Cousins Delimina

Inside the bedroom at the dragon castle, Nightshade was in her bed, having a wonderful dream. At most night she be dreaming about her favorite Lycane pony Timber Night Wolf where he was giving her flowers, but this dream was about her walking in an open field that was made of yummy sweet. The lake was made of chocolate milk, the grass was string twister, and the very rock she was sitting on was a giant marshmallow. Nightshade was enjoying the dream so much, but it was over until someone was calling her name. Nightshade started to open one of her eyes, and see who the one dare bother her from her sleep. Nightshade notice her little sister Lavender was standing by the side of her bed. Nightshade stare at her little sister with a stern look in her eyes and cover herself with her blanket. Lavender is annoyed with her older sister acting like a baby when it come of getting out of bed and go to school. Lucky for her that she got a backup plan, which always work all the time. Lavender grab her backpack and pull out her secret weapon, which was her older sister favorite chocolate cover nutty bar that only sold at their school. When she removed the wrapping, and threw it in mid-air, her older sister jump out from her bed and chomp down the candy bar like a shark. Nightshade was able to safely land on the floor without getting hurt, but she didn't care that much since she was enjoying eating her favorite candy bar. Lavender couldn't help herself but laugh at her older sister a bit, until she found the words to talk to her.

Lavender: I know we both like watching shark week Nightshade, but seeing you jump out of bed like that, make the other shark a bunch of amateur.

Nightshade: if you dare think I'm a size of a shark, you know I breathe fire on you, and send you somewhere cold, or the middle of the dessert.

Lavender: easy sis, you know I'm just playing with you. No need to do anything crazy.

Nightshade: whatever, just tell me what today agenda, before I head for the showers.

Lavender: ... sigh, straight to the point as always. Well today is Friday, so that mean you got an important science test later in the afternoon. As for me, I got a history at the same time, so don't expect me to help you cheat on the test again.

Nightshade: dear sister, what make you think I'm going to ask my little sister cheat for me. I mean all I ever do is help you with a lot of important things, and.

Lavender: alright, alright. I get what you’re doing sis. I see if I find a way to help you study before the big test. After that, you’re on your own.

Nightshade: please and thank you as always little sis. Is there anything else I need to know?

Lavender: .... well, there is one that I forgot to mention, but you might not like the news.

Nightshade: please, whatever you’re going to tell me, is nowhere worst then waking me up from my favorite dream.

Just when she was about to open a special door that lead to her personal bathroom, Nightshade bumped into something soft, and landed on the floor. Nightshade was rubbing her buns when hitting, but was curious of what made her fell in the first place. She look and notice a very tall and orange female dragon standing in front of the bathroom doorway, while wearing some bath towels. The tall orange dragon look at Nightshade and was pleased to see her, before Nightshade could say anything else, the orange dragon pick her up from the floor, and gave her a big hug.

Pumpkin Spice: cousin Shadie, it so good to see you again. I know it been a year since we last seen each other, but it feel like forever seeing one of my favorite older cousin.

Nightshade: ....... well it good to see you too, but would you mind telling me who you are exactly.

Pumpkin Spice: come on cousin Shadie, don't you recognize your little cousin Pumpkin Spice. You know, the one you always call shorty.

Nightshade: you, Pumpkin Spice. There is no way you’re her. Pumpkin was a total shortcake.

Lavender: actually sis, which is Pumpkin Spice you’re looking at. She just gotten a total growth spurt

Nightshade: .... please tell me this is some sort of sick joke, or at least a *she was cut short when Pumpkin gave her another hug*

Pumpkin Spice: it no joke cousin Shadie, I was able to have a growth spurt over the summer, and now I'm not the shortcake anymore. But I have no problem for you to still call me that.

Nightshade: ......

Pumpkin Spice: um, cousin Shadie are you feeling alright?

Lavender: she fine, but you might want to let her go, before she loses some air. Being squished between your very large breast sorts of make a person feel dizzy.

Pumpkin Spice understand what her cousin was saying, and let Nightshade free from her hug. Nightshade was relief that she was able to breath, but still can't believe that her little cousin this big. Pumpkin Spice gotten a bit close to Nightshade side, and see if her favorite was alright.

Pumpkin Spice: sorry for hugging you like that cousin Shadie. I'm still getting use to my new source of strength.

Nightshade: .... sigh, don't worry that much about Pumpkin. At least you didn't break my back *she stretch her back a little* yet. But I still need to know what brought you here, and why are you doing in my private bathroom. Everyone know that my bathroom is my personal space, and no one isn't alone to go in there.

Lavender: well first of all Pumpkin Spice parents drop her off last night. They were going on an important business trip that will keep them busy for a while.

Nightshade: exactly how much a while?

Pumpkin Spice: a whole year actually.

Nightshade: ..... Come again?

Pumpkin Spice: she telling the truth. Pumpkin folks already drop her stuff off at the guest room. She also going the same school with us as well.

Nightshade: you telling me we have to deal with Pumpkin the whole year *she look at her, and notice that she picked up the candy she found the floor* you know Pumpkin is weird.

Lavender: I know Pumpkin is a bit ... weird at time, but she also family, and family have to stick together.

Nightshade: ....

Lavender: and mother said if we don't keep an eye on her, she will ground us for life..... And take away your junk food privileges for good.

Nightshade: ......... alright fine! I make sure to be on my best behavior.

Pumpkin Spice: *she hug her cousin* I can't wait to hang out with my cousin at school.

Nightshade: yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm excited as well, but if you don't mind me for a moment. I would to have my nice hot shower, before we head for school.

Lavender: oh about that sis. Pumpkin Spice being using your personal bathroom this morning, since the guest bathroom is still under works.

Nightshade: she did, so that mean my perfect bathroom *she look behind her cousin and notice the place was complete mess, even her shower was cover in mud* is a pig style.

Pumpkin Spice: *she blush* sorry cousin Shadie, I promise to clean up the place, before we go to school.

Nightshade: no need Pumpkin, I just use the other bathroom instead.

After going to the secondary bathroom to use the cold shower. Nightshade, Lavender and their cousin Pumpkin Spice were walking together on the sidewalk, heading for school. Pumpkin Spice and Lavender both have some conversation with each other, trying to catch on things. Nightshade on the other hand is doing her best to catch, but having a hard time moving since her stomach so full eating five plate of pancakes. Lavender look at her older sister, and said a remark about her eating so much pancakes.

Lavender: I still can't believe you eat five plate of pancakes like that Nightshade. You usually eat at least three.

Nightshade: ugh, I know Lavender, but I can't be out beat by shortcake.

Lavender: well that because Pumpkin had to twice as more than we do sis.

Pumpkin Spice: Lavi right cousin Shadie. The doctor said that I have to eat twice as more than most people. Even with the food I eaten, most of the weight gone straight to these pillows on my chest.

Nightshade: *she stare at her cousin huge breast, but soon she know it, she started to feel sick again*

Lavender: easy sis, you know how you get when you get mad.

Nightshade: I know how to control my lunch thank you very much.

Pumpkin Spice: hey guys, how far is this school anyway? This is the first time I'm going there, and I don't want to mess up on my first day.

Nightshade: the school is not too far from where we are. Just a few blocks and we there.

Lavender: and don't worry about messing up on your first day. All you have to do is listen both of us, and you will do fine.

Pumpkin Spice: Ok then! I make sure to listen everything you guys say. I just can't wait to make a lot of friends at the school. Maybe I show them my candy wrappers collection, that always a start.

Nightshade, and Lavender both face palm of what Pumpkin said, knowing it going to be a long school year. While they walk down the street, they finally reach the school ground where most of the students are heading inside for class. Pumpkin Spice was super excited to get inside, but Nightshade stop her for a moment by pulling her tail.

Pumpkin Spice: why did you stop me cousin Shadie?

Nightshade: sorry for that shortcake, but are you forgetting something important.

Pumpkin Spice: what that?

Lavender: your glasses sweetheart. You know how you are without your glasses, especially when you trip on stuff and hurt your nose.

Pumpkin Spice: oh come on guys, I'm big girl now. I don't need my glasses anymore. Also, I haven't trip on anything for the past few *before she could said another word to them, she over a small and fell to the ground. She pick herself up, but notice her nose blending*

Nightshade: *she rolls her eyes knowing that she right, but she act like a responsible cousin, and gave Pumpkin a tissue* I promise not to say those four words, if you promise to wear your glasses at all time.

Pumpkin Spice: * she does her best not cry and grab the tissue from her cousin.* Thank you cousin Shadie.

Nightshade: no problem. Now put your glasses on.

Pumpkin Spice: ok *she grab her glasses that she kept between her breast and put them on* I feel like dork with them on

Lavender: at least it keep you from falling on the floor. Why you took them off the first place?

Pumpkin Spice: to look cool like you and cousin Shadie.

Lavender:, the only thing she is cool at the school, is eating the most chacolate pudding.

Nightshade: that an honorable record Lavi, and don't forget it. Besides shortcake. it going to take more then having no glasses on to look cool.

Pumpkin Spice: it is, but I read something in the magazine saying wearing glasses make you a nerd.

Nightshad: that one thing you made a mistake there, is reading those things. Just stick with me, and you be popular in no time.

Lavender: maybe you might save that for later sis.

Nightshade: and why is that?

Lavender: we have a minor problem by the school entrance.

Nightshade look to see what going on, and notice a little commotion by the main entrance. Nightshade saw two of her friends being pick on by a female shark with braces, while company by twin German shepherd sisters. Nightshade already knew who the shark was, just annoyed she was picking on her friends. Pumpkin Spice was a bit curious of what going on. So she ask Lavender to see what up.

Pumpkin Spice: is something a matter Lavi. I never seen Shadie like that.

Lavender: oh Nightshade is alright. It just push off that Britney Fears is picking on someone.

Pumpkin Spice: who Britney Fear?

Nightshade: it just silly nickname Brigitte like to herself. She think it would scar the students to hand over their lunch money easily. If you ask me, she would have think of one better.

Lavender: Nightshade, I hope you’re not going to anything dumb. You already on the headmistress warning probation already.

Nightshade: I'm not going to do anything wrong Lavi. I'm just going to ask her to back off from my friends, and tell her not to do it again.

Lavender was trying to stop her older sister, but she was already, and heading for trouble. At the main entrance of the school, shark bully Britney Fear was getting ready to beat up Tira Bright and Timber Night Wolf, while her two twin German shepherd sisters Molly, and Dolly cheering on their boss. Tira Bright was doing her best standing behind Timber, so that he won't get hurt from Britney. Tira wish that she was in her dragon pony form to face her off, but it was bad timing that she be stuck as her normal Pegasus self. Britney was laughing to herself knowing this was going to be an easy one, she even started bragging for a moment.

Britney: well mates, it look like the great Britney Fear was able to capture some straw fish in my net, and these two are going to be easy picking.

Molly: you said it boss!

Dolly: easy picking indeed!

Tira Bright: give us a break Britney. We already gave you our lunch money. How about let us go, before we be late for class.

Britney: *she lower her face to have better view of Tira* oh I know you gave me your lunch money, but I still owe you something for the remark you made to me last week, and I'm someone that doesn't like when someone make fun of me behind my back.

Tira Bright: whatever it is, I'm sorry for the comment, but my friend Timber shouldn't be here for this.

Britney: Timber is part of this too. So be prepared to get your face messed up.

Nightshade: how about not, bubble butt.

Britney stun for a moment when she heard someone call her a name she haven't heard for a long time. She turn around to see who said that, but was shock to see Nightshade from a distance. Britney was surprised to see Nightshade again, so surprised that she was lost in words. Nightshade was looking at her and her two lackeys for a moment, before she call out Britney real name.

Nightshade: hello Brigitte, how you and your two friends are doing?

Britney: oh we doing just fine Nightshade. Me and the girls were having a nice little chat with these two students.

Nightshade: .... a nice chat you say? Are you sure you weren't trying to harm my two friends that are in front of you.

Britney: your friends? Oh dear, I didn't know these two were your friends. I'm deeply sorry about that. I thought for sure they were random kids that asking for directions.

Nightshade: uh huh, well if you don't mind doing me a favor to let my friends go, and give them back their lunch money as well.

Britney: but

Nightshade: *she glare at her* do it, or I tell everyone about your dirty little secret.... bubble butt!

Britney knew that Nightshade wasn't bluffing and did what she said. Britney gave back the money she took from Nightshade friends, and left them alone. Nightshade stare at Britney for a second, until she was gone. Relief the situation was over, and walk over to her friends, but she concentrated more on Timber Night Wolf, by giving a big hug.

Nightshade: oh poor Timber Wimber, in was so worry that you gotten hurt by that big meanie.

Timber Night Wolf: Timber perfectly fine Nightshade. Timber just grateful that Tira was protecting Timber from danger.

Nightshade: you call that protection. I could have done a much better job.

Tira Bright: I would have, but I was stuck in my Pegasus form.

Nightshade: you still have no control your abilities yet. I mean come on already, you’re a daughter of powerful creatures, and have no clue of controlling your dragon pony yet.

Tira Bright: I'm still new to it, ok. Not all of us are talented you know.

Nightshade: whatever you said half breed. Just be lucky that Brigitte won't harm you guys while I'm here.

Tira Bright: I'm still surprise that you use to be friends with her back in middle school.

Nightshade: well it was a long time ago really. Before I met Timber, Brigitte, and I were really close. We use to hang out together, and being number one bullies that no one can't mess with. But I was sort of tired of people being afraid of me, and I wanted to change my life a bit.

Timber Night Wolf: but once you started hanging out with Timber, Britney is all mad at Timber for breaking your friendship.

Nightshade: Brigitte always act like a baby, who need to grow up. Now can we forget about her, I want to get inside, and get this whole day *she was cut off again when Pumpkin Spice gave her a hug* what the

Pumpkin Spice: cousin Shadie, you was so cool stopping that bully

Nightshade: shortcake! What did I say about hugging me in public?

Pumpkin Spice: oh right! Never hug you, when your friends are around. I will drop you down now.

Nightshade: no wait *She fell to the ground hard, after Pumpkin let her go* ouch, that really hurt.

Lavender: well you should have been careful of what you was saying sis.

Nightshade: well you should have kept an extra eye on her.

Lavender rolls her eyes and look at Tira and Timber, but she noticed that they were starting at Pumpkin Spice height. Lavender stand between them, so she can bring them back to reality.

Lavender: you two doing alright, or are you a little spook to meet my cousin Pumpkin Spice.

Tira Bright: that Pumpkin Spice!

Timber Night Wolf: as in Nightshade little cousin.

Pumpkin Spice: hi there, my name is Pumpkin Spice, Shadie, and Lavi little cousin. I hope we become good friends.

Tira Bright: um, it good to meet you too Pumpkin Spice, my name is Tira Bright.

Timber Night Wolf: Timber Night is my name. It nice to meet you.

Pumpkin Spice: oh you’re Timber that cousin Shadie talk about. Have she never tell you about her secret shrine she have about you.

Timber Night Wolf: a secret shrine of Timber?

Nightshade: *she walk right next to Pumpkin and start pushing her* well look at the time. We going to be late for classes. Come on shortcake, we need to get going, before we get in more trouble.

Pumpkin Spice: but I was trying to make friends cousin Shadie.

Nightshade: later we do that.

Nightshade kept on pushing her cousin inside the school, before her friends had the chance to finish talking. Later in the day at the science classroom, most of the students were getting ready to head for their next classes. Nightshade was sitting on her desk looking at the grade she got on her test paper. Nightshade was very lucky that she gotten a B plus on the test, she was happy that Lavender was able to help her study quick before the big test. Nightshade wish was more excited about her good grade, but her mind was still agitated of dealing with her cousin Pumpkin Spice most of day. She still remember that Pumpkin Spice followed her almost everywhere she go, even was this close gone inside the same bathroom stall. Nightshade like her cousin, but she having a limit dealing with her weirdness. While her mind still thinking about Pumpkin Spice, her little sister Lavender stop by the classroom to see if her older sister was able to pass the test.

Lavender: sup sis. I figure I stop by to see you, before I head for my next class. How the test went?

Nightshade: Oh I did good, B plus, and everything.

Lavender: that great, but it doesn't sound like you’re excited with the grade you got there.

Nightshade: it not about the grade, it our cousin shortcake is the problem.

Lavender: what wrong with shortcake, did something happen to her while I was in classes.

Nightshade: not really, she just been a pain on my chubby butt all day. I mean I love her alot, but shortcake is getting on my last nerve already.

Lavender: come on sis, you know Pumpkin Spice look up to you all the time. She just trying to be cool like her older cousin.

Nightshade: I know, but there a certain limitations I have with people, and shortcake is reaching that point.

Lavender: .... sigh, look sis, I wasn't meant to tell you this, because I kept a promise to someone. But I guess you have the right to know.

Nightshade: and what is that do tell?

Lavender: her parents aren't on a business trip, they are having a divorce.

Nightshade: what! I shortcake parents are breaking up. Since when?

Lavender: for a while really. Pumpkin Spice parents haven't been talking that much with each other, and they decided to call it quits.

Nightshade: I see, does shortcake know about their divorce?

Lavender: a little bit. She may act weird at time, but she does know when something is wrong. She just big enough to understand that her parents aren't happy with each other.

Nightshade: I guess it make sense right there, but I still like to know why you didn't tell me about this sooner.

Lavender: because mom told me not to say anything about it. She know how you are when you get upset hearing these things. Mom doesn't want you to cause anymore problems that already worse than it is right now.

Nightshade: ..... I hate it when she right.

Lavender: and beside, mom want us to treat Pumpkin Spice a normal life right now, and the only person she look up to for that normal life is you.

Nightshade: me! why is have to be me, and not you?

Lavender: because Pumpkin Spice see you more than just a cousin, she think of you like a big sister.

Nightshade: she think of me as a big sister!

Lavender: Yeah. She always want to copy everything you do. Act cool like you, try to dress cool, and even go everywhere you like to hang out at.

Nightshade : ......

Lavender: look sis, I'm sorry for not telling you about this sooner. Mom want you not to know about it too much, cause I want you to act normal around Pumpkin, instead of treating her like a baby.

Nightshade: it no problem Lavi, I guess it would make sense not to tell me. I just feel like a total jerk now. She barely have anyone other than us. All I care about is.

Lavender: let me finish this part for you sis. Me,me, and ..... Oh yeah, Me!

Nightshade: ok, I get the picture. You know I can be a total sassy dragon whenever I please, right.

Lavender: and that why we love you.

Nightshade: right, now I have to and search for shortcake and tell her how sorry I am.

Lavender: wait a second, she is not with you.

Nightshade: no, she said she wanted to go to the cafeteria and get me a soda.

Lavender: *face palm* sis. You know we can't leave her on her own. Pumpkin Spice have very bad at direction, especially when you showed her a few dozen times.

Nightshade: come on Lavi, she can't be that bad

Lavender: ......

Nightshade: ..... Sigh, why I even bother. Alright, I go look for her. Besides, I have to find her, before she get caught by Brigitte, or the mysterious student that everyone scared of.

Lavender: you mean the white wolf with the weird blood like eyes. What so mysterious about her?

Nightshade: I heard from Timber that the wolf girl lived in the woods by herself, until his mother, and Tira grandfather ask her to join our school. Some of the students said that she done some serious dark magic that turn anyone into her mindless slaves. Another student said that she make potions that cause some serious effects to the person body.

Lavender: sis, you know all that stuff you’re saying is not true.

Nightshade: I have a friend who is a Pegasus that can transform into a dragon. So believe me for saying this, you can't just trust anything these days.

Lavender was going to make her last statement with her sister, but Nightshade already ran off searching for Pumpkin Spice. Somewhere at the other side of the school, Pumpkin Spice was walking down the hallway m, figuring out where she was. She know she made a few left and right turn to go back the classroom her cousin was, but so far she kept on going the wrong way. Pumpkin Spice sigh to herself knowing that got herself lost again. Part of her want to cry and ask for help like she does when she was little, it part of didn't want to do that, since she want to impress her favorite cousin. Pumpkin Spice kept on walking, hoping she find the way back. During her walk, Pumpkin Spice heard some voices in the background and heard one of the voice that sound familiar to her. Pumpkin Spice wasn't sure they were going to be friendly, so she try to find a way to hide herself. She did her best to hind behind a trash can, hoping they don't see her. Pumpkin Spice look and notice Britney the female shark her cousin talk to, and her two German shepherd twin friends were following her. Pumpkin Spice knew that she need to stay hidden or else she would pick on her for sure. Pumpkin Spice was able to hear some stuff of what Britney was saying to the twins.

Britney: curse that sassy dragon Nightshade, can't believe me made me look like a fool back there.

Molly: no worries boss, you well get her next time, for sure.

Dolly: yeah, you’re a lot tougher than her.

Britney: of course I'm a lot tougher then her. The only thing that made me nervous around her, is that she know about my dark secret.

Molly: I wonder what sort of dark secret the boss is talking about, Dolly.

Dolly: no clue, the boss barely said a word about her secret, except about the whole thing with bubble or something.

Britney: or maybe I should hit two little puppies that need to stop talking about it.

Molly & Dolly: sorry boss, we stop talking about it now.

Britney: that more like it. Now I need you two to help me think up a better idea of how to get my payback with Nightshade.

Molly: how about we prank her by destroying one of her favorite treat?

Dolly: yeah, that would teach her a lesson.

Britney: good, but a bad idea. I know how she act when someone mess with her food. She would easily barbecue me in second.

Dolly: then how about her little sister. We kidnapped her, and teach her a lesson by painting her claws pink.

Britney: well I guess that would be a start, but what about that very tall, and busty dragon that was with them.

Molly: you mean that cute orange dragon that every guy going crazy for.

Dolly: I heard rumors that she was Nightshade little cousin, and she starting school here next week.

Britney: Nightshade cousin huh, then that mean she had no clue who I really am yet.

Molly: yeah, you can use her instead to teach Nightshade a lesson.

Britney: *she laugh* no doubt, but it go on no to be hard to get to her, since she could be with Nightshade all day.

Just after she said those words, Britney was able to hear a loud sneeze behind her. Britney behind her, and notice the tall orange dragon hiding the trash can, who trying her best to clean both the mucous from her nose, and the drool from her mouth. Britney smiled with a sinister look on her face, knowing that she going to have some fun with her victim. When Pumpkin Spice try to clean herself up, she hear a whistle from a distant and to see Britney and her two lackeys. Pumpkin Spice was a bit speechless, knowing that she was in a lot of trouble. She want to get up and run for help, but she was so petrified that her legs gave up on her already. Britney was happy to see that the big orange dragon was so scared, that this was going to be easy picking. She order the two twin sisters to stand right next with the dragon, making sure she doesn't get away.

Britney: well, well, well. It look like we caught ourselves a big fish girl *she glare at Pumpkin Spice* a big fish who afraid of a shark.

Pumpkin Spice: please, don't hurt me. If I did anything wrong, I'm very sorry.

Britney: oh you haven't done anything wrong. The only thing you did wrong, is being a cousin of my enemy.

Molly: yeah, and once you’re an enemy of the boss.

Dolly: you’re an enemy for good * she laugh*

Pumpkin Spice: but what wrong being Shadie cousin for. She a really good dragon.

Britney: she was a good dragon to me, but now it personal between us. So I'm putting all my personal grudges on you.

Pumpkin Spice: what you’re going to do with me?

Britney: *she pull out a permanent marker* I guess I write some few mean on you, so your cousin know what a perfected little dragon you are.

Scared of what she about to do, Pumpkin Spice tries to run away, but still kept down thanks to Britney henchpups. Britney was getting close to Pumpkin Spice arm and ready to write some rude, but she was cut off when she hear some music echoing the hallway. Britney and her friends were looking around to see where the music was coming from. One of Britney friends was going to say something, but interrupted by a mysterious voice singing.

Mysterious voice: Come, little children. I'll take thee away. Into the land of enchantment.

Molly: hey boss, who is that singing that song.

Dolly: and why this song sound scary.

Britney: quite you two. It got to be that scary witch with those red eyes. She does this sort of thing scare people off.

Britney look down the hallway and seen some mist starting to gather, filling up the entire hallway. Britney try to see if anyone was in the mist, but it was so thick, it was hard to see anything at all. One of the twin was able to see something in the mist, but too scared to say anything. Even her twin sister was acting the same way. Britney was getting annoyed with this situation, and figure to go face the witch instead.

Molly & Dolly: boss, what are you thinking? Don't do this.

Britney: I got to do this, no one mess with my revenge, and get away with *she was cut short when she saw two glowing red eyes floating in the mist* this.

Mysterious voice: Come, little children. The times's come to play. Here in my garden of shadows.

Britney was starting to sweat a lot when she see the glowing red eyes getting close to her, and the song getting louder. Britney also notice a floating hand appear from the mist, having it close bopping her nose.

Mysterious voice: Follow sweet children, I'll show you the way. Through all the pain and the sorrows *boop Britney nose*

Britney skin was pure white of what just happened, and started screaming her lungs out. She started running the opposite direction of the hallway, getting away from the evil. Molly, and Dolly did the same thing, leaving Pumpkin Spice behind. Pumpkin Spice look at the glowing red eyes and was scared something will bad happen to her too. She closed her eyes wishing that someone help her, even calling Nightshade name several time. Just when she think her life was over. Pumpkin Spice open her eyes and see that nothing bad happened to her. She look and saw a female wolf with white fur was standing in front of her. Pumpkin Spice wasn't if she should be afraid, but she sense that this wolf wasn't doing anything bad, and figure she could be a friend. The white wolf with the red eyes stare at Pumpkin Spice and gave her a gentle, then ask her to see if she was alright.

Dahlila: hello there miss, are you doing alright?

Pumpkin Spice: I .. I think I'm ok, just a little afraid is all.

Dahlila: well you not need to be afraid of me, I'm here to help you.

Pumpkin Spice: you are, so that whole entire mist, and strange music was your doing then?

Dahlila: yes it was, I'm just glad that my little trick I did on that bully shark, and her friends work really well.

Pumpkin Spice: I'm glad too. Thank you so much for saving my life back there miss.

Dahlila: you can call me Dahlila, and it was no problem at all really. I rarely help anyone before since most people afraid of me.

Pumpkin Spice: why that, you don't look scary to me.

Dahlila: oh just silly rumors is all. Not to worry about it that much. But as for you though, I think it about time you head back to class before you be late. I need to get going, before I be late as well.

Pumpkin Spice: hold on a second, do you think we become friend?

Dahlila: ... you want to be friends?

Pumpkin Spice: sure, well if you want that is. The reason why I'm asking is that I don't really have any friends at all. I'm an only child with two parents who barely look at me for one minute. Even it been hard for me that my folks are having a divorce, and left me alone. Not wanting to do with me *her eyes started to tear up* I feel like I can't do anything right, like I always mess things up all the time. I feel like it my fault that my mom, and dad are breaking.

She try to say more, but the tears was taking more control of her emotions then she was planning. Dahlila stood quite for a moment, until she gave Pumpkin Spice the answer.

Dahlila: sure, I have no problem being your friend.

Pumpkin Spice: really!

Dahlila: *she smile* I don't have many friends to tell you the truth. I mainly stay on my own, and not a big expert on social things. But I have no problem being your friend.

Pumpkin Spice: thank you Dahlie!

Dahlila: but before we become friends, I need you to make a promise for me.

Pumpkin Spice: what sort of promise?

Dahlila: promise that you have confidence in yourself, and never say that you’re a mistake. Everyone is important to someone life. I bet someone out there is worrying about you this second searching for you.

Pumpkin Spice wasn't sure what she meant at the end, but before she can ask her, Pumpkin Spice hear a familiar voice from, and see it was her cousin Nightshade was looking for her. Pumpkin Spice was happy to see her cousin again, and was excited to give her a hug. She look back to Dahlila, but notice that she was gone. Pumpkin Spice was wondering where she went, but figure she must the gone to class. While she was thinking about Dahlila for a moment, she saw Nightshade standing right next to her, but breathing heavily after running so much. Nightshade hate to run like that, but she happy that she was lucky to find her little cousin. After catching her breath, Nightshade was plan to scream at her cousin for being a pain of a butt, she look at her, and notice that Pumpkin Spice been afraid entire time, and saw tears dripping from her eyes. Nightshade calm down for a moment, and remember that she need to cool of what she going to say.

Nightshade: shortcake, did you have any idea how much I worried about you. I thought you gotten yourself lost again, and get caught by some bullies, or something.

Pumpkin Spice: I'm sorry Shadie, I didn't meant to make you upset. I was only trying to get you a drink after a long test you was taking.

Nightshade: .... well it was nice of you doing that for me, but you should have known better to leave my side like that.

Pumpkin Spice: I know, and I'm sorry.

Nightshade: ..... Sigh, look shortcake ..... I mean Pumpkin Spice. I know what you been doing all day. Are you trying to impress me, so that I feel proud of you?

Pumpkin Spice: *she blush* maybe a little cousin Shadie.

Nightshade: you know you don't need to do that Pumpkin Spice. I'm already proud of you for being who you are.

Pumpkin Spice: you are?

Nightshade: yes Pumpkin, sure you’re a pain in the side, but you’re the pain in the side that I care too much about.

Pumpkin Spice was pleased to hear what her cousin said to her. She was starting to cry more, and hug her cousin even more.

Pumpkin Spice: thank you so much mom. You have no idea how I want to hear that.

Nightshade: hold on, who are you calling me

Nightshade look at Pumpkin Spice, and she was crying in joy, a feeling that been hard for her to get. Nightshade could have finish her sentence, but sigh to herself, and let her cousin say whatever she like. After they were done hugging each other, Nightshade and Pumpkin Spice were walking down the hallway together heading for the nearby restroom. Even though Pumpkin Spice wasn't hurt, but the moment she was in so petrifying, she accidentally wet herself. Since she wasn't wearing any pants at all, Pumpkin Spice does her best to stay very close with Nightshade, so no one can see her. Nightshade be upset with her little cousin for wetting herself, especially ruing a good pair of pants that she lent to her, but she remember that her little cousin went through a lot today, so she just does her best to be a good cousin. While they continue walking down the hallway, Nightshade look down the distance, and notice her little sister Lavender was walking towards her. Nightshade was happy to see, but she notice that Tira Bright, and Timber Night Wolf were right behind her. Nightshade look at Pumpkin Spice, and see her acting nervously, knowing that people going to see her without any pants on. Nightshade understand that Pumpkin Spice didn't want anyone to see her this way. Nightshade wave to her little sister, letting her know that she wanted her to come, and not her other two friends. Lavender told Tira, and Timber to stay behind, so she can talk to Nightshade instead. Once she did that, she reach up to her older sister, and little cousin to see if they were doing alright.

Lavender: thanks goodness that you two are alright. Are you doing ok Pumpkin?

Pumpkin Spice: I'm fine cousin Lavi, just feeling embarrassed seeing other people right now.

Lavender: why are you feeling embarrassed, you know Tira, and Timber are friends.

Nightshade: what Pumpkin Spice is trying to say is that she sort of have a little accdient, and i'm taking her to the restroom to help her clean up.

Lavender: oh! .... Oh! now i see what your talking about Nightshade. But is she at least Pumpkin Spice is doing ok.

Nightshade: Pumpkin Spice is going to be fine. Sure she gotten scared by the bully a bit, but with her favorite cousin around, no one is going to harm her.

Pumpkin Spice: thank you for being a great cousin mommy.

Nightshade: ......... I told you not to call me that shortcake.

Pumpkin Spice: *she hug her* ok mommy

Nightshade: oh i give up.

Lavender laugh at the both of them knowing that things going to be interesting for the rest of the school year.

The End
