"Hey, Kyle. Are you going to be nice today?"

He smiled and nodded but I knew that even he wouldn't know when his impulses would start. He stretched his scaly body on my bed and hopped off. Sometimes I liked him and how much fun his dragon self could be. Other times, I just wished he would go away. I stepped out of bed and followed him to the bathroom. I began to get ready for the day. I was half asleep but I had the routine down.

I walked to the closet to chose my outfit. I heard Kyle grunt. I looked to see him pointing to the shoes.

"No, Kyle, I have to put on my clothes before I put on my shoes."

He pointed at the shoes again, this time with more force.

"Kyle, we talked about this, clothes first." This time I turned to the closet to ignore him, but he started growling about the shoes. I decided to grab the socks and hold them, hoping to appease him and tell him that shoes would be soon but he kept growling.

Next thing I knew, I heard my mom yelling at me.

"Chloe, please stop being lazy and hurry up!"

There were so many noises going on. It hurt my head. I needed to get my clothes on. I needed to eat breakfast. I needed to get my shoes on. I needed to make my bed. Then Kyle hit my head. Over and over again

Despite his efforts, I trudgingly put on my dress, then my socks, and finally my shoes. That's when Kyle stopped hitting me. But man, did my head hurt.

I walked downstairs to see my mom angry at me for being late. She talks about no breakfast but my head blocks her out. I see Kyle smiling at me. Why was he smiling? He pointed to my coat.

"No, Kyle, I have to put my work in my bag first."

And the cycle began again.

Long ago, there existed a female dragon named Serendipity. She was a friendly and benevolent dragon. She loved discovering gold ore by accident in the cave that she lived in.

“I wonder if I’ll find anymore gold ore again today,” said Serendipity looking around the cave with her fire coming out to light up the cave to see in it.

Serendipity found some gold ore. She dug it out. Suddenly, a boy’s voice echoed into the cave.

“Hello? Is anyone in here?” said the 14 year old boy.

“Yes, I’m here. I’m Serendipity the dragon. Please don’t be afraid of me, I’m good,” said Serendipity coming into the light slowly to be seen by the boy.

“Wow! A dragon! Hello! I’m Arthur,” said Arthur.

“I’m pleased to meet you. Want to be my friend?” asked Serendipity.

“Yes! I love dragons!” said Arthur.

“Thank you! Want to go for a ride on my back? I’d like to show you my favorite place,” said Serendipity.

“I got to go back home. My family’s poor and I was suppose to be looking to hunt something,” said Arthur.

“I’ll get you a rabbit. Hold on. I know where they’re at,” said Serendipity.

Serendipity found a large rabbit for Arthur and his family. She gave it to him. It was cooked already and when Arthur took it to his family, everyone was happy.

“Thanks for the rabbit. My family was starving!” said Arthur.

“You’re welcome. I have gold ore. Want some for your family?” said Serendipity.

“Yes please, thank you!” said Arthur taking some gold ore from Serendipity.

Serendipity had to wait to show Arthur her favorite place. Arthur saved his family by giving his parent’s the gold ore. They were overjoyed to get it.

“Well Arthur, are you ready to see my favorite place?” asked Serendipity.

“My family wants to meet you. They’re outside of the cave waiting to meet you,” said Arthur.

“Yes, they may meet me,” said Serendipity merrily.

When Arthur’s parents met Serendipity, they were surprised at how kind and friendly she was. She told them they could have more gold ore and they accepted it. She also offered them a cooked rabbit. Everyone was happy and Arthur’s family were no longer poor. She then showed everyone her favorite place which was a lake that had tons of fish in it. Arthur’s family was also well fed and everyone lived happily ever after.
