{{ lemon - lime }}

{{ name }}
The name's Lemon-Lime! However, I usually go by the nickname "Lime," since Lemon-Lime is a bit of a handful! A few people *coughcoughBOLTcoughcough* call me Limey, but if you call me that, you probably have a death wish :)

As you can tell, this beautiful guy's name is Lemon-Lime! But you'll always be Limey to me <3
Bolt... -.-''




{{ gender }}
No offense, but... Isn't it slightly obvious? I'm a boy, of course.

Male - obviously xD



{{ size }}
I'm a regular-sized Jellybean Dragon, though a little smaller, perhaps less than the size of a cow.

As Sprite has said, he's a little smaller than the regular size of an adult JBD.



{{ why i want him }}
Well, I've been stalking the JBD threads for a long time now. I think the first time I really noticed JBDs was when Boots ordered art of JBD #136. I've done exactly 23 pieces of JBD art (and counting!), including the one up there of Lime ^.^; and I really love drawing them. But after a while, I thought, I draw JBDs so much, and yet I don't actually own one... and I wondered if I should change that. Now I've decided that I'm going to change that, and hopefully it will work out well.

For about three weeks I've been looking at all the guest artist's JBDs, trying to find one that really captured my heart. I considered trying for a few different JBDs, including a few from this batch of guest artist's designs, but this one was the only one that I really like a lot. I have so many different ideas for Lime, and I can't wait to get them all out of my head and onto this form. I love his design so much; the greens are beautiful and the bandana just ties it all together <3 If you do decide to choose me as this JBD's owner, I will love him to death B|

I will definitely make him his own character page, along with using him in the various JBD roleplays there are out there. I can't wait to roleplay with him, he's such a loveable character <3 Raimundo's new thing, the The False Target game show, looks really awesome, and I want to see who Lime would end up choosing xD




{{ favorites }}
My most favorite thing to do is be alone, outside in the wilderness, in the silent, calming atmosphere. That goes without saying; nothing can top it. It's just so peaceful, and it gives me time to organize my thoughts and just think about life in itself.

Although he says his favorite thing to do is be outside, Lime also loves eating - He'd never admit it though, would you, Limey?
No, of course I wouldn't, but why would I need to while you're here to say it for me?

Haha, you're right. But he also is very fond of his friends, and likes to hang out with them. But I'm your favorite, aren't I?
Nope. My best friend is silence. Which you're not letting me see much of right now.

You can't see silence! Teehee, I got you there!
Ah, but strictly speaking, I was talking about silence as a tangible thing - So I can see it, actually. Well, not really, but in the type of "see" that I was talking about. Discussion ended, we're rambling. Better get on with it, Bolt!

You're quite right. Let's move on, shall we? Lime is much too talkative for his own good!

Lemon-Lime's favorite drink is - yes, it is - Sprite. But he also likes Mountain Dew, 7 UP, and any other lemon-lime flavored drink. His favorite food is Honey Bunches of Oats cereal-

-Yes, it is! I eat that stuff every morning, I swear. It's my ultimate favorite cereal.

Gee, thanks for interrupting me, Lime. As I was saying, his favorite food is Honey Bunches of Oats, and his favorite movie is pretty much any superhero movie. He loves The Avengers particularly. Lime's favorite books are a series called H.I.V.E., a teen supervillain series much like Harry Potter, but in a very different point of view.
Like Bolt says, I really like action-filled literature - be it a movie or a book. The suspense and pure adventure is what draws me in to a good plot. Oh, and The Avengers is awesome! Go see it, if you haven't! A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.E.S.T. movie ever.

Come on Limey, I'm supposed to be giving away all your life's secrets ;D Keep quiet while I finish.

Some of the things that he likes to do in his free time is, like we've already mentioned, is just sit in the silent forest. However, contradicting this statement, he also loves to talk. And interrupt people... '-.- He loves talking with friends, and he also loves to laugh! He enjoys just going on a picnic and playing around with some other Jellybean Dragons, having a good time.




{{ dislikes }}
To tell the truth, I don't have very many things that could make it onto this list. Perhaps the foremost is being surprised or scared suddenly - I can't stand horror movies with things that pop out at you; I just can't watch them. But there are a few other things, too, that I'd rather have Bolt explain to you....

Well, yes, Lime is terrified of surprises. Even though he likes to scare other people, which can sometimes have bad endings-
No! Bolt, stop. I don't want to listen to that more than once, and I don't think that you want to tell it more than once. Continue... but just don't go there.

...Sorry, Limey, I know I shouldn't have started on that story, I apologize.
Surprisingly, Lime also has a special fear of being alone - yet he loves being alone. The only way that I could explain this, is that he's scared that everyone on Earth will die or something, and leave him as the only person alive. This is a major fear of his, although it wouldn't happen, and he knows it.

He's a bit of a grammar nazi it bugs him to no end when people don't use correct grammar.

You mean, "He's a bit of a grammar nazi; it bugs him to no end when people don't use correct grammar."

Yes, that's what I mean... -sigh-

Lime also hates it when people around him are sad, angry, lonely, or any other "bad" feeling. He usually tries to cheer them up in various ways.




{{ story }}
Unlike some of the other parts of this form, the story will be told by me, and only by me, but in Lime's point of view. I find that if Lime interrupts, I loose my train of thought, and he'll probably tell his story in a different way, anyways. But I'll just give you a quick introduction to the setting before I start. This story takes place in one of his favorite places, a large forest in the middle of nowhere with a few small clearings that are perfect for a picnic. It's a short hike, but easy for a JBD to get to. Also, the event that happens in the end is very, very tragic, and it did have a huge affect on Lime afterwards... Read at your own risk.

Lemon-Lime headed down the familiar, worn-out trail that led to one of his favorite places. This place was a little clearing, down in the middle of a prodigious forest; it was the perfect place for any friendly get-together. Today, he had invited his three best friends, Ananiem, Whistle, and Brea to hang out with him. As he skipped down the beaten path, he thought happily to himself, it can’t get much better than this, now, can it? The birds were chirping, and some frogs were croaking, creating the wonderful atmosphere that he was so used to. It confused him slightly that he could be so loud and rambunctious sometimes, yet the serene forest was his favorite place to be. The contradictions were, frankly, ridiculous. The Jellybean Dragon paused and re-adjusted his bandana, tightening it to make sure that it didn’t fall off as he walked.

In his belly-pouch, he held a small bag of various meals and snacks, including some of his favorites – Sprite, of course, but also some chocolate-chip cookies, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and other tasty little morsels. These food items were in preparation for the picnic that he was going to have today, in the clearing in the middle of the woods.

Once he’d reached the perfect spot, he stopped, untied his bandana and hung it on a nearby branch, and started setting up lunch. He spread out a light blue picnic blanket, and put some rocks on the corners to make sure it didn’t blow away. Lime straightened up after he’d finished, and looked down the path again. None of his friends seemed to be anywhere nearby yet, so he sighed, lay down on the soft grass, and fell asleep.

-------

Although it had been almost fifteen minutes, Lemon-Lime woke up a while later feeling like he’d been asleep for less than one. Again, he glanced down the path, but no one seemed to be coming. The male dragon heaved another sigh, slightly disappointed in his friends. He was always prompt, yet they always seemed to think the point was to arrive a half hour after the appointed time. Lime sat down on the baby-blue blanket, flicking his tail every once in a while. Suddenly, a sharp crack sounded behind him. He whirled around; his chocolate brown eyes open wide with terror. “Who’s there?” he demanded, his hackles rising in alarm. When nothing responded to his words, he crept a little closer, his heart still pounding. He had a special fear of things jumping out at him, and he was not about to let one of his friends scare him. Lime poked his nose into the bushes, sniffing around. Finally, he decided that it had just been a rabbit or a bird; something smaller than a JBD. He turned back to the picnic blanket, his eyes staring down at the ground in boredom. When will they get here? he thought, just a little angry at them for taking so long. He sat again, back to the bushes where he’d heard the crack, and continued watching the path.

Not five seconds later, he heard another noise – then shrieked in terror when a lavender shape burst out of the bushes and nearly ran into him. He scrambled backwards in a rushed panic; ears flat against his head, eyes wide, heart thumping. It took a few seconds for him to recognize the purple monster… But then he saw who it was. “Ananiem!” he cried, unsteadily rising to his paws. “What in the world was that for? You could’ve scared me to death, jumping out at me like that…!”

The other Jellybean Dragon, meanwhile, was laughing hysterically, pounding the grass with her paw and flailing about on the ground. “L-Lime! You totally fell for that, didn’t you?! Ahahaha, I can’t believe you fell for that!”

“Oh, be quiet,” he shushed her, beginning to grin a little, too. “I knew you were there the whole time.” He puffed out his chest a little and glared down at her. “I was just playing along,” he continued, still a little shaky.

Ananiem rolled her eyes. “Sure, sure, just playing along. Whatever, Limey…,” she grinned mischievously at him. “I’ll be sure and tell everyone else how to scare you to death.”

Now it was Sprite’s turn to roll his eyes – and he did so overenthusiastically, snorting a little. Humph. "Don't call me that, Ananiem... Do you know if Whistle and Brea are on their way?” he asked, changing the subject. “They should be here by now.”

As if on cue, the deep sound of Whistle’s voice came into range, heading slowly but surely towards them. Much quieter, and barely able to discern from the other natural sounds, was Brea’s high voice. It seemed that the two had decided to come together – Which wasn’t unusual, considering they’d known each other pretty much from the day they’d hatched.

Lemon-Lime looked at Ananiem excitedly, a sudden idea bursting across his face. “Ananiem, Ananiem! I’ve just had an idea – We should jump out and scare Brea and Whistle, just like you did to me! It’ll be so much fun!” He shook out his fur, and then started looking around for a suitable hiding place.

“Oh, so you hate being scared yourself, but you don’t mind scaring others half to death?”

“Nope! It’s quite fun, actually!”

Ananiem sighed with pretend disappointment, but shrugged and disappeared into her previous hiding spot. Whistle’s voice was getting louder; Lime didn’t have much time to find a good hiding place, but he quickly jumped up into the branches of a sturdy maple tree. It was in full bloom, as most trees were in the middle of summer, and provided a great veil.

As Whistle’s voice grew even clearer, it became obvious that the two Jellybean Dragons were having an argument. Since he was only able to discern Whistle’s voice, he assumed that they were arguing over something that Brea did to embarrass Whistle. Whistle was saying, “And in front of my parents, too! My parents! Do you know what my father’s like, Brea? He doesn’t forgive anyone for stuff like that, and especially not his youngest, most hated son! Why couldn’t you have just stayed quiet, like you usually are?” Brea replied, in a soft, tear-laced voice that made Sprite want to go and comfort her, but he couldn’t really hear what she was saying – and he didn’t want to give up his presence. Lime glanced down at Ananiem, trying to meet her gaze; he wondered if they shouldn’t do this after all.

But then it was too late. Whistle and Brea came into view, Brea walking a little bit behind Whistle with her head hung and her tail dragging. Whistle’s eyes were defiant, but they looked dull and unfeeling. His ears were flat. As Lime watched them come to a stop in front of the blanket, he decided to go ahead with his little trick. Perhaps it would be funny enough to make this picnic… Cheerier.
He finally got Ananeim’s attention, nodding and smiling encouragingly at her. Her countenance showed her reluctance to do this, but Lime’s expression left her with no doubt – Maybe it could make things less awkward, if they were all laughing.

Lemon-Lime readied himself, bundling his muscles and focusing all his attention on Whistle. With a final nod to Ananiem, he jumped out of the tree with an ecstatic shout. “Look out beloooowwww!” he cried, almost landing on top of Whistle. Meanwhile, Brea had rushed backwards into a tree, with Ananiem laughing beside her. Lime started cracking up, too: his bandana had fallen off and landed on Whistle’s face, blinding the poor guy. Brea, still pushed up against the tree with her eyes wide, slowly smiled and began giggling. They all sat like that for a moment, their eyes filled with laughter, and, in two cases, fading shock.

It took a few minutes, but eventually Whistle stood up. He had not said a single word since he arrived at the little picnicking area, nor had he laughed along with them or even screamed in fright when Lime had dropped down on him. His condescending air thickened as he stared at Lime, a glare spreading across his face. “Seriously. You would seriously do this to me while I am in this sort of mood? You couldn’t have missed me and Brea talking as we came down the path. Yet you still decided to scare us out of our wits?” He snorted; if looks could kill, Lime would be half-dead already. “I thought better of you two, or at least of Ananiem.”

It was true that Whistle had always thought of Lemon-Lime as “second-best” under all the others, but he had never said anything to confirm this thought out loud – and especially directly in Lime's face. Lime stared in shock at the Jellybean Dragon, guilt and sorrow wiping away his grin. “Whistle… I- I just wanted to cheer you up… You know I hate it when you argue with other people…,” he whispered softly, slowly getting to his paws.

Whistle huffed in disbelief, his eyes widening with anger. “I should have never agreed to come to this stupid little picnic,” he spat, whipping his tail to either side, not unlike a cat about to pounce on its unsuspecting prey. He shot one more murderous look at Lime and Ananiem, his gaze drifting over Brea as if she wasn’t there, then he turned and stalked away down the path, opposite the way he’d come, deeper into the woods.

Brea, the first of them to recover from Whistle’s unexpected outburst, rushed to her paws and called to Whistle pleadingly. “Stop, Whistle, stop! I- I didn’t mean to upset you earlier, you know I didn’t; please come back…!”

Ananiem padded over to Brea and nudged her. “C’mon… We have to go find him before he gets lost.” She turned to Lemon-Lime with a look of concern. “Lime. D-don’t listen to him, Lime; he’s just in a bad mood. I- we know that you were just trying to help out.” She glanced at Brea, who nodded silently. Then they were gone, off into the shadowy woods, following Whistle’s trail.

Sprite sat, unmoving, his heart contracted with feelings that he had no words for. He was wretched with guilt; he should’ve known better than to do such a dumb thing to Whistle. He should’ve known better…

With a quick movement, Lime got to his paws and shook out his ruffled fur. His eyes hardened with determination. I’ll just go and apologize, he thought, brightening at the idea. What else can I possibly do?

Lemon-Lime’s paws pounded on the ground as he raced after Brea, Ananiem, and Whistle; his tongue was lolling and he was panting heavily: he wasn’t the most fit Jellybean Dragon, although he was a good short-distance sprinter. He had no idea how far away the other three had gotten, so he tried to pace himself, but he was much too eager to apologize to Whistle.

In the back of his mind, a little reminder popped up – nearby was the Drop, a steep cliff that couldn’t have been less than a thousand feet tall; in Lime’s reckoning, anyways. This little reminder told him to stay well away from the Drop – But did his friends know it was there? He was pretty sure that he was the only one who’d been to this part of the forest before…. He gasped suddenly, increasing his speed. They can’t have fallen over, they can’t have… Whistle’s much too smart to run straight over the Drop….

Lemon-Lime screeched to a halt at the end of the path – This was as close as he wanted to be to the Drop; several yards. He looked around fretfully, lashing his tail. “Whistle? Ananiem? Brea?” he called out, raising his voice as much as he could. His heart pounded with fear; he did not want to look over the Drop to find three bro- No. Even if one of them did fall, the others would’ve seen and stopped.

“Lime!”

With blinding gratitude, turned around. Ananiem and Brea were sitting a little ways away; Whistle wasn’t in sight. “Ananiem! Brea!” he cried out with happiness, bounding towards them. But before he got there, he could tell something was dreadfully wrong. Brea was leaning heavily against Ananiem, her front paw twisted at an unnatural angle that must’ve hurt something terrible. Both dragons had teary expressions, their countenance giving away what had happened. “Whi-“ Lime broke off. “Whistle… He…” he left the words hanging in the air, the tense silence answering his question.

Brea looked down; a single tear dripped down her face. “Yes.”

“I…”

“We started chasing after him… So, naturally, he ran faster. He was just going over the edge when we caught up to him. I tripped and almost fell too, but Ananiem was quick enough to pull me back.” Her voice was dull, unemotional, yet he could tell they were laced with grief. Whistle and Brea had known each other since their earliest years; loosing friends after that long, even if they had been a little annoying, was heartbreaking. Even Ananiem, who’d only known Whistle and Brea for a month or so, was sobbing softly.

So why didn’t he cry? He certainly felt like crying. Yet no tears came; his eyes remained dry.

Why didn’t he cry? He felt like crying uncontrollably, he felt like burying his face into his mother’s fur and just sobbing, sobbing until the pain went away.

Why didn’t he cry? It was all his fault. It was his idea to scare Whistle. His fault.

Why didn’t he cry? He had no right not to. Brea and Ananiem would think that he wasn’t sorry at all, perhaps even glad to see Whistle go. But he wasn’t glad, not in the least.

Why didn’t he cry?

Finally, the pain of not being able to cry, yet not being able to hold in his grief overtook him, and he ran off into the forest, leaving Brea and Ananiem together. He ran and ran, forgetting his earlier exhaustion; forgetting that he was even real.

He would not be coming back here. Not for a long, long time.


I... I wish that the story you just read did not need to be told. But, it is by far the most important thing that has happened - at least so far - in my life, and it needed to be told - needed to be read. And... I'm not happy about what happened to Whistle. He did die - No doubt about it. I... I did not see his body, but I took Brea and Ananiem's word for it. There is no way that he could've survived that fall. My inaction still haunts me. I keep going over it, again and again, in my head... Trying to figure out what I could've done to prevent this... And I know that I could've stopped him before he got anywhere near the cliff, and yet I didn't. I didn't. But, I try as hard as I can not to let his death effect me too much. My motto is, "Don't dwell on the past, focus on the future". I like having fun, I like laughing, and if I let this event take me over, I wouldn't be able to do either of those things. So I try to push it to the back of my mind; I try to forget about it, as hard as it is. But I will never forget about it. I can just try my best to ignore my feelings of sadness whenever I do remember.




{{ personality }}
I'm not going to do a personality, because I feel that his overall demeanor is covered in both the story and in his quotes. If I have time, then I will do a short personality.

{{ notes / other }}
The only JBD in the story that is actually a real JBD is Ivara's Ananiem, and yes, I did get permission to use her in my story and as Limey's friend ^.^; Brea and Whistle are "imaginary" friends, if you must call them something.

The reason I decided to have Lime speaking throughout this form is in hopes of portraying his personality without actually describing it c: I know that you want me to focus on the story, but I'm trying to make it obvious what Lemon-Lime is like, so that you kinda get to know him before you actually read the story part of the form.

EDIT; Finally finished the story, and I hope that it isn't too... Gruesome. It seems to happen very fast as of right now, but I'm planning on going through and editing it a ton.
EDIT2; I've completely erased the story, and started over, because I think that I didn't portray the feelings as well as it should've. Hopefull this one will make more sense... Also, I've added his dislikes and decided that I'm not going to do his personality unless I have enough time, since I think that I've shown his personality fairly well in his story and quotes.
EDIT3; Since someone got all mad at me for naming him Sprite, I've gone through and changed his name to Lemon-Lime, aka Lime, Limey. If anyone find a mistake in there where I've accidentally called him Sprite, please let me know via PM and I'll take care of it <3
EDIT4; Finished the new story ^.^; I think I'm pretty much finished... 8'D

EDIT5; Thank you ;-; Thank you so much <3

☀ C H A I ☀
{{ CH - I }}

Image
'Chai' was one of the many names on my big list of names for this beauty. And trust me, there were a lot of names on that list c: But Chai didn't only come from that list. You see, I have this super secret list of three names, my future fursona's name, and two names that I would save for characters that I couldn't live without. And Chai came from that list too, as a very cool character. Also, this JBD with the name Chai already has a personality and a million lovely traits coming together in one piece. When I saw her, I was like "owo". I thought of calmness, compassion, and caring. So her name HAD to start with a "C" right? So I thought and thought and was like "oh my. CHAI!" the name instantly clicked and I loved it. So peaceful and calm, and fun at the same time. Just like Chai Tea.

☀ Gender ☀
Chai would handle this situation with much calmness and stuff, but she finds it decently obvious she is a female, and proud of it c: I choose female because of her beauty. I can just imagine all the boys like "oh. Wow. Look at that babe!" Also because I think the bright colors are just enough to give off more of a feminine taste, the bright greens and design over all reminds me little of males, but me. And I'm female c:

☀ Age And Size ☀
Chai is a young adult JBD. She still has fun left in her, but she is also mature enough to understand the serious in life. She is about the size of a cow, but is pretty delicate and doesn't act like one. I chose these for her because.... Well, because they are my favorite ages and sizes c:

☀ Nicknames ☀
Everyone has one, right? Chai, as much as she loves her name, loves to also be called 'Chi'. She likes it because it sounds like the name of a bird, and once you get to know Chai you'll know that she really loves to be around, listen to, and even whistle with the birds. They are so relaxing to her.

Image

☀ Personality ☀
☀ Calm ☀
Chai is not the kind of Jellybean Dragon that is like "OH MY GAWD!!!!" She finds that stuff irritating and sometimes even gets headaches from it. She likes to be in a calm environment where there is no loud screaming or loud noises what so ever. She is also very calm herself, never screaming and never really drops anything, unless she is not paying attention or is scared.

☀ Shy, But Not Shy ☀
Chai can sometimes be very shy around people or other jellybean dragons she doesn't know. Although she has this trait, she is also very outgoing and fun when she is with her friends, because she knows she doesn't have to change herself to be around them. When she gets to know somebody, she gets less and less shy with them.
☀ Outgoing ☀
Although she can be very shy towards people and other JBDs, she loves to try new things. She likes the thrill but nervousness she feels before doing something daring, and a lot of people admire her for that trait. She knows that, well, you only live once and she wants to make sure she gets the best of what life has to offer.
☀ Artistic ☀
Yup, Chai is very artistically minded and loves to do art. She is very creative and will do almost anything to get her hands on a notepad when she needs to write good ideas of things to draw. She never ever has a bad sense of style and loves to draw new things. She is a master at paw - painting and loves to feel the cold, wet paint on her paws c:
☀ Funny ☀
Chai just has that little touch to her personality that makes her funny. She loves to make people laugh and usually laughs with them, and then for some reason they laugh even harder. She loves to not get attention from just being popular, in fact she doesn't really like getting a whole bunch of attention anyways xD She loves laughing and never forgets what she's laughed about before, so sometimes you'll just notice her giggling from a funny memory... c:
☀ Traveler ☀
Chai loves to explore new places and gain new knowledge. This may go with her 'Outgoing' trait, but I thought it was something important enough to her to be a different part c: She likes to gain new knowledge and, well, just know she has the freedom to explore and see whatever she wants! She has strong paws and sometimes walsks for hours without stopping. She likes that she also sometimes meets up with other jellybean dragons, and she always likes to meet new people.
☀ Open ☀
Chai loves to explore new options in life. She likes to make new friends and never makes the mistake of judging a JBD or person before she gets to meet them. Although she doesn't like to be all talky - talky with JBDs she hasn't met yet, she doesn't think that making snap judgements will help. She is always ready to try new things and meet new people.
☀ Caring ☀
Chai doesn't care if your problem or concern is about cheese, she's always tere to support you an make sure your ok. She is the kinda friend that everyone trusts and believes in, and the kind of JD that is always there for anybody; friends or foes. She loves to help out and is probably he most trust worthy JBD you'll ever know.
☀ Tolerant ☀
Chai is known to be one of the most tolerant Jellybean Dragons alive. She can listen to people babbling on and on about LEAVES; actually LISTENING! She never tells anybody to stop talking because she knows that either they really like to talk or need to blow off some steam. She likes listening to interesting stories, but she also has that talent when she can listen anybody talk about anything.
☀ Honest ☀
Chai doesn't get the point of lying, after all, when somebody finds out your in trouble anyways! Honest to her doesn't mean go off and tell everybody{{including strangers}} who you like and all your other secrets. It means to answer a question honestly, and just never do anything you know is wrong. Always give your honest opinion on everything, but always put it in a nice way. That way people will never call her horrible things that mean and a liar.
☀ Active ☀
Chai loves to run in the sun! Or rain, snow or hail. She has almost endless energy and loves to get out in the great outdoors. Because of her traveling, she is outside a lot, which makes her happy because she likes to breath in the fresh, cool morning air and close her eyes and walk through the forest, the sun shining through the treetop leaves. She also likes to race her friends, because it's fun for her to have the breeze blow on her fur.

☀ History ☀

"Sometimes when friends seem the most free - spirited, they're really the ones who have been trying to reach a goal all along."


Chai's mouth watered and hung open as she watched Everyone around her eating ice cream and elephant ears. "Lucky Humans" she thought. She wasn't the envious type, she just had been hiding in the ancient towns ally for weeks. She knew that they were trying to capture fine jellybean dragons to auction off at the fair. Which just so happened to be today. She could sneak out and steal somebody's food, but she didn't because she felt that wasnt right, and overall wasn't The kind to steal. But she was starving. She hadn't eaten real, fresh food in a long time, and she was getting quite tired of eating old garbage. But it wasn't only her fear of being caught that kept her hiding. It was the fear of losing everything. She was a very adventurous JBD: always wanting to make more memories and explore new cultures. Being caught would take that all away from her, not only resulting in unhappiness(which she barley ever has) but also a strong case of heartbreak. She knew she was nothing unique without her travels. She suddenly heard humans coming towards the dark, almost Sinister to Chai, unavoidable scary corner of the ally. As the voices drew more and more near, Chai ran up the ally apartment's fire ladders. She tried her best to his herself, disguising in the old debree and trash. She reminded herself of what she might lose if she doesn't hide herself well enough. But, she began to cry at the fought of losing everything. And her tears landed In a very "convenient" spot. Right on the man's nose. The short, stubby, and in Chai's opinion quite ugly man looked up at chai with a very sinister look on his face. She grew all tingly inside. The man snorted something that Chai estimated was "I got you now, haha". She was ready for an adventure. Naturally, she was calm. She took a deep breath. The chase was on. She curiously looked around for places to run, and finally came to the conclusion that the only option was to adventure into the busy streets of New York City. She knew this gave her more opportunities to be caught, but she was speedy and ready for anything. She leaped From the ladder top and delicately landed in the street below. The man swung at her tail and lost balance. Chai watched him spin for a while before he fell{{face first}} Into the giant garbage cans below. She laughed a little at the sight, but returned to her running away part first.  She momentarily walked slowly. She wanted to see what we out in the streets but didn't know whether it was safe or not. She was adventurous though, and was tray for another adventure. She took busy, forward steps onto the crowded streets. Immediately, she realized how much she had missed from that stupid ally. There were shops lining each and every inch of the street, filled with everything. She looked all around her, spinning in circles to make sure she saw everything. But on one of the spins her vision went black, and her last sounds she heard were the cruel laughs of the man that fell into the dumpster. 

She later awoke in a large cage. She was being transferred to the auction, but she didn't want to be there. She would rather be in the ally then there. But she was weak, still recovering from her unwanted nap. The sun shone through the thick clouds and just blasted right into Chai's cage. She closed her eyes to avoid being blinded. Suddenly, the cart hit a stop and Chai stumbled forward. The man who'd caught Chai got out of the cart and put a large, dusty blanket over Chai's cage. Now Chai wished she could see the sun. She was carried into a room, where she heard large metal doors close behind her. She felt like she was in a jail cell, knowing that there's nothing to look forward to. She realized that there were several other jellybean dragons in the room, all locked up just like she was. On the door it wrote 'Tony'. Chai knew that this was the mans name. She looked around at all The other JBDS. They all looked sad and alone. So Chai began to talk. "So, how y'all doing?" she said softly. The other Jellybean Dragons turned heads towards Chai. They were quite confused that she had such an anticipation to be locked in a cage. One JBD rumbled back "Pretty badly, if it's not obvious." That started making Chai and the JBD argue. Finally she got his name. His name was Rasin{{Owned by -Kiley-}}. The other JBD's joined in for the conversation, but not long after that Tony came into the room. He let them all out of their cages, and all but Chai. She was left alone. Suddenly, little girls and boys and adults that Chai could tell were wealthy ran up to her cage. The little children shouted "ohs" and "ahs", and Chai knew this was the auction. Tony looked at Chai, and for a breif second she shouted 'Help' to him. She was a rather timid JBD in big crowds. And although you may have thought(and so did Chai) that Tony was a bitter soul, he helped Chai. He scooped her up, because at the time she was only the size of a labrador) and took her into the auction arena. Everyone was told to be quiet in there so maybe Chai would act normal. But Chai wasn't stupid, and sadly, that's what got her the most bids.

Chai went to a farmer's family, who'd paid all his money on her. It was for his sick daughter's birthday, he wanted Chai to bring some life into her. Chai was not very happy with this. It meant staying home all day everyday, and tending to a sick person. Chai knew she was doing a good thing, but she knew her travels would be over. As they arrived at the Farmer's house, Chai realized that they were quite poor, and their land area was HUGE. She looked around in amazement and excitidness. "This might not be as bad as I thought", she mumbled. Farmer walked her into the house and into the daughter's room. "Happy Birthday, Sweetheart." he said softly. The young child looked up at her Farmer father and smiled. She then saw Chai. "Boots, meet Chai" Boots sat up and hugged Chai. She was surprised by the girl's action, and so was the father. Farmer guy winked at Chai. He seemed to say "It's working".

And as Boots got to know Chai better, she got more and more healthy. One day, Chai got sick of the house. She helped Boots climb upon her back, and they walked across the large stretch of land that Boot's had. It was so nice to Chai to be out in the forest again, and with Boots too! They had grown to be quite the friends since Chai came in her life. Boots hugged Chai and looked around curiously. Her father never took her out in the daytime, only to sit right by the door and watch the stars. She knew that when she was little she would always wander around outside with her father. Memories began to come back. She stroked Chai's soft fur. She took off her bandanna and wrapped it around Chai's neck. "Be back soon Chai. You can travel all you want. You made me better, you mended my broken heart. Now I'll mend yours." Chai was a little startled by her confession, but understood. She walked Boots home and then left, after a long memorable hug.

"I'll see you soon"

☀ Why I Need Want Chai ☀
Well, ever since I first laid eyes on her I guess. You see, when I choose characters, I look at Them for literally 5 minutes straight, and that helps me decide. If my mind goes racing into different histories/stories, likes and dislikes, then it must be mine. If not, it's a pass. For Chai, I honestly didn't know how it happened, but she clicked with me with only 30 seconds of staring. I never knew I was capable of deciding a character or not that quickly, I was like "o3o". So, I am a competitor in her competition. Many other entries have worried me, especially bolts, but I will not give up. She would be very taken care of, I hope you know that she will not be mistreated. She will always be loved, by me and my other characters. She would be a top priority character, no matter what she'd be CS Famous. She is lovely, and loveliness is treated with loveliness. ❤

I also prefer brighter, accessoried JBD's. I find them more stunning and appealing to the human eye. You see, in my science spiral I have drawn many jbds.  I have also drawn some on oekaki, but thy never turn out good. My obsession for the species began when I decided to try for JBD #136. I worked hard on that form, but I'm allowed to say I'm much more proud of this one ;D Good luck to all, Good luck to Chomp as well.
