As you lay on your bed with your eyes closed enjoying a serene moment you hear the rush of hoofsteps growing louder and louder as they draw nearer to your room. You decide to sit up knowing full well you're about to get involved somehow. It's what always seems to happen anyways.

"I'M FINE. GO AWAY." The voice currently outside your door sounded angry with a tone of pleading to it, either way you know exactly who it belonged too.

"Is that you Spitfire?" You calmly ask, raising your claws to your head in mock tiredness. "You better have a good reason for being here this tim-" Your words are cut short as an angry Spitfire makes her way into your room. Backwards. While shouting at some medically clad ponies standing at the other side of your door.

After seeing these professional looking ponies you can't help but worry. You immediately get up and go over to them. Very few ponies dared to enter your room for some reason. "What's going on? Can I help you?" You ask politely, though by the looks on the ponies faces you could guess otherwise. "Is Spitfire in trouble or is she making trouble?"

"HEY! I'M RIGHT HERE." Shouts the golden pegasus from behind. A quick glance in her direction show that she's taken up residence on your bed looking rather dejected.

You turn back to the medical staff and cock your head, re-asking the question without opening your beak. "Ehmm... We're truly sorry Sir Lazuli, we... we didn't know this was your room, we were just trying to keep track of Spitfire." You can smell their fear already and sigh loudly to yourself. You've almost had it with all these scardy ponies.

"Just tell me what's wrong." You say bluntly.

"It's Spitfire's wing Sir."

Oh... This again.

"She hasn't been for a check up in over a week. Her wing was badly damaged and she keeps making things worse by trying to fly. We tried banning her from flying but that hasn't stopped her, we tried putting her wing in a cast, she took it off, we even wanted to keep her at the infirmary but that simply didn't end all too well."

Ah yes.. you remember all those failed attempts at medicine. You remember her trying to fly the week after she returned with her broken wing, only to constantly crash. You remember her complaining about her cast being too itchy and her chewing it off. Good times. "Okay okay, you guys go back to the infirmary, I'll deal with Spitfire."

They both smile towards you cautiously. "Yes Sir." "Thank you Sir."

With that said they both leave. You turn around only for your gaze to meet hers. Her look says it all. "Spitfire.... you know you can't be doing all this running and hiding from the doctors."

"I can, and I will." She states bluntly, huffing in place.

"No, you won't, even if I have to drag you down to them myself."

"WHAT? You're bluffing." You shake you head in response. "You're supposed to be my friend!"

"Exactly!"

After saying that you see panic written all over her face. "No.. you can't.. no really, you can't. Please!"

That surprises you. Spitfire was too bold and stubborn to say something like that. "It's only a simple examination Spitfire, I highly doubt they'll have you longer than ten minutes." She just looks at you pleadingly. "Come on Spitfire, it's for your own good. It's not like it'll be painful or anything. Just think of it like a massage or something."

She responds with complete silence. You have to admit, this isn't like the Spitfire you know all too well, you would've expected her to make a run for it by now. Thinking about that possibility reminds you to stand in the doorway. "I'm sorry but unless you've got a good excuse not to go for a simple wing examination, I'll drag you there by the tail."

You can almost see her thoughts she's thinking so hard, then out of the blue she speaks up. "Okay."

"Okay? Okay you're going, or okay you've got an excuse?"

"Okay I'll tell you why I can't go. But you have to promise me not to tell anypony else."

Something strange was going on with Spitfire and you wanted to know what, and if you could help. "I can't promise that, but I need to know what's going on with you."

"No, you don't understand Lazuli. If you tell anypony, Spitfire will fire me, then I wouldn't have a job, and no money means I'll loose my home and.. and..." She looks like she's about to cry before you stop her with a claw to her lips.

"Quick question. How will Spitfire fire you? You ARE Spitfire... right?"

The pony infront of you, who looks, smells, and sounds just like Spitfire replies with a shake of it's head. You're about to argue that she looks very much like Spitfire but before you could get a word out your beak, a green fire consumes Spitfire and replaces her with a chitinous changeling.

This has to be the first time you've seen a changeling up close. While your birdy brain struggles to come to terms with what just happens your jaw drops as you gasp. "WOAH"

"Waa? Y..You're not going to threaten or attack me?" The changeling lowers its stance practically cowering below you.

You snap out of your trance and quickly get serious. "Depends. Are you here to harm somepony, directly or indirectly?" You talk slowly and calmly, but in the back of your mind you've never been so excited to meet a changeling. Those infamous creatures that can change into anything they like. Even the drones can both use magic and fly, and their queen? She was heard to have powers on par with Celestia herself. You still remember that day you were called out to help combating the Canterlot invasion, however by the time you had arrived, there was not a changeling to be found.

"No... no.. I'm... Wow. This is... something." The changeling says seemingly distracted. "You're like... the first pony- I mean gryphon to not outright insult me or attempt to harm me." You can see a smile form on it's face. It stands back up properly, thought it doesn't seem like it due to his or her frame being somewhat smaller than a ponies let alone a gryphons.

Getting back to the point, you weren't letting this changeling go until you had answers, but you don't need to be rude or even violent for them. Besides, this changeling seems to want to co-operate. Violence was always good to avoid if possible. The unidentified changeling talks in a much more calm, less frightened tone, your less aggressive approach to information gathering clearly getting to him or her. "Okay, sorry. I was getting a bit off topic. No, I'm not here to harm anypony. Anything else you want to ask me?"

The changeling clearly wants you to take the lead in the interrogation, you've got many questions, some casual and some professional but you better start with the most important. "So, if you're not Spitfire, where is she? Is she safe?"

"Yeah, she's fine. She's at her condo at the edge of Cloudsdal-"

"I know where her condo is." You interrupt.

"Right, right. Well, I guess you want to know why I'm pretending to be Spitfire then?" You nod. "Well.. she's my boss. After the failed invasion of Canterlot some time ago, many of us changelings have been trying to fit into your society peacefully. Myself included. A long story short, Spitfire found me and asked if I wanted to work for her, naturally I said yes. My job is simple, I just BE Spitfire when she doesn't want to. Boring meetings, watching recruits fly laps, writing reports, she taught me how to do it all. I can't perform infront of a large audience though, I'm not a good flier like Spitfire, besides I get too nervous."

"That's quite the story. So what you're saying is Spitfire has been using you to get extra time off?"

"Yes. Basically." You're not sure to be impressed or disappointed.

"So what's your name changeling?" Your question surprises it.

"You... You want to know my name?"

"Sure. Why not?"

"Are you always this nice to strange creatures taking the place of your crush?"

"I try to be nice to everypony if I can.... HEY! I like her, but I don't like like her." The sudden statement of Spitfire being your crush seems to have collapsed your calm collective questioning.

"You can't fool me Lazuli, I'm a changeling. Love is a delicious meal for us." You sigh in response. "Don't worry, Spitfire is a lovely mare to have a crush on. I'll keep it secret between us. But listen, I wouldn't go talking to her right now, she needs to be alone. That's why I'm taking her place right now."

"I don't have a crush on Spitfire!" You try to argue but as you do, images of her soft golden butt and slender body fill your mind. As if the changeling knows exactly what you're thinking it just smiles and nods. Maybe you do.

"Wait, why does she need to be alone?" Your inquisitive nature takes a hold of your questioning.

"Mare problems. It's a private thing so, just don't go for awhile, she's fine though. I promise." You roll your eyes and agree. It's not like you need to see her anytime soon. She can have her private holiday.

It's not long before you get into an amazing conversation with the changeling about its life and everything interesting that seems to happen in Spitfire's place. Eventually you get the female drones name: Lucy. You can't help but think that's a very ordinary name for a changeling.

"If you can change into anypony, does that mean you can turn into, dunno, me?" Lucy smiles brightly, walks around you, slowly doing what looks like getting measurements, then in a burst of green flame replaces her little changeling body with a far larger gryphon one. One that looks like an exact copy of you.

"It's like looking in a mirror. You look brilliant!"

"Thanks, you're not too bad yourself." A brief moment of laughing is shared between you both.

"HEY LAZI? YOU IN HERE?" A new voice comes bursting into your room without so much as a warning. "Who you taking to in there- Oh."

Before Lucy can take another form Lightning Dust is in your room. Her head keeps moving from left to right: from one azure gryphon to the other. You stand dumbfounded not sure what to say or do. But before you could explain anything Lightning Dust happens to crack a simple remark. "It's just like a dream I had once."

You have to hold in your laughter. Lucy doesn't do so well and ends up giggling.

"I'm not dreaming am I? This isn't some crazy fetish thing where you both take me and ravage at the same time. Is it?"

Heh. Lightning Dust has quite the imagination. "No Dust, this... this is real. Why don't you take a seat? Take a seat. Right over there."

This is going to take awhile to explain.

"Oh, well that's interesting. I wish I had a personal changeling. You don't feel like working for me do you Lucy?" Lightning Dust inquires with no real intent. She's taken things rather well considering. She's truly one chill pony.

"Anyways, Lazuli, Lightning Dust, I need to be going. Spitfire has one heck of a schedule." As the changeling is about to leave she changes back into Spitfire and turns to you. "Thanks for saving me from those doctors, if they got a hold of me, I'm sure they would've found out."

You nod. "I scratch your back, you scratch mine." Lucy looks at you confused. "It's a figure of speech. Anyways, if you ever need more help, you know where my room is." You both wave bye to changeling gone Spitfire before getting some alone time with Lightning Dust.

"So.... Dust. Why'd you want to see me?"

"I.. well, just wanted to let you know I won't be continuing my studies as a Wonderbolt recruit. I've not been accepted to advance my studies and I've got no reason to be doing the same thing over and over again until somepony changes her mind, which clearly isn't happening anytime soon. I guess Spitfire hasn't truly forgiven me for when I acted like a reckless jerk."

"Woah woah woah, slow down. You mean you're leaving the academy?"

"Yeah, got no reason to stay. I only came here to become a Wonderbolt, if that's impossible then, well- I'm going to pack up tonight and leave tomorrow. I just... I was fooled into thinking I had a second chance here."

"Don't say that Dust, I've heard Spitfire say your one of the best fliers she's seen." Though that could have been Lucy now that you think about it, but you better not say that. "I'm pretty sure you're better than most if not all the current recruits." You have seen her during flight practice many times while on duty, she's always ahead of everypony, always racing ahead with such ease and grace. Something as a gryphon you could never hope to do.

Maybe you'll pay Spitfire a visit after all. Lucy may have said not to, but you're sure she wouldn't mind taking a few minutes off her holiday to talk about Lightning Dusts future as a Wonderbolt. It is important after all. "Don't go just yet Dust, I'll have a word with Spitfire and find out why you've not been accepted for the next year program. Maybe it was just a clerical error or something, even I know how paperwork melts the brain."

"That'd be nice, but I'm pretty sure she made up her mind back when I was an ass. Do what you want, I'm still packing. Maybe I'll see you around?"

"You better keep in touch. It won't be nearly as much fun here without you. Are you really sure you don't want to stay just a little while longer?"

Dust just smiles and shakes her head aimlessly. Despite her best efforts to remain upbeat about her situation, deep down you know how heart broken she really is. You can only wonder what Spitfire's reason is, she must know Lightning Dust is an amazing flier, perfect to be a Wonderbolt. It's not easy to hide such raw talent.

So with that decided, you take the chance and leave your room before any more ponies decide to interrupt your day. Outside the fresh air is nice and cool and you can't help but take deep breaths and enjoy a few peaceful moments alone. You've never really had the chance to sit down for a few hours and relax since the incident with Spitfire and those syndicate ponies.

The flight to Spitfire's condo was short, Cloudsdale isn't exactly a big city despite it's large sprawling architecture. As you land outside her front door you take a moment to appreciate the design of her condo. It's unlike anything you'e seen before. A large silvery building adorned with columns of rare clouds. It's a great deal bigger than anypony would ever need. Either way you walk up to the door and knock- Hard to be sure she can hear you.

No answer.

You knock again, slightly harder.

Still no answer. This time you decide to open the door and shout her name inside. "SPITFIRE? YOU THERE?" A gentle thump can be heard from up stairs.

You look around before deciding to go in. This Lightning Dust business is kinda important and you want to get it sorted quickly before she can leave. You really don't want to Lightning Dust to leave. Not after becoming such good friends with her.

You take a look around the first room in Spitfire's condo. It's large and spacious with a few paintings on the walls and a lovely ornate looking staircase up to the next floor. You head up calling her name and just as you reach the top you hear a door open an a voice call out. "Lucy? Is that you?" It's Spitfire's voice and you head over towards it.

"Nope, it's me. Lazuli. Where are you?" You ask looking around at the top of the stairs. There are corridors, one to your left, and one to your right, both with more doors to rooms than should ever be allowed in a building. It takes a little while for you to notice only one door half open and you head on over.

"Lazuli? Wait. Stay where you are. Don't come in." her voice sounded a little distressed, but you obey her.

"Bad time? I have something important to talk about though." You're standing outside the half open door waiting for her response.

"Kinda. Just don't come in. Talk to me from there." You're not sure why but things feel rather... Strange.

"Are you okay in there?"

"I'm fine! Just, let me know what you want quickly, then go. I've got stuff I need to do. Important private stuff..." You ignore your gut feeling and decide to just get on with it.

"Right, well. You know how Lightning Dust isn't advancing her studies this year? Well, I thought I might be able to convince you otherwise. I think she'd make a really good team member with her set of skills. I know she can be a little irresponsible but she's been improving so much. Even I have been noticing her flying abilities. So if there's anything I-"

"That's not it. I KNOW her skills are amazing. I've not seen a flier like her for.. well.. ever. She's great to teach and fun to race with. However. The problem isn't her skills, but her social abilities. According to her classmates she's been bullying them, I had thought she had stopped that attitude but apparently I was wrong."

That doesn't sound right. Lightning Dust is anything but a bully.

"I've personally learnt that being a Wonderbolt is only half about flying skills. The other is being social and presentable to fans and the like. Both parts make up the Wonderbolts as they are today. So that's why. Do you understand?"

"I do- However, Were the classmates who reported this by any chance Flash Lance, Kiwi Breeze and I've forgotten the other mare, but she has a blue coat and turquoise mane?"

"Sea Spirit? Yes. How do you know that, bullying reports are kept private and I've not told anypony."

"Yeah, well. Turns out those three ponies aren't victims but culprits of bullying." You've personally seen them harassing other ponies before and have had to stop them a few times, thankfully they never do anything serious so you've not needed to report them. They've messed with Lightning Dust a few times too, but this is just cruel. Lying about her so she can't advance to become a Wonderbolt? You HAVE to step in.

"Trust me Spitfire. You know I wouldn't lie about this. It's the other way around. Those three are always messing around with other students and even Lightning Dust herself. I've had to step in a few times to stop their pranks from going too far. I've never seen Lightning Dust instigate a fight." She has however defender herself a few times, but you better not say that.

"Huh. This changes things. Well I do trust you so let her know and tell her I apologize. I've been a bit... pre-occupied lately so I wasn't able to investigate. I just trusted my recruits to act properly and not to lie, I had seen Lightning act up once before so I just believed them. This is my fault, I'll have to make it up to her."

You agree, not that it was Spitfires fault, but that she could make it up to her. That would certainly cheer her up."That's that then. I'll see you later. You erm.. take care."

"Wait." Just as you started to leave she calls you name and you turn to face her room again. "Lazuli? Erm.. Would you.. mind.. If you."

There a brief pause and your slightly confused. "Lazuli, would you mind helping me with.. erm. Nevermind."

"Huh? Spitfire, if you want help, just ask. If I can't help you, then what kind of friend would I be?"

"No.. no. It's fine. Just go before I change my mind."

You're not sure what she as going to say, but either way you want to get back to Lightning Dust to tell her the good news. "Last chance Spitfire, tell me what you need or I'll be heading off."

You can hear some faint mumbling but can't make out what she was saying so you do as you said you would and leave. She'll be back in the academy soon enough, then you can ask her why she was acting so weird.

When you finally return to the academy it's pretty dark outside, your guard duty is starting soon. After the incident with the masked ponies, your schedule was rearranged from day-time to night-time. Now you're nocturnal. It isn't bad, quite a few of your new friends are working late not to mention there are more bat ponies around at night. They're always fun to watch and talk to.

Almost as soon as you enter the academy Spitfire greets you. It looks like Spitfire but you know better now. You give her a nod to be sure it's Lucy. She nods back and begins talking. "Lazuli. Where have you been?"

"Not been visiting Spitfire in her condo, that's for sure."

"I told you not to go. Anyways, before we talk, get indoors and meet me in my office in ten minutes." She heads off with nothing else said.

"Cya there." First you need to find Lightning Dust, it's quite late so she could be sleeping. Hopefully not, you'd feel bad if you had to wake her.

When you arrive at her room a few minutes later you give it a quick knock and make your way in, excited to tell her the good news. You catch her eating some cereal from a bowl on her table. She looks up at you slightly puzzled. The grin on your face worries her enough to stop eating and stare.

"Good-news everpony! Seems I was right in saying there was an error with you not getting into the next year of studies. I had a little chat with Spitfire and she said it would be okay for you to continue!"

Everything is said so quickly, Lightning Dust just looks at you, a mouth still full of cereal. She blinks a few times before jumping up, swallowing her food and leaping for a tight hug. You give in to her cuddle and hold her tight. Obviously feeling grateful she hugs hard. Harder than what you'd think be possible for a lithe mare like her. She squeezes and squeezes until eventually you let out a loud squark.

"Oh.. hehe. Sorry Lazi. I got carried away. Are you okay?" You take a few deep breaths of fresh air and nod. Lightning Dust's face is starting to beam brightly and you hug her once more, gently this time.

"It's fine, glad you're happy with the news." You state plainly, still hugging her.

"You really have no idea how much this means to me Lazi. I.. I've always though I ruined my only chance at being a Wonderbolt. No matter how hard I tired, I always though in the back of mind my it wouldn't matter. B..But you've prove me wrong. Heh. Thanks."

"Hey, I didn't do anything other than tell Spitfire the truth. Spitfire thinks you're a great flier, as do I. You deserve to be a Wonderbolt. Anyways, please tell me your staying now!"

She nods her head quickly a few times. "I guess I can stay. I mean, if you're around then everything will be fine right?"

You exhale slightly harder than normal sounding like a little laugh. "Yeah, I'll try to keep things in order around, which reminds me I'm supposed to go meet Spitfire.. or technically Lucy." A quick glance at a wall clock lets you know you're running a tiny bit late. "I have to go now, but I'm happy that I got to tell you the good news."

"Okay, I'll let you go now Lazi, but I'm going to remember this, I really owe you. I'm going to have to think of a great way to repay you.

"Nah it's fine. As long as I get to keep my friend here, that'll be enough. Speaking of repaying, Spitfire said she owes you for making the mistake in the first place. She'll probably arrange something fun." Saying that makes you want to join in. Spending time with not one, but two of your best friends would be awesome.

You let Lightning Dust know you have to be off, and that you'll be on duty again soon, and with that said, you head off once more.

Inside Spitfires office is Lucy disguised as Spitfire, sitting at the desk checking over some really old looking paperwork. When you enter she looks up at you and gets to talking straight away.

"Okay, well first things first, how did things go with Spitfire. You said you went to her condo which means you.. well.. what happened?"

"Nothing really. Went there, talked. Left. That was about it." You're not sure if you should mention ALL the details, but that was the jist of what happened.

"Why did you go even after I told you not to?"

"I had to talk to her about Lightning Dust. She wasn't allowed to advance her studies and was considering leaving. I had to find out why she was being rejected and... well... long story short, it was a simple misunderstanding. It's fixed now."

"Okay, well. So I guess you and Spitfire aren't dating or anything then?"

"Heavens no!" Not that you wouldn't like that, but she's always so busy. Besides, she's way outta your league, captain of the Wonderbolts and amazingly good looking. Doesn't stop you from imagining though. "Not that I don't like her. I'm just.. not very good at romance. I'm a little... Dense."

"That's fine Lazuli, If you need help with romance, just ask me! We're not called love bugs for show. Anyways, I was asking because I just needed to know for my acting. You know? Speaking of which, I'm not fired am I?" The changeling Spitfire asks, somewhat worried.

"Nah, she didn't say anything about you. Well, except asking if I was you when I first went in. So I presume you're fine. She shouldn't that you've showed yourself to me or Dust. Which makes me think, can we have like, a secret handshake or message so I know when it's you and not her I'm talking to?"

"Sure, what would you like?"

"Not sure, maybe something subtle, like a head pat or wink."

"I like the sound of a head pat! I'll pat your head if it's me! then i get feel your fluffy feathers!"

You laugh and agree. Before you could speak once more the changeling speaks up yet again. "Oh, the real reason I was looking for you, there was sightings of another gryphon around the academy premises. A few of the recruits noted her and I thought I could get you to investigate."

Another gryphon? Hmmm. It's been awhile since you last seen one, so what is one doing around here? "How did they know it wasn't me? I'm a gryphon and I wander the premises."

"It was much earlier, it wasn't exactly dark. Besides, you're kinda easy to recognize in your security outfit." That's true. You do stand out amongst everypony else here.

"So you want me to keep an eye out for this mystery gryphon tonight?"

"Yeah, if you can. They've not said or done anything dangerous yet, but I'd feel much happier with you keeping your eagle eyes on things. Just to be safe. You're supposed to be starting your shift soon right?"

"Yeah. I should probably head back to my room and get my gear. If you don't mind."

"Not at all. Take care." She then pats your head, reminding it's not actually Spitfire you're talking to. Having two Spitfires around will be hard to get used to, but it's not at all bad.

You pass Lightning Dusts room and can't help but smile knowing she'll be staying at the academy. It feels good that you managed to help her since she's helped you quite a bit since joined Wonderbolt guard duty. Mostly making other ponies feel at ease with your presence, ponies being prejudiced towards gryphons after all.

As you enter your room, you immediately know something off. Something's not quite right. Adjusting your eyes to the dark you spot somepony on your bed wearing your helmet. It's not somepony you recognize.

Hold on. That scent, the body size. That ain't no pony. It's another gryphon. A gryphoness. Definitely a gryphoness from where you're standing. She's violet coloured with some splashes of pink amongst her feathered wings. One of which is wrapped around her chest almost like a blanket.

You creep up towards her, curious to what they're doing in your bed, let alone your room. Before you could get too close though, she sits up, still sitting lewdly. "Like what you see?" She asks in a very effeminate voice, almost seductively.

"What are you doing in my room? and WHO are you?" You almost shout, but managed to control yourself at the last moment.

"Excuse you. Is that anyways to speak to your guest? Hmpth." She snorts at you. "But if you have to know, I'm Freya, and I've been looking for you." Her suspiciousness levels are at maximum.

"Looking for me? Why?"

"I heard there was a strong handsome gryphon male around here so I thought maybe I could snag him for myself." She snickers at her own *joke*. "Nah, what I really want was to offer you something. Something really good." She stands up fully now, still on your bed however, thought her wagging tail easily distracts you.

"Right..." You sound skeptical because you are. Her attitude doesn't feel sincere in the slightest.

"Well... you know how you're working with the Wonderbolts? Well, I've got an even better job for you. How about working for me?"

You just stand. Staring.

"Working for me! I know I'm too kind, better pay, more fun, and many more, luxuries for someone like yourself. It sounds almost unbelievable right?"

You stare. Some of those offers sound tempting, but you're happy right now, happy enough to not want to abandon your friends and duty. So you decline politely. "I'll pass thank you."

"What? Hey! Wait a minute. That's not what was agreed. You're supposed to say yes, then we leave this stink hole and go back to mine where we start anew patrol for you. You must be bored hanging around here all the time! Besides you get to hang out with me. ME! Of all gryphons!!"

She seems a little crazy. But you don't want to be aggressive if you can avoid it. "No thanks." you say once more. "I'm fine with things the way the are."

Did she really think that you would agree? You've never seen or heard about this gryphoness before. Should you have?

"I can double your pay and you can make new, better friends. How does THAT sound?" The extra cash would be nice, but it's not like you aren't being paid plenty already.

"Still no. Now unless you're here for another reason, please leave. I have my duties to attend to."

"Well... how about this, I hire you for a few weeks then, you can decide if you want to work with us instead of these lame Wonderbolts. We have a much better setup and you can have whatever you want. Just try it."

Now it's almost as if she's pleading with you. Still highly suspicious. "I can't decide anyways, it's Wonder Wings who owns my current contract, and I'm not about to disband it."

"And if I can make her sign you off?" You highly doubt she has that power. Wonder Wings herself went through quite a bit of effort to find you and hire you specifically.

"Go ahead and try." You jest before removing your helmet from her head. Now that your so close her scent is almost overpowering, she smells nice, really nice, almost like lily flowers and almonds.

"In that case. See you soon honey. Wonder Wings is a good ol' friend of mine, and I'm sure we can come to... an arrangement."

You ignore her and keep gathering you stuff, ankle belt, baton, vest. You equip everything with her watching intently for some reason.

"Damn you're one handsome son of a gun. I can't wait to have you working with me."

"Don't think too far ahead." you tell her, before escorting her out of your room and towards the exit to the academy. "Please, next time you decide to come here, make an appointment with the secretary or something, don't just turn up in my room otherwise I'll think you're an intruder."

"And what if I am intruding?" She asks, raising an eyebrow curiously.

"I'll have to escort you out of here, a little more roughly."

"And what if I want that?"

"Then good for you." She really starting to get on your nerves. She just doesn't quit.

With you finally finished conversing with the purpley pink gryphoness you send her out to which she blows you a kiss and flies off. You know that's not the last you'll be seeing of her.

Your start your patrol.

Author's Note

Finally slowing down with the rush of my University course, so I have free time again! Yay!
