Jake was listening to music on his ipod while being in the bathroom his mom was standing there watching him with her arms folded in front of her chest so he stopped listening to his music on his ipod pulling out the mall ear buds that came with the ipod

Jake : hey mom what's up ?

Susan : i need you to watch over your grandpa's shop while he's gone

Jake : so what's the special occasion he has a date finally ?

Susan : oh no it's not that i convinced him to spend time with you sister

Jake : let me guess it's about what has went on the last couple of days ?

Susan : yes see i'm trying to prevent her from dying by any means in order to prevent me from feeling guilt

Jake : you're not a bad parent

Susan : i know but i feel like i'm a bad mother for not being there to catch you or her if you fell

Jake : right well i can watch over the shop while gramps away

Susan : Rose is going to be there along with Spud & Trixie

Jake : Spud and Trixie i could agree with but why Rose ?

Susan : because she's our alley and you and her could have some time together she would love nothing better to spend time with you

Jake : i don't know if can be around her while watching over the shop i'll get nervous

Susan : don't worry it won't be so bad

Jake : you're right i'll give it try and see what happens

Luong Lao Shi was in his dragon form flying around until he reached the house there he lands on the doormat transforming into his short human form knocking on the door hearing the knock Susan's husband who was adjusting his tie goes to the door

Jonathan : hello Father In Law this is unexpected

Luong Lao Shi : is Haley here right now ?

Luong Lao Shi : we're going to spend the day together since i never had the chance to spend time together with me running the shop and all

Jonathan : yeah i know how you feel my job is killer but i manage to survive

Luong Lao Shi : that's the only thing we can do

entering the house now hearing the t.v on and Haley's laughter at the cartoon that she was watching Luong Lao Shi stops once he sees her laughing being cheerful her smile alone made his day 100 times better than it already was

Luong Lao Shi : Haley

Haley : grandpa is good to see you

Luong Lao Shi : because i just empty inside that's all not being close to the family

Haley : this is going to be great

Luong Lao shi & Haley were leaving now Haley went ahead of him he was about to leave when Susan tapped him on the shoulder telling to make sure that she doesn't suspect a thing they both eye winked at each other finally heading out the door transforming into his dragon form

Luong Lao Shi : okay now that we got that taken care of

Haley : i can't do that like you and Jake can

Luong Lao Shi : don't worry i'll help you have a dragon for this season

Haley : okay

climbing on his back he flaps his dark blue dragon wings away with her holding on tight now flying through the air Jake's sister had closed her eyes to feel the wind blowing in her face Jake & Susan were now getting into her car to pick up Spud & Trixie first before picking up Rose Trixe was with him waiting tapping her left foot while Spud was drinking his Sprite soda

Trixie : great now i have to watch the shop instead of playing NBA Live on my xbox

Spud : you have a xbox ?

Trixie : of course i have a xbox my dad brought for me when i was 12 years old for my birthday

Spud : wow

Trixie : what about you ?

Spud : i had a stuff zebra for my birthday

before Trixie could say anything Susan pulls in her car and they get in through the back seat then drives away now going to pick up Rose who was sitting on the stairs still excited about this nothing was going to ruin this moment for her two hearts replaced her eyes Susan pulls up honking the car horn forcing her to stop standing up now running down the steps getting into her car where she looks over past Spud & Trixie focusing on her boyfriend which made him a little nervous

Luong Lao Shi : okay Haley you seen Jake do shape-shift his body

Haley : yes he always says 'Dragon Up " when he does it

Loung Lao Shi : that's correct even do he doesn't say all the time can you do that for me ?

Haley : okay

she started to say her brother's catchphrase then it was accompanied by a purple mystical flame across her body extending her left arm with her hand closed making a fist shape-shifting into a purple dragon's hand with her clothes being replace by a purple dragon channeling her dragon chi throughout her entire body her head was replace with a dragon's head along with her neck being replaced two purple dragon wings appeared on her back around her neck a purple dragon snout purple scales going down her back all the way to the tail her black hair was still in her pigtail form with the four purple beads along with five purple dragon nails Yan Yan was watching from the tree at Haley in her season 1 dragon form

Haley : it worked

Luong Lao Shi : yes and i'm proud

Haley : thank you grandpa !

flying toward him with her arms out in front of her flying straight into his arms he smiled enjoying every moment elsewhere Jake , Rose , Trixie & Spud were at the shop watching it Rose continued to watch Jake and his every movement

Trixie : Rose...Rose yo earth to Rose !

Spud : it looks like she's in some kind of trance

Trixie : yeah looking at Jake all the damn time

Rose : i can hear you Trixie

Trixie : good

Rose comes from behind the encounter annoyed with Trixie now goes to the sofa sitting next to Jake who was listening to this song but stopped after feeling the warmth coming from her placing his ipod down on the table

Jake : Rose what's up ?

Rose : nothing much i just want to tell you something that i never told at the party i really like you and i want to be your girlfriend

Jake : hold on Rose i thought you liked Brad ?

Rose : no that guy is a jerk and he kept on flirting with me when i wasn't in the mood and despite being a dragon you were there for me

Jake : i just try to be normal and fit but it always backfires

Rose : that's what makes you different and i like that about you

Jake : well now what do you want to do ?

Rose : since we didn't get to kiss you do the kiss that was in the school play ?

Jake : sure

holding her hands both Jake & Rose closed their eyes leaning to kiss each other like in the intro of the Amercian Dragon Jake Long but this time it was real Jake's daydream came true they kissed Trixie's mouth was wide open but Spud was calm supporting him back at the park Luong Lao Shi were feeding the birds that was in the pond pieces of their bread it was time to go now so they left the park and he takes her home Susan opens the door and Haley runs inside quickly paying Susan some money

Susan : so did she suspect anything ?

Luong Lao Shi : no she didn't everything worked out according to plan

Susan : thank you dad you really took a load off my shoulders

Luong Lao Shi : you're quite welcome i must go now

Susan : okay see you later

Trixie : alright we're so going to expose you in front of everyone in school for this

Rose : you wouldn't dare

Trixie : try me !

Spud : we should get going now we'll see you later Jake

pulling her away yelling throwing her arms around while Spud was holding her with his arms with a tight grip hitting him in the head Rose gets up and leaves as well waving goodbye to Jake at the same time Luong Lao Shi was returning opening the door seeing Jake being the only one there

Jake : your store is one piece nothing dangerous happened

Luong Lao Shi : that's good thank you for watching over the shop

Jake : your welcome well i should be heading home as well

leaving his grandpa's shop feeling good now that Rose likes him for him walking away from the shop now he was going to Susan and Jonathan when he gets back about what she told him hoping that they approve of the American Dragon & the Huntsgirl being together as a couple
