The 26 and friends

"Ready for our Dance? You'll be fine."

"Our….Dance? I mean….yes. Uhuh....yes."

"Are…..you ok, Jacklyn? I know this Dance is your comeback, but you have nothing to prove. We'll like you just as you are?"

"Pst, Jaclyn ... .full house. I repeat, full house. The Blachers are lining up and it feels like the whole town is here. Scratch that, the World.I hope you're ready for those dance lessons on the Spaceship will be nothing compared to this."

"I'm fine."

"What'd you say, Jacklyn?"

"I said....it's fine, Mom. I know you like me for who I am but you know me, I always finish what I started. A Tree that bends in the wind....."

"Is stronger than the tree that has never seen a storm. I told you that quote."

"And it has stuck with me all my life."

"WELCOME....TO THE 36TH ANNUAL ICEDRAGON. HERE WE CELEBRATE 36 YEARS TO THE DAY WHEN IT ALL CHANGED. WHEN WE...…."

"Quick, Jacklyn, it's starting. You know how dad is when he is late. We have to get you in costume."

"Mom, I want to tell you something before we start, in case we…."

"I know."

"But I…."

"Jacklyn, I know what you're going to say and...…whoooooooo.....how do I say this. Whatever happens, happens. We both worked too hard for this."

"...Some of us more than others."

"...............I'll see you on stage. Don't be late. And...oh, Timekeeper...you look beautiful tonight."

"What did she just call you?"

"She....she said don't be late."

"No, I mean after that. She said."

"Gotta go. You're breaking up. Bye."

"Jacklyn!!!! Jacklyn!!! You're supposed to.....Ughhh...Stick to the plan.

I'm going in."

"Jacklyn, wait. You don't even know if she's in trouble. She knows the plan, let her go."

"Ruby, let go of me. I know when I can sense danger…and danger is near."

"...Teo, Evelyn, can you watch over things for us."

"Where are you going?"

"Just check on the Dragon. He may be hosting this Dance, but he's my responsibility, now yours."

"Why me? I spent my life pillaging under their noses. Remember, they still don't like me."

"Teo, please."

"...Fine, be careful."

"Jack, with me."

"Do we tell Timekeeper?"

".........Let her have her day."

"Icedragon, if you would like to do the honors please? Freeze this lake.

Everyone, step back if you may."

"Jacklyn, it's starting. Is it ok if I squeeze your hand and savor this moment?"

"The first freezing, to honor magic and kick off the Season.

…..I'm glad the ice is freezing slowly."

"Me too, girl. Me too.

…..Ready, hun?"

"You ask that every time, and my answer has always been the same."

"Just checking."

"EVERYBODY, COUNT DOWN WITH ME. TEN...…..NINE....EIGHT...SEVEN...…..SIX...….FIVE....FOUR....THREE....TWO...ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
