Chapter 9: The Game is Afoot

✋Toppa The Mornin to Ya' Laddies, and Lassies, and Gooood Mythical Morning. We have another awesome, chapter of DRAGON, again I don't own any of the characters, except for a majority of the OC's, except for Rosabelle, Big Shout to My Friend digiovinel358 She hasn't got anything written yet, but I can tell you from personal experience that she has a brilliant mind for character creation.

Drake's POV

After stepping back over the border, I felt weird, being on two legs again, and wearing clothes. " Always takes a weird turn, swapping back, and forth between species, doesn't it?" Taiyo asked, As I got the feel for walking on two legs, again. " Yeah, No kidding." I said, as The Jeep, showed up to pick us up. " Well at least someone will be happy, to see us." I said, as soon as we got there. " Hey guys, how was it?" Ben asked, " It went well, Ben, I hope TJ, wasn't too much trouble." I said, " Naw, He was no trouble at all. In fact almost everyone here thinks he's the best thing that came into this, school." He said, taking us, to Mal, and Evie's Room, there we saw, Evie brushing, TJ, as he just sat there enjoying the sensation, while Mal, sketched, the image, in here sketchbook, from her bed." Hey, Girls." I greeted, " How was TJ?"

" Oh Drake, Taiyo welcome back." Mal said, hugging us both. " Nah, We loved helping, Carlos, look after him." She explained, " Yeah, I never really appreciated working with a cute, baby animal, before I for one actually enjoyed it." Evie said, after she finished. " Alright, TJ, your all done." That's when he finally opened his eyes, and saw us. He lept off of, Evie's lap ran to us, and jumped into my arms, slurping my face in an expression of pure joy. " Hey, buddy, did you miss us?" I asked, He then leapt into to Taiyo's arms, and started kissing her face too. " Awww, Hey sweetie, did you be good for everyone while we were, gone?" She asked, " He sure was." Mal answered, " I really loved sketching him." " Yeah, he seemed to really enjoy, playing with the dangly feathers, of my voodoo amulets." Freddy said, as she pulled out a feather on a line, on a rod, started dangling it in front of TJ, who pawed at it. That's when I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. Mal was searching frantically around, Her, and Evie's room. " Where is it?" She said, in a panic, as Carlos, and Jay came by with Rosabelle holding a light brown colored coonhound puppy, with long dark brown ears that drooped past his paws, four white paws, white belly, and muzzle. " Aww, who's this little guy?" Taiyo asked, as she, gently rubbed his ears, while he just sniffed. " Oh, This is, Cooper." Rosabelle said, " Jay, got him for me, and Seeing the way you two take care of TJ, made Jay, and I want to take care of an animal too." " How exactly, did-?" I began, " He was free, I swear." Jay said, " Alright, calm down, I believe you." I agreed, the rest of the dragons, along with there romantics, finally came along, as well.

" Mal, what are you looking for?" Rachel asked, " My spellbook, it's gone." She said, panick. " Woah, what?" Tsuki asked, " You lost your spellbook?" " Where exactly did you loose it?" Aisha questioned, " I thought I had it, in my bag." Mal said as we began to search for it. " Hey you!" Bowen exclaimed, to a bassethound, that was sniffing in, Mal's bag. " Get, out of there." He said, he pulled him out. The dog, just hung his head in shame." It's alright Bowen." Taiyo said, as she pet the dog. " Basker, was just sniffing for clues that's all, he's supposed to do that. Right, boy?" She asked, as he responded with a slurp. That's when I saw, something else moving in Mal's bag, and out popped a couple of mice. One was slender, and light brown. He wore, a black over coat, matching jeans, and a pair of black, and white sneakers. The other was stalky, and slightly ligher in color to the other, as well as some what shorter. This one was wearing, an orange dress shirt, blue jeans, red, and white sneakers, and a black blazer." Taiyo, if you'd be so kind luv." said, the Slender one, in an english accent. " Oh, yeah sorry, Benedict." She said, letting Basker back into the bag. " Oh, right. " She said, realizing some of didn't get the connection. " The bassett is , Basker." She explained as the hound put his sniffer back to the bag. " The slender mouse is Benedict, the other one is, Martian." She explained.

" Did, you find anything?" She asked, " I did, this lock of hair, and this nail." Benedict said, showing us the clues, all in bags. " I'm going to take them back to our room now as a matter of fact, to do some forensic work." " Well couldn't Evie, and Doug look at them?" Garrett asked, " I think, there's a good reason why not." I said, " My guess if the culprit, caught you doing it in one of the dorms, or the science lab, they might find a way to get them into trouble." " Quite, right, Mr..." Benedict, stated. " Long, Drake Long!" I answered, " Right, whatever. Also sorry I never welcomed you to Auradon." " Wait, how-?" I began, " Here, he goes." Martian said, also british, in accent. " American, to be precise, New York the Manhattan, end of the Hudson." Benedict began. " Your clothes have themes uncommon here in, Auradon, also your scent, is that of Hot-Dogs, City life, and has the symbol of Spider-Man a Superhero, most common, and well known in Manhattan, New York." " Dang, dude." I whistled, " You impress me, Benedict, but your probably gonna say it's Elementary." " That's exactly what My Father, would say it is." Benedict added, " Come, Dawson the game is afoot."

" Um, Mal is there anything, in that book, we should be careful of ?" Desmona, asked. " Well, if the culprit, doesn't have magic, the most they can do is whip up, one of the potions." Mal answered, as Basker took, Benedict, and Martian to their dorm room. " So we should be careful of food we find in, or lockers." " She's right." Ozim, added, " No telling what they could do to us." " Yeah, at least until, Benedict has found out who's hair, and nail that was." Tara advised.

" In the meantime, don't we have a welcome back party, for Drake, and Taiyo?" Naomi asked, " She's quite right, I suggest, we, get to the cafeteria, and get started." Romulus agreed, " and don't worry the food we prepared, Mal, and Jane already enchanted to neutralize the affect of, what potion might have been in them. Finally we were down in the Cafeteria, and Taiyo, and I were starting off the dance. Lonnie was, the DJ, with Aziz, I was alittle nervous about couples dancing, but Taiyo guided me through it, then came Freddy's voice, accompanied by a guitar.

🎶🎤Why you standing over there, acting like you just don't care
We can make our own kind of music
We might come from different worlds, might not be your kind of girl
But I just wanna let go and lose it

We are lost and found
So let's go turn the beat around
And maybe find a brand new sound
Let's turn it up right now

Because the night is young
And it's just begun
Let's get it started, get it started
And go till the sun comes up
The night is young
The night is young
The night is young

Dance together, dance alone, let it out and let it show
Changing colors under the -
I just wanna have some fun, let my worries come undone
Right here right now it's feeling so right

We are lost and found
So let's go turn the beat around
And maybe find a brand new sound
Let's turn it up right now

Because the night is young
And it's just begun
Let's get it started, get it started
And go till the sun comes up
The night is young
The night is young
The night is young

And I wish that it would never end
I wish the song could play and play
Be who you wanna be and then
Just let the rhythm take you there

Because the night is young
And it's just begun
Let's get it started, get it started
And go till the sun comes up
The night is young
The night is young
The night is young.🎤🎶

At the end, Taiyo, and I leaned in to each other, and kissed.
