Although she was somewhat upset that no one seemed to like her idea of having a group hug, MDP knew that she had more important things to worry about. There wasn’t much time left before Penny’s next match, and the playful Princess of Dreams had just remembered that she had yet to apologize to a certain friend for missing her match. Thus, the whimsical girl had set out to do so before the next round began. Upon finally catching sight of the friend in question, she gave a squeal of delight as she bounced over. 

[color=DeepPink]“Mayra Wayra~! (giggle!)”[/color] MDP called out, before glomping the dragon girl and squeezing her tight. [color=DeepPink]“Like, Magical Dream Princess is sooo super duper sorry for missing wissing your matchy watchy!”[/color] the bubbly girl told her draconic friend. [color=DeepPink]“She, like, really [i]really[/i] wanted to be there to cheer Mayra Wayra on, but she was, like, super duper busy wusy training waining with Penny Wenny, but, like, Connie Wonnie told her all about it~! (giggle!) Like, she said that you were totally wotally awesome wasome, and that you even weven turned into an actual wactual dragon wagon~! (giggle!) Like, Magical Dream Princess thinkie winkies that must have been sooo super duper cool~! (giggle!) But, like, Connie Wonnie also said that you losty wosty…”[/color] the whimsical girl added with a frown, before brightening back up again an instant later. [color=DeepPink]“But [i]then[/i] she said that you weren’t super duper sad about it, which made Magical Dream Princess super duper happy wappy~! (giggle!)”[/color]

The scene MDP walked into had three individuals in conversation. There was the green-haired, elfin girl Lea, looking at Mayra with a stern expression. There was Mayra, smiling right back and nodding. Then there was Jelena, who was sitting and kicking with her legs looking slightly bothered about something.

Then MDP called out, making Lea frown as she looked over, Jelena turn from looking bothered to chuckling, and Mayra turning to curiously look over before being promptly glomped.

[color=fc6828]‘Oh!’[/color] Mayra called out in surprise at the realization that she’d been glomped, and immediately kicked to spin around with a minor fiery burst to spin with the dreamy girl while grabbing ahold of her in turn. [color=fc6828]‘Heeey, it’s the dream princess!’[/color] she called happily before eventually not actually coming to a stop but would totally try to keep spinning throughout the conversation.

[color=fc6828]‘Haha, no worries! You can’t be everywhere at the same time. That’d be a cool power…’[/color] Mayra said, immediately distracted.  [color=fc6828]‘Anyway, training with Penny, eh? What kind of training? Did you beat her? Hahaha!’[/color] The idea of MDP beating Penny in anything was hilarious.

[color=fc6828]‘Yeah, I did that! It’s too bad the rules say you lose if you just touch the water, because I could totally have beat her if it was a real fight! I’m tougher than that! Oooh, but that Avatar power, though. That is SO SWEET! I wonder if she’d tell me how she got it? Aaaah, I want to fight her again…!’[/color] Mayra said, giggling about events that had transpired.

[color=c1eb9b]‘… Hmpf. Don’t forget,’[/color] Lea just said, before turning and walking.

[color=fc6828]‘Yeah, yeah, I got it, I got it,’[/color] Mayra replied, still focused on MDP as she waved off Lea. Jelena was leaning a hand on her chin as she was inspecting MDP clinging to the dragon girl for the moment.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Mayra’s spinning hug didn’t seem to bother MDP in the slightest. In fact, the whimsical girl found it quite fun! [color=DeepPink]“Weeeee~!”[/color] the playful girl cheered, while giggling happily. Then Mayra inquired about her training with Penny, and a small blush began to color her cheeks. [color=DeepPink]“Weeeell… We mostly wostly just played aroundy woundy…”[/color] MDP conceded, while slightly averting her eyes. [color=DeepPink]“But, like, Magical Dream Princess also helpy welpied Penny Wenny practice wactise some special wecial strategy watagies~!”[/color] she added, quickly brightening back up. Mayra went on to ask if MDP was able to beat her cybernetic girlfriend. [color=DeepPink]“Like, she [i]did[/i] manage wanage to do it [i]one[/i] timey wimey, but that was only because Penny Wenny let her~”[/color] MDP replied with a giggle. 

MDP grinned broadly as Mayra talked about her match, but her expression changed to one of slight confusion when her draconic friend mentioned a power she had never heard of before. [color=DeepPink]“Avatar Wavatar~?”[/color] the innocent girl inquired. [color=DeepPink]“Like, what’s [i]that~?[/i]”[/color]

[color=fc6828]‘Hahaha! Yeah, play-fighting is fine. One of these days, I want to fight her, too. Not just fighting for fighting's sake, but like a real encounter with an objective beyond our control, and… hahaha…’[/color] Mayra thought it was amusing to think about it. She listened to MDP’s bunch of comments, and then grinned at the last mention.

[color=fc6828]‘I had to ask that, too! Apparently it’s a power that allows you to use every specialization, AT THE SAME TIME! Something about at reduced magic strength and it taking a bunch of mana to do, but that girl boosted herself with all enhancements imaginable for that last attack, and used both time and darkness to catch me! That’s like, SO powerful! Hahaha!’[/color] Mayra laughed as she discussed this.

They’re still spinning, Jelena’s raised an eyebrow at them.

Hearing Mayra’s desire to fight Penny caused MDP to frown slightly. [color=DeepPink]“Like, Magical Dream Princess guesses wesses that might be fun to watch…”[/color] she conceded. [color=DeepPink]“But, like, Magical Dream Princess wouldn’t be able wable to cheer for Mayra Wayra if she was fighting Penny Wenny,”[/color] the whimsical girl added, looking somewhat upset. [color=DeepPink]“A-And you and Penny Wenny might get hurt, and, and, Magical Dream Princess would really wuv it if you and Penny Wenny didn’t fight and became friendy wendies instead~! (giggle!) Unless…”[/color] she said after a moment as an idea occurred to her. [color=DeepPink]“By fighting each other wother, Mayra Wayra and Penny Wenny can helpy welpy each other wother get stronger wonger, then that would be, like, totally wotally okie dokie~! (giggle!)”[/color] the bubbly girl declared with a big smile.

A moment later, MDP gasped in shock when Mayra revealed just what Avatar allowed one to accomplish. [color=DeepPink]“Wowie zowie~! Every wevery magical wagical thingie wingie at the same timey wimey~?! That’s, like, super [i]duper[/i] powerful wowerful~!”[/color] the whimsical girl exclaimed in amazement. [color=DeepPink]“Like, Magical Dream Princess had no idea something womething like that was even weven possible wossible~!”[/color]

[color=fc6828]‘RIIIGHT!? It was so awesome…!’[/color] Mayra had to say about the Avatar-power. Taking that first, because on that first part… Mayra had a lot more to say.

[color=fc6828]‘Hahahaha, no, getting hurt’s part of it!’[/color] Mayra declared with a wide grin. [color=fc6828]‘Back where I came from, those battles happened all the time! The leader of the pack was the strongest one, and her power could be challenged at any time! There were battles to decide who led what pack, battles to decide who gets to hunt where, and battles to decide who gets to mate with the one they want! Those battles with something on the line, those were the greatest! Now, nobody actually aimed to kill the opponent, the more of us the stronger we are, after all, but some bruises and bleeding was always part of it! That’s not even mentioning the battles for our survival against other species… They were so exhilarating!’[/color] Mayra said, smiling widely. Her home dimension was a very different place.

[color=fc6828]‘Here’s not entirely the same, it’s not the strongest that leads, and things are a lot more complicated most of the time. But I get to hunt random monsters and get paid for it! It’s great! And, and, battles DO happen! And there’s a whole lot more friends! I’m stronger than I once was, too! It’s great!’[/color] Mayra said, the dragon girl decently excited as she spoke.

They’re still spinning, and Jelena is starting to wonder if she should do something to stop the spinning. Maybe they were about to drill through the floor or something. Or burn through. Mayra’s feet was on fire continuously propelling them to spin, after all.

As MDP listened to Mayra’s explanation of how things worked in her home dimension, the whimsical girl tried to wrap her ditzy and innocent mind around what was being said. While she certainly didn’t like to see her friends get hurt, even with her currently watered-down intelligence, she could still understand the basics of what Mayra was telling her. Animals who lived in packs behaved in a similar fashion, after all, and if no one got killed, then she supposed it was okay. That wasn’t to say she didn’t have any questions, though.

[color=DeepPink]“Like, Magical Dream Princess guesses wesses that’s okie dokie…”[/color] MDP replied with a thoughtful frown. [color=DeepPink]“But, like, where exactly wactly [i]did[/i] Mayra Wayra come from~?”[/color] she inquired, completely oblivious to the fact that they were still spinning around. 

The question prompted Mayra to very suddenly give a burst of flame in the opposite direction of their spinning, making them come to a complete stop. She gazed intently at MDP, before grinning with wide eyes at her. [color=fc6828]‘Would you like to see!? I could totally take you there! I could introduce you to the pack, show you the sights and the battles, and…!’[/color] Mayra said, not answering the question.

[color=b0817b]‘Mayra’s a dragon from the dragon-dimension,’[/color] Jelena answered in Mayra’s place, chuckling and leaning back over there. [color=b0817b]‘It’s filled with dangerous and wild monsters, and there’s no civilization, technology or even [i]humans[/i] to speak of. Mayra here has never once actually been human, and had to learn all human things from scratch. As for the dimension, I don’t recommend going there if you don’t like things trying to eat you whole, heh,’[/color] the girl with the mechanical limbs continued, with some more chuckles.

[color=fc6828]‘Oh, she could totally handle it! Dream princess is strong! Besides, I’d be there, too!’[/color] Mayra defended with a grin, to which Jelena just shrugged.

MDP was slightly taken aback by Mayra’s offer, but quickly recovered her usual bubbly disposition. [color=DeepPink]“Wowie zowie~! Like, that soundy woundies super duper fun~! (giggle!)”[/color] the whimsical girl cheered, innocently oblivious to any potential danger until Jelena spelled things out. However, MDP’s main take-away from the explanation was perhaps somewhat different than what the metal-limbed girl might have hoped… [color=DeepPink]“For realsies~?!”[/color] the whimsical girl exclaimed, her eyes going wide. [color=DeepPink]“Mayra Wayra’s an actual wactual dragon wagon~?! That’s, like, sooo super duper cool~! (giggle!) And, like, Mayra Wayra’s totally wotally right about Magical Dream Princess being super duper powerful wowerful, and if Mayra Wayra was there too, then she’d feel, like, super duper safey wafey~! (giggle!) Oh…”[/color] she frowned, her voice trailing off as something occurred to her. [color=DeepPink]“But Magical Dream Princess just remember wembered… Penny Wenny’s next matchy watchy is starting super soon, and, like, Magical Dream Princess wants to be there to cheer her on, so, like, maybe waybe we can visit wisit later water~?”[/color] she inquired hopefully. [color=DeepPink]“And, like, when we do, could Mayra Wayra maybe waybe turn into an actual wactual dragon wagon, and could Magical Dream Princess maybe waybe ride her~?!”[/color] she asked, her eyes glittering with excitement. [color=DeepPink]“Could she~?! Could she~?! Could she~?!”[/color]  

[color=fc6828]‘See!? She’s totally safe!’[/color] Mayra insisted happily. Jelena shrugged.

[color=b0817b]‘Whelp, it’s on you if she gets eaten by a plant, crushed by a behemoth or poisoned by a manticore or something,’[/color] Jelena figured. There was a reason why Asengav had wanted to tame something from that dimension, it’s really dangerous.

[color=fc6828]‘Teh-heh, yupp! Dragon made into magical girl form! It was really weird at first, but I got the hang of it!’[/color] Mayra declared with a big smile. There then was the part about needing to watch Penny’s match. Of course Mayra understood that, and… 

[color=b0817b]‘That’s fine. Mayra’s going to need to ask a couple people for permission and help, first, as she can’t actually get back on her own, she needs the help of people who can actually cross dimensions to get there,’[/color] Jelena mentioned, and Mayra acted like she hadn’t heard. Then there was the part about riding Mayra…

[color=b0817b]‘That’s not a good idea. When Mayra goes back to being a dragon, she loses-’[/color] Jelena started.

[color=fc6828]‘OF COURSE you can! It’ll be great!’[/color] Mayra completely cut her off.

[color=b0817b]‘[sub]… loses her human gifts and becomes basically a beast that can’t necessarily see the difference between ally and prey, but you know what? You do you, you’re apparently safe, what do I know,[/sub]’[/color] Jelena finished, a bit more quiet.

[color=DeepPink]“Yaaay~! (giggle!)”[/color] MDP cheered, completely oblivious to Jelena’s concerns. [color=DeepPink]“Like, Magical Dream Princess always wanted to fly aroundy woundy on a dragon wagon, and it’ll be even weven better wetter if that dragon wagon is a friendy wendy, like Mayra Wayra~! (giggle!)”[/color]

[color=fc6828]‘Great! It’s decided, then!’[/color] Mayra says with a grin. Jelena sighed behind there.

[color=DeepPink]“Okie dokie~! (giggle!)”[/color] MDP chirped, while winking and flashing a peace sign. [color=DeepPink]“Like, Magical Dream Princess thinky winkies she should probably wobably get going nowie, but she’s, like, really, [i]really[/i] looking forward to visiting wisiting Mayra Wayra’s homey womey~! (giggle!)”[/color] she added with a cheerful smile. Twirling around, the whimsical girl gave voice to a stream of happy giggles, before racing off to the location of Penny’s next match, her arms held out like a pair of airplane wings. [color=DeepPink]“Bye bye for nowie~! (giggle!)”[/color] 

[color=fc6828]‘Byyye!’[/color] Mayra waved after her with both hands and a wide smile as MDP skipped away, Jelena looking on with a slight frown as she watched the scene that was currently concluding. She waited a couple seconds before she said what’s on her mind.

[color=b0817b]‘Are you sure making friends with people from this world is a good idea?’[/color] Jelena asked, looking with a little frown at Mayra.

[color=fc6828]‘Eeeeh, what’s the harm?’[/color] Mayra asked, shrugging and smiling so happily.

[color=b0817b]‘She’ll be really hurt, you know,’[/color] Jelena reminded, continuing her incredulous look.

[color=fc6828]‘Haha,’[/color] Mayra gave a brief laugh, before looking back at Jelena with a happy grin. [color=fc6828]‘Yeah.’[/color]
