The reason Brendan the Dragon was pissed off was because when he tried to breath out flame all that came out was waves of the pink mist.
No self respecting flamebreather would be pleased to breathe out pink mist
instead of a healthy sizzling jet of flame.
Not being too bright in his current state,the dragon continued to huff and puff out vast quantities of pink fog.
What it didn't notice was that as it continued to expell the pink mist from its
insides,it was getting smaller and changing .
So it was that Brendan's lightbulb inside his mind lit up again 5 minutes
later,with him being a 18 year old human boy again,naked,standing on his hands and knees
in his bedroom.
Immediately he realized that if he breathed in the pink mist swirling around him he'd be turning into Mr Scaley again.
So,covering his mouth and pinching his nose to keep from breathing in the vapours,Brendan got out of his room,locked the door then quietly snuck away.
When he heard Ricks footsteps coming up the basement stairs,with his stepdads angry voice almost as loud as that of the dragon Brendon had been minutes earlier,panicky Brendan looked towards his closed bedroom door.
< No,Mr Scaley might overdo it> thought Brendan and he instead
dashed for the nearby bathroom,which incidentally also served as a
Escape Chamber,complete with pressure sealed door and a fish eye viewer in it.
Brendan dashed in and got in,locked the door and looked through the little
peephole just as Rick reached the top step of the upper stairway and
stomped towards Brendans locked bedroom.
With a tug Rick yanked in the door,was overcome by the billowing fumes and stumbled into the contaminated bedroom.
The door slammed shut behind him and soon Brendan had slipped out of
the bathroom and frantically rushed to his bedroom door to open it and rescue Rick before Mr Scaley decided to rearrange his stepdad.
Ala the door was locked and soon the sounds of tearing cloth,stretching muscle and skin and creaking lengthening altering rib and leg bones could be heard getting louder through the locked door.
The sound of Ricks rapidly beating human heart slowly changing into the powerful measured slow beat of Rick the Dragons much bigger
dragon heart didn't help matters any.
Brendan waited for the house shaking bellow and roars,but they
didn't come.
Yet the "THUMP thump swishhh thump " of a dragon tail
told the confused 18year old that Mr Scaley was alive and well in
his stepdad.
Cowardice seemed the better part of valour and so Brendan stayed
outside his bedroom door,and each time he called out Ricks
name he got a muffled " grrrrunttt" in reply from within.
*****************************************
Three hours later there was still no sign that Rick was Rick again,yet Mr Scaley hadn't smashed up his stereo equipment ,so Brendan was actually about to leave the house,go to the mall and see a movie or two .
Then he heard the sounds of furniture shifting around and the horrifying sound of his new Cray 1000 PreMixer Amp falling to the
floor,so the anxious teen kicked in the door,which promptly bounced off...
