Sam has nearly won at a board game when his opponent, Owen, becomes preoccupied with what Stella is doing. When Sam goes outside to urge his friend to return, he's enticed by Stella to play a game that's bigger than the backyard.

Sam is fascinated to learn from Stella that the dragonfly perched on his shirtsleeve is really a baby dragon named Sparky. He's disappointed when it suddenly flies away. A search reveals hundreds of other baby dragons playing hide and-seek with Sparky.
