Fireworks

This is for the FanWings February Contest! Theme: Love

Alright, so you know in the book Darkstalker, when the two first meet? Clearsight, and Darkstalker? Well, if not, here's how it went down.

"Very impressive." Clearsight said.
"What?" Darkstalker gave her a charming grin. "What'd I do?"
"I don't know how you engineered it," She said. "but wow, you covered everything, didn't you? Courage, check. Cares about his sister, check. Defending the vulnerable, standing up to bullies, making sure everyone apologizes neatly. With a little demonstration of power to show off your intelligence at the end, too. Did you pay those guys? Because that was just perfect."
"Do I know you?" He asked,
She laughed despite herself, although she was fiercely trying not to. He just looked so wounded and so mischievous at the same time.
 "Oh, wait," he said. "Did we meet on that fishing trip last month? No, hang on, I remember. Aha! You're on the queen's Council of Ancient Elders, is that it?"
"You goober." She said, wrinkling her snout at him.
"YOU'RE the one talking all the romance out of this," He said. "It's SUPPOSED to go, 'that was so brave, how you stood up for your sister like that!' 'Oh, that, what, no, it's what any dragon would do.' 'No, no, - you're special. I can tell.' 'Not as special as YOU. There's a magic about you that I've never found in any other dragon!' 'Why- why do I feel as though I've known you forever?' 'Because you have . . . and you will.' Fireworks! True love and happiness for the rest of our lives!"
"You didn't prepare actual fireworks, did you?" She asked.
"N-nooooo," He said. "Not if you. . . hate fireworks?

So, even though the fireworks didn't go off,  I imagine they did in both of their hearts <3 ^^
