At Charley’s question, Joy’s expression becomes serious.

“Where is Red, Dad?”

I’ve been here long enough to hear about Joy’s legendary friend, the Red Dragon. She hadn’t been heard of or seen since Suzy and I were summoned, since Joy first left Justin’s dream.

“I don’t know,” he shrugs. Then his expression turns more serious as well. “Why would you think I know?”

“I just realized,” Joy says. “That in all the adventures I had with her, in all the times I rode her, there is no way I wouldn’t have made her real. Red didn’t just disappear because you woke up, Dad. Red is permanent. No one killed her. So she’s still alive. Where did she go?”

“She saw us!” Joy yells. “She looked right at us and saw us!”

Justin nods. “I think she saw us, too.”

“Was that a dragon?” Charlie whispers. “An actual dragon?!”

“Why’d you do that? What’s the danger?” Joy is upset with her father. “We could have talked to her! We could have played with her! We could have asked about Red’s sister dragons!”

Justin shakes his head. “We can’t be seen, Joy.”

There, in the distance, amidst a sea of Shrooms, I see something yellow flying. It is as small as a faraway plane, but it is not the shape of a plane.

“A dragon!” Joy whispers in awe.

Justin moves with the speed of a pirate and covers Joy’s mouth with his hand. He grabs me with his other hand, and together, he walks us back to the shadow of the tunnel.
