Disclaimer: American Dragon: Jake Long is not mine. If it were, I would've still made the original version of Homecoming--full hour, dark, and Rose staying, like it was supposed to be.
A/N: This is my first ADJL fic and I hope I didn't just murder the couple by being OOC. This is if Rose really had stayed at the end of Homecoming.
"Why?" Rose asked. There was no resentment in her voice, just a trace of wanting the truth.
Jake looked away but continued to hold onto her hands with his. "Because...you deserve a normal life. A life with no bad guys, magic, fighting, and abnormalities." He looked at himself and then brought his eyes to meet hers once again. "I'm not exactly what you call normal."
She freed her hands from his grip and cupped his face. "I wouldn't want a 'normal' life if it meant I couldn't remember you; if it meant I couldn't be with you."
He looked up at her and smiled, "Really?"
"Really," she reassured him with a kiss--which he returned more than happily.
A/N: Please review. Constructive criticism welcomed.
