We All Wish

<tabber>
Prologue=Seafoam checked the time. Perfect. As intended, she’d arrive fashionably late to the biggest party of the whole year- the GG’s Fourth of July party. She was so excited, her earring almost slipped off, but she caught it and repositioned it. Fiddling with her draped silk scarf, she pressed the power button on her phone.
“Cata?” she asked. The expensive level-9 AI glowed to life and opened a music app. She clicked on a red triangular button, and Beautiful People started playing in the car. Seafoam bobbed her head gently to the music as her rented limousine slid smoothly into the party's circular driveway. She straightened her neck, turning off the music and making sure there were people waiting for her. There wasn't any point being late to a party without people there to witness it.
Blossom, Bluemoon, and Phoenix were outside, to name a few of the two dozen dragons assembled, waiting.
Seafoam picked up her velvety purse and arranged it around her shoulders, deciding on a nice drape across her chest. She dropped Cata, Nesse, and Bluebell into the purse, just as the limousine driver opened the door. He offered his talon courteously, and she took it as he helped her step out of the darkened interior.
Blossom looked at Seafoam quizzically. “I thought you weren’t going to show up,” she said. Bluemoon nodded and Phoenix looked at Seafoam like Seafoam had slapped her.
“What? Why wouldn’t I show up?” asked Seafoam, smiling a little nervously.
“Oh, you don’t know?” asked Aegean, butting into the conversation like he always did. He looked shocked.
“Know what?” Seafoam repeated, hoping she wouldn’t have to break Aegean’s bank account just to get a straight answer.
“Your, ah, non-official girlfriend got found drowned under the cliffs in Beskor Bay,” said Bluemoon apologetically. “So, we thought you were going to go pay your respects to Peacock’s family.”
Seafoam felt her knees go weak and her world spin. She thought she might have vaguely heard, “Oh, crap, I didn’t know she would get this upset!” and “Watch out for that car!” and suddenly, she was in a hospital. A calm white machine blinked blue lights at her. On a screen in front of her, some other machine was running a diagnostic on Seafoam’s blood level. Tubes went in and out of her skin.
Seafoam passed out again.

What might have been eighty years, but also might have been eighty seconds later, Seafoam woke up to talking over her hospital bed. She kept her eyes closed and listened.
“She’s only a child! There’s no way she’s pregnant! And if she is, she definitely needs the embryo out. It’s only so far into developing, we can still get it out! Doctor! Are you listening!?”
A calm voice cut through the chaotic yelling. “Yes, I am listening, Cyan. You can’t make that decision for her. You aren’t related to her. Her mother can take a vote, but in the end, Seafoam here will make the choice.”
Seafoam’s heart started beating wildly. What? She was pregnant? And who was calling me a child? She was in college! Definitely old enough for dragonets! But- Where was this dragonet coming from? I haven’t met up with anyone lately- Wait, did I see anyone lately? No. I don’t think I did. That’s so weird.
Seafoam heard the frantic voice of her mother enter the conversation. “I don’t care what you all say. She needs to get through college first.”
“Relax, madame Angel,” said the doctor smoothly. “The egg will take about three years to hatch, given her current age. She’ll be through college, and then some.”
Angel sighed. “Whatever. Is she awake yet? I need to tell her the consequences of going to a party without telling me, and without doing her homework. She’s grounded for two weeks, no candy for-”
Seafoam sat up, rubbing her eyes. “Hello? Where am I?”
Angel swooped down and smothered Seafoam in a giant hug, making no mention of punishments.
