The first dragon in modern society

Chapter 2

                                            Chapter 2

" Ok. Alex, I have a book about dragons and I remember reading that if you find an egg that looks strange and different from the regular chicken egg, depending on the color, you put it in its environment. Like if the color of the egg is blue, you put it in boiling water and if it is red or yellow, you put it in fire."

" But this one is purple. What does that mean?"

" I don't know. But seeing how it's closer to blue, let's put it in water."

After they put it in water they put it over the fire to keep it warm

*10 days later*

The egg hatches

" Hey the egg hatched!"

" Really, what does it look like? What color is it?"

" Why don't you look for yourself?"

" Oh yay!"

" Oh it's so cute!"

" Rawrk!"

" Look Carla, he even knows his mother."

" Who me, no, I can't be a dragon's mother. Can I?"

" Well, if they act like birds do, then yes because you are the first thing that it saw."

" Oh well if you put it that way... Hey, that means that you are the dad."

" What?...wait...what?"

" *giggling* I can't raise this thing by my self."

" Ok so I think the first thing we have to do is name it. What should we call him?"

" Well, first of all, it's not a 'him' it's a 'her'."

" Wait, how do you know?"

" Do you see, right there, on top of the head?"

" Yeah. What am I supposed to be looking at?"

" Its a horn. Only the females have horns on their head."

" How do you know? There isn't anything that I have found on a nightfury."

" Well, my great great great great great grandfather, Hiccup the Horrendous, he was the first viking to ride a dragon and do you know what kind of dragon that was?"

" Umm...a nightfury?"

" Yep. And his name was Toothless."

" That is some nice history fact you got there, Carla."

" Thank you."

" Hey, um, Carla, did Toothless have gills?"

" Not that I heard from the stories in the family, why?"

" Well, she breathes fire, or like some kind of blue light, but has gills. Do you think it's because we put her in water?"

" Maybe, I don't know. If it is, then she must have adapted to the environment that her egg was in so she could live in the environment that it thinks it was placed at."

" Well, the name."

" Umm, maybe...Blacky?"

" Ehh. How about Abby?"

" No, it's to human like. How about Pepper?"

" I like that name."

" Yay. That was the name of my dog when I was little. He died when I was 10."

" Sorry for your loss...Hey, Carla, it's getting late, shouldn't you be getting home? You have work in the morning."

" Yeah, well, good night. Love you."

" Love you. I'll make sure she is fine throughout the night."

" Ok."

After they all went to sleep, the dragons are out to play. Pepper got up and started for the food, which is normal for animals who just woke up. She got into the first meat she could find, which was the chicken that Alex forgot to put away. Then, she got into the trash because she smelled some chicken that they didn't finish and threw away. After she found what she could eat or desiring to eat, she snuggled up with Alex for the rest of the night.

* the next day*

" Where did all the chicken go!!"

" Grawk"

" You ate it!?"

" Graw"

" Well we didn't feed you so I guess it ok, but next time warn me or nudge me...uh oh. I'm turning into a father."

* ring ring*

" Hello"

" Hey Alex"

" Oh hey Carla, what's up?"

" I just wanted to know how and what did Pepper do during the night."

" Well she ate all of the chicken we got from KFC and then I think she snuggled up with me because I found her laying next to me this morning."

" Oh that must have been a cute sight, I wish I was there."

" Yeah I feel like I'm turning into a father with the way I told Pepper that I wish she would have showed me that she was hungry instead of just taking it."

" Did she eat the chicken that we had last night?"

" Yes and she got into the trash and made a mess."

" I'm sorry."

" For what?"

" I saw the chicken on the counter and I thought that you would put it away."

" Don't feel bad. At least someone got to it."

" Well, Pepper isn't a human, she's a dragon."

" Oh the technicality from you, love that."

" Thank you"

" Your welcome, bye, she's starting to chew on my pillows. I'll talk to you later, hey don't chew on the couch continue with the pillows. NOOOO"

" Ok I'll talk to you later then, bye."
