The clock struck midnight. Emerald gasped at the bells ringing. Pixie dust surrounded her,transforming her into a dragon. She spread her wings, stretching them, accidentally chasing away any critters that would be awake at this hour. The dragon sighed. "Sometimes I wish I was always human," she said. "But when I turn to a dragon, I remember how awesome it can be sometimes. Maybe tomorrow you can fly on my back sometime. Wouldn't it be fun?"
