Sorry for no uploads...School kept me busy.

"WHAT?"Carmillow nearly fell off the net, and then realized that she couldn't fall off a net. "How do you know my name?"

"Bad tempered nightwing came through the rainforest and told us to expect you." He said cheerfully. "We tranquilized him and dumped him at the outskirts of the rainforest."

"Was he a seer?" She asked.

"Probably!" he responded. "You know those 'awesome powers' they're always bragging about."

Carmillow barked a laugh. "True."

"Where are you taking me?"

To this month's rainwing queen, of course. She'll decide what to do with you. "

This month's? Carmillow thought.

Suddenly, Carmillow spotted hammocks and platforms.

"Looks like we've reached the outskirts!" one of the Rainwings cheerfully declared.

"Do rainwings live in…hammocks?" she asked.

The dragon laughed. "Of course not silly! Those are for our sun time!"

"Sun…time?"

"It's a time of day where when the sun is fullest. We take that time to sleep, since sleeping gives us half of our energy!"

Carmillow blinked. "Wow…I never knew that…"

"Look!" suddenly said one of the rainwings."It's the Queen's tree house!"

Carmillow found himself dropped onto the platform of the tree house.

"OW!" she roared. "THAT WASN'T NICE!"

"Oops, sorry." Said one of the Rainwings without looking sorry at all.

"Maybe next time we should use a hammock." Suggested a Rainwing.

"Okay, sure." Replied another Rainwing, who appeared to be the leader of the group.

The other rainwings unraveled a knot that held the net together.

"Why did you have to tranquilize me and dump me in a net anyway?" Carmillow asked.

"It makes it easier to talk to dragons from other tribes." The formerly bright pink dragon explained. "Some dragons, like that bad tempered nightwing that came through, attack us. So, we tranquilize them and try to talk to them while they're still a bit woozy. If they still insist on fighting back, we tranquilize them again and dump them somewhere random."

Carmillow nodded along like she knew what he was saying, but in reality she was very confused.

Why would someone attack a tribe like the rainwings? They seem peaceful enough, despite the fact that they tranquilized me and captured me in a net.

"I'm Jambu, by the way." Said the now bright pink again dragon, interrupting her train of thought. "The mild looking one is Forest, that thoughtful looking one is Leaf, and that guy over there who dumped you on the platform is coconut."

"Hmm?"He looked up. "I SAID I was sorry."

"He's not too bright, if you know what I mean." Jambu whispered to Carmillow, although his whisper sounded like the average roar.

Coconut decided not to notice this.

Or is he actually so dull, he didn't even notice what Jambu whisper/roared? HMMMMMM.

"Oh, look. It's our turn."Said Forest.

Our turn? I guess I noticed a line leading to the entrance, but I know it usually takes months to get a private audience with the Queen Moorhen, unless you're a high ranked official. A lot of things are different here in the rainforest.

As they entered the tree house, she noticed that it had almost no decoration besides a few flowers. At the center, there was a throne with a rainwing on it. She was stroking a sloth on her shoulder.

At this point, Carmillow was not surprised that rainwings had pet sloths.

"Ooh, you're new. "Said the queen.

"Queen Magnificent, we found this dragon at the outskirts of our kingdom." Announced Jambu." We present her to you so that you may decide what to do with her. "

"That sounds like a lot of work."Magnificent said, her wings drooping. "Oh well, you are welcome to stay here at the rainforest. Or you could leave. I don't care. NEXT!"

As Carmillow was bustled and pushed out of the tree house, she thought. Should I stay here? Or should I leave? The rainwings seem mild enough. They probably won't bully me like Rain did.

"Anyway, do you want a hammock? You must be exhausted after flying here. Oh wait, I forgot, you can't sleep." Jambu shuddered. "What's it like? Not sleeping, I mean."

"I don't know. I'm used to it because I've lived with it all my life." Replied Carmillow.

"Don't you ever get grumpy?" Jambu asked. "Without our sun time, Rainwings can get very grumpy."

"Well, no, but sometimes I wonder how it's like sleeping." Carmillow said.

"We had a rainwing once who couldn't sleep. He could only sleep for less than an hour, and always stayed a dull green color. Poor Chameleon. He always got bullied by everyone." Said Jambu." He was sooooooo angry when Exquisite banished him."

Okayyyyyyy, so much for the rainwings-don't-bully-each other theory.

"What are you going to do now, since you're allowed to do anything?"Questioned Jambu as he used his tail to swing from branch to branch.

"I guess I'll stay." responded Carmillow."Maybe make a hut. The rainforest seems nice enough, and I really don't have any other place to go."

"Great!"Said Jambu.

"Also….could you teach me that tail swinging thing?"She asked."It seems helpful for getting around.

"Sure!" enthusiastically exclaimed Jambu. "First you need to curve your tail like this….."

As the two dragons laughed and swung, and fell, they had no idea that someone was watching them.
