Rose and her dragon captor flew to the palace. "You stinking, icky, slimy winged scale! Put me down this instant!" Rose screamed at the copper-colored dragon. It just looked down at her with an annoyed expression.

Rose thought about throwing a tantrum in the dragon's claws, but she did that a few minutes a go and it didn't work, so she settled in just stabbing him. Rose raised her sword and stabbed it downwards, but the dragon saw that and threw her into the air, unbalancing her, then catching her again, this time with her arms pinned between his claws. Rose groaned. This is not gonna work.

Suddenly the dragon flew through and oversized window and dropped her, injuring her arm in the process. Rose shook her fist at him. "Thank you very much for delivering me here and also bruising my arm!" Then she looked around and noticed six dragons glaring at her, with a few more guarding the doors and windows.

The dragon with pale sandy scales snorted at her then nodded to the wall. But the other dragon that looked like the sandy dragon's sister snapped at her and growled quietly. The last female dragon looked at her and grinned, like she got a good idea, and the others just looked at her skeptically. Rose took this chance and bolted toward the window, stabbing at the dragon soldiers in the way. She was almost out when the male dragons with black diamond shapes on his wings grabbed her and set her down on the ground.

That dragon snorted at the other female dragons, and the pale sandy one snarled at him, but the other ones seemed to back him up. Rose scowled at the dragons standing before her. Suddenly the black diamond dragon picked her up and carried her to another room. Rose tried to stab him with her sword, but he just plucked it out of her hand and placed it on a shelf that was way up.

Rose shook her fist at him. "Take away my sword? That was a gift from Leafa! Besides, I can still hurt you some other way!" She yelled, but to the dragon it only sounded like annoying chattering. Rose crossed her arms and glared at him, who was getting an enormous roll of paper with some markings on it. He looked at her, shook his head, and crossed off something on his list. He did that a few more times. Rose got curious and walked over to the scroll. The dragon looked surprised as she did that, but didn't try to push her away. She looked at it and saw a few words with most of them crossed out. Maybe he's trying to name me. Rose thought. She ran out of the room through a few hallways and skidded to a stop in front of a picture with roses on it.

"That could do." Rose smiled. A second later, that dragon came bounding through the hallway, and stopped when he saw her. Rose pointed at the picture. The dragon snorted and tipped his head. "That's my name!" She yelled at him, even though she knew that he could understand. Then he straightened up, like he understood, and nodded at her. Rose grinned.

"I need a name for you too." She said to the dragon. "How bout Sunny? No, he has some black colors." She brainstormed aloud, pacing around the corridor. "Aha!" She pointed at him. "Sandy! That's a cute name for you." Sandy then threw her a banana, thinking that she was hungry. "Well I am hungry." Rose took the banana (even though it was really big) and smiled, thinking that this might not be so bad after all.
