Hey guys and gals, thegamersdragon here as usual, and thank you SO MUCH for how you're revewing the story! Every comment and suggestion you make helps me to write more and longer chapters. So as some of you know, I just put my first story, Starbaby, on hiatus. DO NOT WORRY, it isn't permanent (I hope). I have been really busy and I also don't know what else to add to it, but I will continue it when I get some ideas. I'm also sorry that I haven't updated this fic for a bit (like I said before, I'm pretty busy). But anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this next chapter so yeah. (Also, some people say I apologize too much, but I'm half Canadian stereotype so yeah, sorry)

As Jack was explaining to Sunny what a computer is, there was a low murmur happening at the pile as two more of the dragonets woke up. "Ugh, why do I feel like I've been slammed by Clay again?" Peril asked. "Wasn't me this time, and I feel that way as well." Clay responded. As Clay decided to intertwine his tail with Peril's, he realized something. He couldn't feel his tail. His eyes shot open and he looked around, realizing he was in a strange room, and standing in front of him were two very large scavengers.

"Oh, I get it now, I ate too many of those weird fruits in the jungle again, didn't I?" Clay asked, "I'll just close my eyes again and hopefully I'll wake up." As he slowly closed his eyes again, one of the large scavengers went down and softly hit him on the head. "Clay, don't go back to sleep, this isn't some weird dream. Something actually did happen to us. Remember, we feel into that weird portal?" Sunny said.

Clay's eyes opened up again and stared questionably at the blond scavenger. "Sunny, is that you?" Clay asked. "Yes, it's me, and if you think this is weird, you might want to look at yourself." Sunny suggested. Clay did as he was told and looked at himself, and was quite puzzled at what exactly he was seeing. As he looked over himself, Clay realized that he was also a scavenger. "Um, are you sure that this isn't a dream?" Clay asked questionably.

"Clay, what are you talking abo..." Peril didn't even finish as she opened her eyes and looked around. Just like Clay, she was quite puzzled at what she was seeing. She then looked down at her, as she had heard, hands, and just stared at them, while Sunny was explaining to Clay what she thought was happening.

"Also, this is Jack, he's the scavenger, or human as they call themselfs, that we luckily appeared in front of." Sunny explained, "He says that he is willing to help us until we can find a way back, right Jack?" Sunny asked. But as she looked over, she saw that Jack looked quite concerned. "Hm? Jack, what's wrong?" Sunny asked. Jack just stayed in the same concerned look as he said, "Something, appears to be wrong with, if I guessed correctly, Peril."

All three heads turned and saw that not only Peril was awake, but was staring shockingly at her hands. "Peril, are you okay?" Clay asked, concerned. "I'm...I'm not burning anything..." And with that she hugged Clay while crying tears of joy into his shoulder.

After a few minutes, Peril calmed down. After that Jack started to explain to both her and Clay what was happening (or at least what we thought at the moment). About after five minutes after explaining and then being bombarded by questions, mainly by Clay of the different foods Jack has around, Jack heard a light groan over where the other currently unconscious dragonets were. He looked over and saw the one he assumed was Tsunami rolling onto her belly, looking like she was about to get up.

"Ugh, what did I fight to wake up being this sore?" Jack heard Tsunami groan. Her eyes fluttered open, and for half a second looked lazily up at Jack. But not even a full second of the two staring at each other, Tsunami's eyes shot open as she suddenly burst upward. "A...a giant scaveng...AGH!" She had started to speak, but not having time to adjust (or even realize she had changed) had completely put her off balance and fell right on top of the one suspected of being Riptide. "Oof! What do you think you're doing Tsunami?" Riptide groaned, but Tsunami didn't hear him because she was looking at her hands.

"I'm... a scavenger?" Tsunami asked, looking at her hands. Suddenly, she pointed at Jack with a face full of rage. "You! I don't know how you scavengers did it, but I'll kill you if you don't change me back!" And with that she suddenly got up (Jack was too scared at the moment to ponder how she already worked out her balance), and charged straight at Jack, fist ready to punch him. But at the last second, Jack easily sidestepped out of the way, and Tsunami missed and ended up tripping over a chair that was behind him. "What the... aahg!" Tsunami cried out. "Um, if you would please calm down and give me a minute to explain..." Jack started to say. "I'm not even going to ask how I can understand you." Tsunami growled, "But I'm so going to kill you for that." And with that she got up, and with death in her eyes, charged Jack again.

"TSUNAMI WAIT!" Sunny cried out. "What? Sunny...agh!" And with the sudden confusion, Tsunami tripped again. "Ugh, okay, can someone please explain what exactly is happening!?" Tsunami cried out as she slowly got up again. "Well, that's what this scavenger was trying to explain before you attacked him." Riptide said while currently sitting down in one of the chairs (Jack still doesn't know exactly when he got there, but he figured best not to think about it). "See, even Riptide agrees that you get too hostile at time Tsunami." Sunny said. "Enough! Can someone please tell me why we're all scavengers and who this guy is?"

And with that Jack (and the dragonets) explained what was happening.

After an explanation, the group was sitting and waiting for the other four dragonets to wake up. "I so bet that Glory is going to freak when she wakes up." Tsunami said. "I hope not. Last thing I need is to have my life threatened by someone who has an actual chance of hurting me." Jack said. Riptide stared wide eyed at Jack, Clay and Peril giving each other worried glances, and Sunny hiding a giggle, while Tsunami stared menacingly at Jack. "You want to fight me or something, because I will do it properly this time!" Tsunami said as she suddenly got up. "Relax, I'm just joking with you. Besides, human fighting is way different than dragon fighting, so there is no actual reason for you too be angry. If I did upset you, then I am sorry." Jack said.

"Ugh, whatever, conversation is still better then silence while waiting for these four to get up." Tsunami grumbled as she sat back down. Suddenly, there was a murmur coming from who Jack suspected of being Glory. "Wait, everyone, I think the one that is Glory is waking up." Jack said. "I've been awake, yes I'm Glory, and I would please like an explanation as to what is happening?" Glory asked while, slowly but surely, sitting up. Jack was slightly surprised, but shrugged it off. "Well okay, so from what I've gathered so far..." Jack was starting to say, but then Tsunami started freaking out again. "What!? Aren't you freaking out or something? Why are you calm even now!?" Tsunami started yelling. "Because, from what I heard just before getting up, that's what you did, and that didn't seem to work out well, so I'm trying a more calm approach." Glory explained. Tsunami just started grumbling to herself while sitting down again.

"I take it something unexpected must have happened for everyone to be talking this much." groaned the one Jack suspected of being Deathbringer. He then opened his eyes, looked around at everyone, looked at himself, and then sighed deeply. "What do you know, I was right," Deathbringer said as he got up, " but since it doesn't seem Glory is in trouble, I think everything is fine." "Oh will you knock it off with the body guard act already, we're kind of trying to figure out what just happened to us." Glory snapped at him.

Jack rolled his eyes. Thus far, these dragonets had acted exactly as they had in the story he read. But that made him wonder, were they created from the books? Or were the books created because of their adventures (if that made any sense). It was then at that moment that Jack realized everyone was looking at him.

"Oh, I'm sorry, was I asked something? Sometimes my brain just wonders, so can you repeat the question?" Jack said. Tsunami rolled her eyes and muttered "scavengers" under her breath. "We were just wondering if we could get and explanation for what is going on." Glory said. Jack sighed. "Okay, I really don't mean to be rude, but I have already explained this four times in the last..." Jack checked his phone, " four hours, huh, so either someone else could explain it or we could wait for who I am now almost certain of being Starflight and Fatespeaker to wake up. Either way, I'm going to go get some water." Jack explained."Don't worry Glory, I was the first one awake so I'll explain what's happening." Sunny said. As Jack walked past her he whispered "thank you", in which case Sunny smiled.

As Jack got some water, a few questions came into head. Where were they going to sleep? What were they going to eat (especially with clay?) His family only left him enough money to survive plus a bit extra, but definitely not enough for nine other people. Jack sighed. He was only fourteen, and the only job that he once did get paid little and he got so busy he wasn't able to keep it. And there was no way they could get jobs. By the look of it, they were all around his age, and had no idea of what the world was like or any of the things in it, especially technology (He had to spend half an hour explaining to Sunny what a phone was, and Clay what a refrigerator was.

Jack knew one thing though, he definitely couldn't kick them out. Just like the problems with the jobs, they had no idea what the world was like, and sending them into the unknown like that would most likely kill them. Or worse. It was then that Jack had a lightbulb above his head (not literally, that would just mean all physics broke). He ran down to his basement and to his safe. He quickly got his key from around his neck and opened it up. He stared at it, and then sighed.

It was the cash he had been saving since he was around seven. Originally, due to his small mind, he was planning on saving up enough to go to the moon. But as the years went by, we changed his reasons. The next big game release to some weird event he didn't even care about any more. But he had never spent it. He guessed his internal mind was planning to use it and emergency, and what do you know, he was right not to use it. Luckily, over the years, he had collected enough to probably host a large family for two years. So that problem was now solved, but there was still one other.

"Where will they sleep?" Jack asked himself. He went over his house to himself. Since his family was gone, that left two beds and two fold-out couches. Jack sighed to himself. Even if they doubled up in their groups, that still meant there wouldn't be a place for Sunny to sleep. But then, another lightbulb appeared (don't worry, they're the eco-friendly ones).

"So, there are billions of hyper-intelligent scavengers in this world?" Glory asked. Yep, that pretty much sums it up." Sunny replied. "So what about the dragons?" Deathbringer asked. "Yeah, now that I think of it, Jack never told us about the dragons of this world." Tsunami said. "Huh, I guess we'll just have to ask him when he gets back." Sunny replied.

And at that, Jack entered the room, looking much relieved. "Hey Jack," Sunny started, "You never did tell us about the dragons of this world. What are they like?" And at this, Jack suddenly tensed up, getting raised eyebrows from Tsunami and Glory. "Um, well you see..." And at this moment, Jack was praying for a miracle. Luckily, one was delivered as a small groan was coming from the other side of the room. "Oh, look, it seems like the last two are finally waking up, you better go explain things to them and keep them calm." At this, they all looked at him strangely as they went over, even Sunny looking a bit worried for him.

Jack sighed as they all went over. Part of him wanted to tell them the truth, that dragons don't exist in his world, but he was afraid of what would happen if they knew. Of course, while thinking this, Starflight and Fatespeaker were currently freaking out, just like the others had, with Starflight trying to explain it scientifically. Jack then thought to himself, with pretty much every tv show and book he had ever read told him never keep secrets like this long, or it will just end up hurting them more when they do find out.

Luckily, things had died down with the last two, and now Starflight was examining everything in Jack's room while Fatespeaker was still trying to stand up. "And over there is Jack, the human, not scavenger as I told you, who is luckily going to try and help us. He can explain more to you what is going on then I can." Sunny said to Starflight and Fatespeaker, who both looked towards them. Well, he thought to himself, time for one more explanation of what is happening.

"And that's all we really know so far." Jack finished explaining. Fatespeaker still looked slightly confused, but Starflight was nodding. "I think somehow the weird portal in our world was somehow a gateway to your world." Starflight explained. "There are still several questions like where did the portal come from, and why it was connected to your computer, as you call it." He the looked up hopefully. "I'm wondering though, what is the science like here? It seems that sca, I mean humans are much more developed then even us dragons in our world. Are there any scro, I mean books, you have that talks about your current developments?" Jack hid a laugh. A part of him expected this, so he got up and grabbed his Science and Technology textbooks from his school. "Here you go, if what Sunny told me is true, you should still be able to read them." Luckily, when they went through the portal, their language changed with them. Starflight instantly started reading. That should keep him busy for a few hours, Jack thought.

"So Jack, you never did tell us about the dragons of this world. Do you think you can explain that now that we are all awake?" Glory asked. They all stared at him, with even Starflight looking up from the textbooks. Do or die time, Jack thought as he sat down and sighed. "Look, this won't be easy for you all to hear, but... dragons don't exist in this world..." They all just stared at him, shocked, until Tsunami finally yelled out "What do you mean, dragons don't exist? We are right here in front of you!" Jack was saddened by this, but continued. "Well, if you currently look at yourselfs, you'll notice you aren't exactly dragons right now. Even though I wish they did, dragons have not once existed in the history of this planet, which, I just realized, is probably how humans are the dominant race." He sadly looked up. "Somewhere in history, dragons could have or couldn't have been created, which would then decide one of two paths: your world, or my world."

They all just stared at him, with Sunny being the first to speak. "Well, it doesn't matter whether or not dragons exist in this world, right? There are still other intelligent people out there, right?" "Sunny's right." Clay said, "It doesn't matter if our species exists here, at least everyone is still safe back in our world, and at least here we have each other." And with that, everyone stopped looking saddened, which took a great weight off of Jack's chest.

"So," Clay asked, "what's to eat?" And everyone, including Jack, laughed.

Since his Mom didn't want him eating junk food his whole life, she had luckily taught Jack how to cook. He made everyone a tuna casserole (since they seemed to like fish), and man, did they ever enjoy it. For one thing, they had never had anything like the macaroni that was in it, or had anything this well cooked (though Tsunami refused to admit it and said the Seawing palace food was better). After that, Jack decided that since it was a long day (not just for him, but for everyone), it was time for bed. He told everyone where they could sleep, and with them going off to the different rooms, it just left Sunny and him. Jack noted he would have to see what clothes he could get for everyone, since going to bed in your clothes just didn't seem right to him.

"Um, Jack?" Sunny asked, in which case he looked over. "Where am I going to sleep?" "Oh, you'll be taking my bed, while I have a portable mat and blanket for myself for myself." Jack explained. "Oh, no, you really shouldn't, I can easily take the mat." Sunny was just trying to be polite, but Jack just slightly laughed. "Look Sunny," Jack explained, "I'm trying to help everyone here as much as I can, and that means making sure everyone is as comfortable as they can get. And besides, I have used the mat a lot, so I'm used to it." He then lead Sunny to his room. "So don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Now when you're ready to go to sleep, flick this switch and go lie down in that bed. If you need anything, I'll be in the main room down this hallway." Jack told Sunny. "*Sigh* Okay, fine. But also Jack?" Sunny said, in which case he looked back over to her. "Thank you."

Jack smiled as he closed the door.

End of Day 1

Wow, that was a long chapter. Hope it makes up for not posting for so long. Anyway, I am planning on updating once a week, most likely on Fridays. But I hope you all are enjoying the story, I know I am. Another thing, I AM NOT SECRETLY LOADED, that was just for the story. Also, Starbaby now has cover art, supplied by one of my older sister's friends! But anyway, I hope you all are doing well, and I'll see you all again in the next chapter.
