So I went to music camp bringing my egg with me hoping against hope that it wouldn't hatch. That would be…soooo bad. I had a bit of an awkward first day, as I didn't know anyone and nobody knew me. I spent the first part of rec. period reading and sitting awkwardly out of place ness. Then for the rest of it I went back to my cabin(number14!!) and instantly started talking frantically with some girls in my room who were Harry Potter fans. Two of them were whacko just like me and loved Ron or Rupert Grint. One of them generally liked red-haired guys. They found a poster of Ron, Hermione, and Harry(Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, and Daniel Radcliffe…just to clarify that…but let's call them by the fictional names to be less realistic:D) and went searching through all the Ron pictures they could find and taped them all over Harry and Hermione. It was quite amusing. I had an awesome evening as I had just made two good friends – Maria and Petra – and the evening program that night was a bonfire. Weird songs were sung that I am not even going to try to type out. I made sure to hide my eggtastic treasure under my sleeping bag…it was the best I could do okay?? And continued with my week playing my jazz on my trumpet. Crazy Olympics Night came and they really did have the most creative ideas! You had to put Vaseline on your face and try to pick up as many cotton balls on the floor as possible! Then you had to lie down on the floor while your partner tried to aim a whipped cream topped marshmallow into your mouth! Whacky things like that! Things like these allowed me to stop worrying about my dragon and I was able to relax more. Towards the end of the week everyone performed for friends and we had an NMC(national music camp) Idol! People sang/rapped/played instrument/sang rapped AND played instruments, and this one girl danced! Then there was this awesome dude who played the ukulele! He was so cool! He wrote this song about girls and how he likes them but it wasn't cheesy it was very humorous. That was the best part of the night. Oh and of course bothering this guy who sat beside me. I had all my classes with him and he was just generally fun to annoy 'cause he got really mad and threw the smarty box out the window. …sniffle…. Anyways then on the last day there was a show for all family nesses and everyone performed. I had nervously placed my treasure into my duffle bag with extra sheets overtop. I had to resist the urge to run to my cabin and check up on it a hundred times that day. But the day was nearly over and I had to return home. I was oober exhausted and depressed about leaving so I just fell asleep right after eating my mars bar which my awesome mommy bought me. At home that night I realized that I forgot my cell phone at the camp, you see, they had you put it in an envelope and bring it to the office 'cause they were forbidden. Something about having to not talk to the outside world. Teehee. Finished unpacking, I sat around thinking back on the week, hoping that I one day will be able to go back to the bestest camp ever. CLUNK!
"La!", I yelled at the sudden noise and fall off my bed. CLANK! I looked around frantically. Could this be…OHMIGOSH IT IS! I started jumping around and clutching my egg gently and put it down on a pillow. The shell was indeed cracking and the pale green gave off a brilliant, vibrant glow. One piece of shell came away, then another. And then I saw a small head poke out of the hole and peek around curiously. The small creature wiggled out of the remainder of its home and shook its small wings and frail looking body. I looked down at it with a mixture of admiration and wonder. Then I began to squeal. This thing was so cute I couldn't stay still so I grabbed my dresser and flung it sideways, everything flying off it. I bit my knuckles until they almost bled and began jumping up and down. The creature looked up at me with its head tilted and looked like it actually rolled its eyes. Then I could resist the urge to touch it no longer. As my finger made contact with its soft forehead a bright light blinded me and I felt really strange inside – like a bunch of electricity was flowing through me. I collapsed onto my bed and hoped it would end soon. When it did, I sat up panting, and looked down at my new companion. Then something hit me. You really cut it close there, little buddy…if this had happened a few hours sooner... I thought to myself. The baby dragon yawned and crawled to me, put his head on my lap and went to sleep.
