George hid his dragon under his cloak then quickly went home, ran into his room, slammed the door behind him then placed the dragon on his bed. George looked at the baby reptile, which was a brown color with some black and had big black eyes that stared at him.
"What am I supposed to do with you?" George asked then he sat down on the bed.
The baby dragon climbed onto George's lap and fell asleep. George petted its scales and he wondered if it was a boy or a girl.
"Are you a boy dragon?"
The dragon let out a cute little growl that would be fierce if it wasn't a baby.
"Then are you a girl?"
The dragon purred softly. Did this dragon understand what he was saying? Nah, it couldn't be! Could it? Then he heard someone was knocking on his door.
"George!" Coco called out from the other side of the door. "What are you doing in there?"
"Uh, nothing!" George quickly hid the reptile under his pillow. "Come in!"
Coco entered the room. "Why did you run in and slam the door without saying hi?"
"No reason, no reason at all."
"George, you know that you can't keep anything from me." Then Coco saw something move under George's pillow. "What's that?!"
The dragon poked her head out and stared at Coco.
"Don't be scared." George told his Sister.
"Why would I be scared?" Coco walked over to the dragon and petted her. "She's so cute!"
"How did you know that it's a she?"
"A woman always knows. Where did you find her?"
"Roxanne gave her to me."
"Have you named her?"
"Not yet. Promise you won't tell anyone?"
"Of course, I'd never do anything to endanger this cutie."
The dragon rolled onto her back so Coco could rub her white belly.

"Where's George?" Michael asked David after they were done cleaning.
"I don't know. He was in the stables but he's not there anymore, and he was acting kinda weird."
"Weird for George or weird for normal people?" Peter joked.
"Weird for George. He acted like he was hiding something."
"Well," Michael said. "We can ask him about it later, but first we have to find him. We'll split up. Peter, you look around the stable, I'll look around the castle and you David will look around the forest."
They split up to find George, wherever he was.

David looked around the edge of the forest but couldn't find George anywhere.
"Maybe he's at home." David told himself and started to walk away.
"WATCH OUT!!"
David quickly turned around then someone or something ran into him and knocked him over. David slowly sat up and looked at what had hit him. It was a girl with long brown hair and she had something that looked like wings on her back.
"Are you okay?" The girl asked. "I didn't mean to hit you!"
"I'm fine. What is that thing?"
"What? This?" The girl took the wings off of her back. "This is my flying doohickey."
"Your what?"
"I'm trying to build something that will let me fly like a Bird."
"Is that possible?"
"I'm going to make it possible." The girl held out her hand. "I'm Sally Field, how about you?"
"I'm David Jones."
"David Jones? Wait, you're one of those guys who was knighted, right?"
"Yeah, I am."
"It's an honor it crash into you. Uh, I mean, you know."
"Yeah, I know."
