Daniel came bounding down the stairs and skidded into the kitchen, only to not quite make it into the room and instead he slamed into the door way and fall onto the tile floor. This was much to the amusement of the two dragons, Jasmine had her head on the table laughing so hard she almost couldn't breathe and Cameron was looking over his shoulder with a stupid grin on his face, at the human sprawled out on the floor.
Daniel groaned "I think the door jamb won that round."
Jasmine busted out into another fit of laughter at Daniels response.
"W-why don't Y-you J-just hit I-it H-harder next time!" the dragoness gasped out between laughter. the only thing she got in response from Daniel was a glare that could kill.
"Alright Jasmine you got your laugh now give him a brake." Cameron said while stirring something in a sauce pan.
"Fine, Fine, so what's for lunch?"
"You'll see" Cameron's cryptic response came.
"Smells like pasta sauce... is it a noodle with tomato sauce mixed with some sort of meat?" Daniel guessed
"Bingo" Cameron said without turning from his cooking
Daniel took a seat across from Jasmine staring at her through squinted eyes. The dragoness raised an eye ridge and Daniel just sat back with a grin on his face.
"What's so funny?" the dragoness asked
"Nothing... just a thought"
"And what might that thought be?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"Yes" the dragoness growled with impatience
"Ah... well I was thinking about you two..." The dragoness's eyes narrowed "What about us?"
"Well the fact you two seem to be pretty close for friends"
The dragoness's eyes went wide and Cameron stopped stirring the sauce in the pan, this only seemed to confirm Daniel's suspicion.
"Ah... so I was right"
"Fine... you got us." Jasmine admitted, Cameron went back to stirring.
"So what's the story?" Daniel asked sitting back with his hands behind his head.
"What?"
"The story, how you to got together" Daniel explained
"Oh... well it was after the war, after Spyro and Cynder put the world back together. I was returning to my family's home when I found a dragon laying on his side next to my house, this dragon 'Cameron' was unconscious and almost dead from battle wounds. So I drug him up to the spare bedroom on the second story and began to nurse his wounds, it was two weeks until he was up and walking.
After he woke up he was quiet didn't speak to anyone not me or my family, until one night a pair of cheetah's tried to brake in and rob the house. Cameron knocked them out and through them into the street and after that when I tried to thank him all he would do was shake his head 'no'. Then he said in a whisper so quiet I could just barely hear it.
"Please stop thanking me I only did what was right."
After that he began to talk to me, and a few weeks after that the temple opened up and school started again. Cameron is a bit unlucky when it comes to bullies, they like to think of his silence as a weakness. So on the first day of school an over groan earth dragon tried to hit on me.
Saying why I was hanging around with some mute loser and that I should be with him and his group. After his boasting he tried to put a wing on my shoulder I just shoved him away, which enraged him enough to try to slap me. But Cameron knocked him out almost instantly with a strike to the head with a his tail and was finished when Cameron round housed tail whipped him into a wall.
And well from there on we stuck together until Cameron asked me onto our first date, and then a few days later he located his family's old house and asked me to stay with him. My family had no problems with it after he had protected the house from robbers. So here we are living in the mansion of house he own."
When Jasmine finished Cameron began placing bowls on the table and then brought over the pasta and sauce, he also laid out napkins and glasses for drinking. well at least one for Daniel, he and jasmine drank from large bowls that were more accessible for a dragon's mouths.
Daniel was surprised by the skill that Cameron cooked, the food was by far better than his mother. Who Daniel held as the best cook he knew, and by god she was good but this, this was heaven in his mouth.
"Oh my god this is good!" Daniel said with a mouth full of food, causing Jasmine to giggle.
"Thank you Daniel" Cameron thanked him happily, a smile on his maw from the complement.
It wasn't long before the three had wiped out the food, Cameron gladly picked up the dishes and cleaned them in the wash basin. While Cameron was cleaning Jasmine took the moment to tell Daniel they would be going to the market.
"Me and Cameron are going to the market to get more food, so you can either hang about here or go for a walk around the city."
Daniel thought the idea of a walk didn't sound like too bad of an idea, "I think I might go for a walk" Daniel said.
"Well don't get lost I don't want to have to hunt you down" Jasmine said with a smile
Daniel decided to get a head start on his walk and hopped up from the table and began making his way to the door, giving a quick farewell to the two before he left.
As Daniel walked he was amazed at how much the building resembled that of Rome and Greece and the fact that it was positioned next to the edge of a coastal cliff made the view all the more extravagant.
Daniel decided to check out one of the market streets, he passed between stalls looking at wares and talking to shopkeepers, well at least the ones that didn't mind talking to a strange creature they had never seen.
Daniel was in an interesting conversation with a shop keeper over a piece of jewelry, when an odd sight caught Daniel's eyes. He watched as three dragons escorted and Small dragoness off away from the crowded the market street, Daniel knew something was up by how much the dragoness was shaking and the look in her eyes.
Daniel said goodbye to the shop keeper and began to follow the path the three dragons had taken, it wasn't long until he came across the entrance to a secluded ally.
"I told you I don't have any money!" he heard the voice of a dragoness, the voice was laced with fear.
"Do you know what will happen if you don't give us the money, I mean a pretty little thing like you would fit right in with my collection" Daniel heard a deep voice growl and he could hear the dragoness whimper.
Daniel rounded the corner unholstering his M9 and keeping it by his side, "Hey you!" Daniel yelled to get the attention of the large green male that was towering over the blue female.
"Yeah you leave the Miss alone" Daniel said walking closer
The dragon turned from the female to look down on what he thought was some little wannabe hero.
"And what will you do if I don't?" The dragon growled
Daniel rubbed the barrel of the M9 against his temple "Ehh... Well... This" and in a flash the gun was leveled with dragon's knees and Daniel shot a round in each of its front legs causing him to fall on his face. Daniel surged forward and planted his foot in the side of the dragon's head knocking it out cold.
The other two dragons were to stunned to act, only until Daniel turned and looked directly at them did they act. The two instantly fled the ally as quickly as they could, leaving the dragoness there shaking in fear at the strange creature.
Daniel looked at the dragoness and gave her a soft smile, "Hey you ok?" he asked
The dragoness nodded shakily, before she went ridged and fell over, passed out from the stress. Daniel sighed and walked over to the dragoness's unconscious form and knelt down next to her. She wasn't much taller than five an half feet and no longer then six. Daniel sighed hoping she wasn't too heavy, he knelt down and scooped her up gently and rested her over his shoulder and began his trek back to the house.
