A Place For Us

David wondered what was making Leah and Carley so quiet at dinner. He had seen the bag of cookies on Leah's bed and was curious. Leah sighed. She knew she couldn't tell him or her Mom about Dragon Land because they wouldn't understand or believe them.

"Maybe we should let David know about Dragon Land too. He is your brother, right?" Carley said as they were in Leah's room.

"Yeah I guess it's okay.

But we'll have to take him there for him to understand." Leah told her.

Carley then went to her room and pulled out the box with the Dragon Scale in it.

"I hope Kimora's okay.

Maybe she tried talking to the other kids." she said to her.

Leah nodded.

But in Dragon Land Quetzal was worried about Kimora. She was very quiet but not so well. She was tired, coughing and sneezing. He wanted to help her but she wouldn't let him.

"Maybe there is one person she'll let help." he thought as he went to rest....

That night Carley had a dream about Kimora being ill and not wanting anybody to help her, not even her uncle Qutezal. She woke up feeling worried for Kimora. She then got dressed and brought out the Dragon Scale.

"I wish, I wish with all my heart, to fly with dragons in a land apart." she said softly.

The dragons then swirled around her and in a flash of light, she vanished.

She smiled as she saw Qutezal waiting for her in the Dandelion Forest.

"Gracias for coming nino.

I know Kimora will let you help her. She's not very well. The others were worried too." he told her leading her to his and Kimora's house. She hoped Kimora would be okay and want help.

She then heard loud sneezing come from Kimora's room as they went in.

"Hey Kimora. You're feeling under the weather huh?

Let me help you, okay?

I hope you'll be okay because you're my friend. Friends care about other friends even if they're sick." she told her. Kimora smiled weakly at her as she brought a tissue to her nose.

"T-Thanks. Nobody's ever wanted to be my friend before." she told her coughing slightly.

"Don't worry I will be your friend and so will Leah." Carley told her.

Leah woke up the next morning and wondered where Carley was but realised she'd gone to Dragon Land seeing the Dragon Scale box on her bed.

She then saw her appear in her pyjamas.

"Why did you go to Dragon Land in the middle of the night?" she asked her soul mate.

"Qutezal needed my help.

Kimora wasn't well and I was the only one who she'd let help her." Carley answered putting the Dragon Scale away. They then went downstairs for breakfast. David wondered why Carley had a far off look in her eyes as he saw her eat along with Leah.

"Hey my Mom's going shopping in the city centre. You wanna come?" Leah told her.

"Sure. Besides I told Kimora I would come later. Maybe when I go back, she'll be a bit better." Carley told her.

Leah saw her join her and her Mom outside with her back pack and symbol cane.

They then got into the car and drove off......

Later while they were away, David was in Carley's room and had found the Dragon Scale.

He saw the words inside the lid and was curious but closed the drawer.......

He'd ask Leah later........

That afternoon Kimora opened her eyes but was still under the weather. Qutezal had a feeling his niece had the flu but would need help but he had a feeling he'd have to wait for a while as Kimora was wriying in a book. She loved writing stories about other worlds and strange creatures.

"Maybe Carley will come later." she thought yawning.

Leah then watched as Carley ran upstairs when they got back to the house. The girl had a feeling Kimora needed her and that she had to go to Dragon Land.

"Want to come?" she asked her.

"Sure. Dragon Land is too cool to stay away from.

Let's go see if Kimora's okay.

I wish, I wish with all my heart, to fly with dragons in a land apart." they said as they disappeared in a flash of light. They arrived in the Dandelion Forest and decided to go to Qutezal's.

"Bueno tardes ninos I'm glad you're here.

I could use help. Kimora has the flu and not herself but won't allow anybody to help her but I know she trusts you two. I have to go see Dr Booboogone about it, okay?" he told them.

"Sure Qutezal.

We'll be okay." Leah told him as the big yellow scaled dragon left.
