Nora helps her father back to their lighthouse home where Lampie tells Nora that a boy was with this dragon he saw. She and the patrons of the tavern don’t believe him because he’s so drunk. His daughter, Nora, arrives at the tavern looking for her father, and Lampie tells her all about the dragon he saw. After realizing he’s seen a dragon, Lampie freaks out and runs back to the tavern to tell everyone he saw a dragon. Just then, drunken Lampie walks out of the tavern next to Pete and Elliott’s hiding spot and comes face to face with Elliott. Elliott turns visible again, and Pete scolds him for getting them into so much trouble. Pete gets blamed for it, along with all the other damage Elliott caused while invisible, so he and Elliott run off and hide. Meanwhile, Elliott slips the teacher’s petticoat onto a loose nail in the side of a building, which causes the teacher’s skirt to tear away when she walks off. When the school teacher, Miss Taylor, learns Pete isn’t in school, she scolds him. Pete instructs Elliott to stay invisible so as not to scare anyone, but even while invisible Elliott causes trouble for the people in town. After spending the night in the woods, Pete and Elliott enjoy a breakfast of apples and head to the coastal town of Passamaquoddy. The Gogans try to lure Pete out of hiding, but Elliott, still invisible, whacks them into the mud and scares them off. Orphan Pete rides his invisible dragon, Elliott, through a forest to escape the Gogans-his abusive adoptive family who treat Pete like a slave.
