Katrien & Alain

Katrien stretched her body on the warm sand of the beach. She sighed happily and turned on her back. With closed eyes and halfway to sleep, Katrien pondered about how fast the time had gone.
One day you were on earth, getting a beautifully romantic ‘Will you marry me’, the next you’re off to another planet for the wildest life of your ride. Isori and Eraerla were wonderful, but the dragons had brought so much work with them that marrying Alain had been postponed until now. However, having dragons also had it’s pros. After all, how else would they have gotten to this wonderful island for their honeymoon? Lantessama it was called and Katrien wouldn’t mind staying here for a while longer, or at least come back when their honeymoon was over.
Dreaming lazily Katrien was completely happy, until…
"Alain!"
"What?"
"He did it again!"
"Isori!"
"But she was sleeping and she has to watch you!"
"You can save your rider better than I can…" Katrien said, dripping wet from the tailswish of water Isori had aimed at her.
"But we can’t do CPR."
"That’s a lame excuse!"
"Quit arguing." Cream Eraerla called toward them. "Now that my rider is awake, she can swim."
"I don’t like swimming…"
"How can you not like it?" the cream asked.
"It’s too wet."

Their next stop on their honeymoon through the galaxy was Nidus Otykaii, a new dragon site that was worth the visit. Not many dragonriders had visited it yet, so Alain and Katrien were among the first to see it.
"Too bad we’re only staying here for a week." Alain said when they first got off.
"You’ll get to see a lot more of it." Eraerla noted.
"How come? You know we have to be back at Cy in 7 days."
"Cy has more work than it can handle and I want to fly."
"Here?" Katrien asked.
"As good a place as any."
"Ahem, and how are you going to make sure Isori wins?"
"They accept closed flights, all agencies do. I don’t see the problem." The iridiscent pink replied, "Eraerla and me will have beautiful children wherever we fly."
"Couldn’t you postpone a bit?" Alain asked.
"Could you postpone eating when you’re hungry?" Isori asked.
"In fact, I feel like flying right now. We’ve waited long enough." Eraerla said, taking off.
"I’m following!" Isori said, very ready to catch his life mate.
"Wait!" both humans called to their dragons, but they were away and most of their restrictions faded when the dragons took over their minds. Suddenly Alain was Isori, chasing, straining to get to the one who belonged to him. While Katrien became Erlearla, rushing, flying like she had never flown before with arches, swoops, loops and corkscrews. But still enough of them remained to get out of sight, to a private place to continue their honeymoon with their dragons only starting theirs.
In the air, Isori deftly followed Erlearla, he was smaller than his life mate and a tad more agile, but she had the greater endurance. Isori’s only chance was to get her quick with all he had. Carefully he studied the cream’s movements, trying to anticipate the thoughts of the mind he loved and prayed he knew.
Erlearla looked back and saw an empty sky. She was surprised, because Isori wasn’t a quitter. Where was he now that he should be chasing her?
"I’m here!" a call came from all around her, though she couldn’t see him.
"Where?" she asked.
"Below!" Isori called when he swooped up to catch her, and … missed.
"Too slow!" Erlearla teased, "You won’t catch me now!"
Erlearla fled away fast, moving away from Isori as he had expected. Quickly Isori went between and resurfaced just in front of Erlearla. This time there was no place for her to run.
"Gotcha!" he called out, "How does that feel?"
"Hmm, strangely good for such an embarrassment."
"We’ll just tell everyone you let me win."
"And you’re ok with that?"
"As long as I get you in return." The pink winked, "I love you."
"And I you."
