"Plans change."
"Horseradish, what are you doing here?"
"And why is there so much food in your Cart? Riding more Children around?"
"No time for jokes sadly, Darius. This food is for Ruby's Dragon. We need to pull the two apart before Ruby realizes she is defending the wrong side."
"How do you propose we do that?"
"I need to get the Dragon to chase me. Ruby will jump off, I'll duck low in the passenger seat, and then when he drops me off, I'll get out and look around."
"Too dangerous. It was treacherous before, but it is straight suicide now. What if Dragon dumps you in the heart of his camp, or calls all the Kids around, then dumps? They won't be able to differentiate you from other food…for you are food are you not?"
"Just steer the Dragon, and herd the other."
"On it.
Come on, Peggy, fly."
"Look out, Girl."
*Boooffffff*
"Hang on, Ruby. I'm coming."
"Vines of intertwine, bind his self and send him to sleep."
*Phuueeeeem…..Bluraaaaacccccch.*
"Caught you, Ruby."
"And I caught the Kids, Dragon."
"I see, but who will your Dragon catch?"
"Faster, Faster, Faster. He's gaining on us."
*Phuuuuueeeeem...Phueeeeeem....Phueeeeeem*
"Almost there, just a little more. Just a littllleee….."
*Clomp*
"Uhoh. Here we go."
*Phueeeeem....Phueeeemmm…..Phueeeemmmm*
".........Well, that could've gone better. There you go, Ruby."
"Thanks, but at least Radish is in."
"Literally."
"Let's just hope my dragon gets out of range before the Kids, Dragon can get out of his entanglement of slumber."
"There you are, Father."
*BOOM*
"And you brought lunch.
Heard you had a run in with the Kids, Dragon. Next time, try not to fight back. You don't want to lose your children again, I hope.
Oh, and don't you dare start that with me. I don't care if he struck first, you shouldn't have stricken second...or third...or fourth…..or even fifth. Look at these Kids. It's your doing, but I forgive you since you have brought food."
"Please don't come around this side, please don't come around this side."
*Creak….Creakk….creaaak.*
"Huuuu…Phuuuewwwww."
"......Fine assortment of food you brought. Where'd you get it? Couldn't find it in any of these woods."
"Good, cause it will be your last, you filthy frog."
"Yup….yup…..yup....gup…..gup….guppp...."
*Zreeeerern.*
"You need to work harder on your transformations. I couldn't tell if you were a dog barking fierocously, or a puppy yipping.
..........Take a break everyone. Food is here."
