Chapter 1

Jake opened his eyes and found himself sleeping on the couch in his grandfathers shop. He was alone. On the table in front of him was a magical-newspaper laying. His grandfather said often, that he should read them, so that he knew what happens in the magical-world. But Jake often don't hear on him. A few seconds later Trixie and Spud appeared from the other room.

"Jakey, are you sure that that thing is here?" Trixie asked.

"Yes, it have to be here!" Jake said and stood up.

He was tired. And felt very weak. But he had to find it. He, Trixie and Spud were here for around one hour and searched everthing.

"What are you looking for?" Lao Shi's voice appeared and everybody was scared. "Do you look for this?"

Lao Shi hold the time-travel hourglass in his hand. The same thing Jake used a year ago to travel to the past. To tell his father the truth.

"Why do you think so?" Jake asked confused.

"Because, I know that you have to write a test in history!" Jake's grandfather told. "Did you really thaught that I let you travel into the past and..."

"Yes, I know... but, do you know how difficult the test is... I don't want to change anything. I just wanted to look." Jake said.

Lao Shi was really angry. He hold the hourglass in his hand and after a few seconds it became dust. Jake and his friends were confused.

"Jake... I know, it's difficult! But you can't use magic for anything! I mean look at me... I have to go to the bank in a hour. Because I can't use magic, to pay my bills. And the bank what it's money!"

"Is it serious?" Jake asked to change the topic.

"Yes... really serious!" he said with sadness and forgot what he wanted to say. "I have to go, bye!"

Jake was relieved for a moment. But than his grandfather turned and said: "Time-traveling is dangerous!"

After Lao Shi was gone, Jake, Trixie and Spud sat down on the table and start to learn again. All where anoyed. It was a wonderful day, and they had to stay inside.

"My head hurts!" Trixie said.

"I know, mine too." Jake said to her. "But we have to learn on the normal way... because time-travelling is too dangerous!" he said and mimic his grandfather.

A few seconds later the light switched off. And also the radio and all other electronical-stuff which was running.

"Awww... that's perfect. Now the energy is also off!" Jake said but maybe 10 seconds later the energy came back.

"What was that?" Spud asked. "A power failure?"

"Who know's!" Jake said and start to read again.

It was dark when Jake arrived his home. When he opened the door, it smelled really tasty. His father and haley sat on the couch and watched the news.

"Hello, Jake... how was your day?" his father asked.

"...hgmmm... Dad, do you know something above gramps' liabilities?" Jake asked worried.

"Liabilities? No! He said a few weeks ago that it's diffucult but... he never said something above liabilities!" his father told.

"I'm worried that he lost his shop! Than he will move to us..." Jake said and Jonathan got afraid.

When they sat on the table and eat, Jake looked outside. It began to rain. And it was stormy. His sister start to talk above her good work on school during Jake had to think about that what his grandfather said.

"Jake... your grandfather told me that's difficult right now!" his mother said. "But it was difficult since he found that shop! Why are you so worried?"

"It's not just the shop..." Jake explained.

"You mean your planed trip to past." his mother said.

"Where you know... I mean..." Jake said shocked.

"Jake, the last time you travelled to the past almost ruined the whole future." his mother said. "If you have problems in history, ask us... or Haley!"

Jake looked confused on his smiling sister. How could a 8-years-old girl help him in school. Jake shaked his head and eat further. It was quite in the kitchen. Nobody talked for a long while. But than the light switched off...

"Oh no... not again!" Jake could hear his father saying.

"What, it happend here again?" Jake asked.

"Not here, at work and than later when I was on the way home..." his father explained.

Before he could finish his sentence a bright white light filled the air. Everybody was shocked. Something was outside. Jake's parents start to hide under the table when Jake stand up and looked outside carefully. He could see a big white portal, or something else. He couldn't look at it because it was too bright. But a few seconds later it disappeared. And than the lights switched on again.

"Jake... what was that?" his father asked shocked.

"I don't know, but... it was unbelivable." Jake said and walked carefully to the door.

When he looked outside he could see that some neigbours also looked threw thier windows. But the most turned after a few seconds. Maybe they thaught it was just a car with bright headlights. But than Jake saw two bodies laying between the trash-bins.

"Oh my gosh... Mom, Dad, Haley... I need help here?" Jake screamed and his parents followed him to the both senseless boys.

"Ohh.... Jake... this boy...!" his mother said and Jake looked on the face of one of the boys. He looked almost like Jake.

Jake was shocked. The boy was a looking like him, just with brown hairs. Who was he? And who was the other boy? The other boy was maybe in the same age as of the other one. But he was thiner and looked ill.

"I call an ambulance!" Jonathan shouted.

"No, no ambulance!" his wife said. "They appeared in a bright light! What do you want to tell the paramedics?"

When they carried them into the house, Haley found a backpack under one of the boys. She take it and followed the others back into the house.

Jake tried to call his grandfather, but he wasn't at home! And Fu also not! They where alone with two boys, one of them looking almost like Jake, and they had no clue where they are. Haley finally found a passport in the backpack and was surprised.

"Hey, the boy who is not looking like Jake is calling Grant Feldman! And he has a passport from Draco's Island, I think." Haley said.

"What!" her mother said confused and read. "Republic of Draco's Islands! Since when, the island is a independent contry? And... the boy is a human... here look, there stands, species: human!"

"Humans, living on the island?! Did I miss something?" Jake asked confused.

"No he is not living there!" his mother said when she read the passport. "He is living here in New York, in Queens and he is... 15-years-old."

"And the other one, who look's like me?" Jake asked and Haley found a second passport. "His name is... Jonathan Long?"

"WHAT?!" Jake's father shouted and take the passport. "...15... living in Queens... species: dragon! And he is born... one year after you!"

"One year after me...! But than he can't be my son or whoever he is!" Jake said and took both passports. "And since when is Long Island a part of Draco's Island?"

During Haley found some photos in the backpack, the both boys woke up. When the both boys looked at Jake both start to scream.

"Oh my gosh... you said three days and not twenty-five years!" the human boy shouted.

"I know... but something went wrong!" the dragon said.

"QUIET!" Jake shouted and everybody looked on him. "Who are you? And please tell me the truth..." he said and presented the both passports. "...don't tell me that that things are real, I know that..."

"Jake.... you should listen to them!" Haley said afraid and give Jake one of the photos.

Jake took the photo and was shocked. On the photo he could see himself, Trixie and Spud standing in front of the World-Trade-Center. The photo looked really old, twenty years maybe. When he turned over it he saw that someone wrote words on the backside... "Jake, Trixie and Spud... 15th March 1983!"

"1983?" Jake said shocked and looked on the both boys. "Who are you?"
