Ally lifted up the blanket and sort of managed to get Ice out of his predicament.  "There you are, silly little fellow."  She smiled.  Having a dog was exactly as great as everyone said it was - or at least so far.  The only problem she had was her mom.  Getting supplies and hiding a puppy is no way to do things right, but Ally would accomplish this somehow.

But perhaps she had to check the time.  It was.... almost seven o'clock?!  It could not be possible that hours had gone by just like that.  Time just goes by so quickly these days, she had no idea what she was doing to fill it up right then.

Dylln whuffed his joy at being free, and leapt up nexted the girl, sitting back and grinning up at her, his tail thudding on the ground. His worries at the start of the night were completely uncalled for; she had been a lovely person to him, even going so far as to set up this interesting little 'living quarters'. He decided, then, made up his mind.

Whoever this strange girl was, that defied the behaviour the rest of her kind seemed to show, she was his new master. He would defend her no matter what happened, and remain by her side for as long as he lived.

"You have to be a secret though, ok, Ice?  My mom would kill me and probably throw you out at the first sight of you.  But I'll make sure that she never separates us.  Anyways, you probably don't know who I am, do you?  Since I know who you are, I'm going to tell you that my name's Ally.  My dad died in a car accident four years ago, and ever since, I've been living with my mom.  She's nice and all, but I don't spend much quality time with her and on some days when she's tired she has a really short fuse.  Her name's Molly.  This is my room, and you'll probably be here or roaming during your time with me.  When it's just me home, you can go anywhere, but when mom's home, you should stay in my room... sorry about that," Ally said.

She scratched the back of her head and added, "That... was a lot.  Sorry for dumping that on you."

(He should change into a dragon soon :o )

[[Yes he should. o 3o 'Cept he needs a trigger first. ;o He has to have like, triggers, to change. Why he can't change back into a human. :C He can prolly shift without them, he just hasn't figured out how yet.]]

Dylln sat back on his haunches, somberly looking up at his master as she spoke. She had a harsh life, clearly. He wouldn't mind hiding in her room all day, if he needed to, and if it would make her happier for him to, if it would make her life easier. He whuffed softly to show he didn't mind, before scooting forward, and nudging his nose into her hand. He wanted to talk to her, tell her he didn't mind, didn't mind staying hidden, but couldn't. He'd have to make do with trying to make her happy, instead.

(I thought it was just changing at night.  But... Hm.. a trigger..)

Ally looked down at Ice and said, "You know what?  I'm going to show you the magic of TV!"  She went downstairs to the living room and switched the television on.  Flopping onto the couch, she began to flip through a bunch of channels.  Infomercials?  No.  News?  No.  Ways to die?  Ew, no.  Mythical animals on the animal channel?  Sure.  Ally wondered what it would be like for Ice to see TV and see other animals on it, so this just might provide some entertainment.  Instead of the, uh... Super-Grill infomercial..

[[Mmmhmm. It can be pretty much anything, so long as it's like. Something. xD
Actually, should any dragons make an appearance on TV, it might just shock him into shifting. o 3o Before he turned into a pup, he kinda lived like a hermit with his dad in the forest, so he'd never even seen a TV as a human. |D]]

Dylln grinned and ran downstairs after her, wondering what she was going on about. He'd heard of TV before, and knew what it was, but had never really seen one before. When he walked into the room with a box in the corner, there were people moving on the inside. The people were changing, and then there were things in the box, and then there were animals. Mystified, he ran up to it at full-pelt, stopping just before he crashed into it. His muzzle was pressed right up to the screen, and he glanced back to Ally for reassurance before sticking his face up to the TV again.

Ally laughed, and waved her and in a motion that said 'go ahead.'  "You know, Ice, all dogs seem to really enjoy this TV stuff.  So many cute videos on the internet... Maybe I should put you on YouTube," she joked.  The show was quite interesting, talking about the Loch Ness monster and Bigfoot.  Then it came to a dragon segment.  Usually, shows like this convinced Ally, but then some other show made her think it wasn't real.  Ghost shows made her paranoid sometimes, too.

(Took forever.  Sorry.  I've been neglecting Res. :c )

Ally was so concerned with watching the TV, at first she didn't even notice Ice's change.  The yelp signalled to her that something had happened and she looked down calmly to see a dragon.  Like the ones... on the television.  Weren't they fake?  They couldn't be... real, could they?!  This simply wasn't possible, especially since it wasn't a costume - dogs don't put on costumes - and nobody else was in the house with her and it was all just so.... so... freaky!

She couldn't help but scream and scrunch back into the couch, covering her mouth.  She was shaking with fear.  "Wh.... Wh... ICE?  WHERE ARE YOU?" Ally panicked.  This couldn't be her little Ice.  It couldn't.  This thing... was a legend.  A mythical beast.  Yes, Ally thought dragons were pretty darned cool, but at the moment, that thought wasn't running through her head.  Instead, it was something like OH MY GOD DRAGON DEAR GOD.

Ally leaned forward, but stiffened.  The dragon's song was interesting.  Cute, even, possibly melodious if she wasn't so terrified.  She reached out her hand and said, "Ice?  Do you.. Are you this?  A dragon?"  If it was Ice, then... what was the explanation?  Oh, there's a husky pup that can turn into a dragon.  Yeah, that sure sounds pretty rational.  But, that was the truth, and Ally could barely make herself believe it even though it was right in front of her.  Was this Ice's true form, or was it some sort of second form that just came on in some weird way?

Whichever it was, it still creeped Ally out.  The thought that this would still be Ice at heart seemed to put her more at ease, though, as she kept her hand reached out and slowly crept off the couch and sat down on the floor half a foot away from the dragon.  It was small - not as big as she'd imagined, about as big as a housecat.  Maybe a bit bigger.  Then a question popped into her mind - what if Ice never changed back?  If that happened, Ally could never explain this to her mother and it'd be harder to keep Ice under-wraps and to take care of him overall.
