Ten minutes or so. Thank God for that.
Kyle's claws beat out a restless tattoo on the arm rest of his seat. He could almost feel the walls of the cabin pressing in on him, and he stirred slightly like an uneasy animal would.

Christine bit back a retort about how bloody annoying that drumming was getting. She had a feeling if she called attention to it, he'd continue out of spite or just to annoy her.
She reached up and rubbed her cross necklace, trying to draw comfort and peace from it. She leaned over and fiddled with the radio - trying to find a song that screamed "stop running through the stations and listen dammit".
Stars in your eyes, little one Where do you go to dream? To a place we all know The land of make believe
Shadows tapping at your window Ghostly voices whisper "Will you come and play?" Not for all the tea in China Or the corn in Carolina Never, never ever They’re running after you babe
Run for the sun little one You’re an outlaw once again Time to change Superman will be with us while he can In the land of make believe
Something nasty in your garden’s Waiting patiently ‘til it can have your heart Try to go, but it won’t let you Don’t you know it’s out to get you Running, keep on running They’re running after you babe
Run for the sun little one You’re an outlaw once again Time to change Superman will be with us while he can In the land of make believe
Your world is turning from night to day Your dream is burning far away Into the blue, you and I O the circus in the sky Captain Kidd’s on the sand With the treasure close to hand In the land of make believe In the land of make believe
Run for the sun little one You’re an outlaw once again Time to change Superman will be with us while he can In the land of make believe
Run for the sun little one You’re an outlaw once again Time to change Superman will be with us while he can In the land of make believe
"I’ve got a friend who comes to tea And nobody else can see but me He came today, but had to go To visit you? you never know"

Paige smiled over at Jono and took his hand. "I can't wait to see London and Scotland," she said, before glancing out her window to see the Research Center down below. "Isn't the Muir Island Research Center run by Doctor MacTaggart? I wonder what she does in it."

Jonothon laced his fingers through Paige's, squeezing her hand gently in return.
"Researchs genetic stuff. Chris might know more. It's her mum after all."

"Sounds like ever so much fun," Paige said. "She seems upset about something tho. Like something happened at Muir Island that makes her return bittersweet."

"Big ol' mystery there, pet. But yer know, not everyone is as eager ter get back home as yer are."
Jonothon rubbed his thumb along the side of her hand thoughtfully.
"Yer know, yer should probably call yer folks...they can't come and get yer over 'ere."

"Mama would tan my hide the minute I get home," she said. "And probably use the shotgun on you if she misconstrues this as us eloping."

"Yer could reassure her that there's plenty of chaperonage," JOnothon said dryly, glancing at the people in the jet.
"An' I think Doc McTaggert has quite firm...views. Yer have a family that cares wot happens ter yer, pet. Not many of us do."

Taela managed to catch a good tailwind and caught up and passed the jet. Her blue color kept anyone from seeing her. She had thoroughly enjoyed the chance to really stretch out and fly. She landed a bit ahead of the jet.
Christine? Why is the guy on the runway running away screaming and why do I have the feeling you didn't tell him that I was coming down? Taela called back to the jet. I don't think he was expecting a blue dragon to land on his strip.

"True," Paige said. "I wish I didn't have to be seatbelted in. I would love to have been snuggling with you," she said, pouting a bit.

Jonothon chuckled wickedly.
"Bet yer we can find plenty of hidey holes ter snuggle in, pet."

I didn't think you'd get there before us, Taela, that's why. It's Clarence. Christine answered, glancing down. "Oooh, forgot to tell Clarence about Taela," she said, sheepishly. "Well, it won't be too bad. Clarence is the kind of scientist that still believes in dragons. He's probably in shock that there's a dragon sitting on the runway."

" 'Course. She doesn't know how t' find the tailwinds if she can't feel 'em." Taela said to herself. A bright flash nearly blinded her for a moment. "Wha th'........?" She turned to see the same man, Clarence, standing near her with a camera with a huge flashbulb. He was snapping pictures like crazy. "Hey! Don' ya think it's a bad idea t' be snappin' pics of a drag'n without warnin' it? I don't like flashes and yer startin' t' blind me."

Clarence quickly put the camera away, happy to see his one theory about dragons still existing proven true. 'Where'd Miss Christine find her? She's glorious,' he thought.

Taela yawned, and glanced up at the sky. "Land already, Christine. Dude's creepin' me out." She mused to herself.
She decided on a smaller, less conspicuous form. She shifted from glistening blue scales to red fur, her almost equine face resculpted itself into the canine face of her dragonfox form, from which her codename had come.
She looked like a fox, but she had green dragon's wings, bright blue eyes, two tails, and small paws with large talon-like claws. She stretched again and watched the jet land.
