Disclaimer: I own Butterfly. She's MINE! If you want her, ask first, please.

Here's to my reviewers:

YFWE: Hasta luego means "Until later." I'm so sorry about your flame. Don't take it seriously. I like DIP. Mr. "Anonamous" is stupid anyways. You definitely don't deserve a flame. :throws YFWE a chocolate chip cookie: There. Does that make you feel better? A cookie always makes me feel better. Oh and also, I was showing my friend my stories, and she gave me the idea for this story. I thought it was funny. I should say that you're really stupid for not figuring out who the student is, but I won't because you're not stupid, just a bit on the slow side. Geez, I would have thought that you could have figured it out, of all people. :rolls her eyes: God, I'm surrounded by idiots.

IndependentGirl: It's not too hard to figure out. Here's your update.

Lunar Lilly Muse: Thanks for reading my profile. Um, I'll be sure to watch for your update. I like that story.

Worker72: Well, it's just that in one of the episodes Jake got chewed out for being late for training, and this is an important day for him, too.

Chapter 2: The Photograph

Jake turned into a human and turned back to Grandpa.

"Haley!" he cried. "But, why?"

"She is a dragon as well. She must be trained also, and I am training you. So her trainer will be you," Grandpa said in his prophetic voice. Fu Dog began talking.

"Basically he's too lazy to find anybody else to train your sister, so he's making you do it," he translated. Grandpa glared at Fu Dog, who shrugged his shoulders. Jake, defeated, sighed and turned to Haley.

"Okay, if I must, let's start with the basics," Jake said. Satisfied, Grandpa and Fu Dog left. "Do as I do. Dragon UP!" With that phrase, Jake turned into a dragon. His little sister Haley tried the same thing.

"Dragon up!" she said, and nothing happened. "Why isn't it working, Jake?" she asked, upset.

"Haley, you have to concentrate. Just saying it won't do it. You have to think it," he said. "Now try."

"Dragon up!" she said again, and she transformed into a purple dragon, a bit smaller than her brother. She opened her eyes and grinned. "I did it!"

"Yes, and now we know the identity of another dragon," a voice said. The camera lowered and a woman with brown hair and blue-green eyes looked out into the city. "Huntsmaster, I have discovered the identity of a new dragon. It is a little girl with black hair. It seems that she is close to the American Dragon. Maybe they are siblings."

"Very good, Butterfly," Huntsman said. "Thorn," he said, handing another girl a photograph. This girl had blonde hair and blue eyes. "Take this and find out the little girl's name. Then find out her relation to the American Dragon's dragon master. That should help us find out the American Dragon's relation to the dragon master and the little girl, therefore figuring out his human identity."

"Then we can slay him in his sleep," Thorn said, smiling under her mask. She took the photograph. "As soon as this develops, I will do as you ask."

"Very good, Thorn. You have done well," Huntsman said.

"Okay, Haley, let's try something else," Jake said. "How about...flying?"

"Okay," Haley said, instantly cheered up. "How are we gonna do that?" Her forehead frowned and she looked at her brother questioningly.

"I'm going to give you a head start, and you have to believe that you can fly. And keep it in your head that you're a dragon, or you'll turn back and fall," Jake said. Haley laughed and Jake glared at her. "Believe me, you don't want that to happen. Especially when you're fighting Thorn."

"I'm sorry, I think I heard my name," a voice said. Haley looked around, but Jake jumped to his left, dodging Thorn's blast.

"Sorry, baby, but I've got work to do," Jake said. Before he could do anything, though, there were two arms around his neck. "What the?"

"Meet my new partner, Butterfly," Thorn said, smirking. "She's the best of the best." Jake threw Butterfly to the ground.

"Obviously the best isn't too good if that's all she's got," Jake said. Butterfly stood up, ready to attack, when Thorn held her hand up.

"C'mon, Butterfly. We've got a photo to analyze," Thorn said, glancing towards the purple dragon, who was hiding behind a cement block. The two girls disappeared and Jake turned into a human.

"What were they talking about?" Jake asked. "A photo? Of what?"

"She looked at me when she said it," Haley said.

"Oh no. We've got to get that picture before they find out who you are," Jake said.

Rose sat in her room. She took the picture out of her drawer. She studied it carefully, then noticed something. The American Dragon wasn't in the picture. Where was he, then? Something then caught her eye. An arm. A human's arm. The American Dragon had been a human when this picture was taken.

What is the world coming to? This is the end of Chapter 2. I know this isn't what the summary says, but I'm getting to that part. Is Rose going to find out who the American Dragon is? What about Haley? And where does Rotwood fit into all of this! AHHHHHH:runs away:

Hasta luego.
