FADE IN. INT. ROOM WITH LOTS OF BOXES. DR. BARLOW, DERYN, ALEK and BOVRIL on ALEK's shoulder, are standing around an open crate. Inside the crate are two large eggs.

DR. BARLOW

This creature isn't your traditional dragon, meaning it doesn't

breathe fire, but it still has wings. We had to have the life threads

of many lizards, most of them poisonous, like the komodo dragon.

It also has the life threads of some birds and bats to give it the power

Of flight.

ALEK losses interest now and starts to look around the room. DERYN sees this and slowly makes her way over to him.

DERYN

Alek, I think you should pay attention to Dr. Barlow's lecture.

We need to know as much as we can about these beasties.

BOVRIL

Shush.

DR. BARLOW stops talking and looks up. DERYN immediately stops whispering to ALEK. DR. BARLOW coughs politely.

DR. BARLOW

You shall need to start egg duty. I would advise that it is

just the two of you. I don't want to repeat what happened

when Mr. Newkirk watched my last eggs.

DR. BARLOW turns away from the other two and walks out the door.

DERYN (sighing)

She probably wants us to start tonight.

ALEK

Do you think she'll let do it together?

DERYN(smiling wickedly)

She doesn't have to know.

BOVRIL giggles.

FADE OUT.
