Chapter 2:
"Thanks for showing me around town." Lily said to her new friends.
"Don't sweat." Jake said.
"I probably should call my parents." She stated.
"Here. Use my cell." Jake said. "Aww man! It's dead. Aggh! My cell's dead!"
Jake broke out in a run.
"We can use the phone at Gramps' shop to call your folks." Trixy told Lily.
"Why is Jake running?" Lily asked.
"In case Gramps had been calling him."

When the gang got to Lao Shi's shop, they found the old man yelling at Jake in Chinese.
"But Gramps, my cell was dead."
"Excuse me." Lily asked gently. "Can I use your phone?"
"Sure. Go right ahead." Fu Dog said.
Lily gapped at the talking dog.
"Fu. Gramps. This is our new friend Lily." Jake told them.
"Whoops. My bad." Fu said.
"Y…you talked." Lily stated.
"Please don't tell your parents." Jake told Lily.
She picked up the phone and dialed her home number without taking her eyes off of Fu.
"Hi Mom. Lily. I'm fine. Just getting a tour of the city from some new friends. You don't have to rub it in. Hey Mom, what was the name of my twin sister? I thought so. Why? Because I was called that all day! I don't know! I'll talk to you later. Bye."
"Twin sister?" Lao Shi asked.
"Yeah. She was kidnapped at birth because she had some dumb birthmark."
"A dragon wrapped around her wrist?" Jake asked.
"Yeah." Lily said.
