Hahahahaha What the heck?! I was NOT expecting a komodo dragon, of all things! How in the world... Why in the world do... What?! Haha~

And we finally see why Drake and James actually want to go out with her! Even JJ fell for her acting coy and lightened up on her! But geez, what a scene. I didn't think it would escalate to the point that the SWAT team would come busting in!

Hiya Miki, thanks for commenting! I'm glad I managed to surprise someone with the Komodo dragon. In the final chapter, JJ and everyone else will find out why it was at the restaurant.

JJ was just so relieved that Lily didn't seem to be interested in Drake anymore that a large part of his antipathy toward her dissipated. He doesn't really care what happens to James.

Flank has so many guns pointed at him already, that what's a SWAT team or two? He's going to be front page news and there will be an LEO and media circus.

Oh! That was the other thing! So his name is actually Flank? Because it was only Lily who was calling him that, I thought that she was mispronouncing the name Frank! I was surprised later when it turned out she wasn't mispronouncing it after all- His name really is Flank. What an unusual name!

More about Flank's name in the next chapter!

Woah, it's indeed a real dragon! Now that was an unexpected plot twist! What the hell is that beast doing there? (Okay nothing against the dragon, it isn't its fault that it is in the restaurant, but rather the fault of its owners!)

Now I wonder if Lily is telling the truth. Somehow I doubt it. Anyways, I wholeheartedly agree with JJ: Drake should definitely break up with her! That girl is unpredictable!

By the way: gotta love Bikky for saving the rabbit! I almost thought it was about to get killed!

[brit_columbia]

Yes, I am very pleased with Bikky for saving the rabbit! He would have saved it for its own sake, but his rescue had the additional bonus of making Carol think he's a hero.

Drake never breaks up with his women-- it's always the other way around. He already suspects he's about to get his marching orders.

I guessed snake. Close enough.
I'm so dumb though. Hellooo! The title, Dragon Lady. "Dragon" Lady. Goddamnit. *facepalms*

[brit_columbia]

Heh, another 'gotcha' for me! I figured everyone would guess it was a dragon, but it seems that all three people who commented were surprised.

A big snake would have been really bad, though. I probably would have freaked myself out just writing about one.
Thanks for commenting!

Are these people INSANE? Komodo dragons regularly attack and kill people in southeast asia! I'm amazed that nobody was bitten even once on the knee.

Don't worry, Peacewish! We'll learn more about Flank in the next chapter. He's not terribly wild.
