Thanks to all my reviewers. I know if you didn't want to read this you could just do something else. No one's forcing to read, so I really appreciate those who are here because they want to be.
I'm sorry the chapter's so short: I didn't want to focus on Copy Jake, Spud, Trixie, or Jonathon Long quite yet.
Also, I use a word of German in here. The translation is at the bottom.
Disclaimer: I'm not nearly wealthy enough to own either American Dragon. I do not own any metropolis in Asia, that belongs to the government there.
"I made it!" Jake shouted. "Now off to Rose's house!"
Jake paused for a moment then yelled at nothing in particular, "Aw man! I should've realized that I don't have Rose's address! Even if I am in Hong Kong, it's going to take forever to find Rose!"
Jake took a few seconds to calm down. "No problem, Jake! I'll just ask anyone if they've seen a new girl move into their neighborhood." He skimmed over the city, looking for an deserted area to change to human and keeping his eyes peeled for any blond girls.
Down below Jake, on his vacation, a German-American wearing a suit-coat with patched elbows sensed a shadow pass over his head. He looked up abruptly.
"What's this? The elusive dragon from New York? And I have a camera! Ausgezeichnet! I, Hans Rotwood, will finally be recognized by the scientific community! I've just got to take a few pictures!"
Rotwood ran down the street, shoving various people in foot traffic aside. "Out of my way you, hooligans! I've got a scientific discovery to make!"
He sprinted, barely managing to keep up with Jake, over the streets. Pulling out a digital camera, he aimed the camera at the dragon a shot.
"At last! I finally have evidence that magical creatures exist! It's simply marvelous!" Rotwood stopped as black enveloped the screen.
"What! How can this be? I took a picture of the dragon! I know I did!" He turned it over furiously, looking for a problem with the camera.
He found a black cover over one of the most important parts of the camera. "I took a picture of the lens cap!" he wailed, realizing his mistake.
Rotwood's face hardened. "Very well, dragon. I'll get you next time. Don't think you can avoid it because I'll be watching!"
Translation:
Ausgezeichnet! - Excellent!
