Spent the day with Tiamar, showing her around the grounds and building. She really is the most fascinating girl imaginable. Her hair is long and blonde and the texture of woven silk. Her eyes are as green as emeralds and shine even more brightly. She's smart and witty and wonderful. She's not afraid of pixies or imps or even spiders. The only ( Read more... )

I'm here at the school. Outside the school. Got here faster than I expected, got a hitch from a passing dragon. Really! It just ... landed in front of me and offered to give me a lift. So cool. Now to get inside and find my stupid twin. When I see him, I'm gonna give it to him good. Who does he think he is, not calling on Christmas? He's ( Read more... )

It was a simple plan. Go to the school. Find Simon. Shake some sense into his head and find out why he's been giving us all the silent treatment. Finding a dragon's egg wasn't part of it. Now that I got it, though, I guess I take it with me.

Simon didn't call for Christmas. Well, okay, so in that crazy school of his and mobile phones don't work and they don't have land-lines either. And his talking mirror thing doesn't work so great through the mushroom circle. But ... he hasn't even written. I think there's something wrong. I think .... I think my twin needs me.

It's a vampire!

Do you hear me, Simon? It's a freaking vampire!

That egg that died, and it hatched - it wasn't dead. I mean, it was, sort of. Undead. But it grew. Into a freaking vampire!

Why didn't anyone TELL me that? I was all ready to break into that freaking cell and get it out of there. What if I had?

Oh man! She caught me sneaking into the nursery! She must have figured out what I was going to do 'cause she locked that dead thing up in a cell. Can't she tell it's dead? I tell you Simon, it stinks. I mean, it really stinks. You wouldn't want to get close to it. So why is Mgr. Ki keeping it around ( Read more... )

It's dead! It's DEAD! That egg I killed, the one Mgr Ki put into the hatchery - it hatched and it's DEAD! I'm going to try sneaking it out ... no ... that won't work. Or maybe it will. I could .. umm... I could tell them that it .. .the hatchling ... wandered out on its own. Yeah. That might work. Maybe. I hope. I'm gonna try anyway ( Read more... )

You're a big help, Simon. NOT ( Read more... )

Hey! I was a great you. I was a better you that YOU are, if you wanna know the truth. At least I know how to talk like a real human being! "No one was deceived..." "Apparently you made for a very poor imitation of me ..." I mean, really! Can you get any stiffer ( Read more... )
