Ride

                                    

                                          
ALLIE
                          
I bounce down the street, trying to hurry. 
My feet grace the pavement like birds grace the mid day sun. 
                          
I speed through the crowd, right to the front. 
                          
Then, I see Percy. 
                          
On the stage with Violet beside him. 
She smiles at me, and roars loudly. 
                          
A man appears on stage with no prior warning. 
                          
His dragon is definitely a very rare Sapphire. 
                          
He calls, "Alliance Virgo Nightmare, Pyro Academia Leo,  and Hiro Aquarius  Lonoke."
                          
I walk to the man I don't know and the boy I have come to nearly love. 
                          
I blush like crazy as I stare into Percy Taurus Daydreams' eyes when I come on stage. 
                          
I see the man smile. 
                          
Then, it disappears as two more village boys trot up onto stage with us. 
Pyro Leo has crimson hair that isn't ever in order. 
Meanwhile, Hiro Lonoke is in perfect order... just kidding. 
He's worse than Pyro ever is. 
                          
The man looks at us carefully while moving us in order shortest to tallest. 
Hiro is the shortest at about 5'6. 
Then, I come in at 6 feet. 
Then, there's Pyro at 6'5. 
                          
Then, of course...there is Percy. 
He towers over me at about 6'11. 
                          
He says he will grow again soon. 
He wasn't joking. 
                          
I hear a quiet voice calling me from behind the mans' back. 
I stand still, trying to hear her better. 
                          
I can't quite reach it with my ears. 
                          
I see the man smile at me. 
He walks to Hiro. 
                          
He touches a stone. 
A blue glow radiates off of it, but Hiro jerks away on contact. 
                          
The man chuckles. 
                          
He skips me to Pyro. 
Pyro glows a blood red, and Percy is granted a purple gleams, and a yelp of pain. 
Then, the stone leaps from the mans' grasp as he goes to skip me. 
                          
It rolls to my feet, which is very much up hill. 
I pick it up and see a crack. 
So did everyone else. 
                          
Cheers echo through the crowd, and the stone vibrates and turns pitch black with a metallic deep purple sheen. 
                          
I hold it, unsure of what's happening. 
I feel myself going onto Violet, suitcases nearby. 
                          
Some how, we end up flying. 
                          
I look up, and scream. 
Percy smiles from aboard his dragon. 
He chirps, "You better get used to this."
I gape. 
                          
I whisper, "Is this?"
He nods, and plays some music from his phone. 
                          
He smiles, and turns back to face the sky. 
I smile as Gypsy by Shakira plays out to lighten the mood. 
He relaxes his shoulders, and changes position. 
                          
I put my egg in my bag, and follow his lead. 
                          
We drop into a sudden, 90 degree drop. 
                          
I scream, and Percy laughs with the thrill of the free fall. 
                          
I laugh soon, hands gripping the saddle before me. 
I see a castle, and feel us slow down. 
                          
A giggle escape us, and the dragon huffs. 
                          
I smile, and see a landing strip made of beach sand. 
A flare goes off, and we land in the sand. 
                          
I giggle at my friends' sand covered form. 
His armor is yellow instead of dark purple to match his dragon. 
                          
I giggle some more when he turns to face me. 
He helps me down, and I check my egg. 
I panic. 
                          
I cry, "Her egg cracked!"
Percy corrects, "His."
                          
I apologize. 
                          
We go in, and his dragon goes to clean up. 
I get lead into a beautiful castle. 
I see Percy start running. 
                          
I chase him, and we come to a stop at a big desk. 
Percy chirps, "This is Alice Virgo Nightmare. She's a rider with egg."
                          
The man looks at us with alarm. 
He cries, "Nightmare? As in, Link Nightmare?"
I deadpan, "Yes."
                          
He nods, and leads us into a hall full of pictures. 
Percy has turned his phone off a while ago, but the song is stuck in my head. 
                          
I step to the beat, happy to feel this energized.  
Percy notices my odd pace, and smiles. 
                          
Percy hugs me, and leaves down another hall.
I say goodbye, and he smiles.
I jog after the man. 
                          
He opens a door, and whispers while turning on a black light, "Egg."
                          
I bring my egg out, and place it on the table. 
                          
I sense another presence. 
                          
I take my egg back, and bolt. 
I hear a hatchet come down. 
I feel a cold chill exit my heart. 
I dash down the hall, and right into a nursery. 
                          
I dash to the first person I see. 
Percy. 
                          
I hide behind him, egg close to me. 
He laughs, and leads me to a nest. 
I set the egg inside. 
                          
Percy explains that it was a test, nothing more. 
                          
I smile, and hug Percy. 
                          
A few guys and gals stare at me with suprise. 
Percy hugs me back. 
                          
I let him go. 
We hug a lot.
                          
I touch the egg, and hear something like an explosion. 
                          
I hear a loud scream. 
                          
A big, red, Chinese dragon knocks me over. 
A girl grabs him off me, and scolds, "Herbert!"
                          
I introduce myself, and the world falls silent. 
Percy is behind me, as if I need protection. 
                          
She introduces, "Lilly Daydream, your roomie. It's an honour to meet you."
                          
I stare and the girl, then Percy. 
She asks, stunned, "Are you the girlfriend my brother gabs on about?"
Percy turns red when I turn to face him. 
                          
He stutters, "I never..."
His sister raises her eyebrows, and Percy looks at the ceiling. 
                          
I sih, "Really, Percy?"
                          
A/n the media is the song previously mentioned & a pic of Herbert.
