"Elwin, we finally did it."
*Buuuuuu…..whoooooooo...whooo….whoooo….whooooooo. Who…whoooo…whoooooooooo…wooooooooooo…buuuuuu….whoooo*
"Where's that music coming from?"
*Buuuuuu…..whoooooooo...whooo….whoooo….whooooooo. Who…whoooo…whoooooooooo…wooooooooooo…buuuuuu….whoooo*
"I don't know, but the Dragons seem drawn to it."
"Should we call them away?"
"I think it's too late for that.
*Buuuuuu…..whoooooooo...whooo….whoooo….whooooooo. Who…whoooo…whoooooooooo…wooooooooooo…buuuuuu….whoooo*
Seems all the Dragons have already heard."
"Peter, I think it's broken. Just throw it away."
"No. Everything can get repurposed. I just need to tweak the song a little more."
"Mr. Perfectionist. Always looking. Always seeking. Never happy."
"That's not true. There was a time when I had calm."
"Is that right?"
*BOOM*
"What was that?"
*Shikashikashkia*
"I think a Dragon just landed on our roof."
"You don't hear that everyday.
Shut the music off."
"But."
*BOOM*
"Shut it off.
*Click*
Maybe the music is a Dragon locator. We hate it, but it does draw them out of hiding."
"Yeah. Now we just need to teach them how to talk."
"Or to sign."
"You really think you can teach one to sign?"
"I don't know.
*Click*
"Peter, what are you doing?"
"I had to teach Sign to my sister. Still a little rusty, but...I still know a few signs."
"What's going on in here? I thought I heard a….Peter, step down from that window right now. If you're thinking of running away again, I will lock you downstairs.....where there are no windows."
"L, he is not climbing down. He's climbing up."
"Climbing up?"
*Buuuuuu…..whoooooooo...whooo….whoooo….whooooooo. Who…whoooo…whoooooooooo…wooooooooooo…buuuuuu….whoooo*
"What the?"
"Roooooaaaaaarrrrr!!!!"
"Was that a..."
"Yep, and Peter thinks he can go talk to it."
"Talk...…to it?"
"I wouldn't turn that off."
"Why not? The Music is threatening."
"To you yes, but you turn that off and the Dragon will see Peter as attacking instead of helping. That is not protected in the Treaty."
"Fine.
...But he better be back soon."
"Don't you worry.
If it offers you any consolation, I told him it was a bad idea."
"Oh...very helpful. Thank you."
"You're welcome.
….Hey...…where are you going?"
"To get a Ladder!!!!!"
"I want to come."
"No. I am not risking both of you."
"But!!!"
"The Treaty says 'Play at your own risk, but since none of you have parents that makes me the sole caretaker responsible for you. And what I say goes."
"Understood."
