Chapter 10: Reunion (short xD)

Note: To clear some things up. My argument for Jake not believing Rose, here's why. If someone told you they had a dream, of your worst enemy, and they think that they came back from a wish that had them stuck in a vortex for entirety? I would have a bit of trouble of believing that… :) Even so, Rose probably could have convinced Jake to believing her, if she spent more time in the dream realm, so she could explain herself. But since she got cut off short, Jake doesn't know much.

Jake slept in, that Saturday morning, as usual. But once he did wake up, he jolted up. A lot when down, during the night. And he had to think it over a bit…

Then finally, he did get out of bed. He hopped downstairs, and grabbed a bagel. And without his parents noticing, he left the house.

As most Saturday mornings, Jake spent it doing hours of Dragon Training, with Lao Shi. So this day, was just his daily routine. He dragoned up, and flew toward Gramp's shop.

Once he arrived at the front door, he dragoned down. He entered through the shops, and stared at Fu.

"Whaddup Fu?" He said, finishing up the last of his bagel, as he sat down on the couch.

Fu was typing super fast, on his computer. "Ahh, just checking the latest stock updates. Think I'm down a couple of bucks…"Fu said, as this was usually the case.

Jake looked around the whole shop. Then he stood up, and looked in the back room. "Where's G" He asked.

Fu, still concentrated on the computer, answered Jake without moving his eyes of the screen. "Ahh, the old man had a meeting with the Dragon Council. Won't be back until tonight."

"Really?" Jake said, jumping up and down. "Awesome!" He said, excited that he had a whole Saturday to do whatever. But instead of leaving, Jake sat back down, on the couch. "Fu?" I said in a very mellow, calm voice. "Is there any way… that the Huntsman could return from that vortex, thingy?"

Fu dog entered in one last thing, and then he moved his chair around, so he could face Jake. "Uhh, not that I know of…" Fu dog twirled back around, now typing on his computer once more. "Why do you ask?"

Jake wondered if he should tell him, what Rose told him about. About her theory, that the Huntsman has returned. He decided though, that he should wait. Wait and make sure, if it really did happen or not. "Just wondering…" He smiled. He then got up, and grabbed his helmet and skateboard. "Well, I'm off to the skate park to see Trixie and Spud. Since, I have a day off today!" I cheered once more, and then he left the shop.

Rose and her family arrived in New York, at about 11:45 p.m. Once they checked in a hotel, Rose grabbed her Huntstaff out of a bag. She then headed into the main room, out by the doorway.

"Rose, where are you going to go?" Roxanne asked, staring at her sister as she tried to exit the hotel.

"I'm going to search around the city. It shouldn't be long," She said, walking out the door.

"Let me come!" Her sister yelled at her, before she walked away.

Rose looked from outside the room, through the door. "No, you guys stay here. It's not safe…"

"All come on Rose!" Roxanne went down on her knees, begging to go.

Rose gave her sister a stern look, but it didn't have must affect on her. Just then, their dad walked up to them. "Go ahead Rose, we'll stay here. And be careful, out there…" He said. Rose let out a smile to him, and then she ran out of the building.

"Awww, Rose always gets to have all the fun!" Roxanne dropped her arms, and acted like if she was going to pout.

Their mother walked up to him, and grabbed his shoulder. "Are we really going to let her go out alone?" She said, still worried for the safety of her daughter.

He didn't glance at his wife; instead, he proceeded to stare forward. He had a giant grin, on his face. "Yeah. Seems are little girl's life has been through so much already. And she really does like that one guy, and I trust her to do the right thing."

Roxanne got up off the floor, and stared at her parents. "So, are we really going to stay in the hotel all day? Because the way I see, it, we're on vacation. And even though we lived here like a month ago, I still see no reason why we can't spend it doing something." She said, crossing her arms.

Both her parents stared at one another, and then looked back at their daughter. "Of course honey!" her mom said grabbing her purse.

Then the three of them started walking out of the hotel. "Oh you know what I want to see? The Statue of Liberty." Her dad spoke, as they entered to the lobby. "I've lived here almost my whole life, and I haven't seen Lady Liberty yet…"

Jake headed down the street. Even though he had his skateboard in his hand, he didn't skate. He slowly walked down the street, pacing his thoughts…

Suddenly, he saw someone running down the street. He squinted his eyes, to see that it was someone familiar. "Rose!?" He screamed aloud.

"Jake!!" Rose said, but not in the same happy tone as Jake had said her name.

Jake ran down the sidewalk, over to her. "Wait?" He paused, "What are you doing-"

"Jake! The Huntsman is here in New York! He says he wants to seek his revenge on you!"

Jake, stopped in his tracks, pondering all of this. "How did he get to New York?"

"Never mind that. He knows your identity; you have to get away before he finds you!" Rose said, running past Jake.

"Wait!" He turned around, running after until he was close enough to her. "Where is he now?"

Suddenly, someone jumped from the sky. It was of course, the Huntsmaster! (Great timing isn't it?) He jabbed down his Huntstaff at Jake, but Jake jumped out of the way before it could injure his human body...

Short chapter, I know :). I was going to make it longer, but then that'd mean that this would be the last chapter. Which means, that the next chapter OR the chapter after that, will be the end for this story. I know it went by quick, but expect a TREQUEL! (if that's a word. And if I could get some more details for my idea).
