"Dragon Council what?" asked Jake, landing on the ground in front of Rose and folding his wings again. He was dimly aware of everyone looking at him, a few backing away slowly. Rose blinked.

"How did you know they gave the order that dragons could reveal their identities? I was just coming to tell you…"

"They did?" Jake said, confused.

"Oh, then you did this without knowing…?"

"No, Brock has some sort of potion that exposes dragons…" He looked back over at Brock, trying to stare him down. Brock ran behind the curtains and into the hall. A crash echoed around the theater. He had probably fallen on his face in his haste to escape the angry Jake. The were a few laughs, then silence again. Jake looked around.

"Rose, get on my back. I have a feeling G won't be happy about this…because he probably doesn't know about the order yet." Rose jumped onto his back in one smooth leap while he picked up Trixie and Spud, then took off.

As he passed outside he saw police aim tranquilizing guns at him, only to drop them in shock when he shouted, "Don't you dare point those things at me!" Two officers led Brock from the building, saying he'd be just fine in an insane silome. Brock was gibbering nonsense, pointing at Jake and on the verge of hysterical tears. Jake suppressed a laugh and headed towards Lao Shi's shop.

"JAKE!!!!" yelled Lao Shi, and set off on a rant in Cantonese. Jake winced and tried tried to cut in, but Lao Shi wouldn't let him. In the corner of the shop, Fu put in some ear plugs and unfolded a magazine. When Lao Shi paused to catch his breath, Jake started talking, quickly in case Lao Shi tried to start another rant.

"Gramps, the Council gave permission to reveal ourselves. They think it is time to live among humans. Rose told me. And I didn't show myself purposely, Brock poured some stuff on me to make me turn into a dragon." He took a deep breath after he said this. Lao Shi stared at him, then just walked to the back of the shop. Jake took his leave and returned home.

The next day at school, Jake walked inside hesitantly. He wasn't sure how everyone would react. As he stepped inside, a crowd of people rushed in on him.

"How do you do that?"

"Does it hurt?"

"Why can only you do that and no one else?"

Brad pushed his way to the front. "I don't know what kind of hologram Brock projected over you, but it's time to put you in your place." He cracked his knuckles. Jake raised his eyebrows.

"Can we at least fight outside? I need space to fight properly." He cast a disdainful look at the hallway. Brad shrugged and jogged outside, trying to look manly after peeing his pants the other day.

Jake took up a weird kung fu battle stance, then paused. "Just one more thing…"

Brad raised an eyebrow. "What?" Hoping to freak him out, Jake started with his eyes. "Eye of the dragon," he whispered, so no one could hear him.

"DUDE!" Brad took a step back. "What's with your eyes?" Then Jake changed hi teeth and smiled, for dramatic effect. It would be great if the bully peed his pants twice in two days.

Jake let his dragon chi flow to his hands so they glowed blue, then crossed them and shouted, "DRAGON UP!" Fire consumed his body as he jumped into the air and hovered there, his face tilted downwards at Brad.

Brad peed his pants…again. Jake's phone, which he was holding in his tail, rang. It was Lao Shi.

"Hello?"

"JAKE, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!"

As Lao Shi shouted, everyone noticed Jake pale and drop the phone.

"Rose, you might want to come with me to central park…"
