Wow, this fic is actually getting updated. Well, everyone voted over at DIP and Hippie Burger, and no. 3 has won. So everything will be updated simultaneously... beginning with this one. If you have yet to read the prologue, don't worry. It's not all that vital to this fic. It just states, basically, what will be going on. So... this fic will have shorter chapters, as will my other new ones, so that I can update as much as possible. DIP, however, will keep its length. Now, reviewers.

Frzee: Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. But how could you not like Train? They're just so... cool! But whatever. Thanks for reviewing!

Christian: Here ish the update. Hope you like it!

Ok, let's get it on.

Ordinary:Ch. 1

YFWE

Jake Long was just about as upset and confused as one person could ever be. Here he was, returning to school for the first time after the Ski Trip. And he had just discovered that the girl that he loved most- Rose... she was, in reality, the enemy. Although she, obviously, knew nothing about it.

How could she? She had no clue as to the identity of the dragon that she faced time and time again. She did not know the identity of the dragon that had kept her uncle from resurrecting past Huntsmasters to eliminate all dragons. She didn't know the identity of the dragon... who had saved her from almost certain death at the ski trip. She didn't know that one of her best friends... was also one of her greatest enemies.

Unfortunately for Jake, he did know this.

He was that dragon. The one that time and time again foiled the Huntsclan's evil plans. It had been a great job. A great thing to do. That is, until he found out the news. That Rose was the enemy. Jake sighed, looking toward the sky. Why? Why was he destined to be the American Dragon?

Why him?

(End)

Rose was a little moody as well as she walked to school that morning. There were many feelings. Feelings of confusion. Feelings of denial. To name a few.

This all had resulted from the school ski trip that had occurred the previous weekend. The American Dragon... it had followed her to the ski resort. Of all places, he had followed her to the school ski trip.

Why had he been there? She had been ordered to capture the Abominable Snowman... maybe the dragons had been tipped off by someone that they were going to do this. It was possible, and he had stopped her. But there was one thing. One thing that happened that weekend that she couldn't stop thinking of.

He had saved her life.

Why would he save her life? They were mortal enemies. They were supposed to hate each other. They wanted to kill each other.

At least Rose did.

But after that happened, after the dragon had not only spared her when he had her cornered, but had actually saved her from death, she wasn't so sure about him.

Did the dragon actually love her?

That couldn't be right. Rose wouldn't accept it. The dragon was her enemy. After all the times they had fought... there was no way he could feel even an ounce of compassion for her.

But he had saved her. And to boot, even if this dragon did like her, it wouldn't matter. Nothing would change. She already had someone she loved, and he loved her.

Or so she thought.

Rose had wanted to spend time with Jake on the ski trip! Honest! But she couldn't. Brad... he had never let his eyes off her the whole time. Whenever she wanted to talk to Jake, Brad showed up and pulled her away. But by the end of the trip, she was ready to get with him. She had gone back to his seat on the bus... and asked if she could sit with him, after apologizing for not spending time with him.

But he had said the seat was taken.

But was that exactly true? Rose believed him, thinking it might have been for Spud, but when he looked back mid-ride, Jake was still the only one in the seat.

Was he mad at her? She sure hoped not. She decided that today, at school, she was going to once again attempt to confront him.

(End)

"Jake! Hey!", Rose called in the hallway after their first period class that day.

Jake had been at his locker, talking with Trixie and Spud. When he heard her voice, his immediate reaction was to look up and smile. But then he remembered. Actually, he had never forgotten.

Rose was Huntsgirl, his enemy. And he still could not get over it- so much that he could not even look her in the eye.

"Uh oh, Jakey. Here she comes again. Y' might wanna hide", said Trixie, pointing toward the approaching Rose.

And that is what Jake wanted to do. But for some reason, he could not bring himself to do this. Was it because he still loved her? But how could he love someone that wanted to slay him?

"Jake, I gotta talk to you!", she said when she caught up to him.

He looked back at Trixie, wondering what she thought he should do.

She just shrugged her shoulders.

"Um... yeah, I guess. But could we make it quick?", he asked.

"No problem! We have the same class together next, remember?"

"Yeah."

(End)

"Jake... I just wanted to say I'm sorry- again", apologized Rose, "I really wanted to spend time with you, but..."

"Hey, like you said... you were busy", Jake muttered, "There was nothing you could do..." What he had just said had more meaning than he originally thought.

"Jake. What's wrong? Are you still mad?", Rose wondered aloud. She reached out to touch his arm.

But Jake pulled away, "I'm alright! Really!", he yelled, so loud that everyone that happened to be in the hallway turned toward them. Knowing he'd been a little to loud, Jake quieted his voice and returned to his conversation with Rose. "Rose... I really am okay. I think..." He looked her in the eyes, the first time he'd done so that day. It was then he remembered why he'd fallen in love with her to begin with. Her eyes... her blue eyes... they were so beautiful. It was right then and there that he made up his mind. To do something he didn't think he was going to do. Something that could quite possibly get him killed.. "Rose...", he said, "Could I meet you after school? At Mambo's down the street? I have something to tell you..."

END CHAPTER

Ok! So what's he gonna do? If you don't know, you obviously haven't seen the Ski Trip episode. That's all I'll say. ;)

So... this was the first new update. The chapters will usually be longer than this. So now I have a question for you all.

I wanna know- what fic does everyone want updated next?

The next update will be in my "Golfing in the Streets" X-Men Evo fic. And this Sunday, I'll be at camp. (Which sucks, cause I wanted to get DIP's new chapter up on the 27th since that's the fic's 2 month anniversary. ) I'll be gone for a really, really, REALLY long time. (I mean... camp is over on Thursday, but then I'm back in Michigan to see if any more of my neighbor's cars implode.) I could be gone for a good 2-3 weeks. During which time I won't be able to update, obviously, because I'm not rich like MegalaManiacoftheNorth's family and I don't have a laptop! So I will be able to read your reviews (since I have access to a computer there, just not typing), and I will likely come back with new chapters for every fic. Then I will begin on whatever one everyone voted for. So vote, and remember your vote counts! If you don't like it that I'm updating DIP instead of something else, you shoulda voted! IF you did, then it's likely your choice was overruled. So, look for an GITS (heh... funny acronym) update, and then I'll see all of y'all a while after. (But THEN, I have band camp. Damn, this sucks.) Plz vote! Bye!
