Valentines Day

The day was going just as Paintra had planned. No boy had approached her yet, and she was completely certain no one would ever will. She acted like she didn't care to Graffiti, but deep down it really hurt her on an emotional level. Was she just not likable? Her brother, however, noticed that she was at least feeling down.
"Hey, you ever wonder if Scratch has love potion-somethin'-or-other in his stingers? I mean, they are in the shape of hearts. Maybe if I get him to sting Xandier he might gain the ability to love." her brother joked. Paintra chuckled, but she couldn't keep it in and let out a full blown laugh. Graffiti smiled, but then it quickly faded. "Speaking of Xandier..." He got up, calling Scratch to follow him. "I think we'll get to check that love potion thing." and left Paintra alone. She sighed. Why did he have to leave? She looked up at the sound of footsteps. Instead of it being Graffiti coming back as she hoped, it was (to her surprise) the lair weirdo, Estah. Even more of a shock, she wasn't wearing her usual outfit, she was actually wearing matching clothes. It looked so unnatural. She didn't seem so comfortable about it, either, though. Or was she uncomfortable about something else...
"H-hi Pai..." Estah stopped, and Paintra traced her gaze to what she was wearing. Did she like it? Paintra shook the thought. Estah was probably just another dragon left without a Valentine on Valentines Day looking for some company.
"Hi! Estah, was it?" Paintra noticed the other dragon blush as she nodded in response. As she looked at Estah's head, she found that the pearlcatcher was wearing beautiful silver flowers. They really suited her, too. "Nice flowers. Did you go all the way to the Viridian Labyrinth to pick them?" Again, Paintra was met with silence, but instead was left to observe as Estah reached her hand up and picked out a flower for her. Paintra couldn't help but blush, accepting the flower and putting it behind her ear. How thoughtful... the only other dragon that would do this for me is Graffiti... Estah seemed very nervous about something, her fumbling claws causing a head tilt from Paintra. Finally, the other dragon opened her mouth, and said the unbelievable: "W-will... Will you be my Valentine?"
Paintra smiled. Maybe this wasn't going to be such a lonely Valentines Day after all.
