The sun shined over Warfang, and everyone is out and about in the city on the streets.

Of course I should be back at home right now, but I wanted to meet someone.

And that someone....Is Tim.

I put on a little smile on my face as I strode on the streets. Tim....What happened between us?

I thought we would be together forever, and you've told me that yourself. But now we're not.

It has been five years since that night and our first mating together. I could never forget that night, ever.

Now it's been four years and...We're not together as a couple. Why really? Long story to be honest, but I guess I'll make it short.

Lets just say...Another dragon who is a friend of mine told me he...Liked me and lets just say....We're together now.

But I never wanted to be with HIM. I wanted to be with Tim. But the problem was...I was afraid to tell my friend that. That I've loved a human, and he knows Tim. He talks to Tim. He's FRIENDS with Tim. I didn't want anyone to know that I loved Tim. No one.

Of course, I shouldn't care about what anyone would think of our relationship, but I couldn't help it. No matter how much I wanted to tell my friend, I just couldn't do it.

I really wish Tim was a dragon like me, that way we wouldn't have this problem now.

Five years have passed and I'm not a little dragoness anymore. I'm practically big just like The Guardians. I still have my black scales, but my horns have gotten a little bigger. Right now I just look like...I was before. The Terror of the Skies. Before Spyro rescued me.

Even I know that I'm not evil now, I'm just normal Cynder still. And sometimes, I can't help but get the looks that everyone in the city gives me. That I look like the monster I was before.

I've ignored them however, no need to dwell on it.

Flame and Ember have gotten big just like me. More than once, I wonder if Spyro was still alive up to this day and what he would look like when he got bigger like me.

I made my way to the garden in the middle of Warfang and I saw Tim sitting on the grass near the water. Tim heard my footsteps and he grinned at me. He got up on his feet and I lowered my head to his level. He reached out to touch my cheek. I smiled at him and blinked my green eyes at him, "Hey Tim, sorry I was late."

Tim still looked like the handsome human I've met six years ago. The good looks, the way he reminds me of Spyro. He's still Tim, nothing more.

Tim shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it Cynder. I'm glad you came here, you haven't exactly shown up yesterday."

I had a sad look and sighed, "Yes...Its just I didn't want...HIM to know."

He nodded and he started to stroke my cheek, "I know, Cyn...You don't want to hurt Flame."

I said, "More than that, Tim. I don't want him to know about...Us."

Tim lowered his hand from my cheek and he started to rub my nose, "That too, I guess." He giggled. Then he motioned for us to sit down on the grass and we did. I laid down on my stomach and he sat down on his butt and crossed his legs. Both of us sat in silence. Felt kinda awkward in a way now.

Tim sighed and he turned his head and looked up at me, "So...How was your day? I hardly ever talk to you these days."

I shrugged and turned my head and looked down at him, "Nothing much on my end, but the reason why we don't talk much these days is we're both busy."

He rolled his eyes, "Yeah TOO busy at that!" Then he waved his hand and exclaimed, "We don't hang out like we used to!"

I giggled and lowered my head to his level, and jokingly said, "You only hang out with me because we." I whispered so no one would hear me, "We like to sleep together as humans would put it, right Tim?"

Tim laughed and he slapped my neck playfully, "Well that's one reason why I like being with you, big girl."

I gave him a mock expression, "Don't call me big girl. That kinda makes me sound like I'm fat. AND I'M NOT FAT."

Tim shook his head in disbelief, "You are fat, compared to Ember."

I shot a glare at him, "What was that?"

Tim just laughed and raised his hands in defense, "I'm kidding, Cynder. Truce!"

I formed a grin over my mouth, "You better be kidding, little man." I giggled at that.

Then Tim crossed his arms and this time, he glared at me, "Now you're calling me little man. You know I hate it when big dragons like you call me little man. I wish you were little still when I've first met you. I like little Cynder better. She was more cuter than big Cynder."

I laughed at that, "Cute? You think little Cynder was cute?"

Tim nodded, "Yep, she was. And she was more funner than big Cynder anyways." He giggled and raised one finger, "And sexier." He raised two, "And hotter." He raised three fingers, "And-"

I cut him off with my laughter, "Alright Tim, I get it!" He joined in as well.

Tim stopped laughing and shook his head, "But I like big Cynder too. She looks even more sexier, funner, and hotter."

I smiled at him, "Thank you...Tim." I glanced away from him with a sad look on my face. I wanted to kiss Tim right now in the garden for that comment. I really did. But there were bystanders nearby. I'm afraid if I did kiss Tim in the garden, word would get around about me and him.

And Flame would know about it and I don't know how he would take it. Flame's...In love with me.

Yeah this friend I've told you that I was with, is Flame. About a year after me and Tim have been romantically involved with one another, Flame found me alone on the wall that surrounds Warfang and both of us have talked for a long time. He...Even confessed that he loved me.

Of course, knowing me I didn't believe him at first. But then without any warning, he just planted a kiss on my lips. Which I was completely shocked, he really liked me and Flame actually asked me out.

I was speechless at that moment, I wanted to say no. But I was afraid he would get suspicious as why I would reject him. I was also afraid he would notice how close me and Tim are. HOW THE BOTH OF US ARE TOO CLOSE AT THAT.

I couldn't take that chance and I agreed to go out with him. Tim was devastated at first, but then he understood why I did it. I wanted to protect him from being ridiculed by other dragons. I...I also didn't want everyone to know as well. Both of us have been careful about being together in a intimate way, but then me and Tim wonder how long it would last.

Flame and I have been together for four years now, and...A part of me should have done something about it. I love Tim, not Flame. And I keep leading Flame on.

Pretending that I love him back, but the inside of me says otherwise. I don't love Flame and it's always killing me.

But Flame has been a good friend of mine and it wasn't all bad. I guess in my mind we were like...Friends with benefits. I guess that's how you put it.

I want to tell Flame the truth, but I'm afraid how he would take it. I...I don't want him to think I'm a weirdo and think Tim's a weirdo also. I also don't want to hurt Flame as well.

Me and him wouldn't...Make a good couple. I thought he and Ember would be that way. But Flame wanted me.

This really is bothering me and it's been bothering me even worse than before. I don't know how much more I can take.

Tim interrupted my thoughts, "Cynder?"

I shook my head, looked down at him and asked, "Yes?"

Tim had a worried look on his face, "You okay, Cynder? You know you can talk to me."

I sighed and closed my eyes, I whispered, "I love you."

He nodded, "I know."

I shook my head and got up on all fours. I strode and stood in front of him, "Tim, this is really getting to me now. I mean, I know that Flame is a nice dragon and all, but I've never wanted him to begin with. This whole thing is really bothering me and now I regret it."

Tim had a pity look on his face and sighed. He got up on his feet and walked toward me. Tim placed a hand to my leg and said in a comforting voice, "It's okay, Cynder. To be honest, if you're worried about my feelings, I'm not sad about us anymore. I...I think I'm used to this now."

I looked at him and said, "But I miss US. I don't want to imagine a life without you Tim. That's it." I glanced away from him, "I wish you were a purple dragon just like Spyro. To be a dragon like me."

Tim giggled a little and muttered, "Purple, huh? I'd rather be blue than purple." He looked down after that, "I can't be a dragon anyways. There's nothing that would change me." He looked at me.

I closed my eyes tight and he assured me, "I get it right now. But I've accepted this and we may as well...Move on from this. Move on from us. At least try to make the best with Flame. Flame's a great guy."

I turned my head and looked at him. Still with that sad look on my face. I moved my head closer to his chest and nuzzled it. Tim let out a sigh and he wrapped his arms tenderly around my head. hugging me, "Oh Cynder. I'm sorry about that. I really am."

I pulled away a bit and looked into his eyes, "It's okay, Tim. Maybe I should move on from this as well. The reason why I don't feel happy with Flame right now is, because I keep thinking about you that way. I think, it's best I move on as well."

Tim gave me a comforting smile, "Yeah, and we would always be best friends."

I nodded, "Right."

Tim leaned his head to my nose and placed a tender kiss on it. I took the kiss with heart. He pulled back and said, "I hope we get to talk later, Cyn. We hardly talk to each other these days. I usually hang out with Ember and Sparx now."

I said to him, "Well I hang out with Sparx, but Ember...Different story with her."

Tim started to back away from me and said, "Listen, I'll talk to you later, okay?" He waved at me, "See you later and try to make the best with Flame, ok?"

I stuttered, "I'll...I'll try." My throat was starting to tighten now. The realization was getting to me now.

Tim gave me a smile and he whirled around on me. Walking away from me in the process.

As I watched him walk away from me. I shut my eyes and a couple of tears started to fall down my cheeks. I muttered his name quietly, in sadness and pain, "Tim."

I haven't been with him that way for fours years. But now at this very moment...This feels like goodbye between us. That I need to move on from him. To be with someone else.

But I'll never let him go.

I love him so much.

I opened my eyes and looked up at the blue sky. I sighed.

Spyro...What would you do in my place? What would you do?

*****

I sat down on the wall that surrounds Warfang. The afternoon came and the sun warmed down on me with it's rays. I was thinking about Cynder. I sighed to myself. Cynder...

I'll admit to myself, like I won't admit it to her. I can't let her go.

I remember on the night when she first told me how she felt and how I didn't jump the gun right away. I was...Pretty apprehensive about...What she wanted from me. That she loved me and she wanted me to love her back.

I have to admit though, I felt that way about her as well, before she even told me. So it was easy for me to have our first time together under the moonlight. Ever since that night, we've been that way. But we've always kept our secret together.

Me and Cynder would sleep close together at night. Sharing kisses together. Me and little Cynder. I giggled to myself. I wonder what it would have been like if I was kissing big Cynder? Her mouth is kinda bigger now. Not to mention her BODY is bigger than before as well. I wonder what it would've felt like if...I was inside her when she's big now? She probably wouldn't feel tight anymore.

I sighed sadly. I can't let go of Cynder. Me telling her to let us go, what was I thinking?! I can't let her go and I know she can't either. She really loves me. Just like I've come to love her.

But both of us are afraid of what our friends and the citizens of Warfang would think of us together. What can we do about it? We can't change what everyone thinks. It doesn't work that way.

As I was sitting around on the wall, a shadow fell over me. I looked over my shoulder and saw a big pink dragoness looking down at me with a smile. Ember.

I smiled and said to her, "Hello Ember. I haven't expected to see you up here."

Ember let out a childish giggle, "Well Tim, you know I just show up in places unannounced."

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "True, you always do."

She glared down at me, "Not always, you little liar." Then me and her both laughed. Ember sat down on her haunches beside me and we both looked out at the outskirts of Warfang. Looking out at the forest outside the city. Nice view from up here.

Ember looked down at me and asked, "Hey Tim, can I ask you something?"

I looked up at her, "Well that didn't take you so long to start asking me questions."

Ember laughed again and waved me off with her paw, "Oh, it's nothing much." She had a concerned look on her face, "It's just....You've been kinda distant lately. I mean, when you're not working with Terrador, you always seem to avoid me and Sparx. Can you tell me what's bothering you?" She gave me a comforting smile, "If you tell me, I promise you I won't bite."

I smiled at her at first and then it melted away. I sighed, "Well...Some things have...Been on my mind lately. I.." I hesitated, "I can't explain it." I really want to tell Ember the truth. But...How can she take it?

Ember cocked her head at me, "What things? I know you can't explain it, but can you try?"

I shook my head at her, "Not really. Well..." I trailed off.

"What?"

I sighed, "I've been thinking about Cynder lately."

She smiled at me, "Aw, I know how you and Cynder were close before. Before Flame decided to go out with her, you and her don't talk to each other much anymore."

I said, "Yeah, that's because we're both busy a lot."

Ember said, "Well I can be your new best friend, if you want."

I waved her off, "No thanks, Ember. Sometimes you can be...Perky and so loud."

Ember narrowed her eyes at me, "Perky and so loud?"

My eyes went wide and I raised my hands in defense, "Don't give me that look. I'm only being honest."

Ember sighed and gave me a pity look, "Well I try not to be loud and perky. But I have a bubbly personality." She shrugged her wings and shoulders, "Can't help myself."

I reached out to stroke the scales on her leg, "I know, Ember. I know."

She lowered her head to my level, "You miss her, huh?"

I nodded and glanced down at my lap, "I do."

Ember got her head closer and started to nuzzle me. My eyes went wide with surprise when she nuzzled. I asked with apprehension in my voice, "What are you doing?"

Ember murmured while she still nuzzled my chest, "You know...For six years when you first came here...I thought you were cute." She raised her head a bit and looked into my eyes, "Do you still remember...How I've always followed you around like you were...My hero."

I nodded and I patted the top of her head, "I reminded you of Spyro. That's why you've followed me around so much."

Ember had some sadness in her eyes, "I miss Spyro. And I honestly wish I was with him before he died. But he kept ignoring me and just stayed with Cynder." She sighed and glanced away a bit, "I don't know who feels more pain. Me or Cynder. Maybe it's me. Maybe it's because I didn't get the man of my dreams."

Ember glanced at me and went on, "You really remind me of that man, Tim. You...Remind me of my hero. The purple dragon who saved this world from the dark master. The one who risked his life for everyone here. Along with Cynder."

I looked into her eyes and frowned, "What are you implying now?"

Ember kept staring at me and she started to get her head closer to mine. Until she tried to press her snout against my mouth for a kiss. I sucked in a breath and scooted away from her. Ember's face went wide with pain and shock. She had a guilty look on her face and said, "I'm sorry, Tim. I...I didn't mean it."

I got up on my two feet and shook my head at her, "It's okay."

She raised her head and looked down at me, "No, it wasn't. I shouldn't have done that to you. I mean, we're different! I can't think that way about you."

I had a sad look and looked down at my feet. Ember...You have no idea what I'm thinking about right now.

I've rejected you...Because of Cynder. I don't love you.

Ember had a look of concern and said with a worried tone, "Please, Tim, don't think badly of me. I thought I was doing the right thing."

You know what? I'm tired of keeping this secret. I'm telling my secret now. She deserves to know the truth. I don't care anymore. Someone was bound to find out sooner or later. I sighed and looked up at her, "Ember...There's something I want to tell you." I hope I can build the guts to tell Ember this. I feel like I want to tell someone about my problem lately. That me and Cynder are not together anymore.

Ember frowned at me, "What, Tim?"

I took a deep breath and slowly let it out. Finally I said it, "I love Cynder."

She cocked her head at me, "What do you mean? I mean, the way you said it...It sounded like-"

"Yes Ember. I love her."

Her eyes went wide and she frowned at me again, "Uh...Really?"

I waved her off and said, "Yes, I know what it looks like. I thought about it that way as well. I didn't know what to think of it. But six years ago, me and Cynder have fallen in love. And...We have been together."

She asked, "You mean, you two were mates?"

I giggled a bit and nodded, "Putting it bluntly, we did have sex. I mean, our first time was pretty sudden. Like a rush if you ask me. At the end of our first time, I was pretty...Apprehensive about it. Actually before we did it, I was apprehensive."

I sighed and told her the rest of my tale, "I've loved Cynder. I've gotten over my apprehension about us. When Spyro died, we were both destined to be together. Me and her have been more closer than before. We really became lovers. But that was four years ago and now...She's with Flame. Because she didn't want him to get suspicious of us. She wanted to protect me."

That's when Ember got the picture and said, "So that's why you have been distant lately. Because she's with Flame, and you can't let her go."

I nodded, "That about sums it up."

Ember nodded, "Ah...." Then she had a sad look, "That's sad."

I looked down with a sad look of my own, "Yeah. I can't take it anymore. I miss Cynder, but I don't know how to get her back."

Ember's face beamed and said, "Maybe you should just tell Flame you love Cynder. After all, you do."

I shook my head and said, "I can't, Ember."

She frowned at me, "Why not?"

"Because...I told her that she should move on to him. That she needs to let me go." Then I looked at Ember and waved my hand at her, "Besides...She still wouldn't tell Flame the truth about us. She's afraid for my safety." I sighed, "Me and her don't want to be bullied and ridiculed by other dragons here because of our...Strange relationship."

Ember shook her head at me, "Well I haven't bullied and ridiculed you, so I don't see what's wrong with it."

I gave her a frown, "Really?"

Ember laughed and nodded, "Sure! Honestly, I've figured you would make a good couple. I don't know why really, you just do."

I moved my eyes to my right a sec and looked back at her, "Uh...Thank you."

Ember then sighed and said, "Well, I wish I knew the answer to your problem. But I guess I shouldn't make you tell Flame that you loved Cynder. Only she can do that."

I nodded and said, "You're right. I better stay out of it. Flame wouldn't believe me anyways if I've told him the truth before Cynder does. So I guess...Wait and see. If Cynder wants to be with me, then she'll tell him."

Ember smiled down at me, "I hope you guys get back together. I...I don't want you guys to be sad."

I smiled back at her, "Yeah, and Flame would be sad about Cynder leaving him for me."

She shrugged, "He's tough, he can handle it."

Then I pointed a finger at her, "Well maybe you and Flame should get together as a couple. You guys seemed cute as well."

Ember's face went wide and she started laughing, "Me?! Me and Flame?! I don't know about that."

I rolled my eyes, "I know you somehow have a crush on Flame as well, and you don't know it. I think it'll come out sooner or later. Just give it time."

She playfully narrowed her eyes at me, "You could be wrong about me, you twerp."

I laughed and started to walk away from her. I looked over my shoulder and said to her, "Well come on, Ember. Lets get something to eat, I'm hungry."

Ember beamed and bounded after me, "I could use some food myself! I'm hungry too!" We both laughed and kept on walking.

My thoughts went to Cynder as we walked. Cynder....

I hope you have the guts to tell Flame about how you feel about me. Because I've told Ember about us.

Part of me still can't believe it happened, but in the end...Ember didn't care. She would be happy for us.

Let's hope Cynder can tell Flame that and he wouldn't care as well.

I certainly hope Flame wouldn't be jealous of me and her together in that way. He seems to really like her.

*****

Me and Flame were laying close together near the fireplace at Flame's house. His wing covered over me. I laid my head against his.

The night has come to Warfang, so now it's another night with us alone together.

Oh how I wish I was having another night like this with Tim. I'll be honest, ever since the conversation we've had today, I couldn't get him out of my head.

Him telling me to move on to Flame...It felt like I was never going to be with him.

That I'm suppose to be with someone I don't love.

That's not fair! Not fair for both of us!!

Flame said to me, interrupting my thoughts, "Cynder? Are you listening?"

I looked at him and put on a smile, "Sorry, I was spaced out right now."

Flame giggled, "Well I'm surprised at you, Cyn. You have been quiet ever since we've been close together." Then he frowned and looked up at the ceiling, "Come to think of it, you have been distant more than usual today." Flame looked and gave me a concerned look, "So...Something wrong? Did someone pick on you again?"

Flame had an angry scowl on his face, "Did another dragon call you a monster, or Terror of the Skies? Because if that dragon did, I'll kill him or her. You're a good person."

I shook my head, "No, it's not that. I just...Got a lot on my mind."

He had a pity look on his face, "Sorry, Cynder."

I waved him off with a paw, "I wouldn't worry about it. It's a minor thing." But in my heart, it's not a minor thing.

I should be having these nights with Tim. Not Flame.

Flame smiled at me and he leaned his head forward toward mine and planted his snout against mine. My eyes went wide with surprise and then I kissed him back, locking our jaws together. I know we have kissed like this before, but every time he kissed me, it still felt like a surprise to me.

Flame pulled his mouth away from me and licked my nose. He looked lovingly in my eyes, "Cynder...For a long time, I've always thought you were beautiful. I think I could see why Spyro wanted to be with you."

I nodded slowly, still kinda flushed from the kiss, "Yeah, that's one of the reasons why."

Flame nuzzled my neck, "I mean...I know other reasons why he wanted you. You seem smart as well. You don't take anything bad from anyone. I know how that gets." He stopped nuzzling and looked at my face again, "I...I love you, Cynder. You make me so happy."

I wanted to say I don't love you to Flame, but my conflicting thoughts about my fears for Tim were getting to me. I instead said, "I love you too, Flame."

Flame gave me a devious grin, "You know, Cynder, we have been together for four years. And we haven't done anything else to each other, other than kissing I mean."

I knew what he was getting at and I nodded, "Yeah...That's right."

Flame nodded as well, "I mean, maybe we should start a family together. I can imagine you as a mother. I know you're not in heat right now, but this thing has been bugging me." He licked my nose and then he started to nuzzle my neck, "I think...We should practice on our...Mating skills. Before your heat cycle comes." He pulled back and cocked his head, "What do you think?"

I only stared at him, trying to decide for an answer. I want to scream no to him. But then a thought crossed my mind, about the conversation with Tim today. He said I should move on with Flame, since we're not together anymore.

That both of us should move on.

Maybe...I should mate with Flame. Maybe it's the only way to forget about Tim.

I need to try to make the best of things with him. I want to try it. Maybe I can love him too.

I nodded and shuffled under his wing, "I think...We should do it. We haven't mated since we've got together. I'm tired of waiting, I want to be with you completely." So far so good.

Flame beamed at me, "Alright." Then he removed his wing off of me and got up on all fours. I got up on all fours as well. He smiled and gave me a peck on the cheek. I licked his snout in response.

Flame grinned at me for another moment and he started to walk behind me. I gazed at him as he walked, even looked over my shoulder.

Flame was right behind me now and he waited for me to raise my tail. I didn't waste any time and I slowly raised my tail high for him. I turned my gaze to up ahead and closed my eyes, waiting for him to take me. I felt his paw on my haunch.

But before anything could happen, the voice inside my head screamed. NO!

I opened my eyes immediately and said to Flame, "Wait." I looked over my shoulder and saw Flame was ready to take me, but was halfway there. He gave me a quizzical look.

I sat down on my haunches, looked ahead again, and sighed, "I'm sorry Flame, but I can't do this."

I heard Flame gasp behind me and he walked until he stood in front of me. He cocked his head and gave me a sad look, "Why?"

I need to tell him the truth, I can't hold it back anymore. I won't do this to Tim, I won't hurt him. And I won't hurt Flame anymore either.

I'm owning up to this now.

I shook my head, "I just can't do it."

Flame narrowed his eyes at me, "You know what, Cynder? I've had it. You've been acting so weird lately, I can't even talk to you like I used to." Flame had a worried look on his face, "Where's the girl I've known? Where's Cynder? Because you're not acting like her."

I sighed and looked into his eyes. I said to him, "I can't be with you."

He let out a small gasp and asked, "What? But why?"

I took a deep breath, "Flame, please understand it...We weren't meant to be together. Both of us are meant to be with someone else. Not us." I shook my head at him, "I can't do this anymore, Flame. I've been hurting you and myself, and I can't take it anymore."

I had a sad look on my face, "I thought this was a good idea, but it wasn't."

He cocked his head at me, "What are you saying?"

I hesitated at first, until after another moment I finally said it, "I love someone else, Flame." I closed my eyes and told the truth, "And it's...Tim."

Flame's eyes went wide and he asked incredulously, "WHAT?!"

I opened my eyes and narrowed my eyes at him, "You heard me."

Flame shook his head, "I don't understand it. Tim's...Different."

I shook my head too, "I don't care if he is different. I love Tim, no matter what he is." I placed a paw to my chest, "Tim reminds me of Spyro, but he's a bit different than him. Tim really does make me happy."

I told him my tale, "Four years ago, when me, you, Tim, and Ember went outside the city to go swimming and during the night when we've spent the night out there, that's when I told him how I've felt. We...Even shared our first time together."

Flame cocked his head at me, "You guys...Mated?"

I nodded, "He was shocked and nervous about it. But in the end, he was happy about it. He felt the same way about me before I've told him. After that night for about a year, we have been more closer than before. We were happy together."

I sighed, "But now...I've broken up with him, because I didn't want you to know about us. I didn't want to rouse any suspicion. I wanted to protect him. I didn't want you to know about us, nor anyone to know about us. I didn't want anyone to bully him or ridicule him."

Flame had a look of sympathy on his face, "Gosh, Cynder. I don't know what to say. It really does sound like it's my fault."

I shook my head again, "No, it's not your fault, it's mine. I never should have played your feelings. It wasn't fair. You're my friend and I've been hurting you more than me." I hung my head down in shame and guilt, "I don't love you, Flame. I love him."

Flame then said, "Cynder, you should've told me all this sooner. I wouldn't have minded it. Tim's my friend. How could you think that I would bully him?"

I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know, Flame. I guess my paranoia just got to me. I didn't want to take the chance." I started to have tears form in my eyes, when I was looking at Flame's face, "I'm sorry, Flame. I'm so sorry, and I'm so sorry for Tim." I started to break down in front of him, tears falling down my face.

Flame got his head closer and nuzzled my head. He said in a soothing voice, "It's okay, Cynder. I don't hate you. I could never hate you."

I asked him while he was nuzzling me, my voice quivering a bit, "You wouldn't?"

He pulled back and shook his head, "No, I wouldn't. And you don't need to be with me. You belong with someone you truly love. Not me, Tim."

I frowned at him, "You really don't care?"

He gave me a comforting smile and shook his head, "No. You have my blessing." Then he pointed the doorway with his wing tip, "Go to him, Cynder. You two need each other now."

I smiled at him and then I nuzzled him, "Thank you for understanding."

Flame giggled, "I'm glad I didn't mate you, Cynder. It wouldn't look good on me. Plus, I would feel real guilty about it."

I pulled back and nodded, "Me too. I wouldn't forgive myself for doing that to you and to me. I would feel more guilty than you would."

Flame nodded and muttered, "Yeah." Then he motioned the doorway with his head, "Go Cynder. Your mate needs you."

I nodded again, "I will, and thank you." And with that, I've left Flame alone in his room. On my way out of there. Well that wasn't so bad. Better than I thought it was.

With a determined look, one thing was on my mind. Tim.

I need to find Tim and renew our love for one another.

And I think I know how to do it.

*****

Me and Tim are at the spot outside Warfang during the night. At the spot where we had our first time together. At the lake where we've first mated together. That beautiful spot hasn't changed much at all.

Tim and I were just chatting away, still surprised that we're out here at this very spot. I could tell he'd never forget the spot either.

You see after what happened between me and Flame and after I've told him everything, the next day after that night, I went to find Tim and asked him do you want to go outside the city with me? Tim didn't decline the offer and I was glad.

We've been gone all day, having the time of our lives. Just the two of us, making up for lost time. When I'm with him, it felt like things haven't changed between us. That we never broke up at all.

So now it's hours later and I've decided to take him to this spot and ever since then, we've both been sitting and chatting.

The only other reason why we're outside the city alone, is to renew our love. And I thought bringing him to this spot during the night would be the perfect place to do that. We've hardly ever came back here since that night, and it's special to us.

Tim laughed when I've told him a joke about Sparx, "Oh my god, I could imagine Spyro would laugh at how Sparx was screaming like a girl around that time."

I laughed as well and exclaimed, "Yeah! Before Spyro died, he could never forget that day in his life. Sparx, however, would deny the facts and say that." I did a Sparx impression with my voice, making it kinda deeper, "I never screamed like a girl. I'm a MAN." Then I was done with my impression and giggled again, "Ha! Considering knowing that little dragonfly, I doubt that's the case with him. According to Spyro, he really was screaming like a girl."

Tim nodded, "Yeah, considering he was screaming at his own shadow at night!" We both laughed about it, then Tim added, "I wonder what got into Sparx that night? Why would he be afraid of his own shadow?"

I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know. Sparx always does seem to run away from danger." I giggled again, "I guess he would run away from his own shadow to hide."

Tim shrugged, "Perhaps so!"

Both of us sat down in silence near the water. Just enjoying it.

Tim broke the silence and said, "You know, Cynder...I'm glad we're out here together. It means a lot to me."

I looked down at him and nodded, "You're welcome. I just wanted to come out to this spot with you. I...I really miss all those times we shared together."

Tim nodded in agreement, "Me too." Then he sighed and asked, "Cynder...Why are we out here really?" He asked again, "I thought you would be with Flame right now. So what's up?"

I sighed and said, "Tim...We came out here so I could talk to you."

He shrugged and asked, "About what? What's there to talk about?"

I said, "About us." Then I gestured my paw to me and him, "About us in general."

Tim got up on his feet and sighed, "Cynder...I know you miss me. But we both need to move on. I'm trying to, but sometimes it's just hard." He waved a hand at me, "I won't force you to choose between me and Flame. If you want to protect me, then you should stay with Flame."

I shook my head at him, "I don't want Flame. I WANT YOU."

He asked, "So then...How are we suppose to resolve this? We can't change the past, you're already with Flame anyways. He thinks you love him and it's too late to change it now."

I shook my head again, "No, it's not too late."

"Why?"

I let it out, "Because I've told him everything."

Tim's face went wide and he asked, "What?"

"I told Flame about us and about everything."

His expression went to fear, "Cynder, are you crazy?! What about what everyone else would think? What about-"

I cut him off by shaking my head, "He won't tell anyone this. I know he won't." I lowered my head to his level and went on, "Tim, last night I've almost made a big mistake. Flame wanted to mate with me, but my mind told me to tell him the truth. I've put Flame through enough pain and I can't take it anymore." I put my face closer to his, "I want to be with you and that's what matters to me now."

He softened his expression and asked, "He won't tell anyone this? About us?"

I shook my head once more, "No he won't. And he's not jealous about us either. He understands how we both feel. Flame's our friend, he would always be our friend." I smiled at him, "He gave me his blessing to be with you."

Tim started to slowly smile and in a rush, he wrapped his arms around my neck for a hug, "You have no idea how much I wanted you to do that."

I frowned when he hugged me, "Tim?"

He let me go and backed away a bit, looking into my eyes, "I didn't want to interfere anything with you and Flame. You've brought up the courage to tell him the truth and I'm glad you did. It was only you who can do that, not me."

I smiled at him again, "It wasn't easy, but yes I did."

Tim started to giggle and I had a curious look on my face, "What are you laughing about?"

Tim stopped giggling and said, "To be honest, Cynder...You weren't the only one who told someone about us. Yesterday, when me and Ember were talking...I've told her about us as well. And she doesn't mind it one bit."

She let out a whoosh of air, "Well good, then that means I wasn't the only person to tell someone about us. That means we're even now."

We both laughed at that and he nodded, "Yep."

We both looked at each other's faces and he put both hands to my face, pulling his head closer to mine. Tim said, "I really missed us. I couldn't let you go. I know I've told you yesterday about us having to move on to other people. But I couldn't let you go either, no matter what." He kissed my nose and said to me, "I love you, Cynder."

I nuzzled his chest and murmured, "I love you too, Tim." I pulled away and smiled at him, he smiled back.

With his hands still on my face, he leaned towards my head and instead of kissing my nose again, he kissed me directly on the mouth. I returned the kiss by adjusting my mouth to his. My mouth's not small as it used to be. I opened my jaws a bit and my tongue entered his mouth, kissing him deeply.

Both our tongues started to touch each others, enjoying each others saliva. We were kissing like this for a minute and we both pulled away from each other. Gasping for air. We both looked into each others eyes and we started laughing.

Tim started to pet my nose after we kissed, "Your mouth certainly has gotten bigger."

I giggled a bit and licked his hand, "I know, I was starting to wonder if we would ever kiss like that ever again." I shrugged, "Guess I don't have to worry about it now."

Tim shook his head and gave my nose a rub, "Whether you're big or small, I still want you."

I smiled at him, "Thank you, Tim. And I know you would be small to me from now on, but I would still want you as well."

Tim nodded and gave me a devious grin, "Speaking of...Wanting each other. Do you...You know?" He gestured back and forth between us.

I said, "You know, Tim, I still remember the first night we shared together here and I was the one who gave you the invitation to be with me that way." I giggled, "How can I not accept your invitation? You really know how to take charge now, human."

Tim laughed and said, "Yeah I remember that night. YOU really took charge. Building up the courage to tell me you love me. Now THAT'S taking charge."

Then I whined and begged him for it, "Oh Tim, I'm tired of talking now." I pressed my cheek against his and said, "I want you now, Tim. It's been four years now and I'm tired of waiting." I pulled back a bit and begged some more, "Please, right now. Please, for old times sake."

He smiled and kissed my nose again and lovingly said, "I won't deny you, Cynder."

I beamed at him and licked his nose. I raised my head and asked, "So...How do you want to do this?"

Tim twirled his finger and said, "Can you turn around?" Then he grinned at me, "I want to take you from behind, like before."

I nodded and slowly turned around for him. Since I'm not small like I was before, I lowered my body, until I was laying on my stomach. My haunches in front of him.

I looked over my shoulder and I started to raise my tail high for him and curled it over my back. Inviting him inside me.

Tim got a good look at my hole and he said, "I hope I can handle this, you're not small anymore."

I gave him some encouragement, "I know you can do this." Then I added, with want in my eyes, "Please Tim, don't tease me, just take me already!"

Tim's eyes went wide and he laughed. He nodded, "As you wish...My love." Tim then started to take his clothes off and I watched him do it. First he took his shirt off, then his shoes and pants, leaving only his underwear on.

Lastly, he took it off and when his underwear was near his feet, he kicked it away. Now he was showing off his whole bare body. His abs look handsome like before, his malehood giving out an erection. Tim playfully asked, "Like what you see?"

I know he was teasing me now and I wasn't in the mood for it. I huffed, narrowed my eyes and pleaded, "Tim, PUT IT IN ME NOW PLEASE."

He nodded and now since he's naked, he's ready to take me. He got closer to me. Tim placed his hand firmly on my hip and he used his other hand to grab his erect cock. Positioning himself to take me.

I looked at him still and he finally placed the tip of his cock and he hilted himself in me with one thrust. Since I was bigger now, he could take me easily, but that doesn't mean I can't feel him inside me. Because after he put all of him in me, I could feel a tremor of pleasure going up my spine.

I heard Tim sucked in a sharp breath by sudden the warmness of my tunnel. He collected himself and he started to take me slowly, his legs bracing for his small slow thrusts.

Tim started massaging my hip with his hand and he placed his other hand on my other hip. Making sure he steadied himself when he kept thrusting in me.

I could really feel his thing in me and I murmured to him, "Tim, it feels good." I looked up ahead.

My tail while it was curled over my back, started twitching. My wings splayed over my sides, going limp so he would take me.

I felt him starting a rhythm with his thrusts and he started to go a bit faster. His hand gripping on my hip tight. He moaned a bit, "Cynder, you feel great." My body with his cock inside me was starting to used to him. My juices in my tunnel are slick now.

I formed a smile and begged, "Harder Tim. Give it to me harder."

Tim didn't say anything, but he obliged to my offer and he leaned his body over me, his head near my tail and gave it to me harder and deeper. Now THAT I could feel!

I finally moaned my pleasure to him when he gave it to me harder. His harder thrusting making my whole body move a bit, but I didn't slide away from him. I have to admit, it's better than him taking me when I was smaller than him, I don't feel tight for him anymore.

Tim huffed and groaned and I groaned with him. I voiced my pleasure in high heaven, "Ancestors!"

Tim pressed his hips against mine again and again. Not about to let up. His sweat dripping off of him. His breath labored by his own pleasure. He said, "Oh I love you so much, Cyn."

I looked back lovingly at him and screamed back when pleasure took ahold of me again, "I LOVE YOU TOO, TIM!" My walls in my tunnel clenched around his cock, and I looked up ahead again.

I could feel my orgasm coming, but then a idea came to me. I shouted to Tim, "Tim wait, stop!"

Tim stopped in an instant and asked. His expression acting like he did something wrong, "What's wrong Cynder?"

I looked back at him and said, "Pull yourself out of me for a minute and I'll show you." I gave him a smile.

Tim didn't argue and he pulled himself out of me. After he did that, I rolled onto my back. Making sure my wings are spread out and not crushed by my weight. I spread my legs for him, inviting him in me again. I looked over my body and looked at him. I said to him, "Take me this way, Tim. I want this night to be special for us. I want to look at you when you finish inside me."

Tim grinned at me and then he placed the tip of his malehood near my hole again. Then he went inside me again. Back to where we were before we've stopped. Tim slamming his hips in me faster and harder like before.

Tim placed one hand on my stomach, rubbing it tenderly, and as for the other hand, he gripped it on my leg as he took me harder.

I could really feel tremors on my spine as he took me harder. My tail moving on the ground back and forth beneath Tim. Ancestors, he really can thrust me like a dragon! For a little guy and me being bigger than him, he can do it!

I looked at him and closed my eyes tight, "Tim...Don't stop!"

Tim kept giving himself to me, not stopping at all. He moaned my name, "Cynder...I love you!"

My body feels like it was on fire now and I screamed again as he continued to thrust in me. Tim started to take short trembling breaths, that means he's getting close to the height of his peak.

He's going to let out all his essence out in me soon.

Tim's eyes closed tight, not letting the vision distract him from giving his seed to me. His thrusts became erratic now, he's almost there!

I could feel my orgasm approaching again and this time I came. I screamed loud in ecstasy, "TIM!!!!" My tunnel walls clenched hard and tight around his malehood and he sucked in a hard breath. He still kept going with his erratic thrusts, not letting up until he was finished.

Tim's cock is now deep like before and he screamed my name, "CYNDER!!!!"

And with one last hard deep thrust, he finally came in me. His essence started making hard, fast spurts, coating my tunnel walls with his essence.

I took it all in, glad that he did it to me like before. I opened my eyes and watched him cum inside me. Then I laid my head back and breathed heavily from my high. Tim laid his whole body on my stomach, still cumming in me.

Tim was breathing heavily as well, pretty much spent and wore out from all the thrusts. His spurts started to slow down to a trickle, he doesn't have anymore to give me.

Both of us just laid there, not moving until we both caught our breaths. Finally I raised my head off the ground and smiled in gratitude to him. He started to raised his head off my stomach to look at me as well. I said lovingly, "Tim."

Tim smiled back and said to me, "Cynder."

His thing between his legs finally softened and it popped out of my hole. Tim finally got himself off of me and I rolled myself onto my feet. Shaking my wings since they were a bit uncomfortable. I looked down at him and said, "Wow...Talk about doing this for old time's sake, because it really did felt like old time's sake!"

Tim laughed and I lowered my head to his level and gave his cheek a lick. He giggled after I did that and he stroked my cheek with his hand. He muttered to me, "Yeah...That was fun. You felt incredible."

Tim backed away and started to pick up his clothes, dressing himself back on for me. When he was done, he went back to me and started to caress my cheek again. I leaned into his touch.

Tim said to me when he was stroking me, "You know, Cynder...I'm glad you told Flame everything and left him. I don't think I could find anyone else like you."

I looked at him and he went on, "I missed you and missed this. I have to admit, we both haven't lost our touch."

I shook my head at him, "Flame was never like you. There would be no one like you. I...I couldn't replace you, even if I wanted to."

He nodded his head at me, "I know that now." He placed both hands to my face and we both kissed each other in the mouths again.

We both pulled away and I said to him with determination, "We won't let each other go this time. And I'll make sure of it. No matter what happens."

Tim smiled at me, "Me too. I'll make sure of it as well." He kissed my nose and said to me, "I love you, Cynder."

I nuzzled my head against his chest, "I love you too." And he wrapped his arms around my head, hugging me tight. Never letting me go.

Against all odds, me and you are back together again.

I won't let this go, Tim. I've started this with you five years ago and I will not stop this now. I'm not afraid anymore.

We will always be together.

No matter what.
