Disclaimer: I don't own American Dragon: Jake Long or any character from the series. The characters Seth Hunter, Chad and Renee were created by RedHal, who utilized the three of them in the fanfics "Coming Back" and "Haley's Story" but this fic doesn't follow their continuity so you don't need to read them (but I still recommend them since they're good stories) to understand it.

Warning: This fic starts a few years after the mainstream time of the series but major episodes like "Homecoming" and "The Hong Kong Longs" didn't happen.

Haley's Love Problems

The New Neighbors

Haley Long and her parents, Jonathan and Susan Long, are at their home when they hear a truck stopping by. Jonathan goes to the window to check and learns some interesting news. "Familia, some people are moving into the vacant home next to ours." He announces. "Let's welcome them."

As Jonathan and the father of the newcomer family see each other, recognition hits their eyes.

"Bob?"

"Jonathan?"

"You know each other?" Each wife asks her respective husband.

"We attended college together." Jonathan explains.

"And to think I was sure I wouldn't see you again before the next class reunion." Bob replies and then talks to his wife. "Lucy, this is my old college buddy, Jonathan Long. Jonathan, these are my wife Lucy and my son Seth."

"Nice to meet you all." Jonathan says and then talks to Susan. "Susan, this is an old friend of mine, Bob Hunter. I'd have invited him for the wedding but we kinda lost contact after graduation. Bob, this is my wife Susan and my daughter Haley. I'd introduce you to my son Jake but he's at a friend's for a study group. He's finishing High School and is trying to enter a good college."

"Nice." Mr. Hunter replies. "My son is a middle schooler and is going to attend Millard Fillmore Middle School."

"Really? Jake attended that school and Haley currently does." Jonathan says and then notices Haley and Seth. "And it seems they're getting along quite well."

"This is nice but we have stuff to unpack." Bob replies. "Seth, you'll have more time to talk to your new friend after unpacking our stuff."

"Bye, Haley."

"Goodbye, Seth."

Please review. The names and the backgrounds of Seth's parents were my ideas. RedHal never went into much detail about them.
