Chapter 1041 - Edwin Edwards

"Well thank you, DragonFrog.

Lolli, you can call off the Patrol. I am going home."

"Look, the Winds are receding. Somebody must have found Jacklyn."

"But who?"

"Who should I tell the people to thank on your return, Jacklyn?"

"It's DragonFrog."

"Dragonfrog?"

"Dragonfrog!!!!!!"

"Lolli, don't lie to me."

"Robots have no reason to lie. So, are you going to congratulate him, or are you going to blow him out of the sky? He never seems to die right."

"Maybe he won't have to die at all."

*BOOF*

"Queen Elwin, I believe this belongs to you."

"Thanks Dragonfrog. How may I best repay you for your kindness? I have nothing you need, nor anything you have besides your old Lab. If you want, I'd be happy to give it back to you. As well as your Bakery. Saving Girls as fast as you bake cakes. Your Jasmine would be proud."

"I have no Jasmine. I have no mom. Nor do I have any of the things you refer to, so why are you associating them with me?"

"Uhhhh...I....."

"Dragons must have reborn him as their own. Taken care of his memories when they put him back in the egg."

"Is something wrong? Are you not happy with me? You are talking behind my back."

*Knock, Knock, Knock*

"I heard Jacklyn had been saved, and we wanted to see for ourselves just to...…..DragonFrog!!!!!"

"Woo, woo; Kitty, back off. Cool your claws. He knows not who he is."

"That's impossible. He knows exactly who he is and what he has done. He cannot undo."

"The Dragons have done it  for him. He wanted to be one of them, and now he has his wish. Finally accepted amongst both races."

"Then who does he fight for? Who is his family?"

"You....Kitty, are my family. We may not have been born together, but Elwin is right. We were all born in a lab; just not Jasmines, but Upfronts."

"Oh, no. I am not calling him Cousin Dafunk. Their is no way."

"Would you rather call him Deathly Fool?"

"Cousin Dafunk is fine. 

As the last remaining living member of Upfront, we have to look up to somebody. Sorry for the Jumpscare. Once you realized you couldn't take your family with you to see the Dragons, you saw them yourself."

"Even if you did leave us without an adult."

"Who said anything about leaving you?"

"Theresa?"

"As in...…Cousin Theresa?"

"See Jacklyn. I believe you are an amazing leader to replace Ruby. Even without trying, you just ended another Feud, by acting as the pillar that brought them together."

"I.....

*Scratch….scratch*

Still have no idea what's going on, but thanks...….I think."

"Lolli, you can call the others back. We got her."

"Thanks, but...…I already recalled them because of Jacklyn telling me."

"Always one step ahead, Jack."

"I'm still lost."

"Then let's make you found. If you don't want to be the Leader anymore, I won't send you back. Bus is here to take you instead. I called your girl. She's outside."

*Beep, Beep*

"YOU READY?"

"Give me a minute.

What are you doing here?"

"Coach is worried about you, as we all are."

"Then why only you?"

"Others wanted to come, but….."

"I know. It's not all about me."

"I was going to use the day-old excuse of 'I am busy,' but your excuse works as well. Plus, only I know where you live."

"But I.....am not where I live."

"So I went to where you did."

"You truly do care."

"I'm not just a driver, Jacklyn. I am your friend, and promised you I always would be. Coach wanted to make sure the extra practice you were taking was worth it.....as well as how you were."

"Of course."

"I promised him I would come back to you;  for although a friend, I am first and foremost a driver, and a Driver is not a driver if there are no passengers."

"But....I may have told him I would bring you home, just not….which you."

"Huh?"

"If you're going to be replacing Ruby, you're not exactly laid out in Gold. Let's just say your Mentors really do care about you, and the reason why they were here in the first place wasn't after….but before."

"What…do you mean?"

"Jacklyn, good to see you again, and I am glad you are ok. How did you sleep?"

"Rooaaaaaaaaaarroaaaaarrrr."

"I think that means she is still tired."

"A few running exercises should do just the trick."

"Let's just say....when two forces combine, they create Magic. Involving a Bear, perfectly timed photos, and you…. Now, when Coach looks at the tapes, he's going to think that I truly did drive here and pick you up; since whelp...here I am."

"But why?"

"To say Congratulations, Kid. You can't go forward if you are always looking backward, and I know.....you will fly very far forwards."
