Emily of course loved dragons and wanted to be one.
So she typed in her name,various features of the dragon she wished to be
and pushed the <ACCEPT> button
The computer screen flashed <Processing Request> for a few seconds
then suddenly sparks shot out the side,the harddrive made a high pitched
"whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
sound and as the computer burnt out the screen went blank
and the "whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
slowly died down and stopped
It appeared the Trans-Booth was junked.
Emily kicked the lifeless computor in frustration,but it
stayed dead.
Emily left and headed back to her mother,who was pushing along her
shopping cart of Salvation Army foodbank food.
As we know,rich people get richer by getting free food as often as possible.
So Emily followed her mother outside and as they approached where their Mercedes
should have been,they noticed the huge crowds standing around,many on the rooftops
of cars.
So mother anxiously pushed her cart through the crowds of excited riff raff,with a
sulking Emily in tow.
Finally they got to the Mercedes,or what was left of it.
For lying on top of the squashed vehicle sat a 10 tonne copper
plated mechanical dragon.
A crashed mechanical dragon.
Beside its metal torso someone who looked like Charles Lindhberg in a knightly
suit of armour was furiously turning a crank,and the mechanical dragons
jaws kept openning and closing with a "wheeze wheeeze wheeze" sound
Emily looked up when she heard the noise from on top of the copper dragons
torso.
Straddling the machines torso was a four legged green scaled real live dragon,perhaps
12 feet long from the tip of its snout to the tip of its barbed tail.
Mother however,was looking not at the knight ,the machine and the green dragon,but
at her daughter,whose colour was changing at the same time her form seemed to vibrate and flow
into a new shape.
However the other humans were staring at Mother,who was unaware her body was getting bigger,darkening
,vibrating and flowing into a new bigger,reptillian shape.
The crowds screamed,pointed and ran away as Mother turned into a very big
four footed red scaled dragoness who was as big as the copper machine dragon.
Mother ,not knowing she was a dragon herself now,had begun screaming when
she'd seen Emily twist and reshape into a 12 foot long brown scaled dragoness
before her eyes.
Her screams had quickly turned to roars,as her throat insides changed.
Mother was puzzled about why Emily was down belw her quite a bit,then finally
noticed she had a rather long red scaled nose,nostrils with sparks coming out
of themand the feeling of lots of new appendages swishing about.
Then Mother caught sight of her own reflection in the polished copper plates of the
machine dragon,and in her screaming panic,belched out a gout of dragonfire and her barbed
tail smashed aside a small car behind her.
Emily on the other hand,wished she was as big and fierce as Mother,alas
she wasn't.
Finally Mother calmed down and sagged her huge body onto the pavement,panting heavily
as she took in her new problems...
