Her name: Ckaijen. Three days since it had hatched. Jay and Rissa were continuing their studies in the Ancient Language, more-so than before. Rissa was in the middle of a magic lesson, Ckaijen by her side, when someone knocked on the door. "Rainbow Dash, can you get that?" Taro shouted from the den. "Sure thing," she replied. Mumbling in the background. Oh well. Taro continued with the lesson. It was only Rissa, since Jay already knew much of the Ancient Language. "Now what is the spell..." "Taro! Somepony's here to see you!" "Be right back." Taro closed the book he was holding. The dragon beside Rissa jumped and squealed quietly after he left. "Look, can't this wait an hour, I..." Taro stopped when he saw who was in the door way. "Doctor?" "Hello, Taro. Spectacular performance, I must say. So, are you going to invite me in?" "By all means," Taro said, ushering him inside. Rainbow Dash closed the door. "So, what do we owe the pleasure to, mister..." "Just Doctor is fine, thank you. I was hoping to visit Taro, my favorite hero," The Doctor replied. Rainbow Dash sighed. "Well, would you like anything to drink... Doctor?" "I'm fine, thank you." Rainbow Dash left. "So Taro, how did you perform such a spectacular feat?" "I just fought, I don't know what you're talking about," Taro replied. "Not that, the dragon." "What do you mean?" "I've visited the future, that dragon isn't supposed to belong to her, it's supposed to belong to someone else." "What? No, that dragon knew who it belonged to from it's birth. It's Rissa's." "It's not supposed to be though, that's my point." "What did you see exactly?" "A girl, who was NOT Rissa, on a violet dragon." "I don't know why we have this one, then." "Neither do I. Perhaps it's another egg." "Can't be, we scanned for any more eggs with magic. There are none." "Didn't you scan for all other eggs before you found the violet one?" "Well, yes..." "And the red one before that?" "Technically yes, but..." "But nothing, this one could have escaped your grasp." The Doctor turned to leave. "I suggest you take a look. And besides, what's stopping Thatch from making more eggs?" "Taro, what was that about?" Rissa asked, stepping out with Ckaijen on her shoulder. "Nothing, although, remind me to speak to your father about something. Where were we?" Just then, Jay walked in. "Hey Jay," Rissa greeted. "Hi," he replied. "Dad, can I take her?" "Where?" "Out." "Just 'out'?" Jay nodded. "Alright," Taro said reluctantly. "Thanks Dad, let's go." Rissa put down Ckaijen. "Stay here, okay?" she asked it. The dragon jumped in approval. Jay held Rissa around her waist and they left. Rainbow Dash came into the room and wrapped her hooves around Taro's neck. "Looks like it's just us here tonight..." she whispered.
