*It's a beautiful day outside, it's pretty warm out tho, so this dragonfly was lucky enough to have a pair of shorts and goggles to fit his small little body to go for a nice peaceful dive, however just before they could, a cubone was sitting on a rock nearby, crying and holding their bone club in their hand, this cubone was so tiny it was almost the same size as this dragonfly*
*It's a beautiful day outside, it's pretty warm out tho, so this dragonfly was lucky enough to have
*the cubone eyes are red from how much crying they are doing, trying to wipe away some tears and look at the dragonfly* "W-what...do I look like im ok!!? No I'm not!!!" *the cubone scoots back from the dragonfly a bit*

*the cubone looks at the dragonfly, trying to calm down*
"I don't...understand why I'm always so sad!! I never ever have a smile on my face... and I'm always so lonely without anyone... I don't even know what you are either..."
*the cubone looks at the dragonfly, trying to calm down* "I don't...understand why I'm always so sa
"A dragonfly... well I suppose you can... many have tried and failed to cheer me up tho..." *the cubone sighs and scoots closer towards the dragonfly, tears still in his eyes* "Oh and...my name is cubone...in case your wondering..." *they stare at the water below them for a few moments then turn to face the dragonfly*
"A dragonfly... well I suppose you can... many have tried and failed to cheer me up tho..." *the cub
"Ever since I was brought into the world I've been like this... and that was a while ago...I woke up with no one around, and then I found this letter on why I didn't have anybody" *cubone takes out an old piece of paper and hands it to the dragonfly, which states how their biological parents were gone and erased from this world permanently by some dramatic matter*
"Ever since I was brought into the world I've been like this... and that was a while ago...I woke up
"Nope... and ever since then I've been alone all of my life... no friends, no family, and nobody to talk to... at one point I was almost considering just be nonexistent myself since I seem to have no one to cheer me up and make me smile... I always come to this spot to express my emotions, the gentle waves of the water are soothing enough to not make me cry super loudly, but that doesn't mean I'm happy, cause I'm not"
"Nope... and ever since then I've been alone all of my life... no friends, no family, and nobody to
"Yeah...I guess, thank you Mr dragonfly..." *cubone wipes tears away and just now notices the dragonfly's goggles and trunks* "What's with the stuff you got on?"
"Yeah...I guess, thank you Mr dragonfly..." *cubone wipes tears away and just now notices the dragon
"I was just about to go for a swim before I saw you! Water may not be good on my wings, since it keeps me from flying for a little while, but I always love being underwater."

"Hey, swimming always cheers me up, maybe it'll work for you too!" The dragonfly flies off the rock and descends into a fairly shallow section of water, about 2 thirds submerged. "This ought to be a good spot here."
"Hey, swimming always cheers me up, maybe it'll work for you too!" The dragonfly flies off the rock
"Now that I think about it, yeah, too much for your first time. Well, at least I didn't get my wings wet." The dragonfly jumps and flies, looking for a more shallow section of water.
"Now that I think about it, yeah, too much for your first time. Well, at least I didn't get my wings
"You're gonna be fine, you'd practically have to TRY to be able to drown in this!" The dragonfly holds out two of his hands to Cubone, wondering if them holding him will help calm them.
"You're gonna be fine, you'd practically have to TRY to be able to drown in this!" The dragonfly hol

"This is a good spot to try out going underwater for the first time, too, you'll be able to get right back up if you get scared. You probably don't want to try it, but you should at some point."

"Right, and you don't want to let go of it to swim... Maybe once you're ready to go under, you could just hold onto me instead of swimming, so you don't have to let go of that."

"Ok...I can do this, I can do this... bone club...give me some luck..." *they hug their bone club* "3......2........1!" *squeezing their eyes shut they take a giant breath of air and duck under, hoping the dragonfly will follow them*

The dragonfly had followed Cubone up after the 10 seconds were done. "Yeah, figured it might not feel good on your eyes... That partly what goggles are made to help with, but I've only got the one set... Ah, whatever, I can handle it. Here." He takes off his goggles and offers them to Cubone.

"It's fine, I'm more used to it. Took me a while to figure out somewhere I can get goggles this small, so water doesn't really hurt my eyes any more, I just have a little trouble seeing underwater."

"Oh...well if your sure about handling it then, alright" *cubone slowly takes the goggles from the dragonfly, then put them on and over their eyes* "Do I uhh...look good in these?" *its thankfully a perfect fit for the cubone*

"Okay, um... I'm not really sure how to explain it best, so just watch. Hopefully that'll be enough." The dragonfly moves away from Cubone a bit and starts swimming to demonstrate.
"Okay, um... I'm not really sure how to explain it best, so just watch. Hopefully that'll be enough.

"Alright, let's head farther in and find a good spot to go under, I'm excited to see what we'll find!" The dragonfly starts swimming into deeper water.
"Alright, let's head farther in and find a good spot to go under, I'm excited to see what we'll find
"I'm excited too!" *cubone follows the dragonfly, deep down inside him he's very nervous to go deeper into the water but tries to hide it and get more excited*
"I'm excited too!" *cubone follows the dragonfly, deep down inside him he's very nervous to go deepe
The dragonfly doesn't notice Cubone's nervousness, and soon stops. "This seems good, let's dive here. Try doing some deep breathing before you go under, it'll help you last longer." He takes deep breaths.

*cubone's eyes go wide and his face flushes pink* "A-a kiss?? Oh my... I uh... that's interesting to say the least... i mean I've never kissed a bug before so if I do need air at some point I'll be a nice little experiment" *he chuckles nervously*

The dragonfly smiles at the sight of the fish, knowing how rare its species is and not having seen one up close before. He cautiously swims up to it to get a better look, starting to get a slight blush.

Trying not to think about what the fish might think of this, the dragonfly gives Cubone a kiss, passing some of his air to them. His blush isn't just from holding his breath so long now.
