Meanwhile, at Green Hill Elementary School, two young female pterodactyls were eating lunch and giggling.

"Who do you like better, Fire, Wet, or Headache?" asked the pink one.

"Why?" the yellow one inquired.

"Because, Lolly, I want to be your sister in law one day if you marry one of my brothers!" the pink dino said, smirking.

"Sorry, Puff, but they're all middle school age and I don't have feelings for any of them," Lolly said, "Besides, I'll already be your sister in law when you marry my brother Mac!"

Puff blushed.

"True…" she said, her cheeks were a darker pink than her normal skin tone.

Lolly giggled at her friend's embarrassment. Puff looked over at her, slightly annoyed.

All of a sudden, Lolly stopped and stared.

"What? What is it Lolly?" Puff asked curiously.

Lolly looked away in embarrassment. Puff looked over in the direction Lolly had just been looking and smirked.

A silver-blue lizard/raptor hybrid was walking straight through the football field in the distance in front of them. He was reading a book and didn't notice a football flying towards his head.

Lolly immediately noticed and took action. She ran as fast as she could and jumped straight over Axel's head, catching the football and scoring a touchdown.

Axel just stared at her.

"That kid stole my touchdown!" a voice shouted.

"What?" Lolly asked in a worried tone.

A boy who looked about 5th grade walked over and shook his fist at Lolly.

"Listen, kid, I kicked that ball and you caught it and scored a touchdown instead of me!" he yelled. Lolly looked scared and stayed silent.

Axel looked at the little Kindergarten girl with sadness and then looked back at the 5th grade boy. He then spoke up.

"Listen, I don't know who you think you're talking to, but I'm pretty sure Lolly didn't mean to 'steal' your touchdown. If she hadn't grabbed that ball, it would've hit me on the head!" Axel shouted at the boy, annoyed.

The boy just stared at Axel, and then looked back at Lolly.

"What a protective boyfriend!" the boy snickered. Axel flushed with anger.

"J-just leave Lolly alone!" Axel was really annoyed now.

"Fine. I'll leave her alone." The boy raised a fist, "Now I'll target you instead!"

"Axel!" Lolly rushed to Axel's side.

Axel grabbed Lolly and ran off at top speed.

The boy walked away with the football.

"Heh, lovebirds," he said upon giving the football another kick.

Axel had taken Lolly to a very large tree with a hard, sturdy branch.

"Why are we here?" Lolly asked.

"Follow me." Axel walked into a hollow in the tree. Lolly followed.

Soon, they were walking up a staircase inside the tree. They walked out through a leaf curtain and onto the tree branch.

"This is where I come to study when people bother me." Axel told Lolly, "We can study here together if you want, or just talk."

They sat down on the tree branch, gazing down at the grass below.

"Well, I, uh, you know Pencil?" Lolly tried her best to start a conversation.

"Yeah?" Axel said, wondering where this was going.

"Well, she told me yesterday that she wanted to make a personal rollercoaster!"

Axel couldn't help but chuckle at this.

"Ah, that Pencil and her crazy schemes!" Axel said.

"I was going to help her, but I wouldn't know how!" Lolly replied.

They both sat in silence. Axel moved a bit closer to Lolly. Lolly looked up at him and then in embarrassment, quickly looked back at the clouds in the sky. But Lolly could still see Axel out of the corner of her eye.

'He's kinda cute with those blue-grey eyes. And those glasses! They make him look so smart! I wish I could be as smart as him. I wonder if he likes me…nah, probably not. He's four years older than me; he probably likes some older girl!'

Lolly sighed sadly. Axel looked over at her.

"Is something wrong?" he asked in a concerned tone.

"N-nothing…" her face flushed pink.

"Really?" Axel said, looking at Lolly.

Lolly looked away in embarrassment.

"Really!" she said, trying to get Axel to stop asking questions.

"Ok…" Axel replied looking back up at the clouds.

"I wonder what Pencil is up to…" Axel wondered to himself.
