Spring break was nearly over in the small town of Clewiston. Alexis lay in his bed, staring at the ceiling. 'I'm not ready for school!' he whispered to the shadows.
As the moon shone brightly through his window, a daring thought crossed his mind. 'One last adventure!' he said, smiling at the thrill of it.
He reached out to the night and called for his secret friend, a dragon with scales that gleamed like stars. Only Alexis could see this magical creature.
In an instant, they were soaring over Clewiston, the cool night air whooshing around them. Alexis felt alive and free, far from the worries of the classroom.
Suddenly, below them, dark figures crept near the town bank. 'Are they stealing?' Alexis whispered, frowning at the scene.
Without hesitation, Alexis and his dragon dove through the darkness. 'We must stop them!' he declared with a brave heart.
With a roar from the dragon that shattered the silence, the criminals were startled, dropping their loot. Alexis told them I do not allow that in my city
The dragon's fiery breath lit up the night sky like fireworks. The thieves ran away, leaving behind the money they had tried to take.
As the adventure came to a close, Alexis knew it was time to return. 'Let's go home, friend,' he said, and they flew back under the cover of night.
Sneaking back into his room just as the world began to stir, Alexis was filled with a quiet triumph. Nobody would know of the heroics that night.
Full of courage from his adventure, he got ready for school 'I can face anything,' he thought. And he hoped his dragon was somewhere safe sleeping quietly.
Alexis stepped into the sunlight, ready for another day at school. No one would know about his dragons and daring. his heart was still soaring — just like last night.
