When she realizes he is orphaned and not from the area, she offers him shelter at the lighthouse, and the two bond (“It’s Not Easy”). As they reconcile, Lampie's daughter Nora appears, warning that Pete is not safe there because of the incoming tide. In a seaside cave, Pete reprimands Elliott for causing trouble. They dismiss Lampie's claims as a drunken rant. Elliott makes himself visible and Lampie, terrified, runs to the townsfolk ("I Saw a Dragon"). Lampie, the lighthouse keeper, stumbles out of a tavern and encounters Pete. Pete and Elliott visit Passamaquoddy, where the unseen Elliott's clumsiness causes Pete to be labeled a source of bad luck. The next morning, Pete awakens and Elliott is revealed to be a large cartoonish green dragon that can turn invisible ("I Love You, Too"). After they abandon their search, Pete falls asleep. The family calls for Pete to return and promise they will treat him better, while contrastingly expressing their true intentions to punish him severely ("The Happiest Home in These Hills"). In New England in the early 1900s, an orphan named Pete flees the Gogans, his abusive foster family, with the assistance of an unseen force he calls Elliott.
