They look around.
KAJI (V.O.): This place is huge. I've never been here.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I can detect the smells of other dogs along the road. Let me take the lead.
Kaji finds the way.
A beat.
Waiting at a lift lobby, they see a door opening.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Should we get in?
PETER & PACK LEADER : Step inside.
After their stepping in, the door closes. Kaji is circling around.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): It seems that we're being trapped inside this rectangular capsule.
Kaji sees things around her moving up.
KAJI (V.O.): What's happening?
We hear Peter and the pack leader talking: The first time she takes a lift nearly all by herself!
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Oh, the door opens again by itself.
Peter & PACK LEADER : Get out now.
Kaji gets out.

They walk faster and faster.

The party arrive at the entrance.
KAJI (V.O.): Here we're! The strip is huge and long.
We see a big sign "13" on the ground and an aircraft in the vicinity.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Oh my wings are ready. My dream can take flight!
As Kaji eyes turn skyward, FRIENDS come over to greet her.
Later, as a flashing ball is being thrown in the air, they begin chasing and jumping at it.
Kaji: I'm taxiing. Do I have permission to take off?
PETER: Shall we let go her leash?
PACK LEADER: Don't know if she'd runaway for good...you've to chase her.
PETER: We've to train her anyway.
Peter lets go the leash as they approach the aircraft.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Romeo, I'm taking off...up, up and away!
Kaji jumps up in the air again and again.

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Having touched the sky, my soul is still there.
