\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dragon Rider\u2019s First Date<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The date had finally arrived.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The day for which he had strived.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He was to meet up with Wendy.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

His riding tricks had gotten trendy.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

She zoomed down and landed by his side.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Her hair was messed up from the ride.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cHello Gale.\u201d She said with a smile.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cHi Wendy\u201d He said in awhile.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He was struck silent for awhile by her beauty.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He did remember she was a real cutie.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat have you got planned for the day?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cFollow me. I\u2019ll show you the way.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They went to a high mountain.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Near the top,—– you found them.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

There was a cave up there behind a ledge.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Room for the dragons on the ledge.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The cave was his home away from home.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThis place is safe. Only reached by flight.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cHere I often spend the night.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He had a terrific spread laid out.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cHave some lunch.\u201d He said with doubt.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI would love to.\u201d As she started digging in..<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is quite delicious.\u201d She said with a grin.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThanks, I do cook some.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cYou would be a good catch for someone.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThanks\u201d He said shyly, with a blush.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cSorry, I didn\u2019t want to rush.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They moved on to other things.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Small talk. Getting acquainted. The dragons sing.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Later, he said: \u201cLet\u2019s go for a flight.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cOn that idea, I won\u2019t try to fight.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Soon, they took to the air.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Each showing off, with tricks to spare.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

After awhile, they heard noise below.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

A coach was being robbed. \u201cLet\u2019s go\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They swept down and burned the robbers pants.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They all began to cuss and rant.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Soon, they were subdued and ready for jail.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The wealthy aristocrat began to wail.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThank you. Thank you. I owe you both much.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThat is o.k. We will keep in touch.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWe may need your help sometime.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWe will surely keep you in mind.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

They took to the air and returned to the cave.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

She had agreed with the deal they had made.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Finally, she said \u201cIt\u2019s been a great day.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cVery soon, I will be back this way.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI can hardly wait\u201d Gale said.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

He was dreaming of her when he went to bed.<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
