Spike took a deep breath as the door to Cello's Lookout opened. "I feel so much lighter..." He exclaimed as he looked around at the hallway they were in. Hannah bounded up to him with a smile on her face before she skidded to a halt in front of him.

"Woah! You got tall..." She said with a sense of awe, "You must have gotten strong too!" She squealed in excitement as she leapt into the surprised dragon's arms.

Spike chuckled a little as the little griffon clambered up to his shoulders, though a sharp cough caught everyone's attention. Cello smiled a little as Paolina stood next to the grown dragon. "It's good to see you grow so much Spike, the outfits are back from Tokitoki though, so I guess you guys will be heading out soon?"

Paolina smiled. "Nah, I think that we could spend some time chilling here for a bit. That is, if you don't mind a Saiyan going through your food stores." She leaned up against one of the pillars with a smirk. "Besides... I was thinking about getting a haircut, long and messy just isn't feeling it for me anymore."

"What style are you thinking about?" Hannah asked as she looked at the Saiyan curiously.

"Something a bit shorter... and straight, probably shoulder length instead of mid-back." Paolina replied with a shrug. "You any good with hairstyling Cello?"

The albino Namekkian gave her a flat look. "Namekkians don't grow hair..."

"So? I've met a few bald people who are really good at styling hair." The Saiyan replied with a huff before turning to the Griffon. "What about you? You think you could help?"

Hannah nodded with a smile. "Sure, I'd have to get a brush and some scissors... but I think I have an idea for what you want." With that the Griffon quickly hopped off of Spike's head and dashed down the hallway.

"Do you ever think about what would happen if we didn't have to fight anymore Cello?" Paolina asked the Namekkian as she watched the Griffon leave.

Cello gave a small shrug as he began escorting the two of them to a room where they could rest. "It probably wouldn't be much different... in a few years time you'd probably be looking for someone to start a family with even though you would keep on your training. I can't say I know for sure what would happen."

"Really? Me? With a kid?" Paolina replied with a skeptic look.

"You never know Lina, it's possible that you could find someone..." Spike offered as he removed the damaged RIT chestplate from his suit. "Gomo is already trying to get you to marry him." He added.

"Don't remind me... I'm not sure I actually want to be with him..." The Saiyan replied with a slight frown.

"Why not?" Spike asked, only to receive a shrug in return.

Cello was the one to bring them out of the conversation. "Well, hopefully we won't have such a big issue once whoever is messing with this world is dealt with." He explained as he passed each of them a cup of tea. "White Needle... it's actually surprisingly good. It's great to relax with when you're with friends. Did you already teach Spike how to sense energy?"

Paolina nodded with a small smile. "It was one of the first things I taught him..."

Paolina sat along the edge of Kami's lookout as the night rose and the day fell beyond the horizon. She took a small breath as she felt the presence of the dragon walking up behind her. "You know Spike... It's good to sit like this every so often and watch as the moon rises... It helps put some troubles into perspective... We have all this space, no matter what happens this space doesn't change a lot in what little time we dedicate to it... it'll still be here after we're gone... There isn't much of a need to worry."

Spike nodded as he took a seat next to her. "Yeah, I tried to get Twilight to understand the same thing, she's spent her whole life dedicated to books..."

"Want to join me for something real quick?"

Spike turned to the Saiyan with a curious look. "What?"

"It's always so much more fun to transition into flying from a freefall... Want to go Base Jumping with me?" Paolina asked as she stood up. Spike nodded and followed suit, looking over the edge as he mentally went over the flight exercises again.

Both of them leaned forward to let gravity drag them down towards the castle hundreds of miles below them. The whistling of the wind was all that accompanied their dive as they both took several deep breaths, letting their Ki envelop their bodies before they pulled up sharply and soared back into the clouds. Paolina smiled as she let her hand run through several of the nearby clouds on their circuit around Cello's lookout. She squeaked a little as Spike's arms wrapped around her waist, letting him carry her as she looked back at him.

Spike gave her a gentle smile as he helped her shift around enough so that her whole body was facing his. "Lina... Thank you..." He said quietly, earning another small squeak from the warrior as he pressed his mouth to hers. After several seconds of hesitation her arms slowly wrapped around his shoulders as the two of them slowed down. The battle-scarred Saiyan hummed as she felt the floor of the lookout's balcony press against her back.

Paolina gave a slight groan as she woke, a particularly annoying beam of light played across her face from the curtain that was mostly-drawn. With a slight growl she shifted around and buried her face in the warm scales of the other person in her bed... just before she blinked and began to connect the dots with who the only scaled person she knew on this planet was. Her eyes traveled along the green-scaled chest that had been against her all night, fortunately he still had his pants on and there wasn't a distinct smell in the room so that was no doubt that their night had been G-Rated. She tensed a little as the dragon's arm that was draped over her side pulled her in for a closer hug.

His nose buried itself in her hair as he took a deep sniff of her scent. "Good morning Lina..." he grumbled. "...Sleep well?"

She nodded against his chest. "Yes... actually... better than I have in a while..."

The dragon smiled a bit more as he placed a small kiss on her head. "That's good... Want to go flying again today?"

Paolina tapped on Spike's chest. "Maybe in a bit... for now though, I think I'd like to sleep a bit longer... It's not like there's going to be a dragon attacking ponyville or something." They both began to chuckle for a few minutes until Spike let out a belch of flame above their bed, causing the mirthful feeling in the room to make haste as he picked up the note.

Dear Spike,

I don't know if this letter will make it to you in time to have Paolina or Cello assist us... I may have accidentally told Twilight that I wanted her and her friends to help deal with a dragon that was planning to make his nest in one of the mountains near Ponyville for the next thousand years. If you could convince Paolina or Cello to go quickly it may prevent Twilight and her friends from reaching the dragon.

Spike almost immediately smacked his face with his claw as he read the letter. "Celestia got into the tea and rum mixes again..."

"Come on... lets get suited so we can deal with the dragon." Paolina sighed as she quickly got out of bed. In just a few minutes the two of them had their brand new battle suits on. Paolina's suit was styled after the one she had seen Bardock use when she had battled alongside him while Spike had a green jumpsuit underneath the RIT Variant chestpiece. As the pair dashed towards the edge of the lookout they passed Cello. "Sorry Cello, we gotta split, see ya soon!" Paolina rushed just before the two of them took off into the air.

The albino Namekkian stood there with a small huff. "Fine, I didn't want to make pancakes for you guys anyway... more for Hannah and me!" He scoffed.

Author's Note

I want to write something profound in this box... but I have no idea what to write.

I'll admit this guys, I had originally begun writing this story as a completely original displaced story, but I really don't know if I just want to make a separate displaced story for some of my other Xenoverse characters, or continue with the plan I had wanted for turning this into a displaced with maybe one or two character crossovers.
