Seriously, who actually hugs another dragon? It's just... wrong.

And he had to hug all of them.

There was no way for this day to be any worse.

Or so Garble thought.

Thanks to Lance Kasey for the idea!

A white mare did her best not to so much as blink, something that proved very difficult as the not-so-young girl clutching her squeezed all the tighter and stroked her velvety soft purple mane. Just a few more minutes, and they would be there. A few more minutes until she came to her new "home".
Rarity only hoped she could survive that long.
