We were allowed to sleep in the next day. It was around ten when I woke to Adelind nuzzling me.

"Good morning my love,she said softly,did you sleep well?"

"Course I did,I replied licking her,you were beside me."

Adelind laughed and nuzzled me again. I lay a wing over her as I stared into her blue eyes. I always liked it when it was just the two of us. I recalled the four weeks we'd spent in the cave that later became our den. The nights we would sneak out to see each other.

"Do you remember,I asked,the times we sunk out to see each other?"

"Course I do,Adelind said softly,we met in the same cave we live in now."Even then we were close."

I laughed. "Remember the first night we met?" "I was shivering because my fire had gone out so y..."

"I put my wing around you and snuggled up to you,Adelind replied placing her head beside mine,"I remember,you were so little."

"I remember trying my luck in unballing and stretching out,and you still got close to me,I remember how warm you were."

"How warm was she",Val asked appearing in the door way,I'd love to know."

I laughed,"Why do you guys eavesdrop on us?"

"Sorry",Val said,"I was just walking by and happen to hear you."

"Nolan want's us outside,Val said,he wants to talk to us."

Adelind and I stood and followed Val outside. When we exited the barracks,the others were outside laying in the grass. Nolan was standing in front of them with a blue dragon at his side,I assumed he was in charge of the dragons at Romeo.

"Listen up humans,Nolan said,I'm a nice,laid back guy,but I will not put up with trouble of any kind,you start trouble,you'll be punished for it." "That goes double for you dragons,Nolan said,keep yourselves clean,your hatchlings under control and everything will be fine. Also,there are some rules that apply only to you guys. One,no flying on missions unless it is absolutely necessary,but you are free to do so around the base. Before you ask,I'd rather have you full of holes and alive,than blown to bits by a SAM turret. Two,keep you hathclings in check,if they start trouble,it's your fault,are we clear?"

"Yes sir,we all answered.

"Very well,Nolan said with a smile,dragons,Nesenth has a few things he needs from you,and then you have the day to explore the base and get used to the layout."

"Nesenth,Nolan said turning to the blue dragon,don't be an ass,you got me?"

Nesenth huffed "Ahh,yes Dad."

"Good,Nolan said patting him on the back,looks like I did raise you right."

Nolan turned to leave and the blue dragon was met with our stares.

"You have a human father,Shadow asked. 'Yeah,Nesenth said,he found me in the woods one night,or so he says. I've been with him for as long as I can remember."

"So what did you need us to do,Nina asked.

"Basic stuff,Nesenth said causally,check ups,baths,shots,stuff like that."

Nesenth walked us down to the wash room. on the way down,I got a good view of the layout of the base. From where I was,I could see six hangers,a small runway,a helo pad,mess hall,hatchery,wash room and the main HQ building,which was about three stories high. I could also make huge 200mm cliff cannons. Nesenth stopped us in front of a large,tan brick building with a steamy feel to it.

"This is the wash room,Nesenth said,go in and get cleaned up,you all smell of dead fish."

For the first time,I noticed there was a fishy smell hanging around me. It was not a good smelling smell. We went inside,we were greeted by a human who sent us to a much larger area made for the dragons. We were then met by several more humans who gave us baths. It was a great feeling. The water running through the crests on my head and down the back of my neck removed a hot,tight feeling I'd had since the Chinook ride. A blue fluid they used had a nice smell to it. The scrubbed in places I coludn't reach,the seams of my chest plates,under and between the spikes on my eyes and around the base of my horns. They sharpened our claws as well as polishing our chest plates and horns. The best part was that they didn't bother to separate us. I guess they figured because we were a family,it did'nt matter. I enjoyed it,and the kids did too. They were rolling around and splashing in the warm water. When it was finally done,we checked our selves over as the humans dried us off. My horns were a deeper brown than they'd ever been and the light reflected off my tan scales,making me glow. I could feel the points on my claws,they were so sharp,it hurt just a little bit. Ace and the kids were in awe.

"Wow,Dusk said,my scales have never been so black."

"I know,Ace said,you look good bro,my claws have never been this sharp either,it hurts a little."

I turned my attention to Adelind,she was staring at me. I looked her over,her chest plates glowed radiantly,as well as her light tan scales. She looked amazing.

"You look amazing",I said nuzzling her.

"You do too",she said nuzzling me back.

When we exited the wash room,Nesenth sent us over to the infirmary. The doctors checked us out one at a time,I went first. I was muzzled and led into a white room,the doctors stood me in he middle of the room,one with a paper in his hands started talking to the others.

"Name:Tyro,Species,Desert Mountain,Sex:Male,Age:29,Weight,5,091 pounds,Mated,yes."

The doctors then started checking me over. After a basic check up,the doctors left and the Vet for the dragon's came in. She had blue eyes,gold hair and stood around 5'11.

"Let's get that nasty thing off of you,she said removing the muzzle and throwing it aside,better?"

I nuzzled her,my way of saying thanks.

"Okay big guy,she said picking up the paper,let's see who you are."

She repeated everything the doctors had said to herself and then looked at me.

"Okay Tyro,she said,I'm going to do a though check of all your vitals,give you any shots if you need them and then send you on your way."

The first thing the vet checked was my sight. She put a thing on my head to cover one eye,then had me follow her hand. The test took around five minutes,the Vet had me look at different patterns,colors and shapes.

"Well your sight is good,she said,now for hearing."

She covered both my eyes and turned out the lights. I perked up my ears and listened as the room fell in to the most complete silence. A soft sound played to my right,I turned my head in the sound's direction. Then,the same sound,just a little quieter,played to my left,I turned my head it it's direction." The test lasted for around a half hour,the sound gradually grew fainter as the test went on,until I coludn't hear it anymore.

"Your hearing is excellent",the vet said.

The next thing she did was check my heart. Using something that was hanging around her neck,she listened to my heart beat. It was interesting to watch.

"Wow,she said,that's a strong steady heart youv'e got. Normally,dragons as large as you have sporadic,unstable beats,but yours is very strong."

She took a few other readings on my heart and then moved on to my breathing. Using the same device she had used to listen to my heart,she listened to my breathing. She paid me basically the same complement for that as she did my heart beat,saying it was strong and stable. She checked a lot of other stuff,like making sure my spine was aligned,that my fire was high,that I had good teeth,basically an exam to make sure everything worked like it was supposed to. After around two hours,she said,

"You did great Tyro,your free to go."

She petted my muzzle and led me out of the infirmary and I was free. It was around noon now and I still had the whole day ahead of me,and I was going to use it.

I spent most of the day poking around the base. The first thing I checked out was the hangars. They were empty except for one,which housed a lone,freaky looking drone. Being a loner suited it perfectly. Another thing I had noticed was that there was a city outside the base. I had poked around the city for a while and was surprised at how friendly the people here were to dragons. I geussed that dragons must be common place here,and it made me happy to know that i didn't have to hide on a military base all the time

The next thing I checked out were the cannons. There were twenty four of them,six on all sides of the base. They were very imposing,sending a message of superiority to anyone who dared to attack. I used the day to learn the layout of the the base,as well as taking a few opportunities to steal meat from unsuspecting humans. Sozenn and I had even gone a few rounds,with me coming out on top as always. As I let Sozenn up,he said

"You and I can't get any cleaner,i always enjoy sparring with you brother,Sozenn laughed,no matter how badly I may lose."

I laughed,"Same here,I'm going to go clean up,and then I'm going to the mess hall,I'm dying for a good slab of meat right about now."

With that,Sozenn and I parted ways. He stayed to spar with Shadow,and I went towards the wash room. When I got there I saw Ace was laying just a few feet from the door,his head between his paws,a vacant,depressed look on his face.

"Something wrong son,I asked stopping.

"I'm just hanging around,he said vacantly.

I could tell something was bothering him.

"Okay,I said,spit it out,what's bothering you?"

'There's this female,Ace began,she looks exactly like me,I want to talk to her,but every time I try,I freeze up."

"You need to just tell her how you feel,I said laying beside him and pulling him close.

"I don't know Dad,Ace replied,I'm a afraid I'll embarrass myself and ruin my chances."

"Where is she,i asked.

"Just inside,she's been hanging around another male."

"Well then you really need to act,I said,come on,I'll help you."

Reluctantly,Ace pulled himself to his feet and we went in the building together. Ace spotted his crush,and then tried to hide behind me.

"No son,I said,don't get scared."

"Excuse me,I said to the female.

Ace was right,she looked exactly like him,color,horn placement,everything. She was just a bit younger than Ace was,I'd say six weeks or so.

"My son has something he'd like to say to you."

I moved my back leg and Ace fearfully approached her. After sometime,he said

"I....I'm Ace."

The female giggled a bit. "I'm Kisenth,she replied,Ace is a nice name."

The scales on Ace's cheeks had taken on a rosy tint. With a stutter,he asked

"I..wanted to know if you'd be...willing to meet tonight?"

"I'd love to,she said giving him a lick on the cheek,is the mess hall okay?"

"Yes,Ace said in a soft voice.

"Great,she said,six o'clock,don't be late."

Kisenth left the room. Ace turned to me,locked his gaze with mine,and then threw himself into my chest,tears streaming down his face. I warped him with my wings as he cried,

"Thanks Dad,he cried,thank you!"

"It's what I'm here for,I said,now go tell your Mom,I'm sure she'll be happy to hear youv'e got a nice dragoness."

Ace ran to tell his Mom the news. I permitted myself a wide smile. I had done my job as a father correctly,and I was proud of myself for it. With Ace's little love trouble out of the way,I turned my mind back to my bath. The humans were surprised to see me again,but gave me a bath all the same. I was purring through the whole thing. After I was dry,It was around six. The sun had set and the lights around the base had come on. I walked towards the mess hall,as I approached it,I saw Ace and Kisenth walking in. I smiled as I quietly followed them in. Locating my friends,I lay beside Adelind.

"So Ace tells me you helped him get a female,Adelind said licking my snout,is that true?"

"Yeah I said,but he was the one who did the talking,I just gave him what he needed to do it."

"Hope it goes somewhere,Rolland said,I wish I had a mate."

"Me too,Mnerloth said,but my Dad is giving the male I've been trying to talk to a hard time and he won't come near me because he's afraid of him."

"Then "Ive done my job",Hunter said pulling his daughter close to him and laughing.

The chef brought us our food,and we began to chow down as we continued to talk. Shadow had a few really good war stories to tell. Rolland had the story of the day Taro went through basic training. I had the story of the day Adelind and I meant,and Ator had a particularly funny story about a rat in his room back at the main HQ that had scared Vanlith white.

"It came out of the woodwork,Ator said,it was the single coolest thing I'd ever seen,it could hold it's own against any dragon it was so big."

Ator continued by saying it had scared Vanlith by hissing at Ator,who then stepped on it.

"When I turned around,Vanlith was pure white." "I coludn't help but laugh. I would have laughed harder,but my side hurts if I laugh too hard." Ator said warping up his story.

Vanlith simply rolled her eyes and licked her mate at his story. After we were done eating,we returned to our barracks,said goodnight to each other and then entered our rooms. Adelind and I had to be quiet entering ours because,Dusk,Helix,Tyson and Kayel were already asleep. We lay down on the bed and I put a wing over Adelind.

She licked me saying"I love you." I licked her back,I love you too."

Adelind situated herself so that she was comfortable and quickly relaxed as sleep took her over. I was almost asleep myself when Ace walked in. He had a smile on his face as he lay down beside me.

"How did it go,I asked closing my eyes.

"Awesome,Ace replied softly,thanks Dad,it means a lot."

I smiled as sleep caught a hold of me.
