This chapter is for my ultimate #1 fan I heard today that she is having a surgery and I hope she'll be feeling a little bit cheered up after reading this *hug her* Get better soon, please!

By the way, I hope this will inspire another great chapter from my friend Jojo Shamer :P I bet it would be fun to hear how Joe-Joe asks her teacher about where babys come from. And better a teacher explains than having her ask her fluffy unka Kura. I bet he would be really graphic about that!


A dragon tale for Miss Jojo.

Joey was typing on his laptop, working on a new book. A book about dragons, inspired by his little daughter Joe-Joe. The little angle that he had gotten lost in this freakishly huge mansion. It had taken two hours till he found her sleeping in a room where she had been painting on a canvas she had found there. She still was playing treasure hunt in this place and actually finding something new every time. Right now Joey didn't need to worry about the blue eyed, little puppy eye monster. Her brother was home today and he was always playing with her. He's the most caring brother Joey had ever seen. He would do everything for the little girl and never get really annoyed. Joey was sure that he sometimes must feel annoyed but he never showed that. He hardly ever showed any emotions but that was getting better. He was smiling sometimes and could look a tiny bit upset by now. Joey had noticed a lot of changes since Seth had started school and started to spent a lot of time with his classmate, Jaden. He's a sweet boy and very active.

Joey heard his daughter laughing in the next room and was sure that he would have a hell of a hard time to clean her that night. He had given them permission to redecorate the art room that she had found the paint and canvas in the other day. And that included the permission to paint the walls whatever way they wanted to. She was probably painting butterflies or dragons. Her two favourites at the moment. She was a great little artist. She had made a painting of her family the other day and it was easy to see who was who. And not only because of the hair colour. She was getting better by the day and Joey didn't mind encouraging her by letting her paint pictures on the walls in the art room.

Suddenly the door burst open and Joe-Joe, looking excited, ran in followed by Seth. "Pappy's a bunny." She suddenly said and Joey had to fight a laughing fit immediately.

"I beg your pardon?" Joey said, still fighting back his laughter afraid it might hurt the girl´s feelings. "Would you mind explaining that to me?"

"The evil Pegasus monster turned the black dragon into a bunny." Joe-Joe said, sounding like Joey was stupid because he didn't already know.

"I thought Seto ate the Pegasus bunny?" Joey said and looked at Seth for help.

"It's a new story." Seth said.

"Oh please, kids sit down and tell me." Joey said, pulled Joe-Joe on one of his legs. She was covered in paint and couldn't be allowed to sit on the furniture. Then he pulled Seth up to sit on his other leg. He knew that Seth only allowed that because he loved his dad and actually felt much too mature for it but he was still a child and Joey didn't want him to grow up to fast.

"The story starts with the white dragon sleeping in a desert that was covered by snow. He flew around and loved eating snow rabbits or some of the few birds that lived in this parts. It was late at night when a bird was daring enough to enter his lair.

The bird used it's sharp peak to wake the dragon. It was only a little tickle through his thick scales but it worked and the dragon opened it's ice blue eyes. The raven with red eyes looked into the eyes that looked like the icy sky that hang over the desert that looked like it was made out of crystals. 'Help me,' the bird said 'you need to help me for your own sake.'

"Why?' The dragon asked, sounding sleepy and turned a little 'Do you want to die? I can help you with that.'

'Don't be silly.' The bird chided the dragon. 'I want you to help me turning back into the dragon I am, so I can kill that disgusting magician that turned ME into a puny little raven.'

The white dragon roared with laughter. 'You're trying to tell me that you're a dragon?' he asked, still shaking with laughter.

'He wants to get rid of all the dragons in the world' the raven said. 'That's how I found out about you. He's coming for you to turn you into a puny little snow rabbit.'

The laughter stopped. 'He couldn't. He wouldn't. HOW DARE HIM!' the white dragon roared with anger and looked at the raven, right into it's red eyes. 'Your eyes are red. I've never seen a raven with red eyes.'

'Aren't you listening?' The raven asked, clearly getting annoyed. 'I'm not a raven. I'm a dragon. I'm the dragon of the fire land and usually hunt at night, flying over the burned grounds around the volcanos where only the toughest creatures survive.'

'That explains why you're so tiny and puny,' the white dragon said ,'you probably don't get enough food.'

'Stop thinking about food' the raven chided. 'This is serious, you stupid idiot, we need to find a way to reverse the spell, so I can kill that bastard.'

'And do you have any idea on how to do that, genius?' the white dragon asked 'Because if not, you better watch it because I'm getting hungry and you look awfully yummy.'

'Don't you dare.' The raven said but moved back a little from the huge dragon. The white dragon of the crystal desert looked even bigger than he had been. 'We need to work together to win this. My smarts and your brutal strength combined is our only chance.'

'Like I said,' the white dragon said and stood up to stretch himself. The chat with the raven had made him wide awake and it wasn't even sunrise which made him extremely cranky. 'If you're as smart as you say you are, then stop annoying me any further, because if you don't, you'll be my breakfast.' With that the white dragon walked out of the cave and took off into the sky. Feeling the wind under his huge wings made him instantly feel better. He looked around for something to eat and once his sharp blue eyes had spotted something, he dived down to get it. He burned it to a cinder with it's hot blue lightning like flames and ate it right after that. He didn't like the taste of raw meat and loved the taste the meat got when nice and crispy and a little softened again by the melted ice water that would pool around his prey, for a little while after getting heated by the dragon´s flames. After eating a few small animals, the white dragon looked at the raven that was following him. 'Aren't you hungry, little dragon bird?' He asked teasingly.

'I'm starving actually,' The bird said. 'But I still absolutely can't stand the stench and taste of raw meat and unlike you I currently can't breathe fire to burn the meat.'

Joey looked at him for a moment and then flew to burn the next animal but this time he didn't eat it. 'There, maybe you'll be less annoyingly cranky when you've been fed.'

The raven looked surprised at the huge dragon that could have eaten him at the start and now was helping him to some tasty food. The raven ate it, keeping his eyes wearily on the dragon that was watching him.

'We should leave,' the dragon said, 'there are many predators that like to eat ravens around here. You'll be safest in my lair.'

'You ate birds, too.' The raven said. 'But fine, I do need your help I fear. We need to make a plan to reverse the spell, so I can kill Pegasus.'

'Let's talk about it at my lair.' The white dragon said with a yawn. He was stuffed and felt like having a nap after the early start. 'By the way, I'm Joey.'

'Seto.' He said, still sounding grumpy. 'And you better take this serious.'

Joey rolled his blue eyes and said 'Chill. I simply kill him and then we'll be fine.'

'Don't you dare, he said that I'll never turn back if he dies.' Seto said angry.

'And you swallowed that load of crap?' Joey asked. 'I bet it's just to stop him from getting killed by someone who helps you.'

'I'm not stupid. I know that it might be like that.' Seto said sill upset. 'But you're not the one stuck being a raven for the rest of his life if it isn't a lie.'

Joey looked at him and said: 'Don't worry, I'll mind you then and burn your food for you.'

'You mean until you got me fattened up to burn and eat me?' Seto asked sceptically, remembering the thing about him being tiny from lack of food. It seemed like this white dragon didn't think about anything but food and sleep. He couldn't really hold it against him. This land definitely had it's own harshness, considering the freezing cold but there was much more prey around and no predator in existence was strong enough to harm a grown dragon like he was. He clearly never needed to think about anything other than food and sleep.

Once at the lair, Joey curled himself up while Seto asked and started to shiver from the cold 'I thought we´d plan?'

'You're the smart ass.' Joey said and spread a wing over the raven and pulled him closer to his warm body. 'You plan, I warm you and keep you safe, my little friend.'

'I'm not your friend.' The raven said and saw a sad look in the cold blue eyes before they were closed without another word. 'But thanks anyway.' He added and cuddled up to the strong dragon.

Seto stayed for a few days and still had no idea about what he could do to get turned back. Pegasus must be nearly there and Joey still looked like he didn't care at all. He did keep his promise though and caught one more animal than he ate and left it for Seto. He also kept him warm when lying in his lair. Seto grew more and more used to his presence and started to enjoy watching him flying around in the air. Proud and strong but playful. Every morning he would fly a few loopings before starting to hunt and he seemed to truly love the play time. He always looked happy and carefree but was very kind to the little raven with the strange red eyes, that wasn't truly a raven at all.

This went on until a strange man showed up one morning. Joey had never seen his white hair that covered half his face. 'Joey no, fly away.' Seto screamed, sounding terrified. Joey looked at him for a moment. That was just a human. Nothing special or dangerous at all.

At least he had thought so until he saw a golden ray shooting from the hidden eye of the strange man towards him. Joey saw the raven fly in the way of the light, trying to protect the huge dragon but Joey couldn't bare this poor little creature getting hurt. He moved his wings around the raven, knowing that he might fall out of the sky in the shape of a bunny which probably would kill him. But something happened that no one was expecting. The white wings that were just as white as the crystal like snow beneath them, reflected the light ray and shot it back to Pegasus.

The first thing Joey noticed was how the raven started to change. It's wings getting bigger and the feathers turned to a scaly skin. Joey flew away, towards Pegasus who turned all white and got smaller. Pegasus had just turned into a rabbit, not even knowing what happened yet when a blue flame hit him and burned him to a cinder. The next second Joey was eating the rabbit whole.

He turned after that was done, to look at the raven. But instead a big black dragon that was only a little smaller than Joey landed on the snow covered ground next to the white dragon. Joey stared at the majestic dragon and said: 'The bunny was tasty.'

'I should have known that the first thing you say now would be about food.' Seto said sounding upset. 'He was mine and you took him from me. He turned me into a raven and I wanted to get back at him.'

'Sorry.' Joey said, not sounding sorry at all. 'But my reason to revenge was bigger.'

'You didn't have a reason' Seto said with a growl in his voice.

'I did.' Joey insisted. 'He had turned the only other dragon, that I know exists, into a raven. He might have turned the only other being of the same kind that I am into food. I'm sick of being alone and liked having you around but I was always afraid of hurting you because of him. I needed to revenge that he did. I wanted to get back for what he did to you, because I like you.'

Seto stared at the white dragon whose beautiful movements in the air he had watched for days and walked closer cuddling his head against Joey and said 'Thank you.'

'Will you go back? To the volcanos?' Joey asked, sounding upset but he saw how Seto still shivered, even as a dragon he wasn't used to the cold.

'No.' Seto said. 'You wouldn't like it there and I liked being around you. I like hearing you laugh.'

'But you´ll freeze here.' Joey said 'Let's go and find a home that we'll both like.'

And with that the two dragons flew around the world to find a place that wasn't too warm nor to cold and had plenty of food for the always hungry white dragon. And they lived happily ever after."

Joey smiled at his little son and Joe-Joe said: "You forgot the baby. Joey will get a baby from Seto."

"Two guys can't get a baby." Seth said.

"Why not?" Joe-Joe asked. "You said that with the other dragons too but why? Where do babies come from anyway?"

Joey blushed and said: "You'll learn that in school when you're older."

"I´ll ask Jojo then. I bet she'll tell." Joe-Joe said.

"Tell her the story, too." Joey said with a smile "From what I heard about her from you two she'll get a kick out of it. But don't tell pappy. He won't like being turned into a helpless raven by the likes of Pegasus."

"Yeah, we'll tell her in school tomorrow." Joe-Joe said with a smile. "Come Seth, we´ll paint a dragon on the wall." And with that she was out of the room and Seth gave a sigh.

"How's the book coming along?" Seth asked, while already getting off Joey's leg to follow his sister.

"If you want to, you can read the start later. We'll just send her to bed and you come back to us when she sleeps. You shouldn't have to go to bed with her anyway." Joey said and patted the boy, who smiled at him a little before disappearing. And Joey wished he could see the face of Miss Jojo when she heard that tale and Joe-Joe asked her about babies.
