The dragon guarded her cave. Psy watched while dancing gangnam style. Psy wished he knew what the dragon guarded. The dragon was Empire State Building big and she was neon purple. Her wings, however, were short and stubby. She had a bright red mustache that curled up around her cheeks. On the top of her head and sprouting from her forehead were like a half a million long, thin, sharp horns. However her body was spike free – very smooth. Psy knew just how smooth her skin was because they had danced together – gangnam style – in the past. Her tail on the other hand – wasn’t smooth; it was sticky with a really pointy and sharp tip.
Her wonderful scent of fresh strawberries wafted toward him. But there was another smell, something Psy did not like. He smelled sand which to him smelled a lot like manure. Where was that smell coming from? Could it be from the cave? The dragon was screaming very loudly. She seemed mad. But Psy didn’t think she was mad at him. In fact, he didn’t think she knew he was there. Psy could also hear faint groaning coming from the cave. While the dragon screamed, she chewed on Nial from One Direction. Psy thought she must be really mad at Nial.
Psy felt a little sorry for Nial, but mostly he wanted to find out who or what was in the cave. He screamed and ran with fury for the cave. With the dragon having short and stubby wings he didn’t think she would be able to catch him. He dived over the cave’s threshold and was met by complete darkness – the blackest of black. He grabbed a torch from his backpack and hand-cranked it on.
The cave was floor to ceiling piled with bananas! There was no way that the dragon was guarding bananas. There had to be something else. But the groaning that he had heard before had stopped. There had to be another room in the cave. Psy grabbed his supercharged drill and started to dig a tunnel under the bananas. It was hard going, but slowly he worked his way back to the far reaches of the cave.
Just as Psy thought he could drill his way back up to the cave, he heard a huge explosion. He imagined that it must be the dragon barreling her way after him. The ground shook and dirt cascaded around him. Psy barely managed to make it back up before his tunnel collapsed. The first thing he saw was a door made of one huge diamond. He pushed it open and ran through.
On the other side was Sherrif torturing Osama Bin Laden! Wow – Osama Bin Laden? Psy couldn’t believe that he found him. The diamond door crashed open, and the huge dragon squeezed into the room.
Sherrif yelled, “Fluffy, I command you to poop.”
Psy realized that Sherrif was the dragon’s master when she pooped.
Then Sherrif yelled, pointing at Psy, “Attack!” he yelled at the dragon, and the dragon ran at Psy.
Psy screamed, “Stop!” Then he started to dance gangnam style. It was as if the dragon couldn’t stop herself, because she started dancing too. All of a sudden, Nial arrived. Thank goodness he wasn’t eaten. He started singing The Best Song Ever.
