This is my third and last entry for kilala97's overcoming weaknesses contest.
This takes place right after https://www.deviantart.com/kianamai/art/Princess-Bat-495359776
Please, forgive me, I know that the heights and sizes aren't right but I tried. Originally it was going to be an AmberxDel since the previous entries were Amber couples, but you kinda already drew it when you uploaded https://www.deviantart.com/kianamai/art/Interview-515830951, so I had to come up with something else. So I went to another favorite couple of mine.
This is when Nidra first met T.
Also, " " = thoughts.

*Starburst was on her way to Sweet Apple Acres to introduce Nidra and Del, but lost Nidra after a small/rare burst of excitement (of making a new friend since she tends to shy them away) ran ahead. But now as she catches up to them Nidra is running towards her.

Starburst: Nidra! There you are. Did you get lost? I thought I just saw you with Del.

Nidra: No, I did not get lost! And some friend of yours. He wouldn't even talk to me! He just kept looking at me like I was gonna bite his head off or something! And he kept staring at my wings!

Starburst: Your wings? light bulb Oh. I'm sorry, Nidra. I forgot to warn you, Del has a small fear of bats and might need a little coaxing from me to get to know you better. That's why I didn't want you running ahead of me. Come on, I'll introduce you properly and I promise, once you get to know each other...

Nidra: No! I don't want to go back there! I won't have him staring at me like I'm some nightmare. runs off and disappears using a teleportation spell

Starburst: Nidra! Come back!

*Nidra reappears in Ponyville still running right by Carousel Boutique, when suddenly she bumps into T

Nidra/T: Oof!

Nidra: eyes closed, rubbing her head Hey, watch it!

T: I'm sorry! I didn't see you there! Are you okay?

Nidra: begins opening eyes Yeah, I'm fine. Just... sees T "What the...!" Woah, you look different.

T: begins getting nervous Yeah, heh, I get that a lot. I'm half dragon so...

Nidra: You're half dragon?! Wow!

T: You're not scared of me?

Nidra: puffs out her chest I'm half bat pony and alicorn, nothing scares me!

T: Alicorn? Then you must be Starburst's cousin. She told me you were coming to town. Sorry I bumped into you and didn't recognize you.

Nidra: We've never met before, so how could you recognize me? And besides it was my fault I bumped into you. I was just trying to get away from Sweet Apple Acres...

T: Why would you want to run from there?

Nidra: Because my cousin wanted to introduce me to her friend Del and he hates bats, so being half bat pony I knew he wouldn't like me no matter what Starburst said. So I ran.

T: I'm sorry. If it makes you feel any better, I know how you feel. Some ponies are usually afraid of me and my sister cause we're part dragon, but it's not so bad once they get to know us.

Nidra: Yeah. "It's not fair. Even if they get to know us, they shouldn't be afraid of us in the first place just cause we look different. I mean, this guy's really nice, so what if he's half dragon? That just makes him cooler. Me on the other hoof..." looks down kinda sad

T: Oh, my name's Turquoise Blitz, but I prefer T. My mom has a way with names. What's your name again?

Nidra: It's Nidra.

T: Well, it's nice to meet you, Nidra. I hope we can be good friends.

Rarity: from inside Turquoise, darling, could you come back in here a second?

T: Coming, mom. Sorry, my mom's calling me. Notices she still looks a little sad Hey, if it's any consolation I think you look pretty.

Nidra: slight blush Wha...!

T: runs back inside

Nidra: stares off into space where T just stood

Starburst: flies down There you are. Nidra, you shouldn't run away from me like that. You're still not familiar around Ponyville. Do you have any idea how long it took to find yo....? What are you looking at? Are you okay?

Nidra: snaps out of it Y-yeah I'm fine. I just met another friend of yours, apparently. T. He was very nice.

Starburst: Oh, really? That's great. Do you wanna meet more of my friends or do you wanna go back to my place?

Nidra: "T was nice, maybe her other friends won't be so bad. But..."

Starburst: Hey, since we're here and you've already met T, why don't we see his sister Claire?

Nidra: Uh, sure. "If she's half as nice as T, then this visit might not have been so bad after all."

*Although Nidra is a naturally good flier, when she was young she learned teleportation so as to make it even harder for Luna to find and catch her.
