It was the smash hit several seasons in a row, and was starting to spin off in other cities. After all, there were only so many dragons that Talon City could really support. Grace and Kimball continued to scout around, though, for dragons that would be appropriate to bring on stage or have as the stars of other shows.

They certainly found a good place to look, when they were told of the Falas Shimmer Frenzy! Dozens of beautiful and colorful hatchlings tumbled from their shells, and the pair's own bond dragons almost seemed a little jealous. But the red and the cream Ryslen dragons felt almost as proud to sponsor the beautiful and dashing Laesperath. He was dark, rainbow tint under an obsidian sheen. And he knew he was lovely, too.

However, that wasn't it for the pair and their adventures here. Far from it. They decided to stick around longer and help feed and raise the Danachian while still at Falas. They'd noticed a few others doing so as well, so they took their cue as all good actors did, and stayed put.

It was well worth their time, for when the second part of the hatching occurred some weeks later, they were greeted by the happy, energetic blue Kesheth, who asked if he could perform for them. Grace laughed. "No, no, Kesheth. I think you should eat before you try to impress us with anything!" The hatchling pouted but followed them off the sands.

By the time they had all gotten fed, rested, cleaned up and re-oriented toward Talon, Grace and Kimball knew they had something even better than the endless stream of 'want to be' shows. They would have a sitcom - it was unfolding right there.

"I realize that you are young....er than myself, and lack a certain discipline," Laesperath said in his almost-British voice, "but must you continue to slobber all over the dish? It's gone, you've eaten it all."

Nah, it's good! See, there's a tiny bit left! Want some? The blue thought broadly - he was good at bespeaking to everyone within 'ear' shot.

"Oh, no, no," Laesperath said, holding his head up. "No thank you."

The blue, while indeed younger, was going to be much bigger than the rainbow-black, and clearly was of a very different set of expectations. Grace and Kimball looked at one another, back at their own dragons, and back to the pair of oblivious-and-haughty.

"Odd Couple!" They said in unison, and decided to pitch that concept the moment they could corner Engell.

**

(( 2023 update)) It turned out that Danachian black dragons grew way, way bigger than expected. While the Odd Couple show certainly continued into new seasons with both of these dragons, it also would go on with new ones as they wanted to explore and expand their horizons

It had been three seasons of So You Want to Ride a Dragon, all of them gaining in popularity and ad-space.

Who could resist, especially after the docu-drama style of filming as Z'mariaaw grew up, tended by his bond Accelerando? A spin-off of the show would soon be in the works, something to be shown on Animal Planet or some other such nature-oriented station, one which featured the growth and care of dragons in the modern world.

The Cops show benefitted from their dragons, the Dragon Riders in Love show certainly had its moments. The game show atmosphere of So You Want appealed to so many people though, it was kept on prime-time. Accelerando had even heard that there was a fire station that had dragons for its emergency crews, and in fact she saw a couple of them flying overhead while they were filming that one time.

But something was gnawing at her, in this off-season between filming. They took several weeks off every three months, giving everyone time to rest, relax and scout out new locales and dragons for the show. Well, and to scout humans too, but it was Accelerando's job to find the dragons.

She and Z'mariaaw took off to their newest destination, Treval City. There, they were greeted with a host of informative signs and directions. Zeem (as he was often called) nosed them toward the hatching area, where they were apparently just in time to get in on a new clutch.

Far from their filming crew, however, Accelerando and Zeem had to go this one alone. Z'mariaaw watched from the sidelines, because frankly his bond was freakishly good with younglings even though she was boundlessly egocentric most of the time. The zappy walked among the hatchlings, joined by several others of many species.

Finally, one particular hatchling caught her eye, and probably her mind.

"What's your name, little dear?" She cooed in her 'quiet' voice. The gold-shaded male turned to her.

"Badan, can I come with you? Are you old? What's it like to be old?"

"I'm -- I'm not old!" Accelerando blurted out, "what would give you that impression?"

"Well all those lines on your face and stuff," the gold-splotched dragonet said.

"Those aren't wrinkles," Accelerando said, "they are markings."

Around the corner, Zeem was having a terrible time stifling his dragony laughter...

It took her long enough, Serenity thought. She had gone from one place to another, but not succeeded in standing anywhere until she was brought to the Nexus world of * was hosting breedings and someone got the bright idea to bring Serenity there. She'd been so patient, too, all her sisters (she knew, she could feel it) had already paired up and were home, waiting.. For her...

She was patient, but had grown a bit in the time she'd waited. She was made to participate, and since she sang well she could always find some kind of group to hang out with. Ones who were either talented musically themselves, or who were 'groupies' of the same. Now, she had to bid them farewell on the way to the sands here at Treval.

There were several pretty eggs, all shaking, and * parents to watch over them. Serenity waited, less patient than ever. Something in her was excited, this time it would work, this time there would indeed be a hatchling for her... Wouldn't there?

"Of course there will be," said a small, but somewhat gruff voice. It was a voice that had never spoken before, yet knew words. Serenity gasped, and looked down to see a sizable golden-shaded dragonet. Gold? **With beautiful silvery white wingsails. And fur, and ... **

"Are those scales?" Serenity asked, suddenly aware that this certainly wasn't a Pernese dragon in the slightest.

"Naturally they are," said the dragon. She sat down, "and do you like my mane?"

"I certainly do," Serenity said, and then tilted her head and picked off some eggy-sandy-goo. "There, now it's perfect."

"I am Ashrisa Toerii'Taykah, and I am yours forever." The dragoness said, and Serenity's eyes swam with emotion. It had happened at last, and now she was paired with the most gorgeous dragoness ever born!

And it was entirely likely that she would find a partner among one of the many shifters, Sangers, or assorted lot of Den inhabitants, while she stayed... Her dragon, a small crystal-white male of Alskyran origin (not really a surprise there, since Raanatani spent most of her time there and likely bore Raavita while on Paniya island) wasn't very talkative, but was quite selective about talking to the right dragons or people. He'd get good 'seats' for them (he was almost too small for the big tiger-cheetah shifter to ride, actually) for any festivity meeting, and had even scored them a temporary den which was nicely dark and comfortably warm with a big fire hearth.
