Chapter 1: A Vacation
I'm so gonna dominate the competition, Jake thought. He snickered as he watched his "competition" slip and fall off their skateboards. Jake was entering a skateboard contest. If you won, you would skateboard with pro-boarder, Tommy King, at a world famous skate
park. Plus, you would learn a new trick from him, win $10,000, and finally, you would also win Tommy King's lucky skateboard. With his happy thoughts, Jake skated home.
"What?!?" yelled Jake.
"Your Dad and I are going away for a week. So, you, Hailey, and your grandfather's dog are going to stay with my lifelong friend in Orchid Bay" Mrs. Long repeated herself.
"Wait, why does Fu Dog have to come?"
"Jake, your Grandfather is also taking a vacation"
"Why does Gramps have to go?"
"Everyone needs to take a vacation once in awhile"
"Why does it have to be during the new skateboarding contest though? Spud, Trixie, and I have been practicing for weeks, now!"
"I'm sorry Jake, but there's nothing to do about it now"
Mrs. Long got up from the dinner table and went upstairs.
"Aww, man!" Jake complained.
"But you'll miss the new skateboard, and the chance for $10,000, and the chance to skateboard with pro-boarder, Tommy King, and-" Before Spud could continue, Jake cut him off. "Spud?" Jake asked. "Yes?" Spud replied.
"Shut up"
"Ok, but I'm just saying you'll miss that chance to learn that awesome new trick from Tommy King" Spud pointed out.
Jake groaned.
"I'm sure it will be fun" Mrs. Long told Jake as she got in the taxi. "Who knows? We might stay even longer" Mrs. Long laughed. A few minutes later the taxi drove off. Another taxi came and picked them up. It drove all the way to the JFK airport.
An hour later..
"Orchird Bay is on the other side of the country, I can't believe mom and dad are actually sending us here!" Jake complained.
The taxi came to a sudden stop. "We're here" Fu Dog whispered to Jake. They stepped out of the taxi and came face to face with Juniper, Ray Ray, and Monroe.
