Dragon Tales 1x51

Crash Landings

Max and Emmy are in the playroom, Emmy dressed as a coach complete with a whistle. She’s going to coach the dragons for the big relay race that’s happening in Dragon Land. Max wants to help and Emmy says that he can be her assistant. They head for Dragon Land. There, Zak and Wheezie are admiring the gold trophy that’s the prize for winning the race. As they admire it, Max and Emmy materialize, inside the trophy. Everybody heads for the School in the Sky, where Quetzal explains the relay race, using his big storybook as an aid. He shows them that Cassie takes off first. She’ll fly for a while and then tag a waiting Ord. Ord will then race and tag Zak and Wheezie. Zak and Wheezie do the final leg of the race, heading for the finish line. It’s not as easy as it sounds though, as there are two other teams competing. They head out and Coach Emmy starts coaching the dragons. She has them do warmup and Max asks what he can do to help. Emmy has him get some water from the river to drink. The dragons do their stretches, but Ord messes up and it causes a chain reaction, which ends up with Zak getting a bucket on his head when Max returns with the water. Emmy decides that’s enough stretching and has them practice flying. This is where problems really begin. Wheezie goes really fast and doesn’t watch where she’s going. She nearly flies into a tree and then ends up crashing her and Zak into a muddy creek. Zak complains that he hurts all over, but it’s mostly his elbow that hurts. Cassie puts a bandage on it and asks if he feels better. Zak says that he does, especially so, since he’s decided that he’s never flying again. When the gang is shocked by this, he says that it’s too dangerous. Wheezie tries to make concessions, saying that she’ll let him determine the speed. They try this, but it’s not really working. They’re going too slow (a turtle is shown zooming by them for effect) and they’re also flying too low to the ground (a snail is shown inching by in this case.) This isn’t
