FIRE AND ICE
CHAPTER ONE: MIDNIGHT RACE
Jake was flying around the city, he didn't know why his Grandfather wanted him to do this. He was thinking about packing it in for the night since it was getting late when he saw a dark shape cut across the sky below him. "Hey what's this?" Jake asked himself.
Jake managed to get lower and catch up with the object, it was another dragon, like him only a bit more slender, black scales and a beige underside, hair was white and had two horns growing out of it curling back a bit near the ends, almost like a goats.
"Well hello there?" It said to him in a feminine voice with a smile.
"Well what's a fizine girl like you doing out on a night like this?" Jake asked.
"Just out for a late night flight…" She answered, then she looked him over, "you look fast."
"Babe…I'm anything you want me to be."
"You're funny, care to race?" She asked with a giggle.
"Okay, where too, sweet thing?" Jake asked.
"From here…across the Manhattan Bridge…first to reach Ground Zero wins." She explained.
"Sounds fair to me, ready when you are." Jake answered.
"Okay…Ready…Set…" She said, just before taking off.
"Hey! What happened to go?" Jake asked as he flew after her.
"Not enough time." She answered with a laugh, "Now let's see what you're made of big boy."
Jake took off rather quickly trying to close the gap between her and him.
The Dragoness saw him catching up and quickly picked up her speed, "Oh no…you're not getting away that easily." Jake told her.
By the time they reached the Manhattan Bridge they were pretty much neck and neck, as soon as they were in the home-stretch the Dragoness moved so she was flying over Jake and breathed down upon him.
Jake then felt something cold hit his wings, not only that but weighing him down, suddenly he saw his wings were covered in frost, the next thing he knew he found himself crashing into a dumpster. The last thing he heard was, "Better luck next time Big Guy!"
"Grrrr…CHEATER!" Jake shouted, then returned to his human form, then he saw where he was, "Aww man…looks like I'll have to shower tomorrow." Jake complained as he got out of the dumpster.
