Scene 1 – The Mysterious Growling Sound

Nova suddenly stopped walking and pressed her hand against her stomach.

A strange, low rumbling sound echoed from her belly.

Nova: “Uh… did you guys hear that?”

Milo looked around quickly.

Milo: “Yeah… I thought it was thunder. But the sky is blue.”

The sound came again — longer this time, like a tiny engine starting up.

Nova: “Okay… that was definitely me.”

Milo grinned.

Milo: “Maybe you swallowed a sleepy dragon.”

Nova: “Very funny.”

Dr. Zaptain smiled and gently twirled his mustache.

Dr. Zaptain: “Cadets, what you’re hearing is not a dragon… but something much more fascinating.”

A soft rumble rolled through Nova’s stomach again, low and steady.
