Hey! Recently I watched the JLAM fantastic cartoon, and I loved it! I just couldn't get enough of Jake and Rose! The ending left me hungry for more, so here I am :) The story will take place after the episode 18 of season 2(The episode, in which Jake wished for Rose to never be a part of the Huntsman clan) I'll do my best, please review and follow if you like it :) Cheers!
It was raining. It's been heavily pouring since that day. A month passed since the huntsman clan was taken down, along with Rose losing her memories. It was a rough month for anyone who knew Jake. He avoided everyone, ignored all questions about how he is, and kept any communication to a minimum. He stayed true to his dragon responsibilities, even with no evil clan around, there was plenty of work. Jake spent most of his time alone, and only those whose hearts were shattered to a million pieces can imagine the agony he was in. On the outside, he seemed indifferent at most, he did his best to keep worries about him to a minimum, so eventually his close ones just accepted his new self, and just gave him the space he needed…
Jake was walking down the familiar road to school, at 3 o'clock in the morning. He wasn't getting much sleep, if any at all. He took a liking to these night walks. He would spend hours under the rain, going nowhere in particular, or watching the city from some roof. This time he went to school, again. He spent more time here at night, than during the day. He transformed, and flew to the roof. After transforming back, he found a stash he hid here a while back. It had a tea pot, some tea, a rose and a few cups. He wasn't sure why he had more than one cup, maybe deep inside, he was hoping for some company, even if he didn't admit it, even to himself. He made a fire under an improvised shelter of a table that was always there, and went to watch the city while waiting for tea. He leaned on the stone edge, and buried his head in his hands.
He didn't know how long he stood there for, but after a while he heard a familiar voice: "Hey kid…". He didn't look behind him, and just replied: "Hey Fu". Fu was the only one he really felt like talking to, even if he avoided him as well. But this time he felt ready to talk to someone. He turned around, and said: "I'm actually glad to see you Fu. Would you like some tea? Nothing fancy like the one you and gramps make, but I like it." Fu nodded, and replied "Relax kid, just because I can make the best tea in China, doesn't mean I like it" He smiled faintly at Jake. Jake started preparing the tea, while talking to Fu. "I remember the last time we were here, after that whole Krylock muffins incident" Jake smiled a bit. Fu chuckled and replied "Yeah, we made a lot of noise back then kid. The "rooftop meeting" reason was the same though. I won't ask again if you're holding up, but let me know if there is anything you need" He put his paw on Jake's shoulder. Jake took the two tea cups, and went to other side of the roof, to the self-made tent he made a few weeks ago. It was big enough for a table and a few chairs, which he also brought here, for reasons unknown to him. He set the cups on the table, and sat down. Fu tried the tea, and chuckled again "Kid, if you ever give up your whole dragon business, you'd make a great tea maker. And that's coming from ME! Hehe" Jake smiled and took a sip. He liked it, Jasmine tea with a few rose petals. They sat there in silence for a bit, the Jake finally spoke "Fu, can I ask you for a favor" Fu looked at him, a little worried "Sure kid, whadda ya need?" Jake tapped the table for a bit, then said "I want you to wipe my memory"
Fu chocked on his tea, and was clearly about to shout something, but then paused for a moment. He suddenly got a serious, sad expression. He spoke quietly then "I'm guessing you don't want all of your memories wiped, but the part about a certain individual" Jake nodded and replied "Not just a part. Every memory of her, of us. I can't take it anymore Fu. It's so painful to even think about losing memories of her, but it's unbearable anyway. I don't think I'll ever get over her, and I know we can't be together the way things are right now. I won't ruin her life for my sake, this is the life she wanted so badly, and I won't get in the way." Jake threw his head back, and let the rain pour on his face. Fu was massaging eyes with his paw, a lot of things going through his head. Maybe he should've talked to gramps about this, maybe he should try to talk Jake out of this. But he didn't want to. "I'll help you kid, and this time, I even have all the ingredients. So any time you're ready, we can go to the shop. But I have to ask. Do you really want this? Memories of loved ones are as painful, as they are beautiful, there were good moments in your relationship. Are you SURE you want to let it all go?" Jake didn't move for a while, rain caressing his face, then he finally looked at Fu, with a smile, and replied "Fu, I can't start describing how thankful I am to have you as my friend. You've been there when no one else was, you helped me find Rose, and told me to not give up on her. And the moments we had with here were out of this world. That was the happiest time of my life, nights and nights with her. With no fear of being caught, or that we have to go anywhere… I have you to thank for that. But the void she left, is just as big as the joy she brought, probably way bigger even. I can't, Fu. I want to move on. It's the only way." Fu took a long sigh, and replied "Man, this tea is reeeeally good. Rose petals are a nice touch, when it's all over, don't forget the recipe. Let's go kid, to the shop it is"
