Party time

It was Saturday afternoon and Samantha the Naga was slivering around her house like a headless chicken getting her party-ready. Her and her parents had an agreement. She got the downstairs they got the upstairs. Stairs in a naga household were more like a bumpy ramp. The bumps allowed their bodies to get traction but also helped non-naga to climb it. However, tonight anyone found Upstairs without being escorted by Samantha would automatically forfeit their life and become a live meal for her parents. All her guests knew this, and her parents hoped some wouldn’t care.

Drinks and snacks were set up in the kitchen, Pizza was in the oven so it would be hot when the guests arrived. Her mother had made a large chocolate cake that was in the fridge for later.

Just as Samantha was putting the finishing touches in place the doorbell rang. “Oh, someone’s early.” She remarked and slivered over to the door. She opened the door. “Oh, Hi.” Samantha greeted her best friends. They were Tanya, an elf; Becky, another naga and Samantha’s best friend; finally, Lilly, an acid-spitting blue scaled dragon with yellow belly scales who had used magic to shrink herself in order to socialise at the party. Most of the time Lilly was 30 feet long and still growing, for the party she was the size of a horse making her a similar size to a Taur. Lilly, being a dragon was at the same level as the other girls mentally and developmentally but was in fact 50 years old. She would not be considered a full adult until she reached 100. She was trapped as a “teenager” for another 50 years.
