Nina looked out of the grubby windows. Nothing ever happened, life was so boring. She jumped up, realising that it was her stop.

Suddenly she tripped over a large stone. It was bluey-green with yellow freckles. Nina picked it up. She wished it was an egg, not just an ordinary stone...suddenly it began to shatter. A small, ferocious dragon emerged. Nina dropped the stone,screaming. Then she realised that everything was still boring. It was only a baby, not big enough to fly.

She wished that it was huge, spanning the skyline. Suddenly there was a rush for the shopping mall. A gargantuan shape filled the air.

Nina felt cold. She wished she could be warmer. A flame shot from the dragon's mouth...and Nina could wish no longer.

The End
