Make No Mistake - Max can hardly contain his joy-he just got the lead role in the School in the Sky play! He's so excited about the lights, the sets and the costumes that he hasn't even thought about the audience or even the possibility of making a mistake-until he overhears Zak telling Wheezie how embarrassing it could be to mess up in front of everybody. Suddenly, Max is paralyzed with fear. He definitely doesn't want to make a mistake in front of all those dragons! Noticing his apprehension, his friends tell him not to worry-everyone makes mistakes. They even suggest ways to make him less nervous, like taking deep breaths. Max is still scared. When Ord and Quetzal both slip up on stage and laugh it off, Max realizes that even the most confident of his friends can make mistakes. In spite of his fears, and even a small mistake, Max takes center stage. The Balancing Act - Emmy is excited about taking her new skateboard to Dragon Land. When Ord sees what Emmy has brought with her, he wants to try to skate, too. Emmy's happy to share, so Quetzal sprinkles the skateboard with Gro-water to make it dragon-size. Ord tries, but doesn't have very good balance, and as he falls, the skate board shoots out from under him. He feels terrible about losing Emmy's skate board, and the gang heads out to find it. Along the way, Ord encounters many instances that call for him to try to balance. When they finally discover Emmy's board, Ord has practiced his balancing enough so that he can have fun riding the skateboard.
