But I DID! I DID see a dragon! In fact, she was playing on the swing set in our side yard! You don't believe me? Well, I figured you wouldn't! So, I took pictures!

| TADDAH! I TOLD you I saw a dragon! |
I certainly was very nervous! I had no idea of knowing if she was the furious-I'll-burn-you-to-a-crisp-sort or if she was a friendly sort! I watched her playing on the swing set for a little while, before I finally got up the courage to peek my head out the door, and finally, into full few on the porch... She stopped swinging, and just watched me, and then can you believe it! She motioned me to play with her! I wasn't about to walk into that trap! Everyone knows that that is a dragon ploy, just so they can eat you! She seemed Sad (my how that dragon could act! I almost started to believe her innocence!), but she started playing again... Well, I admit I was curious... I wanted to get a closer look at her, having never seen a real dragon before! So I took a few steps closer. She didn't seem to mind, and kept right on swinging... When I was within 10 feet of the swing set, I stopped. That was as close as I was going and that was IT! And then it happened. This blur of red and rainbow spikes came towards me so fast, I could only register the colors, before I was pushed backwards...For such a small thing, she sure packed a punch! It took me a minute to register what just happened... And to register the amount of weight on my chest... Slowly I lifted my head every so slightly, and there she was. ON ME! I knew these where my last moments alive, because as I watched her, she opened her mouth (Oh God! I was about to be barbecued!), leannned forward, and (I closed my eyes tight! Expecting to feel the burn and then the teeth) and then....nothing... I peeked through my eyelid... She still had her mouth open, but she was making a gurgly noise, that resembled laughter...I was hallucinating... Or something... Maybe I was just dying and by some grace of God didn't have to watch as the flame came, and feel the pain... But...No...She was still looking at me, and still making that noise... She cocked her head, and then the unexpected came. She LICKED me! She looked straight at me, opened her mouth and licked me! I slowly opeden both of my eyes, and sat up just the teeniest bit... She bounded off of me, and..Wait, what the heck was she DOING? Her body was rippling! And again the gurgle noise came again, and then she flew straight up in the air and right on to the swingset. I slowly ( and I mean VERY slowly!) sat up and and finally stood up. She again motioned for me to play with her... I was very nervous... It was possible that she was friend;y (after all, she hadn't eaten me...) but that could just be a ploy...Some dragons I hear like to play with their food before they eat it... Well, long story short, she kept jumping at me, and she seemed genuinly like she wanted to play... So (against my better judgement I might add) I eventually gave in and and am very glad I did! We played all day, some out side, and then we went inside and played a few games too! (She's really a horrible Don't Break the Ice player) When it was finally time for bed, I decided to let her stay her, as she told me she has no home, and she was so exausted from all of our fun, that she just curled right up and went to sleep!
So if you every see a dragon jumping and playing on a swingset in your side yard, Don't hesitate to play with it! Because you might become the best of buddies <3
