Rain was still falling cold and breeze slap Zany face as she was walking. Her hood tight, slippers splashing inside the puddle on the road. The tiny colored dragon was still on her finger.
At first she was afraid,her hand was shaking ,and her heart pounding. She wanted to fling it away, but the dragon wings flap her gentle, rainbow sparks scatter on her wet jeans. The light from the spark didn't burn, it just tickle. She burst out to laugh, because she was surprise.
The Dragon didn't talk, but uses sign that she understand. Anytime he flap wing twice, it means dont fear. When he bend the tail like hook, it means follow me. When sparks turn yellow, it means hope. When sparks turn green, it means peace. That's how thier conversation was going. They keep moving together, the dragon still sit on her finger like a stubborn friend.
They pass a broken kiosk, and the dragon flap wing, the color burst out—red for wall, blue for sky, green for ground. Zany laugh, and whisper, “You are stubborn o. I wanted to cry but you keep forcing me to smile.” Dragon spin small again, and sparks scatter all around her.
She stretch hand, dragon still dey cling to her, wings shining. She whisper, “So it's joy that you bring to me? Even when everything upsets me?” Dragon bow his head, wings fold, then point tail to her chest. Zany understand that he said, "joy is inside you."
They finally reach one empty bus stop. The Dragon flap wing, sparks form smile shape. Zany laugh again, and sit on the rusty bench on there. However rain was dripping from the bus stop roof, but dragon sparks was still falling like fireflies round her. Suddenly, the bus stop light that has spoil begin to glow. She was shock. “I'm not doubting, its you that did this?” The Dragon spin fast, and the rainbow scatter. She understand it means that color can wake dead things.
But one puddle near the bench didn't glow the rainbow, it just turn dark blue. Zany bend down to look, inside the puddle she see herself sitting alone—no dragon, no light just her alone. She was frozen. “Look it's me without you?” The Dragon hover, drop white spark on her palm. She understand that it means courage. She hold it tight, and whisper, “So even if you are not here, I can still shine?” Dragon flap his wing slow and nodded then sparks form heart shape. Zany laugh through tears.
Rain was still falling but her chest now was lighter. The Dragon was still clinging on her finger, and very playful, spilling chase sparks round her head, making her laugh till she forget that she have been lonely.
Then suddenly, the dragon wings changed not rainbow colors again, but a sharp silver sparks that cut through the rain like a blade. Zany blink, full with confusion. The Dragon point his tail straight ahead, and for the first time she see a reflection of her and the dragon opposite them. At this point she was afraid and wanted to run,but couldn't move at that point she was trembling with fear. But the dragon sprinkles another warm spark around making her to calm down.
The Dragon then flap wing once, sparks scattered into air and vanished like a signal to her. Then spark again then a love shape developed mixing with yellow, green,blue orange and gold color. The Dragon point to the love shape and then point his tail to zany heart.

"Are you trying to teach me how to love?" she said why laughing in shocked trying to understand what the dragon meant. The Dragon didn't respond he use his tail to push the love shape on the air to zany chest. Zany was just curious and looking what is happening. "What are you doing?" Shea asked. The Dragon give her a smiling face and hum a very soft sound that cools the heart of zany.
As the dragon pushes the love shape to zany chest the shape splash and spark into many beautiful colors. "Oh my God" Zany said. She laugh so hard and she was also surprised too seeing the beautiful spark on her chest. That was when Zany understand that this journey just started and there's more to this.
