The Tale of the Toymaker and the Dragon

by Alfoals Trottenbauer

VI - Dreams

She smiled, then rested on the dragon's head of hay roofing, nuzzling her head into it.

Snap made a thoughtful kind of snarl.

It was the first time he ever had said anything.

And then she fell asleep.

She dreamt of flying higher than the sky could hold.

As she dreamt, the dragon, too, fell asleep.

As the both slept, the world ticked on by.

It was night.

It was a beautiful night that Luna had so graciously given them.

Stuffy awoke in it.

She softly and quietly climbed off of Snap.

She looked to the moon. The wind blowing in her mane gently.

She looked at the stars.

She wondered if there was any planet like her Equestria.

She looked at the dragon of her own.

A tear befell her face as she had accomplished everything she'd ever wanted.

She wouldn't trade the world for it.
