American Huntsboy: Jake Long

Disclaimer: I don't own American Dragon: Jake Long. Oh well, that's life, ain't it?

Prologue

"As you know, the American Dragon is getting more powerful and more skillful by the day," the Huntsmaster informed his minions. "Our numbers simply aren't enough. So I want each of you to bring any of your children over the age of 12, and bring them in on Friday for Huntstraining. The mark of the Huntsclan no longer matters."

Rose sighed at this. Damn. If the mark of the Huntclan no longer mattered, why couldn't she just quit being the Huntsgirl, and become a normal teenage girl with a magic crime fighting dragon boyfriend? Oh well, at least she was able to spy on the Huntsclan for Jake. It would help him to know that the Huntsclan's numbers were about to increase.

As one of the Huntsmembers walked away from the meeting, he smiled. He was disappointed when his children were born without the Huntsmark. Of course, his wife didn't notice. But he was very disappointed.

Jake, in the meantime, was busy guarding the Oracle Twins again, when they both had a vision.

"The first child of dragon and slayer will bring peace to the world," Sara and Kara said, simultaneously.

Jake smiled. It could only mean both he and Rose would end up together, and have a child. "Hell yeah!"

Chapter 1: Like Father, Like Son

Jake was walking through the hallway towards Rotwood's class with his best friends, Trixie and Spud. He had just finished telling them about the Oracle Twins' prediction.

"Yo, Jakey, does this mean you and homegirl are gonna end havin' a baby together?" Trixie asked her Asian American friend.

"Well, it was pretty clear," Jake told her. "We're the only dragon and dragon slayer couple, aren't we? This totally means we're going to end together. Isn't this cool?"

"Well, it would be," Spud began, "but didn't you say both of them made this prediction together?"

"Yeah, so what?" Jake asked.

"Well, it would be a good thing if Kara said it, but since Sara said it too," Spud explained, "then this could be both a good and bad thing."

"How could this be bad, yo?" Jake asked. "I end with the girl I love, our kid puts the hurt on all the bad guys and brings world peace, it's absolutely perfect!" Just then, Jake spotted Rose at her locker. He still had to tell her about the prediction. "Yo guys, I gotta go tell Rose about this. Save me a seat at Rotwood's, k?"

"Whatever Jakey, just don't be late," Trixie warned. Jake was already walking away from her.

"Hey Rose!" Jake called out.

"Hi Jake," Rose said as she turned to face him. "Listen, there's something I need to tell you after school today, it's really important."

"Yeah, ok, there's something really important I gotta tell you, too," Jake told her. "Hey, maybe we can both hang by my place after school today, and maybe do some homework."

"Well, I'm not doing anything for the Huntsclan right after school…" Rose started, as considered Jake's proposal. She would love to spend some time with Jake, but she didn't want the Huntsmaster to become suspicious of him. "Sure, why not?"

"Sweet!" Jake exclaimed, as the bell rang. Both he and Rose ran to Rotwood's mythology class.

"Mr. Long, Ms. Killdragonosa," Rotwood said in his thick accent. "You are both late for my class. You vill serve detention vith me after school."

"Aw man," was all Jake could say.

After serving detention with Rotwood, Jake and Rose started walking to the Long residence. When they got there, Haley was already at the door to annoy Jake.

"Hey, aren't you the girl Jake talks about all the time and has a picture of in his room," Haley asked Rose. "Are you his girlfriend? Because you're too pretty from him. Did you have some sort of accident? People have been known to suffer trauma from head injuries."

Rose smiled, and was about to reply that she was, in fact, Jake's girlfriend when Jake cut in. "Haley, go away, Rose and I have stuff to do."

"Ooh, what kind of stuff?" Haley asked. It was pretty obvious what she was implying.

Jake scowled, before pulling Rose by the hand to his room. When he closed the door, he turned to Rose, and said, "Sorry about her, she can be a pain sometimes."

"Oh, I thought she was actually pretty cute," Rose said. She smiled, before saying "Not as cute as you, though."

"Yeah well, the Am Drag is plenty cute, and plenty hot to spare, ya heard!" Jake replied, smiling cockily.

"So, what was it you wanted to tell me?"

Rose's smile vanished. "The Huntsclan is about to gain a lot of new members. The Huntsmaster decided to start taking the children of Huntsmembers and train them to join the Huntsclan. He says the mark doesn't matter anymore." She frowned, before adding, "too bad that new rule doesn't extend to me."

"Damn, that is harsh! But it doesn't matter, the Am Drag is gonna put the hurt on any huntspunk that stands in his way, ya heard!" Jake said, confidently.

"I don't know, Jake," Rose said worriedly. "I don't want to see you getting hurt. Just be careful, ok?"

"Sure, anything for you baby," Jake replied. "With dragon training, and all that shit you've been teaching me on our dream dates, there ain't no way no Huntsfool is gonna take me down."

"So what, you're going to kiss them to death?" Rose flirted, smiling seductively. She started leaning towards Jake.

"No, that's reserved for the Huntsgirl," Jake replied, leaning in to capture her lips with his. He ran his tongue across her lips, as she opened her mouth, letting their tongues dance together. He had both of his hands running through her hair. She had one hand unconsciously tracing a line up and down his thigh, and another hand on his lower back, holding him to her.

Eventually, Rose pulled away. "Jake, we need to stop now. I'm still not ready to actually go that far; not in this world, or the dream world."

"Chill baby, mack daddy Jake is cool with that," Jake assured her. "We'll take this at your pace, k?"

"Thanks Jake," Rose said. She paused, then added "I love you."

Jake stared at her in shock for a few seconds. Rose was now starting to get worried he didn't feel that strongly for her. Finally, he smiled, and said, "I love you to." He gave her a quick kiss, before stepping back. "So, I guess we should get started on our homework now."

"Yeah, homework, right," Rose said with a dreamy smile on her face. Then, she remembered something. "Hey wait, Jake, what was it you wanted to tell me before?"

"What? Oh yeah. The Oracle Twins made a prediction yesterday while I was body guarding them again," Jake said. He waited for a few seconds before continuing. "They said the child of dragon and slayer will bring world peace, or somethin' like that."

"Oh my god, Jake!" Rose said, as she processed this new bit of information. "That means we're going to get married and have a child together! Because don't think I'm going to get pregnant before I get married. And oh shit, our child is going to bring peace!"

"Yeah, pretty cool, right?" Jake commented. "Don't worry though, I promise I won't get you pregnant before we get married.

"We should probably get started on our homework, now," Rose said. They started with Math, then Social Studies, then Science, then Language Arts, then their dreaded Mythology class.

"Shit, if only we had a decent mythology teacher that knew what he was teaching, we'd both be passing with flying colors!" Rose said, frustrated at Mr. Rotwood's lack of knowledge.

"I know, yo," Jake complained with her. "My scales do NOT glow in the dark!"

"And you don't smell like lavender, neither," Rose added. "I would know."

They started putting away their school stuff. "Well, I should go now, my uncle wants to meet the new recruits tonight," Rose said. "Thanks for having me over. I'll see you tonight in the dream realm?"

"Yeah, of course," Jake said, as they both started walking down the stairs. Since the two of them couldn't go out together in the real world in fear the Huntsclan going after Jake, they resorted to using dream charms to visit each other's dreams. Before they reached the bottom, the door opened.

"Hola familia!" Jake's dad said, as he walked through the door. Haley ran up to him, and gave him a hug. He stared at Rose, before saying, "Hey Jake, who's your friend?"

"This is Rose, my friend from school," Jake replied, before looking towards Rose. She was staring at Jake's dad in shock. "Hey Rose, you ok?"

"Y-yeah, I'm fine," Rose told him. She still looked very shaken. "Bye Jake, I'll see you in school tomorrow."

Rose walked out the front door, with Jake and his dad staring at her.

What's with her? Jake wondered.

What was she doing here? Jake's dad wondered.

"Hey Jake, I'm taking you out somewhere after dinner tonight," Jake's dad told his son.

"But dad, I have drag- I have stuff to do!" Jake complained. He really had dragon duties, like patrolling the city, but he couldn't tell his dad that.

"Oh don't sweat if Jakeroo," Jonathon told him. "We never get to spend any time together anymore."

Later that night, Jake was in his dad's car. It was getting dark, and he still didn't know where they were going.

"Dad, where are we going?" Jake asked his dad.

"Oh, it's a surprise," Jonathon replied. "I'm sure you'll love it."

Eventually, they reached a building. Together, father and son got out of the car. The moon was out, hanging like the blade of an axe. Jonathon approached the door. He swiped a card, punched in a few numbers, pulled out one of his hairs and held it front of a scanner, and pushed the door open. Jake's eyes were greeted with the sight of a group of Huntsmen, and a bunch of kids around his own age, surprisingly, including Brad Morton. All of them seemed to be staring at the Huntsmaster, and at his side, the Huntsgirl.

Rose watched as Jake Long, and his father, Jonathon Long, walked through the door. She had been expecting this, but she still hoped she was wrong. Jake's dad was part of the Huntsclan.

"Ah, finally," the Huntsmaster began. "Now that we're all here, we can finally begin. Jonathon, why don't you go to the changing room and change into your uniform?"

"Yes, Huntsmaster," Jake's dad complied. He walked towards another room. A few minutes later, a Huntsmember came back out and joined the group.

"Now, I'm sure you are all wondering why you're here," the Huntsmaster started. "You are all the children of those destined the scourge the world of wicked, disgusting, vile, magical creatures. The worst of which, are dragons, the so-called protectors of the magical world. You must all follow in your parents' footsteps, and help rid the world of evil. You are all to join the Huntsclan."

Jake was still in shock. His dad was a Huntsman, and he was supposed to join the Huntsclan? He was the Am Drag, he was supposed to fight the Huntsclan. He spoke up. "Yo, what if we don't wanna join the Huntschumps?" Jake asked, cockily.

Everyone turned to stare at Jake. The Huntsmaster and Jonathon looked pissed.

"Insolent child, this is your destiny!" The Huntsmaster shouted. Jake was intimidated.

"Behave, Jake!" Jonathon scolded his son. He turned to the Huntsmaster. "I am so sorry for my son's rebellious behavior."

"Don't worry about it. I'm sure a few beatings will mellow him," The Huntsmaster said, now starting to sound indifferent.

Jake was about to reply, when Rose caught his eye. She was shaking her head, obviously warning him to be quiet. He'd do it, for her.

"There is one magical creature in particular that has been causing problems for the Huntsclan," the Huntsmaster continued, as if there had been no interruption. He pulled out a small disk. A hologram popped out. It was the image of the American Dragon. "This is the American Dragon, the most wicked and vile of dragons. He kills without mercy. He must be stopped, and it will be us to stop him. Any questions?"

"Sir, how are we going to fight an evil fire breathing dragon?" a girl with black hair and brown eyes asked.

"Simple, we are going to train you," the Huntsmaster replied. "Just so we know exactly where you all stand, and how much training you require, we're going to test you. First up, Katherine Bones."

Katherine Bones stepped forward. The fear in her eyes was growing by the second. The Huntsmaster motioned for one of the Huntsmembers to started fighting her. She barely lasted 20 seconds before being knocked to the ground. Ronal Thomas lasted about 10 seconds more. James Evans lasted about a minute. The next 3 kids lasted over a minute each. Brad didn't get passed the first 15 seconds. Finally, it was Jake's turn. He glanced at Rose. She had a worried look in her eyes.

"Strength of the Dragon," Jake whispered to himself. He felt much stronger than his normal human self.

Jake's fight lasted less than 3 seconds. However, unlike all the other fights, he had won.

"Impressive," the Huntsmaster commented. The boy was obviously very strong, and definitely very skilled. He motioned for 4 other members to attack. Jake knocked the first one down with a kick. The second one he tripped. The third and fourth rushed at him. He jumped up, and let them collide with each other. While they were close, he tackled both of them.

"Very impressive," the Huntsmaster said. Jake's dad looked on in awe. He had no idea his son was such a good fighter. Rose started looking even more worried. What would the Huntsmaster do with Jake? "Jake Long, you are obviously a very skilled fighter. Now you will face my apprentice. Huntsgirl?"

Rose stepped forward. She and Jake stared at each other before Rose launched herself at him. It was just like the fake fighting they had practiced in the dream world, except Jake was in human form. And just like they practiced, no one got hurt. After a few minutes of fake fighting, the Huntsmaster ended it.

"You are obviously a very skilled fighter and will be a valuable asset to the Huntsclan," the Huntsmaster complimented him. "I want you to be the new Huntsboy. The Huntsgirl will be the one in charge of training you."

Rose had had a terrible night. Her day with Jake was amazing, but at night, when she was Huntsgirl, she was miserable. Hunting magical creatures, going to meetings, and worrying about Jake were things Rose didn't enjoy. However, at this last piece of news, Rose secretly smiled under her Huntsgirl mask.

A/N: Ok, I don't know what's up with the lines here, they're showin' in all the wrong places. I referenced the start of one of my favorite songs when Jake's dad was taking Jake to the Huntscrib. Are you Hunts enough to figure out what I'm talking about?
