This is My Second Day Job... [Jim]

[audrey]

[Bleh wasn't sure how to start this DX, if you want me to change it up I can]

It was around noon, the sun was high in the sky and the ranch owned by Elisa and Tulio was brimming with life. .... Not that Audrey cared much. Really she would rather be doing something along the lines of creating the world's newest model of cars, Not feeding the pet dragon! Well she couldn't be that aloof, truthfully the kid has it hard being turned into a dragon must make for more awkward teenage years..

Than again Audrey is a teenager too... Giving a annoyed sigh she began carrying a crate full of an assortment of foods, hamburgers, steaks, ham, some fruits but mostly meat. Really she wasn't sure WHAT dragons eat! Let alone that they EXISTED so she basically raided a supermarket and bought a bunch of meat and cooked it up threw some random fruits from the house' table and put them in crate.

Walking through the fields she eventually came upon the barn which was Jim's temporary "home" looking in the dark entrance she hoisted the crate up and walked in. "Yo! Dragon Boy! I got some food for ya!" She looked around hoping to spot the dragon, though how hard was it to spot a gigantic winged lizard?

[Jim Hawkins]

He was, admittedly, being lazy. There really wasn't much to do, or anywhere to go... He was sure he'd scare everyone else who caught sight of him, and it was unknown to him if Maleficent was looking for him or not... Jim cringed a little, fearfully shutting his eyes against the memories.

The young dragon rolled over onto his back, up on the barn's loft. It was a wonder that the simple wooden floor didn't collapse under him, but Will had once mentioned to Jim that he was unusually light for his size... It reminded Jim of the gigantic manta-birds that flew around the docks back on the spaceport. Though they were virtually boneless, the few they did possess were lightweight and hollow. The teenage dragon wondered if his bones were the same.

A sigh rumbled in his throat, his wings stretching out against the floor with his legs in the air. He was close to napping, but a a voice from below roused him awake.

Jim rolled over and shifted to the edge of the loft, peering down at the newcomer. He didn't know the voice, and it was an unusual one at that, laced with a sharp accent. He snaked his head over the edge and craned his long neck down at her, regarding her with mild blue eyes. He was a bit surprised to find her not much older than him, still a teenager. She was rather pretty in a tomboyish way, and the fact that she had food was another bonus.

Jim rumbled a greeting in his throat, careful not to make any sudden movements. The dragon didn't want to scare her, though she gave an air of toughness.

[~Audrey Ramirez~]

<Continuing this plot. It was started by Chihiro. >

"Vaca santa...." <"Holy cow."> Audrey whispered to herself as she laid eyes on the teenage dragon in the loft above her. Sure, she obviously knew there was a dragon living in the barn, but there was a huge difference between knowing there was one and actually seeing it.

"Him." Audrey mentally corrected herself. He had the soul of a human inside.

"So, you're Jim, huh?" Audrey said. She had been told the dragon couldn't speak, but questions where he could either shake or nod his head seemed okay. "I'm Audrey."

The Latino set the crate of food down on the floor, still unable to take her gaze from Jim. He was... oddly beautiful, in a way. His green scales shimmered in the light, and she could see a massive looking wing, as black as midnight. What struck her the most however, was his eyes. He had amazing blue eyes, as blue as the waters she had seen back in Atlantis.

"Well, it's your lunch." Audrey teased as she hoisted herself to sit on one of the bales of hay. "Don't feel like ya hafta wait for an invitation."
