It seemed that this particular clutch was in no hurry to keep everyone waiting, though to be fair, the dragons themselves may well have let them rock for quite a while before inviting the Weyr to awaken. Even as the last of the candidates were making themselves comfortable on the Sands and exchanging excited glances, the first of the eggs gave a good, solid shake, and shattered at the youngster within made a very firm cry for freedom, voice high pitched but demanding. Where once the Nothing Is Impossible egg had been, a young brown dragonet slowly stood up. Eyes flashing hot colours of displeasure as the wet sand was snorted out of his nose, the dragon shook himself, stumbled sideways, and then trotted towards the boys surrounding the eggs.
As theNothing Is Impossible dragonet sniffed around the ankles of a couple of younger boys, the Creativity Takes Courage egg and the But First, Coffee egg raced for the right to claim second place. With the former securing the medal when the little green finally managed to tumble out, worming out through the top of her shell before it tumbled and she landed face first in the sand with a muffled squeal. As a young man scrambled forward to help the Creativity Takes Courage , another was called forward by a very indignant But First, Coffee as he waited with great disdain for his human to come to him.

While several youngsters made moves to go and help, rainbows flashed through both sets of eyes, and while quite a few wide-eyed viewers held their breath in sudden worry that the dragonets had Impressed to one another. Any fears or confusions were quickly put to rest as two young men made it the rest of the way and dropped to their knees by the youngsters.
While theActions Give Results and Let It Go dragonets were untangled, the Smile, Sparkle, Shine! dragonet finally managed to wriggle free from his egg. Sitting himself in the damp sand for a few moments as he squinted in the direction of the dragonets being detangled, then around at those boys and men waiting excitedly and impatiently to Impress, the young blue clearly considered his options.
