Simon's POV:

And to think I was gonna have a good day today... NOPE. Something just HAD to happen, huh?

Currently, I was walking around the streets, busy acting all cool and unbothered, but as morning passed to afternoon, then to evening, my worries began to grow. I had seen everyone today:

Oren, Raddy, Clukr, Fun Bot, Vineria, Gray, brud, Garnold, OWAKCX, Sky, Mr. Sun, Mr. Tree, Tunner, Mr. Fun Computer, Wenda, Pinki, Jevin and Black.

...Hmm. I dunno, someone seems to be missing from this list. Oh right!

It was Durple.

He's the one I hadn't seen yet... all. Damn. Day.

Usually I would leave him be, but he has NEVER just disappeared into thin air like that! Earlier today I was joking around with myself: "Maybe he magically grew wings and flew off; he is a dragon after all!" But those words did little to nothing to cheer me up...

'Damnit... where the hell are you, stupid dragon?' I unconsciously kicked rocks as I thought to myself, my worry only growing.

Should I go check on him? I mean, maybe he's still sleeping... but wait, not at no damn 6pm!! He has to be awake! Ugh... I gotta go check on him. My decision is final.

I head over to his house and knock. I receive no response.

...Maybe speaking will work?

"Durple! You in there?"

I once again recieve no response, tempting me to try and picklock the door. But odd enough, I twist the knob, and it opens. 'Why the hell is his door unlocked...?'

My worry only grows as I steadily head inside, looking around Durple's house for any trace of him. Eventually I find relief upon spotting him in his room, but he was sitting in a corner all... distant and sad.

Did something happen?

"...Durple?" I call out to him. "You good, man?"

"..."
He stays silent.

A chill goes down my spine as I observe my friend, who still wasn't moving or speaking. This isn't like him at all... something is definitely wrong.

"You're kinda freaking me out, Durps..." I take a few steps closer, and Durple's fins raise a bit, letting me know that he hears me. It relieves me a bit, but not enough for me to be satisfied.

"Are you okay?" I ask, hoping to recieve a sign that he was still there.

Hearing no response once again, I then place a hand on his shoulder, making him tense up. Still, I don't back down, taking a seat next to him.
"Durple... what's going on? You gotta tell me if you want me to help ya."

He continues to remain silent for a bit, until finally, he speaks.
"I just wanna be a dragon..."

I raise an eyebrow. Has bro gone insane or something? What the fuck was he on? Ain't he a dragon already? I roll my eyes at him. "Jeez Durple, you ARE a dragon already. What are you on about?-"

"A REAL ONE, Simon!" Durple suddenly snaps at me, giving me a deadly glare.

I flinch, pulling my hand away. For some reason, he scared me... Usually I'm not the type to show fear or anything like that, but right now, I'm pratically trembling. I wanted to speak to him, but now I could hardly think of any words to say to him right now.
This... this is so sudden. What do I do? What do I say to help him?

Durple stands abruptly, looking down at me, and an lf I look up at him.
"I wanna breathe fire! I wanna fly! I want to have something besides scales and fins that show what I am!; not like i have scales either... Everyone else has something, and... and what do I have? Some lizard tail?" He points to his limp tail that sorta does look like a lizard tail...

I go silent, not knowing what to say. I know he ain't angry at me, but hearing how distraught he was... it made me feel bad; alas, I let him continue his rant. He needed it.

"And these horns..." He grabs ahold of them, his irritation rising. But after a few moments of silence, he slowly releases them, his arms falling back down to his sides as his eyes dart down to the flooring. "I don't even know.... I just wanna be a dragon, okay? Not what I am right now.." He pauses. "...a dissapointment " Durple whimpers the last part, taking a seat down onto the bed.

After noticing that he's calmed down, I slowly rise to my own two feet. "Durple." I call his name and stand in front of him, but he refuses to look up at me.

I take it upon myself to move, and I crouch down in front of him, my elbows now resting on my knees; Durple still refuses to look up at me, bit that isn't what I want now. What I want right now is to make him happy in some way....

"You're more of a dragon than you'll ever be."

Finally Durple looks up at me, but instead of shock or happiness, irritation flared in his eyes. "Oh really? What makes you say that?"

"Because obviously you don't need all of that stuff to be one."

"Yes I do, Simon! You don't know anything about not fitting in..."

I sigh deeply. "I do, actually. Look at me!" I tell him, standing up straight. Durple looks up at me, but gives me a look that tells me that he doesn't get the message.

"Durple, oh my god.... I'm an adult who acts like a child. Even Sky can be more mature than me at times! Heh, to be honest, I have no idea what I even am." I look down at my hands in contemplation. "An alien? An insect? I don't know...."

I drop my hands and look up at Durple, who has gone silent. He looks more calm now, but doesn't look any more happier than he was earlier.

So I take it upon myself to cheer him up.

"But I don't need to find myself in order to help others find who THEY are. We're similar in a way." I take both of his hands into mine with a smile on my face.
"You don't need scales to be tough, because you already are; and that isn't a stretch at all."

Durple chuckles a bit, urging me to continue. "You don't need to breathe fire to be hot, your heart is already 10× warmer than that." I place a hand on his chest.

"And you don't need wings to be free. You give people that freedom, Durple. And that makes you more better than any other dragon combined."

I slowly remove my hands and look up at Durple, who looked more flattered than anything. "...Just remember what I said, alright? I'll give you some tome to cool off, man." I the release him with a nod and walked off.

But before I could, I was suddenly yanked back. "Hey!!What the!?-"

I immediately shut up, feeling Durple wrap his arms around me in a tight hug. I slowly return it, gently patting his back in reassurance. "Thank you, Simon." I hear him speak after a moment of silence.

He looks up at me, and I give him a warm smile in return. "Anytime, Durple."

Durple's POV:

Oh fuck...

I'm gay now.
