While walking,Emilia noticed that there were decorations all around them.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know."

"Did you really forget?"A male asked.

"Hey!I have a lot on my plate!"Cookie exclaimed.

"Well,the village is holding a dance.Get a dress for your new friend."The male said before walking away.

"How could I have forgotten that?"Cookie asked,shaking her head in annoyance.

"It's easy to forget things sometimes."Emilia said,trying to cheer Cookie up.

"Crap!Crapcrapcrapcrap!I have to tell my family I'm back!" Cookie then ran off,leaving Emilia alone.

"Maybe I should ask someone about this place.."Emilia looked around.There were people setting up for the dance,.People talking..Oh!Someone by themselves!Emilia hated to disturb them,but she couldn't exactly barge into a conversation.What if it was about private topics!?

"Excuse me,miss?"Emilia asked,waking over to the girl.

The female looked at her,not speaking.

"Miss,can you speak?"

"...rry..I don't..that well.."The girl obviously wasn't good at speaking ,considering the fact her voice faded at times.

"Could you tell me about DragonClaw?"

"..ou new?"

"New?I guess you could say that.."

"......yo..like...know....?"

"Could you tell me something interesting?"

As the female began to talk,Emilia started to tune her out.Emilia wasn't purposely not listening,no!It's just that the girl's voice was so soft,Emilia missed a lot.Emilia decided to look at the girl closer.

The female's hair was somewhat long and reminded Emilia of fire.Her eyes were a dark green,and her skin was fairly tanned.She was wearing a gray cloak with a gray dress underneath.

"Mia!"Cookie called,seeing her long-time friend and Emilia nearby each other.That was a relief,Mia almost never got into trouble.Emilia?She seemed to follow the rules...She stood nearby the two.

"Cookie!Hi!"Mia said,her voice able to be heard.

"Oh,so your name is Mia?"Emilia asked,smiling,"That's a nice name!"

"Uh..thank you."Mia said,before glancing at the paper beside her.

"What's that?"Emilia asked.

"A song I'm singing,"Mia rolled her eyes,"Even though I know it by heart."

"Wait really?"

"Yes..?"

"That's amazing!"

"Thank you!"

Cookie could tell Mia was getting embarrassed by the compliments."Well,Mia,I'd love to hear you sing at the dance tonight!Emilia,we have to get you a dress!"Cookie guided Emilia away from Mia.

Only a few minutes later,the two were at the tailor's shop.

"Why are we here?You have a dress,correct?"

"Yes,but you need one,too."

The tailor,Miss Pota,measured Emilia,"Cookie,go on and get ready.I can handle this."

Cookie nodded before leaving.

"Miss,please remove your cloak.I can't get a proper measurement with it on."

"I-I can't!"

"Why's that?"

"I just..can't."

Afterwards,Cookie walked back wearing her dress-a baby blue off the shoulder dress."How's everything.."She trailed off,seeing that there was no visible progress.

"She refuses to take off her cloak."Miss Pota huffed.

"Emilia..please take off your cloak..If it's a secret you can't share,we'll keep it safe..."

Emilia paused.Should she?Her father forbid her from taking her cloak off in front of people...."Just....give me the smallest dress.."

At sunset,the villagers all went to the plaza.

There was a small stage made of wood with some hay bales scattered around the stage.

Tables dotted the plaza.On said tables was food.

Emilia was..amazed!"Dances look so fun.."

"They are.."Mia said,smiling.Wait-Where did she come from?!

"Where..?"

"I walked up from behind you.."

Emilia was soon dancing,hoping her..No,she had to admit to Cookie.Cookie was the medic helping her!Emilia walked over to Cookie after a dance.

"Cookie,I have to tell you something."

"What is it?"

Emilia looked around before showing...her wings.

"You're gifted with flight?!"

"Ah,Cookie,just the lady I wanted to see..."
