ORACLE

STEFANIE

SIRIA

Morgan was restless. Very restless. He didn't know why, but for some reason he just wasn't his normal,  cheerful, contrary self. He didn't even feel like talking to Stefanie, his best friend. He needed to get up and DO something! Yep. Something was obviously wrong with him.

"Maybe you should go see the Healers?" Stefanie suggested. Morgan ignored her, which was very unusual for him. He was in deep thought. Stefanie waved a rainbow wing in his face. "Hello? Stefanie to Morgan! Helloooo?"

"Could you just get out of my face for once in your life?!" Morgan yelled. The startled Stefanie backed away, before winging like mad to get away from her strange friend.

"I'm really worried about him, Siria, Stevvanna. What could have gotten into him that he would be like that? To me? I can understand him like that towards Einstein, but..."

"Don't worry Stefanie. We'll go take care of him. You just stay here with Cayla, alright? Don't worry, he'll be fine" Stevvanna assured the perturbed little mini while Siria talked the problem over with Creator Cayla and Scholar Gentile. The two Healers conversed quickly and Siria turned to Stefanie.

"It would seem that your friend is suffering a normal case of spring fever. Happens all the time this year. As a matter of fact, it happened to Stevvanna earlier on."At the mention of her recent mating flight with her mate Oracle, Stevvanna blushed, turning her face a funny shade of purple.

"So he'll be okay?" Stefanie asked. "He won't snap at me once we cure him? Speaking of which, how DO we cure him?"

"Simple"Stevvanna said."You find him a mate. With the combined forces of all the minis who bonded to Brafuntic One who don't want a snappier Morgan around,  it'll be easy."

So the minis set off to find Morgan a mate, and soon! He made a hatchling cry already! And some of the more irratable minis (such as the burgundies) were getting tired of him. Things could get ugly...

"Oracle! I just don't know what to do! He's making life horrible for everyone. Even Duchess and Chenauc are getting annoyed with him, and Duchess is the most
understanding dragon I know, whilst Chenauc can ignore almost anyone! We gotta find him a mate, and quick! I don't need any more complaints, and the Creators are
getting tired of having to deal with petty disputes that he starts!" Stevvanna complained. She was feeling very stressed, and her patience was wearing thin.

"Don't worry, Vanna"her mate assured her."We'll find someone. How 'bout I ask around here? We're bound to have someone interested. I think a certain young mini was looking recently..."He hugged Stevvanna to him in farewell, and flew off to find a few eligible bachelorettes.

Oracle looked around his home. 'Animal male...umm...Maple has a mate...Angelique has a mate...Cleo has a mate...Vina has a mate...Charlotte has a mate...Skyel has a- Skyel dosen't have a mate!'He flew off in search of her and found her at her regular spot, under the Old Pine Tree, sitting, thinking, and daydreaming.  Today, though, her brow was
knotted as if in deep thought.

"Skyel?"Oracle asked. "Are you there?"

"What is it that you want?  Can't you see I'm thinking?  Leave me
alone!"

'She must be sufferring from the same thing as Morgan,' Oracle thought. 'I'll have to get  her over to Brafuntic One's by tricking her somehow...'
"Skyel,"he said, in a voice coated with sugar. "Would you like to come with me over to Brafuntic One's place for some...cake?" He knew she loved cake. He was right.

"Cake?  I love cake!  Let's go!  Lead the way!"

Oracle sent a quick telepathic message to Stevvana.  'Quick- prepare a cake!  I've found a possible mate for Morgan- she's a purple female and her name is Skyel.  She can't resist cake.  If she dosen't see any cake she'll leave asap. Get Morgan to come to the cake-party so they can meet, okay?'

Stevvana replied quickly. 'Okay, we'll get to work on it,'she said.

"Skyel!"Stevvana greeted her cheerily. "How are you?  Come in and have some chocolate-and-strawberry cake!"

"Okay!  Thanks!"Skyel accepted the offer happily.  Then she grew suspicious."How do you know my name?"

Stevvana slapped herself mentally. 'Ugh!' she thought.  "Um...Oracle just told me that he and you were coming over for a visit, and told me your name in the process.  My name's Stevvana, by the way,"she introduced.

Skyel seemed satisfied with the answer and followed Stevvana into the
garden, where they were having the cake-party.

"Stevvana, what's taking so long?  I know you know I can't resist cake,  but waiting for it is not what I'm good at!" a voice called from the picnic cloth set up under a maple tree.  Skyel looked around curiously.  She didn't know anyone else who loved cake as much as she and wanted to know this fellow cake-lover better.
Oracle and Stevvana led her to the picnic table and Stefanie set the gigantic
chocolate-strawberry cake on the cloth. Skyel and Morgan looked at it hungrily and started to devour it.  They were halfway finished with the cake when it thinned out and a hole in the middle started growing.  Skyel and Morgan didn't notice this.  All they knew was that the cake was running out and wanted to get as much of it as possible into themselves.

The kiss was loud.
"OWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!"Skyel and Morgan yelled at the same time.
"Youbitmy lip!"

Oracle and Stevvana gave each other looks which clearly read 'uhoh...'
Skyel was the first to become calm again.  She didn't seem cranky anymore- maybe
the spring fever had suddenly gone away or something.  She seemed mad that Morgan had bit her lip but at the same time she was bouncing with joy. Morgan was licking the blood that had gathered from the minor bite.  He didn't seem too annoyed with Skyel, though, and both Oracle and Stevvana knew it was love when he put his wing around Skyel and asked whether she'd like to take a walk with him in the Minidragon Woods.
Skyel, of course, was delirious with joy and accepted the request immeadiately.

"We're the best matchmakers, aren't we?" Oracle commented.
"That we are,"Stevvana replied, and planted a kiss on Oracle's cheek as Skyel and Morgan flew off together.

Morgan straightened up as Skyel leaned into him. He was truly happy now, and not feeling as restless or disturbed. Could this be what was troubling him all along? Loneliness? A type of loneliness that friends can't cure. Friends. Stefanie! He had been so mean to her! "Skyel?"

A little purple head poked up from under his wing. "Hmm?"Skyel asked.

"I need to go. I have important business to attend to."

"More important than me?"

"I need to apologize to someone."

"Can't you stay here, with me?" Skyel asked, pleading.

"If it wasn't for the friend I need to apoplogize to I wouldn't even be here with you!"Morgan insisted. With this he took off and flew home at top speed, abandoning Skyel in the Woods.
 

"Stefanie? Oh Stefanie, I'm so sorry for the way I've been treating you! Can you forgive me? Please?"Morgan asked, pulling his friend out of their friendly hug.

"I could Morgan. On one condition..."

"Which would be?"Morgan asked, looking hard at his friend, the gears in his head turning like mad.

"You need to go back to your mate, who you were supposed to be spending time with right now and make her feel better than she probably feels after being abandoned by you!" Stefanie growls at him. Morgan yelps and leaps into the air, flying as fast as he can back to Skyel.

Skyel lies on the leaves of Minidragon Woods, sobbing quietly. It was bad enough having been abandoned by her first bondmate, but this? Morgan lands softly behind his sobbing mate, and approaches her slowly. He puts his wings around her and kisses her softly on the cheek. Skyel looks up to him, and sees that he really does love her, and knows that she really does love him. She returns his kiss, and they snuggle together.
