Rose's Family meets Jake

It's a normal day at the Long household when they hear the door bell. "Who could that be?" Jonathan asks.

"I don't know, dear." Susan replies. "I'm not expecting any visitors. Are you, kids?"

Both Jake and Haley answer negatively. Jonathan then answers the door and finds a man, a woman and a blonde girl.

"Rose?" Jake asks once he sees the girl.

"No." Her father answers. "But the fact you mistook Lily for her is proof that you know her."

"Please." Rose's mother pleads. "We're desperate for news about her."

"Look, I know how much Rose wants a real family but she's afraid of what that cult that raised her would do." Jake replies. "Even if I ever find out where Rose is, I wouldn't tell unless she is okay with this."

"I understand." Rose's father replies.

"Hey, I recognize you!" Lily exclaims, pointing at Jake. "You're one of those kids Sigmund Brock locked in a cage thinking one of them was a dragon."

"Uh, yeah."

"Never mind that, Lily." Rose's Mom replies. "Let's go."

Later on, the Longs go to the Island of Draco so the Dragon Council could evaluate Jonathan and decide if he can be trusted with the secret. Unbeknownst to them, Rose's family was following them. As the Longs enter the elevator, Rose's family notices the unusual way Lao Shi pushes the elevator buttons.

LINE BREAK – The Council Room

"Jonathan Long, how long have you been known your wife came from a family of dragons?" Councillor Andam asks.

"Since 1986, when my son came from the future trying to create a timeline where he'd never get in trouble hiding the truth from me." Jonathan explains, making the Councillors glare at Jake. "After they rescued me from the Huntsclan, they tricked me into thinking the whole thing was a dream. I wasn't sure but since Jake had told me about being from the future, I decided to keep my doubts from myself because otherwise I'd be either wrong and look crazy or right and increase any damages Jake caused with his time travel."

"American Dragon, things like that make me wonder if we should suspend your powers again." Councillor Andam comments.

Lao Shi glares at him. "What does he mean by 'again', young dragon?"

"We'll leave you both alone to discuss this while we deliberate about trusting Jonathan Long with the secret, Lao Shi." Kulde replies and the Councillors leave.

After a long conversation (that included a lot of yelling from Lao Shi), Jake approaches Rose. "Rose, there's something you must know."

"What's it, Jake?" Rose asks, worry evident at her voice.

"Well…"

"Light Dragon, American Dragon, we got an intruder alert." A dragon warns.
