"Back so soon?"
"Turns out filming on location isn't as easy as it seems."
"Wish you would've gone with a green screen?"
"Elwin, the screen wasn't the problem.
…..The Kids got scared. Said something was watching them."
"There is nothing in the Wastelands. Nothing worth protecting, nothing worth mentioning. Only animals, and no humans. This is why I think you should have gone to a Museum instead of on site seeing."
"Ah, you don't believe that stuff."
"What did they profess to see?"
"It wasn't human, Elwin."
"Nor was it an animal.
If it was, it would have atatcked us, but it felt more watching us to gain information. Nothing more."
"You sure it wasn't a ghost?"
"Why don't you believe us? This is nothing to laugh at."
"I wasn't laughing, I was asking."
*Gulp*
"Uhhhhhh…..Maybe Elwin is right. For everyones safety we should take a trip to a Museum."
"Ugggghhhhhh.
But I want to go back down."
"Into danger?"
"As long as you're there, we are safe."
"I….."
"Why can't we go to Dropfarras museum if we have to?"
"Ummm."
"Kids, Parents....Guardians; I thank you all for letting us watch over you and for reliving memories with us."
"But…"
"I have a problem that could use your help."
"Royal Mission from the Queen? Who all do you need?"
"Actually...…
*Wink*
I could use all of you."
"Where is Rosalin? You always have your pet Dragon on your shoulder wherever you go."
"That's the Mission. She went missing."
"Huh!!!!"
"Huh!!!!"
"Noooooooooooo."
"Yes."
"But…..bu….how? Why? When? Where?"
"If I knew where, I wouldn't be here."
"Why can't you have Ruby help you…..or Darius?"
"Me?"
"She's....."
"Of no use. Rosalin may be small, but she has started to use her wings and recently discovered her powers. Thankfully not teleportation, or shrinking; but invisbality. She has stopped answering my calls and will no longer sit for food. I fear the call was too good for her and one of the Bigger Dragons picked her up thinking she was theirs. By the time they realize their mistake, it could be too late. Rosalin would be too far away from home and since she is having trouble flying, it could be a while."
"Don't worry, Elwin. We will bring your Rosalin home if it's the last thing we do."
"To be honest, I was going to ask Jacklyn, but even she is still in experimental."
"Jacklyn?"
"As long as it walks, crawls, and is in the third dimension, Ruby can track it; but only Jacklyn can track something that is invisible; as long as it breathes."
"If it breathes it bleeds."
"Exactly.
She could be anywhere by now, so please….hurry."
"We won't let you down. That is our promise."
"I thank you, and will help any way I can."
*Click*
*Click*
"Could you start off by answering some questions?"
"Of course, Detectives Kris and Jack. Anything you need."
"You said she has a longing to one day fly with the other Dragons."
"Yes."
"Has there been any tension at home that has helped motivate her?"
"You saying I am a bad parent?"
"No, no, no. That's not what I meant. I meant.....has their been any changes that would force her to reconsider who she is staying with?"
"Between me and Kain, we do our best to feed her, bathe her and give her all the attention she deserves, but I would be lying if I said being a Queen makes the distance a whole lot easier."
"I'm sorry. Distance?"
"Yes, Kris.
I would love to just hang out with her all day if I could, but as a human, I can only do so much for her. She's.....*sniff....she's…."
*Vuarrrruuuarruuuuvrrooom*
"Here, have a Kleenex."
"Thank you."
*Bluaaaaaarrrrffff*
"Elwin, we just have one final question before we go.
Can Dragons be controlled by Lolli?"
"Rosalin would never leave my side, and that's final."
