I woke up thinking, What the heck! But as I came to my senses, I remembered everything that happened yesterday. Noah and Sara were already awake, and Sara was making branches fall off trees for firewood. She did say she had psychic powers, and she was right. Noah was impatiently cooking some hamburgers that he said he "borrowed" from a nice store back in town. Seeing the hamburgers reminded me of the evil warlord from my dream, Angus. Did it mean the new Angus third-pound burger at McDonald's? That couldn't be right. A burger and an evil warlord aren't the same thing. And why did they have to go to Hawaii? Were they going to take a vacation? Or maybe this is all just a prank, or a figure of my imagination.
Just then, I realized I had a tail again. I turned around and saw my dragon tail, fitted with nice red armor plates all over. I focused on not having a tail, and I felt it uncomfortably suck into my body. Amazingly, my clothes fixed themselves. I looked up and saw Noah grinning at me with the burgers ready and on buns he had "borrowed" as well. Suddenly, he was an inch in front of me, still grinning.
"The hamburgers are ready!" he said, almost as quickly as he moved. Sara put some branches on the fire and put the rest aside. No one spoke while we ate our burgers, as it was so time-consuming to talk. We were all hungry. Sara and Noah hadn't eaten since who-knows-when, and I hadn't eaten since yesterday morning. I checked my watch, with had apparently stayed on my hand the entire time, and realized it was past noon. Hungry and sleepy. We had all stayed in our trees all night, without falling. I was ripping so fast at the burgers that I was almost as fast as Noah, the buzzsaw eating machine. I had grown dragon fangs while thinking about food, and I knew this could be a problem, growing dragon body parts out of the blue, but I couldn't think about it now.
After a very late breakfast, I explained my dream to everyone, and I had the strange feeling Sara was reading my mind to see if there was anything I wasn't telling them. That could get annoying. I thought. When I was done, Sara nodded her head, as if she understood everything. Noah just said, "Then lets go!" And so off we went, again. I was kind of excited to become a dragon again. Soon, I hope. And soon it was, for they attacked on our way to the next city.
