The Secret's Out
Note: I do not own the show; Disney does. Sorry if it seems a while since my last story-too much going on. Anyways, I had an idea pop into my head: what would happen if everyone knew? Well, that answer is about to come.
Chapter 1: Oops
(alarm rings)
"Hmm? Oh, that." Mikel said as he turned off the alarm reading 6:35 am. He sat out on the bed, cracked his neck, then stretched. He looked at the calendar, which read: Exams today. "Alright, today's the day. Last day of school." Mikel said as he rushed out of the room. He stopped to see Jake still sleeping. "Lucky bastard exempted his…I had no choice." He thought to himself as he left the house.
Meanwhile…
There was a black limo going across a bridge into New York City. In it was a young man with a gray cat in his lap. "Ah, New York. Home of pizza, the Yankees, and maybe, some secrets." He said evilly. "Uh, where should we go sir?" the driver said. "Hmm, the high school, I guess. The ignorant fools made me have to take their "exams" at that hideous place. Oh well." He replied as he brought out a camera. "I still don't know why you brought that, sir." The driver said. "Well, my moronic uncle has said something about dragons here, so I'm going to see if there are any. If not, then I just go through it like all the others-just bullshit. Besides, what could I possibly get with this?" he said as he explained his reasons. Meanwhile, Mikel was flying over them, without even knowing it. "I just love the air. Freedom from everything, including her-god rest her soul." Mikel thought, referring to Callie. As he kept flying, he saw the school overhead. "There's my stop." He said as he got to a secret area. As the limo pulled up and the kid got out, he noticed Mikel coming out of there. "Hmm…where did he come from?" he wondered as he kept his eyes on him. Mikel noticed this and walked to him. "Oh god-he caught me. What do I do? What do I do?" the guy thought as he watched this scene happen. It wasn't as bad as it seems.
"They made you take them, too?" Mikel said to the kid. "Uh, yeah. Stupid morons." The kid said. "Yeah, you have no idea. Name's Mikel, but it's now Mike-Mike Long. You?" Mikel said as he extended a hand. "John. John Barrow." The kid said as he took it.
"Wait. Is your relative a guy with no chin?" Mikel asked him curiously. John laughed at this. "Yes, he is, unfortunately." He said, which got both of them laughing. "Come, I'll go with you to the testing area." Mikel said as they left for the school.
Later…
"Stupid exams. Almost done, and then I'm out. (phone rings) What? Hello? Yeah? Hold on, just one more…ok, I'm on my way." Mikel said as he finished the exam and quickly left. Unknowingly, he didn't see John watching him. "Where's he off to? I'll find out." He said as he followed him.
Mikel went up to the roof of the school in order to not get followed. Mikel pulled out a device that gave him directions on where to go-mainly a pocket gps. "Alright, got it. Let's see here…ok ready." Mikel said as he dragoned up and left the school. Unknowingly, John had gotten the whole thing on camera, much to his shock. "Wow. No-chin actually got something right. So much for the "no-chin, no respect" ordeal. I better show him." John said as he rushed down the stairs, ready to show his discovery.
10 minutes later…
"So, will this work?" John said as he looked at the camera. Barrow smiled at him as he put his hand on him. "Oh yeah, this will definitely do." Barrow said as he smiled evilly.
Meanwhile…
"Ok, just give us the gold, small guy." The leader said as they surrounded a leprechaun. All looked helpless, until… "Hey ugly, you'd miss me?" Mikel said as he came into the scene. "Get the dragon!" he said as he sent his cohorts to do the dirty work. It didn't work too well, since Mikel was just too awesome at kicking ass. "Man, I'm way off my skills. Where were we? Oh yeah, go now or you'll face the same. Clear?!" Mikel said as the leader ran off. After getting gratitude from the leprechaun, Mikel relaxed as he left the alleyway for home. Unknown to him, again, another person had caught him on tape. "Wow. This is definitely going in the night news." The guy said as he left for his destination.
Later…
"Hey guys, what's up?" Mikel said as he came into the house. Once again, it was quiet. He looked around until he saw a note on the refrigerator saying: Went to Isle of Draco. Be back by Sunday. Family. "Hmm…ok." Mikel said as he shrugged it off and went to the couch. "Wonder what's on?" Mikel thought as he went to the remote and turned on the tv.
(sound of news music comes on)
"Ah, the news. Let's see what's going on." Mikel said as he watched..
"Hello, I'm Jake Thompson. We have a story in development here today. Apparently, there may be more than meets the eye. Our reporter Thomas Impelluso is live, Thomas?"
"Thanks, Jake. There have been reports and evidence of "dragons" appearing in our city. We also have an identity of the person becoming this "dragon" as he was videotaped in two separate occasions. The person is Mikel Richardson, or Mike Long as he is now known after the name change. No one has gotten Mikel to reach for comment, but we'll see how this story develops. Back to you, Jake."
Mikel stood there in shock. How did they get the video? There was no way he was followed, or was he? Was it just coincidence or fate? All Mikel could muster in all of this was "Oops."
Well, what a starter. More to come later.
