him out, Lemina and Jean led Leo out. I sighed. I still felt so embarassed.
'I should have looked at myself BEFORE hugging Nall. Now he'll think I'm some kind of a idiot!'
"Hey Ruby, let's get some clothes on you girl!" Jean laughed.
Note: Heh heh heh...funny. Anyway, read and review! Let me know how I did on this chapter, 'kay? Remember, don't flame me or I'll be very ticked off. But...I would like for you to give me a contructive review. You know, a little more than "This is a great story, continue". Although, those are very apprieciated, all that really does is inflate my ego...ya know?

I looked up at him confused. He was as red as a tomato, his eyes were closed tightly, and he had stopped breathing. All of a sudden, he turned into his baby form in a puff of smoke and darted out of the room. I heard a door slam. That's when I finally I thought to look down at myself. When I looked down, I saw why Nall was blushing so deeply. The robe I had on partially covered my body. I yelped and pulled it around me tighter, covering myself completely. I glared at Ronfar and Leo. Leo, like Nall, had his eyes closed but Ronfar was staring contently at me, a goofy grin printed on his face.
"Mauri!! Get your husband!!" I screamed.
Mauri, Lemina, and Jean looked at Ronfar and growled at him. While Mauri grabbed, scolded, and threw him out, Lemina and Jean led Leo out. I sighed. I still felt so embarassed.
'I should have looked at myself BEFORE hugging Nall. Now he'll think I'm some kind of a idiot!'
"Hey Ruby, let's get some clothes on you girl!" Jean laughed.
Note: Heh heh heh...funny. Anyway, read and review! Let me know how I did on this chapter, 'kay? Remember, don't flame me or I'll be very ticked off. But...I would like for you to give me a contructive review. You know, a little more than "This is a great story, continue". Although, those are very apprieciated, all that really does is inflate my ego...ya know?
