All tagged backwards day
“Ah! Finally! We have caught the Jolly Pirate and his gang red-handed!” exclaimed the King happily. “Arrest them!”
“Huh? What?” Dragon Little, 4 years old and used to adventure, looked at her father, confused.
“I told you, it’s Backwards Day!” Dragon Father seemed happy.

“There’s the palace!”
By the time Backwards Day was about to end, Dragon Little had fallen in love with it.
Dragon Father and Dragon Little were approaching a hidden palace hidden between two snow-capped mountains on a nameless planet.
Dragon Father was helming Bonny’s Revenge backwards, standing behind the wheel rather than in front of it, facing the back of the ship, and steering the back of the ship.
Dragon Little, finally excited after their last fight with the Jolly Pirate and his minions, was at the Crow’s Nest atop the mast, guiding her father.
“Over there!” she pointed. “They have a landing bay for flying ships!”

“Watch, Dad, this is how you lose!”
Dragon Little, only 4 years old and already an experienced sword-fighter and adventurer, stood next to her father, surrounded by pirates. This was Backwards Day, in which, as Dragon Father had defined it, they were doing everything backwards. They flew Bonny’s Revenge backwards, they gave stolen treasure to pirates rather than steal it back, released a super villain rather than imprison him, and now fought him and his crew in order to lose the fight.
“Ha ha!” Dragon Little hit one of the pirate’s swords with her small sword.
“Ow!” both the pirate and Dragon Little said, and dropped the sword. They said the same thing, but only one of them was faking it.

Dragon Father and Dragon Little chased the Jolly Pirate’s spaceship, backwards.
It was Backwards Day, after all, and all flying was done backwards. Bonny’s Revenge was so much faster than the villain’s spaceship that even though they were flying back first, they still had to try very hard not to overtake it.
The Jolly Pirate joined with the rest of his pirates on a small meteor, where their base.
“What now?” Dragon Little asked, as they both looked over the railing at the pirates’ meteor base.
“Now we fight them!” Dragon Father said.

Dragon Father and Dragon Little made two more stops in their Backwards Day, each time giving pirates treasure rather than taking it back. Dragon Little, who first enjoyed the thought of having a backwards day, was liking the day less and less.
“And now,” Dragon Father said, clapping his hands together excitedly. “We meet the villain.”
“Yai!”
“Let’s go,” he left the wheel of Bonny’s Revenge.
“Where is he?” Dragon Little ran after him.
“He’s in prison, of course!” Dragon Father said, getting closer to the stairs that lead to the Infinite Prison in the belly of the ship.

“How do we do Backwards Day?” Dragon Little asked her father, once they parked Bonny’s Revenge, backwards, in the space dock around the Planet of Yesterday.
Bonny’s Revenge was the only wooden pirate ship in the space dock, among hundreds of steel and silver spaceships, and yet no one made a comment.
“It’s easy,” Dragon Father said. He had initiated Backwards Day just a few minutes ago, saying everything in today’s adventure will be backwards. “What do we do when we meet pirates and save the day?” he asked his four-year-old daughter.

Real adventure, real villains are dangerous. I know more than others, for I have seen many deaths of my fellow dragons, many deaths of dreams, and many humans die while dreaming.
But adventure in Dragon Father’s dreams are fun. Sometimes Dragon Father finds ways to make the adventure even more fun.
“Morning good, Joy!” Dragon Father woke his daughter up cheerfully in her cabin.
