Dragon Fever

Just by the title, you can already guess what it is about. I thought of his story MONTHS ago, but since this story is probably going to be short, I kept pushing it off. Until now!!

Note: I do not own American Dragon. I do own the fake disease that I have made up especially for this story. XD

Chapter 1: Symptoms

Monday morning, the most dreaded thing to any kid. It meant the start of a new week, and the beginning of school. And it meant there was another four days after it, until it was finally the weekend. But when it is Monday, Friday seems so far away.

Once person you know who hated Monday's, was a mister Jake Long. Well, he actually hated everyday there was school, but Monday's he hated the most. Getting up so early, after you stayed up all Saturday night playing video games and watching TV. But the best thing to do was to get up already so the week could over sooner.

Just as late as usual, Jake slumped over to the kitchen, still half asleep. Still in his pajamas, he sat down on his dinner table, and waited for his mom to make his breakfast.

About two minutes past, still no breakfast. This was so out of the ordinary, usually Susan Long is the first person up. Jake stared out of the kitchen, wondering where his mother could be. Because in order to get ready, he needed energy. And the best way to get energized is a nice filling breakfast.

Suddenly, Susan walked down the stairs, and headed into the kitchen. She put her arm around Haley Long's back, comforting her daughter as they headed out of the living room. "I'm find mom, really, it's just a cough." Haley tried to put on a smile. But even she knew that she wasn't feeling well.

"Yo mom, where's breakfast!?" Jake rudely stated, as his mother made it inside.

"Hold on Jake." She eyed her son. Then she bent down on her knees over to Haley. "Haley, you don't look so good. You sure you don't want to stay home today?"

Haley let out a small baby cough. "I have to go to school today, mom. Today I have to perform violin concerto in front of the class. If I miss school, Olivia Meers might take my place and-"

"Okay honey. Just at least let me take your temperature." Susan Long walked over to the cabins, and brought out a thermometer. She then stuck it under Haley's tongue, and waited thirty seconds. Once the thermometer beeped, she lifted it in the air and read it a loud. "103.5! I'm sorry Haley but I can't-"

Haley interrupted her mother. "Mom, I feel fine. Please, just let me..." Suddenly a large cough was brought onto the nine year old. She put her mouth only to cover it up, but she then moved her hands out of the way as she found fire rushing out of her mouth. Once the fire stopped, Haley bent her head down, not only was she sick, she was tired.

"That's it Haley, your definably not going to school today. Now I want you to march into your room, and get some sleep." Haley nodded her head, and slowly walked up the stairs. As she trailed up the staircase, her small little dragon tail was sticking out.

Susan knew the dangers of Haley being sick, especially since her dragon powers constantly happening randomly. "Guess I won't go into work today." Susan set her purse down onto the counter.

"I'm gonna be late for school!"

Suddenly Jonathan appeared from the living room. He positioned his tie to the perfect spot, and then he went into the living room. "Morning familia!" He greeted his family as usual.

"Jonathan, Haley's sick."

"Oh, that's terrible!" He cried out. "Well I only have to go half day today. Maybe I can take the day off, and watch over-"

Remembering that not even five minutes ago, Haley was breathing out fire; maybe it was best if she stayed home instead of him. "No! I mean, no honey I'll stay. It's nothing at all really,"

"Okay then but if you need me, I'm only a phone call away and I will leave the office." Jonathan walked back up the stairs, to get the rest of his things.

Jake stared at his mom, still waiting for his breakfast.

"MOMMY!" You could hear Haley yell from upstairs.

"Coming honey!" Susan yelled back, as she ran up the steps.

Now Jake was all alone, in the kitchen. "You know what; I guess I'll just get something at school!!" He yelled, then stomped his feet as he headed back into his room to get ready for school.

Not even five minutes into the day, and Jake is already having a rough Monday morning. But there was someone who was having it worse than he was, Haley Long. Most kids would die to get even the smallest cold, just to get out of school; but not her, she was one of the few people that like to go to school. But Haley now feels that same sickening pain that every kid feels just as they get up early in the morning for the beginning of a new week.

Looks like little Haley is sick. Let's hope she feels better...soon! xDD I will try to update this, as soon as possible.
