        Victor stared in amazement. He never thought he'd see this here. He looked at the dragon's face and was astonished at the specific details. He put his hands on the dragon's chest. It was warm, like it was a huge stone heat blanket. Even more curious Victor touched the dragon's muzzle. He felt a shudder from the stone. The dragon's eyes glowed red and started to shake. The stone started to crumble and fall to the floor. Then everything was silent. But the stone dragon was gone. What was left was a sparkling purple dragon. It's wings looked like a clear starry night and its eyes were a bright green. It looked at the human before it, stunned. But the dragon wasn't the only one that was amazed. Victor was standing there eyes wide and mouth agape. How is this happening. They both thought the same thought.
"Hello," said the dragon.
"Hi," Victor said back. The dragon sat down and so did the boy.
"I'm surprised you didn't run," said the dragon.
"Why would I?" Victor said back.
"Because we're scary and people think we don't exist."
"Oh, okay."
There was silence for a while but then Victor finally spoke. "Um, what's your name?"
"My name is Stargazer. But you can call me Star. How about you? What do you go by?"
"My name is Victor."
Star covered covered her snout to keep from laughing. But it failed. She laughed out loud, "Oh my gosh! Your name is really Victor?!"
Victor looked hurt and, quite frankly, was. "What's wrong with that?! Why are you laughing?!"
Star slowly stopped laughing. She looked at the human and could tell he was offended. "Oh, I'm sorry! I don't mean to hurt you! I wasn't laughing at you, I was laughing at a coincidence."
"What do you mean?"
"That name was just a name of a person from an anime that I watched. It was the best thing to happen in 2016. Wait! What year is it?" It better not have been a thousand years! "Um. 2019." replied Victor. Star sighed a sigh of relief.
         "That's good?"
         "Yes. Very. I still have time." She felt around her highnd quarters. "They took my satchel! Dang it! Wait." She reached underneath her chin and pulled out a phone. "Thank goodness!" She turned it on quickly.
         "How do you have a phone?" Asked Victor.
           "Long story," Replied Star.
         "Can I hear it?"
