Chapter 11 - 11. The paradoxical scarab beetle will be squashed

Rose is amazed by Jake's home. Sure, she is also currently living on the top floor of a high rise building but on the floor that Jake lives you can see the clouds floating. Rose came forward and saw the sea of white through the glass.

Jake came beside her and said," Beautiful isn't it? I'm still not used to waking up and seeing this beautiful scene. It gets more beautiful at night because dad used a special glass of his own making that can filter light pollution and make the stars visible. In the evening the stars will be visible. "Let's go and rehearse for tomorrow's play shall we?" Asked Jake." Sure, lead the way."said Rose. Jake and Rose came to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

" Nice aquarium. It's a unique choice to put an aquarium instead of a TV in the living room." Said Rose." Uh, it's actually a TV. It's one of the many prototypes of the products dad plans to release in the future and it's voice activated." Replied Jake sheepishly. " Wow, I mean wow. The fish looks so real even the tiny water bubbles and the swaying of the aquatic plants are animated so perfectly that it's actually incredible." Said Rose." You can actually change everything. This is the auto mode which shows a bunch of goldfish. I personally like the Beta fish mode. Turn on the Beta fish mode." Said Jake.

The goldfishes were replaced with beautiful Beta fishes of various colours and it looked even more mesmerising. Suddenly a voice came," Rose,what a pleasant surprise! Son, I know our home is beautiful but this is still not a place to bring your girlfriend to a date. Jakester, you should take her to a nice restaurant or a horse carriage ride at Central Park. Spending time at home is for married couples who have exhausted all of their youth." Both Rose and Jake turned their heads and when they saw me both of them became a stammering mess.

I raised my hands in surrender and said," Hey, don't mind my silly talk. Having fun is the most important thing." "No, dad it's not a date more like meeting up in order to practice our role as Antony and Cleopatra for the play." Replied Jake. I did a surprised 'Ohhh' and said," Are parents invited?" " Parents can come if they want to. Do you want to,dad? I know you and mom are busy and everything with tomorrow's upcoming tech expo where you will launch your products but I will be glad if you come." Said Jake with expectations shining in his eyes." Jakearoo, I founded Long Technologies for my family, not to tear myself apart from my family. I will come even if the world catches on fire and it's today isn't it?"

Jake nodded and at that moment a weird scarab beetle which was glowing flew in front of my face and I instinctively smashed it in the middle of my palms. Seeing their very magical scarab being smashed to disgusting mush both of their jaws dropped and at that moment I remembered that it was the resurrection scarab from Egypt. I said," J.A.R.V.I.S how did this disgusting dung beetle get in our home?" " It hitched a ride in master Jake's bag pack." Replied J.A.R.V.I.S.

" Incinerate Jakester's bag and books. I'll get him new ones." I said. " Wait! Don't incinerate Rotwood's book no copy of that exists in the market and he doesn't give extra." Said Jake.

" Huh? Doesn't the state department of education create the curriculum and provide the book list?" I genuinely asked. Both Jake and Rose shook their heads sideways." So, I will need to talk to your principal about this Rottmudd guy." I said with a sigh. Jake didn't correct me but Rose said," Mr. Long it's actually Rotwood, Hans Rotwood and he is our Mythology teacher." I sighed for the first time after my reincarnation after all Hans Rotwood is the very definition of the colour grey." Well, I'll leave you guys alone to practice your script and I'm going to wash my hands and also probably take a bath in the contamination scrubber at the lab to make myself feel clean." I said to the two lovebirds. I turn around and make my way towards the labs.

Jake and Rose pov:

" Um, I'm going to the toilet."both Jake and Rose said in unison. Jake went to his room and locked the door while Rose went to the toilet that is adjacent to the living room and locked the door. Jake took out his magical phone and dialed gramps and said," Gramps, dad squashed the magic scarab beetle and has probably incinerated it in his lab's contamination scrubber." Cheering in chinese and finally said," Forget about it. That species of beetle has caused nothing but trouble for centuries. I'm glad it's gone and it's the last of its kind which survived the flooding of Egypt. Take the day off young dragon." Gramps cut off the connection and Jake is contemplating about the point of his existence.

Rose also opened her huntsclan communicator and called the huntsmaster. The holographic projector shines and a tall guy wearing a dragon skull and a purple dress with a black fur cape is shown. He asks," Huntsgirl, what is the reason for communicating with me?" "Master, the scarab beetle has been destroyed by a ignorant person." " Very well, retrieve the remains." Said huntsman." I'm afraid he is a scientist and owns a contamination scrubber and he went there to clean himself because he thought its a big dung beetle." Replied Rose. The huntsman just stepped out and after ten seconds returned with a book which was labelled " Contamination scrubber 101" He started muttering," Radioactive substance sealed in lead and steel containers. Biological substance burned. Acidic and alkaline substance mixed with oppositie and vaporised." "The plan is cancelled take the day off huntsgirl." Said the huntsman.

" Yes, master." Replied Rose with obedience. Then both Rose and Jake came to the living room and started their dialogue practice and finally at the kiss scene they kissed while being red as tomato and Jonathan came to the living room after the scrubbing at that moment and when he saw that scene he immediately took out a HD camera and clicked photos which stunned the two lovebirds. Unlike the main American Dragon Jake Long episode Act 4, scene 15 here Jake and Rose acted in the scene and they kissed which deepened their bonds and I got genetic materials that can be used to study immortality. I just have to buy the knowledge of Entomology and Genetics.
