Chapter
Four
Jake yawned as he sat up, "Gee, I can't believe I actually got to sleep," Jake remarked with a smile. He looked around; there was no way to tell what on earth the time was.
"I wonder if Supers are part of the magical community." Jake said to himself. He decided to show them his human form, "I'll even be able to amaze that kid, Dash," he said proudly.
"Besides, the Dragon Council oughta be okay with it, these guys aren't exactly normal humans," Jake reassured himself.
He looked up, 'I wonder if their still asleep,' "YO! Are you guys up there?" he said loudly, hoping they'd hear, "Awake?" He waited for a while. Finally, he heard footsteps.
Dash arrived in front of him first, something Jake expected, considering the fact that the kid had super speed.
"Morningjakehowyoudoindidyasleepwellonthatoldthing?" Dash asked quickly.
"Uh… watcha say?" Jake asked.
Dash looked annoyed but he soon realized he probably said what he said too fast. "I said, 'Morning, Jake, how you doin? Did ya sleep well on that old thing?'"
"Oh, uh… fine, I am fine and I slept fine," Jake replied. Jake looked at the door before facing Dash, "What the heck is taking your mom so long?"
"Uh… she's probably talkin' to dad," Dash answered, he leaned closer to Jake, "Ya see, they're still a little worried about having you around."
Jake raised an eyebrow, "Is that an insult?" he asked.
"Uh…"
Before Dash could answer, the door opened and in walked Helen, followed by a big, tall guy, Jake didn't know, and behind them was a thin girl, probably around Jake's age.
"Jake, this is my dad," Dash said, pointing at the tall guy.
"Uh… hi," Jake said unsurely.
"Gooood mooorniiiing, draagooon" he said slowly. He waved at good morning and pointed at Jake when he said dragon, "We meeaan yooouu nooo haaarm," He pointed at himself, "My naaame iiisss Booob Paaarr,"
Jake waved at Bob, "Gooood mooorniiiing, Booob," Jake said, just as slowly, "Why aarre yooouu taaalkiiing liiike thaaaat?"
"Do you think he understood me?" Bob whispered to his wife.
Jake heard him, "Well, DUH! Why you talkin' to me like that?"
"Uh… well… I thought… I didn't know… I…"
"Well now ya know us dragons talk and understand you." Jake said.
"We have several questions for you, Jake," Helen stated.
"Yeah, and what might they be?" Jake asked.
"Who was that other dragon, the black one?" Helen asked.
"Uh…" Jake decided to be honest with them, "The Dark Dragon,"
"Is that just a title or is it his real name?" asked the girl.
"I dunno," Jake shrugged, we all call him that.
"There's more of you?" Dash asked excitedly.
"Uh… I can't tell you that …yet"
"Tell us about him," said Bob.
"He's jus' some crazed dude out to take over the world, been inviting me to join for quite a while," Jake replied.
'Dude… don't teenagers say that?' Violet thought, 'he does sound like a teen, too,'
"Is anyone looking for you?" Bob asked.
"Uh… well… my parents might be getting worried," Jake said "Gramps and Fu might be searchin for me,"
"Cool! More dragons in the house!" Dash said excitedly.
"Uh… well… actually…" Jake wondered how he was supposed to tell them, his black eyes darted to and fro, trying to find something that would help. "my parents... aren't exactly… dragons." Jake answered.
"What do you mean?" Helen asked.
"Well… you see… I'm not exactly… uh… say… a full dragon," Jake said, "I mean I'm like… human too,"
Everyone stared at Dash when he began laughing. Dash stopped and looked at Jake and his family, "You were serious?" he asked.
"Yeah," Jake answered.
"Why don't you show us?" Violet said quietly.
Jake looked at Violet, "I didn't catch you're name,"
"Violet," Violet answered.
"A'right, here's my human form." Jake shape-shifted into his human form.
Jake watched as everyone stared at him with their mouths wide open, "Uh… tada!"
"Wow!" Dash finally said, "Can you teach me to do that?" he pleaded.
"Whoa, whoa, sorry, bro," Jake said, "Only we can turn into dragons,"
"Aw," Dash whined.
"So… uh… are any of y'all gonna close your mouths an' snap out of it?" Jake asked.
"Are… are all dragons able to do that?" Helen asked.
"Uh… yeah," Jake answered.
"Are you everywhere, all around us, living lives with us?" Bob asked.
Jake was no longer sure if showing them his human form was a good idea, "Yeah, we live lives like you guys, and at the same time protect y'all and mythical creatures."
A thousand more questions were poured down by Bob and Helen, and occasionally, Dash.
"Is there really a whole bunch o' magical creatures livin' among us?"
"Yeah,"
"COOL!"
"Are most of you good?"
"Yeah, except for the Dark Dragon and his minions."
"What does his human form look like?"
"I dunno,"
"Why have dragons never revealed themselves to us Supers?"
"I've got no idea,"
Before another question could be thrown at Jake, crying was heard. "Well, sounds like Jack-Jack's awake and hungry, and I bet Jake is too." Violet said.
"Thank goodness! I thought that would never end!" Jake said thankfully.
"Oh, sorry," Helen apologized, "We got carried away."
"Gee, I didn't notice," Jake said sarcastically.
"Can you put weight on your ankle?" Helen asked.
Jake tried, his ankle wasn't as painful as the night before, but it still hurt. "A bit," Jake replied he stood up and put his weight on his other leg. "So," Jake said, "I seem to be a guest, so can I eat at the dining room with eating utensils?"
"Yes,"
"Thanks!"
Jake sat on a chair next to Violet, eating hungrily. Jack-Jack watched him, giggling at the sight. "Slow down, Jake," Violet said, "It's not like I'm gonna take your food away from you."
Jake began choking, Jack-Jack laughed louder. After a series of coughs Jake finally swallowed the piece of bacon.
"I told you," Violet said.
Once he was finished, Jake asked if he could use their phone.
Jake waited as he sat on the living room couch, playing with the phone's wire. "Come on! Answer your phone already!"
Finally he heard the familiar voice of Fu, "Talk to the Fu,"
"Fu! Finally! Man, I've been waitin' forever!" Jake said.
"Jake! You're alright! Where the heck are you, kid?" Fu asked.
Jake gave Fu the address, he waited while Fu and his grandfather argued about the quickest route. "Uh… Fu?" Jake said quietly.
"Yeah, kid?" Fu replied.
"Jus' tell mom an' dad not to worry, I'm fine. Mr. Parr said I can stay while waiting for big, black and ugly to reappear." Jake told him.
"Oh, all right, are you sure?" Fu asked.
"Yeah,"
"Fine, I'll tell Gramps."
"Good luck,"
"Thanks, kid. Bye!"
The Parr family and Jake sat together at the living room that afternoon, listening to Bob, who was telling them an idea.
"I've got a plan," said Bob, "We could pretend Jake is a Super, turning into a dragon would be his power, then, when the Dark Dragon appears we fight him together!"
"I dunno," Jake said.
"Come on, Jake," Dash insisted. "It'll be cool fighting together."
"Besides, you need all the help you can get," Helen added.
"I guess you're right," Jake agreed.
"But wouldn't Jake need a costume?" Violet asked.
"Of course, we just need to let one more person in on Jake's secret and that's it."
"Just one more," Jake said.
"Yes, she'll be the last." Bob nodded.
"But first we need to let Jake's ankle heal." Helen said, "Then we can practice fighting, I want to see Jake in action."
"Okay, I'm fine with that," Jake said.
