A New American Dragon

Note: I do not own AD: JL, but the name of the new dragon is mine and mine alone-no one take it!!! I figured I do a story I have thought out for a while, but am finally able to do it. Read and enjoy!!!!

Note: Takes place year after Hong Kong Longs-Jake is in high school.

Chapter 1: New Kid

School has just started, but this time Jake Long was happy now: he was now a high schooler. "No more junior school crap, especially Rotwood." He said to himself. Rotwood was always giving him a hard time, either with grades, tardiness, exposure of dragon self, etc. He got on his skateboard, and left his house for his new school.

About 3 blocks away, a young man walked out of his house. He was tall (6 ft.), big (230 lbs.) and was wearing a craig biggio jersey along with blue jeans shorts and black shoes.

"Might as well take my time. 45 minutes until school starts, and only 6 blocks to get there. As he was walking, two skaters whirled right past him, startling him and making him fall.

"Hold on spudinski. Look what you did." The young girl yelled at the other. She was about 5'7, black, and wore skateboarding pads and helmet. The other was tall, had brown hair, and was wearing a beanie.

"Sorry bro. Didn't see you there." The boy said as he helped him up. "No big. I should have seen you coming. "he replied. "oh, sorry. My name is Mark. I just moved here from Houston. And your names are?" Mark asked the two.

"I'm Trixie, and this is Arthur, otherwise known as Spud." She stated as she introduced them both.

"Nice to meet you. Well, I might as well get to school if I am to learn the groundwork so I can get to my classes on time." Mark said as he gathered his things to leave.

"Wait. Don't you have like a skateboard or something to get you there faster?" Trixie asked in wonderment-she didn't believe that Mark was going to walk.

"Yeah. I have a car, but-" Mark started to say, but Trixie and Spud were already going to the car. "Guess I'm driving then." Mark said to himself. He turned the ignition, pulled forward, and drove to the school, but halfway there, Trixie told him to stop and pull over. Mark wondered why until he saw a young asian kid, with a red jacket, blue jeans, and green hair with hair gel in it. "Yo Jakey. Get your butt in here so we can ride in style." Trixie said, and Mark realized that he was taking him too.

"Get in Jake." Mark said as he opened the door to let him in.

They arrived in school with "Highway to Hell" blaring on the radio, much to the dismay of the other three. "It's my car. I listen to whatever the hell I want to." Mark thought to himself as he parked the car.

"Thanks for the ride, Mark." They said in unison. "No prob. You guys want me to take you home for say… the school year? I figured it will help your status since I am a junior and you are all freshmen." Mark asked the trio. "Alright." Trixie said as she and Spud left, but Jake stayed. Mark got out of the car, showing his big frame to Jake. "See ya Jake." Mark said as he left for the school. "Yeah, same to you." Thought Jake but he felt a chill down his spine-something was not right about this one. Jake was thinking that Mark seemed like a threat to him. With these thoughts in mind, he walked into his new school to find his classes.
