Before she could come up with a lame excuse to ditch her pink-mustached friend, Ruby was being dragged to the platform. "Brae, stop, wait--" No luck though, and in a matter of seconds, the Goofball had chosen a seat on a dragon, his face simply ecstatic with giddiness. She, on the other hand, glanced around at all the beasts, her lips forming a pout. She really didn't want to get on some dirty hippogriff and have it prance around the entire festival for all to see. Her eyes lingered back to Brae where he sat on his dragon, waiting for her to choose her animal. "I, uh...I'm not sure about this." She nervously toed the ground, tossing aside an empty chocolate frog box with her foot.


It was possible that maybe, just maybe....Ruby Blair was afraid of riding on animals. Or maybe she was afraid of animals in general.
Braeden was all prepared and ready to go when he realized Ruby still hadn't taken ownership of any of the animals at the carousel. "What's up, Bubs?" he asked, taking notice of the pout on her lips and the way she hesitated. Pouty and hesitant? Yeah, that wasn't like Ruby AT ALL. So something had to be wrong.

"Don't like any of the animals?" he tried to guess. But there was no time for Ruby to respond as Braeden had already hopped off his dragon (who seemed relieved to have the Goofball off his back). And in the next moment, Brae had placed his hands on Ruby's waist and picked her up like a small child, bringing her up to the dragon's back and placing her there like she was three years old.

"You're gonna like the dragon, it's the fastest. Even faster than the hippogriff!" Braeden explained with excitement, a grin lighting up his features before he hopped back onto the creature, this time settling behind Ruby so he wouldn't block her view or anything. "Ready!?"

But there was no time to change their mind now.
The dragon had already set off into the park.
