Max, Emmy and Enrique don't have school today, but they are joining the dragons at the School in the Sky. Quetzal was going to read them the story of Prince Griffin and the Golden Unicorn, about Dragon Lands' greatest hero, but it turns out that he has to leave for the day to attend a conference on the other side of Dragon Land. He leaves the class in the hands of his former student Ms. Tipps, a nymph with an always-excited-sounding voice and her own special way of doing things. At first, everyone finds it hard to get used to Ms. Tipps' changes, but Lorca especially misses Quetzal's way of doing things. Still, he finds himself enjoying some of the new things and finds his fear of Ms. Tipps' changes lessening.
