Ah, the sun has rosen. The sunlight brighten the hall, where the dragon, the rider, the elves, and the humans were resting in their own way.

While the dragon curled and her rider rests under her wing and the elves rest on their cot, the humans was not as fortunate as the other.

They have no reason to be comforted though.

First, this is the first time they have a journey together without a good preparation and without any supervision from older people.

Second, they have no idea how they can come back to their home.

Third, they realize that if they finally find a way to go home, they should explain these strange things that has occured since their 'disappearence' to their parents, teachers, and maybe police officers. And hope that their parents, teachers, and the police officers would not force them get into an asylum. Plus, they have to, somehow, managed to bring their bus back with them.

Last, they never sleep in front of a dragon before.

But, finally, they fell asleep.

BEEP!BEEP!BEEP!

Eragon jolted to his feet just to be knocked down by Saphira's wing. Eragon cursed, he did not remember slept under Saphira's wing.

You should be more carefull Little One

Saphira's voice ringed in Eragon's head, followed by a weird noise that Eragon has recognize as Saphira's laughter.

Good morning Saph

Good morning Little One

With that Eragon slipped out from Saphira's wing.

The sight was a chaos. Wait. Not chaos. But, hectic.

The group was the one who caused it. While the elves have no idea about what was happening, just like Eragon.

Some kids were already awake and are awaking the other kids. They seems like they have tried to 'reduce' their noise, but they have to yell to awaken some of them.

"Hmm.. Five more minutes.." one of them said, and he get back to sleep.

Jason, who was-as far as Eragon's observation, the most respected person amongst them, came closer to that kid. He kneeled, and put his mouth near the kid's ear. Then,

"GET UP! A PERSON IS MISSING!"

The kid jolted up to his feet, his face became serious,

"Missing? Like gone? Who? How? When?"

Jason nodded and said,

"It's Rocky. It seems like we have forget him. Maybe he still asleep inside our bus..that's the best we can hope for. Now, go and get ready in ten seconds!"

Rocky, is that a name?

It's seems so Saph

The kid hurried, while Jason shouted to everyone,

"ONE!"

"TWO!"

"THREE!"

"FOUR!"

"FIVE!"

"SIX! GIRLS YOU DON'T NEED YOUR MAKE UP!"

"SEVEN!"

"EIGHT!"

"NINE!"

"TEN! STOP! WE SHOULD FIND ROCKY!"

The kids finished their rushed preparation, bring up their bags, and started to walk toward the door. While the other four walk toward Eragon, Saphira, and the elves.

The girl-Cheese started the conversation,

"Good morning. Firstly we apologize for any inconvenience things we've made since our arrival and..and.." She stoped, lost at words.

"Morning indeed. We accept your apologize. And, if we may know, what makes you rushed this morning?" Eragon replied, and the Elves smile kindly to the kids. The Elves has some attraction to that kids. Mostly because Elves loves child, and however the kids are still childs-by their standard, just like Eragon.

"Mmm..We were rushed because we left our tour leader in our bus, and we were worried about his well-being." Lily answered it for Cheese.

"What is a tour leader child?" Lifaen asked her.

Lily lowered her sight, as if does not want to meet her asker's eyes,

She is too shy for a sixteen years old girl..Saphira said to Eragon

Eragon smiled at her comment.

"Well.. a tour leader is the one who lead yo-"

"Supposed to" Cheese remind Lily

"Supposed to lead you when you are in a tour." Lily finished.

"However, our tour leader doesn't work as he should do. He was care-less about us. Even leave us in some occasion. And, it seems we have forget about his existence, and leave him in our bus last night, alone." Vico analyzing the situation.

"Bus? What is it?"

The kids looked to each other in disbelieve. They discussed it first, whispering. But, Eragon, Saphira, and the Elves still could hear them anyway.

"Do you guys thinking what I thought?" Cheese talk first

"Food?" Vico tries to melt the tension Cheese's voice had brought to them

"No! I thought, we were just not lost in a normal woods... Guys, what is happening here? They event don't know what is a bus, they don't know about tour leader, they look like a medieval age people, and they have a dragon! What if we were transported to the past? Or something worse than that? And how can we get home?" Cheese said that rapidly.

Eragon look to Blodhgarm for an explanation, but Blodhgarm shook his head.

"Sssshhhh... Don't be panicked Cheese. Maybe we just lost into a place that we never know before.. And, if we are going to stuck here forever, well, as long as we stay together we shall be fine.." Vico once again tries to calm down the girl.

"Don't forget, a trip isn't about the vehicles you use for, or where are you going, but, a trip is about togetherness that we get-" Lily added.

"From our beloved friends..But, that can't fix our problems.."

"We can talk about this later, and maybe Eragon and his friends could help us right? Now, wipe your tears away for we should introduce our world to them. And learn about their world." Adam tapped Cheese's shoulder.

The kids now facing Eragon and the Elves again,

"Sorry for the interruption. Well, a bus is a vehicle that could carry many people in it. Do you want to see it? You could come with us." Adam offered them.

Eragon and the Elves look at each other,

What do you say Blodhgarm?

We find that this is interesting, and with this we can know their world better is it not? Blodhgarm said, representing the Elves

I agree with you, but, we cannot let this place unguarded Lifaen said his worries

It is fine, I will stay here Saphira projected her thought to them.

Well, I want to go with them, and I suppose it is better if all of you stay here to guard this place and the 'hearts' Eragon said to them

I shall acompany you Eragon Blodhgarm voulenteered himself.

"Alright then, bring us in." Eragon clarified to that kids.

"YAY! THE JOURNEY IS JUST ABOUT TO BEGIN!" Vico yelled, threw his arms to the air, then he spinning around, and stoped in front of his friend, well, his feet never stop moving though,

"Attention, Vico Express is ready to go. All of the passengers please take a seat."

They laughed,

"Fine, fine." Cheese said, then she stand behind Vico and put her arms on Vico's shoulder.

Then Lily stand behind Cheese, and Adam stand behind Lily. Each put their arms on the shoulder of the person standing in front of them.

"Once again, all of passenger please take a seat." Vico said. His eyes casted towards Eragon and Blodhgarm,

"What? We should do that too?" Eragon asked, bewildered.

"Of course, come on!"

With a push from Saphira, Eragon degradated his statement as an adult-in-his-people's-eyes, and put his hands on Adam's shoulders. Blodhgarm did the same.

Vico whistling,

"Vico Express is ready to go! Please take a seat and enjoy the view!"

And, not as Eragon nor Blodhgarm expected, they run.

The group was right in front of them, but Vico is not slowing down,

"Get away! Vico Express going throuugh!" Vico yelled.

Eragon could feel the kids annoyance, but, suddenly, their annoyance turned into attraction.

"Hey! Wait for us!" a group of girls run and attached themself behind Blodhgarm. Make their row longer.

Eragon turn his face to see Blodhgarm's expression, expecting to see his masked expression like he usually wear. What he saw is not as he expected. Blodhgarm grins.

"Vico! Who do you think you are?! Your express wouldn't stand a chance against us!"

Jason and his 'row' catch up Vico Express,

"The winner could use the loser's power bank!" Jason shouted and run.

"You're cheating! You know better that I cannot run! Come on guys, we should catch them up!"

They are running. But, of course, it is still 'slow' for Eragon and Blodhgarm.
