After the expo day everyone went home to rest and the next day is Sunday for most people but not for Jake. Saving a troll so that he could go on a date with his Aunt Patchouli and cleaning up his ferocious hairy mess left Jake without any sleep and he actually slept till 1 P.M. and there was no interruption of his sleep.
Jake is skateboarding through the street and listening to Akuma no ko(Instrumental) by Erenn Myers while thinking. Sometimes Jake wonders which guy came up with the idea of a system of one single dragon taking care of a hidden country wide magical community of millions on his own. From dumpster diving to toilet plumbing everything is done by one single dragon. Everyone depends on the American dragon but who does the American dragon depends on that no one asks.
In other countries dragons have the support of their entire family but the American dragon's father's side is non existent and only has an aunt who can't see the difference between one eyes and three eyes. Mother's side is filled with people who can only criticise his work and compare him with a stubby winged buck toothed Ork green bastard and who probably can only count till 5 and yes I'm talking about Gregory.
That bastard is a genius because he is fully magical and Chinese. But because I am half dragon and half human I'm nothing. But Jake then begins to comfort himself by saying to himself that he has friends and parents who actually care about him and gramps may be strict but he also genuinely cares for him. Now it's time to chill with my friends in her house now don't get me wrong living at the highest point of a skyscraper is magnificent but sometimes a little down to earth also feels nice.
Jake knocks at the door of the Carter residence and Trixie's mother opens the door. She welcomes Jake into her house. Spud and Trixie are playing video games at the LS-01 and it was Space Marines 1.
(P.S- No Warhammer 40k lore exists in this version of American dragon Jake Long) The blood, the violence, the xenophobia is just intense and Trixie literally tricked her super busy mother into buying it. Jake's dad has created such a grimdark setting that Warhammer 40k has become a worldwide sensation in the entire world within 2 days.
Demands for books, action figures, table top pieces are just intense. The first novel Fall of the federation was sold a solid billion copies, second book Unification of Terra 2 billion copies sold worldwide and it's twisted in ways that it makes even a grown man shiver and lets not talk about the Imperium of Man versions. Now Jake, Spud and Trixie are playing multiplayer mode and fighting an Ork infestation and finally they complete the objectives successfully. Trixie yelled," Take those ugly green skins. Y'all feelin the wrath of the Carter marine." She excitedly kicked off a cushion which bounced around and it knocked off the Suitton crystal vase.
During that time Trixie's mom already left. "Oh no, oh no that was my dad's gift to my mom when both of them met for the first time and it was one of a kind." Claimed Trixie.
" No it's not. It's 5 out of 100. So, we just need to find another one." Said Spud. Let's get us a super rare antique crystal vase and they found one at an antique shop. The salesman said," Ah, excellent choice sirs and madame this is an antique Suitton crystal vase. It only costs 500 dollars. Should I wrap it up?" " Uh, how does 300 sound my man?" Asked Jake.
" Sorry sir, this one is not negotiable." Replied the salesman. Three of them were left disappointed. But at that moment Trixie asked," Where the heck did ya get so much cash Jakey, hmm?" "That's my monthly allowance. I mean sure it's not much but it's still enough for me and I get lunch from home all the time and it's nice not to be outdone by Brad."
" Let me guess, you blew 200 bucks at the expo?" Asked Trixie and Jake just gave an awkward laugh. " Now let's think about how to make 500 bucks." Said Spud." Uh, you mean 200 bucks?" Said Jake. " Jakey you keep the money as backup and let's see if I can scrape up a few bucks. After all, I can't just depend on y'all to fix ma mistakes." Replied Trixie.
A few business ventures later:
"599,600. That's 600 cents meaning we made 6 dollars after investing 50 dollars we had. Now we have lost more money than we made." Said Spud. " There's gotta be something we can do." Said Jake and put his hands in his jacket's pocket and at that moment he found a crumpled piece of paper which turned out to be Rotwood's leaflet for the evidence of supernatural creatures and the reward is 500 dollars. Jake said," Yo, I found a way and I'm gonna go and get the money." Jake didn't wait for a reply and took off.
He reached home and came to the roof along with Haley. Jake turned into his chinese dragon with western style wings form and Haley took pictures of various positions. He took the pictures to Rotwood and Rotwood simply tore them up and the reason is actually valid. In his defence, no magical creature will let anyone take such clear pictures. So, Jake tried with his scales and nails but because they don't glow in the dark they are fake. Jake now thoroughly annoyed was walking through the footpath and suddenly heard a cry for help in a thick Irish accent and of course huntsgirl aka Miss headache has cornered the poor Leprechaun again and tried to steal his pot of lucky gold.
Jake bought time for the Leprechaun to escape but that slippery minx just ninja threw him to the wall of a building and the unconscious Jake in his dragon form fell in front of Spud and Trixie.
Trixie & Spud Pov:
" Man, how are we gonna get that 500 bucks for that vase?" Asked Trixie." Maybe we can paint houses. Wait we already did that." Said Spud. At that moment a long red winged creature fell in front of them. Both of them screamed," My mom's Lasagna/ A big red lizard." Trixie picked up a stick and poked the snout of the creature to see if there was any reaction but there was none. The thing was knocked out cold. "Whoa, a dragon." Said Spud. He lifted the upper jaw and a torrent of flame came out and then the dragon farted a torrent of flame from it's behind." It breathes fire from both ends. So, cool." Exclaimed Spud.
At that moment a flyer floated on the wind in front of them and it was Rotwood's flyer. Both of them hauled the dragon to Rotwood's garage/home/lab. Spud and Trixie bartered with Rotwood and finally got 1500 dollars for the dragon. Both of them quickly made their way to Jake's home. Haley let them in Jake's room after a 100 dollar bribe. She also told them about Jake's secret teddy bear collection. Both of them saw Jake's old laptop which is yet to be replaced and in it were the pictures of Jake transforming into a dragon. Trixie said," Man, did we just sell our friend to Rotwood for a measley 1500 bucks? We are the worst friends ever." "Yeah, now I feel even more guilty because it turns out Jake is my mom's Lasagna." They tried to give Rotwood his money back but he refused. Later Trixie and Spud told Lao Shi the truth and they tried to save Jake but he got away.
Then they got a cab driver to reach the Hoboken Scientific Institute in 10 minutes and they reached Jake. Jake tried to scare them off by trying to be a big scary dragon but Trixie busted his bubble and told him about their plans to outwit Rotwood using a dragon suit and five 100 dollar bills.
Jonathan Pov:
I'm currently in Hoboken Scientific Institute following a guy named Sigmund Brock who has created a chemical called Brockium and he's explaining to me why I should invest in his research and how he will make me more rich and I have a business smile plastered on my face and this is a skill that costs 100000 AP in the shop and it's worth every AP.
I just want to create a vaccine for that Brockium and put this guy in jail but I must control myself as my nanites have analyzed his Brockium and he just escorted me out and at that moment I saw a red haired guy giving a speech in thick German accent to a bunch of reporters and behind him is an armoured truck and at that moment I remembered Rotwood's thesis where he caught Jake and I saw Trixie and Spud giving him a costume and 500 dollars and at that moment I understood their plan.
3rd person Pov:
Rotwood is preparing to open his truck and in his mind he is receiving the Nobel prize in mythozoology and he is the first person to receive the Nobel prize for that specific scientific field. As he is opening the door, he could not help but say," I now present to you ze dragon."
At that moment all his dreams are shattered as he hears one of the voices that haunts him in his dreams and that voice said," Uh, Mr. Rotwood can I get out of the dragon costume it's getting sweaty in here." "It's Professor Rotwood, Mr. Long." He yelled subconsciously and he was exposed and at that moment a punch fell on his right face and he heard the voice of an adult male voice saying," Son!!! Why are you at the back of an armoured delivery truck?"
" Well, I took a job of pretending to be a dragon and Mr. Rotwood said he would pay me 500 bucks and I needed the money for a friend." Jonathan lifted him up by grabbing his collar and said," You're going to the slammer for a long long time."
But Jake and his friends interjected and gave an excuse of his necessity and Jonathan accepted it. But he vowed to get a restraining order against Rotwood which will prevent him from approaching Jake anywhere except the classroom and he will be unable to give him detention. Jonathan took the five 100 dollar bills that Rotwood presumably gave him and Jonathan gave them to the police so that they can check the numbers to see if they were withdrawn from the bank account of Hans Rotwood. The police was taking Rotwood to the police car and at that moment Lao Shi and Fu dogg came in a cab. Jonathan took them to the car and explained why he was at Hoboken Scientific Institute and how he found Jake and explained how Jonathan's curiosity saved Jake.
Hans Rotwood POV:
"Currently I'm working on ze new theory of a dragon's natural ability to shape shift into a human form." Said Rotwood to a recorder and at that moment the two goons looked menacingly at Rotwood and he just gulped hard.
