Alright! Someone else reviewed, and as promised, another chapter!

Onej6: It's ok! I'm not blaming anyone or getting mad at them for not reviewing! I can totally understand that we all have lives. Heck, I have uni stuff to take care of. But thanks anyway. And yeah, isn't it amazing? That's why fanfiction is so great! We never run out of imagination :D

TO EVERYONE: Please take my "Please review"s as playful bantering! :) I just want to know what you guys are thinking about my story.

Once again: I still don't own ADJL...it's only been a couple of hours! I can't already own a multi-million [or is it billion?] dollar company ;)

====== 9 years later, when our young heroes find themselves at 22 years old

==In Washington

Rose woke up to her sister shaking her, already in uniform, and it's not the easiest thing to wake up staring into the face of a growling caricature.

"Rose, you have to get up now, we have a dragon here."

Rose shot up like she had been attacked. She quickly dressed, and she put on her mask. She liked hers, it was of a laughing caricature. Her parents are always joking about comedy and tragedy so it was only fitting that while her sister wore tragedy, she would wear comedy.

She went down to the living room, and she saw one of the dragons she had hoped never to face again, the Elder Dragon.

"Ah, we're all here. My apologies to keep you waiting kind sir, what can the Protectors do to help you?" Her dad asked.

"I am truly sorry to have troubled you. It has to do with the Huntsclan and the American Dragon." The Elder Dragon replied, and Rose was glad for the mask or else everyone would have seen her pale at this. Violet, knowing her sister enough, grabbed her hand and gave a comforting squeeze.

"You see, the American Dragon doesn't know I am here, he thinks I am off somewhere in the Isle of Draco. I am afraid for his well-being. The Huntsclan has gotten more vicious since the new Huntsmaster murdered the Committee and made himself the Supreme Ruler, not caring if harmless people are being hurt, including humans. They have lately been targeting the American Dragon more ferociously, hurting his current Animal Guardian, and causing the Animal Guardian to be bed ridden. What I have come to ask is that you send someone to New York with me to quietly keep an eye out for him. You would need to remain hidden and only help him from the shadows, or else he will get suspicious of me. He won't take any other Guardians after a bad experience with an evil guardian who ended up betraying him."

"Well Sir, I think we can offer you more. We'll give you both Knight and Angel over to you, will that be alright with you?" Her mom replied.

"Most satisfying and pleasing. Prepare your stuff, and come to New York at once. I trust you won't need any help with finding an apartment?" The elder dragon replied.

"No Sir. We'll be just fine. We have an apartment from where we can take care of everything." Violet replied because Rose was speechless and terrified at having to confront her ex-arch-enemy once again, only this time to help him.

She was shaken out of her stupor by Vi, who was literally slowly shaking her while talking to her. The Elder Dragon had already left it seems, and her parents were preparing things for the departure, and they had to get to their rooms to get their bags so that they could leave.

"Rose, you ok? You seemed out of it back there. Did you have to deal with this dragon before when you were part of them?"

"Huh? Yeah, it's going to be interesting. I wonder who is the new leader? We never had anyone who went that far out to actually go for humans. Even we kept ourselves hidden."

"Relax, no one will know we're there, plus, he can probably take care of himself. What really intrigues me is how you still refer to those freaks as 'we.' Not thinking of leaving us are you sis?"

"Ha-ha, very funny. I don't know about taking care of himself, he sometimes messed things up so badly, not to mention the amount of times I saw him in his boxers. I'm surprised he's still in one piece. And don't worry, after that day when I found out I was kidnapped, all I want to do is punch them in the face, or kill them, but someone beat me to it."

"When you get angry, you get really passionate. No wonder guys seem to run away from just talking to you. Isn't that what happened to some guys, like the one you're always talking about? Drake or something like that?"

"Vi, I swear, you keep doing this on purpose. His name is Jake, as you very well know. Plus, that was nine years ago, and I've had lots of other boyfriends."

"Key word here: had. You never stay with one guy for too long! Why?"

"Because...I don't know, what if they find out who I am, or worse, what I was! I mean, it's freaky enough that my job is to protect magical creatures, but that I also used to slay them, and wanted to slay them is way too freaky. Plus, most of them were jerks that were only interested in my looks."

"Why didn't we switch? I don't mind. If they just want looks, I can offer plenty of that."

The twins laughed, and Vi looked at her twin sister. It was so hard to believe, even after all those years, that she had a sister, and a twin sister at that. She looked just like her, they had the same lithe body that appeared to be fragile, but in reality, they were quite strong and agile. Blond hair that went past her shoulders, and azure eyes that were like deep pools of water. The only difference was Rose's dragon birthmark, which Rose covered up every day with makeup, the same way she covered up her past.

They finished packing and went downstairs to where her parents were, holding out their plane tickets, and letting them know about their apartment address, and that the Elder Dragon only required them for a month, until the Animal Guardian was back to normal.

They got on a plane and made their way to New York.

"Yo Fu! Can't you heal any faster! That way Gramps can stop trying to shove me with another guardian!" Jake, like Rose, has also grown in the past 9 years. He had a growth spurt and was now quite tall, but otherwise he still had the same black hair with the green tips on it.

"Geez, will you calm down kid? I'm doin' the best I can! You try to make a potion to heal a Sharpei that's more than 700 years old!"

The back door of the shop opened, and Trixie and Spud came in. They had also grown, and Spud had now ditched his hat, and now had a small stubble, while Trixie decided to let her fashion sense out and was always sporting the newest and trendiest things.

"Hey dude, we heard what happened with you and Fu, you guys ok?"

"Spudinski! Obviously they're ok, or else they wouldn't be there!" And, if you haven't guessed it, Trixie and Spud are engaged.

"Well sorry dearest, but they might be hiding the pain inside..." at that moment, Trixie grabbed her handbag and smacked Spud.

"Won't you ever end with your crazy-"

"Guys! We're fine, I'm more worried that my Gramps is going to go bonkers in trying to find me a Gu- Hey G! Whattup! How was Draco?" Jake saved himself at the last minute, and none too smoothly.

"Young Dragon, could you please leave, I need to speak to Fu Dog, and would prefer it if you let Fu rest while he recovers."

"Sure thing G."

And so the three old friends left the shop, and started making their way to Central Park. Then Jake's phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey honey, how're you?" It was Danika, his long-time girlfriend, whom he had ditched last night, and he was sure that the overly sweet tone was going to be gone soon. Meanwhile he would pay dumb, naively hoping she wasn't calling about last night.

"I'm good, what's up?"

"What's up, honey? I'll tell you what's up Jacob Long!" uh oh "the problem is that you just ditch me randomly and don't even let me know where you went or whether you're alright, and I've had enough of it, we're through, and don't bother to try and make up, because I won't hear it!" And she hung up.

"GAH! Could today get any worse?"

"What happened Jakey? Mama Trixie is here"

"Danika broke up with me, permanently!"

"That's harsh dude! And what's worse is that this will keep going on because you're the AmDrag."

"For once, Spudinski is right Jakey! If you want to have a relationship with someone, they need to know about you and be able to accept you."

"Whatever, let's go and eat, pizza's on me. And I can finish telling you guys about last night."

Well that's that chapter folks! Thing is that these chapters were already wirtten out so right now it's just copying and pasting. This is going to be long [No pun intedned] :) Hope you guys like long stories [once again, no pun intended] :D

ANs: Elder Dragon refers to Lao Shi, as he was called by the Huntsclan. The evil guardian mentioned by Lao Shi is none other than Bananas B, the crazy monkey that's with Chang. And yes, although I said that things changed after the ski trip, that doesn't mean the rest of the second season didn't happen, it just happened differently, so Danika and Jake went out, like on the show, but they stayed together, for all this time, but on a rocky relationship.

Well, at least I managed to cut the cheesiness down...a bit. Please review and make me smile!

If I get one more review I might post the next chapter today...if not, tomorrow!

Once again, I'm not trying to force anyone to review, I just want a sound-off board to make sure my story is ok, and if there's something wrong, how should I change it?:D

Also, if anyone has any questions, let me know as well...those count as reviews too!

Ok, I'm done :)
