Blake slams his shoulder into the punching bag. Throws a few punches before deciding to take a break. He walks back towards Network headquarters and almost slams into Dracustos. He gives him a nice scan. Big bag, nice looking shoes...

"Are you going somewhere?" Blake asks. Dracustos shrugs, almost embarrassed.

"I've decided... I'm not staying in the Network anymore. I've already written my resignation letter and placed it on the table for Lost to see..."

"What. Why are quitting? We need you!" Blake blurts out. He flushes. He had grown attached to the nice dragon.

"Its just that... I have more things to do and... Well its complicated. You wouldn't understand." Dracustos stumbles over his words.

"And you just thought you could leave us hanging without a goodbye? Dude thats harsh." Blake sounds disappointed - sad even.

Dracustos shrugs for the second time. "I mean, its not like you guys are going to throw a party or anything." A grin spreads across Blake's face. He pulls Dracustos back into the house. "What?! Wait, h-hey! I didnt mean it!"


"What has happened here?" Lost waves the letter. Verde snatches it out of Lost's hands.

"Dracustos, you quitting?" Blake folds his arms and leans against the wall. Dracustos nods.

"I propose we throw a party. A goodbye party." Blake says loudly. Dracustos groans.

"Revenge for your little cooking trick." Blake mutters.

"I really don't-"

"Thats a great idea!" Dracustos is shooed and locked into his own room. "Don't come out until we tell you to!" Verde yells as we troop to the living room. We start to plan. Verde will put up the decorations with Blake and Lost will do the shopping as well as cooking. Verde pulls out a long piece of cloth.

"Where on earth did you get that? I didnt even know we owned cloth." Blake says, listening to Verde snip away and write on the cloth.

"Dunno. Just found it. Get me some paint." A few hours later and they were almost done. By then, Lost had finally returned with the groceries. He moves fast, dumping stuff out and soon, sweet smells fill the house.

"Can I come out now?!" Dracustos roars from his bed room.

"Chill your dragon snout Dracy! We're almost done!" Blake hollers back. "Wait guys! We need music! It isn't a party without music. And drinks. And cake."

"Working on the last bit." Lost says. Verde leaves to get some fizzy drinks or the like. Blake goes to the storage and rummages for some music discs or at least some movie.


By the time they were done, it was reaching late afternoon. "Wake up Dracy! We're done!" Blake ushers the dragon out. Dracustos gapes. The whole place had been strung up with balloons and banners. Confetti exploded over Dracustos head

. "Surprise!" Verde popped out from his bidding spot.

"I wasn't really surprised you know."

"Whatever dude. Just enjoy the moment." We eat up the cake and the other food, chicken and the lot. Then we watch a long movie and just fake party around. Its almost midnight.

"Come on Dracustos. Stay with us."

Dracustos sighs. "I... I can't. I'm leaving in the morning." The mood is more solemn now.

"We'll miss you ad your big fat hot nose of yours dragon." Blake pats Dracustos on the shoulder. They retire, all in their own thoughts. By the time they wake up, their numbers had reduced to 3. They stand by the doorway, as if hoping he would appear right there. "I miss him already." Verde mumbles. Lost nods and Blake, without a word, walked back in.
