And we see the best of friends with these two!

Chapter 14: Being Best Friends

Later that day, Max and Blaze were laying around the grass closer to the cave, looking at the skies rolling by and just talking with each other for a while and Blaze said, "So...you really see me as your best friend?"

"Of course. What else could I consider you?" asked Max.

Blaze sighed in response and said, "I don't know. Dragons aren't supposed to make or have any friends because we'd hurt them or something like that. Dragons are well-known as monsters and fire-breathing beasts and not protectors."

"Well...I don't see it that way with you. You're kind, smart, funny, strong and you have a big heart. They probably call you that because everyone treats you like one...even though they don't see you for who you really are." Max stated.

Blaze couldn't help but wonder why Max is very comfortable with dragons around and he asked, "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure." Max replied.

"Have you always been this way towards other dragons?" asked Blaze.

Max turns to the side and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I mean...you're not really afraid of being around dragons, flying with one and talking with one. Why is that?" asked Blaze.

Max wasn't sure if he was gonna bring this up or respond to that answer and he said, "Let's just say it's not the first time I've hung out with a dragon. My dad has got traveling dragons for trips when we fly places."

"Wow...there are more dragons besides me?" asked Blaze, amazed.

"Yeah, there is." Max stated.

Blaze chuckled in response to that and he said, "That's awesome, man. I hope I could meet them someday."

"Maybe you can." Max said.

Blaze chuckled softly and he turned to Max and he asked, "So...you're not afraid of dragons?"

"Nope. Not really." Max answered.

Both of them started laughing with each other and Max said, "I'm sure you're friends with tigers too."

"No. I've actually never been around tigers before, let alone be friends with one. Sometimes...I keep hearing rumors that tigers are killers and they don't have the best reputation." Blaze stated.

Max rolled his eyes in response to that and he said, "Some parts are true...but we're actually not as dangerous as everyone else thinks. I know I'm a white tiger, but I don't have to be a dangerous one so I need to remain as I am; just friendly, nice, sweet, kind and also cool at the same time, but not too cool."

"Why do they always say so much negative things about our different species?" asked Blaze.

"I wish I knew. Some people think that both tigers and dragons are beasts who are nothing more than killers and predators. I think that's just a bunch of horse crap." Max responded.

Blaze snickered at that particular label and he said, "You're right about that."

Max climbed onto the dragon's back and Blaze looked up for a bit and then Max said, "What's it like to fly?"

"Like...being free. You don't have to be told what to do and no one stops you. Whenever I spread my wings, I just go wherever life takes me." Blaze responded.

"That's very deep." Max said.

Suddenly, Blaze's ears perked up as he heard some rustling sounds coming through the bushes and asked, "What was that?"

"I don't know." Max replied.

Both of them braced themselves for what's happening and who's coming and Blaze was ready to instill those moves Max taught him while Max kept himself a little bit on edge and soon enough...he sees Tigress, Mako, Reiko, Samurai, Sage, Po, Musaki, Arizona, Logan, Tae Kwan Do, Mantis, Monkey, Phoenix and Summer coming out of nowhere and Max was shocked to see them standing there...but he saw their reaction when they found out that he's with a dragon.

"Max..." Arizona said, breathless.

"I am so screwed." Max said, completely mortified.

Caught! Now what happens? That's where the drama unfolds! Stay tuned!
