Disclaimer: I do not own ADJL, or any of its characters. The only things I own are this story, my idea for the story, and my OC.
Author's Note: This is going to be short, yeah. I didn't plan on it being very long, this is just supposed to tie up some loose ends.
Chapter VI
-2 weeks later-
Jake smirked and did a somersault in the air. He managed to dodge the fireball sent at him by Trixie. Spud came in and held him down; well, as down as possible when you're flying in the air. Jake struggled in his grip and saw Trixie loading another fireball. He got an idea and did a 180 flip, bringing Spud forward and directly into the fireball's path. It hit Spud in the back and he let go of Jake, who sped away, laughing. Trixie and Spud chased after him.
Lao Shi and the Dragon Council watched from the roof of the shop. Fu Dog stood back a ways, somewhat wary of so many powerful creatures in one place. Not all of the Council agreed, but it was a form of a democracy, so a vote had to take place. More Council members voted yes, while only one voted no. So Trixie and Spud kept their powers, but were farther back in line for the title of 'American Dragon'. The Council members decided that their 'birth' as dragons was not at the same time they were born, so it set them behind Haley. Not that it mattered to them. They were happy enough to keep their powers and be able to help Jake to a greater extent than before.
Fora came up onto the roof and stood next to Fu Dog. He looked up at her. She looked sad, and that was understandable. She had lost her brother, the last known remaining member of her family. Even if she did attack him back in Rose's house, they were still family. And now he was dead.
"How are you doing?" Fu Dog asked. He waited, but received no answer. He turned back to watch Jake fly up and have Spud and Trixie fly headfirst into each other. Fora spoke then, and she was quiet.
"I feel like I should; miserable. And yet, I feel hope. Just because my father has died, and now my brother, does not mean all hope is lost. My mother is still alive, and I have new friends. New York has become my new home, and today is a new day."
