(Yeah, I know. not that blow out, also the halftime show should have just been Bruno Mars, not him and RHCP. RHCP was 1 song. ONE SONG...ugh)

"I'll let Alex know, and I'll call you when we get there, promise." Carly said as she hugged Tracy.

( Bruno Mars was good but the RHCP was a bit too much. )

Tracy hugged Carly back. " Tell everyone hello for me. " She said.

(agreed)

"I promise I will," Carly replied.

Tracy hoped she would see them again and headed back to her office, since she had a meeting in an hour to get ready for.

Alex had taken a winter coat out of the satchel on Angelus's side as well as a pair of goggles, knowing that both would be necessary since he would be sitting further up on Angelus's body. He just hoped that the dragon's inner temperature would be enough to keep Carly warm.

"Do you really need that little one? I should be warm enough for the trip," Angelus said as Alex nodded, explaining that he was going to be keeping a close eye on her health and take rests as needed. To do that, he would need to be sitting up closer.

Carly knew her Bishies would be warmer in their balls and made sure she herself would be warm enough. " Hope I'm not late. " She said seeing Alex.

"Not late at all. I was just doing last minute checking. I was going to have Angelus take a break before we get to the mountain, so if Artunia wants to ride a dragon, she can. Same offer goes to Max," he replied.

" I'm sure they will want to. " Carly said.

"Then let's ask them," Alex said with a light smile. He had a feeling that the female bishies would enjoy riding on Angelus, at least until they got to the base of the mountain.

Carly let Max and Artunia out of their balls and smiled. " Would you two like to ride Angelus ?" She asked hoping they would.

"Before you ask, I'm perfectly fine with it and so is Angelus. It's totally up to you two," Alex said, wondering what the others would say. He knew that Max was okay with flying herself and usually that's what she did.

"I don't see why not," Artunia replied, though was curious as to what her sister would say. She knew that she could fly during all the spars that they had, but wondered if Max would want to ride or fly.

" I would like to ride actually. " Max said with a smile. It would be nice to rest her wings a bit.

"Alright then. Ladies, please be careful and hold onto one of the horns while you're flying. I'll be sitting on Angelus's neck, and I can't worry about you as much as I would like," he said as a reply. He wasn't being harsh, he was just telling the truth.

Max grabbed onto a horn and held tight. She knew this was going to be fun.

Artunia also grabbed onto one of the horns and held on tight, hoping that it would be as fun as in the past.

(timeskip?)

( sounds good to me. )

Alex made his way to the front door of the gym and headed inside, Carly right behind him. Carly had called ahead while they were in the cave last night saying they would be there today.

" You guys made it!" Deanna said and hurried toward her friends. " Lunch is almost ready. Taylor is making hamburgers. " She said.

Carly giggled lightly at that. "Good to see you as well Dea, and food sounds wonderful right now," she admitted. Sure they had eaten when they took a break, but after that, they hadn't eaten at all.

" It should be ready in a little while. Just relax for now and I'll let you know when it's ready. " Deanna said.

"Thanks sis," Carly replied.

Elisa checked the fries glad that they were cooking well. " Are they back?" She asked with a grin when she saw Dea.

Dea nodded with a grin. "They are."

" Yay!" Elisa said feeling excited. " Sorry. Overdid it a little." She said.

" It is great to be back. " Max said and stretched and was happy to be out of the Bishie ball.

Deanna giggled lightly at that.

Artie stretched once she was out of the bishiball. "I agree," the female king responded.
