Max, Emmy, Enrique, the dragons and their new friends exited the bus single file and made their way to home room. Everyone found their desks and sat down just as the teacher entered the classroom. The man was tall and muscular, had greying blonde hair, a spanish accent, wore a white workshirt, a pair of black dress pants and a pair of black leather shoes.

"Buenos dias class. I am your teacher for the new school year." He said as he wrote 'Mr. Draco' on the white board. "I hope we can all be friends during the semester and hopefully some of you will get enough credits to move into the next grade." Said Mr. Draco as he took a sip from his coffee.

As he praddled on about the importance of education, Emmy felt that something was amiss. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but something about their new teacher seemed a little out of place. She Decided to aske her friends about it at recess. The bell soon rang and the students gathered up their belongings and headed for first period: Math.

*LINE BREAK*

Meanwhile, outside of the school, The same van from the previous night was listening in on what might be going on in the school.

"Nothing yet sir." said the driver. "Damn! Oh well, We have just began surveillence, Something is bound to turn up. Keep you eyes peeled for any suspicious activity." said his superior. "Yes sir! Over and out." The man closed communications and resumed watch.

*LINE BREAK*

Afew hous later, recess had begun as students emptied out onto the playground. Emmy called the others over to a the edge of the playground. "Que pasa Emmy, what's up?" asked Enrique. "Yeah Emmy, What's wrong?" asked Alice. "If it's about dragons then I don't want to hear about it. You've always talked about them ever since we met. They're not even real."

"Hey, I like dragons, the breathe fire and stuff!" Said Piper in one breath. "Well, That's the thing." said Emmy nervously. "Do you promise to keep this a secret?"

"Okay" said Hugh

"Whatever" said Don

"Yes." said Alice & Piper simultaneously

"Alright already! Just spill it!" said Don impatiently. "Alright then. You see..." Emmy then proceded to tell them about the dragon, dragonland and all of their adventures. When she finished, they all looked at her and started laughing. "Hey! It's not funny." said Emmy. "I'm sorry Emmy, but seriously, real dragons? Even I have a hard time believing it." said Piper.

"It's true." said Max defending his sister's story. "Yeah!" said Cassie. "Well well. What's going on here?" asked a voice from behind them. It was Mr. Draco. "Oh...Uh...Nothing sir." said Don. " "Uh-huh." said Mr. Draco in disbelief. "I'd like to talk to all of you inside." He said in a serious tone. "Yes sir." They said as they went back inside.

*LINE BREAK*

Once they were iside of the classroom, Mr. Draco locked the door and told the children to sit down. Mr. Draco Sat down at his desk, looked at the kids and said "You can come out now." As soon as he said that, A familiar figure appeared from the shadows. It was Dusk! "It's you!" cried Emmy. "Hello children." Said Dusk. "Hugh, Don, Piper, Alice, I would like you to meet Dusk." Said Mr. Draco. "So then, Is it time?" asked Dusk. "It is." said Mr. Draco.

"What is tis about?" asked Hugh. "It's time you all learned the truth." said Mr. Draco. As soon as he said this, He began to glow brightly and soon revealed himself to be...None other than Quetzal! When the light died down, Emmy could see Hugh looking in astonishment, Alice sitting motionless, Piper wearing a huge grin and Don hiding under his desk.

"Y-y-you're...you're." stuttered Hugh. "A dragon?" Said Piper. "Yes." said Quetzal. "I figured the secret would come out sooner or later, so I came prepared." Quetzal the revealed the identity of the dragons and had Dusk explain the reason for being here.

*LINE BREAK*

Back inside the van, An alarm went off and soon the man sent a voice message to his boss. "Sir, You may want to see this for yourself, but I think We may have found it."
