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 : our day together of course
Haley : but what made you want to spend time with me ?
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
