Mia: "Benny, your dragon mask is slipping over your nose."
Benny: "It’s not slipping, it’s swooping, swishing, super-dragon style!"
Leo: "Super-dragon just bumped the table and dropped a glitter pot."
Benny: "Oops. Now I’m a sparkly, snarkly, twinkly dragon."
Mia: "And your tail—uh, your scarf—has purple blobs."
Leo: "Purple-blob dragon! Purple-blob dragon! Stomping through a soggy wagon!"
Benny: "Hey, quit it, Leo. You’re making it sound silly."
Mia: "I kind of like silly dragons."
Leo: "Me too. Silly dragons scare away boring."
Benny: "Hmph. Dragons are meant to be fierce."

Mia: "And wiggles its nose like this."
Leo: "And flaps its arms like this."
Benny: "You two look like wobbly chickens."
Mia: "Cluck-ROAR!"

Leo: "There it is! The dragon chuckle!"
Mia: "Now I’ve got one too. Hee-hee, chuckle, chuckle."
Benny: "Fine. My rainbow dragon will chuckle today."
Leo: "And tomorrow it can roar and chuckle together."
Mia: "Roar, squeak, chuckle—our costumes are ready for the show."
