Note: This is just a few oneshots. I do not own American Dragon; Jake Long, that's Disney.
Pair 1: Jake and Haley
It was noon on a rather hot Saturday, and Jake Long was in his room reading the latest issue of MAD.
"Man how do they come up with this stuff it's hilarious!" he said to himself.
Unfortunately for Jake, his thoughts were interrupted by the voice of his eight-year-old sister who was running down the hall towards his room.
"JAKE!!!!!" She shouted at the top of her lungs.
"What?! Can't you see I'm reading?"
"Mom says you have to help me set up my new Trampoline."
"Sorry Haley no can do. I'm meeting Trixie and Spud at 1pm." Jake replied setting down his magazine.
"Please!!!!! Just help me for a few minutes and then you can go meet your friends."
Jake rolled his eyes and walked over to her.
"Fine but as soon as it gets to one, I'm going."
"Yey! Thanks Jake!" she squealed dragging him into the backyard. There was a big box full of parts to set up the trampoline. Haley rumaged through the box until she pulled out a piece of paper, and handed it to Jake.
"Umm why are you giving this to me?" He said puzzled.
"They are the instructions, you tell me what piece goes where and together we'll set it up."
"Ok. Right get that metal pole over there." Jake ordered.
"This one? Wow its heavy!" Haley struggled with the weight.
"Now connect it to that thingy over there." he pointed to another piece of polished metal.
Haley did as he said. Time soon passed and it reached one O'clock. If it hadn't been for Jake's watch, he would have spent the day with her.
"Haley I've gotta go now. Trix and Spud are waiting." He said, placing the instructions down on the floor.
"Bye then." she replied with a sigh, and went back to her work.
Jake was about to leave. He looked at her, desperately trying to read the instructions and put the together trampoline at the same time. He shook his head and muttered to himself,
"They are gonna hate me for ditching them."
Later on at the skatepark
The african-american girl looked at her watch and tutted.
"Man where is Jakey? He should have been here over an hour ago!"she screamed to the boy next to her.
"Trix just chill, I'm sure Jake will come." he replied trying to calm Trixie.
"Spud please! He would have been here already! And its can't be..." she trailed off checking to see if anyone was listening. "It can't be his Am-drag duties, his gramps is away."
"Ok maybe we should go to his place and check if he's there, and you can scream at him instead of me."
Trixie grabbed her board and headed for the exit. She turned round to see that Spud wasn't following.
"C'mon Spudinski! We're gonna find that boy and see what he reason is for standing up his best friends!"
"Man, Jake better watch out, cause Trixie's in a BIG mood and she'll kill him if she gets her hands on him." Spud thought running after Trixie.
Back at the Longs
Wind rushed through his hair as he went up and down.
"Jake isn't this great?" Shouted Haley as she watched her brother.
"Whooo!!!!!! Haha this is better than great!" He shouted out of breath. "Come on Haley, join me!"
"I don't think we should, the instructions say we can't go on at the same time!"
"Screw the rules! You're a fire breathing dragon, and yet you're scared to come on the trampoline with your big brother?"
"Well...I..um..."
"CHICKEN!!!!! " Jake teased, jumping higher making noises.
Nobody called Haley Long a chicken, especially her brother. She climbed on and started jumping trying to catch Jake in fury.
"How dare you call me that, after all you've told me!" she screamed.
"What's that supposed to mean? I've never chickened out of anything!"
"Ha!! Oh yes you have!! Remember when you told me how you joined that play, just so you could impress that Rose girl?"
"Uhhh whats that gotta do with me being a chicken?"
"I remember you telling me how you freaked about doing that kissing scene with her and you chickened out of doing it!" Haley stuck her tounge at him.
"That doesn't count!!!!!! Get back here!" Jake bounced after her.
He lunged forward but Haley jumped out the way. She giggled.
"Looks like the Am'drag isn't fast!" Haley teased. Her and Jake begin the chase all over again. Jake's fury turned to laughter when he accidently jumped off the trampoline. Haley was dying of laughter too.
"Oh laugh now but just wait Haley!" Jake went into the house and came back out with a bucket of water.
"No Jake don't you dare!!!! No!!!!!" Haley screamed as Jake poured the water all over her.
"Hmm looks like Haley's all washed up." Jake replied.
Haley scowled and stomped off round to the side of the house out of Jake's view.
Jake thought he'd really upset so he followed after her.
"Haley, look I'm sor...Ahhh!!!" Jake shouted as Haley wet him with the hose. She grinned as Jake fell over and tried to sort his hair.
"Oh it's on." he laughed.
Meanwhile
Trixie and Spud skated along to the front of of the Long residence.
"Look Spud, the car is in so there's someone in the house." Trixie pointed out.
They walked round the back to see Jake and Haley soaking wet, splashing each other with water. Jake stopped when saw the two.
"Oh...hey guys listen I'm so sorry I didn't come!"
"We are sure that you have a good explination Jakey." Trixie replied still appearing to be angry.
"Wow is that a trampoline?" Spud asked with glee.
"Um yeah...wanna go?
"Definatley!!!!!" Spud took off his shoes and ran over. "Look Trixie!!!! They've got a trampoline!!!!!"
"I can see Spud!" Trixie turned to Jake. "I take it that's why you couldn't make it. You had to look after Haley."
"Yeah, look I'm sorry I couldn't get there."
"No worries Jakey."
Haley grabbed the hose and snuck up on the two.
"Jake, Trixie! Look over here there are two wet people!!!" she giggled.
Jake and Trixie turned round only to be splashed by the hose.
"GOT YOU!" Haley laughed as Trixie and Jake got up.
"Why you little!!!!
"Can't catch me!" she ran full pelt away, with two wet teenagers chasing after her.
"This day wasn't so bad after all."
