Are we ready?! I yelled over to Peter who was carrying a big basket and he nodded. Today was the day. We were going to get off of this island and see what the world is really like. It was a nice warm day there wasn't a cloud in the sky. It had been three months senes we started training the pterodactyls. I picked up my bag and found the harness on Penny's saddle. We had made saddles so it was easier to stay on. Oi! Here I made this for ya. Tom said holding out a small wooden whistle that had a string around it. To call Penny from afar. He said I took the whistle and put it around my next. Thanks. I said then hopped on Penny and looked back. Peter Billy Alonso Archer Kamau Jaison and Tom were all on their pterodactyls. We were the only ones leaving the island for now. We plan on a two-month trip to the outside world then come back to tell the others what we found. We had packed a lot of food and other supplies. Let's go. I said then gave the single to one of the other boys. Everyone began counte down. Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven! Six! Five! Four! Three! Two! One! Left off! Everyone yelled. Penny spread out her wings and took off with the others. Everone was cheareing. Now we have the cyclone. I said pointing at it. Well, we're dead. Jaison muttered. Alonso Archer looked at each other. Nice knowing you. I rolled my eyes. We are going to be fine. This way. I said leaning on the rains and making Penny turn left. The rest followed behind her. We came within a hundred feet of the cyclone. We made a hard right staring far away. Yes! We did it! I yelled throwing my hands up in the air as the wind blow through my hair.
We went around the cyclone with ease. Now we are just flying over the open ocean. I looked back to see Billy Kamau and Jaison weren't doing anything well Alonso and Archer were talking probably about hunting. Peter seemed to be enjoying himself as he did a lop-ta-lop. I chuckled to myself, I turned to see Tom clinging onto the rines of his saddle eyes closed like he was going to die. Penny slowed down a little and flew over to Tom. Are you ok? You look sick. I said he shook his head no. Don't tell me you are scared of heights. I teased to my surprise, he nodded yes. Ok, didn't see that coming. I said with a chuckle. Calm down. Mushu won't let you fall. You are safe. I said he nodded but didn't open his eyes. I few back to the front of the grupe. Hay no one fly too close to Tom. I said everyone looked over to see Tom and they held in their giggles.
We were flying when Peter spotted an old shipwreck. Look! A ship! He yelled pointing at it we all looked. The ship was made out of metal, but it was old, rusted, and leaning heavily to the right. Cheek for survivors. I said then flew to this ship everyone following after me. I landed on the ship and stepped off, my boots creating a loud thud as they met the metal deck. Everyone else landed a few seconds later and got off. Tom practically fell off his pterodactyl and then did fall. Oh, thank god we are alive and on land. He panted turning a little green. Look around. I said to the others then walked off with them. Jaison helped Tom up. Are you okay, buddy? Jaison asked Tom sighed and nodded. Yeah, I'm fine. He said, pinching the bridge of his nose and shaking his head a little. Ok. Jaison said, giving Tom a pat on the back before walking away. Over here! Alonso Archer yelled everyone came running. There was a girl around our age. She was lying on the ground by an old flighter's plane. She had short platinum blonde hair and brown eyes and was wearing a white shirt with light brown pants and a light blue skirt with brown UGGs. Are you ok? I asked crouching down to her she shook her head. I broke my ankle when I crashed. She said I looked at her again she had pilot goggles and a red scarf. Ok, Jaison we need you to help... I trilled off then looked back at her. What's your name? I asked she looked at me almost scared to answer. Sky. She said I smiled. That's a nice name. I'm Amelia. And this is my friend Jaison he is going to help you with that leg. I said pointing to Jaison over my shoulder with my thumb she nodded. I got up and stepped out of the way. Jaison sat down next to her and pulled out a bag of medical stuff. How long have you been stuck here? He asked well raping her leg she glanced down at her leg and then back up at him. Three days. I got hurt in the crash and have been stuck here. She said I gasped. She must be starving and dehydrated. Here eat this. Tom said taking out one of the pieces of cooked and dried deer meat. It will help. He said she hesitantly took the meat and ate it. Thank you. Sky said then Tom and Jaison helped her up. How far away is the land? Tom asked her she had to think for a minute. Fifty miles from here by plane. She said with a smile I looked at her and smiled. What about practically? I asked stepping out of the way and Penny walked over. Wow! Sky gasped covering her mouth with her hands. Hope on. I said patting the saddle.
We were back up in the air. Sky was riding with me well Alonso and Archer's pterodactyls were holding Sky's plane as they flew. Thank you for taking my plane. Sky said well clinging onto me. It was clear she wasn't used to riding a pterodactyl. No problem. I said smiling at her over my shoulder. As I did that I saw that Peter was staring at her. I chuckled to myself then turned to face forward.
