This is just a random idea. This brewed up when thinking about how much I love my best friend. :3 Dragon is probably a little bit out of character. But, I made him that way on purpose. I want him to seem a little bit wiser. Everyone is six years older this time. I guess that's it. Have fun!
Dragon's POV
She is so enchanting. Her hair like a dozen red roses lit aflame. Her eyes like my skin, green and beautiful. I love her dearly. I mean after all, she is my best friend. Who could not fall in love with their best friend? Especially after all they have done for each other.
She and I went on a trip to find other Dragons about a week ago. I left Kippernia with the expectation of not finding any. She kept my spirits high. She made me believe. When we found them, I cried. I had not cried since I thought Jane was dead after that horrible battle. That was nearly two years ago. That was when I realized I loved her.
They invited me to join the Dragon Brethren, a group of dragon leaders from various places. I was honored of course. They explained all the details; I did not mind any of them. One of them being, I could not disclose their location to anyone.
The one that nearly made me refuse their offer was when I was told I would have to live there with them. I saw Jane's face when they said it. She is white enough as it is, but when they said that, she became whiter than cook. I think I could almost see her heart drop to her toes.
She claimed that she wanted me to be happy, and I truly believe that she does, but do not say you would be happy with losing your best friend. I mean, come on. She begged me to accept. I told them I would think about it. We flew back to Kippernia, silent the whole way.
Jester squirmed excitedly in his seat, receiving odd looks from his friends at the dinner table. He smiled laughing at the faces they made as they sat down. As soon as every one was seated, he leaped from the table.
"I have big news! Huge news actually." he announced.
Everyone leaned forward in theirs seats, their chest nearly soaking in their soup. A large grin spread across his face, stretching ear to ear.
"Come on then!" Jane demanded.
"I was told by the king that in a couple of days, a band of traveling gypsies from Italy will be performing for the king! Here!"
Everyone had a very puzzled look. Jester felt a little put out. "My family members are gypsies, from Italy. I am from Italy. This may be my opportunity to be reunited with my family!"
"Oh Jester! That is fantastic!" Pepper squealed while clapping.
Dragon, who had been sleeping on the battlements, woke with a start at the word "Gypsy."
"Floppy hat. Did you say Gypsies are coming? Here?" Dragons voice was unsteady.
"Yes. I thought you had excellent hearing Dragon." He said jokingly.
"Oh I do, but I just do not like the thought of thieving magic practicing liars invading our Kingdom."
"Dragon!" Jane warned.
"Not all gypsies are like that Dragon. My parents are good people." Jester tried to defend his family.
"Another thing, Dragon. They were invited. They are not invading." Jane came in Jesters defense.
He snorted loudly. "Gypsies are like flies. One comes in, all their friends come along."
"And just what would you know Dragon?" Jester was getting angry. Time seemed to stop when he shouted like that. Rake and Smithy picked at their soup.
"The carrots are very sweet Rake. Have you been using a different compost?" Smithy chuckled nervously.
"Um, yes. Why do not we go talk with Pepper about it?" Rake said meekly.
They rose from their seats quickly.
"No need." Jester stopped them. He stomped off to his room in a huff.
Jane stood up to follow him, but stopped when everyone heard his door slam. Jane turned to Dragon, glaring.
"What?"
"You know good and well what you just did." She slammed back down in her seat.
"Janeā¦"
No response. Dragon let out a pitiful sigh before flying up to the top of Jane's tower.
Smithy and Rake exchanged looks. Jane looked up from her soup. "What?"
"I can see where Jester stands, but I can also see where Dragon stands as well. You should see why he said those things to Jester." Smithy said wisely.
"Dragon had no excuse to say that to Jester."
"That you know of."
Jane sighed in defeat. "All right." She stood up from her seat at the table and walked to her room.
Pepper emerged from the kitchen with a pie. "Where did everyone go?"
Sorry it's so short but I have a huge test that determines a lot of my life tomorrow so I had to get off early. Want to read more? Click that review button below and you'll see more story. And maybe a cookie. :) (No flames please. Constructive criticism is welcome.)
