Disclaimer: I don't own American Dragon: Jake Long or any character from the series.
Observation: On this fic, Rose's sister is named Lily. Bear with it if Disney ever gives her another name.
Observation 2: I know Rose never had a brother in the actual series but on this fic she has and his name is Lyle.
Big Brother
Lyle's P.O.V.
Hello, my name is Lyle. For most people I seem to have a fairly normal family. A Mother, a Father and a younger sister named Lily. I used to believe that until I learned Lily isn't my only sister. I also have a sister named Rose, who is identical to Lily except for a small yet crucial detail. Rose has a dragon-shaped birthmark. The big deal about that? That's something to ask to the crazy people who kidnapped her when she was a baby. Well, ever since I've learned all of this, I've been researching all I could find about dragons hopind to find a clue to Rose's whereabouts. My family and my friends kept trying to convince me to give up and move on. I don't know who I hate more. Them for suggesting that or myself for considering taking their suggestion. My hopes were renewed by a Principal Sigmund Brock, from Millard Fillmore Middle School, who caged three of his students inside a cage and claimed one of them was a dragon. He called the press to announce his discovery and poured some weird substance on one of those students, hoping it would turn him into a dragon but nothing happened. Despite the fact that Brock failed to prove the existence of dragons, I've decided to check upon this hoping it would have caught the attention of a dragon slayer that could know Rose or, in a better scenario case, Rose herself could be investigating this. Believing this, I came to New York against protests from family and friends. While riding around on my motorcycle, I was wondering where that school is. Realizing I was completely lost, I decided to stop at the electronics shop nearby to ask for directions. I can't believe my luck when I see and recognize the kids from Brock's cage entering the very same store. I only hope to get some help from them without passing myself as some weird guy.
Nobody's P.O.V.
"So, young one, Rotwood knows you're a dragon?" Lao Shi asks his grandson.
"Unfortunately yes, Gramps." Jake sadly replies. "Should we erase his memory like you wanted me to do with Trixie and Spud?" He then notices Trixie's and Spud's staring. "Long story, guys."
"Kid, I don't think Rotwood will allow you to have a chance..." Fu explains until they hear the door opening, causing Fu to jump to the floor and do his nornal dog act. "Woof. Woof."
Lyle enters the shop. "Welcome to Canal Street Electronics." Lao Shi welcomes Lyle. "Never had a customer. Never had a sale."
Lyle is shocked at such a motto. "Excuse me, are you the kids from that Sigmund Brock's cage?"
"How do you know that, uh?" Jake asks, wondering why would someone bring it up.
"Lyle." He identifies himself to Team Dragon. "And it went on nationwide TV."
"Oh, right." Jake replies. "By the way, Lyle, my name is Jake Long. These are my friends Trixie and Spud, my Gramps Lao Shi and his dog Fu."
"Nice too meet you, guys." Lyle replies. "Look, I know it'll look weird but I was wondering..."
"... if you could have our autographs?" Spud asks, while excitedly producing a pen.
Trixie notices Lyle's confused look. "Don't mind Spudinski here, Lyle. What were you saying?"
"I was wondering if you could help me finding my sister." Lyle answers.
Jake is confused and shocked but decides to try something. "Sure, what does she look like?"
Instead of answering with words, Lyle produces a photograph with himself, Lily and their parents. Jake is quite shocked when he sees the girl in the photograph. "Rose?"
Lyle's P.O.V.
I've never been so happy. Somebody knows Rose to the point of mistaking my other sister for her. "Do you know her?"
"Yes." Jake answers me. "She attends Millard Fillmore Middle School along with us."
"Finally!" I exclaim.
"Yo, Lyle. What's up?" Jake asks, obviously surprised at my behavior.
"Sorry. Let me explain." I ask them. "The girl in this photograph is my other sister, Lily. I don't know how to tell this but Rose was..."
"...kidnapped by the Huntsclan?" Jake asks, shocking me.
"How do you know about the Huntsclan?" I ask with a demanding tone.
"Uh, she confided us about that but the Huntsclan can't know that or we'll be in trouble." Jake answers, seeming to be hiding something from me.
"What exactly did she tell you?" I ask, not sure if I should trust them or not.
"She told us that the Huntsclan raised her to believe her dragon-shaped birthmark means she was born to slay dragons." Jake tells me. "She also told me that for most of her life she believed her parents to have died when she was a baby until she found out she has a twin sister and living parents. And why were you sure we could help you?"
"I've spent most of my life studying about dragons hoping to find a lead to her whereabouts." I explain, seeing no harming on telling them. "When Sigmund Brock announced that one of the students is a dragon I expected her or at least one of those dragon slayers to show up to check this for themselves."
"I see." Jake replies. "Next morning I'll tell her about you and we can arrange a meeting."
"Can't we just call the police?" I ask him.
"Rose is afraid of what the Huntsclan can do if she tries to leave it." Jake tells me.
"And you?" I ask him. "Aren't you afraid of what they'll do to you until they're convinced you're not a dragon? I might be right about Brock having got their attention."
"Come on." Jake calmly replies. "I know they're a bunch of dragon-obsessed people. No offence to Rose. But they won't take it seriously every time some crazy guy claims to have met a dragon."
At this point I hear the door opening again and I see a blonde girl enter. "Jake, you're in trouble. Because of Sigmund Brock, the Huntsman wants me to check on the possibility of you or one of your friends being the American Dragon..." She stops talking when she notices Jake pointing at me. She's shocked when she sees me. Apparently this store's motto is more serious than I thought. I'm even more shocked when I recognize the blonde girl as "Rose?"
