Wyand laughed as Iguazath rolled and tumbled with one of her blue-white brothers.  The green had ended up like her- wild, crazy, and a tomboy.

Like rider like dragon, One of the gold-whites commented loudly enough for every rider and dragon nearby to hear.  She'll always be like that, I suppose.

Wyand felt her fist curl into a ball.  Who did that gold-white think that she was, anyway?  After all, she was a freak of nature, too.  Maybe not in her personality, but in her color at the very least...  The whole clutch could be considered freaks.  Wyand simply considered them "unique," which was the absoloute truth.  She doubted that a clutch like this would ever occour again.

Why do they not like me? Iguazath asked almost sadly, swimming in from the Weyrlake where she and the blue-white had been playing.  The green's favorite place was the Weyrlake, and Wyand was pretty sure that Iguazath acted more like a dolphin than most dragons.

"Oh, Iguazath, they love you," Wyand whispered, wrapping her arms around her green neck.  "They just can't respect the fact that you're stronger than most of the other greens, and bigger too."  She blocked the thought that she and Iguazath were alot alike in their actions.  They acted first, thought later, and didnt' care about getting dirty.  Both were tall and skinny, and Iguazath's tail was too big for her body.  "Trust me."

The green-white cocked her head at her rider. 
They don't really love me, do they?  The green-white dragonet was becoming very perceptive and could pick out things that Wyand tried desperately to block from her dragon.

Wyand sniffled slightly.  "No, Iguazath, they don't really like you or me."

Why?

"Because...  Everyone that Impressed was differant.  I'm not differant, I'm just more of a freak than anything else."  She wrapped her arms around Iguazath's neck yet again.  "But we make a pretty good pair, don't we?"

Iguazath trumpeted, causing the same gold-white to look at her strangely. 
Wyand, we're the greatest pair.  The best pair of freaks on all of Pern!
