"Come on Experiment, it's an amazing plan!" Snowskull said, urging him. "No, no it's not." Experiment said quickly and ducted his head down. "What, you're too scared?" Combustion said in his baby voice. "N-no." Experiment stuttered. "Experiment, come." Snowskull said grabbing his talon and pulling him to the corner of the cave.
"What? You wanna lecture me?" He asked. "No, well kinda, but I just want to talk to you." Snowskull responded by taking both of his talons in hers. "What's the real reason you've never wanted to escape or stay out after the sun rises, or have fun? And I know you're a rule follower but there has to be something more to it."
He glanced back at the other dragons. "You won't tell?" He asked, taking a sharp breath. "No. I know they will laugh at you, that's why I brought you over here." Snowskull responded. "Look, I just, I don't want to die. The guardians make sure we don't. But if I just leave I might and I have too good of friends and family for that to happen."
"Oh." Snowskull didn't know how to respond to that, and all she could think of was, "I don't want to either. But, we have a life, why spend it here? When we could do whatever we want to do?"
"But that's not how the outside world works. You can't just do whatever you want. There are enemies and-and dragons who will want to hurt us. We are the dragonets of the prophecy, and if anyone finds THAT out, they'll invade the cave, or even..."
"That's enough negativity. Those things could happen, but they won't. I promise. We will stay together, fulfill the prophecy, find our homes, and defeat the Ice Queen. But the only way to do all that, is to see the world and, for once, have fun." Said Snowskull reassuringly. Experiment sighed, a long sigh. "Fine, if you promise you will do everything to keep us safe."
"I promise." Snowskull whispered.
...
They were all together at the entry and exit way of their room. Snowskull was saying the plan for the fifth time. "Ughhhhhhhh!" Obelisk complained and she started another run through. "Shhhhh." Experiment said to Obelisk. "Come on guys! I won't have to repeat the plan again if we listen! But here I go," Said Snowskull, "Okay, everyone knows that two of the guardians always shield the entrance, almost making that way not available, so the hole through the cave it is. But if one of us is going through the hole first, which will be Island, and then me and Obelisk will go knock out two of the guardians, Fennec and Gellis, making the entrance our grand exit.

"And- we all heard that! Let's do this! Right now! Come on guys!" Rushed Combustion. He ran out of the cave, and Snowskull and the others followed him to the river. "Okay, so we've got this all planned, now me and Obelisk have to get two of the guardian's capes." Said Snowskull, as she looked at Obelisk. "But Island goes first, everyone." Island was chewing on her nails, nervous no doubt. But Snowskull knew just the trick. "Island," said Snowskull in a 'as a matter of fact' voice, "There's about ten pearl necklaces on the other side of that hole!" Everyone smirked as Island gasped and ran to the hole, squeezing through it. "AHHH!" Yelled Island. "Sit on the hole! Sit on the hole!" Whispered Obelisk. "The guardians are coming!" Said Experiment, while Combustion shrugged and plopped himself onto the hole. "What's going on here?" Asked a gentle voice. It was Searing, their SkyWing guardian.

Searing was definitely the kindest out of the guardians. Snowskull looked at Combustion, then to Searing. 'Yikes. That's definitely a difference.' Thought Snowskull. She also thought about escaping... without Searing. 'Maybe she'll come with us.'

"Um," said Obelisk, "Well, maybe a dragon is dying. Or did you hear someone scream a few seconds ago?" Searing had her 'suspicious' face on. "I'm sure I heard it a few seconds ago. And it sounded awfully like Island." She said. "Uummm..." Said Experiment. The dragonets gave each other a meaningful look. "Can you keep a secret?" Asked Snowskull. Now Searing was smirking. "Do you guys know how many secrets I've kept for all of you? Of course."

"...Okay, so," Said Snowskull, "We all wanted to escape, so we came up with a plan. Bribed Island to go into the hole Combustion is sitting on, she yelled, you came, and I'm telling you this secret,- you're about to yell for the other guardians aren't you. Obelisk cover her mouth!" Obelisk quickly covered Searing's mouth, while the other dragonets sighed in relief. "Ere's sland?!" Said Searing. "Uhhhh, in the hole I'm sitting on." Said Combustion, "I thought Snowskull already said that!" He said angrily.

"Yeah, and we don't know where it leads!" Said Experiment, (DVD rewinds). "WHAT?" Yelled Searing, luckily not very loud. "Yeah..." Said Obelisk, shooting a 'I might kill you later' look to Experiment. "Othin etter appen to sland..." mumbled Searing, right in time for the wrong moment, as a piercing scream tore through the air. "Uh oh,"
Said Snowskull.
