Janelle had a plan and it had better work. She opened her cage so it would be all ready. Then she directed her attention to her dragon. "Hi there little dragon. I guess I'm your mama. I'm going to take very good care of you, but I need you to do something for me. You have to go into this cage because if you don't, they won't let me keep you and that would make me very sad.". Of course Janelle had just met her dragon, but he was so cute. How could she not get attached?

Janelle looked pleadingly at the dragon and pointed to the open cage. "How about you go inside and make yourself at home. I think you'll like it.". It had to be better than living your life as a rock in a box, right? Janelle continued to talk persuasively to the dragon. He wasn't being uncooperative, but he didn't seem in any hurry to visit the cage. Janelle peeked over her left shoulder and then her right. She didn't want either of the Professors to get any ideas.

Persuading didn't seem to be working so Janelle switched to begging. "Please dragon. Please come and get inside the cage. Don't you want to be my friend?" The dragon began to move slowly and Janelle held her breath. Was he going to do it? Please, please, please.
