Isabella awoke to some knocking at her cottage door. She whines stubbornly, but makes her way to the door. Her hair is all tangled, her eyes were halfway closed and she is wrapped in her blanket she dragged from bed. The knocking goes on continuelessly(?) and gets more and more aggressive with each knock. Soon it goes changes from knocks into pounds. Then from pounds to, well, kicks. Once she made it to the front, she was only halfway to the door when suddenly the door got busted down. The outter part of the door has dents in the wood which was CLEARLY VISABLE but not for whoever was knocking. Isabella looked outside and saw a girl who is a bit shorter than her. She had black, short hair which she had tied to a bun with sticks(?) "sticking" out of it. She wore a blue, yellow, and white sweater with blue leggings. Isabella could see she wears a tax collector badge. She holds the reins of a dragon who is mostly white with a bit of light blue. It has a medium size, white beard from it's chin. It had four legs and wings which it had fur all over them. (search up the Dragonvale picture to see how the dragon looks like because I'm too lazy to describe them with more detail)

"Well, it's time for your rent of Dragoncash you owe us." The girl said with her left hand outstretched waiting for the money.

"A-about that c-chief." Isabella studdered with great worriedness and fright,"I don't have enough.."

The girl didn't take that very kindly, "FOR KAIRIOS SAKE ISABELLA! YOU HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PAY FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS! AND WHAT IS WORST IS THAT I GET 60% OF WHAT YOU PAY BUT SINCE YOU DON'T PAY, I DON'T GET ANY MONEY."the girl shouted at Isabella who, took a step back,"YOU ALREADY OWE US 30,000 DRAGONCASH FOR THE PAST MONTHS AND NOW IT'S 40,000. GET YOURSELF TOGETHER WOMAN."

"Look I'll pay you back soon-" Isabella started,"YOU SAID THAT THE LAST COUPLE OF TIMES AND DID YOU DO THAT?! NO!" The girl shouted in rage, "THIS HAS GONE LONG ENOUGH. IF YOU DON'T PAY UP WITHIN A WEEK, YOU'LL GET KICKED OUT OF THIS COTTAGE." The girl said as she saddled up on her dragon and left.

Isabella looked down, she quickly raced to her parents' room and moved their desk diagonally from the original position. There, a small safe is revealed. Isabella quickly dialed in the code but the door won't budge open.
'No surprise there, this was only for emergencies.' Isabella thought.
Isabella impatiently kicks the safe but no avail, the safe door hasn't moved at all. She then gives up and leaves the safe alone. She goes to her room and pulls out her sash. In her sash has a few buttons, mostly dirt, and one or two golden coins.
'Damn. This isn't enough.' Isabella ponders to herself.
"THERE IS NO WAY I AM GONNA BE ABLE TO PAY THEM!" Isabella shouts to herself,"There has to be a way to get this much money and fast." Isabella signed and left her cottage searching for a part time job. Sadly, there was no need for jobs nearby so Isabella was quite hopeless. She then fell flat onto her bed and drifted off into slumber. She then woke up to a soft, warm glow that came from her staff. She sat up and grabbed it, feeling strength and confidence seeping through the gem and into her arm.
'The omninnite..' Isabella thought as the gem glowed amber with a light hint of green. She looked about her room when she suddenly heard someone or something eating noisily. Not that loud to wake someone up, but loud enough to be heard from a room. Isabella creeped to her brothers' room and saw the plant dragon eat it's fill from the few Dragon Snaps she had gathered. She watched in amazement as the plant dragon drank it's fill and left through the window. Isabella went to close it but she quickly realised that the plant dragon held a stick with it's feet and shut the window by putting the sick into one of the handles and flying the way to close it. Soon, the dragon flew off leaving the omninnite to stop glowing. Isabella caught her breath as she took the bowl and candle stick back. What she didn't know was the plant dragon saw her. It knew very well that she is not dangerous.... yet.

The plant dragon looked from the window as Isabella hurried out the door for school. Once she was two islands away, the dragon flew out the window, closed it, and followed from afar.

"Ah, Isabella, what excuse do you have for showing up late?"joked Mr. Tarson as Isabella sat down on her seat. Every student was watching Isabella as she looked down to her lap.

"Now then, we will be doing an experiment class. The school was able to get baby dragons so we will figure out how many dragon treats it takes for the dragon to grow." Mr. Tarson explained. "Yes Amanda?"

"Will we get to keep the dragons?" Amanda asked looking bored, "Because what is the use feeding them if we can't keep them?"

"Now Amanda you of all students should know that you all are too young to raise a dragon. Especially a baby one in fact." Mr. Tarson said rolling his eyes.

'Feeding a dragon doesn't count as raising it right?' Isabella thought,
'Ah well, maybe disobeying a rule can't hurt.'

"Now, we will each be visiting a farm which is on a wizard's island so please, behave." Mr. Tarson said.

~~~le time skip brought to you by a lazy person who can't write~~~

"Greetings! Welcome to Evergreen Acres!"a man said kindly as the class approached the entrance.

"Ah, long time no see Fred. How's the park going?" Mr. Tarson said to the man.

"It's doing just fine Eric! Now tell me why you all want to plant some dragon treats?" The man said as he looked at the children,"Are you guys ready for some growing?" The children groaned but a few of them just yawned.

'This will be interesting but yet, boring'
