Disclaimer: Hey everyone; I do not and (unfortunately) will never own the American Dragon Jake Long television series or story line.

Note From the Writer: Hi everybody! I have had this story in my head for quite some time now, and now I am ready to put it together. I am sure that you are really, really, really going to like it! Just so you know, I am going to change up this story a tad bit, meaning when Jake shoves the Dark Dragon into the Vortex of the temple and he gets trapped in there for the next thousand years, Jake, Rose, Trixie, and Spud will be 16 instead of 14 (I always thought of him in this situation acting and being more like a 16 year old adverse to a 14 year old) Otherwise, the characters will remain the same :D

POV of the Story: My story is written about right after Jake has defeated the Dark Dragon in Hong Kong and trapped him in the Dragon Temple for the next thousand years. I never thought that there was much closure there to the story by just locking away the evil villain and leaving him to the future generations that are 1,000 years away, so I am writing a continuation to the story and giving the story a great ending! Anyways, I thoroughly hope that you enjoy! I guarantee lots and lots of chapters. :)

Key: I thought that I just might want to include this so all my readers will know. When font is italicized like this, it will mean that is Jake's or any other character's thoughts. When you see font italicized like this it means that it is the evil character talking though a mean of communication with Jake that you will understand really soon. :) Sorry if I am confusing you now, but I promise that it will all make sense really, really soon! :D

It all had happened so fast. Jake had been fighting the Dark Dragon when the vortex had began to close. Jake swiftly gave the Dark Dragon a hard kick and a whack with his tail and sent the him flying back, farther into the temple as Jake turned and swiftly flew out of the temple. Just as he had been almost out, he heard Rose's desperate cry for help as she had gotten stuck under a large beam that had fallen. He had swiftly flown in and saved her, despite her desperate pleas to leave her and just save himself and made it out of the powerful, sucking force of the vortex just in time, trapping the Dark Dragon there for the next thousand years.

Jake was surrounded by the sound of jubilant celebration as he found himself surrounded by a crowd of admires and and friends.

"You did it Jake! You did it! You got rid of the Dark Dragon!" Rose squealed in excitement, throwing herself onto Jake and giving him a small peck on the lips and a massive hug around his neck.

"Awesome job kid!" exclaimed Fu Dog who was practically drooling with excitement.

"Way to go Jakie!" shouted Trixie, giving Jake a friendly slap on the back

Jake stood and smiled as he was continuously surrounded by more well wishers and congratulates and laughed at how Spud was re-enacting the entire battle between Jake and the Dark Dragon with his hands and how Jake swooped in and saved Rose, which became Spud's left foot, which caused him to loose his balance and fall in his flurry of excitement. While Jake and his ego were enjoying all of the attention, his mind was a million miles away, lost in thought.

"Is it true that I really just defeated the dark dragon? If he comes back in a thousand years, will I still be famous for locking him up for all that time? What about my family and all the other dragons? Is it really true that everyone all got out unscathed...well except for Rose. Is she okay? That was a pretty heavy beam that fell onto her. Is it really true that Rose is here right now, not a figment of his imagination, wrapped around his neck and hugging him? Does this mean that she remembers everything, including me?"

"Rose!" Jake exclaimed in pure excitement, "you remember! How did you remember everything? I thought that I had lost you for good!"

"Well Jake," Rose whispered softly in his ear so that he would be able to hear her over the crowds of celebrators around them, "you left your jacket at my house when the people from the psycho ward came to pick you up. I took your jacket to my room and I began to go through your pockets to see if I could figure out anything about who you were or where you lived when I found the folded photograph. I unfolded it, thinking that it might help me figure out something about you when I saw the picture of you and I at the school dance. Suddenly everything came flooding back to me, all my memories of my old life, of the Hunsclan, and especially of you. That was when I came rushing over here tonight. I remembering the special occasion that was supposed to take place here tonight from reading about it in one of my training books. I just knew that you were going to have to be there."

"I can't believe that I have you back," said Jake softly. You don't know how much it has sucked to have to repeat history and go through it all without you! It practically tore me to pieces at first!"

"We can catch up later," Rose whispered quickly, pulling herself out of the hug with Jake and reached down to hold his hand when suddenly Jake stiffened and went ridged, and his eyes began to gloss over, gaining a distant look in them.

"Jake!" Rose exclaimed, grabbing him by the shoulders and giving him a small shake. He did not respond. "Jake!" Rose said again, more panicked. "Jake, whats wrong? Whats happening?"

Suddenly Jake went limp, falling forward and collapsing onto Rose, causing her to stumble underneath his weight. "Help!" Rose screamed, immediately silencing the celebration. "Anybody please help! Something is wrong with with Jake!"
As if on cue, Jake began to shake as if he were having a seizure and slipped from Rose's grasp, falling face down onto the ground and shaking violently. People swarmed forward suddenly, all rushing to get to Jake. As quickly as it had started, his seizure ended, leaving him laying still and motionless on the ground, yet very much alive. Something very evil had begun again...

I hope you all enjoyed my first chapter! I promise, promise, promise that I will write many, many more to follow! Please feel free to leave reviews! :D
