Hazah! I'm back from a month of NaNoWriMo. I didn't complete it…but, nonetheless I'm back. Now I'm going to have a little bit of fun with this one because it's a mix between 2 epic stories. One of which will continue and one of which will most likely not. So here we go.

We're in the small city of New York in New York where a fourteen year old boy is training to be a guardian under the guidance of his grandfather. However, even the training under his skilled grandfather won't prepare him for this…

"Jakeroo! I've got breakfast for you! Oatmeal and some eggs and bacon too!"

"Great," the sleepy teen grumbled. "Today is going to be just great." He got up and got dressed made his bed then slowly made his way down to the kitchen where breakfast was on the table.

"Morning Jakers!" Dad greeted sliding some eggs on Jake's plate.

"Sup Dad," Jake replied sitting down.

He started shoveling food into his mouth. "Hey, I might be a little late getting home tonight," he informed his family through a mouthful of oatmeal and bacon. "I'm gunna go skateboarding with Trix and Spud."

"Are you sure you're not needed at your grandfathers?" Mom asked.

"I'm sure if I am Gramps will call me," Jake sighed. He took one last bite and a gulp of orange juice then grabbed his backpack and headed out the door with his sister.

After dropping off his sister at her school of excellence, Jake was joined by his buds, Trixie and Spud. Then all three proceeded to skateboard to school.

"Hey, yo Jakey," Trixe greeted. "what's happen'?"

"Not much Trix," Jake replied. "I've been dream dating Rose, she said she found her old charm bracelet."

"If you're happy about it, why are you so glum?"

"Because I don't want to wake up from those dreams. I didn't want to leave Hong kong and I still wan tot go back to see Rose for real!"

"You'll never get over Rose now that you know she's okay, will you?"

"Nope, probably not."

"How's Papa dog?" Spud asked, changing the subject.

"Oh, same old same old. He still calls me Jakers, and he still rhymes and he's still annoying but that's dad for ya," Jake reported. "You'd think he'd have a little more respect for the guardian of all New York's magical creatures."

"He probably does, but in his own dad kinda way," Spud reassured giving another push on his skateboard.

"Uh-huh." Jake frowned then stopped his skateboard and popped it back up into his hands. "Let's go."

It was an average day at school, if you could say Jake ever had one. All with Professor Rotwood always trying to expose him, the mail pixie showing up to give him a letter that Gramps needed him at the shop for dragon business, or Fu Dog trying to get his attention by dressing up in a tutu and jumping up and down.

But after school, Jake, Spud and Trixie all headed towards the skate park. Just then they heard a loud crash from an ally just behind the park.

"Oh, great," Jake mumbled. "Whenever I just have a normal day, I have to do dragon business."

"That's okay Jakey, we got your back," Trixe said. They all headed quickly over to the ally and sidled up against a brick building.

"Dragon up!" Jake said quietly as to not alert anyone of his coming. He reached his head around the corner and to his surprise he saw Gramps and Fu trapped under a net with two little boys standing over them.

"Good thing dragons are weakened by sphinx hair right Number 88?"

"You betchca 89!" the other agreed.

"Now to figure out how to work this watch…" Number 88 pondered. He opened the watched and started messing with the switches.

"Hey!" Fu barked. "Don't mess with that! You two knuckle heads will break it!"

"If they figure how it works that won't be the only thing that will break!" Gramps added weakly.

"Hey yo Hunts Chumps!" came a voice followed by a red dragon. "Why don't you give me the watch and get sucked into a vortex like the rest of Hunts Clan!"

Jake leapt up and flew above their heads and shot some fireballs at them to scare them a bit.

In the scramble, however, Number 89 bumped the watch and flipped it over just as Jake hit the timepiece wit his tail and caught it in his claws. Then in the blink of an eye, the teenager disappeared.

Everyone gasped. "What just happened?" Trixe asked slowly.

Everyone stood shocked thinking that Jake would reappear at any moment and say "Just kidding!"

After thinking, 88 and 89 screamed and ran off without the prize, then Trixie and Spud proceeded to get Gramps and Fu Dog untied. "You okay?" Spud asked.

"Yes, but I am more worried about Jake," Gramps said.

"Yeah, I am too," Trixie agreed. "Who knows where he went or if he needs help!"

"I'm more concerned that he's going to mess up history again!" Gramps shouted waving his arms around then continued his rant in Chinese.

"What's the old man talking about?" Trixie asked Fu.

"What made Jake disappear was time-traveling device called the Eucroto Hourglass. You set it, flip it over and you get sent back to any time you want!" Fu informed the two confused teens.

"So Jake's somewhere in time?" Spud asked. "COOL! I WANNA GO TOO!"

"Well, I don't know if he's having as much fun as we think he is," Fu said. "I just hope the kid's alright."
