Alone In the World
My very first Haley based fanfic. Just thought about it, randomly while watching TV.
Note: I do not own American Dragon: Jake Long.
Chapter 1: Ditched
Little Haley Long stood out there in the park, all alone. A storm was coming; rain was pouring down onto her little body. She took out her hair ties, because the water was pulling down her pigtails.
She covered her arms with her hands, trying to keep warm. Though, it wasn't much help. Being as smart as she was, she could of foresaw this dangerous storm approaching. But not even two hours ago, it was sunny as day. Even how rainy and dark and cold it was, Haley stood out, waiting.
Her ever so trustful brother, Jake Long, promised her earlier this morning that he would help her on her dragon powers. Now normally Haley would have denied anything that involved Jake and her being in the same room, but this was different. Jake was the very first, American Dragon. His powers and skills surpassed her own. And with all the adventures and missions he has been on, his wisdom and strength has gone along way. More than ever, Haley dreamed of being just like her brother, someday. Secretly, Jake was Haley's hero.
Well, that's what Haley would have said this morning. But right now, the last thing on her mind was her brother being so heroic. Once again, Jake stood up Haley. And this sweet little girl looked forward to spending a day with her big brother. But as everything else in his life, he lied once again. And Haley actually had a feeling he would show up this time. An earlier conversation would prove him trustworthy in her eyes:
"Jake, do you think you can help me with some of my dragon powers this afternoon?" Haley stared at her big brother, as he poured milk into his cereal. Of course being so early in the morning, Jake wasn't paying attention. "Jake," she whispered.
Jake jumped from his seat. "Huh?"
"Jake, do you think you can help me improve on my dragon powers this afternoon?" Haley repeated herself.
Jake took a piece into his cereal. "Yeah…sure" he murmured with a mouth full of cheerios.
"Jake, are you listening to me?" Haley said, just to make sure Jake got the message.
"Yes, I'm listening to you!" Jake yelled out. "How about, Central Park, 2:00?"
"Okay!" Haley jumped into the air. But she wanted to make sure; his brother was going to go through this time. "2:00, for sure!?"
"Yes."
"Your not just saying that to get me to go and-"
"Haley, if you don't stop nagging me I won't-"
Haley walked over to her brother, and gave him a smile. "Okay fine I'll stop."
"Okay, so I will see you at 2:00, I guess." Jake said, trying to get Haley to leave him alone already.
"Alright!" Haley then went over, and gave him a hug. "I love you big brother!" Then trotted away.
But now that she thought about it, her brother didn't sound so trustworthy after all.
Haley ran over to a park bench, and sat there for now. She wouldn't have been soaking wet, if she would lie under a tree. But with the storm and the lightning, it was safer on the bench.
"Maybe he'll come; maybe he's just running late…" Haley said under her breathe, trying to keep her spirits up. But face it; no one could be two hours late. Haley knew she should have left an hour and a half ago, but something in her heart, was telling her to stay. Something was telling her, to trust her brother, this time. What a load of…well what do 9 year olds say…poop.
The rain started to get harder, piercing down on her fragile body. "Just five more minutes…" She whispered again, though she repeated this, every five minutes. She put her arms, over her head, to try and block the rain.
A loud crash of thunder rocked the entire city. Haley was puzzled; she had never seen a storm like this before. Something was telling her that this was just going to get worse. Finally, her instincts took over. She transformed into a dragon, and flew out of the park.
Haley barged into the front door, angry... Her parents looked from the kitchen, to see their sweet little girl soaking wet. "Hey honey…" Jonathan walked out from the kitchen. "…How did you get so… wet?" He said, being such a concerned father.
"Well I had to wait in the rain for-" Haley stopped talking. She didn't just want to say, I was waiting for Jake in the Park for dragon lessons, but he never showed up. Well, apart of her wanted to say the part that would get Jake in trouble. But just this morning, she felt like her brother was her biggest hero. This feeling wouldn't leave her mind. "Some friends…" She put on the fakest smile ever.
"Well okay sweetheart. But don't stay out in the rain too long, you'll get yourself sick." Jonathan scolded Haley, the proceeded back into the kitchen.
Tell me about it, Haley whispered to herself, and sighed. She then slowly walked up the stairs. "Let's see what my brother had to do, that was so important." Haley looked up to her brother's door. She then started banging on it, trying to get him to open. "Jake, open up!" She yelled, but it didn't help. Luckily, she knew how to break into Jake's room. She transformed her hand into dragon claws, then picked through the lock, with a talon.
Once it was unlocked, Haley rushed into the room. But to her surprise, no one was there. Haley pondered, to where Jake could have gone. "HALEY, JAKE DINNERS READY!!" Haley could hear her mom screaming from downstairs. Haley shut Jake's down, and ran down to the kitchen.
Haley sat down, and stared at the food in front of her. "Haley, where's your brother?" Susan wondered.
Haley gave a quick thought at what she should say. Should she tell her parents that Jake wasn't here, and he sneaked off somewhere, again? Or should she cover up Jake, and make him feel even sorrier for ditching her today. "Umm…Jake says he's not hungry." Haley laughed out, and dipped her spoon into her mash potatoes.
Twice Jake almost got in trouble today. And twice Haley lied to cover it up. Jake better appreciate, for what she has done. Because Haley was still pretty mad at her brother, for ditching her once again.
Just a little beginning of the story. I should update it in awhile... :)
