Chapter III: A Valentines Day To Remember

Dan walked down the hall, towards Hannah's room, holding something behind his back, so she wouldn't see it. He knocked on her door. "Dan?"

"He Hannah. I know this is so cliché but it's all I could think of. Valentines Day caught me off guard this year, what with all the magical creature disappearances and all, but…" Dan took a bouquet of flowers from behind his back, and handed it to Hannah.

"Thanks Dan." Hannah said, smiling.

"You know, I was wondering… there haven't been any attacks on the city today, so maybe we could go somewhere tonight?"

"Sure. How about at 5:00?" Hannah asked.

"Sounds good." And with that he walked off. "Dang, this doesn't get any easier in a second life, either…" Dan muttered under his breath. "I hate that Travis… or whoever he was for returning us to our young teen forms…"

… … … … …

"My warriors," The Huntsmaster said through his electronic throne. His head was slightly tilted to the side and his eyes were open, staring emotionlessly at everyone around. He wore red and black armor without his usual mask, and had big-foot hide as a cape. "The time has come… I have fully analyzed the American Dragons' fighting styles. Tomorrow we shall put our plan into action. Soon, the world will thank my ways… no matter how extreme they may be." His eyes turned to Sirus, who was standing next to him. "Make sure all goes according to plan, Sirus. Make sure those mercenaries Frostbite and Heatwave are at that restaurant…"

"Yes, sir…" Sirus picked up six bars of gold and exploded into flames.

… … … … …

Dan and Hannah sat talking and making jokes about the waiter behind his back. Fun, in Dan's dictionary… and apparently Hannah's to, for she had joined him. "Hey, watch this…" Hannah said. She created a snowball and threw it at their waiter's back. He turned to see Hannah and Dan talking, then turned back towards the kitchen.

"Now." Dan said. Another snowball, this one hit his neck. He was angry, but walked on. Then the final blow, Hannah knocked off the man's wig with a snowball.

"That's it! Who did that?" He demanded an answer. Silence. Then everyone went back to eating or talking. "Argh…. Dumb sorcerers, world would be better without em'." The man said.

"You know Hannah, it's been a long time since I've had so much fun. Heh, with all the fighting that's been going on, I forgot what fun was!" Dan half-joked. Hannah smiled. They looked into each other's eyes and slowly leaned in when, you guessed it, the door breaks down and two evil super-powered freaks step in wanting to kill the two dragon-children. "Great." Dan said as he stared at the two teen-age mutants. One had red hair and an orange vest over a red t-shirt with blue jeans. The other had light-blue hair and a white t-shirt with light-blue jeans. "I should have known something like this would happen." Dan said. "Who are you two guys?"

"I'm Heatwave," The red-haired one said.

"And I'm Frostbite." The icy-blue haired teen said coldly.

"Yeah, and we have someone who is very interested in you dragon-children," Heatwave said, a smirk on his face. "They're paying us some good dollars to bring you to him, and that's what we intend to do."

"Bounty hunters…" Dan said. The people of the restaurant quickly ran outside. Dan morphed into a dragon and prepared for battle.

"So they are the ones! Frostbite!" Frostbite created a large icicle and had it levitate in the air, as it grew a bit larger. It then launched itself towards Hannah, who blasted it with a fire spell. She too then morphed into her dragon form and prepared for battle. She created a ball of wind in her hands, which she threw at Frostbite, knocking him away. "Frostbite…!" Heatwave opened his mouth and flames came out continuously. He walked forward, melting any chairs and tables in the way. Hannah blasted him with a ball of ice, but it had no effect. "Like that'll hurt me." Dan kicked Heatwave into Frostbite, who was just getting up.

"Get off me." Frostbite said, kicking Heatwave away. He created a larger icicle and directed it towards Hannah. Lucky for her it hit Heatwave.

"Ow! Watch where you're aiming that thing, Frostbite." Just then, after all of Dan's futile tries to hurt the two, and idea!

"Hey, Hannah, I see now. Only they can hurt each other! Did you ever finish studying that mind control spell?" Hannah grinned wickedly.

"Uh oh…" Frostbite and Heatwave said in unison. Later, the two ran off into the night. "Freaks! You're not worth the cash!"

… … … … …

"You know Dan," Hannah began, watching the sunset from a hill in front of the restaurant. "besides those two bounty-hunters, I had fun today." She said.

"So did I."

"Thanks for taking me out tonight," She kissed Dan's cheek as the sun slowly set. They then leaned in and kissed. "I love you Dan." Dan smiled.

"I love you too." He said.

END CHAPTER

Well, that's it for this chapter. Next time, The Huntsmaster Strikes! An army of enemies, new and old march towards the city, and Dan, Jake, and Hannah are the targets! Will they ever get any rest? That's very unlikely…
