"Fine food you have prepared for us, DragonFrog. I didn't know you could cook."
"Just one of my many talents. Stick with me, Kids, and I'll show you many more."
"Good. Coast is clear."
*Creeeeaaaak*
"Huh? What was that?"
"Uhoh."
"Neeeeheeeeeyyyeeeegggghhhh."
"Shh..Shhh…Shh."
"Girls, what's got you spoked? Is someone....THERE!!!!!!!
"DragonFrog, did the Horses see something?"
"No…Erhhmmm…..NO. JUST LOOKING AT THERE SHADOWS AND GOT STARTLED. No need to worry.
Now...who wants to hear a campfire song?"
"I DO…."
"I DO…."
I DO."
"That was close.
You girls be good for DragonFrog, now. Daddy will be back for you soon...I hope.
Whatever Ruby is planning best be good."
"Shouldn't Horseradsish be back by now?"
"Darius, your old man will be fine. I am confident of that."
"How do you know?"
"She doesn't!!!!!!!"
"Horseradish!!!!!!!!!!!
*Oof*
I missed you so much. Tell me everything. How close were you to the Rogues?"
"Rogues?"
"Yeah. Ruby said when a Creature loses himself, they are a Rogue."
"These Kids didn't seem any Roguey to me. In fact they seemed...happy."
"Happy?"
"Almost as if they wanted to be there. Of course, DragonFrog bans the use of saying your name, Ruby; but they haven't given out your name HeadMistress, thankfully."
"But they have given out my heart."
"What was that?"
"Nothing. What were they doing?"
"Frog was having them practice their transformations a few more times, and then he cooked all the food you gave him. Finally, he sat down around the campfire with all the kids and started singing Campfire songs."
"Campfire songs?"
"Guess he really does have them. What's next; they're eating out of his hands?"
"Actually, they're eating out of his plates, and from the looks of it, they all wanted more.
….Lots more."
"I must be Herring things."
"Ruby, once you make yourself known, they will come. Where are you going? Don't leave on us."
"I'm not leaving. I'm...checking on others. I sent the Dragon back to Dropfarra, on the opposite side. He will be back and angrier than ever; so when he gets here tomorrow, that will be our sign to attack. You all ready?"
"Why don't we attack tonight?"
*Zroom*
"BUT WE STILL DON'T EVEN KNOW THE PLAN."
