Disclaimer: I don't own American Dragon: Jake Long or any character from the series.
American Dragon: The New Generation
Before the story starts, let's see what became of some characters.
Jake – The Dragon Council removed his powers and expelled him from the order as punishment for marrying a dragon slayer. He now works as a detective for the NYPD.
Trixie – Two of her biggest dreams became true. She became a surgeon and married Kyle Wilkins.
Spud – Based on a dream he had and on his genius-level IQ, he created a game named Spudman. He's now the head of a huge game company and the husband of Stacey.
Rose – With her athletic skills, Rose entered the olympics and became famous.
Haley – When the Dragon Council expelled her brother from the order, she became the new American Dragon. Eventually she became a member of the Dragon Council and since then she keeps trying to convince them to reinstate Jake albeit with no success.
Brad Morton – He became a professional football player and made a lot of money on that.
Hans Rotwood – He eventually managed to turn Millard Fillmore Middle School into Millard Fillmore Middle and High School. Somehow he managed to marry Sun Park but remains oblivious to the fact she's a dragon.
Now a little introduction to some OCs I created for this fic.
Doug Long – Jake and Rose's son. He has a dragon birthmark and Jake's taste for spiky hair and gel.
Kyle Wilkins, Jr. – The son of Trixie Wilkins and Kyle Wilkins, Sr. Kyle Junior looks like his Dad except that his skin is so tanned like his Mom's and he also has a dragon birthmark. He's popular and the girls love him.
Laura Spudinski – The daughter of Arthur and Stacey Spudinski. She inherited her Dad's intelligence but not his willingness to hide it. She's all work and no fun, much to his displeasure. She also has a dragon birthmark. She has a crush on Kyle, Jr. and it finally led her to have a concern over her looks and let her mother give her a makeover.
Helga Rotwood – Hans and Sun's daughter. Like Susan Long, the dragon powers skipped her generation. She works as a babysitter and her Dad keeps asking her to investigate the Longs trying to find evidence of one of them being a dragon. She knows about her dragon heritage but keeps pretending she doesn't believe the existence of magical creatures whenever her Dad asks her to help his investigations.
Todd Morton – Brad's son. He's like a carboncopy of his Dad. A self-conceited jock.
Now let's start the story:
It was another day at Millard Fillmore Middle and High School. Except by the fact it's the day of Doug's 13th anniversary. He and his best friend were talking about this.
"Congratulations, Doug." Kyle, Jr. says. "You got the roof of one of the best hotels in town for the party. How did you get it?"
"The place belongs to Spudtech." Doug explains. "My Dad is a childhood friend of Mr. Spudinski."
"Do you mean Laura's Dad?" Kyle, Jr. asks. "Did you see how she gave herself a makeover? Sure, it became better than her usual dorky looks but who does she expect to impress?"
"My parents say she has a crush on you." Doug replies.
"The little miss moneybags?" Kyle, Jr. asks. "The chess champion? That dork might think her money can buy anyone but it won't buy me."
"Junior, give her a chance." Doug says. "Her mother gave Mr. Spudinski a chance even before he became rich, popular or at least less of a geek."
"True, but Mrs. Spudinski was too ashamed of him to admit it back then." Kyle, Jr. says. "My Mom told me that."
"She also told you to give her a chance, right?" Doug asks.
"She also keeps telling me that old fairy tale about our dragon birthmarks being a sign of an old evil clan devoted into destroying magical creatures." Kyle, Jr. replies.
"Yeah, my parents keep telling me of the now defunct Huntsclan that used to recruit people with birthmarks like ours until their last plan to destroy the magical creatures backfired and they were destroyed instead." Doug explains. "Except for two clumsy Huntsboys who utilized a loophole to leave the Huntsclan and a Huntsgirl who realized the error of her ways and fell in love with a dragon."
"Tell me about it." Kyle, Jr. says. "My Mom used to tell me about Dragons being the good guys during bedtime. I got tired of these stories when I stopped believing them. The odd part is that she actually seems to believe dragons are real."
"Yeah, my parents also give the inpression they believe it, too." Doug says. "And you know how my Mom feels about when someone points out she also has the mark."
"Yeah." Kyle, Jr. replies. "But at least she's got good moves. Her fighting skills are great and she's a good teacher. The only problem is that I have to put up with Laura Spudinski. However I must admit she fights better than expected for a geek."
"Well, you'd better get used to her, because she's in the guest list." Doug says and Kyle, Jr. moans. "Hey, I can't risk the long-time friendship between my Dad and hers. And she doesn't seem that bad."
"All right. All right." Kyle, Jr. says. "I'll give her a chance."
End of first chapter. I didn't pick a random name for Jake and Rose's son. The name 'Doug' has an intimate connection to ADJL. Will any reviewer try to guess it? Please tell me what you think about this fic. R&R. I'll try to update every weekend.
