I was sunbathing on a rock, happily curled up and watching the strange dragon. It sometimes disappeared and would come back with fish, but i didn't see how it could fly with no wings. My guess was that it could fly without wings, sort of like a whispering death. I had been free for a day or two. No human had come after me, nor toothless, for that matter.

I guess I deserved it. I hurt him so why would he come after me? It made me me feel strange inside. Almost... Sad?

I inwardly groaned at how i had hurt him in my rage.

The strange dragon came and brushed up against my side. It was an odd dragon creature. It once again dropped fish in front of my head, but i wasn't hungry. It stood in front of my head for a moment, staring down at me. I closed my eyes for a moment and something softly landed on my head. It sniffed and opened my eyes.

DRAGON GRASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I took a deep breath of the dragon grass into my nose. It smelled super good. Like the smell of an afternoon rainstorm in a grassy field. (or like catnip if you know what catnip smells like)

I opened my mouth in a yawn, trying to shake off the drowsiness from sunbathing.

I should name the Dragon thing...

Maybe Derp? Or Cookie? Nah.

Perhaps Luci, The girl version of the name Lucifer?

Hmm.

Nah, that didn't quite fit the sheep-brain-dragon-thing.

The best thing I had come up with so far was Derp.

Yeah!!! I would call it Derp! Why not?

Circling the dragon-thingy, I said in a singsong voice, "Derp! Derp! You're name is Derp!" Suddenly in the mood to play a game, I shoved Derp. "TAG! YOU'RE IT!" I yelled and ran a fair distance away.

To my everlasting disappointment, Derp did not come after me.

Oh well. I guess we would have to play a different game...................AHA! I would poke Derp until it got annoyed! I slowly sauntered over to Derp and poked it. I poked it again. And again. And again. Until I was ferociously poking Derp.

To My everlasting disappointment, I got no reaction out of derp.

Looks like I would have to change games again.

Since Derp wasn't playing along, I decided I would have to make the game revolve around derp. Maybe........... I looked around me for something to use to play with Derp. A tree? NO. A stick? NO. A river? NO. A leaf? NO. Wait! A river! I could try to get Derp over to the river. It was perfect! I would try to get Derp into the river! But I had to set some rules first!

Rule 1. I couldn't hurt Derp.

Rule 2. Rule 1 was optional.

Perfect. Now that I had the ground rules laid out, let the game begin!

I stealthily got up and hid behind a tree. I leapt into the tall untamed grass around the small clearing we were in. Keeping hidden, I crept behind Derp and got into a playful stocking position. I lowered my body so that it was almost but not quite touching the ground. My tail swished back and forth with anticipation. My eyes trained on the target, I readied myself to spring.

GO!

I leapt forward and into the air, my course set for Derp. But then it dawned on me. Derp was fragile. What was I doing? Rule 1 said that I couldn't hurt Derp. But I wanted to play, so I was putting rule 2 into effect.

"Cannonball!" I screamed to Derp.

I crashed into Derp and instinctively wrapped my wings around it to protect it from the impact of the fall. We rolled several times and then suddenly there was nothing. Nothing above or below us. I closed my eyes into the short fall and then SPLASH! We had rolled in to the river. I did it! I won! I got Derp into the river! I bounced up to the surface of the water, and looked around for Derp so I could gloat. What I saw instead of Derp sent shivers to my bone and made my heart skip a beat. By breath hitched in my throat as I trembled from shock.

Eh. Dragon grass. Whatever.

I didn't get why some dragons liked it. Dragon grass just didn't affect me.

I shook the dragon grass off my snout and slowly stood up. I yawned and shook myself to wake myself from the drowsiness that sunbathing usually brought. I spotted a freshwater stream nearby.

I stretched my wings and drowsily walked over to the river. I slowly started submerging myself, first with the feet and slowly working my way to my head. I rested my head on a dry rock on the side of the river, trying to keep water from getting into my eyes. In the river I stayed, enjoying the pleasure it brought me. That is, until something hit me.

Off my snout bounced a rock. I opened one eye and glared grouchily at The-sheep-brain-dragon-thing. The moment I closed my eye again, another rock hit my nose.

"THAT'S IT! YOU'RE ON!" I roared at The-sheep-brain-dragon-thing. I grabbed a small rock from the shore of the river with the tip my tail. I flung it at the The-sheep-brain-dragon-thing and ducked my head under the water as another rock flew my way. As a hail of small rocks flew my way, I ducked completely under the water and let myself be carried a few feet downstream where tall grass blocked my view of the The-sheep-brain-dragon-thing. I got out of the river and circled around the The-sheep-brain-dragon-thing to get behind it.

"SURPRISE ATTACK!" I ROARED AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS

I bumped into The-sheep-brain-dragon-thing with my hip, trying to be gentle. It fell over anyway.

Looks like I would have to help it up. I grabbed The-sheep-brain-dragon-thing by the scruff of the neck and pulled. It was as light as a father and the unnecessary force I put behind the pull sent me falling backwards. I rolled over onto my side and peered at the thing in my mouth. It was limp and floppy. I shot to my feet, leaving The-sheep-brain-dragon-thing where it was. I stared down at it in shock. Either it was shedding it's scales like a snake or I had just killed it. I looked around, hoping for The-sheep-brain-dragon-thing to be okay or someone to help. My gaze landed on the spot, a mere few feet away from me, where the sight that met me made my blood run cold. My vision blurred and my breath hitched in my throat. My heart skipped a beat as I looked from The-sheep-brain-dragon-thing to the sight before me.

Dragon grass. No no no no no no no no. This was bad. By oden's beard, this was really bad. I was highly allergic to dragon grass.

I shook the dragon grass off my face as I felt the familiar tingle of a sneeze threaten my nose. I ran to the closest source of water, a freshwater river near me, and plunged my nose into it. Bubbles floated to the surface of the water as I sneezed an enormous sneeze. I pulled my head from the water to breathe in deeply before another sneeze overtook me. As another sneeze came on in a mere moment, I plunged my head back into the water. Despite the cold of the river, my face started heating up as if it was on fire from the reaction. I could see pink slowly spread from the tip of my nose and work its way toward my eyes. I closed my eyes as the heat and color spread over my scales, engulfing my body in pink. I yanked my head out of the water. I immediately sneezed four more times and groaned as my scales suddenly felt cold like ice. This time, this reaction started from the tip of my tail. I watched in shock as blue started turning my newly pink scales blue. I hadn't had a reaction this bad since I was a dragon cub. I shook violently as various colors spread over me, causing me to feel odd emotions. The reaction stopped on bright red and I was suddenly VERY VERY VERY mad at the-sheep-brained-dragon-thing.

But before I could do anything destructive, I remembered the cure for my allergy. I simply needed to swallow some freshwater fish to nullify the effect the grass had on me. If I followed the river downstream, there would probably be a lake or something that I could find freshwater fish in.

But I wouldn't HAVE to go downstream in the first place if the sheep-brain-dragon-thing hadn't brought me dragon nip. In my rage, I shot a plasma blast at the feet of the stupid headed dragon. It exploded into vibrant purples and blues, leaving the grass scorched in its wake. I shot another plasma blast, this time it landed in the tall dry grass. A small patch of the dry grass caught on fire before the stupid headed dragon raced over to stomp it out. That gave me a cruel and vicious idea. I spat dragon saliva, the flammable kind that made plasma blasts possible, onto my feet. I then shot another plasma blast at the ground and walked in it while it was still lit. My feet, caught on fire, spread the burning inferno where I walked. I walked around the stupid headed dragon, trapping it in a circle of fire. Seeing it twist and turn, looking for a way out filled me with cruel pleasure.

The color brown slowly started seeping its way across my scales. I was suddenly filled with regret. The poor dragon thing didn't know any better. It was only trying to help me. I walked through the fire circle and approached the sad little dragon thing. It backed away from me and I realized...

My feet were still on fire. And the poor little dragon thing was scarred of fire.

I stomped at the ground but the fire didn't go out. In fact, it only spread more. Flinging the dragon-thing onto my back, I jumped over the raging flames. I dashed for the river, hoping that the dragon-thing stayed in my back. Out of the fire and out of breath, I sat down. The dragon thing slid off my back and I turned to look at it. What I saw instead made my teeth come out and my claws extend. My breath hitched in my throat as my eyes turned into slits.
