2 Chapter 2

2 Willa took a deep breath to calm her excitement. She knew that the pool turning into a glittering lake wasn't the only thing that had changed.

薇拉深吸了一口气，以平息她的兴奋。 她知道，池塘变成闪闪发光的湖泊并不是唯一的变化。

She raised the hand that was holding the shell up above the water. Her normal girl hand was gone. Instead, she saw a silver paw. As she watched, the shell began to shimmer and fade away. Willa wasn't worried. She knew that it would reappear when she needed it. Excitedly, Willa looked down at her reflection in the smooth surface of the lake. Gone was her usual light brown hair and the spray of freckles across her nose. She had become a majestic silver dragon with sparkling gray-green eyes! Willa laughed, and a puff of glittery smoke rose into the air. She was a Dragon Girl, and not just any Dragon Girl. She was a Glitter Dragon Girl! Willa had changed into dragon form before, but it felt just as thrilling every time.

她把拿着贝壳的手举到水面上。 她那只正常女孩的手不见了。 相反，她看到了一只银色的爪子。 就在她注视着的时候，贝壳开始闪烁，渐渐消失。 威拉并不担心。她知道，当她需要它的时候，它会再次出现。 威拉兴奋地低头看着自己在光滑湖面上的倒影。 她平时淡棕色的头发不见了，鼻子上的雀斑也不见了。 她变成了一条威严的银龙，有着闪闪发光的灰绿色眼睛!威拉笑了，一股闪光的烟雾升入空中。 她是龙女，而且不是一般的龙女。 她是闪亮龙女郎!威拉以前也变成过龙，但每次都一样令人兴奋。

As Willa admired her dragon-y self and gave a little roar to clear her throat, she heard a tinkling splash of water behind her. She turned just in time to see a very strange sight: The silver dolphin she'd seen in the water had leapt into the air.

就在威拉欣赏自己的龙形形象并发出一声小吼以清清喉咙时，她听到身后传来水花的叮当声。 她转过身来，正好看到了一个非常奇怪的景象:她在水里看到的那只银海豚跳到了空中。

Now, Willa loved watching nature shows with her dad, so she often saw dolphins jumping high into the air. But she also knew that dolphins then dove back into the water. But this dolphin wasn't doing that. Instead, it was doing loops in the air, over and over, like an acrobat training for the circus. "Amazing! How can you do that?" exclaimed Willa. She was NOT expecting the creature to answer her, but it did all the same. "I go where you go," the dolphin said in a funny, squeaky voice. "Underwater. In the air. Whenever you need me, I'll be there." Willa knew that dolphins were smart and playful. But this was on a whole new level! Willa gave a great underwater flap of her wings and rose up out of the water and into the sky. She'd never done that before and it felt wonderful! Glittery drops of water rained down from her long

现在，威拉喜欢和爸爸一起看自然节目，所以她经常看到海豚跳到空中。 但她也知道海豚随后会跳入水中。 但这只海豚没有这样做。 相反，它在空中盘旋，一遍又一遍，就像杂技演员在为马戏团训练一样。 “神奇!你怎么能这样?”威拉惊叫道。 她并没有指望那东西会回答她，但它还是回答了。 “你去哪里我就去哪里，”海豚用一种有趣的、吱吱的声音说。 “水下。在空中。无论何时你需要我，我都会出现。” 威拉知道海豚既聪明又好玩。 但这是一个全新的水平!威拉在水下使劲地拍打着翅膀，飞出水面，飞向天空。 她以前从来没有这样做过，感觉棒极了!闪闪发光的水珠从她长长的头发上滴下来

tail and strong paws. It was so good to be flying again. And sure enough, the little dolphin zoomed up into the sky beside her, leaving a silvery trail of stars in its wake. When Willa did a midair somersault, the dolphin was right there doing one, too. It reminded Willa of when her swim team trained together, everyone focused on the same moves. "What's your name?" Willa asked the magical creature. "Delphina," replied the dolphin, hovering in midair and giving Willa a formal bow of introduction. "That was fun, but now we must hurry. The Tree Queen is waiting for you." This time it was Willa's stomach that did a somersault. Of course, she had been called to the Magic Forest for a reason! "Are Naomi and Azmina already there?" asked Willa, following Delphina as she zoomed ahead.

尾巴和强壮的爪子。又能飞起来真是太好了。 果然，小海豚在她身边飞上了天空，在它的身后留下了一串银色的星星。 当薇拉在空中翻筋斗时，海豚也在那里做着同样的动作。 这让威拉想起了她的游泳队一起训练时，每个人都专注于同样的动作。 “你叫什么名字?”威拉问这个神奇的生物。 “德尔菲娜，”海豚回答道，在半空中盘旋，给薇拉一个正式的介绍礼。 “那很有趣，但现在我们必须快点了。 树后在等你呢。” 这一次是威拉的肚子翻跟头。 当然，她被召唤到魔法森林是有原因的!“娜奥米和阿兹米娜已经到了吗?”威拉跟着德尔菲娜飞快地向前跑，问道。

Naomi was one of Willa's oldest friends. They had met on the very first day of kindergarten, and had been friends ever since. Azmina was the new girl who'd arrived at their school just this week. As soon as Willa saw Azmina, she knew they'd become friends. But more than all that, Naomi and Azmina were also Glitter Dragons!

娜奥米是薇拉的老朋友之一。 他们在上幼儿园的第一天就认识了，从此就成了好朋友。 阿兹米娜是这个星期刚到他们学校的新生。 威拉一见到阿兹米娜，就知道她们会成为朋友。 但更重要的是，娜奥米和阿兹米娜也是闪亮龙!
