Jake feared if he told her he was once human & he knew she was too once she'd freak. He feared she'd reject him; so he decided to keep letting her believe he was some normal drake (male dragon) she'd met in this park. It didn't really too much surprise Jake that Mary had used the Chronivac to become a pet anthro dragon (or dragoness in her case) like himself. He had seen her disgust when she looked at herself in her compact mirror & knew she loved animals like himself. He could tell she hated being human like himself. He had always loved dragons & when he got the Chronivac he was overjoyed that he now could be one. As dragons they no longer had to care worried about what was in style, pretending to be a way they weren't to fit in or any of that stupid human crap. Jake knew boys saw Mary as. They saw her only as a sexual conquest. Jake was very disgusted by that. Mary was more then just some lay! Now as dragons they could be their real selves.
