My Way To You 242 Fangirl

'Alright just stand aside!' Mirela said cheerfully as she jumped out of Ariana's hand. She quickly made her hands glow orange and started to clap her hands with a beat. A small opening started to form in the wall of the tunnel. With a giant smile Mirela changed the rhythm of her hands. The tunnel grew and soon it was big enough for them to go through. 'Done!' Mirela announced happily as she turned her sparkling eyes to Ariana.

"Good job." Ariana said as she scratched her cheek, feeling the intensity of Mirela's stare. Mirela inched closer, widening her eyes further as they sparkled with hope. "Uhmmmm, would you like me to carry you as we walk?" Ariana asked awkwardly. Mirela quickly nodded her head with enthusiasm. Ariana sighed and brought her hand up.

"Not just Vasu huh?" Lobo asked with a raised eyebrow. "I don't know what the fascination is. Thor is the same way if Edlyn isn't around. I'm like some sort of giant pillow or plush bear to them. Honestly it's a battle between Thor and Vasu, now there's Mirela." Ariana said in a defeated tone when a thought entered her mind like lighting. "My Lumas! Are they okay?" Ariana asked desperately.

Mirela looked up as she gently rubbed Ariana's palm with her hand. 'They are all fine. Vasu and the owl got held back, some sort of secret meeting and they sent me back right away. I think when they're done they'll come look for you.' Mirela explained. The moment she finished Ariana let out a sigh of relief. She was worried about them but knew that Howlite was up for the job, there was no way he couldn't accomplish the task but she couldn't help but worry.

"Thank you Mirela." Ariana said brightly causing Mirela to blush. 'No problem. That's what friends are for.' Mirela replied as she played with a lock of loose hair. Mirela was positively bashful from the praise, she had no idea what to do but play with her hair. "Fairy, why did you want to sit on her hand? As far as I can tell most of the magical creatures are afraid of her." Lobo asked as he pointed at Ariana. Mirela tilted her head to the side and seriously thought about her reply.

'If you get past the fear the reward is quite wonderful.' Mirela said with a wide smile. "What reward?" Ariana asked as she started to walk through the new tunnel. 'It's not everyday that our kind can look at this marvelous skin.' Mirela said with a creepy giggle as she rubbed her hands over Ariana's palm. Both Lobo and Ariana felt put off, Lobo had no idea what Mirela said but the face she made and her movement tipped him off.

"What do you mean my skin? You know I'm not always like this right? Last time you rode on my shoulder." Ariana said with a small cough trying to clear up the slight awkwardness that Mirela made. 'You do realize that you are wearing a garnet armor? But I have never seen one up close. All the members of the garnet dragons have them, I even heard stories how they can manipulate the armor so that it can also act like a weapon in battle. So how can I not be excited to feel it in person?! As an earth fairy it's a great honour to be in a garnet dragon's presence but to touch their skin?! Ah!' Mirela shouted with wonder while Ariana broke out into a cold sweat. Mirela turned into a fangirl, Ariana wondered if the other fairies had felt the same way. Even if they did, their hatred for her mother out weighed the fanperson inside them.

Ariana turned to Lobo and told him what Mirela said. Lobo's face changed from normal, to green, to pale then he broke out into a cold sweat. He pursed his lips as he slightly puffed out his cheeks and kept his gaze forward. Ariana could feel his pain the whole thing was a little out there. "Mirela do you know how my armor skin works? I can use my tail in battle but I just make it spike. Also can I mak my skin cover more of my body? I don't like how exposed I am." Ariana said pitifully as she dropped her gaze to her chest.

Her dragon skin only covered her important parts like a well formed bikini and she wished she could at least make herself a full body suit.

'No, sorry. Those are secrets that the garnet dragon people would know.' Mirela said apologetically. "That's too bad." Ariana sighed. "It looks like we are here." Lobo said as they approached the tunnel's dead end. "Mirela can you open the tunnel so I can go first. I don't want you guys to come out unless it's safe." Lobo said as he looked at the fairy. Mirela nodded her head and quickly activated her hands. She started to clap quickly in a fast beat. The dead end suddenly turned into a curved opening, just big enough for Lobo to squeeze through. 

"I'll let you know when to come out so wait for me." Lobo said as he walked towards the opening. Ariana stayed silent as she dropped her gaze.
