Bo and Fael were walking through the Belding Forest wasting time. Well, more like Fael was crawling and Bo was walking. The two were making their way to a safer spot to sleep, as night was fast approaching. Bo knew of a thicket that would be an ideal place to pitch up camp for the night, so thats where they were headed.
Fael was sniffing along the ground, trying to find mice or bugs or something to eat and play with. Bo on the other hand, was wondering what she was going to make for actual supper. Maybe Fael could eat rodents and bugs, but she needed something more substantial and less disgusting.
She walked over to a tree. It had a hole in it that looked big enough for baby Fael to at least just chill in while Bo caught something to cook, so she called him over.
"Hey, Faelbean, commere," Bo said, crouching to the ground. Fael came over happily, his dragon body bounding over sticks and things that littered the forest floor.
"I need you to stay here," Bo said, picking up her baby and sticking him in the hole. Fael looked around, sticking his head up inside the hole and sniffing around. "Good boy," she cooed, kissing his back. "Don't go anywhere!" she called behind her, rushing off to find something yummy.
---
While Bo was off looking for something to eat for dinner, Fael was sniffing around in his little cubbyhole. It smelled like birds and mice--things Fael liked to chase around.
As he was sniffing, he heard something outside. He turned, thinking Bo was coming back, but he didn't see anything. Maybe if he just craned his head out a little he'd see her coming.
He leaned his neck out, looking around. No Bo. :[ But... maybe if he leaned a little further...
The little further was enough for Fael to topple out of the cubby, and he fell face forward into a little pile of leaves. He poked his head up, a few leaves on top of his head, and looked around. He knew he was supposed to be in the hole, but now that he was out, he was going to explore! :D

Edaniel, in his mongoose form, was getting ready to leave the forest and head back to Saelin after a day of exploring. He had been lonely lately, and went out often to occupy his time, now that he didn't have a friend anymore. Just as he rounded a corner (you know, those corners they have in forests) he found himself face to face with the little lavender bastard that had ruined his only friendship; Bo's dragon, Fael.
Edaniel immediately leapt back fearfully, fur standing on end, and growled as threateningly as a mongoose can sound. Apparently it was enough, because the little dragon turned around and walked off. Once Edaniel's heart rate returned to normal, he realized that if the dragon was here, Bo must be here somewhere. Wait, why weren't they together? Solespers were supposed to be inseperable from their dragons. What if something had happened to Bo??
Edaniel hesitated for a second, then started to walk after the dragon, following it at a safe distance. It didn't lead him to Bo. Instead, it lead him to a bizarre creature known as a Twoboe. Edaniel stopped dead, knowing that at night, those things were dangerous. But the stupid little dragon kept walking right up to it!
Edaniel reacted impulsively. He saw the Twoboe rear up on its hind legs threateningly, and then lunge down at Fael with its fangs bared. In a split second Edaniel had transformed into a human and rushed forward. He jumped in front of the idiotic dragon and kicked the Twoboe right in the face.
For one insane moment he felt relieved that he had saved the dragon, and therefore Bo, from certain death, until the now enraged Twoboe turned to him, growling ferociously. Uh oh.

Bo, with her magical Bo-skills had successfully caught a rabbit. Happy about her kill, she walked back to the tree she'd left her little dragon at. Unfortunately, when she got there she noticed Fael wasn't in the little hole she had left him in.
"Fael?" she called, looking around frantically. She knew he couldn't be close, because he was purple and she'd be able to see him if he was in eyesight. "Fael!" she cried louder, her fear mounting. What if something had happened?!
Suddenly, she heard a sort of scream. Edaniel? What was going on here?! She ran towards the voice, hoping that for whatever reason Fael would be with her former best friend. "Edaniel! Fael!" she shouted, running through the woods, not caring about the thorns that scratched her arms as she ran.
Finally she found them, thankfully together. The bad thing was that in the same spot they were, there was also a nasty twoboe. "Shit," was all she said as she sprung into action.
She dropped her rabbit and screamed. "Hey buddy! Look over here!" She moved her feet around, shuffling them in the dry leaves on the ground to get the twoboe's attention. "Hey!"
Finally it looked at her, forgetting for a moment that Edaniel, the one it had been growling at originally, existed at all. It took a few quick steps towards Bo, it's teeth bared.

"Bo!" Edaniel probably shouldn't have been surprised to see Bo, considering he'd been looking for him and all, but in the heat of the moment he was. The twoboe turned away from him, thankfully, but then unthankfully turned to Bo, who was taunting it. Great, now it looked even more angry!
As tough as Bo acted, Edaniel wasn't sure he could handle an attack from a twoboe. So just as it looked about ready to spring at Bo, Edaniel jumped onto its back and wrapped his arms around its neck, squeezing as tight as he could.

The twoboe reared back when Edaniel tackle-grabbed it. Shaking it's neck, it bucked a few times, trying to get the teenage boy from it's back.
While Edaniel was holding on, Bo grabbed her knife from her pants pocket and ran over to where he and the twoboe were prancing around. Quickly Bo stabbed the silver blade into the neck of the evil demon-deer thing. The twoboe screamed, and bucked wildly, but Bo was quick and quickly stabbed again. "Get off!" she shouted to Edaniel, afraid that the pain would make the twoboe more angry. Meanwhile, she stabbed again and again, trying desperately to hit some sort of major vein that would make the animal stop trying to kill them.

Edaniel didn't need telling twice when Bo yelled at him to get off. In fact, he didn't need telling at all, because the twoboe suddenly bucked so powerfully that it threw Edaniel off its back and into a tree.
"Ow," he groaned, looking up just in time to see Bo stab the thing one last time before it gave a dying scream and fell to the forest floor with a thud. It was over, and they weren't dead, thank god...

Bo watched as the thing fell, and quickly pulled the knife from it's neck. She stared in disbelief down at the evil creature, her chest heaving. It had been a scary experience, but she was glad it was over now. Especially since Edaniel and Fael had been in danger.
"Edaniel? Are you alright?" she asked, walking over and offering a hand to help him up. Meanwhile, Fael bounded over, happy to see his human.

Edaniel took the hand offered to him and got to his feet. "I think so," he replied, brushing himself off. He looked down when the dragon frolicked up to them happily, as if it hadn't just nearly gotten them all killed, and frowned at it. "No thanks to you!" he yelled at it. It just looked up at him dumbly and tilted its head to the side. "Stupid dragon..."

Bo had been happy to see Edaniel, but he couldn't believe when he started yelling at Fael. Didn't he understand that was what had tore them apart in the first place.
"Don't go blaming Fael," Bo said, instantly going into protective mode. She leaned over and grabbed the dragon. "This isn't his fault at all. It's not like he could help, he's barely the size of that thing's head!"

"It's called animal instinct," Edaniel replied defensively when Bo chastised him. "He should instinctively know not to approach animals that will try to kill him." Looking at the little purple thing, staring at him innocently, Edaniel could hardly believe it was one day gonna grow up to be a giant killer beast. "I don't expect him to help, I expect him not to get in that kind of trouble in the first place!"

Bo had missed the beginning of the fight, so he hadn't known it was Fael's fault the thing had attacked. "Well, I'm sure he didn't mean it. He is only a few weeks old, you know." Bo was stubborn, so even if he had known it was Fael's fault, he probably would have gotten defensive anyway.
"But he was supposed to be in the tree where I left him," Bo said, remembering what had happened before the fight with the twoboe. Bo looked down at Fael who was staring quizzically at Edaniel. Maybe he remembered him or something, though it wasn't likely since it'd been a while since he'd seen him last.
"Anyway, I got a rabbit, you know... if you're hungry," she said, turning around to pick up the furry brown lump that lay half covered in leaves.

"Oh, um," Edaniel began awakwardly, unsure of himself. Did this mean they were friends again? Edaniel still didn't like the dragon anymore now than he had before...but Bo was being nice to him anyways. Had he forgiven him because of what just happened? "S-sure. Just cut some off for me, I don't need it cooked or nothin'."

"I'd rather cook it," Bo said, not turning to look at Edaniel. She was trying to forgive him, because she did still want to be friends, but right now it was easier not looking at him. She's probably smile too much if she did, and then get angry that she was happy about having a jerk back in her life. "If you don't mind," she added, not really caring if he minded or not. Watching him eat things raw made her queasy.

"Oh...I guess not," Edaniel replied, not really caring one way or the other. "I'll just eat it as a human then."
He stood akwardly and watched as Bo started a fire, until he just couldn't take the uncertainty anymore. He just had to ask the question that was hanging between them, just dying to be asked. "Does this mean we're friends again, Bo?"

"You could say that," she replied, placing the rabbit over on the spit she'd fashioned out of sticks. She didn't like saying feelings out loud, so that was probably the closest he'd get to a yes. Now that that was out of the way, she wondered if she should ask him how his life had been during the past few weeks, but she found it too private a question. Instead she finished tying the skinned rabbit to the sticks, and then sat back against a rock.
Fael was playing on the other side of the fire, chasing a moth (gross). It seemed like he'd figured out not to go near Edaniel, so he kept away from him, only following the bugs that lay on the other side of the fire.
