Rain palmed a card from her deck. She flashed it to the stars. A dragon coated in green stone materialized on the porch. Its emerald wings spread. Rain hopped onto its back. She held a hand out to Carly.
Carly mumbled, "Are you sure it's…"
Rain's hand reached further. Carly gulped before taking it. She wrapped her arms around Rain's midriff. The dragon pushed off the ground and steadied its wingspan on the wind current. Flaps later, Carly stretched out her arm to touch the stars. Cloud condensation spotted her hand like morning dew.
Her breath caught. They were soaring.
