Mina's Visit
It's another day in Equestria. The city of Ponyville is preparing itself for some new visitors. Spike smiles as he checks the skies as today's an important day. His brother Zygon and his pals are coming over to Ponyville. This will be his chance to see Zygon again!
"Everything's gotta be perfect. Rainbow Dash, you've gotta make sure the clouds are cleared; you know those twin - Dave and Chuck - they always get blinded by clouds and ad terrible direction sense." Spike instructs everyone anxiously.
"Yeah, I can tell." Rainbow remarks as she roll her eyes while moving the clouds in question. "Dave and Chuck always like to fight with each other. Zygon sure got the worse teammate in his team - who wants those clowns? I wonder if Shadow Dragon's world have that kind of guys."
"And Fluttershy, please make sure to keep the bugs away. You know how those guys love them especially Boomer. Don't want to have Shy-Boomer Argue again."
"Ooh! You're right about that. I hate to see them get eaten by the Dragons." Fluttershy said. She got to work on motioning the bugs away from this area. No need for them to get eaten! "I'm glad that Grunt is a good and nice Dragon. Well, for Boomer, I don't like his attitude but he's a good friend. I'm surprise they eat those guys, other than gems."
"I'm surprise as well." Twilight remarks in agreement.
"Hey, Rarity; how goes with the suits?" Spike ask Rarity who brought in the suits that was specially made for the visiting Dragons.
"Looks fine. Are you sure that they're good for the Dragons? From what I recalled, your friend Rocket destroyed most of it because he hated a bowtie and suit." Rarity said, concerned as she recalled what happened the last time the Dragons came to visit. "Rob is the only sophisticated Dragon I know who appreciate my work."
Spike shrugged as he responded, "Well, that's Rocket. He'd prefer fighting gear and even want to fly around. Hey, Applejack, Pinkie Pie; how's with the drinks?"
The ponies in questions got the drinks ready for the Dragons. Applejack tips her hat as she calls out to Spike, "They're good. Are you sure they drink it? Echo Five prefer the hot lava drink. Where on earth can I get that? And what do you think you're doing, Pinkie Pie?!"
Applejack saw her friend humming as she adds something to the drinks. Pinkie threw it away as she giggles, "Adding the hot sauce. After all, Dragons loved spicy especially Eddy. He loved the barbecued muffins and cakes."
"You do realize that would be sound terrible. And I don't want to imagine how bad the taste is."
"Me neither. I'm surprise that Boomer and Mucky can take the rotten muffins from mind-controlled village by Starlight Glimmer. No offense."
"None taken..." Starlight said awkwardly as she admires the new mane do that Rarity has made for her. "I wonder if this world's Sunset Shimmer had this problem or not."
The human version of Sunset roll her eyes as she comments, "You have no idea."
"We've gotta do something with your name."
"What do you mean?"
"We don't wanna confuse our friends and another. Sometimes, I forget that you're Human than Pony." Starlight said in concern. She has a point. What if the pony Sunset comes back someday? It would be confusing to have two Sunsets with the same name!
"Oh, good point. I do have a nickname by the name of Shadow Five. They often called 'Sunshine Phoenix' because I studied very hard under Azure Phoenix's tutelage and teaching especially when I'm being bright and shine as the sun." Sunset said, recalling another name she would go by back home. Perhaps she could use it instead!
"Sunshine Phoenix? That's kinda cute and beautiful too. And it's perfect fit for you, Sunshine." Flash said to Sunset, now known as Sunshine who blushes at her lover's comment.
"Thanks."
"You know, Spike. This is the first time to see you get serious about making some welcome committee for other Dragons, even though we still have no memories of him yet." Twilight said to Spike thoughtfully. It's true, the ones of the old timeline AKA Twilight, Starlight, Ben, Nyx, Spike and Phobos has yet to have new memories of Zygon yet. How would they know him well?
"Well, when you're in this alternate timeline, might as well get used to it. I want to know more about my family since Zygon told me that they're the good guys than my original one." Spike remarks with a chuckle. Granted, he missed his old brother, but maybe someday, Spike will remember who he is.
"True. Hopefully, we'll get to that timeline to learn more about Zygon and how we met and become friends."
"Yeah."
"They're here, they're here!" Nyx calls out happily as she and her friends trot in. "Zygon and his pals are here!"
"All right, everypony, prepare yourselves!" Ben exclaims with a smile. "And remember, they may be Dragons, but they're still our guests, so treat them right."
The ponies rushed outside just in time as a group of Dragons landed in front of them. There's Zygon, including some new Dragons. Besides himself as the leader, there's Echo Five, Second-in-Command who is a black skinny Dragon with orange spikes, two shaped fork horns and large wings). There's Boomer, the Hotheaded Soldier, Rob, the Tactician, Rocket, the Mechanic who is a small brown raccoon Dragon-like with sharped triangle-like and worn metallic rocket-like booster, Grunt the Muscle, Dave and Chuck, the Comic Relief who is a blue two headed Dragon with wings - Dave the skinny long necked head with reddish goat horns and Chuck the fat headed dragon with short reddish horns, and Eddy the Smooth Talker who is a very small figure in crimson Chinese Dragon-like.
"Hey, little bro. You miss me?" Zygon ask Spike as he hugs him.
"Do I ever!" Spike exclaims with a laugh while the two brothers did some sort of handshake.
"Wow, for someone who is trying to remember, Spike remembered that." Phobos comments in amusement while saying his head.
"So these are the ponies Zygon spoke of?" Echo Five ask in amusement as he glances at the ponies. "Yeah, their descriptions fits them well."
"I am Grunt." The Dragon known as Grunt said with a nod.
"You said it, buddy." Rocket comments while patting his buddy by the tail. Despite the fact that his pal can only say “I Am Grunt”, he is able to understand what Grunt is really saying.
"Zygon, welcome back to Ponyville." Ben said as he and his group approaches the Dragons. "We will make sure your stay here will be as good as possible."
"Glad to hear because Spike and I have a lot of catching up to do." Zygon said with a smile, knowing that his brother still needs more memories of the new timeline.
"Say, uh...are we expecting some new Dragons?" Sunshine ask puzzled while looking into the air.
"No, why?" Starlight ask, arching an eyebrow.
"Because one is coming right now!"
Everyone is startled as a new Dragon is indeed approach, landing nearby the group and startling them. It's a moderate turquoise colored eye female Dragon with light rose hair. Spike is startled as he knows who this is at once!
"Mina! Hey, what are you doing here?" Spike ask, surprised to see his friend who he and Luna once helped with a problem once involving a misunderstanding in Fillydelphia which ended when the culprits turned out to be a Fire Snail.
"Just a visit. I haven't seen you for a while." Mina answers. She gasped upon seeing the new Dragons, especially Zygon. "Are those Dragons?! Cool! I thought you're the only Dragon in Ponyville."
"I was. Zygon is my big brother, and these guys are his team - Flaming Dragon Squad - Echo Five, Boomer, Rob, Rocket, Grunt, Eddy and the clown Dragon."
"Excuse me?! Moi?" Dave snaps as if he was offended. "Don't you mean Chucky? He's the only one who is a real clown."
Chuck spokes Dave in the eyes while scowling, ""I'll show you whose clown, actor boy."
Eddy rolls his eyes while remarking, "Boy, you're the one to talk. Spike meant you both being clowns since you're good at being a distraction."
"Shut up!" Dave and Chuck snaps in annoyance. They don't need any of this backtalk!
Mina giggles as she feels Grunt's muscles. The female Dragon couldn't help but comment, "Ooh! You're big and strong."
"I am Grunt." Grunt remarks, speaking in his usual way.
"I know. I am Mina."
"I am Grunt."
"I am Mina." Mina said puzzled. Why did this guy keep saying he is grunt when she knew already?
"I am Grunt." Grunt said once more. This of course confused Mina once more.
"I am Mina."
Rocket decided to step in before this confusion goes onward. He spoke up while explaining, "Hey, kid. Word of advice - he got limited words to say."
"Seriously? How do you understand?" Mina ask Rocket in bewilderment. She ponders how someone would understand what Grunt is saying if all he could say is "I am Grunt".
'Just see his reaction and action, and his tone. That's key to understand."
Spike chuckled in agreement, "Yeah, believe me. I have my own problem to understand him too."
"Just some practice, it will be easy peesy to understand him." Boomer remarks. He smirks while hugging Spike, much to his embarrassment. "I feel like I'm having a little brother to mess with."
"Boomer, I'm not your brother. I just forgot how we met."
"I know. But it makes me feel like one than that joker."
"Excuse me? Did you just call me a joker?!" Rob snaps at Boomer annoyed and offended. After everything he did, Boomer went and makes fun of him now?!
Eddy couldn't help but chuckled at this, "Ooh! That's gotta hurt! Always get big slap by the big boy."
"First off, Boomer's short. And second, I don't get slapped, Eddy."
"It's just an expression, pretty boy. And I thought you're the smartest guy in Equestria."
"I still am!" Rob protest, more irritated. He hates it when his intelligence gets insulted like this.
Echo Five sighed while shaking his head. His pals always does this! He ask, "Why do we always stuck with these guys? They barely put any effort of working together. And it's the reason why we got stuck in Demon Land in the first place."
"Cheer up, E5. No Dragon is perfect. Gotta chill. This is Ponyville." Zygon said, reminding his pal that the gang are in Ponyville so they need to chill and relax.
Echo Five rolled his eyes while remarking, "I supposed so. Hopefully, ponies get me the right drink this time. I hate apple cider." Applejack felt a bit offended but kept quiet as the Dragon took a Drink and drank it. Echo Five pauses a bit then smiles. "Hmm! This taste good!"
"Thank you. All I did is mixed with apple cider with spicy. That would make some serious hot stuff since you Dragons love hot and spicy ones." Pinkie said playfully to the Dragon. The other ponies looks surprised, mostly AJ. Looks like the pink pony's idea has worked!
"Uh... I'm gonna pretend that this is Lava Drink."
Zygon chuckled as he turns to Mina, "Oh boy... Nice to meet you, Mina."
"Nice to meet you too, Zygon. I've got some serious and lots of questions. Are you really Spike's big brother? Where did you come from? How did you find Spike? How are you related to Spike? Did Spike know about this? And did you know, other than us, there were more Dragons around the Equestria especially the infamous general of Imperial Phoenix - Strict Stalker?!" Mina ask Zygon. The Dragon looks a bit surprised. She looks rather curious and talkative for a girl!
"Wow... She's... Talkative."
"Yeah, that's Mina for you. She's fan of lots of ponies and Dragon celebrities like Princess Twilight Sparkle for being paranoid for no reason." Spike remarks with a smirk, recalling the celebrities that Mina is a fan of, mostly Twilight.
"Spike!" Twilight exclaims, a bit irritated by that.
"Just kidding! You did have that once or few times."
"Very funny, Smartypants-ike."
"Smartypants-ike?" The Dragons ask a bit surprised yet amused. What kind of nickname is that?
"That's his real and full name before I shortened it into 'Spike'." Twilight remarks with a smirk. She recalled how Spike tried to use the name before the filly changed it to avoid confusion with her own fault, Miss Smartpants.
"Twilight!" Spike protests embarrassed. She can't tell the Dragons that! It's too embarrassing.
Needless to say, the Dragons chuckled and laughed as well as commented how funny about Spike's funny name is. The small Dragon slaps his forehead and looks down.
He is never going to live this down at all.
The Dragons soon begin to party. Of course, that means they also gotta get used to the Ponies' custom. Luckily, the Drake Trio was able to avoid trouble because they have been with Spike for a long time since the adventure in Demon Land. But the rest? Well...
"Come on, Echo! Come on!" Pinkie exclaims eagerly, trying to get Echo Five to party and have fun.
"No!" Echo Five exclaims in annoyance. Can't this pony see that he's too serious and stoic for this kind of party?
"Don't be a grumpy, meanie Dragon! Just have fun and party, live a little! Come on!"
"Err, Pinkie? You better stopped." Rob said a bit concerned, noticing the tense look in his colleague's face. "Echo Five isn't the kind of Dragon who parties."
"And why?" Pinkie ask randomly. Echo Five grunts and storms off. "Hey, get back here!'
"Pinkie!"
Rob chased Pinkie who is chasing Echo Five, who is trying to ignore her. Meanwhile, Rocket is very annoyed right now. Why? Because Rarity has put him in a suit and bowtie...and this Dragon hates it!
"I am not wearing this trash!" Rocket scowls angrily at Rarity, making her upset.
"Come, darling! A Dragon like you could learn to dress properly!" Rarity exclaims sternly to the angry Dragon.
"Yeah? Well, a fuss bucket like you should jump off a cliff!"
"HOW DARE YOU!"
"Rocket, Rarity, please." Rarity said sternly as she and Grunt are trying to calm the arguing two down. "Let's not fight. We're all friends here."
"I am Grunt." Grunt said in agreement. Last thing he wants is for Rocket to go fighting mad. But Rarity and Rocket kept on getting into shouting matches. They are not very pretty indeed!
"I say we should eat more gems!" Dave exclaims to Chuck in annoyance as the two stepped through town.
"No, no, too much goes to my waist, we eat less!" Chuck argued to Dave in annoyance as well.
"We eat more!"
"Eat less!"
"Taste more!" Chuck exclaims in annoyance as he hits Dave in the face.
Dave hits him right back as he scowls, "Less filling!"
The two were busy arguing that they weren't watching where they were going and stepping, smashing through a lot of stuff in their way. Rainbow was flying, protesting, "Guys, stop it! You're going to wreck all of Ponyville! Guys, calm down!"
"And I say we want more crispy food." Eddy said to Applejack calmly. "That way, we can fill up our stomachs."
"Right, not this horse garbage you throw on us." Boomer said in agreement, smirking in agreement. "How about some dried bugs and not apples?"
Applejack's eye twitched a bit. Then she screams and chased after the two like mad, causing them to yelp and run off. That is one cowpony you don't wanna ticked off!
"Wow, you really awesome!" Mina exclaims with a smirk to Zygon. Spike was drinking some drink with Twilight as the trio of Dragons were having a conversation. "Anyway, I gotta go get some more juice."
Mina heads off to get the juice in claw. Spike smirks as he speaks to his brother, "So, what you think about Mina?"
"She's okay." Zygon remarks with a shrug, much to Spike's surprise.
"Seriously? Okay?"
"What?"
"I thought you would like her." Spike spoke to his brother in surprise. After a while, he thought Zygon and Mina would hit it off. Apparently, he isn't that interested in her.
"Yeah, she's an okay kid. Mina did remind me of someone else I missed; Boy, that was great time when we're together." Zygon chuckles a bit. He stopped as he notices that his pals are now nearby. They have gotten bored with the ponies and decided to see if their leader has something more better to say. "What?"
"I know that look." Eddy said with a teasing look on his face. He has seen that look so many times before. It's cute to be honest!
"Why am I not surprise? He still pinned on her." Rocket remarks, rolling his eyes a bit. His boss is so still into that other Dragon!
Grunt moaned at this, "I am Grunt..."
"Wait, what?" Zygon yelps, blushing a bit in embarrassment and more. He was hoping that this won't come out in the open, especially in front of Spike no less!
Dave laughs a bit, making kissy motions while remarking, "How romantic! The General and the Princess fell in love together. And it was tragic when the General's family were killed, he set out for vengeance with us and the army!"
Chuck groaned out in disgust, "Save it for the dramatic act, moron."
"Quit being annoying for once, genius. But they have a point. You still love her." Echo Five said to Zygon with a smirk, making him blush some more. Spike is amazed that his brother can turn red big time!
"Guys, come on!" Zygon protest nervously to his pals. Do they have to do this to him every time?
Boomer chuckled in amusement, "Zeeky and Ember sitting on the tree! K-I-S-S-! OUCH!" He said this because Zygon hits him on the head hard just to make him stop.
"Ouch, that's gonna leave the mark." Rob remarks with a cringe. Boomer is going to feel that one.
"Say, who are you guys talking about?" Spike ask the Dragons curiously. "Who does Zygon pining for, in a matter of speaking?"
Boomer smirks as he answers, "Princess Ember - that's who. Isn't that right, Prince Charming?"
"Real funny, guys. Really, funny." Zygon remarks dryly. As everyone looked at him, he groans and gives in. There is no defying it anymore. Time for him to come clean. "Fine... Yes, I like her and missed her a lot. I even... Love her."
"What's she like?" Spike ask Zygon curiously and amazed. He was wondering what the girlfriend of his brother was even like.
"She's smart, fun and-!"
"Pretty?"
"Beautiful!" Zygon exclaims excitedly, making Spike smile and roll his eyes at this. "Her scales are like an ocean blue! Man, I like that a lot. I even brought seashell for her as a present. Her wings were great as the wind! I can tell you - she's fast too. And her smile... Who wouldn't forget that smile?"
"Ooh... Zeeky is definitely in love with Ember." The Dragons remarks teasingly, making Zygon blushing more.
"Funny. Why didn't you bring her here?" Spike ask Zygon curiously. If his brother loves this girl Dragon so much, why couldn't he bring her here?
"Problem - Daddy issues." Boomer remarks dryly while frowning.
"Overprotective? Doesn't trust boys much? A royalty princess? And above all, she got some serious competitive boys to love her?" Twilight guesses a bit. She wonders if those reasons were the reason that this Princess Ember couldn't come to this.
"Pretty much it..." Echo Five remarks with a shrug, confirming this.
"And of course, every Dragon think we're dead." Dave answers, making Twilight a bit confused. "Well, we are dead to them anyway. They got no idea that we're here.
"And not to mention, this pretty boy is scared to see her because he didn't bother to write a letter to her." Dave teases a bit. The Dragons are a bit amused that Zygon is still frighten to even send a letter to Ember.
"Biggest mistake ever!" Eddy exclaims with a mad laugh of amusement.
"I'd tell you. I'll do anything for her. Too bad she doesn't know I'm alive. I don't know what to do if I see her again." Zygon admits with a sad sigh. He would do anything for Ember, but she has no idea that Zygon is still alive....or what the Dragon would do should he ever see her again.
"Easy! Tell - Her - THE TRUTH!"
"You're kidding! She'll kill me for lying! Besides, she doesn't love a general. Only a princess and prince could be together. Best we stay low."
"Someone is worry for nothing as usual." Echo Five remarks while rolling his eyes a bit. Zygon is worried for nothing, he should stopped worrying and tell Ember that he's all right.
"Not to mention, forgetful that Zeek is ther Crown Prince of the Dragon Lord Spykoran." Rob pointed out one thing. Zygon is one of the grandsons of Spykoran the Old, the original Spike of the days of Ponyland. So why is that a problem?
Boomer nodded while remarking, "Yeah. We've always end up reminding him that he is a prince, and so was Spike!"
"Wow... I wonder if we can meet her. If she's beautiful as Rarity, I'd be madly in love." Spike remarks with a smile. This Ember must be beautiful to make his brother so darn goofy!
Grunt remarks in amusement, "I am Grunt."
"You said it. We've got competitor number 2." Rocket laughs a bit, much to Spike's embarrassment and Twilight's amusement. It would be funny to see the two brothers in a competition for Ember.
"Hey! I didn't say 'love', I meant to say 'like'." Spike insists as he chuckled uneasily.
"Yeah, you could have fooled my uncle." Boomer jokes a bit in amusement. One would say that would be the day.
Now around this same time, in a wasteland far away, a female Dragon sat on her bed, sighing as she looks out the window of her room. Ember has been pining for a certain Dragon for a long time, wondering and pondering one thing. Is Zygon still alive and is he still thinking about her?
Ember sighed, "Zygon... Where are you? I've waited for you for over 500 years. And you still haven't come home."
The princess's maids were in the room, listening in to this. One of them spoke up in a serious matter, "Your highness. It's not my place to speak. Maybe you should look for another suitor."
"I agreed. It's best for you." The second maid said with a nod. Ember shouldn't continue being like this, it's not good for her mental health!
"No! No Dragon is better than Zygon. He's perfect for me." Ember snaps stubbornly as she stood up from her bed. "When I becomes Dragon Lord, I will find and bring him back from the Demon Land. I don't care what he or daddy said. He's the one I loved and missed. I'm not gonna lose him."
"You might have a chance, milady. Follow me. Your father spoke of retiring." The third maid said as she motions Ember to follow her. Ember's father, the Dragon Lord Torch, is about to have a meeting to decide the future.
Now the meeting chamber is made mostly of rocks. The Dragon Lords would meet in certain places to have meetings and make plans for the future of Dragons. Today is the day that they used Dragon Lord Torch's room.
Spike and Zygon's grandfather, Spykoran the Old, sat down as he spoke to his fellow Dragons, especially Torch, "Old friends, it's been a long time.
Raja, a brownish large Indian Dragon with wings (the same as the Red Dragon from Season 1 Episode 6) chuckled in an Indian Accent, "Indeed, Dragon Lord Spiky. It's been too long. Any idea why we have been summoned?"
Kasai, a crimson female Chinese-Japanese Dragon mixed, spoke in a Japanese Accent, "Knowing Dragon Lord Torch, he has some crazy yet extreme challenge for young ones to join the army."
Torch nodded as he spoke seriously, "Precisely. However, it does not involve the army. It involved something else. It's time for me to retire."
"Oh dear! What is wrong, old friend? Are you sick?! Are you badly wound?! Oh no! He's gonna die!"
"No, you idiot! Following Dragon Tradition. I've been Dragon Lord for over thousand years as my rule is extremely extraordinary! AGREE WITH ME!"
"Torch! This is a meeting chamber, not your amusement park." Kasai scolds Torch. He hates it when his fellow Dragon Lord would yell like that as if having a time of his life. "But you are right. We must respect it. Were these Dragons prepared for the Gauntlet of Fire?"
"Only the strong shall survive. And I'm surprise you still continued to rule, Spike." Torch said. He is amazed that Spykoran is still alive to rule his territory. He has been around for a long LONG time.
"Well. I'm not interested in sports or battles. I do what is necessary to lead my Northern Region of Dragon Land, as well as keeping relationship between Dragons and ponies intact." Spykoran said to Torch with a shrug. He refused to participate in this kind of challenge and will continue doing so.
"I see. It's an understanding, old friend. But if you change your mind, I shall help and prepared the Gauntlet of Fire."
"Speaking of which, your grandson have some feelings for Ember, does he not." Kasai spoke, recalling that Spykoran's grandson has feelings for Torch's daughter Ember.
Spykoran chuckled in agreement, "Yes. He's always nervous around her. I've always knew that he and her is a perfect couple."
"Don't even think about that! She will not be married with him! Even if he's alive, I will tear him apart for trying to mate with her! HUNT HIM DOWN!" Torch exclaims furiously. The other Dragon Lords rolled his eyes at this of course. Why are they not surprised to hear him being the overprotective father per usual?
"Overprotective again, I see. He really needs to let her be what she wants." Rara remarks to Kasai dryly. Why can't Torch just get out of the past and let Ember be with whoever she wants to be with?
"I agree." Kasai said in agreement.
"Not only that. He has to acknowledge her as his true successor and Zygon as her lover and future suitor. She's like her mother." Spykoran remarks in agreement with his two colleagues. Ember has so much of her mother in her, it's amazing how much of Torch he has in her!
Now unknown to the Dragon Lords, Ember and her maids are hiding behind the giant rocks, listening in. The princess gasps and smirks eagerly. If she can somehow get involved with the Gauntlet, she could prove to her father that she can be a good successor...and be with Zygon forever!
"It's perfect. Once I'm done with the Gauntlet of Fire, I'll become Dragon Lord, lead the assault on Demon Land, find Zygon and married him! It's the perfect plan!" Ember exclaims, almost close to squealing in delight. It's perfect, who would stop her.
"You will stay where you belong! Stay out of it." A voice spoke out sternly and annoyed, making Ember frown. Why is she not surprised that someone would oppose her idea?
"Yeah, right. Like I'm gonna ignore it, maids."
"That wasn't me!" The maids protests nervously. Ember looks confused, if that wasn't them, then who just rejected?
"Huh?!" Ember turns and gasped in alarm. Why, you may ask? Because a familiar Dragon Torch is standing above her and the maids, glaring mostly at the princess. Hoo boy, busted! "Hey dad..."
"What are you doing here?" Torch demanded more than he asked, making Ember a bit awkward.
"Nothing..."
"If it's nothing, then GO TO YOUR ROOM!"
The princess didn't waste time in leaving. She and her maids headed off, they do not wish to provoke Torch further...well, Ember does but she did so out of annoyance more than fear.
Ember groaned, "I really hate it when he does that."
At the end of the party in Ponyville, the Dragons are done and preparing to go home. The cleanup is already understand to fix up the messes caused during the party. All in all though, it was a big success.
"Well, it's great to see you again, Spike." Zygon commented to Spike as the brothers hugged each other. "We'd love to stay but we got other things to do."
"Make sure to stop on by again." Twilight remarked with a giggle. "But next time? Try to be more careful."
"Hey, Zygon!" Mina exclaims as she landed nearby, smiling. "Great party! It's good to meet you and your pals. I really enjoyed myself."
"Yeah, me too." Zygon said a bit nervous. Not good, could it be that...
"Oh, and before you got any ideas? I got a boyfriend already. So whatever feelings you got, sorry it's not going to work. I'm a Fillydelphia kinda of Dragon. So I hope we'd be friends."
"Oh, well, that's fine by me! Yeah, I'd understand."
"Good!" Mina exclaims with a giggle. She gave Spike a hug before letting go. "Well, great to see ya again, Spike. I hope our paths meet again."
"Cool. Wait, so who's your boyfriend?" Spike ask Mina. She is curious as to who would win Mina's heart. "Is he a Dragon?"
"Yep! His name is Nibble Although I am more worried about his big brother who is a big jerk, but I cannot tell Nibble that!"
"Big brother? Who is it?" Zygon ask Mina concerned about the big brother.
"Some guy by the name of Garble." Mina remarked with a shrug.
The group looks shocked and confused as Mina happily flies off to head on home. She is in love with a Dragon...who is Garble's little brother?!
"Now I have heard everything." Ben remarks, shaking his head in disbelief.
