30 Perfect Kisses
Author's Note/ Warnings/ Commander of the Limited Space of which you see- To be truthful this is my first time writing an American Dragon: Jake Long fic so I am nervous. I had never done anything like this before. And I mean NEVER! I had been a GIANT fan of the show since forever and it was my dream to write a Jake/ Rose story. Don't you just agree that they are the CUTESET couple ever? I am just obsessed with stories involving both of them!
So one day when I was recovering from my sugar rush addictive-ness, I woke up with this great idea for a story. It was the greatest creation of my mind, or the side effects of the sugar.
That happened after I saw The Academy episode so there is going to be a lot references to that show. Also this story is going to have a mind of its own and if I see new episodes of American Dragon then I'm might add them in.
I'm a little bit surprised that not that many people did any stories on The Academy. I mean when Ski Trip came out everybody went crazy writing fics here and there. But there are not that many fics on The Academy!
So how is this different from my other stories? I have no idea. I just hope that everyone will like it.
Jake- Like that will ever happen.
Author- Shut up you!
Jake- I just came to tell you that Fu is raiding your supplies again.
Author- What? FU DOG! Lay off the chili and go on a diet!
Fu Dog is sitting on a mountain of junk food, fast food and other unhealthy items.
Fu- In your dreams sister! There's nothing in the world that you can do! the author uses her magical powers to make all the food disappears NOOOOO!
And now I give you this story:
30 Perfect Kisses!
Disclaimer- I don't own American Dragon: Jake Long. Otherwise, Spud and Trixie would get together already. Rose and Jake would have kissed AGES AGO! And Fu Dog would lay off the chilidogs already.
Summary- Takes place after The Academy. Rose is still wondering if Jake truly loves her, so she decides to find out. All she has to do is get 30 kisses from Jake. However, that is going to be a problem. Especially with these weird feelings coming up and strange mystery, that links her to her birthmark.
A single breeze flew from the window; making the young girl tightens the sheets around her cold shivering shoulders. The apartment was far from clean and it was no place to live in.
The floor was dirty and there were deep dark stains; no one dared questioned how they got there. The walls had peeling paint and it needed a new fresh coat of paint. There were dishes and other items that were chuck carelessly into the sink. The water was leaking The Sixth Great Lake from the pipes.
The window was huge and a cold morning breeze aroused the girl sleeping in the bed. All of a sudden the alarm rings from the nearby clock placed on floor next to the mattress. Rose signs heavily using her hand to slam on the snooze button. Minutes later, the back-up alarm rings.
"I'm up. I'm up." she groaned to no one. "I hate Mondays."
Rose slowly got out of bed, dragging the bed sheet with her. Crawling into the bathroom, while moaning all the way, she grimed when she realized that school was only an hour away. Crawling into the shower, she awaited for the warm water to embrace her body.
This was the only time when she could figure out the things going on in her life.
She started wondering the position she was in when the warm water hit her body.
Three months ago, it was the Grand Equinox Hunt. She was order to kill the American Dragon during this hunt, so she could fulfill her destiny. However, Fate had another path for her, when she was just about to kill the dragon she made a discovery. She had found out that American Dragon, her enemy, and Jake Long, her long time crush was the one and same person (or dragon, depends on how you see it).

She stood there savoring her, about to be, first slaying of a dragon. The dragon was tied tithe tree and secured. The moonlight caught the glint of her staff, its edge shone a deadly blue and it showed its sharpness. Once it was over maybe the Hunts master could leave her alone. And I can live a normal life...with Jake. She thought.
"It's over Dragon! Say Good-bye!" she shouted into the air. Signifying the end was near for the American Dragon.
The American Dragon eyes widen to large proportions, and they showed something like fear. But it was not fear for himself, it was fear for her. The next words out of his mouth surprised her.
"Rose, no!"
Rose froze. She was just about to attack when she heard the words of her name come out of his mouth. How did he know?
"Wh - What did you call me?"
"Rose, if you want to say goodbye, say it to my human face."
And with that he transform down to his human state. Her eyes widen immediately. She knew who he was almost instantly. That black hair, the green highlights, and those chocolate brown eyes, that...face. No it couldn't be!
Jake stood there tied to the tree and was smiling sadly in the moonlight. "Rose it's me."
"Jake?"

Torn between killing Jake and fulfilling her destiny (and killing the love of her life) and setting Jake free yet having the Hunts master on her back, she decided that she should do the best thing. She regretted nothing she had done. However, the Hunts master wasn't so pleased.
When he figured out that, she didn't slay the dragon he got mad and send her to the Hunts clan Academy to learn more. Or as he stated "It's for your own good!"
She had been trapped there for more than three months when Jake had busted her out. After "slaying" the American Dragon the Hunts master agreed that Rose could return to New York. However he didn't leave out the fact that she was going to be followed around for her 'protection'.
She was able to rent a place of her own and live there because she was the Hunts master niece and had her own needs.
Getting out of the shower and dressing in her trademark clothes, Rose was brought to her next big problem that was taking over most of her life.
Jake.
She was out of school for the week; she was rather busy finding a location for her new apartment. During that time Rose didn't spent a minute not thinking about Jake. He was in her mind all the time.
She had to admit that when she first came to New York the first boy that caught her eye was Jake. What was there not to like about him? He was cute, funny and everything she could ever wish for. At first it was a small crush that was barely above puppy love. But she realized that she was slowly beginning to fall in love with him. His smile and face haunted her waking moments. But she started to wonder if he really did love her.
She loved him. That was the most important thing that she ever knew. She didn't care if the Huntsman found out and kicked her out. Jake was the most important person that she ever knew and no one in the entire world can change that.
But what were his feelings for her?
That was what she wanted to know. His feelings were more important than her past or anything she had ever tried to understood.
And that kiss didn't help matters.

"Are you ready for this?"
That was the question he had asked. In truth she would never be ready for anything like this. There was away a chance for something bad to happen. And it usually does.
"I hope you know what you are doing." she said. Underneath the statement was a large amount of hidden concern for him. Then she asked for the final time-
"Any last request?"
The plan was all set in motion yet Rose still knew that there might not be enough time for
Jake to find the potion. She was thankful that he was helping getting her out of the Academy, but still...
He power down to his human form and lifted her mask up.
"Only one."
And with that he lean in, closing the space between them, and kissed her.

The kiss was nothing like she had imagined. It was her first kiss so it meant everything to her that she kissed Jake first.
His lips were feathery light wings that rested on her lips. Soft and strangely demanding, but then again he had waited all this time. She found that they tasted like sugar and happiness mixed together into an addicting mixture. Rose could still taste the sweetness of the mixture.
It penetrated into her mind and a strange feeling began to fill her heart at the thought of it. Sixty different shades of red began to creep on her face. She had to fight down the urge to squeal and giggle.
After the kiss there was this feeling inside of her. A small burning desired to be with the person she loved. A burning for him. A burning for Jake Long.
The clock read 7:45. Another fifteen minutes until school starts. Oh boy. Might as well check the books I brought along. She hoped that something would distract her long enough to forget about Jake.
After ruffling through five magazines something caught her eye.

Rose was sure that God was laughing up there. Along with the other people up there.
How much of a coincidence is it that she happened to stumble across this page, especially relating with the problem going on in her life? She was stuck in a confusing modern Romeo and Juliet story; hell the first initials of their names were similar to Romeo and Juliet!
A million in one chance.
Like the same amount of chance that she would discover that she was in love with a boy that transform in to the American Dragon, and that she was supposed to slay him.
However the article did arouse a small amount of interest in her. This was the perfect time to find out the feelings that Jake might have for her. The perfect decoy. Rose grinned to herself quickly making up a plan.
Digging an empty notebook out of her book bag she quickly jotted on the surface of the white paper.
30 Perfect Kisses
Mission-Get 30 kisses from a boy to see if he loves me!
Target- Jake Long
Kiss #1-
Kiss- Lips
Location- Hunts clan Academy Battle Arena, before the 'death' battle
Results- Short, sweet and perfect. I can't believe my first kiss was Jake. Amazingly during a dumb play he can't even kiss me, but before a life or death match he summons up the guts! There were sparks everywhere and he was demanding yet so kind and gentle. Like a pair of sugar wings pressed to your lips.
So what do you think about this chapter so far? Is it too sappy? Too long? Too boring?
Why am I bombarding you with these questions? Because I am so nervous about what you think about this story.
Rose- Calm down girl!
Author- Easy for you to say! All you have to do is kiss him!
Rose- You say that like as though it is the easiest thing in the world!
Author- It should be. Do you know how LONG I had to wait for you guys to finally kiss? There was Act 4 Scene 15 show, The Ski Trip show and Half- Baked! I was ripping my hair out in the tension! Then later I had to take a hair-growing potion, but that's another story. Do you know how many hints there were? DO YOU?
Rose- staring at a picture of Jake. Wait, what were you saying?
Author- Never mind. sweatdrop
Review please! And tell me what you think! If you have any ideas about what kind of kiss Rose and Jake should have, please tell me!
