Last time on lost city: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/4055907/
After hours of walking  draco-rex was growing tired. The sky was still the same shade of dismel grey, the light seeming to be almost frozen. The buildings he passed still kept to the trend of being in ruins. Burnt out husks of cars littered the road like giant toy cars left behind after a temper tamturm.

Finally, when the light was just starting to fade, Draco came upon something different. Instead of another office building or appartment complex. At first, the green dragon thought it was just another office building, but then he noticed that it was much bigger then anything else he had seen so far, except for the strange tower he had been heading for. The building had to be at least six stories tall and three blocks wide. As draco walked closer, he could tell the sturcture held a faded glory. Under the soot and grime, marble could be seen. Small lumps that could have been statues addorned the roof of the building, ten in total. There was a set of stairs leadding up to the double doors that lead inside.

Knowing that the light was failing, Draco headed toward the building, seeking shelter inside for the night. As he assened the stairs, he could see that the eddiface of the building had several dectritive coloms and large windows. It could have been anything from a goverenment building to a museum. Looking up at the letters above the entrance, it was clearly the latter as a "M" a "S" and a "UM" stood out from the marble. The rest of the message had been worn away, but there was no doubt that it had once read "MUSEUM"

Upon reaching the doors, Draco saw he had a choice between the left hand doors or the right hand doors. The green reptilain decided on the left and gingerly pushed against the heavy iron frame. The old door, regardless of it's weight, swong open on surpisely silent hinges. A small pile of dust was swept away by the door, uncovering an long hidden tile design on the floor.

Even with the door open, and the other doors having grill work, there was barely any light in the room. The only other light sorce was a window set high up on right wall and several cracks in the masonery. The dragon stood in the doorway, and called out to the darkness.

"Helloo?" Draco called, almost expecting no reply to his words. But what he heard next he could barely discribe.
It was a sound like from a thriller movie, akin to nails on a chalkboard deepend in pitch. The screetch lasted only mear seconds, but it caused the green dragon's brain to splinter in pain so sharp it could have cut the air. Then, when he thought he could take no more, it stopped as quickly as it had started. Draco opened his eyes and managed to get a fleeting look at a shadow pass by overhead. What it was of, he could not quite say but it was almost human in shape.

Taking a moment let the pain subside, the reptilan walked into the building's entrance hall. The room itself was oval in shape, with the curved ends at the entrance to the sturcture and at the other end leading deeper inside. The walls had once been a blueish marble color that had turned a said shade of violet with the dust and dirt. on both sides of the room were several murals, each different from the last. On one side, there were images of places with temples and pyrimids, cities and wars. While on the other side there were oceans and jungles, planets and deserts.

Turrning around, Draco noticed that there muralls continued up to the doors themselfs, with the top of each doorway decorated with words. On the side with the temples and towns was written "OUR HISTORY" and on the side with the oceans and forests was "OUR WORLD". It was at that moment it came to Draco that this museum might hold the secret to where he was and what had happend.

Just when Draco was about to search for a museum map, he heard a loud "THUMP!" sound coming from the doorway marked "So-ar S--tem Dis--ly". Curiousity burrning inside him, Draco headed toward the doors. Finding them locked, Draco looked around and saw on the wall next to the doors a suspisus looking crack peaking out from an old postercase. Taking a chance, Draco took down the poster (which as it turned out was a time table for the planetarum) he found a tinnly hole in the wall that showed the room beyond.

Making like a nosey neighbor, Draco put his eye to the hole and took a peek inside. What he saw brought him relief. Inside the room was a large moble of a solor system with a damaged sun with a dead light bulb inside it. all the planets were haning from metal cords from the ceiling, which was painted to look like the night sky. However, not all the planets were up, as the one that could have been satern had snaped from it's cord and smashed into the floor below. Another heavenly body had broken lose, but it wasn't a planet

It was one of the lost employees,  the-fat-red-dragon! Red had been one of the empolyees that had been onstage with Draco when Xanark's prototype portal device had malfunctioned and sent all of them, along with others into this strange world.

Draco was about to call out to Red when a red furry arm poked out from beneith the plumb dragon's body. Draco didn't need to guess who that was as the figure was reveled when Red got to his feet. Looking some-what squished was  greggrth! Draco took another quick look around the room, hoping to see the other members from the labs hidding inside, but alas, there was only Greg and Red. Oh well, at least he had found 2 of them.

"RED! GREG!" called out Draco as he tried to weasle his greens snoot through the hole. But it was like trying to fit a square into a trianguar hole. However, it had the desired results.

"Moommmy?" asked a clearly out to lunch Greg as he got to his feet.

"Boss?" called out Red, who as draco got a better look at his big employee, seemed some how bigger then ususal.

"Over Here!" called draco again, this time shining his light thorugh the hole. This time there was no question that Red and Greg (who had come to his senses) had heard him. Following the light, Both the dragon and the fox were up against the hole.

"Boss, it is you!" said Red as he peeked out of the hole.
"Draco? thank the gods you're here" said Greg as he shoved Red out of the way.
"get in line" said Red as he shove Greg back.

"Mates! quit it!" said Draco. "Now then, it's good to see you both again, i was afraide that I was all on my own out here."
"me too." Said Greg
"meth, i'm just glad to be off that bloodly moble" said Red as he looked back at where Mars should have been.

After a hour or so of swaping stories, and finding out that neither Greg or Red had seen any of the other lamplight lab employees, Draco asked if they had heard or had seen anything out of the ordenary. Strangley, neither one had heard the strange scream.

"So..." said Draco as he looked at his employees, "is there anyway to open this door on your end?"

Red looked at Greg looked right back at Red.

"You mean we'er locked in here?!" they both asked in unision.

"well, you could try knocking down the door."

"Why don't you knock it down Draco?" asked Greg. "you could just grow big and-
"Tried that, doesn't work here"

"Bugger" said Greg.

Just then, Draco noticed something odd about Red. He seemed to almost glow for a split second. Then there was a sort of "bloop" sound and Red seemed to inflate slightly. In truth, the Red and white dragon had spontainously grown about 6 inches in all directions. the sudden, but slight growth caused Greg to be knocked to the floor and caused almost the entire wall to fall out around Draco.

It was at this moment that the green dragon realized that it wasn't just the employees from the lab that had got sucked in, but their projects and inventions as well...
If draco remebred corectly, there were two inventions that could have caused this growth. It could have been either Red's inflatio gun or  thegrape's grow and blow bubble gum.

As the dust settled from the wall falling, Draco asked Red if he had seen any of those inventions recently.

"ER... bubble gum...?" asked Red with a sheepish look on his face. "well, i did get hungry hanging up there, and there was this gum that fell from the ceiling... well um..."

Needless to say, Red swallowed the grow and blow. Thankfully, the stuff was only a protype but was not ment to be swallowed. How big Red would end up getting was anybody's guess, but for now it seemed that the Red and White fattly had stablized. Now with night falling and the light dissapating, three of our heros have been reunited.
