A/N: Hey. As you know this is the sequel to Christmas Dragons. I'm glad that so many people liked my fic and as I was writing the sixth chapter of it, I was think about school and how it would be different with a dragon so I came up with this fic. Anyways, I hope that you enjoy this fic as much as you did with my other.
Chapter One: Back to School
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BE- The annoying beeping had stopped due to a hand, carefully going over a smaller body and slamming itself down on the small machine. The small body of a Red Eyes Black Dragon looked at the clock and stretched. Why had her human set such an annoying thing anyways? It's not like he was going anywhere. Ever since Christmas, they have gone to his friend's houses and visited. She wrestled with their dragons and made friends with the humans.
She climbed over to her human's neck and nuzzled it, waking him up. She chirped and nuzzled again. Her human sat up and scratched his shaggy blonde hair. "It's morning already?" he asked and looked at the clock. Joey Wheeler snorted at the time and looked at his winged companion. "Alright Niobe, I'm up," he said through a yawn. His friend looked up and chirped.
Joey slowly climbed out of bed and popped his back. He went across his room to his dresser and opened up a couple of drawers and pulled out a plain white t-shirt, a pair of blue jeans and a pair of boxers. He walked to the bathroom across the hall while Niobe curled up again. Day after day, her human took a shower and walked back in his room with wet hair and he would pick her up, walk her to the kitchen, the both of them have breakfast and then go outside and play in the snow. She perked her head up quickly as Joey returned early. His hair was still wet but still, he was earlier than usual. He picked up his bookbag and slung it over his shoulder.
Niobe growled softly as she watched in interest. This was new to her. Joey opened up his closet and pulled out a blue jacket. With a hum, he picked up his sneakers and picked up Niobe. "We're going to school today. Hopefully they'll allow dragons in school," he said and walked to the kitchen to cook some eggs. Niobe looked at her human's wet hair and breathed on it. He didn't complain so she continued until she smelled eggs.
Joey set her plate down and watched as she ate happily before making some eggs for himself. Niobe waited until Joey was finished with his breakfast before he cleaned up. He looked at a clock he had in the kitchen and ran to the living room. He put on his jacket and put on his shoes. Niobe flew to his shoulder and watched as he ran out the door.
He ran down the street and ran to a street corner. It was crowded and many other boys were wearing the same outfit as her human and it was strange to Niobe to see that. With a growl, she nudged Joey's neck. He pet her wing as the light above the street turned green, causing all the people on the corner to walk at once. Joey was looking around the road however to see if he could see his friends. No such luck. Niobe sensed the disappointment and purred softly. Joey walked to a huge building where all of the other boys dressed like him were going. There were girls there too though indifferent outfits. Pink suit tops with big blue bows around the neck and blue miniskirts. There were unfamiliar faces Niobe saw as she looked around.
Joey had gone inside of the building and went into a room where there were containers along a wall. Niobe watched as he replaced his shoes with a pair of slippers from his container. "Joey! Hey Joey!" they heard. Joey turned around and saw Yugi and Tea walk up. Tea's Petite Dragon, Wyrda was curled around her neck while Yugi's Curse of Dragon, Neo was curled up sleeping on the King of Games' Millennium Puzzle.
Joey grinned and Niobe chirped. "Hey guys. Feels weird being back in school, huh?" he asked his friends.
Yugi nodded. "Well it does now because of your wish Joey. Thanks to these dragons, it does feel a little weird. Besides, I'm glad that school's started again. I was getting tired of watching the shop. Grandpa had things to do so he went off for a while and then came back last night. I don't know where he went but I'm happy that I don't have to watch the shop any more," he said with a happy grin.
Tea looked over the students. "Joey, have you seen Duke or Tristan?" she asked looking around. Joey shook his head. "They were supposed to have met us a little while ago at Yugi's place but they never showed," she said showing worry on her face. Wyrda tried to calm her down with soft chirps and nuzzles to the cheek.
Two hands had covered her face and snickering was heard. Tea jumped and turned around to find Tristan and Duke snickering because they scared Tea. "Surprise. We were already here. We decided to wait on you guys today. Sorry Tea," he said with a very sorry look on his face. His dragon, the Spirit Ryu was sticking his head out of Tristan's jacket pocket. Karyu had looked up at his human and chirped. Overhead, a deep bell had rung, making the dragons look up to find the bell.
Tea pet her dragon as she pulled out her schedule. "Let's see. I have Trig. first then Literature. What about you guys?" she asked as she watched them pull out their schedules. So far everyone had one class together, P.E. Yugi groaned, he wasn't the most athletic person in school so this was his worse class.
The dragons looked at the sheets of paper that held strange writing on it and they all separated. Tea went to her class; it wasn't that far, just down the hallway. Wyrda had looked up at her human as the entered a room filled with desks. She tried to hide herself in Tea's hair but no such luck. Tea sat down in a seat that had a posted note telling her that it was her seat. "Great, seating arraignments," Tea sighed. As Tea sat down, Wyrda had climbed on the desk and curled up waiting for something to do.
Tristan raced to his class. He had Shop and it was one of his favorite classes. One, it was easy, two, he knew the teacher very well so he got away with a lot of things. "You're going to like this class as much as me, I guarantee it," he told Karyu as he opened up the classroom door. The teacher greeted him with a warm smile and pet the small dragon's head.
"Tristan, you know your spot. Be sure that your friend doesn't get hurt by anything," the teacher said with a kind but gruff voice. Karyu was starting to like that man.
On the other side of school, Joey and duke ran to their class, Lit. It wasn't Joey's favorite; in fact he slept through it unless he could stay up long enough to get the homework assignment before passing out again. This time it was going to be different; he had Niobe to help him stay awake. The two duelists ran into the room and panted. They ran all that way and they still had five minutes of doing nothing. "Niobe, you're going to help me this semester. If I fall asleep, wake me up in any way possible," he said as he sat down.
Duke sat behind him and grinned. "Anyways possible? I could take that job and just do this," he said and smacked the back of Joey's head. Niobe chirped a laugh as Joey turned around and yelled. This thing called school might not be so bad, if it wasn't for the teacher that is.
An older woman had stood up from her desk carrying a giant dictionary and slammed it down on Joey's desk, causing both boy and dragon to jump. "Mr. Wheeler, Mr. Devilen, this is not a "Let's slap each other" class. This is Literature. I'm warning you early that if I catch either one of you two horse playing around in my class, both of you will receive detention," she said with a sniff. Niobe didn't like her at all. "As for those THINGS around your necks, they had better not disturb anyone or I'll make sure that they never step foot in my class." She stood up taking the dictionary with her and went back to her desk in the front of the room.
Joey turned back to Duke and the two of them spoke until the next bell rang. During that time, more students came in and sat all around the room. Many had dragons while the ones who didn't were petting the scaly covered creatures. "Let's hope the others get to their classes okay without having to deal with this," Duke said, referring to the teacher. Joey nodded and faced front when the teacher cleared her throat. It was going to be a long semester.
Yugi ran to his class, Biology. He had a good reason why. His class was upstairs three floors and down a long hallway. "At least I get exercise," he said through panting. He opened up the door and sat down at a Lab table.
The teacher cleared his throat and silenced the students. "You must make sure that your dragons do not get in the way with your work in this class. I will not be held responsible for any injury they get. Now today we will go into DNA," he started off. Neo looked at the King of Games and thought that it was a good time to sleep.
