Vixen, Tony, Robert, Melissa, Chris, Chase and Cathy tackled Mikey to the ground and began hugging tightly and Mikey hugged them back as best as he could.  It was over.  Mr. Pepper walked up to them and they stopped hugging each other.  Mikey gets up on his feet and the 2 of them make eye contact.

"Congratulations, Mikey" Mr. Pepper said, "You managed to break the spell, saved the city and defeated the Wizard.  How do you feel about this?"

Mikey looked at his friends and looked back at Mr. Pepper.  He couldn't just take all the credit for this as if it wasn't for his friends, none of this would even be happening.

"Mr. Pepper, I will be honest with you" Mikey began to say, "I didn't do this alone.  I had help from my friends and family.  If it wasn't for them, I would still be a dragon and none of this would be happening.  So, it was not only me who saved this city but it was also my friends"

Vixen and the others were surprised.  If they knew Mikey well, he would have taken all the credit but this time, he didn't which wasn't like him to do that.  They then smiled at him.

"And also, it feels great and I know this sounds crazy but... being a dragon was much better and cooler" Mikey said with honesty in his voice, "Though I missed being human when I was trapped in my dragon form and only cared about changing back, I really enjoyed being one"

"You do realize that you can change from human to dragon at will, right?" Mr. Pepper said.

That hit Mikey like a brick.  How could he have possibly forgotten?  His friends told him that some time ago and he completely forgotten about it.

"I forgot about that" Mikey said.

"Either way, I think it's time for the festival to commence" Mr. Pepper said and everyone cheered at that.

Just then, the song 'Macarena' started playing and everyone began dancing.

Mikey was dancing along when he felt a tap on his shoulder.  He stopped dancing and turned to see Melissa with an upset look on her face.

"Mikey, I owe you an apology for what I said to you a week ago" Melissa said, "I didn't mean any of that"

"It's okay, Melissa" Mikey said, "And you do realize you said that to me a week ago as well, right?"

"Oh, I must have forgotten" Melissa said and she blushed.  Mikey then took her hands and Melissa looked at him and she smiled.

The 2 began dancing together to the music with the rest of the citizens and Mikey said one last thing to Melissa.

"Also, why does your breath smell like a burrito?"
