Sybil & Friends Song Idea - What Makes You Happy

'What Makes You Happy' is a song set to the tune of Lala Njava's cover of 'Sweet Lullaby' and features in 'Sybil & Friends' when I start working on Me, You, And Transformers Cybertron on the 4th of March. When I start to plan, Furaha watches the Transformers Cybertron DVD and remarks; "You've got an Acoustic Africa CD in your pouch, Sybil. I'm so happy, I want to burst into song." "And I'm so happy I don't have to include Bud, Coby and Lori in my story either!" I laugh.

This leads into a fantasy/song sequence animated by GONZO in Japan and Red Kite Animation, mixing animation and Japanese anime backgrounds with traditionally animated characters. This type of hybrid animation would be included when I tell Me, You, And Transformers Cybertron as I begin to work on my story. The sequence is quite a soothing and restful one, with Furaha approaching Jetfire as he is taking a shower in the Autobot base's shower room. As Furaha intently gazes into Jetfire's visor, she joins him under the shower, hugging his leg, and then yawns, growing extremely tired. Gently, the second-in-command takes the sleepy cub in his arms and cradles her under the shower water. During the instrumental, we see the other Autobots and their cub friends spending time in the shower the same way - Hot Shot tickles, noogies and hugs Nakona, gently splashing him with water, Scattershot cuddles Upendi in a soothing manner, and Leobreaker (in beast mode although Overhaul appears when I tell Me, You, And Transformers Cybertron) is washed by Haraka. Even Snarl and Override are in the shower, with Override hugging a sleepy Lanka.

We then fade back to Jetfire, who is drying himself with a giant, fluffy towel. He still has Furaha in his arms, and gently wraps her in the softness of his towel. Later on, we see all the Autobots and their cub friends snuggling into bed, the final image being Jetfire and Furaha in bed together, Furaha snuggled by Jetfire's side, revealing the softest, most comforting friendship that'll ever be read about.

Me, You, And...Little Friends: Dragon Tunes

Remember those Dragon Tunes from the original Dragon Tales? What if they were brought back for a new generation? I've thought up Little Friends' first poem book, Dragon Tunes, which invites you to explore more of Dragon Land, including those not seen in the show.
I've yet to adapt Adventures In Dragon Land, Yes We Can, We Can Work It Out and It's Cool To Be Me into Little Friends stories, because the DVDs are sold on other market websites. The stories are fun as always too: in 'Zak Takes A Dive' Jetfire finds a bigger pool for him, Giganto and Humongo to play in near where the dragons are swimming in, while in 'A Tall Tale', Minty brings Rarity the unicorn to Dragon Land because, well, a unicorn features in the episode, and in 'The Greatest Show In Dragon Land', Minty desperately wants to go on an adventure, so she goes to Dragon Land to get her chance and head off to Wonderworld.
