Disclaimer: I own PJ (oc) and Shadow (oc). Mike, Ignitus, and Zach are owned by some friends of mine. Ignitus is not related to Spyro in any way except for my friend, who is portrayed in the story as Ignitus, got the name from her favorite Spyro character. If you wish to use one of the main characters in this story, ask me first or I will complain to the administrators. And be sure to give credit where credit is due. Thank you and happy reading.
I am brought out of my flashback when I feel someones toung touch my lips. Breaking the kiss I look into her eyes. "Cress, is that really you?" I quietly ask, getting a nod in reply.
"Yup, it's been so long, no wonder you didn't recognize me!" She says, her eyes turning bright green. "Now you better get to class, we can catch up later,"
"Yeah, I'd bet. But it'll have to wait until you kick that Boris' ass." I say with a chuckle, grabbing the pass and heading back to class.
I make it to class just as Mr. Deeked finishes a lecture. "DAMN IT WHAT WHERE YOU DOING IN THERE, SHITTING A MOUNTAIN!!! YOU..." he says but is cut short as the bell wrings for school to end. Gathering my things I make my way to the parking lot. Along the way I see Mike and motion for him to follow me.
"She's really going to fight him, isn't she?" Mike says, and as I open my mouth to speak I am interrupted by Cress.
"Yes, Mike, I'm going to fight Boris and I'm going to teach him some respect," she says. "Do you want to tell him or should I?" she asks me.
"Oh yeah, I'll tell him," I say.
"Tell me what?"
"Remember that dragoness I told you about a while ago, the one that moved away?" I inquire, getting a nod from Mike.
"Yeah, your best friend before you met me," he said with a hint of jealousy.
"Here she is," I say, giving Cress a kiss.
"Hey, I told you the stupid lizard wouldn't show!" Came Borises voice from the parking lot.
"I sware I'm going to kill him," Cress said, her eyes turning deep red.
"Then let's go!" I say, excited and a little scared at the same time.
"Oh no you're not," came a familiar voice from behind. "Not without me!" Zach says, walking beside us. "Good to see you again, Cress. You ready to kick some ass?"
"Don't worry, we got your back, right Mike?" I say.
"Hell Yeah!" Mike says as he pulls out a taizer.
"Woah, no weapons this time Mike," I say, getting a sarcastic look from Mike.
"Ok, let's do this," I say as we walk out the double doors to the parking lot.
"Well, looks like Mrs. Skink isn't as much of a PUSSY as I thought. You got a lot of guts for a bitchy little lizard, fifty bucks says shits them out before I'm done," Boris says with a cocky grin.
"You son of a bitch I told you never call me that again!" Cress screams as she charges Boris and delivers a powerful elbow to his diaphram, making Boris double over slightly but he quickly recovers.
"You BITCH!" He shouts as he starts swinging his fists wildly, Cress dodging every one of swings, ducking, pivoting, stooping spinning to avoid his pail white fists.
"Holy shit, she's one hell of a hard one to hit," Mike says in disbelief at what he is seeing.
"Yup, that's her alright. When we played tag as cubs I could never get her," I reply.
"Damn, Dough, Bonz, Viny keep this bitch still so I can wail her," Boris says to his two goons.
"Oh shit, let's go Mike. And yes, you can use your taizer," I say getting a mischievous grin from my weapon-loving friend. 'You ready Shadow?'
'Yes, let us assist our friend,' Shadow replies as he takes control and charges at Dough, hitting vital nerves on his back paralyzing him temporarily. Meanwhile Mike grabs Bonzs' shoulder and presses the taizer to his neck and hitting the switch sending ten thousand volts of electricity coursing through his body, causing him to fall to the ground shaking violently. Meanwhile Zach tackles Viny to the ground and digs his claws in between his shoulder blades. "He is all yours, Cresselia," Shadow says. "Would you like some assistance?"
"No thanks, this is personal," she says, her eyes turning pitch black as she charges Boris. He swings at her but she ducks under it and jumps, doing a back flip and kicking Boris in the chin with bone-shattering force.
"AH YOU BISH!!!" Boris screams, clutching his jaw and swinging at Cress again. Side-stepping the blow she grabs his massive arm and throws him to the ground, his head hitting a rock and knocking him out cold.
The crowd that had gathered stands silent, astonished that someone knocked out Boris without even throwing a single blow. "Holy shit, she just took out Boris without even hitting him!" Someone from the crowd shouts. Suddenly the crowd erupts in cheers and applauds.
"I don't think Boris will give anyone trouble for a while," Zach says, calm and collected in spite of what just happened.
"Let's get out of here before the cops come," Mike says, just a little nerves.
"Hey PJ, you want to come over and spend the night at my house?" Cress asks.
"Are you sure it's ok with your dad, I mean, with how over protective he is with you and all?" I ask in reply.
"I don't know, but if he recognizes you I'm sure it'll be ok. What about your parents?"
"Yeah, those pitiful excuses for intelligent life don't give a damn what I do or where I go, they just ignore me in hopes that I'll go away," I reply with a tone of bitterness. "So yeah, I can come. How bout I walk you home?"
"Sure, it's been so long since we've seen each other, we've got loads of catching up to do. And I think we'll start with those sexy looking gold marks of yours," she says with just a hint of lust, her eyes turning light pink. But just as we start walking a moan stops us in our tracks. Turning around we see Boris shakilly getting up.
"Looks like he's not quite finished yet," I say, Cress getting in a fighting stance as Boris starts walking in our direction.
"Mabie I was wrong about you Ignitus. You're nothing like the weakling I expected you to be. How's 'bout we start over, I'm Boris," he says to everyones utter surprise. Even Zachs' jaw drops as Boris offers Cress his paw.
"Ok, I'm Cresselia. But my friends call me Cress or Ignitus," she says shaking his paw, causing even Borises crew to go wide-eyed.
That settled the large crowd that had gathered slowly disperses while Cress and Boris get to know each other better. After a hour or so the sun starts going down and Boris and his crew say good bye and walk off towards their respective homes.
"See you guys later, I've got to get home before dark or they will never find me," Zach says getting a laugh from Cress and I and as he sets off at a light jog to his house.
"I'd better go to, see you tomorrow guys," Mike says, getting into his Viper and driving off.
"So I guess I'll see you later,"
"How 'bout you spend the nite at my house instead?" Cress asks, stopping me in my tracks.
"What about your dad? If he's as over protective of you as I remember he won't like that at all," I say.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he will remember you. And last time I checked he trusts you more than anyone, even himself. I don't think we'll have much of a problem convincing him to let you stay the nite," she says, her eyes bright green. "And besides, we have some catching up to do. So what about you?"
"My parents, those stupid up tight bastards don't give a damn about me. I could drop off the face of the earth and they wouldn't even notice," I say with more than a little scorn in my voice.
Cress just stands there speechless for a moment before saying," Wow, things really went down hill for you ever since I left, didn't they?"
"Yeah, I guess you could say that," I reply.
So we start walking to Cress' house, her leading the way of course. And all along that long walk her eyes never change from that light pink.
~~~
"Dad I'm home, and I brought an old friend!" Cress shouts as she opens the door to her house, almost immediately answered by her father. He is a jet black dragon with a red strip, like Cresses, and stands at an impressive 7'10", 8'0" if you count his horns.
"Where were you? I told you to come strait home from school," he says, his eyes turning yellow and catching me off guard.
"Sorry dad, but the school alpha bully was taunting me furiously so I made him stop the best way that I could think of by kicking his ass in a fair fight. And it worked better than I thought it would. Now we have mutual respect and even got to know each other better," Cress explains.
"Then who is this," he says, looking at me, his eyes now a pail shade of red. "You know you're not supposed to bring friends over without my promotion,"
"Yes I know dad, but don't you recognize him?" Cress asks her eyes turning grey.
"No, I don't recognize him, I don't know anyone who dies there fur. You know how I feel about that," he replies, his eyes turning a shade darker.
"I know it's been a while and I didn't really expect you to recognize me, especially with my marks. It's been over a decade since you and Cress left," I say, interrupting Cress as she opens her mouth to speak.
"What are you talking... Wait, how did you know my daughters name?" He asks, his eyes turning grey to match Cresses. "And how did you know Cress and I left all those years ago?"
"Because that was the day my whole life changed, the day my closest friend left my life for ever and the day my marks appeared," I explain as realization finally dawns on him an his eyes turn the brightest, most vibrant green I've ever seen.
"PJ my how you've grown, and why did you die your fur?" He asks, shaking my hand.
"I didn't. I don't know why but when you left they just appeared, quite painfully," I answer.
"Well, diner is almost done so go wash up," he says as a buzzer goes off in what I assume is the kitchen.
Nodding Cress and I head to the bathroom to wash up. But, to my surprise, Cress closes and locks the door. Thinking nothing of it I turn on the sink and wash my paws. But as I finish and turn to dry my hands Cress wraps her arms around me and locks me in a passionate kiss, pushing her toung into my muzzle and wrestling with my toung. After the initial shock wares off I eagerly return the kiss. We finally break the kiss when Cresses dad calls us to the kitchen to eat.
Needless to say after the fight with Boris and his crew, and skipping lunch, I bolt down stairs to the kitchen with Cress in tow. But as soon as we enter the dining room I stop dead in my tracks. Layed out before me is the most lavish and expensive looking meal I've seen in my life.
"What, you've never seen slow roasted turkey before," Cress says, pushing me aside as I was in the doorway.
"No, I haven't. The closest thing to this that I've eaten is the food at the school cafeteria," I say as I snap out of my third stupor of the day, a new personal record.
"Then sit down so and eat," Cresses dad says with green eyes and a hint of cheer in his voice. So I take a seat next to Cresselia and dig in with out a word, finishing off my second helping as Cress and her dad finish their first.
"Wow, that was the best meal I've ever had, thanks Mr. Jones," I say with a slight bow after I get up.
"No problem, PJ. Now it's getting late, so you and Ignitus go up stairs and shower," he says, his eyes still the same shade of green.
"Yes sir," I reply as I start heading up stairs with Ignitus. "So do you want to go first or should I?" I ask as we reach the bathroom door.
"Why don't we go together?" she asks as she opens the door and steps inside.
"Are you sure, what about your dad?" I ask in reply, a tone of worry clear in my voice.
"Don't worry about him, he trusts you even more than himself, remember," she says as she pulls me inside, shutting and locking the door behind me.
