Nessie Sparkles woke up early on the misty shores of Loch Ness. She stretched her shiny fins and gazed at the soft sunrise peeking through fluffy clouds. Her heart was full of excitement for another day of exploring.

While gliding through tall reeds, she spotted a strange speckled egg resting in the cool sand. It looked lost and all alone on the quiet shore.

Nessie Sparkles gently nudged the egg with her nose. “Are you okay in there?” she asked softly. She felt a tiny flutter inside and knew she had to help it.

Hugging the speckled egg close, Nessie Sparkles brought it to her favorite cove where she slept among the wildflowers. She whispered comforting words, feeling both curious and a little nervous.

Days passed, and one morning, a tiny crack appeared on the egg’s smooth shell. Suddenly, a bright green baby dragon peeked out and squeaked softly.

“Hello, little friend!” said Nessie Sparkles. The baby dragon wiggled its wings and made playful chirps. Right away, she felt warm inside, like they were meant to be together.

But life with a new sibling was not always easy. Nessie Sparkles had to share her hiding spots and her snacks. Sometimes she felt frustrated and needed a place to be alone.

One day, she hissed, “Stop following me!” The little dragon blinked, looking hurt. Nessie Sparkles took a deep breath and realized she needed help with these new feelings.
