Qibli: I have a present for you!

Winter: What is it? Also, you seem excited.

Qibli: 'Cause I am excited, also this gift will benefit both us.

Winter: So, a cabinet for each of us to secure our snacks in?

Qibli: No, but I'll be sure to write that down for your hatching day.

Winter: So, what the hell is it?

*Qibli grinned, then pulled out a large box*

*He moved the box towards Winter, and he looked at it curiously*

Winter: No gift wrapping paper? And why are there tiny holes in the top?

Qibli: You'll see.

*Winter sniffed the box tentatively, then carefully opened it. What he saw inside, surprised him. There were three tiny dragonets huddled together: two SandWings, and one little IceWing*

*The first SandWing was male, and slightly older than the other dragonets. He was scrawny and wobbly, his scales were bronze, with dark brown spots covering his back and snout*

*The second SandWing was female, unlike the other, she looked bouncy and full of life, and she was a vibrant gold, with a face filled with pale freckles. 

*Lastly, the IceWing, was female and looked the youngest of the three. She had a blank expression, and her scales were a pale blue, with big splotches of white covering most of her body*

Winter: Qibli... What the fuck?

Qibli: Winter! Language!

Winter: Why are there dragonets in the box?

Qibli: About that....we been dared to raise dragonets.

Winter: WHAT!?

Girl SandWing: Yeah! Dads!

Qibli: I went to a orphanage in the Scorpion Den this morning, and got these two *nods towards the SandWings*. Also, just so you're not left out, I also got an IceWing from a orphanage in Possibility.

Winter: ...

Qibli: Isn't that fun? Let me tell you their names.

*He points to the bronze SandWing*

Qibli: This is Armadillo, he may look like an SandWing, but he's really a Mud-Sand hybrid. Try not to shout around him, he's a little skittish.

*Points to female SandWing*

Qibli: This is Dawn, her and Armadillo aren't related, but they grew up together.

*Finally points to the IceWing*

Qibli: And this is Vanilla. She's just so cute.

Vanilla: Thank you for giving me a compliment, Father.

Qibli: And she's philosophical for her age.

Qibli:  *turns to dragonets* OK, I'm Qibli and the grumpy looking IceWing, is Winter. We're going to raise you from now on.

Armadillo: Hello...Mr Winter..sir.

Dawn: New family! Yes! :3

Vanilla: I am too, excited....yay.

Winter: Qibli... can we have a word.

Qibli: Sure...kids, your father and I need a moment.

*The two went to a different room, and the dragonets followed them. The three eavesdropped behind the closed door, and only heard Winter shouting, and Qibli trying calm him down*

Dawn: Why are they fighting?

Armadillo: What do you think? That IceWing hates us, we're going to be sent back to the orphanage again...

Dawn: Don't say that!

Vanilla: Listen to Sister, and might I suggest...cool your jets.

Armadillo: Well, it's true! Why would they want a skittish hybrid, a hyperactive SandWing, and some...weird IceWing?

Vanilla: Touché.

Dawn: But--

Armadillo: No buts, Dawn, they're just like all the others. We'll be sent back as soon as they're done--

*Suddenly, Winter comes out and looks down at the dragonets*

Dawn: Oh no...

Winter: You guys were eavesdropping. 

Winter: *sigh* Listen, there's something I need to tell you--

Armadillo: *sniff*

*Everyone turned in surprise, and saw Armadillo holding his head down, tears poured down his face*

Winter: Kid--?

Armadillo: Leave me alone! You're going to send us back...back to that awful place... *sniff*

*Winter tilts his head and reaches his talons towards the dragonet. Armadillo tries to move away, but Winter picks him up. He holds the dragonet to his chest, and Armadillo ended up curled into ball, his cries muffled*

Qibli: What's going on?

Dawn: *tearing up* Armadillo's upset...because you were going to send us away.

Qibli: What? No, we're not.

Vanilla: You're not?

Winter: No. I was angry at first, but then Qibli convinced me.

*Winter looked down at Armadillo, who was still huddled close to his chest*

Winter: Nobody is going anywhere, you're staying right here, whether I like it or not. That's sound right, kid?

*Armadillo wiped his eyes, managing a small nod*

Qibli: Well, today has been eventful, how about we all get some rest?

Dawn: OK!

Vanilla: I wish to be reclaimed by my sleep demons as well.

Winter: *looks at her* OK, you're starting to scare me with that philosophy shit.

Later:

Dawn: Dad?

Winter: Sweetie, I'm sleeping.

Dawn: You're awake now.

Winter: *sigh* OK, what is it?

Dawn: I think I'm going to enjoy having a family.

Winter: That's nice.

Armadillo: I think I'm going to enjoy it too...

Winter: Armie, I can't have both of you awake.

Vanilla: Three of us, Father.

Winter: Goddammit-- All of you, should go to sleep.

Dawn: But, why?

Winter: Because if you don't, I'm going to blow a fucking casket--

Qibli: Winter! You can't use that language around dragonets!

Vanilla: Tell me...what is this fuck, you speak of?

Armadillo: Mr Winter! Look what you done!

Winter: Well, you should've gone to sleep!

Qibli: *sigh* This is going to take a lot to get use to...
