DNA Analysis (#Wattys2017)

Chapter Nine (Macy POV)

     I woke up the next day and I could just feel something was off, I ignored the feeling and got up like it was a normal day. I went to the kitchen and made breakfast for myself, Dan, and Kitty. They came out a few minutes later, Kitty was dressed and ready but Dan was still in his PJ's "Dan get dressed." I said turning back to the stove to continue making my eggs.

     "But I don't wanna." he whined, his slight british accent a little thicker in his tired state.

     I rolled my eyes and smiled slightly "he's adorable when he's tired." I thought. I felt a strong arm wrap around my waist and I looked back to see Dan with his chin on my shoulder and his eyes closed trying to go to sleep. "Don't sleep on me." I giggled and tried to nudge him off.

     He didn't budge from his spot on my shoulder, but what he did do was turn his head and nuzzle his face into my neck "but you're warm." he said.

     I sighed and let him stay like that until I was done cooking, when I was done cooking I bumped my butt against him and he let me go "I heard there might be a lockdown drill today." Kitty said sitting at the table.

     "Yeah, they have to do it, don't know why it's not like we've been doing it since elementary school anyway." Dan said with slight sarcasm.

     "True but it's required and it doesn't take long, so deal with it." I said sweetly as I sat down and handed Kitty her plate.

     "What, don't I get a plate?" Dan whined.

     "You're a man, you can make your own plate." I said as I started eating.

     He huffed and made his plate. After we were done eating Dan went to get dressed and Kitty and I walked outside and hopped on Fulgur's back "you ready?" I asked Dan as he walked out.

     "Yep." He said hoping on Fulgur's back behind Kitty. Fulgur opened her black and blue wings and took off down the mountain. It wasn't long before she landed and we got off to go inside.

     "Kitty are you sure Caelum is latin for heaven." I said as i held up my phone and opened google translate.

     "Well the word you people would use is Coelum, but Caelum is latin for both Heaven and Sky so that's what we went with." Kitty said walking inside.

     "Aaaaaaah." I said finally getting it.

     "What surprises me is that you've forgotten your native tongue, Dragon can only speak latin unless we're talking through our heads, and even then it's a struggle because English and other languages are harder to learn and remember." she said.

     I grumbled "it's not my native tongue, I'm a human born in the 20th century, latin was forgotten by people long ago." I said.

     "But it's not obviously, we're here and we speak latin, and Dan obviously knows his stuff." she said.

     "Did he ever tell you it was also his goal to learn the words Pizza and cake in every language, along with no." I said.

     Kitty sighed "well at least he's learning something." she said with a nervous laugh.

     "Hey!!!!" Dan shouted, he smacked the back of both of our heads but considering Kitty was holding hers for about five minutes I'd say he went a little easy on me.

~Later~

     We were a little ways into second block when the intercom came on "Lockdown drill has started, I repeated the lockdown drill has started." we all got up and walked over to the corner where the teacher's desk was, then we all piled behind it and sat down. To make room Dan pulled me into his lap, or at least that's what he said, I think he just wanted me in his lap, which I wasn't going to complain about it, I liked it.
