Calming Down an Old Dragon Rivalry

Tohru and Elma are seen sitting on desks inside Lucoa’s classroom and very close to each other as they hated the small distance between them, but they were force to because they didn’t want to angry Lucoa knowing that she is a powerful deity dragon who could easy kill in one move if she wanted to.

“Now, I believe we need to clear things up like you two stop trying to kill each other.” Lucoa stated the issue.

“Hey, it’s not my fault this airhead keeps trying to force herself on me.” Tohru complained.

“Me? You’re the one who keeps breaking the rules of entering the human world which you know very well its forbidden.” Elma reminded her.

“Who cares about that rule, Lucoa is here in the human probably longer than I come here to visit.” Tohru pointed out.

“Lady Lucoa is an exception to the rule, unlike you and the other dragons in the Chaos Faction trying to destroy the world.” Elma glared.

“Hey, that maybe the case for the other dragons, but I am not with them anymore! I’ve changed and living in peace with the human, I even found myself a lover in the form the purple woman known as Twilight Sparkle!” Tohru bragged and gestured at Twilight who is also in the classroom with the others.

“And I thought parents were supposed to be the embarrassing ones, am I right?” Rainbow Dash teased, tapping her elbow on Twilight as she blushes.

“That is unacceptable, dragons and humans’ life cannot coexist because there are major differences between them and more.” Elma pointed out.

“Like I give a damn about those differences, Lucoa has already chosen a human as her mate and promised give birth to their children.” Tohru blurted out.

“Now Tohru, Flash hasn’t claimed me as his mate just met though I am looking forward to that.” Lucoa winked at Flash causing him to blush.

“And Elma, while you might be right about dragons and humans being separate beings from each other, but those differences is what also brought us together as we have been living with the humans of this town for quite sometime as equals. Meaning that dragons and humans can live together which is what I’m driving for.” Lucoa said proudly, pump up her chest causing her breasts to bounce.

“And when you think about it, doesn’t the Harmony Faction also want to live among humans too?” Twilight asked.

“Well, yes, that is one of the reasons why we formed the Faction, that’s only when the humans are ready to accept us.” Elma said nervously.

“So, in other words, you have no idea how to interact with humans since you guys kept yourselves shut.” Adagio figured out.

“Maybe, but that doesn’t mean we’re willing to try!” Elma proclaimed.

“I think this one might be a shy one like you.” Trixie commented to Fluttershy.

“I’m not sure if I call that shyness, but she said she’s willing to try living with humans.” Fluttershy said.

“Oh yeah, like how you can’t make up you mind on the simplest things like whether to eat an apple or a banana for a snack and you end up starving yourself.” Tohru mocked with a little laugh.

“Silence!” Elma snapped twirling around her staff causing a gentle breeze blowing in the room.

“I will not hear this from a dragon who only does things when she feels like doing it and destroy something later.” Elma angered as she points her wooden trident at Tohru.

“Hey, you’re making it sound like I’m a lazy dragon. Allow me to remind you of my destructive strength.” Tohru growled.

“Oh no, here they go again.” Fluttershy worried.

“Prepare yourself!” Elma charged.

“It’s almost like they’re little kids fighting over a toy.” Rarity sighed, remembering how she and Sweetie Belle used to be like that when they were little kids.

“You’re going to regret challenging me!” Tohru said as fire emits from inside her mouth.

“No, no, we can’t have that now. Can we?” Lucoa grabbed both their heads and pushed them down to the floor so hard that the impact makes large cracks before they could realize this.

“Well, at least we can count on Lucoa to calm things down peacefully.” Pinkie smiled.

“(You call that peacefully?)” Everyone thought weirded at the same time.

“Now Tohru, I believe you should be getting back to Twilight’s house as I recalled you were only here to drop off her lunch.” Lucaos recalled.

“Right, we can settle this later, Elma.” Tohru grunted.

“Very well, in the meanwhile, I’ll just walk around this human city and” Elma’s sentence was cut off when her stomach growls again.

“Looks like you didn’t haven’t eaten anything.” Flash said.

“Shut up, I’m fine as the day I was born!” Elma acted tough, but her growling stomach wouldn’t shut up and her cheeks blush again.

“Doesn’t look like that to me.” Aria chuckled.

“Here, I have plenty of tacos to share.” Sonata walked up to Elma showing the tacos in her big container.

“Oh my, they do look nice and tasty.” Elma said as a tiny drool hangs from her mouth.

“Well, I got the veggie tacos, the meaty supreme tacos, and the regular kind. Which one would you like?” Sonata asked.

“W-Which one…?” Elma gasped.

“Oh no, there she goes again.” Tohru annoyed.

Elma looks between the three different tacos right before her trying to make a very “hard” decision of her life to see which one she should eat, but her mind couldn’t come up with an answer and this leaves her frustrated scratching her head. It almost like life is testing her choices to see if one could lead to something good or another something bad though that is overacting much consider it is just food to eat and nothing serious.

“Come on, how hard does it take try to eat some tacos?” Rainbow Dash annoyed, growing impatient with this dragon woman.

“It’s only been two minutes, but yeah, seeing one of the mighty dragons struggling like this is upsetting.” Trixie admitted.

“Yeah, that’s her stupid flaw and the only thing she can never overcome.” Tohru exclaimed.

“Tohru, I think she just needs a little encouraging on her life choices.” Twilight believed.

“Life choices that involve food? You human have some confusing phrase for these things.” Tohru said.

“I think Twilight mean is try helping her from time to time.” Spike said.

“And you are right, Spike.” Twilight nodded and walked up to Elma.

“Hey Elma, you can always start with the regular tacos before moving on to the other ones.” Twilight suggested.

“Really? Then I shall take your word for it.” Elma decided and grabbed the regular taco, munching it in her mouth for a moment before her eyes widen of amazement.

“Oh my goodness, what is this tingling feeling that has erupted in my taste buds. It is nothing I have ever felt before and yet I want more.” Elma confused and awed at the same time.

“That, my dear dragon, is the greatest food ever made by the Gods themselves!” Sonata proclaimed dramatically.

“What? You’re saying the Gods have made this food?” Elma gasped.

“No, not really. I think it was some human who made it some time ago in the past, probably got some inspiration or something.” Lucoa said as she doesn’t know how and when tacos were made.

“But it is still a great food to have!” Sonata believed before taking a big bite on her taco.

“I think you’re the only one who loves tacos so much.” Trixie deadpanned.

Then they heard the bell ringing singling the start of that class is over and the next one will start soon.

“Wow, times sure fly by when you’re not paying attention to the time.” Applejack said looking at her watch.

“Guess we should get going then.” Spike hopped back into Twilight’s backpack.

“And that’s my cure to go back home, I still have some chores to do to finish.” Tohru opened a portal to Twilight’s house.

“Hope to never see you again, Elma.” Tohru glared before hopping into the portal.

“Fine then, I shall take my leave. Thank you for the delicious food, little girl.” Elma thanked with a bow.

“Little girl?” Sonata puzzled by that.

“Dragons are way than most living beings, so she probably thinks you’re a little girl compared to her.” Sunset pointed out.

“I’m off now, Lady Lucoa, would it be too much trouble to ask if you could open a portal for me?” Elma asked.

“Sure, no problem.” Lucoa nodded, but then she stops upon realizing something.

“Wait, can you not open portals back to the dragon world on your own, Elma?” Lucoa asked causing Elma gasp.

“Seriously, you can’t go back to your own world. How lame is that?” Trixie raised an eyebrow.

“I’m sorry, I just don’t have enough power to up portals freely like Tohru can.” Elma confessed.

“But I thought you and Tohru were rivals, evenly match in power.” Spike recalled something like that.

“We are, it just my powers are different than Tohru’s in a way.” Elma mentioned.

“You know what, maybe this is good thing you came to the human world. That way you can live alongside humans and see for yourself how they adapted to having us in their own.” Lucoa believed.

“Huh, are you sure about that, Lady Lucoa?” Elma asked shock.

“Yep, it’s totally fine. We can help you get settle in too.” Lucoa nodded.

“Thank you very much.” Elma thrilled.

(Twilight’s House)

“What? That stick in the mud rule pussy is going to be living in this town now?” Tohru shocked when Twilight told her the news.

“Come on, I know you two are from different Factions of opposite sides, but now this maybe a chance for you two to become friends.” Twilight hoped.

“Yeah, if she stops trying to be all dramatic about me trying to take over the world.” Tohru said mad while folding the laundry.

“Tohru, do you really hate Elma because she’s from the Harmony Faction?” Spike asked curiously.

“We have been enemies for a long time and always fought each other to the death, so it’s only natural that Chaos and Harmony would hate each other.” Tohru explained.

“But you’re not with the Chaos Factions anymore, that means there is no reason for you two to be enemies anymore either.” Spike pointed out.

“Spike is right, Tohru. You chose to come to this world because Lucoa showed you that humans can be fun to hang around and live with, now we’re trying to show the same thing to Elma as she is new to this like you were.” Twilight stated though Tohru is still uninterest in being friends with Elma.

Twilight knew that convincing a dragon who how ever long centuries of grudge to just drop it and be friend with another dragon isn’t going to be easy, but she also knows that life is not always easy to most as they have to start from square one or zero whichever they prefer.

“Tohru, look.” Twilight took Tohru’s hands into hers.

“I’m asking you to be friends with Elma right away, all I’m asking is that you give her a chance to see that you two can get along and make a friendship that can last a lifetime.” Twilight strongly believed.

“Well, that would be great if she and I can be friends.” Tohru said.

“But you can, just like I said, give her a chance and it’ll happen. I know it.” Twilight said before kissing Tohru on the lips for a couple of seconds.

“Okay, I’ll give Elma a chance to prove herself worthy of earning my friendship. But I’m only doing this for you, and that you wouldn’t be angry at me if we ended up fighting.” Tohru decided.

“That’s all I’m asking.” Twilight giggled.

“Although, it would be nice to know which one of you really is the strongest.” Spike excited, earning the “seriously” look from Twilight.

“To be honest, even I’m not sure if I’m the stronger one or not because in most of our battles they would always end in a tie.” Tohru revealed shocking the two.

“Always a tie, then that means you really are equal in terms of raw power.” Twilight surprised.

“Hey, I said most of them, I have my own wins too.” Tohru stated.

“And I’m guessing Elma also have the same number of wins too.” Spike teased making Tohru pout her cheeks.

(Sentry’s House)

“I would like to thank you for letting me live into your home, tomorrow I’m gonna try living on my own perhaps in those building you call them “apartments” I believe.” Elma bowed.

“You’re welcome, friends are always there to help each other.” Sonata smiled.

“No matter how annoying they may seem, you just find yourself wanting to hangout with them.” Aria chuckled.

“It nice to see that you have decided to come with in this city too, Elma.” Shouta smiled.

“And it is an honor to be spending the night under the same roof as the deity dragon and her son.” Elma bowed at the little dragon boy.

“Okay everyone, dinner is ready!” Lucoa announced and everyone sit together at the dining table.

“Wow, everything here looks so good!” Elma amazed of the food in front of her.

“And you don’t have to worry about choosing what to eat because the food is already on your plate.” Adagio said.

“Thank you, I can’t to simple more of this world’s delicacies.” Elma excited.

“Indeed, I purpose a toast to welcome the new dragon in Canterlot City and may she find her time here the most enjoyable one ever!” Trixie raised a glass.

“Cheers!” Everyone smiled together and started eating.

(The Next Day)

Elma is seen walking out of the Sentry House with her wooden trident in hand as she turns around facing all the residents of the house.

“Are you sure you don’t want to stay with us for a while?” Shouta asked.

“I am sure, I need to learn how to live in the human world on my own two feet. Don’t worry, I promise to come and visit you all any time.” Elma promised petting Shouta on the head.

“Well, at least I’ll know where you’ll be at when you’re not doing anything.” Tohru said as she, Twilight, and Spike walk up to her.

“Tohru!” Elma surprised.

“Oh no, please don’t let them fight each other again.” Sunset prayed.

“Don’t worry, I have a feeling that things are going to be different between them.” Lucoa believed opening one of her eyes.

Elma and Tohru stare at each other a moment of silence, or two, and the dragon maid of Twilight Sparkle holds up a basket to Elma though this confuses her.

“It’s a little something I made for you, they’re both for lunch and dinner at least for two days. Be sure not to eat them all at once.” Tohru shoved the basket into Elma’s basket.

“Oh, huh, thank you, Tohru.” Elma surprised that Tohru made some meals for her.

“Listen, I’m still piss at you for what we’ve been through in the past, but I’m willing to overlook past that and move forward if you wish to… to… to be friend.” Tohru said it out loud even though it was hard for her.

Elma’s eyes widen of shock that her rival from another Faction has now wanting to consider the two of the being friends, she never thought Tohru was capable of doing something like that given that she is from the Chaos Faction but now it really happened. Maybe being with these humans really has changed Tohru for the better, and perhaps it’ll be good to be friends with her too.

“Yes, I hope we can be very good friends too.” Elma smiled.

“Whatever, just get going to wherever you were about to do.” Tohru looked away, hiding a small hiding.

“Okay, I’m off now.” Elma waved goodbye to everyone and walk away to start her new life in the city.

“By the way, where is she going exactly?” Flash asked Lucoa.

“I told her about the apartment building with an available space she can live in. I made sure she understood how sign the paperwork and other things last night.” Lucoa answered.

“At least we won’t have to worry about her choosing which space to pick from.” Aria said.
