Chapter 8 – The New Sidekicks
Comments from the author: Well, no one sent any suggestions for anything to add to my story, but that's okay. I got chapter eight for you. I changed the name of the chapter and also note that Trixie and Spud already know about Jake's secret identity in this story. It took me days to think, but I finally thought of an event. You'll find out later on in the story on how Trixie and Spud will do and succeed the mission. Anyways, here's your eighth chapter:
Jake got out his cell phone and dialed a number. The phone rang on the other line. "Hello, who is this?" The voice on the other line asked.
"Hey Mrs. Carter, it's Jake. Is Trixie home?" Jake asked. "Oh sure. She's just upstairs." She replied. Mrs. Carter gently put the phone down and called Trixie.
"Trixie! Your friend, Jake is on the other line!" she yelled to Trixie. "Okay! Thanks mom!" Trixie yelled back. She then headed downstairs and grabbed the phone.
"Hey Jakey. What's up?" Trixie asked. "Well, I need your help." Jake said. "Oh, and can you bring Spud with you too?" He asked. "Sure thing, Jakey. I'll be there in a jiffy." Trixie said. They both hung up.
"Who did you call?" Grandpa asked. "You'll see Gramps." Jake said.
When Trixie and Spud arrived at the hospital, they greeted Jake. "Gramps, meet Trixie and Spud." Jake said, pointing to them.
"Your friends? How can they benefit from this mission?" Grandpa asked. "Don't worry about a thing Gramps. Trixie and Spud will make great sidekicks." Jake said.
"As you wish, young one." Grandpa said. He then looked at Trixie and Spud.
"Young ones, since you both know that Jake is sick, then you also know that he can not do any dragon duties." Grandpa stated. "Yeah." They both chorused in.
"Okay. To proceed with the mission, then come to the shop tomorrow before sunset." Grandpa ordered. The two nodded. They were pleased to be sidekicks for an important mission.
