Disclaimer: I don't own Jane and the Dragon. I only own Luna, and no using her without asking me first!
Kinda ironic, actually. I'm doing a fanfiction collection for We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story [Yes, I am such a sucker for the big reptiles, aren't I?] with something along the same lines. Just have this odd tendency with this idea, considering some very cute and funny little ficelets and oneshots can be made with this thought-set.

Anyway, read and enjoy! ^^
Why There Needs To Be:
Dragon and Jane sat in the light of the setting sun on Jane's tower as they poured over a book of the strange symbols that had been held at the core of their friendship for as far back as their meeting. The Dragon Runes. The slightly blustery day from earlier had died down to a more breezy state, which was a comfort in the late afternoon. Little did the two know that they were about to get another study partner.
"Mummy!" Luna, now five years of age, called as she ascended the stairs to the top of the tower, her feet slapping against the cobblestones.
"Yes, Luna?"
"What are you doing?"
"Looking at Dragon Runes." Dragon quickly explained, and Luna's insatiable child curiosity immediately spiked as she laid eyes on the new material entering into her small world.
"What are Dragon Runes?"
"It is sort of like a dragon's way of writing a story." Jane tried to describe the symbols exact meaning without further confusing Luna. But the little girl seemed to understand, and her small hand lightly ran across the page, as though trying to feel the meaning in the parchment the marks were on.
"Other dragons writing stories?" She asked, looking inquisitively at their resident dragon.
"Well, we do not really know if there are any other dragons…" The fire-breather corrected, for once a bit of the usual bravado slipping a little. Jane placed a comforting hand on his scaly flank, bringing a small flicker of encouragement back to Dragon's eyes.
"No, there are more dragons!" Luna suddenly insisted in an assured squeak so firm that both mother and reptile looked up in slight bemusement.
"How do you know?" Dragon asked, tilting his head curiously to one side as he waited to hear exactly what made the five year old so sure of her statement. However, neither of them were prepared for what her reason was.
"Because Dragon needs a mummy and a daddy too!"
Yes, this line was what pretty much created this ficlet. Could not stop laughing as I was reading that. Little kids can just be too precious, can't they? ^^
Please review, dear readers!
