"What in the hell is wrong with that man?" Carly asked, as she was escorted out to safety. And to make it worse, Sam's leftovers was chasing after her. She had a feeling that Peyton had pestered his sister for an opportunity to be alone together. She was not a trophy or an idol to be worshiped.

"He's just protective, hey I am in the same boat." Said Peyton, as he looked around. "Where are we?" He asked, not sure what to do, or were to go.

"How am I suppose to know?" Asked Carly.

"Well we can complain about the fact we are stuck here, or we can explore this place. It's hudge." Said Peyton, as his curosity started to get the best of him. He rather have a look around, than focus on things he can control.

"I will stay here." Carly said, as she watched Peyton taking off, to have a look around.

"Suit yourself." Peyton said, as he started to walk off, and looking at some of the statues. He wondered what they meant? Maybe famous dragonian leaders of the past.

Carly was now alone, in a big dark place with poor lighting. It was some sort of formal room, but it was poorly light up. With the lights on low, it was a little creepy. She did not like the look of the room, it was scary. She did not want to be alone in here. But she did not want to tell Peyton, that she was scared.

"Seriously, were is your mannerisms, your not suppose to a leave a girl alone in a big dark room." Carly said defensively, hoping that Peyton bought her bs.

"Then come along." Peyton said, as she continued to look at the statues.

"What are you looking at?" Carly asked.

"Statues of Dragonians, political figures I think. Not sure. Can't read Dragonian." Responded Peyton. As he continued to look at the statues. "Why didn't you go to the Shanghai, with your sister?" Asked Peyton, looking to keep the conversation going.

"Have you met her, what a drag!" Carly said with a tone of annoyance in her voice. "Her goodie goodie behavior is nauseating." Suggested Carly, in response to Peyton's question. Why would anyone want to hang out with her.

"Nice gals, can be fun to currupt. Think of it as a challenge!" Suggested Peyton with excitement in his voice. He liked the idea in his mind of Carly being a bad girl, living on the edge.

"Sounds like a lot of work." Said Carly, thinking that he was onto something. Instead of her trying to change for Kerja. It should be Kerja trying to change for her. Carly was just as important as she was.

"She's family, some times work is required." Peyton said, as he thought his family dynamic with Emily. He needed to try to be a better younger brother to her. And stop making her worry so much.
