Thanks for the reviews yet again. I finally have come up with a title for the next story. American freshman: Jake Long.. wait's for something yeah I know the title is kinda lame but oh well.
Jake flew around the docks with Fred Nerk by his side. "Why does the bad guys lair always have to be at a dock, or warehouse?" Jake asked himself. He and Fred had set out early to find where they were keeping Rose in attempt to rescue her. "If all turns for the worse, you get Rose out." Fred Nerk turned to Jake and at first looked kinda confused. Then he smiled and said "So it's the Pirate code for us eh?" Jake smiled back before peeking his head into the window. There inside was the Dark dragon, Chang, and most importantly Rose.
Jake tapped Fred on the shoulder and pointed into the window. "There has to be a way in somewhere in back maybe." Fred turned and replied "I'll go look for an entrance..." As Fred flew away, Jake turned back to the window and watched as Chang began talking to Rose.
"So you're the American dragon's girlfriend huh? Too bad we'll soon control him." Rose knew that if she kept Chang talking it would give Jake a chance to rush in and save her. "Really, because I don't think you will be able to just by telling him to listen. He doesn't even listen to his parents on a daily basis." Rose grinned as Chang immediately began to reveal the plan. "I hope you get here soon Jake."
As Fred Nerk headed around back, he found an entrance to the back of the warehouse. "What's yous doing here?" Fred turned to face Jake's old helper monkey. "I'm helping my friend." It took Bananas too long to figure out what Fred meant. So by the time he had figured out what was going on; Fred had already tied him up and gagged his mouth. "There that ought to hold you. Come on mate, I found the back entrance."
"And so the Dark Dragon shall go gather our followers as we speak." Just then there was a rushing of wings; in stepped Fred and Jake.
"Hi Chang, you miss me?" Jake mocked as he dragoned up yet again to fight off Chang. As Jake ducked, dodged, and hit back; Fred Nerk rushed to untie Rose. "You're that guy that's rivals with Jake?" Fred bowed his head replying "At your service mate."
Jake nearly got his head sliced as he jumped out of the path of Chang's staff. "We will meet again American dragon, and that day you will not win." She said beginning to fly off into the sky. Jake tried to go after her but it was too late; she was gone. Even Bananas had gotten away. Jake felt upset with himself. He hadn't captured either the Dark Dragon or his assistant. Rose rushed up to him and deeply embraced him with a hug. "I'm sorry, if I had been paying more attention to what was happening I would have never ended up the damsel in distress." Jake chuckled. "Why not, I enjoy rescuing you."
Soon Jake faced the World Dragon Council; he knew if he confessed to purposely sabotaging his chances of being moved up maybe the most that would happen would be a punishment. Or two.
"So you see the only reason I behaved that way was because I couldn't dream of leaving New York yet. Not my family, not my friends, and especially not Rose." Jake confessed as he begged the council for him to be able to go back.
"American dragon, we have decided that since you behaved so childish about moving away from the ones you love. We concluded your not ready to move up in training." The head councilor looked down at Jake and winked. "So you will resume training with Lao shi back in New York City as soon as you get back."
Later at the going home party that the World Dragon Council threw to give the students a very nice last night in London. Jake located Rose over at the punch bowl. "Care to dance?" he asked out stretching his hand to hers. Rose smiled and allowed Jake to take her hands and lead her to the dance floor, but instead Jake led her up to the roof. He left her side to run over to the boom box and pressed play. Just then a gentle melody filled the air and soon Jake was holding her tightly as they swayed in the night air. Rose lifted her head from his shoulder and looked directly at him.
"Listen Jake, there's been something I've been dieing to tell you. Ever since we used to meet in the Dream realm for our dates; there was that dream where we were in Hawaii and I was about to say something to you."
"Oh yeah, you said you would never be able to say it to me in real life. What were you going to say?" Rose bit her lip. She had been planning to tell him all along but, what if he didn't feel the exact same. Finally she drew up the courage.
"I love you."
Jake smiled deeply and replied "I love you too and I'm not just saying it because you did.." Rose shut him up with a kiss. They soon resumed back to dancing as the time drifted away.
The End. (Wow, I can't believe I actually finished a story that quickly.)
