“Like I do?” responded the dragon.

“Sylvia, my dear sister,” teased Rose, “Is there meaning behind your words that the rest of us may have missed?”

“On Earth, the saying goes, if you go into a store and pick up an item and break it, you have to buy it.”

“Ah. And that is insightful because . . .?”

“Because by defeating Mobius, Egg saved Aerianna from the fate that had befallen it. She changed the course of history. So, it’s on her head to make things right by becoming Queen. She’d understand and would absolutely agree.”

“Well then, it is settled. One cannot argue with such logic,” said the smiling Queen Mother.

I’za turned to Jax’x. “I really don’t understand.”

“It’s pretty simple. The people of Earth are all whackos.”

I’za didn’t argue.

“So, what can we do?” asked Serenity.

“As you can imagine, I have given this a great deal of thought. Before I assign each of you your tasks, we must first agree to one unified message.”

“Any chance you have one ready?” teased Ashley who was getting super-psyched about having her little sister become the Queen.

“I shan’t be coy – of course, I do. It goes something like this. ‘Egg saved the citizens of Aerianna from Mobius and that debt can never be repaid. Her other deeds as the leader of the Sisterhood makes her the most revered individual both here and throughout the Federation. But that is the past. She has a vision for how this world should evolve as evidence with the Citizens’ Council and the benefactor program with nobles. She will honor that past but lead us into the future. And consider that peace has lasted a very long time on Aerianna. However, as part of a larger community of worlds, the odds are that will not continue. Who would you want to defend your family? Who else is the equal of Flying Girl?”

Everyone smiled broadly. Their love for Egg knew no bounds and Meggy’s words were like music to their ears.

“Meggy, that’s terrific. But I would add one more thing,” said Sylvia.

“If it’s yellow ducks, the answer is no.” Everyone knew of the ongoing ‘feud’ between the two best friends from earth and laughed.

“Cute. No, not the ducks . . . which are just so cute.” The jeers were immediate. “Oh, shut up. Anyway, we should make sure that everyone knows that Egg has no idea we’re doing this and would be mostly outraged if she found out.”

“Excellent point. Anyone else?”

No one had anything to add.

“If you do think of something, please let me know. Now I will give you your assignments. Again, this is not cast in stone and we can change it if you wish. Aeri’elle will be contacting her grandfather tonight. We have high hopes he will ‘visit’ all dragons and let his opinion be known. K’ssss will rally the scientific community. Syl, Serenity and Jax’x, since you three have . . . ahem, connections to the Navy, you will talk to as many of them as you can.”

“Kreed is going to captain Benny’s ship, but that shouldn’t be a problem,” said Syl.
