"It's almost Christmas!" said Ryder as he flew through the night sky.

"Christmas is my favorite holiday!" said Irving, his best friend, as Ryder carried him.

Suddenly a Dragon appeared behind them. Ryder tried his best to fly away, but the dragon caught up with them.

The dragon then took Irving out of Ryder's hands, and with his great, big jaws, he spoke. 

"On this day and on this night, a curse I place on Ryder's might, for if he can't find me before Christmas morning, he will turn into a Christmas tree for all of eternity."

"RYDER!" squealed Irving as he was carried away by the dragon.

Ryder tried to fly after them, but he suddenly forgot how. The curse that the dragon put on him made him forget how to use his powers.

"I have to get Irving back!"

Ryder then began to look for Irving all across the country.

He went from New York all the way to Las Vegas. He finally found Irving, but he was with a boy dressed in all red.

"IRVING!", Ryder called out with excitement. "I'm sorry, but do I know you?" asked Irving.

"It's me, Ryder, your best friend," said Ryder. 

It took Irving a few seconds before realizing that it really WAS his best friend, Ryder.

The boy in red didn't like this. "No, you are supposed to be my best friend!" cried the boy.

Just then, the boy in red turned into the dragon that had flown off with Irving. "MWAHAHAHAHA! You may have found Irving, but you will never defeat me, you do not even know how to use your powers!" exclaimed the dragon.

"He's right Irving, I forgot how to use my powers," said Ryder. "Grab my hand, that should help you remember," said Irving.
