Thomas walkined into the staff room to find Daniel standing atop an upended mixing bowl and shrieking in triumph.

"I caught it! I caught it!" Daniel screeched. 

"What? What do you have?"

"The mouse! The one that's been stealing the cookies!"

Thomas knelt and peered into the thick glass mixing bowl. The surface was scuffed with age and use, but he was pretty sure the bright red rat-sized creature inside was not a mouse. The red creature stared up at him calmly through unamused eyes.

Daniel stepped off the bowl and Thomas picked the creature up.

"I think it's a dragon," he said, lifting it to eye level.

"I've never seen a dragon that itty bitty before," Daniel said, leaning in to look closer. "Or with such fluffy hair."

The dragon sniffed the air and looked around disdainfully, as if it were no more than a mild inconvenience to have been trapped under a bowl and then foisted into the air. 

"What should we do with it?" Daniel asked. "Release it out in the woods?"

"I'm pretty sure this is some kind of house dragon." Thomas said. "Maybe we can keep it, like a pet or something. It'll probably scare away all the real mice." 

"But won't it eat all our cookies?"

"Not if we feed it, probably. Maybe it'll clean up all the cookie crumbs you leave everywhere, too." 

Daniel gave that a moment of thought. He really, really hated cleaning. "Yeah okay. Let's keep it."
