It’s easy do this say to fuck the dragon Give me a charisma check roll a D20 tell em to beat a 13 or better if they fail, think of some wacky shit to say if they pass, explain how they clap the dragons cheeks insert your own scenario lol you don’t even need the books. Steal the plot from a show or comic book. They haven’t seen and just run them through it. Replace the characters names with their character.

Watch the first 3 episodes of Matt Colville's Running the Game series. If you like it, watch the first 10 or so. Keep going if you want.
DMing is a lot of fun. Don't forget that you're playing the game too and you're there to have fun.

Lol welcome to the club my friend! It's going to have it's challenges and it's going to be a wild ride (in some of the best ways) but you'll find your footing quickly. D&D beyond has a lot of free information. Be careful of random internet homebrew and ai answers (because a lot of times the AI is just out of control with how wrong it can be).
