"You too, Doc" replied his scaly best friend.
The two started walking home, the doctor in front of his best friend and colleague. Everyday walking home they attracted many, viewers, to say the least. It was near impossible for people not to hear the sound of the dinosaurs loud stomps as they multiplied for miles.
I`m ready for this winter to be over, muffled the dinosaur.
"Ha, it's just starting Charlie" replied the doctor.
Charlie hated winter, everything about it irked him.
"You would think those tough feet of yours would be accustomed to the snow" said the doctor.
"Very funny" replied and unimpressed Charlie.
"Better toughen up if you want to be ready for tomorrow " said the doctor.
The next day the dinosaur and the doctor had a big day ahead. They were travelling to Greenland for an important conference.
"Nice try! I'm not going to that, it's even colder there!" said Charlie. "I already told you, I'm not going"
"Come on Charlie" replied the seemingly disappointed doctor. "How else will I get there?"
"Guess you'll have to figure that out" said Charlie.
The rest of the walk home was quiet. The only thing you could hear was the spitting cold wind.
When they got home Charlie went straight into his barn and the doctor went into his house, neither saying a word to the other.

" Morning C" said John, turning on the lights.
A tired and confused Charlie replied "Hey John" as he starts to wake up.
After a while John and Charlie finished their breakfast and waited to see who would talk about the elephant in the room first.
"So I've been thinking..." said John, playing with his fork and leftover food. "I think that this conference is a really good idea for us..."
"Stop John" interrupted Charlie.
"No, think about it" John replied. "We could get a promotion and maybe after that..."
"I'm not going" said Charlie.
A piercing ring interrupted the awkward silence that followed. The doctor ran up to pick up the phone.
"Hello, Dr. John speaking"
Charlie tried to decipher the conversation, but found it hard hearing only one side.
"Now?" questioned the doctor. "but we have that conference to go to."
A slight grin came upon Charlie's face.
"FIne. We're on our way" said the frustrated doctor hanging up the phone.
"Get ready Charlie, we have a 411"
The code 411 meant emergency in the hospital world.
"Hopefully this doesn't take long, pack your bag quickly and let's go."
John grabbed his bag and Charlie packed his suitcase as asked. They ran outside and John jumped onto the large dinosaur.
"Let's go Charlie" yelled John "we're going to 168 Alliant Road"
The anticipation of the dinosaur taking flight had the whole neighborhood starring out their windows. A loud wind and flapping sound started and soon enough the doctor and dinosaur were in the air. The address was only a short flight away and within 10 minutes they had landed.
The doctor jumped off of the dinosaur and rushed into the small bungalow.
"Hello, a doctor was called" John said, nearly yelling as he ran into the house.
A small woman with brown hair and a small figure respond "the emergency is here."
The doctor looked confused, he didn't see anyone in need of help. He started to look over his shoulder and around the room.
"No, here!" said the woman pointing down to her lap.
Sitting in her lap was a little cat who looked to have a broken leg.
The doctor sighed and said "Ma'am, I'm an emergency doctor, not a veterinarian."
"Please help us doctor! I can't live without him." replied the woman, starting to sob.
The doctor took a minute to figure out what to do. "I'll tell you what. I'll take you over to a vet, but we have to leave right now." he said.
"Thank you doctor, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" replied the grateful woman.
Within the next half hour the dinosaur, his doctor colleague, the woman and her cat had landed at the vet.
"You don't know how thankful I am for your help" said the woman getting off of the dinosaur.
"You're welcome, just don't call the hospital next time" replied the doctor as he winked at the woman.
The doctor jumped off the dinosaur and patted him on the chest. "Good work buddy" he said. "Now since we have our bags packed..."
"I've been thinking during our, trip, today and I think that if it's that important to you... I'll go" said Charlie.
"Charlie! You have no idea what that means to me" replied John.
And the next thing they knew, they were headed to Greenland on a trip to the conference. They stayed there for a week, having more fun than they could have imagined. When they arrived home a week later, John got a call. He had been offered a job in Australia, which payed extremely well. Both John and Charlie were winners. John got a better job, and Charlie got his better weather.
"Well Charlie, guess we're headed to Australia." said John.
"Guess so!" replied Charlie.
