Cheney rolled over, still fast asleep.

"Gaahhhhh!!! Synder, what are you doing!?!?!?" Cheney yelled, suddenly wide awake.
...I thought you were standing for the clutch, Cheney. His flit looked at him with curious eyes.
"Yeah, I am...Why?" Cheney sighed, exasperated.
Well, I just thought you'd want to be there when the clutch hatched.
"Of course I want to be there, Synder. That's the whole poi-" His head immediatley shot up. "Synder, is the clutch hatching now?" The red and black fire llizard nodded.
Cheney burst out of the room, running to the hatching sands.

Fortunately, he managed to get there before the eggs actually hatched. He watched the eggs, fervently hoping one of them was meant for him. Suddenly, time seamed to stand still, and the first egg cracked.
A sturdy, albeit small, brown toppled out of the eggs, searching for his lifemate. Cheney watched as the little hatchling looked straight at him, but them passed, choosing Nabil.
Two greens came next, followed by another brown, which bonded a girl.
Then a large egg cracked, and a small bronze fell out. Cheney rushed over, hardly daring to hope...He held his breath as the bronze looked at the gathering male candidates, confused. Then Laval stooped down by the bronze, and whispered, "Here I am, Sysith"
Disappointed, Cheney turned away, and met a blue hatchling. Cheney? I'm Reeth. Do you want me?
Ch'ney kneeled down, gathering the blue in his arms. "Of course I do!"
He heard a crack, and looked over to see the gold hatchling at Firesong's feet. "Looks like we missed the queen hatch, Reeth." He said to his blue.
Reeth snorted. Who cares! I'm hungry, let's eat!
Ch'ney left and followed Reeth out of the Hatching Sands.
