"UGH, LET ME OUT OF HERE YOU OVERGROWN LIZARD," Taylor screamed as the dragon paced in circles in front of her make-shift cell.

Her cellphone was at home and thus she had no way of contacting anyone, however, being trapped by a dragon gave her ample time to observe and scrutinize her foe. He clearly wasn't a real dragon since there was no magic involved anywhere. She couldn't sense any and he smelt like kerosene gas. Taylor hoped that her friends and brother would find her soon. She couldn't break the bars of her cell a fact she didn't know the reason behind. Her only guess was that this dank, dirty, closet-sized prison had been constructed with her in mind. Of course, she'd tried repeatedly to get out. Oh, where were they?

…...


"I don't think the dragon is real," Rachel piped.

"Agreed,"

"Where would a dragon hide inside a cave?" Daisy asked.

"Well, in our world they usually hide nearest to their treasure," Rachel sighed "But this isn't our world so I don't know,"

"Guys, what's that?" Shaggy Jr asked pointing his flashlight to the ground.

"A sticky gray substance," Rachel said with a shrug.

"Let's take it back to the lab for testing," Daisy declared.

"But we need to find my girlfriend!" Tyler protested.

"Okay, then here's what we do half of us stay and search the others go to the lab,"

"Perfect," Daisy agreed, nodding at Charlie's suggestion.

"Okay, gang let's move out,"

…...


Meanwhile, Christina and Noel were at the hospital just so the doctors could make sure they were both alright. Christina felt exhausted, she looked that way too. Dressed in a blue hospital gown with tubes and monitors hooked up to her. Her hair hung partially in her face as she stared at the white ceiling above her. Shaggy had left to fetch the triplets, Scooby and, himself something to eat (Only because Christina had ordered him to).

Something didn't sit right with Christina. First, she thought it had to do with Noel but one look at her sleeping child dispelled that theory. The more Christina thought about it the more perplexed she became until she remembered what Tyler had said earlier that day. Taylor was at the skate park. That was it. Christina had been too tired at the time to really think that statement through but the more she thought about it the less sense it made. Taylor had been really, really excited all throughout the pregnancy so, why would she go to the skate park right as the baby was being born; why would she go through the window?

The sound of the door interrupted Christina's thoughts. Shaggy had returned with Scooby in tow.

"Draculaura has the triplets, they went shopping," Shaggy explained in a hushed tone.

"Something doesn't feel right," Christina sighed.

"Maybe we should call the doctor-"

"No, Shaggy I don't mean me," Christina replied quickly.

"then what do you like, mean?"

"Taylor,"

"What about her?"

"Why would she go to the skate park?"

"Because that's where the kids hang out?" Shaggy offered not really understanding what Christina was saying.

"I mean why would she go when she knew I was having the baby,"

"Okay, I get it, I'll have someone swing by the park,"

"Thank you,"

While Shaggy and Christina had been talking Scooby had been observing Noel. The baby looked to Scooby like a brown fuzzball with ears too big and a petite snout. The great dane went to sniff Noel which caused her to wake revealing red eyes. Instead of crying out she looked up at the massive dog wondering what it was. Scooby proceeded to sniff her causing Noel to squeak in surprise thus earning the attention of the nearby parents. They watched the interaction warily worried that Scooby despite his gentle nature might hurt Noel but they were both proven wrong when a magic surge from their daughter resulted in a treat for Scooby.

"I think they're going to be friends," Shaggy whispered.

"I think they already are," Christina replied.

…...


"Rachel, doesn't your mom own a dragon?" Tyler asked as they pressed through the ever dark cave.

"Her name is Nevermore she just laid eggs," Rachel explained.

"So, what do you know about dragons?"

"They will protect anything they claim as theirs,"

"Did the dragon perhaps claim Taylor then?"

"I wouldn't doubt it,"

"Great,"

"Don't worry I know how to deal with dragons,"

"Good very good because I think we found it," Tyler said pointing to the wall of blue scales in their path.

"RUN,"
