Chapter 1

Jake Long nervously rang Rose's doorbell as he gripped the flowers in his had a bit tighter. He had been dating Rose for a year now, but he still got nervous every time they went out. So many of our first dates have been disasters, Jake thought as he waited at the door, I hope that our disaster date period is over so I can take Rose to homecoming. Jake smiled as Rose opened the door, wearing a beautiful blue dress and a huge smile as she saw him.

"Hi Jake," Rose said as she seemed enchanted. Jake felt the feeling was mutual.

"Ready to go, Rose?" Jake asked as he handed her the flowers, "I got these for you," he added as he realized that she had the flowers. Rose smelled them and smiled as she closed the door and gripped Jake's hand.

"They're lovely," Rose said as she set them on her porch and they walked down the stairs. Rose then let go of his hand and started to walk across the street. Suddenly a car came out of nowhere and sped towards them without even touching their brakes. Rose screamed as the car hurtled towards her. Quickly Jake morphed into his dragon tail and pulled her onto the sidewalk with him just before the car hit her. The car continued to speed by and Jake heaved a sigh of relief as he gripped Rose in his tail.

"That was close!" Rose cried with a tremor in her voice, "Thanks for saving me, Jake."

"Who was that?" Jake said angrily as he morphed down his tail and balled his fist, "They were trying to kill you and me, and no one gets away with that!" Rose gripped Jake's shoulder and pulled him to eye level.

"Don't worry about it," Rose said, "Every time you go after someone you always end up getting hurt. I don't want that to happen this time." Jake took a few breaths to try to calm down. After a few breaths he opened his eyes and looked at Rose with a smile.

"Let's forget about this and enjoy our date tonight," Jake said as he kissed her.

"I don't know if I can forget it, but I can definitely try with kisses like that," Rose said as they went to the restaurant.
