Pete's Dragon Page #5

Well, it's when you make

someone up in your head

so that you have someone to talk to.

It keeps you from being lonely.

- Are they funny?

- Sure.

Do they fly?

I guess they can do whatever

you want them to.

That's what make them imaginary.

Are you my imaginary friend too?

I'm real.

So is Elliot.

(CHUCKLES) Good job, buddy.

(RUMBLING, CLATTERING)

Mommy, there's a monster outside.

(GIRL CHUCKLES)

(THUDDING)

I need to get back to him.

- He get scared when I'm gone.

- He looks like a dragon.

- What's a dragon?

- That's a dragon.

- Like the song.

- What song?

There's a song that my dad used to sing.

It's about dragons

and where they live.

Go north, go north,

with wings on your feet

Go north, with the wind,

where the three rivers meet

Now plant yourself down,

by the tallest of trees

Measure the stars shining,

one, two, and three

Look all around you and see

Deep in the forest,

there dragons will be

Deep in the forest,

there dragons will be

- What's north?

- It's a direction.

How do you get there?

Well, you could look at the map

or you could follow North Star.

If you follow it as far as you possibly can,

you get to the mountains.

And that's where you find them.

The dragons I mean.

(KNOCKING ON THE DOOR)

Hey.

I haven't heard that song in forever.

Natalie, do you think I could

talk to Pete alone for a moment?

Okay.

See you in a minute, Pete.

Hey, come here.

You found this for me, didn't you?

Where the trees went away.

My dad gave this to me

on my tenth birthday,

so that if I've ever got lost,

I know how to find my way back home.

Pete, honey.

Do you remember how you got to the woods?

It's a long time ago, isn't it?

We were on an adventure.

You know, I lost my mom when

I was not much older than you.

I know how hard it can be.

But I want you to know,

you're not alone.

- I know.

- You do?

I have Elliot.

Can you tell me more about Elliot?

Who is he?

He's my friend.

This is Elliot?

He must be a very special friend.

He doesn't like most people.

- But I think he'd like you.

- He would?

- You'll see. Tomorrow.

- Tomorrow.

When I go home.

You're coming with me, right?

Of course.

You're very brave.

Did you know that?

You might be the bravest boy I've ever met.

(RUSTLING)

(BELLOWING)

(KNOCKING ON THE DOOR)

Gavin?

- Jack...

- What happened to you?

You remember those stories

that Meacham used to tell us?

About dragons?

He wasn't make it 'em up.

We track it, there was a tree-house.

I tried to shoot it, but it just rip

the gun right out of my hands

and bend it like it was nothing.

Gavin, I can't just head up to the woods

in the middle of the night,

because you think you saw a dragon.
